Pennsvlyapia Railroad Time.

There was time when folks used to
set their watches by the town clock
Nowadays the railway timepiece seems
to set the pace. There is so much travel
ing and so many have to catch trains
that men try to keep railroad time.
Few think, however, how difficult it
is to keep that same railroad time
straight. A bad watch or false time,
even to the extent of minute or two,
might easily involve the destruction OF
train and many lives. Conductors
and engineers not only must have good
time keeping watches, but they must
have very accurate standard of time
to 60 by. All clocks vary, but most
clocks vary too much for railroad &C.
ouracy.
All over the great Pennsylvania sys-
tenn the clocks are regulated every "a
hours by telegraph from Altoona, where
they get the standard time in seconds
from Washington. The conductors and
engineers running out of Philadelphia
get their time from the clock in the ro-
tunda at the Broad street station, the
big one in the center just outside the
waiting room, which occupies the same
position in the new station that it did
in the old. This clock, which cost over
$400, is considered wonder and in the
old station seldom varied more than
two seconds in the "a hours. 1t has not
been doing quite SO well since taken
down and put up again, but is improv-
ing and is so much bette than any 9th.
er clock known that nobody thinks Of
changing it, and in all probability in 0
little while, when it gets accustomed tc
its position and surroundings, it will
come as near perfect accuracy as it even
has in its history. Philadelphia Times.

Port Louis, Mauritius.

From the sea Port Louis has pictur-
esque and oriental aspect, but the streets
are less so than one imagines. They are
wide and resemble those of Cape Town
Numerous European shops also line their
fronts
Lying behind the town is the Champ
de Mars. 1t is used as place of amuse-
ment, and opening into it are the streets
of Burbon and Corderie, while to the
left of the equays is the bazaar or market
place. Il is surrounded by an iron rail
ing, has several gates leading to the
principal streets and is divided into
two equal parts by Farquar street.
A broad avenue also traverses its en-
tire. length, lined on either side by COW
cred sheds, where the wares are exposed.
Fruit stalls occupy the upper end, and
here is exhibited a marvellous variety,
a collection that would make the fruit
sellers Of the west mad with envy.
Plantains in great yellow heaps are side
by side with custard apples, alligator
pears, manages, pineapples and others
too numerous to mention. Mangoes are
the most esteemed by Europeans. The
lower market contains the butchers
shops, where fowl, fish and kid are
conspicuous. All the Year Round.

Growing walking sticks.

The cultivation of material for walk
ing sticks is carried on in quite an ex-
tensive scale in some parts Of Europe.
and special attention is often paid to
making the roots grow into shapely
forms for handles. While in London last
year went in to manufacturing es-
tablishment, the floor space Of which
covers nearly an acre. This concern has
storehouses filed with native and for
eign sticks, from which stock is drawn
as wanted for the shops. The sticks as
they grow are often very crooked and
have to be strengthened. A heap Of sand
is piled on the top Of hot stove, into
which the sticks are plunged until they
become pliable The workman takes the
crooked stick while it is yet hot and
inserts it in a notch cut in stout board,
placed at an angle inclined from him,
where he bends and strains it. When it
has become perfectly straight. it is
thrown down to cool, after which it be-
comes rigid and permanent in its lines.
The same power which makes a crooked
stick straight is applied to make a
straight one crooked. All the various
kinds Of sticks that are required to be

The revival of the colors and fashions Of
the painter, Vandyke, is feature of the
season.
The NEST popular fur cape is from go to
"a inches deep and is of close fur, like Per
sian lamb, seal or otter.
There is great fancy at present for a
tiny shoulder cape for morning wear, and
the fashionable revival of the fur shoulder
cape seems to be assured.
The golf cape extends well over the
dress and is made Of mixed Scotch tweeds
or plain cloth with Scotch plaid lining.
1t is worn by young ladies for morning
shopping.
1t is fashion to make the huge sleeve
and skirt of the same material In hand
some cloth gowns this is generally of cloth,
while the silk or moire trimming appears
in the bodice.
The full sleeves, slashed bodices and full,
plain skirts, such as are seen in Vandyke
portraits of Henrietta Maria and other
ladies Of her court, are the models of the
gowns Of today.
Bertha trimmings seem to have disaRp-
peared. In their place there is no end Of
huge fat collets or tiny capes extending
from the throat short distance over the
top of the sleeve.
For elaborate dress there are long en-
pire coats of black moire, elaborately trim
med with black lace and spangles Of Jet.
These are altogether too elaborate to be
worn on the street, and the style is limited
to the carriage. ge.-Good Housekeeping.

