A Remarkable Clock.

Japan possesses remarkable time
piece. 1t is contained in a frame
three feet wide and five feet long,
representing monday landscape of
great beauty. In the foreground
plum and cherry trees and rice plants
appear in full bloom; in the rear is
seen a hill, gradual in ascent, from
which apparently flows a cascade,
admirably initiated in crystal. From
this point tnreadlike stream mean
ders, encircling rocks and islands in
its windings, and finally losing itself
in far off stretch of woodland. In a
miniature sky golden sun turns on
a silver wire, striking the hours on
silver gongs as 1t passes. Each hour
is marked on the frame by a creep
ing tortoise, which serves the place
OF hand. A bird of exquisite plum
age MARBLES at the close of each hour,
and as the song ceases mouse sal
lies forth from neighboring grotto
and scampeling over the hill to the
garden is soon lost to view-Iron.

The Use of the Knout in Russia.

"Forty stripes the judge may give the
culprit and not exceed says Deuter-
onomy; and st. Paul says, "Of the Jews
five times received l forty stripes save
one." In those olden times, before the
religion of love and mercy had dawned
upon the world, the law of Moses de-
creed that forty was the greatest num-
ber of stripes that should ever be per-
missible under any circumstances and
for the worst crimes. But in Christian
Russia they are not bound by any such
law, and nothing is there to prevent the
british cruelty of the authorities of that
country to scourge man to death. And
the worst feature of the proceeding is
that the cruelty is treated by the upper
classes, and more particularly by the
women, as pastime which it would be
great loss to forego.
A soldier on duty at the powder maga-
zine of the fortress of Kallish, in west
ern Russia, had fallen asleep and was
sentenced to receive 200 strokes with the
knout. The place and the time of the
punishment was fixed, and the officers
wives and daughters of the garrison
were invited to witness the spectacle,
and they did not fail to be present in
full numbers. At the fiftieth stroke the
poor victim commenced groaning pite-
ously, but soon ceased, and before half
the number of strokes was given the
body lay motionless-stiff, as if dead.
A soldier who poured water over the
victims face was reprimanded by the
executioner. The body was then taken
to the hospital The poor fellow leaves

One of the brightest physicians of
Portland and one of the ablest theo-
logians of Bath were in the physio-
logical room at Bowdoin Medical
school not long ago examining, in
company with others, microscopic
slides, slowing certain peculiar glands
of the intestines. The physician at
once launched out into a brilliant dis
cussion of the glands and their rela-
ton to various diseases.
The theologian grew tired after a
time, and finally said "You doctors
know so much about the uncertain
ties of this world that l should think
you would not want to live" You
theologians, came the quick reply,
tell us so much about the certainties
of the next that we don't want to
die. Lewiston journal.

DR.. j. II. Musser, of Lampeter, told a
remarkable story to number of the
members of the Lancaster County Medi-
cal society at the annual dinner on
Thursday. 1t was nothing more nor
less than the assertion that Mr. John
Eshleman, the well known miller of
West Lampeter township, has rooster
that lays eggs. When il first became
suspected that this rooster was usurp-
ing the rights which We're previously
supposed to belong exclusively to the
hens--in other words. when il became
suspected that he was laying oggs-he
was penned mp and watched, No one
had access to him but the family, and
consequently no trick could be played
upon them. He has thus far laid twenty
seven eggs, nine of them in three days.

The Death Rattle.

A correspondent tells this interest
ing snake story: "A few days ago ]
sent two boys to the spring after wa
ter, and in a moment one of them
came running back in great fright,
saying that he saw a stinging rattle
snake with rattlers on his head and
horn on his tail, and one-half of the
snake was black and the other half
spotted. went with them to see
the monster, and when we got there
a black snake about five feet long
was swallowing a rattlesnake about
2 1-2 feet long. The rattler was rat
ting with all his might, while his
colored brother was swallowing with
all his power. We left them, and
went back in about an hour and both
were dead. Great Divide.

