An Ancient Clock.
bismarck Tribune.)

There is beautiful clock with an
interesting history in the White house.
1t is an alabaster clock surmounted by a
statuette of the Muse of History, and it
has licked in the White House time out
of mind, for it was present from Bon
aparte to Lafayette, who gave it in turn
to Washington, who decreed that it
should be handed down to his successors
in the presidential office. And so, while
the presidents come and go, the clock
ticks on, and tells it's tale of time to all
inpartially.

HOW 1T rs MARKED
The Strong and Careful way in Which
the Boundary Line Between the
United States and Canada
is Marked.

Most people imagine that the boundary
line between the United States and
Canada is only an imaginary one, and
few are aware that the line is marked by
stone cairns, iron pillars, earth mounds
and timber posts, at intervals of one mile
apart. A stone cairn is 74xS feet: an
iron pillar eight feet high, eight inches
square at the bottom and four at the top;
timber posts,ti feet high and eight
inches square. There are 1872 of these
between the Lake of the Woods and the
base of the Rocky Mountains. That por-
ton { the boundary which lies east and
west of the Red .river valley is marked
by cast iron pillars at seven mile inter-
walls. The British place one every two
miles, and the United States one between
each British post. They are hollow iron
castings three-eighths of an inch in
thickness, in the form of a truncated
pyramid, eight feet high, eight inches
square at the bottom and four inches at
the top. They have at the top a solid
pyramid cap, and at the bottom an
octagonal flange one inch in thickness.
Upon the opposite faces are cast in
letters two inches high the inscription,
Convention of London" and October
20, 1878" The inscriptions begin about
four or six inches from the base and read
upwards. The interiors of the hollow
posts are filled with well-seasoned cedar
posts, sawed to fit, and securely spiked
through spike holes cast in the pillars for
the purpose. The average weight of
each pillar, when completed, is about
eighty-fve pounds. The pillars are all
set four feet in the ground, with their
inscription to the north and south, and
the earth is we'll settled about them. For
the wooden posts, well seasoned logs are
selected, and the portion above ground
painted red to prevent swelling and
shrinking. These posts do not swell, but
as the Indians cut them down for fuel,
nothing but iron will last very long.
Where the line crosses lakes, monuments
of stone have been built, the bases being
in some places eighteen feet under water
and the tops projecting eight feet above
the land surface at highwater mark. In
forests, the line is marked by telling
timber rod wide and clearing the under
brush.

Last Thursday afternoon a woman,
looking from her back window, in the
city of Newburg, saw in the house OPP
posite, little child hanging from a
window-sill, but kept from falling by "A
dog. who had caught the child's dress
in his teeth. The woman had left her
baby, eighteen-months old, on the
floor Of the front room playing with
her toys and little terrier dog that is
its constant companion. The mother
was away just three minutes, but
when she came back and opened the
door her infants head, arms and
shoulders were hanging beyond the
stone sill of an open window. and near
1t, with its feet on chair, stood the
