Old Clocks.
From Notes and Queries.

From Notes and Queries
The old brass clocks went only thirty hours,
and were set in motion by weight attached to
a chain which passed over sheave having
spikes in the groove which caught in the links
of the chain and required to be drawn up every
day. There was acounterpoise at the other end
of the chain. and sometimes single weight was
contrived to serve both the going and the strik-
ing parts, and there was occasionally an alarm
On the Introduction of the long pendulum clocks
seemed to have assumed different character
Catgut was substituted for the chain. and bar
rels were introduced on which the catgut was
wound up, and, greater length of line being
employed, clocks were made to go for eight
days instead of thirty hours, and chime of
bells playing every quarter OF an hour was
often added; the weights and long pendulum
hung down, and, as there was danger of their
action being interfered with, tail wooden cases
were made to protect them. on the top of which
the movement was placed. This was believe.

of Chimes about 1890. and it is an admirable

pillar clocks" seem to have gone out of use
about this time, and probably few were made at
the end of the seventeenth century. With re-
gard to the name of the brass clocks. 1 have
heard them called very many years ago "buttOn

the name cannot tell, unless 1t is derived from

How Harvard Graduates Are to be
Kept in Check.
From the Boston Advertiser

From the Boston Advertiser.
Harvard commencement day this year will be
remarkable for two reasons. First. because the
governor of the commonwealth if present, will
not receive an honorary degree, and again as
being the first commencement on which the COL
lege authorities have taken pronounced ground
against disOrderly conduct in the yard. On
every commencement day within the recollec-
tion of the present generation of Cambridge men,
the dormitOry rooms In HOlwOrthy, Hollis, and
StOughtOn, facing on the college yard, have
been relinquished by their tenants for the
use of various past classes From the window
seats have been hung large printed cards bear
ing such card numbers as II. 80 and 81. In
these headquarters the members of past classes
who come to Cambridge to celebrate the day
find an abundance of cooling retreshment. The
grade Of graduates having the most spare time
for commencement festivities is apt to be that
Of those who most keenly appreciate the merits
Of such refreshments, and their appreciation
generally shows itself most strongly In the
amount consumed. By four or five o'clock they
make the college yard an unit thoroughfare for
ladies, and when evening comes the climax is
capped by bOnfires. fireworks. and q scene OF
noise and confusion which is only intensified by
the futile efforts Of the college authorities to
maintain order.
Few persons venture to defend this custom OF
other days. Undergraduates are always the
ones most astOnished and Disguised by 1t. The
graduating class, though ready with recruits fol
the frolicking in the evening, is generally free
from blame for the drunkenness during the
afternoon. Public opinion has long demanded
an absolute suppression of the practices The
university has OutgrOwn Its childish pranks, and
the authorities and students are determined to
make commencement day as free from them az
they have made the rest Of the academic year
In order to reach graduates, all degrees arc
hereafter to be conditioned on right Ofthe cor
pOratiOn to revoke them for riotous conduct ir

Women ~ q Fire.
From the Aroostook Republican.

At the recent fire in Fort Fairfield. Me-, the
heroic work Of the women deserves more than
the mere notice that We are obliged at this writ
ing to give. No sooner had the alarm Of fire
been given than women and girls rushed to the
rescue Of those who needed them most. They
took care Of helpless. children, removed the sick,
then carefully removed the household goods,
watched and protected them from those who
came to pilfer, and then when the great contest
came, the last hope Of saving anything above
the post office, they took their stand, formed
lines to the river, passing buckets and pals all
along the line. They even went up on the lad
ders and fought with almost superhuman
strength, while many stout, able-bOdied men
stood by and looked on complacently One
young lady, who was nearly exhausted, asked
one Of these burly fellows to take her place and
relieve her q moment, but he coolly replied:
''YOu are doing well; keep on" Several Of the
girls faced the flames when their clothes caught
FIRE. One had her hat burned of, and one bad
Der hair burned considerably.
