Preserving the Balance.

Old Captain Stanley, who lives down
in the middle of Kentucky, was good
Old hard-shell baptist, who occasionally
would tell story at the expense of some
of the brethren. Many years ago they
were not so conspicuously orthodox on
the temperance question as they are
in o,r time. ION one OCCASION" said
the captain, 1.-The brethren down IN my
region were about to have a grand church
gathering, and all the faithful in the
neighborhood were expected to exert
themselves to entertain suitably and
Hospitality the visiting brethren. Two
OF my neighbors met each other just
before the grand gathering, one of whom
said,
"'What are you going to dor"
"'Wcll, replied the man, I've laid in
gallon Of frst-rate whiskey'
"a gallon' retortcd his ncighbor,
with look of contempt; "why I've got
barrel, and you are just as able to sup
port the Gospel as l am.'"
In those days you could always tell
hard-shell by looking at him from be-
hind; one of the skirts of his coat would
hang lower than the Other-the one in
which he carried his bottle. But the
Captain said there was one old brother
down there whose UNCONVENTIONAL views
couldn't be ascertained in that way: his
skirts hung evcn---a bottle in each
pocket.-EDIToR's DRAWER, in Harper's

Our Russian contemporary, the Go.

ty. reching that journal from Uschi-
TIA, in the government of PodOlia.
Some short time ago three horses
were stolen from the popa of village
in the Uschitzr district, Suspectiug
two of his Pensioners of being con.
cerned in the theft, he resolved to eX.
tort from them, by force,a confession
of their criminalty, and to that end
invited them to his house, as well as
several of the most bigoted and I'M
scrupulous mOujiks belonging to his
congregation. These he made half
drunk with raki, and then set them
OH to administer to the unfortunate
men who had fallen under his suspi.
cion. After having crushed their
noses fiat to their faces. broken their
fingers joint by joint, cut off their
ears and torn out their boards by
handfuls, the besotted instruments of
priestly cruelty scared their victims
faces with red.hOt irons, until their
agony becoming intOlerable. they adj
mitted culpahility which they have
since strenuously denied to the Off
GERS of the law. These abominable
proceedings having come to the
knowledge of the state authorities at
Uschitza, the pope and his brutal ac-
completes have been arrested and
thrown into prison, where they are
now awaiting their trial. The annals
Of the Holy Inquisition contain no
more revolving narrative than that to
which the Golos calls the attention of
it's readers in terms IF unqualified in-
dignation.

A correspondent in conversation
with Secretary Evarts lately, learned
from him the following about the
southern Cancellation policy adopted
by the present administration at the
commencement of it's tenure of office,
and continued for about two years:
''That policy" said Secretary 3, arts would
have been successful had 1t not been for one
thing Thet was the death Of Senator Morton.
of Indiana. Senator Morton was, at its in
ception, made cognizant Of the course toward
the South that the administration intended to
pursue. He was told all the details, and was
consulted in every particular. He was in
perfect sympathy with the administration,
and volunteered to champion the cause in
Congress. That he meant what he said was
perfectly evident from the course he pursued
during the short time after President Hayes
inauguratiod that he was permitted to live.
II he had been spared there would have been
many differences In the course the admins
tration has pursued. When he died we found
no able Republican champion in the Senate.
Senator Matthews accorded with the Presi-
dents views, but he was not Morton. Conk-
ling and others completely routed him. The
want Of Morton afflicted the cause Of Presi-
dent Hayes administration moro than any
other cause.

Hoo TOsUer Clocks are Wound

The oldest tower clock in New
York is in st. Paul's steeple. 1t was
made in l778 by John Thwait, of
London. The clock in st. Johns
church was put in the tower in 1912.
The Trinity clock was placed in its
lofty station, 200 feet from the pave
ment, in 1916, by James Rogers. In
dry weather this clock runs well; but
in damp, chilly weather, it some
times stops, owing to the precipita-
ton of moisture OH the wheels. Orig.
inally two men were required to wind
it., each of the three 1900 pound
weights having to be lifted over fifty
feet. Some time ago the winding
gear was changed so that one man
can now wind it.
Describing the operation of wind.
ing, the clOck.keeper said: The crank
is about twenty inches long, and
when l turn it around make "a sweep
of thirty inches. It's Il good deal
harder than turning a grindstOne, but
the machine has a ratchet. so that i
can stop and rest when l want to.
The crank has to be turned $50 times
to turn the barrel twenty.One times.
Around the barrel is wound the wire
rope that holds the 1909 pound weight.
The weight is simply a box with
pieces of iron in 1T. That is very
Old-fashiOned. Now we have iron
weights so moulded that they can be
added to or substracted from, and
the weight can be graded to nicely.
A new wire rope was put to the
chimes weight the other day. The
rope is what is called tiller rope, and
is $50 feet long and three.quarters of
an inch thick. 1t takes me an hour
and half to wind up the clock.
st. Paul's clock has single back
gear and two weights of 1000 pounds
each. 1t takes three.quarters of an
hour to wind it. st. Johns clock is
wound in less than an hour; while the
modern clock of st. Georges, in
charge of the same keeper, is wound
in fifteen minutes.

