FACTS ABOUT OLO CLOCKS.
feuggeited by Timepiece. the Sight of An Ancient
A fine old timepiece Is on exhibition
temporarily in Heading, Pa. It atuuds
majestically bark of a plate glass Win¬
dow—a real, though not an apparent
Obstacle-—eight and a halt tcet in
height, massive, but of perfect sym¬ of
metry and without a suggestion
bulk. It was constructed about 150
years ago by Ziegler of Allentown, Pa.
The mechanism came from Germany
and the pipe organ with which it is
equipped from Switzerland. The ryl-
lodera that arc n part of Its musical
equipment are wooden and an In-
dlsputaidc Index of its antiquity, since
these have not been made for a century
a.id a half. They ure contained in a
mahogany cabinet, about ono yard
square, the wood being the same aa
that of the clock.
Above the dial stand forth tho flg-
ures of an orchestra, a pompous eollec
Won of musicians, each holding the In-
strument he plays. Surmounting these
au.oma.a Is the risnlflr.nl Inscription:
AbreiflG, Quentin Durwara.
The orchestration oc,„r 8 every half
hour, when, instead of the usual ono
bell, delicious and quaint airs Hood the
apartment. Eyes as well as ears aro
delightful «h the rnufiicianH above tho
dial raise their instrument, into propet
position, make nil the motions of per-
fo-mlng and then drop them to their
sides again. Each Instrument can be
recognised In tin ensemble, and the
delightful effect 1 * better imagined
than described.
Thlrty-two air* constitute the mag-
ntfleent repertoire, whlelt Is presented
on vellum in old German and quaintly
framed, making a most attractive fe:i-
lure. No more artistic environment
for thlH work of art eoulil be suggested
than to remain in Hu-po ,: Ion of tho
last representative of Hi" family that

The legislature took up nearly the
entire day Thursday in the eonsidera-
Hhu of r <1 the 1 lull, jn and , i it was . u finally ii„
pushed through at 2 o clock Friday
morning l»y the combined and heroic
effort of Governor Atkinson, President
Horner and Speaker Jenkins, The
whole trouble grow out of the senate’s
refusal to concur with the house in tbe
section of the bill which provides for
the disposition of the money arising
from the hire of convicts.
Tho house wanted to put the money
in tho public school fund,where it now
goes, but the senate demurred. The
latter body struck out all reference to
the disposition of the fund and order-
ed it to be paid into the state treasury,
When tho two bodies Anally clashed
on this section the house appointed
Messrs. Boynton of Spalding, Little
of Muscogee, and Brannen of Bulloch,
as conferees to adjust the matter.
The senate put up Messrs. Cook,
Shropshire mid Turner. The two com-
mittees met aud fought for an hour or
more before reaching a conclusion and
in the meantime the sergeant-at-arms
..f the senate was kept busy shoving
lial " lH of tho cIo P k -

In so re-
opeeiive hodbiH. 1 resident Berner ro-
uppointed bis members and Speaker
.lenkiiiH put tip in ojiposition Messrs,
Swift, Kevin and Bowden. These
I'entlemen fongiit linlil nearly 2 o’clock
in the morning and again failed to
agree. Then President Berner reap-
pointed his.conferees and Speaker
Jenkins sent over Messrs. Slaton, Bush
and Boswell.- This last batch was too
much for the senate crowd and the
latter gave in after another hour of
diseursion.
,'hortly befme tinco o clock the two
reports wero made and aim, 1 tremen-

“«{« wriggled loose.
"‘blest excitement prevailed
and , a recess to invite Governor Atkm-
soil to address the assembly was tho
last measure considered, but Governor
Atkinson escaped through a side door
and the remainder of the session was
given over to disorder.
Tlie fact that the house had forced
the senate to give way on every point
in dispute led the uveudievs of the lower
body, however, to make things warm
foi all the representatives of the upper
branch who hail the courage to put in
an appear auce. adjourned at 2:45
The house a. m.
The senate adjourned ut 3:07.

