Timepiece in Q Shirt Stud.

Theodore G.. Rohrer, Of Newcastle,
Penn, who constructed a wonderful
automatic clock a number OF years
ago, containing many figures, and
which attracted great attention all
over the country when placed on ex-
hibition, has nearly completed
another timepiece which displays
marvellous mechanism. This clock
exhibits scenes in the revolutionary
war, and Mr.. Rohrer considers it even
more remarkable piece ofwork than
his former effort. In addition to
these clocks Mr.. Rohrer, a number Of
years ago, constructed one Of the
most ingenious pieces OF miniature
mechanism TO be found in the world.
This consists Of three gold studs, in
one Of which is "a diminutive watch
which keeps most excellent time.
The combined weight OF the three
studs-which are all connected to-
gether by a strip OF silver metal
which passes on the inside OF the
shirt bosom-is only one ounce and a
half The stud in which is contained
the watch has base about as large
as a 3-cent piece and, with its sur
roundings Of gold, presents much the
appearance Of a very diminutive
mariners compass. When the studs
are on the shirt bosom they are about
two inches apart. BY revolving the
upper one--in much the same man.
ner as stem-winding watch is
wound-the little timepiece is wound
up for action. In setting the hands
the lower stud is reyolyed.

THE DRUM-MAJOR.

When | was boy in New York, as
many OF us youngsters walked In
front Of n procession as there were
soldiers in it, The platoon of mount
cd police which now clears the street
for blocks ahead, was thon-and IL
was not SO many years ago, either
unknown; for there was no mounted
police. To us the real drum-major
seemed little more than nn ornament
and n harlequin, IA soldier-acrobat
who would have been as much in
place In circus as at the head Of a
regiment. The drum-majors were
iine-looking fellows then. M now;
tall and shapely, their natural height
increased by their great bearskin
caps, SO that they all seemed sprung
from race OF giants. Whenever the
drum-corps had been playing for
some time, we would look back inn
patient for the drum-major signal
TO the band. How IL thrilled us TO
see his stick flourish in the air; and
when, as he brought it down, the
band broke in upon the drums with
q crashing chord, our forms straight
oned up and our steps became more
buoyantl In those days, ! thought
the duties OF the drum-major were
limited to squelching alternately the
drum corps and the band, and be-
tween times looking as large and
handsome as possible. But, while
the drum-major cannot, under any
circumstances, be said TO have been
born to blush unseen, he performs
many duties OF which the looker-on
Mt street-parnde knows nothing. II
requires n visit TO State camp or II
United States Army post to learn
what the tall man in the bearskin
hat has to do. For there he Is busy
even when he Is not on show.
The drum-major Is to the band
what the first sergeant is to com
pany. lie drills the musicians In
marching, sees that they are rightly
equipped that the brasses are bright
and the music in order. The band,
OF course, practises under the band
leader, but the drum-major has full
charge OF the field music-the trump.
eters and the drum-and-fife corps.
In fact, the drum-major derives his
name from the fact that he was
formerly the chief drummer Of the
regiment. lie has been an ornament
OF the British army since the reign
OF Charles H., and has long hourishcd
in the continental services. He Is
tambour-major In the French army,
and he went by the same name In
the German service until the gradual
giving up Of French terms after the
Franco-German war converted him
into the Regiments-trommler the
regimental drummer,-a term which
well expresses the original duties Of
the Office, but lacks the swing Of
"drum-major" and "tambour-ma-
jor." And what is q drum-major
without swing?
At parade" ut an army post, or
State camp, the drum-major leads
the band and field music TO the front,
and brings IL 10 n halt facing the
color-line. At the approach Of the
adjutant he gives the command,
open ranks" and when the arms
have been inspected. "Close ranks"
He then marches the band back TO
its place on the color-line. Il st.

PETROLEUM OIL TANK BURNING.

The spectacle OF burning oil-tank
is one not easy TO forget. Vast
bilIows OF smoke, like clouds Of black
ivory, roll Kissing upwards. The
masses Of thick pungent vapor sprawl
and tumble over one another.
Through these, like shuttle through
loom, dart swift arrows Of glaring
yellow smoke. When one OF the big
oil-refneries in Long Island City was
burning years ago the smoke hid the
sun for hours.
The most destructive petroleum
fire in the history OF this country
took place at Titusville and Oil City,
Pennsylvania, on Sunday, June .,
1892. Strangely enough IL began
with a food. A dam that had been
built at Spartansburg, above Titus
willie. broke. and millions OF gallons
Of water rushed down upon the city.
The food came at night, and the
people were all asleep. The dam had
held back n lake one-quarter OF a
mile wide and a mile and half long.

Its Purpose Is to Afford Protection to
 Helpless Womanhood in Every Walk of
 Life.

Fruit for Break,..,

Fruit of some kind-and under ., head of fruit all varieties of me,oae and berries belong-should be on evo-S well-ordered breakfast table. It is oo. erally abundant in most sections of ths country and its cost is trifiing when fife healthfulness is taken into considars tion. There is disposition, however among housekeepers to use frpit both cooked and uncooked-on the te. or supper table and exclude it from tba breakfast table. which seems contrary to the best hygienic knowledge on the. subject. The experience of our an. cestors gave them some tolerablv cor. rect opinions in regard to diet as wei, as other things, and the old proverb in regard to fruit ''gold in the morning silver at noon and lead at night" was formulated from practical observation IN.

The bodies were covered with very curious mating or blanket of wool and feath- CTS, then packed around with cedar bark. So we'll preserved are the bodies that it could be told that one boy met n violent death. The mustache is still on the face of the giant and the course of vein may be traced in the arm of tho woman.

Onlcials Pleased at the Extension of Time
 for Its Completion.
 WASHINGTON, April 1s-Census of- ficials are confident that thoroughly satisfactory adjustment of the work of the eleventh census will result from the carrying into effect of the bill which has just passed through con gress providing for the extension of the time for the completion of the work until March next
 Superintendent of Census Wright said to-day: ''The census act originally provided for a publica- tion of names of all surviving sol- diers and widows of deceased soldiers At my suggestion congress has author ized the transfer of all the names to the pension office where they will be of very great service. This action will save nearly s250,O0o to the government 1t will enable the census office to com plete almost all of the clerical work by July, as contemplated by the law of last October. There will be then only small portions of these volumes re- maining to be completed, so far as copy is concerned. The extension of time is for the purpose of allowing the proof reading to be done by those most familiar with the census volumes. Dis charges of employees are being rapidly made, but in all cases a week or more notice is given to those discharged and they are allowed all the leave due them by law. The statements that have appeared that the census reports are being doctored are absurd The reports are being brought out in all the integrity of MT. Porter's plans. Wherever matter has been or will be eliminated it is because it is in accordance with his approved ideas. No facts that were collected for the eleventh census have been in any way suppressed or changed. As the superintendent originally declared of- ficially that it was to be purely a sta tistical report, so Tar as still unpub. lished reports are concerned we are trying to conform to that declaration. |"

A MORMON convert who shouted ''Glory!' at the top of his voice was be- ing baptized in the Green brer river, w. Va, recently, and just as the elder dipped him he seemed to lose all con- trol over himself, and in a moment he and the elder were struggling in each others embrace. The elder was will ing to let go, but the old man held to him, and was evidently trying to drown him. Finally the convert got the elder under water for good and held him there, shouting that he had drowned the flesh and the devil. By that time men on the bank had come to their senses and forced him to let the elder go, The elder was insensible and did not come to for fully half an hour. The convert was violently in- sane.
