The Trade i'm Old Fashioned Clocks.

lReadlnS Times ana D1Spatcn.J
Within a few years past quite demand
mas been created for high old fashioned
clocks, which on account of their antique
appearance are valued as Centennial relics.
Large prices are paid for thom in large
cities, and the leading furniture establish
ments have agents employed who buy up
the old clocks in the country districts, for
Which they pay liberal prices. There are u
number of such clocks in this country, there
being one in almost every family. Some of
them are over century old, and have been
handed down from generation to generation.
In Maidcncreek and Ontelaunee township
there are said TO be number of these old
ffss6oned clocks, and recently Mrs. W. A.
lin elreich and Silas Stoudt, Of Leesport,
purchased large lot of these clocks, which
were revarnished and sent to this city to be
forwarded to Philadelphia and New York
&some Of these clocks, If handsomely carved,

Three Men From Maine.

The Towsontown (Md.) "Union" says !:
"Dr. VIM. Corse, of the Twelfth District,
reports the following very singular circum-
stances: On last Friday, 7th, three gentle
men from Maine visited the premises of DR..
Georee F. Corse, at Gardenville, Twelfth
District, and asked permission to dig at a
certain spot, where, they stated, money had
been buried fourteen years ago. DR.. Corse
allowed them the privilege, and after some
little time, with the assistance of q book of
directions, drawing lines from different
points and making other observations, they
commenced to dig in potato patch, and
after digging eighteen inches, and removing
very heavy stone, they drew out large
pot, as much as two of them could carry,
but as the doctor was called out he did not
have an opportunity to see its contents or to
know the value of the prize. They put two
small boxes in the hole and filled 1t up, say
ing to one of the servants that they would
return In three weeks, after which they
drove in the direction of Baltimore. The
next day they returned, bringing in q cart
Ia large fag-pole and the German flag,
which they erected directly over the spot
where they took out the pot containing,
according to their statements, gold.

Sounds at Night.

Every one has noticed how many
singular sounds are heard at night
noises apparently unexplainable,
andconsequentiy mysterious. Many
a ghost story has sprung from an un-
accountable noise; many person
terrified beyond measure by an un-
expected sound at midnight. Sir
David Brewster gives an excellent
account of a mysterious night-sound
which would have frightened many
persons, but which proved innocent
ly harmless when tested by a steady
observer. A gentleman heard a
strange sound every night, soon after
getting into bed; his wife heard it
also, but not at the time when she
retired, a little earlier than he. No
probable cause could be assigned,
and the effect upon the immagina-
ton became rather unpleasant. He
found, some time afterward, that the
sound came from u wardrobe which
stood near the head of his bed. He
almost always opened and closed
this wardrobe when undressing, but
as the door was a little tight he could
not quite close it, The door, posi-
bly, affected by gradual changes of
temperature, forced itself open with
a sort of dull sound which was over
in an instant. From the lady not
being in the habit of using that
wardrobe, the mystery became asso-
ciated with her husband only. Had
they given way to imagination, and
never investigated the affair, anoth-
err haunted house would have been
added to the long row already stand
ing.

RidicuIous Patents.

Among the ridiculous patents Is
sued from the Patent Office is one
where the inventor wanted patent
for an artificial moon. His idea was
to have an immense balloon, which
was to be moored in the air above
the town or city, and from which
would be suspended an elecric light
of great fire. By means Of this in
yention we were to become entirely
Independent of the moon, and dis
pense with gas lamps in the street
altogether.
Still another wanted patent for
placing large propeller wheel on
the bow ola boat. The vessel was
simply to be started by steamer.
CINE, and then the forward motion OF
the boat would cause the water to
turn the wheel on the bow, and this
wheel would in turn impart motion
| to another wheel at the stern, which
was to drive the boat forward. The
inveAtor's great fear in regard to
this Invention was that it would be
Impoi ible to build boat that would
be stFdhg enough to go through the
watefat that immense speed he ex,
pected to attain by means of this in
vention, and his great object was tc
invent some method to keep the
boat from running more than fifty
miles an hour.
Another wanted to obtain patent
upon an embalming compound, and
wished to show how well it would
preserve bodies, obtained the body Of
an infant, embalmed it in his best
manner, and sent the body to the of
flee as a model. His model was in
8tantly returned to him.
Applications for patients for per
petual motion are about as frequent
as ever. Many of these inventions
show a great deal of ingenuity, but
all of them an utter lack of knowl

Importance of Good Cooking.