The senate Wednesday morning re¬
sumed consideration of the convict
ppp ant j amendments were first read
and acted upon. The original bill, as
amended, was then put upon its pass-
age. The bill received u veto of 33
ayes to 7 nays, and was therefore pass-
ed. Upon the announcement of l’rcs-
ideut Berner that the bill had passed
there w as loud applause. The bill was
immediately transmitted to the house.
Senator Battle introduced areeolu-
tion, which was adopted, instructing
the special attorney representing the
st 'ite in connection with the Western
and Atlantic railroad to prepare a
handbook of that road.
The reading of house bills aud joint
resolutions w as then begun.
The following local bills were pass-
ed: To establish u public school sys¬
tem iu the town of Lumpkin; to make
it a penal offense to secure grass,
growth or woods upon the without'lhc property'of

aud nearly every senator m the chain-
her paid a tribute to the dead states¬
man.
A ‘ 'Wdnosday’s session the house
took uj'bctiator M alter s lull provid-
ing that militia districts adopting the
no feneo law shall erect fences. it
least a dozen members m:v!, speech -
for or against the measure. The bill
failed l y four votes.
Senator Gray’s bill for the protec- {
„ OI1 of fruit iliswfs am
was then ,,assed. This measure is to
l»e very important to the interests of
fruit raisiug in Georgia. It provides
for an inspection on the part of the ag¬
ricultural department with a view to
remedying the evil.
There was a hot tight over Senator
Beroev's bill for the election of the
trustees of tho state university by the
people. The bill came before the
house with a substitute from the com¬
mittee, offered by Mr. Little of Mus¬
cogee. to provide for the appointment
of 11 additional trustees, all of whom
shall be farmers.
The substitute was lost, the vote
being 53 to R 5 . A vote was then taken
on the original measure, which was
lost. On the bill the rote was 4
to 58.

Several spirited speeches followed
the introduction of a resolution at
Friday’s meeting of the American
Federation of Labor, in session at
Nashville, relating to the situation in
Cuba. The resolution declares “that
it is the sense of this convention that
the United States congress should
waste no more time in useless debate
and diplomatic chicanery, but should
take such immediate action as may
tend to put an end to the indiscrimin-
ate murder of tho common people of
Cuba by Spanish soldiery.”
The following substitute for the res¬
olution was introduced: “That it bo
the sense of the convention that Cuba
should have industrial freedom from
which it will receive political free-
dom.”

Men and Their Hal*.
Hats, according to an English writer,
on matters sartorial, aro the most
characteristic part of the male co 3 -
tume. The slouch or brigand hat gives |
great distinction to a spiritual and ex¬
pressive face, like Tennyson's, for ex- |
ample, but at private theatricals, es-
PeciaJly with a feather in it, it is ca-
Pable of transforming a feeble face
lnt0 that of a downright idiot's. Men
l n coc hed hats look wonderfully alike.

Perfume From Living Plants.
Captain Smee has discovered a
methodofgatheringthescentofflow-
ers as the plant Is growing. Uptakes
a glasR funnel and heats the thin end
over a spirit lamp. He then draws out
the stem to a fine point. This accom-
plished, the funnel is tilled with ieo
and placed on a retort stand, the
pointed end being placed in a small
glass bottle, without touching it. After
this tho stand and the funnel are
placed in a greenhouse among the
flowers whose odors it is desirable to
collect. Gradually the vapor rises
from the flowers, and in meeting the
colder surface of the funnel, condenses
in drops on the outside of the glass.
From the point of condensation it
trickles down until it drops into the
bottle. In a surprisingly short time
a largo amount of perfume is collected,
end it is claimed that 00 per cent of
the contents of the bottle is perfume;
the rest is water. Strange to say, this
essence of the flower needs to be adul¬
terated with spirits of wine. Other¬
wise it would become sour and use¬
less.—Pittsburg Dispatch.
Convicts Guarding Themselves-
The anomalous spectacle of a largo
gang of penitentiary convicts working
iu the open, with no officers or armed
force to guard them, is presented ev¬
ery day at Yuma, Ariz. They aro
camped on the Colorado Itiver, a little
above Yuma, to be exact, and they aro
engaged in cutting wood for the Ter-
ritory. None of them escape. None
try to escape. Why do they stay? Bc-
cause each man guards the other. Each
man Is a "short termer,” none of them
having more than a year yet to serve.
All are allowed a rebate for the work
they do. When a convict has cut two
cords of wood he has earned a day’s
rebate on his term, hut should one of
the gang escape, then every man in the
gang loses all rebates. Thus each man
becomes his brother’s keeper in a more
practical sense than the beautiful the¬
ory Is carried out among freemen.—St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.
