A NEW ALARM CLOCK.
1t is Warranted to Rouse the Heaviest
sleeper.


= you've seen lots of alarm clocks, of
course" said the matchmaker to o
friend, ''but there is new clock now
on the market that is the most effective
L ever saw. Here it is" he went on,
taking from shelf small round clock
with cylindrical arrangement at the
side. ''You see this cylinder That is
the secret of the clock $ usefulness. The
usual alarm bell is on the top. 1t rings
at the hour it is set for, but many
people get so used to that that they
sleep right through its noise. Some
thing had to be done, so n genius
added this cylinder. The base is filed
with air compressed by pushing down
this small piston-head, which is then
secured by catch. The space left in
the tube is filled with cold water. The
cover is, as you can see, u perforated
tin tube, which is pointed in the
direction needed. AT the proper hour
the alarm bell goes off, the clock-work
releases the piston-head, and the water
in the cylinder is driven out through
the perforations over the head of the
heavy sleeper. He is bound to wake
and there you are. "-Philadelphia

LOVE NOW.

You will love me the day / lie dying,
oh love me then living,
While yet from a full heart replying,
give to your giving.
What gain hath my lifetime of loving,
If you pass it all by
To give me back treble my loving
In the hour die?
All anguish, all maddest adoring,
Will be vain in that day.
Though you knelt to me then with imploring,
, What word could say?
Oh! love me, then. now, that it quicken
My hearts failing breath.
Why wait till to love is to sicken
At the GOODNESS of death?

The Building of African Railroads.


i do not agree with Stanley as to the de-
velopment Of Africa by the building of rail
roads While stationed at the Congo, in COM
mand of the Kearsarge, my former ideas Of
that country were greatly modified, il not en-
tirely revolutionized. l was in that mias-
matte region for over eight months, and the
greatest relief have ever experienced was
when ordered TO other waters. Had the
KearSarge been held there few weeks longer,
doubt very much il We would have had men
enough 20 handle the ship. The country is
inviting only in its tropical appearance, and
one visit TO it is enough for the average
American.
The talk of building railroads, upon which
to transport our products to the interior is, in
the first place, based upon theory which
would not lie considered tenable by the rail
road engineer. There is no place to build
roads without passing through swamps that
would appall anyone undertaking such a pro-
ject, and after the road was completed it
would not pay the interest Of one-tenth Of the
money invested in the material used in con-
struction, not taking into consideration the
vast amount of costly labor incident to pre-
pairing place for the ties to rest upon. After
the road is completed it will find little TO do,
unless the natives in the interior differ greatly
from those with whom | came in contact, for
they are a lazy, worthless, improvident peo-
DIE, with no desire to better their condition,
and perfectly satisfied when their appetites
are satisfied. l cannot believe that the rail-
road development of Africa will be as easy
or practical as of theoretical accomplishment

Speaking of close competition. the his

their commercial curiosity shops the same
day, and each set ahout running out the

needed to supply the wants Of a primitive
community. One of the dealers, IN order to
completely put his competitor 30 rout an
nounced that lie would give free drink Of
whisky with every purchase, and the bust
Ness came pouring i'll.
There hove upon the dealers vision one
afternoon a venerable female, who proceeded
to unroll from her pocket-handkerchief, with
much impreSsiveness, a single hens egg,
which she laid upon the counter
what are YOU givin' for eggs Z said she.
Twenty-Five cents dozen"

said the old woman. What are you gittn
for darnin' needles =
"a cent apiece"
"Three for two cents, suppose. Well take
this ere egg and give me three darnin'
needless
The dealer agreed to the bargain and
passed her over the darning needles.
Now for the drink" said the old woman.
The bottle and tumbler were set out and
the old woman poured liberal portion into
her glass.
Il say, stranger" said she. Il don't like
whisky nohow without an egg in it Break
one in, will you:'
The dealer shrugged his shoulders AMI
broke into the woman's glass the egg that he
had Just traded for. And behold, as he
did so two yolks fell into the whisky.
"Hooray!7 said the old woman, as she
drank off the contents of the glass. ats
double-yolked egg. Now, give me three
more darnin' needles, please, for the extra
yolk!"
The dealer passed out the three extra
needles with sublime resignation. and the old
woman sat around as if she were waiting for
something.
II say, stranger" she said, finally, "you
don't call them three last darnin' needles

The dealer reached for his gun and the
woman disappeared through the door.-Bos
