Al Ingenious clock.

A firm in Calcutta, India, has lately
completed a very ingenious timepiece in
the shape of an eight day clock, which
strikes the hours on large full toned
gong and chimes the quarters on eight
bells. In connection with the clock
there is perpetual calendar. which gives
the correct DAYS ofall the various months,
including the twenty-nine days of Feb
ruary in each year.
There is military procession worked
by the clock, representing various
branches of the British army, consisting
Of artillery, cavalry and infantry, and the
staff in review order There is also a
sentry on duty who salutes, a drummer
who beats the drum, and a bugler who
raises his bugle to his mouth every few
minutes. All of these figures are ar
ranged at the top of the dial A must
cal instrument plays while the procession
is marching in review.
Near the bottom of the clock is placed
r military band. which is concealed by o
curtain, which is raised every hour when
the music is playing and the procession
moving, and falls again Immediately
after the clock has struck, and remains
drawn until the next hour. The ease,
made of ebonized mahogany, is about 6
feet high, 3 feet inches. wide, and ,
feet 6 inches deep, highly ornamentcd
with brass trimmings.
The circles on the dial to show min
ntes, hours, days of the month, ETC., are
engraved and silvered. The centre and
sides of the dial are richly enameled. At
the sides of the case are massive brass
ornamental handles and ornam entail fret
work. New York Despatch.

his first experience with the instrument

Impression that as his employer was two
miles away he ought to put his hand to
his mouth like an ancient mariner on the

essayed again and again. but with nc
better result. A happy thought struck
him when he had recovered his wind
after the tenth blast; and he softly
whispered to himself: 81 wonder if the
old idiot is deaf" His hair rose slowly
on end as he heard the sound of his

The bird has several hundred feathers,
and each feather is rs delicately carved rs
If that was all the artisan had to do. In
some Of the feathers the magnifying glass
shows thousands Of minute lines, and
Shingita-1tao found that the hard iron
spoiled his tools after three or four lines
had been cut, SO that it was necessary to
use up several hundred tools in cutting
one feather. The price of this eagle is Slo.-
0o0. not a large sum considering the
amount of work put in upon it. Asmaller
eagle cut in the same way is priced at
$1,000, but this one is badly drawn in that
the eagle is about six times as big as the
bear which he is represented as destroying
with his talons. Evidently the Japanese
do not know much about bears.
In iron these Oriental workers are very
skillful. Just outside the principal en-
trance to the pavilion you will see a pair
of enormous lawn-vases in this material,
deliberately carved. Each is big enough
for a chicken coop, and though we call
them vases the Japs say the are light
houses, their use being to contain the
lamps which illuminate gardens. Patience
is big stock in trade in the Mikado's
country. Here is a little bowl of silver

Here is one beautiful horn, ut least wv

The N%orwegians show fine carvings exc.

and the wonder is how they can produce
such effects with one blade. There are

queer, one-seat vehicles known as carriolcs

CORNER OF SECTION.
which form one of the richest features Of
the empire. The work is embellished
with many ornamental nail heads and
strips Of fanciful metal work, producing
effects that are rich and impressive.
Within the display is the handsomest
and most costly ever made by the Japa-
nese at any exposition. At Paris four
years ago the empire did we'll, and at
tracted much attention, but the exhibit
there was neither so comprehensive nor so
costly as that which is to be seen here.
The Japanese do not surprise one with the
beauty of their work, but with the infinite
variety of ways in which their native skill
has been shown. There does not seem to
be anything on earth too dif1icult.for their
accomplishment. 1.-THE truth were known
they are great imitators. They do not
actually originate one-half the things for
which they are given credit. But every.
thing they take up is given a twist all
their own, is made to partake of their ma
tional characteristics until its own father
would find it difficult to recognize his off
spring in its new guise. An example of
This is to be found in their display of sill
versmithery. A few years ago it was said
the Japanese did nothing in silver, but at
the Paris exposition their artisans picked
up a few ideas and here they are with a
number of silver pieces which are very
nearly as fine as the finest to be seen in
the building. They do not show many
pieces, but what they do show are admir-
able. One is a tea house in a Japanese
boat, and it seems to be worth the price
asked for it, s4,622. A pair Of vases of I'M
bossed silver are worth o. ,741.
One Of the most noteworthy articles in
the section is a great iron eagle. It was
carved with ind%escribable labor and pa
thence by Shingita-Itao, of the province Of
Xiii, and he was five years at the job.

