ALTERING THE CLocK.-The Duke
ofBridgewater observed that, though
tho men dropped work promptly az
the bell rang when he was not by,
they were not nearly so punctual in
resuming work, some struggling in
many minntea after time. He asked
the reason, and the mems excuse
was, that though they could hear the
clock when it struck twelve they
could not So readily hear j, when It
only struck one. On this the Duke
had the mechanism of the clock al-
:srsd SD as to make it strike thirteen
at one clock. which it continues to
do until this day. Would it not be
well FIR the Navy Department to
place such q clock in every American
navy yard.

not be generally known that the
crown of Mexico was offered, in 1921,
to Joseph Bonapartc, uncle OF the
Emperor Napoleon III. and refused.
This is asserted in Vol. Ii. of the

Long TIME AGo.-Nothing can be-
more interesting to our Judgment
than an opportunity to examine the
houses, utensils, ornaments, domes-
tic convenience, ETC., of a people who
lived two or three thousand years
ago. How such an opportunity car
ries the mind back to past agcs, and
bids it revel in scenes and adventures
for which we can fiEd no counter
part nowadays! The excavation at
Pompeii, in Italy, afford Just such a
luxury. We have eazed for hours
at the unearthed relics of antiquity
on the site Of that once great city,
and these relics are so numerous 40
to satisfy the most exciting curiosity.
BUT they have recently been in
creased, we sec, by new discovery
Cor mill in an excellent state OF
preservation, has just been dug out,
and within it has been found not only

containing eighty-one loaves of bread

a philosophlc eye! Here is the
very sort of broad the Pompeians
used to eat A. D. 70. or nearly two
thousand years ago! Here is the
shape of-the loaf placed upon their
table Here isthe grain from which,
when ground, the loaf they ate was
made! Aud here. too, is one of the
mills in which they pulverized the
grain for the purpose! Could any
thing be more wonderfully sugges-

Do THE RIGHT THING.-Whenevev
you are in doubt which of two things
to do, let your decision be that which
is right. Do not wager, do not par
ley but square up to the mark, and
do the right thing. Boy! when you
divide that apple with your little sis
ter Go not keep the largest halfyour-
self. Young man! do not sneak
out Of the house to escape your fa-
ther's eyes. Maiden! let not the
most tritling deceit pass current in
those little acts which make the sum
of your life. No matter who you
are or what your lot, or where you
live, you cannot afford to do that
which is wrong. The only way
to obtain happiness and pleasure
yourself, is to do the right thing.
Y0u may not always hit the mark 4;
but you should nevertheless aim at
it, and with every trial your skill will
increase. Whether you are to be
praised or blamed for it by others,
whether it will seemingly make you
richer or poorer, or whether any
other person than yourself knows
of your action, still, always, and
in all cases, do the right thing.
Your first lesson in this will grow
easier, until finally doing the right
thing will become habit, aud to do
wrong will seem an absolute impos-
sibility.

son of dull epiGermis or skin witt,
which they are covered. This is re-
moved by steeping the shell in warm
water, and then rubbing it off with
a brush. When the epidermis is
thick it will be found necessary TO
mingle with the water a small por-
ton of nitric acid, which, by dis
solving part of the shell, destorys
the adhesion. The last agent must
be employed with great caution,
since it destroys the lustre on every
pa't exposed to its influence. Tho

leather, assisted with tripoli; in many

that he was ready to receive suitors
for them without expecting any pres

rid of them at any price, or at no
price. Among the savage tribes of
our own days the custom still pre-
walls. The red man Of America
still bargains for his wife, and the
price, varies from four horses down
to bottle of brandy. The Russians
do not mince the matter as more
civilized nations do, but when a
marriage is proposed the lover, ac-
companied by friend, goes to the
home of the bride and says to the
mother, "Show us your merchan-

cient Assyrians deserve some credit
for the custom they introduced: ev-
cry year they put up all their beau
ties at auction, and tho prices that
were given for these were applied by
way of II portion to those who were

gained for them. They made SEN
