HIS VoTE.-There died a few weeks
ace in Toronto an old man known as
Uncle Reubc, who for thirty years had
sold his vote at every election for 50,
the average market price. Ten or twelve
wears ago, as election day approached,
he went to the man who usually bought
him and said "NIr. Blank, l guess l
won't sell my vote this time" "You
won't; why, what on earth ails you,
Uncle Reube ?" "Well, | want to see
how it feels to cast free ballot once. "
But he was greatly disappointed in the
sensation, and at the next election, i'll
sisted on having 81 to cover arrears.

HIS Own WATCH. IA Waterman in
one of the Nevada mines, having no
watch borrowed one for night, and on
returning it next day said he had made
a time keeper of his own. He unrolled
a strip of paper, on which he had marked,
as they arose above the horizon, all the
fixed stars within a narrow belt, and Op-
posite to each was the time of its appear
ing. The slip was run on two small roll
Iers in a box with Il sliding lid of glass.
As the night wears away and the stars
pass over he can turn a crank of his
watch and look at the time marked.