To cook a potato exactly right, 50 that it
will be just done and no more, be mealy,
white and perfect, requires an exercise of
that talent which is little short of genius,
so one would think who eats vegetables at
ordinary tables. The same is true of onions,
that odorous bulb, which is almost always
served under-done of beans which are eth
er burned in the baking or dried to chok-
ing consistency. Now a hungry epicure
even can make good meal off of three or
four things-nicely cooked meat, perfectly
prepared potato, dish of ripe fruit and
exemplary bread and butter. 1t is not vari-
ETY. or quantity that is so important as the
quality, and if those who feed at their hands
would certainly be the gamers. 1t is a
great deal easier, when one has really made
up her mind to it, to have everything just
right than it is to let things drift, for one
right thing fits into another right thing and
then the whole is right. Badly cooked food
is not only sheer waste in nerve and
muscle, but soul power. The hungry
body vainly attempts recuperation in trying
to digest and assimilate food not "conven-
lent" for it, so that what might have been
accomplished had the food been right re-
mains undone.

Ahnnllnn llnnsna

The practice of huildug icc houses be-
low the surface of the ground has nearly
passed away. The objections are the diff
Guilty in providing perfect and certain drain
age, the heat conveyed to the walls from the
conducting earth, and the additional expens-
es ; the only advantage is the greater facility
in filling Where the ice house can be set
ON Shipping bank all the advantages may
be secured without the drawbacks. The
drainage may be perfect, and the ice may be
brought and easily placed within, from a
wagon or sled, at the upper or rear part
Of the building. The lower part is built
with stone or hard burned brick, the upper
with double walls filled with sawdust. Or,
the upper portion may be single or double
walls, provided the ice is TO be packed with
. ten inches or foot of sawdust on each side
The only objection to this mode of build
ing il, that the lower walls must be thick
er than the upper, making n shoulder all
around. This is obviated by making a
structure of iron to correspond, or larger
above than below. Or the whole may be
built of wood if the lower part is protected
against decay, by first filling the pores of
the wood used for this part, thoroughly with
crude petroleum, and then coating the sur
face with hot gas-tar. The petroleum rem
ders the wood as durable as red cedar, and
the hard coating of gas-tar keeps it there.
From many years of experience we find
il easier to manage an ice house with single
than with double walls, because we can see
distinctly that every part of the mass of ice
is properly protected. Ten inches of well
packed sawdust will protect it from the heat
without. IF sawdust cannot be had eigh.
teen or twenty inches of finely chopped
straw will answer as well.) There are three
essential requisites to be observed in every
case, namely, surrounding the ice on every
side with o perfect non-conductor, giving
perfect drainage without admitting air, and
allowing free ventilation over the tol
packing. With those requisites provided
the ice will keep without difficulty.
The easiest and simplest way to effect
drainage is to place an even stratum of saw.
dust about ten inches thick, on loose
plank floor, through the crevices of which
the water from the melting ice will freely
pass. The sawdust should be thicker on
the top, as it is more or less distributed
or displaced in taking out ice, and there is
danger of too thin covering being left in
places, unless abundant material is provid-
ed.
In filling any ice-house, the interior di-
mensions should first be found, and the ice
be then cut of such size as to leave the right
degree of thickness for the packing COm-

Pure Air.

A fruitful source of heart-dsease is the
breathing of impure air, and thousands of
people ignorantly favor its occurrence by
confining themselves to closely shut, ill-ven-
tilated rooms. The child who, fresh from
his afternoons ramble in the fields, last
evening said his prayers dutifully, ..and lay
down to sleep in most Christian frame,
this morning sits up in bed with his hair
bristling with crossness, strikes at his nurse,
and declares he won't say his prayers
that he don't want to be good. The simple
difference is, that the child, having slept in
a close box of a room, his brain all night
fed by poison, is in a mild state of moral
insanity. Delicate women remark that il
takes them till II or II o'clock to get up
their strength in the morning. Query: Dc
they sleep with closed windows and doors
and with heavy bed-curtains.
