A PHILADELPHIA milk dealer has con-
trived an ingenious plan to hurry
things in the morning in order to get
out early to serve his customers. To feed
his horses while he lies in bed, he has
placed an alarm clock in the stable,
which he sets to go off at o'clock.
The clock is fixed SO that it releases a
pin, and opens the door of little box
which contains sufficient feed for the
horse. The feed runs into the trough
and by the time the millman is ready
to start the animal has had his blpak-
fast and is in good shape for his fore
moons work.

COUNTRY JOURNALISM.


Some Of the Tt ais ami Trlbulations Of
The Oae-H ,rsa Edi or.
The labOrs of the editor-in-ch OF
the little village newspaper forty-five
years ago were mostly directed to
maintaining its little subscription list,
writes Colonel Mcclure in Lippincott 5.
Every subscriber WAS personally
known to the editor-in chief. tie

during court weeks cirouses. militia
parades etc. when they would wan

drop in 10 pay their subscriptions orr
make close barter 10 pay for the
same II country produce. including
wood potatoes turnips cabbdges. etc.
The rural readers OF thai day were a
frugal set and the question OF SPEND
inc sL50 for newspaper was often
matter Of the gravest consideration,
and frequently required the employ
ment OF all the elo uelce the edItcr-
in chief could command to prevent
subscribers RON stopping their paper
when they came to pay their
b lis. The Q cd old ru e prevailed
an was auuted under the editorial
head Of the paper that under the
decision OF the posto ice department.
no newspaper could be discontinued
unti all a4-rearages are paid. As an
illustration OF the important labols
o. the edlor-in chief Of that dav |
might mention one typical case Of a
reluctant subscriber who. after trying !

a small load OF hatrotted wood in I
payment Of the IS cents due for his /
subscription and ordered his paper

succeeded in getting a suspension OF !

should come into town again. When

said that he had consulted the women
