a COOKING CLOCK.

jewellers Weekly.
The latest achievement IN port
able double action furniture is the
cooking clock. now on exhibition
here.
It's made of white wood, stained
cherry, and is constructed after
the style OF the old-fasmoned
grand fathers clock. Here the re-
semblance ceases, however, for be-
fore one is through inspecting its
multilorn surprises one wonders
whether some bright little automa-
tom will not spring out Of a CON
cealed drawer or secret receptacle
AID offer you a diamond ring and
a chrome.
In the frs. place the lower part
of this mighty engine Of domestic
economy contains a gasoline
stove which, when in use, Is pulled
nul like a drawer from lis resting
place. Below the stove is a recep-
tacle for kilchenware, while above
il is china closet containing four
shelves. Above all this is perched
a calendar clock, back of which is
attached a gasoline vapor tank,
which is connected with The stove
by a pipe concealed behind the
case.
You might suppose that this col
lection of fconvenIences would have
lis eBterprising.inventor-
but no. To The left and fitted Sc
curely 10 one side of the case, is an
argand burner, supplied with gas
generated by the gasoline vapOr
tank above mentioned. When
is in progress the wood
work ot the stove clock is projected
by a sheet Of asbestos paper which
is placed back Of the stove. When
the stove, china closet, etc, are
pushed back into the case, the
front of which is decorated with
mirror.
Besides this multiplicity Of useful
combinations the ingenious inven-
tor has found room within the
case for a writing desk and
a drawer for writing materials.
What more IN the way Of con-
densed comfort can one ask for in
an article of furniture With one

The Cow DESCRIBED-A little girl
writes for the Hartford Times an
essay descriptive of the COW. Here
il is in full:
The COW is an animal with four
legson the under side. The tail is
longer than than the legs, but is
not used 10 stand on. The cow
kills flies with her tail The COW
has blg ears that wiggles on hinges;

ger than The calf, but mol so big as
an elephant. She is made so small
that she can 90 into the barn
when no one is looking, Some
cows are black aud some hook. A
dog was hooked once. She tossed

Milkmen sell milk To buy their lit
tie girls dresses, which they put

euds. aud each finds It's own chew.
That's all there is about cows.

"Every Democrat Should Vote"

The election is near at hand, and
our people should begin active
preparations for it. This Congress
sional District is vitallvInterested,
IN both the National and Congress
sional contests, and the way TO Sc
cure success beyond peradventure
is 10 turn ont. work and vote. Ev-
cry legitimate influence should be
brought 10 bear TO win a decisive
victory and these Influences are
used and proper efforts made, there
will be no after claps or contests, TO
annoy our people and jeopardize
their material interests.
The following editorial from the
Birmingham (Ala.) Herald is
worthy Of thoughtful consideration
by the Democrats of this Dis
trict:
The Atlanta Journal urges the
Democrats TO "wake up,' and ar
CUES that lull party vote should
be polled in all OF the Southern
States in tae Presidential cleo
Ton.
The Journal is correct. Because
Of the apathy the Southern vote
has been remarkably light in all
elections for some years past. and
the Republicans at the North are
beginning 10 use the return figures
TO the South's disadvantage. They
argle that il indicates fraud and a
suppression of the negro vote, and
demand a reduction OF Southern
congressional representation to
comport with The number Of
voiers rs shown by The returns.
To avoid this there should be a
very Iulliurniug out Of Democrat
ic voters in al the Southern Siaies
IN November. Every Democrat
should vote the same as II The
election of Cleyeland depended
on H..
Another thing 10 be considered
is that every Democratic vote cast

man and that will have fne
moral effect on iuiure elections.

"When she growed up and got
married she was just the same,
and when John, her old man,
would be a little late in getting
home at night he'd find her shut
up tight in the house, with The
doors all locked and every table
and old bench and chairs piled up
srgin them, and when John would
knock at the door and tell her who
il was he'd have TO stand and wait
till she moved those things away
before he could open the door and
then he'd scold her for being such
a Ounce, but she'd just laugh and
say:
"You kuowcd | was 'skeery'

"The name Of "Skeery Lucy
clung to her for a long time, aud l
guess she deserved it, for she'd
squeal at a lizard or Il frog, aud
take fits, s,almost, if she seed snake,
but when old Sherman came down

quit calling her 'Slleery Lucy after

ever, The big guns could be heard