MABEL AND HENRI.

She was alone in the world. Her vari-
GUS relatives had gradually passed away
and, by strange coincidence, just as the
last one passed she found herself alone.
Alone, did We say? Yet not utterly, for
her dear piano was left her, and seat
ing herself before it she softly played the
one sweet air, the only one that she
played completely.
It was true that it was rumored that
the mortality among her relatives
was attributed to too often listening to
the strain Of this lovely morceau, but
nevertheless it brought back to her ten
der memories of childhood and she
played it to herself dreamingly-"Tbe
Maiden's Prayer"
"Mabel, play me that strain again.
It was young man who spoke. and he
leaned over the piano and watched her
delicate fingers meander over the bass
notes in the romantic crOss-hand move
ment.
"Ahl Henri" responded Mabel, 81
could play it to you for ever"
A slight shudder crossed the marble
brow Of the young man as he responded:
cit seems to me to be tone-picture OF
unequaled beauty. Observe the flights
Of the right hand into the highest notes;
even so might pure prayer rise into the
heights Of the blue empyrean."
"But SEQ, Henri" said the maid
"now the melody is hid beneath the
deep notes of the bass.
"And, even so, the highest thoughts
must fall again to earth and seek the
practical. Mabel, We are poor. lam
an inventor and yet hope to perfect my
delicious steam calliope, which will
bring ME fame and fortune. Till then
adieu Accept this as last memento Of
one who loves you fondly."
He was gone. She tearfully opened
the package. 1t contained small mu-
steal box which played two tunes.
"Then You'll Remember Me" and "The
Sweet By-and-By"-sad reminders OF
his affection and hopes.
Five years had passed. Mabel JAN
gleure was no longer young, but she
was interesting and full of witching
grace.
She had boldly faced fortune and had
turned music teacher. Many, many
pupils had come to her and she had
taught them all La Priere dune Vierge.
She was no longer poor, but her heart
was poverty stricken indeed. At night
she would sit in her solitary abode and
play the well-remembered moroccan (she
knew it by heart now, and would grind
out the two airs from her beloved musi-
cal box. She sat one evening slowly
grinding. Her thoughts were far away
as she turned the crank "Then You'll
Remem-"

"Henri de Homboge

"Oh, Henri" sobbed Mabel, as her
arms tinaidly encircled his neck and her
fingers played "The Maiden's Prayer"

Hens for EOOs in Winter.

And now comes complaints from
the good housewives of the cities
that there are no eggs in market,
which is probably caused by the fact
that the hens have ceased to lay.
This is by no means an unusual &C.
currence in this State during the ex-
IRENE cold winter months, but if the
poultry houses are as warm as they
should be and the hens supplied with
the proper food they will lay all win.
ter long. One thing is certain, and
that is, the lighthouses should be
built so warm that the slightest frost
could not be permitted to penetrate
into them. a distinguished poultry
fancier, in writing upon hens laying
in the winter, says:
If Il man has a comfortable place
in which to keep his hens,he can keep
them laying through the winter, if he
chooses to give them the necessary
care and attention in the preparation
and variety of food. AS to variety
of feed, though corn and buckwheat
as well rs other sorts of grain, are
excellent food for poultry, still
neither corn nor buckwheat alone,
meets the requirements for egg pro.
duction, but either or both of them
with the addition of other food of
different kinds, to make II variety
suited to the birds wants, will an

ply of eggs which will repay the ex.
pense and labor involved. have had
excellent results from feeding mainly
with buckwheat, giving daily, in ad.

cornmeal, or some small potatoes
baked, occasionally seasoning the
mess well with cayenne pepper.
~ occasional feeding Of scraps of
meat Or something of that kind, is also
necessary in the winter when the
fowls are confined to the house and
there are 10 insects or anything of
that nature which they can procure
at any rate if this is not necessary
it will be found a very beneficial adj.
ditiOn to their diet.
