FIRST CLAss.-We mean the Bank
Exchange Saloon, in Gold Hill, kept
by Mr.. C. II. Price. We know it is
first-class, as Price sets nothing on
his counter but the finest of wines
and liquors; also imported cigars.
At II NJ. each day he will spread a
hot lunch equal to any saloon on
the Coast. You can't miss it, as it
is nearly opposite the Bank of Cali
tornia, Main Street.

WHY Is IT?-Why is it that eve
rybody goes to the Metropolitan boot

OyERHAULED. - The Exc elsior
Mill, owned and run by JOHN
Briggs, is being thoroughly over
hauled and renovated. The late
storm has left the roads in such a
condition that it is impossible to
haal ore to it. Mr.. Briggs is taking
advantage OF this unavoidable sus-
pension and will soon have his mill
in the best possible condition. The
mill has for over a year been run

Uncle Sans Clock.



At the Naval Observatory in Washing
ton stands the clock that regulates time
for the whole country. 1t is not beauti-
full, like many lovely French clocks that
noiselessly tick upon the parlor MANTLE
In fact, it is large and tall, with plain face,
and body of dark wood and without
ornamentation. 1t is much like the old
fashioned clock that stood in our grand
mothers kitchens. Itnowhere touches the
floor or walls Of the building, but is
securely fastened to a stone pier, which
rests upon q solid stone foundation; so
that it may not be affected by any mo-
ton of the building or ground. Rains
may descend, floods come, winds blow
and beat upon the house, but the clock
feels it not, for it is built upon a rock.
1t is splendid time-keeper. At the
present time it gains at the rate of one
4sth of a SECOND per day,
In order that people all over the country
may have uniform time, so important for
railroads, steamboats,, and other public
copveyances, at three minutes before twelve
each day this clock 10 connected by means
of a galvanic battery, with the wires of
the Western Union Telegraph, which ex-
tend into the room containing tho clock.
All other messages, however important,
must give way for three minutes, and in
every town and station, from Maine to Cal
ifornia, where there is telegraph operator,
as the pendulum of the clock ticks, each
second tick is recorded by the telegraph
and AZ the instant OF twelve two ticks arc
givpn. =,
At the same instant huge BLACK ball
which is drawn up few moments before
descends upon the dome of the Obserya'
tory; and hundreds all over the city stand
with watch in hand, to see it drop, to keel
as we say, ball time" Thus when this
ball drops, click in every large town il
the land tells the hour of twelve.
The clock is also connected with thu
wires of the Fire Alarm in this city, ant
the time is sent to the Central office, ant
then sounded by the three church-bell
that give the fire alarm,
So, while the clcrka Of Washington ar
watching the ball, the restless school-bo
of Minnesota is waiting to hear the bi
clock upon the town-house sound Its merr
+ peal, the signal of dismissal, and tho tire
factory girl at Lowell listens eagerly fo
the same sound.

Swearing,

Boys, Don't swear. 1t is one of the
worst and most degrading practices to
which person can be addicted. A pro-
fame swearer what character is this for
u man to possess, cursing God who created
him, and disappearing His name by whom
he is sustained and kept alive. Still this
is very common practice. Not only in
the saloons, and by the inebriate, is this
dreadful language used, but on the streets
and sometimes by the fireside oaths are
uttered to hear which makes one shudder.
Don't swear 1t is said that there is a
reason for everything, but l cannot think
of the slightest reason why person should
swear, as it makes him neither wiser nor
better, but causes him to lose selfrespect
and the respect of Others. Again, swearing
is abusive to the mind that thinks it, to
the tongue that utters it, and to the person
to whom it is aimed, Again l say, don't
swear; for it is wicked and a violation of
Gods law which says =" the Lord will not
hold him guiltless that taketh His name in
vain"

MILKING Cows.-The milk of cows
soon after they have calved, contains more
butter, and it is much more easily churned
than it is afterwards About five months
after calving the milk undergoes change,
and the cream is not only less in quality,
but the butter globules are smaller. The
reason why milk froths in churns is, that
when it sours, alcohol is formed by the
decomposition of the sugar of milk, and
this causes the milk, when shaken or beat
en-, to foam or froth. If this froth exists
to large extent, butter will not come,
and the milk is useless for churniug pur-
poses. The longer the COW is MIXED after
calving the less is the yield of butter and
the less nourishment is there contained in
her milk Westminster Aduocate.

Speed the E'lOU.o
Strawberries.

