Big Men.

Don't think that because a man happens to
be big and brawny and healthy he has no
feelings. Such men are sometimes regarded
as If made of door hinges and leviathan hide,
and sash cords for nerves. 1t may be mis-
take. There are men whose spiritual and
physical make up is after this fashion, and
some of them are big men. But the big
men are not all so. There are some who
are as tender as girls-as sensitive as the
mimosa, and as quick to receive an impression
as the down covered skin of a ripe peach. 1t
is worth while to be gentle with such men.
Kindness is not thrown away on them They
may be growing old, but as they advance
they retain much of the boyish feeling they
had when they weighed fewer pounds than
they do now. If they are not trodden upon
they may make happy old men when they
are little further on in years. But it Is
easy to sour them and crush them and make
them disagreeable. Don't do it. Few people
ever think of big man as one who has any
feelings worth considering, and yet many
are as tender hearted as babes.-W oman 8

This peerless clock was built in 1852 Two
centuries later repairs We're undertaken and
IL was completed in 1873, and for 800 years has
continued to excite wonder by reason of its
complex structure. 1t comprises a church
calendar, the ordinary calendar, the movable
feasts, planetary upon the Copernican sys-
tenn, which represents the mean tropical rev.
olution Of each one of the planets visible TO
the naked eye, the phases of the moon, ap-
parent and sidereal time, a celestial sphere,
which marks the procession of the equinoxes,
solar and lunar equations for the reduction
of the mean movements of the sun and moon
at fixed times and places.
The hours and minutes, the days of the
week, with corresponding signs of the plan
cts, are marked both outside and in. An in
ner dial not less than nine meters in circum-
ference gives the day Of the month, the dom
inical letter and the saint or saints of the day.
Two winged figures are seated Mt either side
Of the small dial. AT each quarter the right
hand figure strikes upon bell, which is in
stantly repeated upon each of the other dials
by figures from above, representing the four
ages-lnfancy strikes the first quarter, Youth
the second, Manhood the third and Old Age
the last Death, placed upon pedestal be-
side Old Age, strikes the hour; and at the end
of each hour the second winged figure turns
an hour glass, whose contents are exhausted
in that space Of time
As noon strikes procession of the twelve
apostles appears, and each inclines in turn
and after his own peculiar manner before a
figure of Christ, which, placed on pedestal,
extends its hands above them as If in bene-
diction. At the same time the cock perched
on the left tower stretches his wings and
crows three times. Cars containing little fig
ures emerge alternately from mass of clouds
above the hour dial to indicate the DAYS of
the week, which are ingeniously represented

Ereedinr English Pheasants.

The experiment of propagating English
pheasants in this country is proving sue
cess, and it has been shown that the birds will
do well in districts where they can be prop
erly protected The Jekyl Island club, owing
to the situation of its grounds on an island,
reports n wonderful increase in its pheasants
Seventy birds were originally brought
over from England From these birds eggs
were obtained. They were placed under COM
mon barnyard hens to be Matched out, and u
thousand young were obtained. When large
enough they were turned loose and grew
rapidly. One hundred more pheasant hens
are to be brought over from England 1t is
believed that in short time the club will
have good pheasant shooting.
Further north trouble has been found in
raising the birds, both from the severity of
the climate and from outside hunters Re-
peated trials, however, are bound to win, and
with stricter game laws there is no reason
why the bird should not thrive. In the south
the climate is just right for them. For food
acorns seem to hit their taste, and they fatten
rapidly upon the nut.-New York Times.

II have seen many narrow escapes from

Queen AIMS county. Mr.. Tilghman was a
brave and intrepid officer in Gen. j. E. B.
Stuart's command, and is now a prominent
member of the Maryland Confederate soci-
cites. Because of his reckless daring and
chivalrous dash he was dubbed "Headlong
Jim Tilghman" during the war and the name
has chung to him ever since "One of the
most laughable incidents l ever witnessed
while under fire." he continued, was the
conduct of a long, lank North Carolinian at
the Wilderness. His leg had been shot off
early In the war and he was supplied with a
wooden one, with which, strange to say, he
got about with remarkable facility One day