Fl. G. Ketchum, engineer of the
Chignecto ship railway, is credited as
the author of a scheme by which
vessels drawing upward of twenty
feet of water can be pushed through
the present st. Lawrence canals from
Port Arthur to Quebec, and through
the 500 canal now being excavated,
without deepening the canals or en-
larging the locks, thus obviating the
expenditure of millions of dollars
upon canal deepening
Mr.. Ketchum proposes that large
vessels be placed upon steel RATS or
pontoons, and thus foated through
the canals and over river shadows,
the vessels to be placed upon the pom
toons by means of hydraulic lifts
established at the entrance of each
canal. He says $500, 900 would pro-
vide pontoons and lifts for all the ex-
isting canals; but these lifts could be
used as craving docks; but little time
would be lost in placing the vessels
upon the floats, and the plan has been
successful elsewhere. New York

HosplfALiY AMONG wooosMeN.
where the Stranger IL TAX. n aud
Made to Feel at Bcns-

l
whore the stranger Is Tsk. aud
Made to Teel at Bc-ne.
Among the genuine woodsmen in
eastern America great hospitality to
strangers is the most distinguishing
trait. BY woodsmen is meant those
who make their living by chopping
and hauling logs, and who live all
winter in log camps, half buried up
in the SHOWS of vigorous northern
climate, far away from the outer
world. Among these people there is
no law against tramps. The solitary
hunter or the lonely traveller whom
night has overtaken in his journey
always receives cordial welcome,
not from one, but from all of the
crew.
As soon as the strangers head is
inside of the low door by which the
hut is entered, the cook calls out to
him to walk in, for it is this frlnc-
tionary who does the honors of the
camp. He is then invited to take a
place on the deacon seat" that he
may be better able to warm his feet
before the fire. The question is then
put, "Have you had your supper"
and the wanderer is asked to step up
and have bite; even if he has al
ready supped he will be almost forced
to take piece of sweet cake and to
drink cup of tea.
The teakettle always sits beside the
fire, and on the strangers arrival the
cook gives this "a good boil, !" for
woodsmen want their tea boiled.
Some fat pork is cut and put into the
pan and is soon simlnering over
checry fire. While the stranger is
taking off his moccasins and putting
on dry pair of socks, with which
the cook is always ready to furnish
him, the cook is plying him with
questions as to what is going on out
in the settlement.
So soon as the "boss" or owner of
the camp and crew come in at night,
their days work over, the stranger
is cordially greeted by all; in fact he
becomes one of themselves and is
expected to walk up to the bean pot
or the frying pan and to help himself
to anything that suits his palate
without asking anybody. He not
only becomes as one of the crew, but
the best place in the berth is reserved
for him, some one turning out of it
and sleeping on the deacon seat
(the hewn plank on which the crew
sit when eating their meals). Some
times the deacon seat is preferable
to the berth.
Many years since, late one stormy
winter night, I arrived at Mr.. w.
Richards logging camp at the "Otter
Slide" on the Nashwalln river, New
Brunswick. The crew had retired.
When / entered the camp Mr.. r.
raised his head from the fir boughs
on which he was lying and said to
me, Come, take this place" l
caught at the moment a glimpse of a
bed of snow beneath the green
boughs. mo, thank you, 1 prefer
the deacon seat" On this 1 gladly
stretched my weary limbs with my
boots for pillow and coat thrown
over my shoulders for covering; and
yet, after all, my sleep was sounder
and more refreshing than that of one
amid all the luxrlries of the town.

ocratic convention only reached q nomina-
ton OH the 372d ballot
June 81, 1890, w. w. Dickerson was elect
ed to the vacancy left by Mr.. Carlisle, and
the next November he was elected to the
full term in the Fifty second congress.
When it was announced that he was not in
1t for reelection n struggle began for the
succession. nearly every one of the eight
counties having its favorite son. The third
day of the convention opened with but four
candidates, and there was such a rapid
changing of votes before the counting was
announced that decision seemed ms far off
as ever.
When the delegates from Boone county
asked leave to withdraw for consultation.
one of them, John Lassng, shouted that
they would like to see "the committee on
stulf," which raised laugh of course.
The 3I1st ballot resulted in tie-36E for
Hallam, 3615 for Mccain. Then the con-
vention took freak-one of those pecu-
liar stampedes to which such bodies are
hable-the remarkable result being that
both the preceding favorites were left out
and the ballot resulted-for Berry, 40; for
Baker, 81. Then came the general love
feast and everybody's pledge to vote the
ticket
Hon. A. S. Berry, of Newport, the nom
lnee, has made several attempts to 20 to
congress, but Mr.. Carlisle's popularity was,
too much for him. He was also a candi-
date against Governor Buckner when the
lattor get the nomination. Colonel Berry
has always been prominent in the politics
of his district, and Mt the present time is
the mayor of Newport. He is over six feet
tall, and is a handsome man noted for
considerable ability, who will probably
make his mark in congress, his nomination
being equivalent to election. He is man
of great means, and made much of his
money in the Newport and Cincinnati ferry