The bed intended-for Strawberries in the
garden should be forked over at least three
times before setting out the plants. Fur
rows should then be opened, six or eight
inches deep and two and half feet apart.
In these burrows plenty ofwell decomposed
yard manure should be scattered, with the
addition OF wood ashes, or some other fer
tilizer. and then covered over with five or
six inches Of fine soil. The plants should
then be set on the top of the ridges, about
foot and half apart in the row, and, in
planting, the soil should be pressed firmly
around the roots. The afterculture is sim
ply to keep the surface loose and the weeds
down. With strong plants to start with
by the Fall, there will be continuous bed
OF plants two feet in width, leaving Just
room enough for path between these rows.
In the Southern States where the soil is light
and subject to long droughts, this method
OF putting the manure directly under the
plants won't answer, for the plants are like
" to burn up in dry weather. In South
Carolina, bone dust or superphosphate of
lime is spread broadcast, and the plants
are set out in level beds.
VARIETIES TO PLANT.
While the "Wilson" has proved valuable
market sort, being productive, hardy, and
firm of texture, it is of an inferior quality,
and not a desirable sort in collection of
three or four varieties for home use. For
garden culture and family needs there are
three requisites to be sought for in making
selection of strawberries. The first
should be productiveness the second,
quality; and the third, size. 1t is sisted
every now and then that one gets size in
the strawberry at the expense of quality.
This however, is not the case for one of
our large size berries, the "Triomphe de
Gand," stands at the head of the list for
tirmness and quality. In small collection
for the garden it is not desirable to have
more than four kinds, say seventy plants of
each to start, or three hundred in all. This
number, planted and cared for in the way
recommended, will yield fruit enough for
q family of eight or ten persons three times
day through the entire season. In
selection of four kinds for garden culture
would include the "Charles Downing
"Seth Boyden," "Triomphe de Gand," and
"Green Prolific" with the "Neunan" for
the South. All of these sorts, except the
last named, produce large fruit and plenty
of it, under what is known as high cul-
ture
The Screen Prolific" is not quite ND to
the standard in quality, but this variety
possesses so many other good characteris-
tics that it may be safely recommended in
in collection of this kind.
In cultivating Strawberries, either for
home use or market purposes, the ground
around the roots should not be disturbed
in the Spring of the bearing year.-P.D.
b., in Scri6ner's Monthly.

How TO MAKE A VALUABLE RECEIPT
BooK.-Every housekeeper should have
her own receipt book-a book of her own
creation, of gradual growth and proved ex-
cellence, and we propose to show our lady
readers how to make one. In the first
place buy blank-book, and write your
name and date on the first leaf. Divide the
book into as many different departments
as you wish, heading each page with the
department to which it belongs, as follows:
Receipts for cleaning receipts for soups;
receipts for cooking meats; receipts for
cake, and SO on through family cooking.
Then comes cooking for the sick, care of
the sick, and all the various things that
are part of woman's duty, and for which,
unfortunately, there is no school but ex-
perience. Number the pages if they are
not numbered in the beginning, and make
an index, leaving blank spaces in the in
dex to correspond with blank pages be-
tween departments which you do not ex-
pect to fill Immediately. Write down UNI
der these different heads every receipt
which you have actually tried, or the re-
suit which you have seen in the house of
your friends, and enter the page in the
index.

"What is it for z" asked the druggist.

But you must remember that only places
on the same meridian with Washington
have after all, exactly the same time
The sun in passing round the earth (Which
is divided into three hundred and sixty
degrees of longitude every tweenty-tour
hours, must pass through one degree, which
is about sixty-nine miles, every four minu-
ties. So if the sun rises in Boston at seven
o'clock it will not rise in New York two
hundred miles west, till twelve minutes
past seven, or seven o'clock will not come
to them for twelve minutes after it has
reached Boston. Neither will it be twelve
o'clock till twelve minutes later than in
Boston.
Take the Pacific railroad, and travel
west with your watch correct in Boston
when you reach Omaha you will be an
hour and half ahead of their time; and
when you arrive at San Francisco your
watch will be three hours and half fast,
because old Sol is still on the way.
When you, in Boston, are going to
church at eleven o'clock the boys at San
Francisco are just taking their break fast
at half-past seven.
So, while tell you that all the towns
receive the click of twelve at the same
time, you must remember that in places
situated in longitude east or west from
Washington the number of minutes it
takes the sun to pass those degrees must
be added or subtracted from twelve, to
give them correct time.
Another thing in the room where the
clock is, would interest the boys who are
delighted with everything that pertains to
a ship. This room may be termed gov
eminent depot, for here are some two hun
dred ship chronometers. These are SIM
ply large-sized watches, and are furnished
to every government sea-going vessel
Here they are kept several months to be
regulated, and their accuracy tested by
this clock. The officer in charge examines
them daily at certain hour, and careful
ly rates the time kept by each.
When a government vessel is ordered to
sea, this officer takes them with all posi-
BILE care, to the vessel. protecting them as
far as possible from all sudden jars or vio-
lent jolting.
When on his cruise, the captain also rates
daily the time kept by the chronometer.-
This he does by lunar observation. He
marks the time between the moon and
some star by his quadrant, which he veri-
ties by his nautical almanac. One was
seen at the Observatory that had been alb
sent three years with an Eastern squadron,
and had varied during the whole time but
q few seconds Wide 1aoake.

