Grandf.thsr's Clock.


That the best power for a clock is
weight is beyond dispute. The inyen-
ton of the coil spring came near ami
hilating the race Of good common clocks.
''Grandfather's clock, with its wooden
wheels and other crudlties, is still the
superior of the grandson's clock as a
timekeeper, for "grandfathers clock
had the great advantage of a uniform
power sufficient and Just sufficient to pro-
pei the clock when it was properly
cleaned and oiled. The grandson's clock
has cooled spring as motive power,
having, when it is tightly wound, not
less than three times the amount OF
power required to drive the clock, and
diminishing in amount, thereby altering
the rate of the clock with each success
siye hour. The grandson's clock will
march on, oiled or unoiled land there
fore usually unoiled). until it comes to
a premature end as complete as that of
the ''one-hoSs shay"
The ''grandfather's clock" on the
other hand, which declined to go unless
its rations of oil were doled out to it
once in year or less by the peripatetic
ticker, is good for another century,
since its bearings have been saved from
cutting themselves away from lack of
oil. The kitchen clock to-day can only
be made to keep respectable time by so
regulating it that the gain it makes
when tightly wound shall be offset by
the loss as it runs down.

Timber Fats of the Rhine.


The timber RATS of the Rhine are a
noticeable characteristic of that river.
They consist of timber felled in the
mountain forests and brought down to
the Rhine by the Neckar, Main, Mosene,
and other rivers. The single logs are
first hurled down from the heights into
the mountain torrent, then a few are
tied together, and as they float down
the streamlet grow like SNOWFALL, till
in the Rhine itself they are made into
huge floating fabrics, which are care
fully navigated to Dorhecht and sold.
A raft has often eight or ten small
houses on it, and from 400 to 500 work
men, rowers and pilots. The vast pile
is steered by means of immense oars,
and is so cons tructed as to twist like a
huge snake in the narrow channels.
The sale of single raft at the end Of
the voyage often realizes about $780,

That Secret Bond.
National Review.

Mr.. Hllsman failed to give his bond
in time To have it approved, so he
could become the collector by July l.,
the end of the fiscal year. And even
now there are mutterings in the air
about an alleged trade which the
Fourth National Bunk folks are said To
have entered into with Mr.. Hillsman.
Making his bond was their part of The
contract. The placing of government
deposits in the region round about the
bank aforesaid, is supposed to be the
duties which Mr.. Hilslman has obliga-
ted himself to perform. The Review
understands that the bank which made
the bond has already made application
TO be designated as the Government
depository. If such an agreement Was
really made between the bank and MIR.

well, it isn't criniinally wrong, after

Newspaper Laws.


We have often been asked what are
the laws of the Postal authorities with
regard TO newspapers. We copy from
an exchange what seems to be care
fully prepared list OF them. It is as
follows:
l. A postmaster is required to give
notice By letter returning a paper does
not answer the law when subscriber
does not take his paper out of the Of
flee, and state the reason for its not be-
ing taken. Any neglect TO do so makes
the postmaster responsible to the pub
fishers for payment.
2. Any person who takes paper
from the postoffice, whether directed
to his name or another, or whether he
has subscribed or not, is responsible
for the pay.
3. If person orders his paper dis
continued he must pay all arrearages,
or the publisher may continue to send
1t until payment is made and collect
The whole amount, aohethev IL be taken
from the office or not. There can be no le-
gal discontinuance until payment is
made. ~ 49,
4. Ii the subscriber orders his paper
TO be stopped at a certain time, and
the publisher continues To send, the
subscriber is bound to pay for 1t, ;fhe
take 1t ont Of the poste6ice. The law pro
ceeds upon the ground that IL man
pay for what he uses.
S. The courts have decided that re-
fusing to take newspaper and peri
odieals from the postotiice. or remoy-
ing and leaving them uncalled for, is
priRsa .fdcie evidence OF intentional
fraud.