ToPIc.-How to keep the Lords day.-Mark
Il. 1923
The subject of how to keep the Lords
day is always an important and an ap-
propriate one. There are perhaps few
more practical questions before the
church today of greater importance than
the proper Observance Of the Sabbath
day As the Christian finds his final
guide in all matters in the teachings and
actions of the Lord Jesus Christ, we can
do no better than study these in relation
to the Sababth day. In looking at the
example Of Christ in reference to the
Sabbath we learn:
1. Christ warns US against a merely
external, ceremonial observance Of the
Sabbath day. This is the great lesson of
the Scriptures-quotedi i'll connection with
the topic. The scribes and the Pharisees
find fault with Christ and His disciples
because they plucked and ate the grain
in the fields on the Sabbath day. There
was no sin in the plucking and eating.
This was allowable by the Mosaic law.
They did not therefore complain because
of that, but because of the day upon
which it was done. But Christ rebuked
and answered their charges. He taught
that the needs of humanity transcend
any laws or traditions that may be con-
nected with the observance of the Sab
bath; that works of mercy and necessity
are allowable even when the ordinary
works of life are not so. Let us heed
this warning Let us have the true
Christ spirit of Sabbath observance,
placing more evidence upon the spirit
than upon the letter. 1t is very often
that by an opposite course Christian
people themselves arouse opposition to
the Sabbath day We must guard our
selves against this danger.
Q. Christ taught that the Sabbath is
to be day Of worship to God This He
taught by His example The Sabbath
day found Him in the temple worship
ing God and instructing the people in
godly things. Thus are we to keep this
day-keep it sacred and holy as day
upon which we assemble to worship God
in His holy sanctuary.
8. Christ taught that the Sabbath was
made for man. Itwas made for his good
NOT for him to do as he pleases upon
it. 1t is for our good to worship God.
1t is also for our good to rest from
worldly employments and recreations.
Thus only can we truly worship God
Thus only can we do our life work best.
We should therefore keep the Sabbath
as rest day.

Aluminium and Glass.

NJ Charles Margot of the physical
laboratory of the University of Geneva,
says L'Industrie, has made a curious
discovery. He has found that by rub
bing on glass with an aluminium point
we obtain clear metallic lines, which
cannot be removed by washing, no mat
ter how often repeated. Many applica-
tions can be suggested for aluminium in
this direction. 1t can be used instead Of
the engraver's tool in cutting designs
on glass With the aluminium pencil
diamonds can be distinguished from inn
itation, since it will make no mark on a
diamond. 1t is possible that the new
discovery may make a great difference
in the making Of cut or engraved glass.

FAMOUS ARcHERS.
Stories of Wonderful Skill with Bow and
Arrow.

Arrow.
The expression drawing a long bow
does not of necessity mean the telling
Of falsehood. 1t sometimes refers to a
wonderful story, which may be true
enough but which is so marvellous as
to require firm trust in the veracity
of the narrator to enable the hearer to
believe it. Some of the longest bows of
this sort have been drawn about bows
and arrows.
These stories began long ago Virgil,
in the sEneid, F" tells Of four archers
who were shooting for prize, the mark
being a pigeon tied by cord to the
mast Of a ship. The first man hit the
mast, the second cut the cord, and the
third shot the pigeon as it flew away.
The fourth archer, having nothing left
to shoot, drew his bow and sent his ar
row flying toward the sky with such
speed that the friction of the air set the
feathers on fire, and it swept on, like
meteor, to disappear in the clouds.
The stories told of Robin Hoods
archery, illustrated by his wonderful
ROAAOAAnetAACC eho 1AOOhc1Cy III OCObb b
"Ivanhoe, are also decided strain
upon sensible PERSONS credulity. The
famous story of William Tell, doubted
by many persons, is believed by others
to have foundation of fact. There was
Dane named Foke of whom the same
story is told, and William Of Cloudes-
ley. an Englishman, is said to have shot
an apple from his sons head merely to
show his expertness.
Most stories of bows and arrows re
late to the accurate aim of the archers,
but a Frenchman, Blaise de vigenere,
tells one that shows the tremendous
force with which an arrow may be pro-
PEELED if the bow be strong and long
enough. According to his own account
of the matter, he saw Barbarossa,
Turk, admiral of a ship called the
Grand Solyman, send an arrow from
his bow right through cannon ball

Addison's Characteristics.

Addison is the very embodiment of
that delightful gift of humor on which
we pride ourselves so much as a special
ly English quality. That in its way his
style is the perfection of English style
Is less dear and delightful to us than
that what it conveys is the perfection of
feeling. His art is the antipodes of that
satirical art which allows human ex-
cellenoe only to grid at it and insinuate
motives which diminish or destroy Ad-
Olson, on the other hand, allows imper-
fections which his Interpretation turns
into something sweeter than virtue and
throws delightful gleam of love and
laughter upon the eccentricities and
characteristic follies of individual ma
ture. That he sees everything is one of
the conditions of his genial forgiveness
of all that is not mean Oh base or cruel
With these he makes no terms. Mrs
M. o. W. Oliphant in Century.

BECAUSE.

Sheep thrive best in a pasture infested
with moles because of the better drainage
Of the land.
Red hair is of that color because it Is
supposed to have q larger proportion Of
sulphur than black hair.
Silver furnishes when exposed to the
light because Of the actinic or chemical
property possessed by the rays Of the sun.
The flesh under the nails looks red be-
cause the nails are almost transparent,
and thus the color Of the tissue beneath is
visible.
A black down grows under the feathers
Of many birds at the approach Of winter
because down is the best nonconductor
and black the warmest color.
The heaviest rains occur in the tropics
because the heat and evaporation there arc
greatest, and the moisture ascending Is
suddenly condensed by the upper currents,