Changed and beautified thou art,
Yet still the same dear place
Where first upon my young heart fell
The promises of grace.
l yet can see before me there
The faithful PASTORS form,
Who labored patiently with us
Through sunshine and through storm.
Until the blessed Master called
His spirit from its clay,
And with our loved and lost VIC laid
Our Shepherds form away.
Well knowing we should see him,
In his home among the blest,
Where the wicked cease from troubling
And the weary are at rest
The same green trees are casting
Their shadows cool and sweet,
Where the velvet grass is spreading
A carpet for our feet.
Our precious dead are sleeping
In peaceful, quiet rest,
And the flowers are brightly blooming
On the sod above their breast.
The sparkling water gushes
Pure and limpid from the spring,
And the grateful birds their praises
To the Master sweetly sing.
The same sweet words of promise
Thy ministers proclaim.
Though thy form is far more beautiful,
TO me thou art the same.
May thy flock be blest and happy,
When in this house of prayer;
May they feel the loving presence
OF their Lord and Saviour there.

Posrs.-A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman writes I'll have had an expe-
rience of over sixty years, on one farm, and
have tested the matter. | have found that
chestnut posts of young timber will last
much longer than old, and that those set top
down will stand nealry Or twice as long as
those set with butt end down, and that
small posts, say to inches in diameter,
outlast larger posts. All posts should be
thoroughly seasoned before setting. Sea.
soncd chestnut posts of young small timber
will last if set top down from s TO Is years.
The best size for lasting is from to and 10

LOOK TO THE WEEDS. Gut down all
weeds before they run to seed. Ii your
slovenly neighbor won't cut his, go and
cut them for him, if he will give you per-
mission. 1t will pay you well, for the
seeds from his filthy weeds will be sure to
terminate on your soil unless his farm is
kept as free of them as your own. Ii all
farmers would pursue this plan, there would
be less trouble in keeping clean fields,
clean crops, clean hedgc-row and turning
rows. A clean farm is one of the best
evidences of a good farmer.

According to French statistician
taking the mean of many accounts, man
of fifty years of age has slept 5000 days,
worked $500 days, amused himself 1000
days, was eating 1900 days, was sick 500
days, etc. He had eaten 10000 pounds of
bread, 1000 pounds OF meat, 900 pounds
of vegetables, eggs and fish, and drank
7'000 gallons Of liquor, viz, water, coffee,
tea, beer, wine, ETC., altogether. This
would make respectable lake OF 800
square feet surface three feet deep, on
which small ateam boats could navigate
And all this makes up the routine of an

Editor of The AEgis d I.telliqenccr:

Mr.. Editor Of The 48,yis It htteNigencer:
AS there is great deal of rivalry everywhere,
in the political field, in the social circle, and
even in the church, therefore you might expect
it in the business profession. This rivalry in
business has reached the climax in the stove
trade.
Ever since the TIMES COOK took the Gold
Medal for quick baking 1t has been attacked by
jealous rivals, but since it has taken the lead
of all first class Cook Stoves in Baltimore and
bids fair to finally supcrcede them. 1t has in
Cured the spite and envy of those who could
not secure the sale it, so much so that they
take our double fire shield cross piece and I'M
crew them and show buyers e.half and say
.he TIMES COOK has very light castings. They
also say it will not bake well, draw well, is not
No. iron, &C., &c.
So the only security for buyers is to come di-
rect to No. So ~ Gay Street, near Front Street,
and see for themselves if the TIMES COOK
isn't the largest, heaviest, most economical, and
best BAKING STOVE ever made. Every one
of the TIMES COOK is guaranteed to bake per.
fectly
The reason can sell them so cheap is that
am connected with the "Quakertown Stove
Works." and we make them ourselves so you
buy from first hands No two profits at young
Gluck's.
We do say it is the heaviest, largest and the
best working stove ever offered for sale.
Nearly eight thousand sold.
