from the door of the sepulcher, the
guard kneeled down, angels appeared,
and the holy woman stepped into
the tomb and sang the Easter song
of the Russian churches
The Swiss watchmakers have in
vented a watch for the blind A
small peg is set in the middle of each
figure When the hour-hand is NOV
ing toward a given hour the peg for
that hour drops. The person finds
thepegis down and then counts back
to twelve. BY practice he becomes
so expert that he can tell the time
most exactly.
KingGeorge III, of England, had a
watch not larger than a fve-cent
piece which had one hundred and
twenty parts, the whole not weigh
ing as much as a ten-cent piece.
Ina Swiss museum is a watch only
three-sixteenths of an inch in diane
ter, inserted in the top of pencil
case. It's tiny dial not only indicates
hours, minutes and seconds, but also
the day of the month. 1t is relic of
the time when watches were inserted
in shirt-studs, finger-rings, and snuff
boxes. Some of these were in the
shape of a cross, tulip. pearl, while
others were oval, or eight sided, and
a watch has been made that was
about the size of flea.
About one hundred years ago a
man named DrOz made very curl
Gus clock. Upon the top sat negro,
a shepherd and a dog. When the
clock struck, the negro played six
tunes upon a flute, and the dog
moved towards him as though glad
to see him. The shepherd had a bask-
ct containing apples, and if any one
touched one of the apples with his
hand the dog would fly at the hand
and bark
Droz exhibited this clock to the
King of Spain, who took up one of
the apples, when the dog flew at his
hand and barked SO loudly that the
Kings dog, which was in the room,
barked also Christian at Work.

THE ADMISSION OF NEW STA ES

The House having under consider
alton on Friday the admission of
new states Sunset Cox of New
York spoke in favor of the bill. Fol
lowing is an extract from his speech
as given in the Congressional Record:
AS | have said here before, these
territories have the requisite re-
sources and population. They have
all the intelligence and wisdom to
conduct their own business as states.
Now is a fit time, | think-the best
time of all others-to complete the
work which has been begun under
the auspices of my distinguished
friend, the chairman of the commit
tee. | say it is a good time, because
we never saw the United States of
America in such condition as now
to contemplate and master its own
future.
Mr.. Speaker, the country should
congratulate itself, or Congress at
least should, on the fact that we are
permitted to look after our own do
main, interests, and Government
without foreign complication.
The black cloud that hung over
Hayti and over this House has hap
PLY rolled by. Grim-visaged War,
which the other day was impending
with Germany, hath smoothed his
wrinkled front.
NV constituents of TeutOnic origin
can drink their beer and pursue their
thrifty occupations undisturbed by
the chatter of the quadrumanOus ac
tivities of the remote Samoan
Islands We hope that in that re-
mote Pacific group the inhabitants
NAV continue to eat their bread-fruit
in peace, while the monkeys swing
with independent though prehensile
grip to the cocOanut trees that make
Page Pago SO alluring to commerce.
We may also congratulate our
selves that the great fishery question
which bid fair to add new horrors to
the Arctics, remains in restful quiet
ude-cool as the Borean ice.
We are left, therefore, Mr.. Speaker,
to pursue the problems connected
with immigration and the formation
into states of our splendid domain,
which is to be filled by our enterpris-
ing native and adopted citizens.
1t is a matter, however, that has
no felicitation along with it, that
our growing territories have not re-
ccived that welcome invitation to
statehood which their population,
resources, and desires demand. That
they have been bowling with cap in
hand before Congress, or, rather, be
fore our committee on territories, for
several years is 4 matter of regret.
1t is worse 1t is matter of peril.
1t is matter of discomfort and I'M
happiness to them and a peril to pub

THE SUNDA REST BILL.

Petitions containing 100000
names, all wrapped in cloth of tur-
key red color, lie stacked in great
heaps in the committee room of the
senate committee on education and
labor in Washington. They are all
in behalf of the Sunday rest bill
Colonel Elliot F. Shepard has con-
tributed $4,000 for the success of the
movement, some Ohio man has put
in $4,000 more, and altogether the
Sunday rest people have $4,000
worth of the sinews of war
But what is the Sunday rest bill !?
Well, it provides that nobody shall
do any work on Sunday to the an
noyance of others, works of necessi-
ty and mercy and humanity except
ed, and that nobody shall play on
Sunday to the annoyance of others,
anywhere in the United States; that
no mails shall be handled except in
cases of life or death, when the fact
must be stated on the envelope and
the postmaster general must trans
port them separately; that COM
merce shall not be prosecuted nor
military parades, drills or muster
held, and that it shall be unlawful to
pay or receive wages for Sunday la
Dor as excluded in the above prOvi-
SiOnS.
Rev Wilbur F. Crafts, the forefront
of the Sunday rest movement, gave
the main evidence before Senator
Blair committee. He brought out
that about 700 of Postmaster
Pearson's employees work during
part of each Sunday; that Postmas-
ter Drake of Philadelphia uses all but
fifty-two of his 995 subordinates,
and Postmaster Judd of Chicago all
but fifteen per cent of his on Sunday;
and that all but fourteen of Post
master Riley's 300 employees in Gin
cinnati, and all but twelve of Post
master Hyde'S in st. Louis do similar
service. The postmaster general
quite agreed with him that no post
master in the country should be per
mitted to run the post office of the
United States in opposition to the
churches. POstmaster-genera Jew
ell had the honor or dishonor to or
der a Sunday delivery by carriers in
New York, and when a Sabbath as
ISOLATION of Philadelphia protested
to acknowledgement Villas against
a similar order he only replied ::
What | have done have done
Mr. Crafts found that ofthe 2,OOO,-
900 persons who work on Sunday
100, 900 are in the mail service, 81
900 in the military, 100000 in the
liquor business, 5OO,OO i'll the rail
road and Sunday paper business,
and the remaining 100000 are shop
keepers and their clerks.
The Sunday rest bill is petitioned
for by 100000 Protestants (mem-
bers of the Methodist, Baptist, Pres
byterian and Reformed Dutch
churches, all of whom have appoint
ed members of the American Sabbath
Union and by 100000 Catholics,
who are represented by a letter from
Cardinal Gibbons, in which he SAYS:
Il am most happy to add my name
to those of the millions of others who
are laudably contending against the
violation of the Christian Sabbath
by unnecessary labor"
