Uncle Sans Clock.

If you happen To make your visit 20
the Observatory about the middle Of
the day you will see something very
interesting going on in what they call
the "time-service room," where stands
the big clock that measures out the time
for the whole United States as far west
rs Colorado. This clock does its work
by electricity, and is corrected daily to
the fraction of n second. IL is con-
nected with the Western Union wires,
which, like the arteries in the human
body, transmit every heartbeat of the
pendulum to all parts of the system, so
that the telegraph operators in Maine
and Texas hear its regular tick-tack as
distinctly as you who stand within
foot of it. There is nothing heard now
but the monOtonous regular beat of the
pendulum. You feel somehow as
though you were watching the pulse of
very sick person, and had to notice
carefully the least change or irregu-
larity. Suddenly one beat misses, and
you glance inquiringly ut the preOccupi-
ed face of the officer to see if anything
is going wrong. 'Only preliminary
signal" he says, without raising his
eyes. A few seconds more and another
interruption, longer than the first, calls
a sort of Attention, company :" to the
waiting country. The next instant the
minute-hand jerks itself to the figure
II, an electric bell rings out sharply,
and the noon signal flashes over the
thousands of wires centred under the
officers hand, from north to south,
from east 10 west, from New IOrk's
great offices To lonely little stations far
out on the plains. At the same
moment a ball drops from its position
on top of the Navy Department, the
steam-whistles take up the signal all
over the city, and the whole country
knows that the sun has crossed the
meridian.-Hdrper's Weekly.

Blasts From Rams Horn.

Do you ever pray for the people you
talk about?
The devil joins church somewhere
every Sunday.
A starving man will not find fault
with the table cloth.
People who hunt for faults seldom
find anything else.
There are some very good people
who love TO tell bad news.
Some people stop praying the min
ute they put their hands on money.
1t is much easier to be contented
without wealth than it is with it.
a lie is the meanest thing the devil
ever turned loose among men.
The surest way to get a man to pay
right is to get him to pray right.
Whenever lazy man looks to-
wards Heaven the angels close the
windows.
Il hC ucNh cciuoiA putS ou luouih-
ing when stingy man joins the
church.
You can't keep people from want
ing water by throwing stones at the
pump.
Egotism always looks at his ''neigh-
Dor" through the wrong end of the
telescope.
There is now and then a man in
the church who Is afraid the devil Is
being slandered.
Church members who never smile
will some day find out how much
harm they have done.
Men are not very busy for the Lord
when they can take time % split hairs
over non-essentials.
Ii is remarkable how many differ
ent kinds of fish the devil can catch
when he bats his hook with money.
Ii Is doubtful if there is spot on
earth where the devil feels more at
ease than he does in a drunkard's
home

Our Corn and Wheat.

Reports from Berlin indicates that as
a result of the efforts of agents of our
Government there American corn is
coming into increased use. This has
long been sought by our Agricultural
Department, both under Secretary
Rusk and Secretary Morton. The
statement that the consumption of corn
in Germany has recently doubled indi-
Gates that the effort is attended with
considerable success.
Yet it is one of the worries that some
times attend governmental success that
this is achieved in year when corn is
30 high and wheat 50 low as TO cause
the two sorts of grain to change places
i'm their functions in the far west. The
fact that western farmers are selling
their corn and feeding their wheat to
hogs may have a double aspect on our
relations with the German markets In
one aspect, we may hope, as one ex-
change adds, that when we have taught
the Germans to eat corn We can then
take the final step of educating them up
to the luxury of wheaton bread. In an
other view, we may sound our horn on
the theme that while Germany is just
getting up to the point of feeding her
people corn We are feeding our animals
on wheat.

Not For Money.

Things were so bad around the hotel
that when the landlord came out on the

"You have the poorest coffee and tea

"Yes, I've had heaps OF. complaints
he plaeidly replied.
''Your cook is also way off on his
meats"
'Yes, reckon he is"
"And his hot cakes are like so much
leather"
"rve noticed that myself"
"I have called for milk twice, and
both times it has been sour"
ayes, they hain't very particular
bout the milk"
That i an abominBble bed you gave

all there were 10 say then and there.
Mighty pore beds all over the house,
he replied as he smoked away.
"And the help around this hotel is
the worst i'm the whole state"
"Ive bin told 80, and / shouldn't
wonder if il was true"
''See here, my friend" ! said after
We had smoked in silence for three or
four minutes, ''are you running this
hotel TO make money?'
'Why, no, of course not ~ he replied
i'm seeming surprise.
"Then what is your o5ject?"
"Why, TO board and lodge my IA

AGAINST APPRECIATION IN
PREACHING.

II think no mau should try to preach,-
Said honest A. NJ. Baird.
''Who hasn't first the power OF speech,
And shows himself prepared.
1t makes me weary To the core
And sick al hear; and faint
To hear Gospel pilot roar
And rave without restraint.
used to think the man inspired
And all %. X, owl,
Who by much training had acquired
THAT blessed heavenly home"
In these cold, infideisc days
OF practical Affairs.
We judge a man by what he says
And NOT the voice he wears;
We walk by reason Ia the brink
OF the great unknown hence,
And i;s immortal waters drink
Through classic eloquence,
by keen. incisive thoughts we train
To view the great white throne.
And II j. counted loss To gain
THAT blessed heavenly tone"
An honest preacher need not change
The voice that nature gave;
For one more sibilant and strange
Has no more power TO save,
IL may be well To dress it up
As carpenters do boards,
And pare and scrlpc and bleed and cup
The ragged vocal cords;
But better to be dead and gone,
To ro; beneath the stone,
Than down here trying TO put ON
THAT blessed heavenly tone.'
