THERE is clock at Worsley, Lord
Ellesmeres seat in England, which, at
one o'clock, always strikes thirteen. The
reason is that one day the great English
canal maker of the last century, the
Duke Of Bridgewater, to whom tho
estate belonged, found . number II
mechanics in bis employ idling about
after one, when they ought to have
returned to their work. inquiring the
meaning of this, be was told that they
had not heard the clock strike, 1t being
much more easy to miss hearing the
single stroke than half dozen or so. The
next day the clock struck thirteen, and
has done 10 ever since.

much more urgent formerly than now.
BENJAMIN Franklin, writing to his sister
on July 8. 1885, in answer to her COM
plant that abe WAS unable to spell cor
rectly, sent her the following story: "A
gentleman received a letter in which
were these words: "Not finding Brown
at bom delivered your meseg to his yf."
The gentleman finding it bad spelling.
and therefore not very Ineligible, called
his lady to help him read il. Between
them they picked sut the meaning OF
all but the yi, which they could not
understand, The lady proposed calling
her cham bermaid. because Betty, ssys
she, has the best knack at reading had

came, and was surprised that neither
Sir nor Madam could tell wfst IT was.
tWhy,, says she. vt spells wife; what
else can IL spell?' And, indeed, 1t isa
