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.

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.

Hats, according to an English writer, on matters sartorial, aro the most characteristic part of the male co 3 - tume.

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. Lucky Escape.
