A Wonderful Clock.

Two years ago a South Chicago jew- | eler did some figuring. He calculated | that he would in all probability live 40 years. He knew that it takes at least two minutes to wind the ordinary house clock. At that rate he figured that he would, during the rest of his life, spend about 60 days of his valuable time winding the clock, to say nothing of the time and temper lost through for- getting it. Then he decided to make a clock that would have to be wound but once in 40 years,

He spent his odd minutes at the task and has succeeded in producing a won- derful piece of mechanism—the only one of its kind, he claims, in the world.

This 40 year timepiece is 15 inches in diameter and weighs 75 pounds. The movement js geared so that the barrel wheel containing the mainspring re- volves once in 245 years.

When this wheel has made 56 revolu- tions, somebody will have to give the key 17 turns. The clock will then be wound up for another 40 years. The first wheel from the barrel wheel crowds JOB =. VTOOD). around at the rate of one turn a year.

: " The dial plate is six inches in diameter.

Secretary, Halifax, N.S The making of the work took most

of the jeweler’s leisure for 24 months.

The movement is full jeweled. The

clock will be put in a hermetically seal-

ed glass case, and it will work in a vac-

uum, thus lessening friction and pre-

venting the oil from drying.—Philadel- phia Times.

Chirography of the Presidents.

The chirography of the presidente from Washington down to McKinley is as different as the chirography of the same number of any other men chosen at random from the various walks of life. Students of character contend that there are many points of similarity in the mental make up and equipment of our presidents, but if there are they are certainly not shown in the hand- writing of these men. Of the entire lot I suppose old Zachary Taylor wrote the Worst hand. I have seen numerous let- ters of his which I am confident no hu- man being could read. It was cramped and awkward, like that of a boy just learning to write. Jefferson wrote a plain, flowing hand, and Monroe's writing was decidedly feminine, though not nearly so much so as Grover Cleve- land’s, whose chirography is small and delicate. Jackson’s scrawl bespoke a nervousness and timidity of which no- body dared to accuse him while he was on the earth, and Lincoln’s a smooth polish which his crude, simple mind did not bespeak. Of all our chief mag- istrates McKinley writes the best hand, and his chirography shows a painstak- ing ease and caution which are evident- ly the dominant factors of the man’s character.—St. Louis Republic.

Warning !

A Bright Young Celestial.

Sao-Ke Alfred Sze, a young China- man, has just been graduated from the Washington high school. He has been a bright student and is well liked by his classmates. ‘‘ Next fall,’’ says the Wash- ington Star, ‘“‘he expects to enter one of the leading colleges, and, after tak- ing a full collegiate course, to study law. This will necessitate his remain- ing in America for at least seven years more, and at the end of that time he will return to China and will probably be in line for the diplomatic service. He will be 27 yeare of age when he re- turns to his home, near Shanghai, after an absence of 11 years, but he will be fitted by education and training to fill almost any diplomatic place that may be offered to him. His many friends in Washington hope that some time in the dim future, while serving his country abroad, he may be sent to Washington as the embassador of the Celestial em-

pire.

Cold Beverages Injurious In Hot Weather.

‘*A word should perhaps be said as to the unwholesomeness of the extremely cold water, tea, lemonade and other liquids which are so extensively used throughout the United States,’’ writes Mrs. S. T. Rorer in The Ladies’ Home Journal. These cold drinks reduce the temperature of the stomach, thereby checking digestion, and for this reason | should be avoided during or immediate-

ly after meals. It cannot be denied that one may become a toper on nonintoxi- cants as well as intoxicants and that it is very easy to create a strong desire for { frequent drafts of any pleasaut, cold drink. Where perspiration flows freely, the effect is less serious, but in most cases the free use of cold drafts disturbs the stomach, and it would be much bet- | ter if they were entirely given up. Teach your little ones as well as your- self to be satisfied with water at a tem- perature of 50 degrees and to limit the amount of sweet drinks taken. In the evening and possibly between meals one might indulge now and then in a glass of lemonade, orangeade or currant punch. For a tennis party the various mixtures like oriental punches will ap- pease the thirst and iced chocolate served at luncheon is certainly an agree- able food as well as a pleasant drink. Cafe frappe comes under the same bead. ’’

Mrs. Langtry.

Rumor has it that, now that Mrs, Langtry has secured her divorce, she will soon marry an Englishman of posi- tion equal to the task of restoring her to her place in society, in order that she may introduce her daughter. The girl, who has been very carefully brought up, is now of an age to go into the world, and as she has some of her moth- er’s beauty and will probably be quite an heiress her possible marriage is be- coming an important question.—San Francisco Argonaut.

Queer Conduct of a Kentucky Tree.

There is a very remarkable tree in Mrs. Elizabeth Porter’s front yard at her home in the suburban part of town. Jt is an old locust tree, and in the driest of weatber a continued shower of mist Or vapor can be seen coming from its branches. A shower can be had beneath its foliage at any hour, day or night — Glasgow Republican | -
