Keeping Correct Time.

A simple method OF keeping correct
time where access to standard time is in
convenient is thus explained by the Loco
motive: Select two fixed points for a
range of observation. If a westerly win
dow can be chosen which faces any
building anywhere more than twenty five
to thirty feet distant, we have as good u
post of observation as we can desire.
Drive q nail, or stick a pin into the win
dow jamb; or, if anything more substan-
tial is wanted, fix thin piece of metal
with Il very small hole III it to sight
through, in any convenient place so that
YOU can observe the time any star sets or
sinks below the roof of the adjacent
building, or whatever may be chosen as
the more remote sight. Then choose
some well defined star, the brighter the
better, and with your time-piece set
right Ito start With observe the time it
passes the range of your sights. The ex-
act time, as well also as the date of the
observation should be recorded, then to
find out at any subse quent time how much
your watch has varied from correct
time, observe the same star, and recoI-
Iect that it sets Just minutes and
So 90944 seconds earlier on any given
night than it did the preceding night
j
taken some night when the star set at 9
hours, 10 minutes and % seconds, and at
our second observation taken just one
week later, it set at hours, AZ minutes
and 81 seconds, we would know that our
watch had kept correct time. If il had set
at s hours, 40 minutes, and 81 seconds
we would know that our watch or clock
had lost minutes during the week And
similarly for any other variation If the
time at which il had set had been
S hours, 50 minutes and 80 seconds, we
should see that our watch had gained two
minutes and so on. II the location of
our sights admit of il we Should select n
star ninety degrees, as nearly as posi-

Chasing the rosy hours with flying feet
Is most charming pastime, but the bright
pursuers know that the I4enten days are
near an hand when pleasures gives pause
and rest gives back the beauty and fresh

ready the modistes of the fashionab.es are
preparing severe toilettes that speak of
penitentia, and soon demure maidens
with down-cast eyes will walk the stree :
clad in the most ecclesiastical look

maiden, standing with reluctant

charms.
To one fair dreamer time lags, as to
her there comes a day for which all other

forty days viii give time for rousseau

weddings? Her dreams of daiutiness are
fully met by lovely creations of under

fashiouing these garments there is little

There is a returning fancy for hand made
underwear, and many of the most eX-

These garments are made in a variety
of shapes; the Marie, Antoinette' chemise

There are few men who. while enjoying a vaca
ton. can resist the temptation quietly TO step on
the scales occasionally to ascertain how much they
have gaincd7 Indeed, if a man doesn't consult
a weighing machine two three times n day at
such time lie is showing considerable self
restraint The moment man discovers, or thinks
he discovers, that he has gained pound or so in
weight, he gives himself up helplcsSy TO. the
weighing habit, and after that he can usually be
found standing on the platform of pair of scales
watching himself gain.
The usual course pursued by man on ms vaca-
ton is something like this: The first day he VIZ CHS
himself and is surprised at his extreme hghtness.
Whereupon he resolves on long list of reforms
He quits smoking, or limits himself to enc cigar
after dinner goes TO bed at o'clock, becomes d,
stranger TO beer, takes long morning walks, buys
70 pair Of dunibbeils, AID complains that tea and
coffee don't agree with him. Then he begins n
systematic course of weighing. If lac begins 10

he went away.
There ought TO be some way to remedy this.
Obviously lie reason the first man sticks TO his
cood resolutions and increases his weight is be-
czuse the gain began Immediately and encoura ged
him. Nlthng succeeds like success. But we
learn rom the life of the late Colonel Sellers
that success is not so much TO be sought after
ne tle appearance OF success 1t seems as if q
weyhing machine might be constructed which
w.uld make a man believe he was gaining whether

70 weigh themselves when they arrive and again
when they depart-the only difference Delng that
in the latter case he has small boy in the base
ment pulling on a string attached to the platform

What is wanted is a weighing machine with
hidden clock.worl which each day will cause any
thing placed on the platform to weigh one pound
more than it did the day before. American in.
yentive genius is equal to such machine. 1t
ought to be comparatively easy for the man who
