THE OID DEPOT CLOCK.

We'll, well, we'll! How the old depot clock Is missed? Who would have thought that it had become so necessary To ihe peace of mind of thousands who walk or ride about the corner of Chapel and State streetsy It is interesting to watch people as they come to the cor ner on inc horse cars. They look eagerly mp to See what time it Is as they have done for many years. They sec nothing but the ruined tower and the calm sky, and then they remember nnd breathe sigh of regret for the disappearance of the faithful old public servant which was as sure guide to the people of New Haven as were the pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night 10 the Israelitcs in the wilderness. To be sure, the old clock was hardly fiery enough some nights, but it could be seen. Now it can't be seen, night or day and as one who has been accus- toned to rely on it hurries around the corner with his eXpectant face turned 10 the spot where the old clock was he realizes that this is Il world of change ns well as of habit, and that there is something ridiculous in his notion that he will see n clock because he auto matcally looks for one.
 Perhaps people would do well to adopt severe measures to break them selves of the habit of looking for that vanished clock. If they don't they may begin to imagine that they see spectral clock-face in the air with ghostly hands pointing to ghostly fig urea. There are hallucinations enough in New Haven now. and the Bonrd of Health will be after some of us if we don't stop looking for Il clock that doesn't exist.

The usual answer that they honestly and in all simplicity wer- shipped the body. and thought It's eui- tivation at least as important as that of the intellect or the taste, is no doubt true. and marks n deep line Of cleavage between pre-chrlstian and post-chris- tian opinion. but they had another mos tive too, People forget some Of the coh- ditions of the ancient world.

The modern school boy is nearly of the Creeks opinon, but the modern man is not. He values health and the exercises which lead to health: but he seldom or never places the professional athletes high In the so- cial scale, and is not inclined to de- spise the soldiership of Napoleon be- cause the great conqueror was bad and even timid rider and would on any field of athletic sports have been of no account at all. Bodily training Is good, as the Germans know. and as the French are now admitting; but the old reverence for athletics cannot be fully revived. The international athletes may be as enthusiastic as they please. but the feeling they develop among the people will always be half unreal, al- ways inclined to regard them as sports men rather than the educators of na- tions. There Is no harm in their sport, but 1t hardly deserves columns of ap- plause or long telegrams about their rules and their debates. It is pleasing of them to try to revivify Greek mu- sic, but they will hardly revive the Greek reverence, which was neverthe- less sincere, for the contests of the ring.

Prince Bismarck and His Wigs.

The Berlin correspondent of the Lon don Standard says that the new nun. Der Of the Deutsche Revue contains the concluding portion of the reminscences. Of signor crispi's last visit to Frieder- ichsruh. Prince Bismarck expressed himself in very forcible terms on the subject of badness.
 "Moitke," he said. wears a wig which deceives nobody. If I wore n wig I should give vent 10 all my hu- mors. and wear wigs of all kinds-long, short and middle-siZed; fair and brown. Tn my eyes a wig Is simply a hood Of hair, instead Of wool. silk or cotton. I should. therefore. wear my wig as a hood, and there are hoods of different kinds-some warmer and others lighter There was n time when I made up my mind to wear wig. when I was in St. Petersburg. My excuse was the cold At a temperature of 25 to 30 degrees (Reaumur) below freezing point. I had sometimes to stand bareheaded with scarcely more hair on my head than l have now. This nuisance occurred an nually at the blessing of the Neva. Others had worn wigs before me and so got one.
 At a review at Warsaw before the Czar Alexander 1T. and the prince re- gent of Prussia, afterwards the Elm peror William I. had to ride and wear a military uniform. A helmet Is bad protection against both heat and cold, so resolved to put on my wig. We were galloping in the retinue of the princes when a general beside me
 looked at me and said, half chaffingly, What do you wear wig?' Is 1t to be seen?" replied. "Yes, ,devilish distinct
 ". It's slipping down on one side. It was the fact. The carriage in which was to drive home was standing at some distance. I left tke general staff l where it was. My general accompan- jed me. and we zpurred our horses. I stopped my horse at the carriage-not an easy matter for 1t was a thorough | bred-and there and then, in the pres, | ence of the czar, the princes, the gen. eral staff and the army, I took off my helmet, tore off the wig, and threw 1t into the carriage. The prince regent, who attached great importance to | forms, afterwards said to me, rather testify, What diabolical manoeuvre you executed with that wig of yours "