galleries are from Norway. Their best
subjects, naturally, are the sea, the fiords,
the fishing, the boats, the mountains, the
glaciers of their native land. Norwegian
painting is vigorous, of high colors, and is
full Of character.
The most noteworthy thing in the Nor
wegian pavilion of the great Manufactures
building is the work in silver enamel. The
Norsemen alone rival Russia in this deli
cate and exquisite art. In my Judgment
they have moi yet quite reached the Rus
sian standard Of excellence, but they are
very near it. For instance, they show q
pair of lamps which are of fine design and
rich establishment with enamel on silver,
and which appear to be cheap at the price
asked, s LOO each. A jewel casket, indie
scribably rich in transparent enamel, is
valued at ESQ. The Norwegian silver
smiths, living chiefly at Christiana, the
capital, have Of late begun to reproduce
the old ware which dates back to the six
teenth and even to the fifteenth century.
There is the flavor Of the Norsemen about
it all, and this is a flavor of which Amer.
leans are just now particularly fond.
Originals of some of these old articles
are shown, too, and they are very interest
ing. A beer tankard made in 1888 is one
specimen, and a wine cup Of 1890 is an.
other. Another relic is a BRIDES crown
Tade in the seventeenth century, and for
which $1,000 was paid. It had belonged to
q well-to.do PEASANTS family and had been

ton. 1t recalls a custom among the peas
antry. which requires a crown at every
wedding, even though it be not made Of
silver. The girl who places q crown on
her head before her wedding day, accord
ing to the tradition, will never have a we'd
ding day. These old silver pieces are held
at reasonable prices. They come from the
peasants back in the COUNTRY, who are dis
covering that on account of the age of
their silverware they can get more for it
than it is intrinsically worth, and 80 they
put it on the market, investing the pro
ceeds in modern articles.

The broad distinction between excellero.

is in handwork. Throughout the fore;on

We readily concede this. This is the sum

Eucrasy, a Cure for tho Liquor Habit.

A new departure In temperance work.
The most careful students of the temper
ance question and physicians, almost with
out exception, now declare that constant
craving for alcoholic stimulants and their
excessive use, are undisputed evidences of
disease as real as typhoid fever or la
grippe.
The medicines used In Eucrasy, the
most successful treatment for alcoholism
known, are the formulas Of a well known
Cleveland physician and have been tested.
for more than eight years. A large num-
ber of persons in Cleveland who were suf-
fering from the worst forms OF alcoholism,
the result in many cases OF long continued
habits Of inebrlety, have had removed
from them all appetite for alcoholic drinks,
and haYe been completely restored TO
health. These facts ara known TO promi-
nent and reliable business men, TO temper
ance workers, 10 ministers and 10 many
leading physicians. In no case has Il been
claimed that Eucrasy has had an injurious
effect upon any one. Prof Perry L. Hobbs,
OF Western Reserve college, has made a
thorough examination Of all medicines
used in the Eucrasy treatment, and afIirms
tndb lney COudln uO opium, COCAINE OF
gold and are entirely harmless when taken
according to direction. Not the least of
the many advantages of the Eucrasy over
other methods OF treatment Is the fact that
the patient need not incur the publicity,
expense and loss OF time of going to an
institution, but can use the remedies while
pursuing his ordinary business, the effect
OF the medicines being TO build up the
constitution and add 10 the strength from
the beginning. II for any reason retire
ment and special saniiarium care are de-
sired, they may be secured In most salts
