How the swallows stonped the CIock.

Two newly-married swallows, with
the important business of building q
nest on their minds, stopped to rest one
morning on the hands of a great church
clock in the town of Newark, New Jer-
sey. Presently they noticed little hole
on its face just large enough for a swal-
low to enter. They looked in, and saw
a lovely place for n nest among n collec-
ton of wheels that seemed perfectly
quiet.
There is a great difference, you must
know, in the movement of the wheels Of
the great clocks. Some turn swiftly,
while the larger ones move so slowly
that, unless they are watched for a long
time, they seem to be standing still.
The swallows thought it would be de-
licious to live in the clock. No boys
could disturb them, and unless some one
should invent new kind of flying cat
they would never have any unwelcome
and dangerous visitors. So they began
to build. They carried hay and grass
and cotton into the clock, and by night
their nest was half finished. They slept
in a neighboring tree, and in the morn
ing flew back with fresh building mate
rials. Something very strange had hap
pened. The nest that they had partly
built had nearly disappeared. They had
to begin again. All that day they
worked hard. The next morning they
found that the same cruel trick had been
played on them. They now became
very indignant, and that night they
perched on the hands of the clock, so as
to be near in case any one should try to
destroy their nest In the course of tho
night the hands of the clock turned
around and tumbled them off, but in the
morning they saw that their nest had
only been slightly disturbed. They re-
paired the damage, finished their work,
and moved in that night
For two days they were very happy,
but on the third day man climbed into
the tower to see why the clock had
stopped He found nearly a peck of
straw and grass and cotton that had
been drawn by the wheels into the in
most recesses of the clock, and had
finally so clogged the wheels that they
could move no more. Then he found
the nest that the swallows had made,
and threw il away, and stopped up the
hole in the clock face.
And so it happened that the swallows
had to 90 and build nest under the
caves after all. .-Harper' Y0a1sg People

1.-Two or three things / wish now tO

the teachers in the world can never
make scholar of you, if you do not
apply yourself with all your might.
In the second place. be of good charac-
ter and good behavior boy of strict
truth and honor and conscience in all
things. Have but one rule, and let that
be always to act right and fear nothing
but wrong doing. Finally: Remem-
Der your Creator in the days of your
youth You are old enough to know
that God has made you and given you
a mind and faculties, and will surely
call you to account. Honor and obey
your parents, love your sister and
brother be gentle and kind to all, avoid
peevishness and fretfulness, be patient
under restraint Look forward con
stantly to your approaching manhood,
and put of every day, more and more,
all that is frivolous and childish"

The Secret Of the KeeIy Motor.

Some weeks ago the Keely Motor
Company brought suit against Mr..
Kelley to make him keep his promise
and take out patents.
II was charged by the company, who,
it il said, have put $3.50, 900 into his
scheme, that he agreed TO apply for let
ters patent by July of last year. The
company's S attorneys, il was arranged.
should superintend the preparation of
the necessary papers, and they were TO
tell the secret to no one. When July
came Keely asked until November TO
put the finishing touches to his inyon-
tiOns This was granted, but il result
ed in nothing, and the shareholders
were obliged TO resort TO the law to
force Keely to keep his contract.
Keely's defense was purely technical.
Joshua Pusey, who represented him,
argued that the inventor could not be
made TO expose that which was hidden
in his own brain. If he were directed
to divulge his secret, who could say
whether what he might say would be- q
secret or not? The court could not
make decree, he said, because there
were no reasonable means OF enforc-
ing it.
Nevertheless, after hearing the argu-
ment al length, Judge Pierce, OF the
Court Of Common Pleas, Philadelphia,
overruled Keely' demurrer, and ordered
him to make known his process accord
ing to his contract with the company
The court, no doubt, treated the SUIT
with becoming seriousness, but u -
