the matter long and earnestly Lefore
destroying such a marvel, until they
saw the French soldiers in the automat-
zeal fight on the clocks platform over
come by the German troops, after
which they willingly ruined both clock
and hall.
Early in the present century a Lon
don clockmaker of great wealth caused
marvellous piece of clock work to be
contructed and given as present to the
Emperor of China. The body of the
clock was chariot, to which was at
tached, in imitation of Cupid's outfit,
two tiny doves. Behind figure of Mer-
curry seemed to be aiding the dove
horsSs IN the task of pulling the lady,
the umbrella and humming bird, which
went to finish up the curiously designed
affair. The lady stood in the front of
the chariot, covered with the umbrella,
which rested on two tiny columns of
gold, holding in one hand the face of
the clock, and two ribbons attached to
the heads of her birds with the other,
The humming bird, which swung be-
meath the clock face, acted as a pendu-
lum and continually moved from right
TO LETT IN seeming perpetual ecstacy.
The umbrella above, although to all ap-
pearances not at all connected with the
clock-work, was in reality the bell which
the hour, half hour and quarter hour
hammer struck upon. The birds in
front were fixed upon spiral springs
which kept them moving all the while,
conveying sort ofjerking motion to the
lady's hand which held the ribbon,
which, in turn, seemed to be impaired
to the humming-bird pendulum below.
Mercury opened his mouth and rolled
his eyes at the end of each hour, the
birds futtered with renewed activity,

CONCERNING cRoMNs.
The Emblems of Royalty Worn by Kings
and Queens.

and Queens.
Many years ago it was the correct
thing for monarch to wear the
identical crown worn by his predeces-
sors. A king never was formally
crowned on the day when he succeeded
to the throne, but the ceremony was
always postponed for week or two in
order to have the crown thoroughly
renovated. In the days when the French
had kings the monarch was so liable to
be upset by revolution that he was
unwilling to delay the ceremony of cor
onation, and it often happened that a
new French king would send out the
prime minister with the crown within
twenty minutes after the previous kings
decease with orders to have it blocked
for two and one-half francs while he
waited. But there is no doubt that the
custom of handing down the same crown
from generation to generation had its
disadvantages.
In the first place, it rarely happens
that two kings have heads of precisely
the same size, and as rule the crown
which fitted the original king for whom
it was made never fitted any of his sue
eessors, but was always either too large
or too small. Nothing looks more abb
surd than very small crown cooked on
the head of very large king, except,
perhaps, crown which is much too
large for the wearer and continually
falls over his ears. There was, it is true,
a certain reverence for antiquity and in
herited rights shown by this custom of
wearing an ancient ancestral crown, but
it need not he supposed that any mon
arch really liked it.
No matter how carefully king might
have his fathers crown secured and re-
paired he always felt that he was wear
ing another mans clothes, so to speak.
As for Queen Victoria, it is well known
that she ordered an entire set OF new
crowns when she came to the throne, re-
marking as she gave the order, that she
had as much affection for some of her
relatives as any body need have, but as
for wearing any thing that had been on
the 'ead of that 'orrid King William she
would go to her grave bareheaded fFsk

The countless minor offices Of the

Their control of public Office is monop-

classes-they are unified and organized.
They make the management Of pri-

DIED WORTH MILLIONS.
An Octogenarfan French Miser and II
Hoard of Wealth.

An Octogenartan French Miser and His
Hoard of Wealth.
A rather remarkable miser named
Durand has just departed this life in the
town of Rodez, France, writes an occa-
sional correspondent He was eighty
six years old, and, according to the
French estimate of fortune, he was a
triple millionaire, his magot being worth
in cash and paper 5000, 600 francs Du-
rand used to go about the town like a
mendicant-so much so that people often
offered him aims, but were grinned at
for their proffered generosity. He was
known to have had but one tailor-made
suit OF clothes during his long years of
residence in Rodez, but on the days
when he went to draw his dividends at
the local banks he generally donned a
garment intended to be ceremonious,
which seemed to be compromise be-
tween a blouse and a sack. The miser
lived alone in big house, the doors of
which were doubly locked, and occupied
himself with mending his clothes and
boots, cooking, washing his linen and
counting up his money-this last task
being his daily delight and principal
pastime. Durand has left his house and
the bulk of his bullion to female fish
monger-the widow of Noverand-who
sometimes visited him. There are two
other legaUies-one to the Bishop of
Rodez, and the other to the Lady Su
perior of convent in the town. To his
own relatives, some of whom are in

A Word About Idle wishes.

Idle wishes are those which begin and
end with themselves. They lead to no
effort, they develop no energy, they in
augurate no plan of action. 1t would
probably astonish most of US could we
realize truly how many of our wishes
were of this character. Sometimes they
relate to a past which is irrevocable.
Men wish that they had inherited prop
erty, or a healthier constitution, or bet
ter tendencies - that they had been
brought up under better auspices, or
trained with more care or wisdom-that
they had made different decisions, or
pursued different courses, or been led
by different advisers. Such wishes,
while they naturally glance upon us as
unavoidable regrets, should be but the
passing guests of a moment Save as
they may suggest improvements for our
future, they are useless and exhausting.

The First Sewing Machine.

| Elias Howe, the inventor of the sew
ing machine, was born in Spencer, Mass,
| July 9, 1919. His father was a farmer
| and miller, and Elias remained at home,
assisting him, till 1885, when he went
to Lowell and found employment in a
factory, afterward working in machine
shop at Boston. There he developed
his idea of the sewing machine. His
first machine was completed in MAY,
1S45, and he secured his patent Septem-
Der 10, 1876. He made four machines,
but received so little encouragement for
them that he went to England, where
he struggled with poverty for two years.
He then returned to America, to find
that others had appropriated his idea.
For more than five years he was con-
stantly engaged in lawsuits, but finally
secured his right to priority of inven-
tion, and other manufacturers of sewing
machines paid him royalty on their
patent. He now amassed a large for
tune, estimated a $4,000 from the
sale of his machines. He died in Brook
