HOME OF THE CUCKOO CLOCK.
The Little Town of ygiingcn. Located In
the Black Forest Of Germany.

The Little Town of yuifngcn. Located In
the Black Forest of Germany.
Villingen is one of the centers for
the Black Forest clock industry. Tbs
making of clocks in the Schwarzwald
dates from very old time. and the in
dUstry has here attained some forms
which are to be found nowhere else,
SAYS the Philadelphia Telegraph. IL
Is, perhaps, the most distinctive OF al
the skilled trades OF these clever poo
pie. The inha bitants Of the hills. from
the earliest time, IN distinction from
the residents of the valleys. who pre-
ferred to farm, have shown love for
woodwork. and centuries ago trained
their hands 10 cut out various clever
untensils- Their skill in this line took
the form of clockmsking about l6SO or
80. There were very rudimentary
ideas afioat concerning what constitu-
ted clock in those days. st first .
weight was used hung from string.
Later the pendulum was introduced
Then came the striking one-day clocks.
Again, little later, the eight-day
clocks. By their own discoveries and
by the adoption Of the inventions of
foreigners these people have thus
steadily kept themselves in the front
rank among the clock manufacturers
of the world. This section particularly
excels in making automatic clocks. and
clocks combined with musical boxes
and other novelties. The principal
thing in this line however. is the
cuckoo clock dn German kukuk). The
first cuckoo clock was put together
about one hundred and fifty years ago
b. an inventive old SchwarZwalder, and
the popularity of his clever mechanical
device continues without Abatement.
The cuckoo is put mp in every kind
OF clock case and with every kind Of
good, bad and indifferent time-keeping
machinery. He may be had. works and
all, for one dollar, and so on up, ac-
cording to the quality of his song and
other characteristics. His special pc
culiarity, of course. is his regularity,
and this is what got him into trouble
In the United States. He has a small
cage up at the top of the clock and when
ever the time comes for him 10 20
through ms exhibition his door flies
open. he steps out IN front, bows and
flaps his wings and sings his little song.
He has been criticised for his limited
repertory. Nature did this, and no
bird can improve on nature. The pc
culiar sound is made by the use OF
sort of double bellows. through which
the wind is forced at the proper inter
vals. Ii it is a good clock the mimicry
is perfect. II is an invention which
Gould have been made only here, in the
land Of the cuckoo. AT this time of
the year the bird can be heard see
saving away in every copse of woods.
He has points of difference from the
American cuckoo. He does not lay Ais
egg in other birds nests, sHd seems, in
fact, to be very decent kind Of fowl.

The jurors In the inquisltion concerning
the death of Frank Pix!ey on the night OF
July 4, after hearing the evidence, dis
agreed yesterday.
Their verdicts were as follows:
L. 4. Enoch, y. s. Morris and Harry
Thomas found that Pixley came to his
death from gun shot wound in the left
eye, the said wound being produced by a
pistol shot, said pistol being held in the
hands Of either George Baldwin or Will
lam Mack, the said shooting being with
out malice aforethought or Fermentation
to kill. but with culpable criminal care
lessnesS"
w. a. Frances, G. Ritche and J. T.
Holmes found that Frank Pixley came to
bis death from d 3S-calibre pistol bullet in
the left eye, said pistol being fired by some
one unknown TO the jury, the evidence in
thecase being insufficient to convict either
George Baldwin or William Mack"
On instructions of the county attorney,
George Baldwin was remauded to jill and
it Is probable that his case Will go before
justibe of the peace for further examiUa-
ton.
1t seems to be fact that there was no
evidence introduced to prove who did the
shooting. That such evidence could be
had there was no doubt, but presumably
1t was overlooked till after the verdict was
announ ced when several people all at once
recoliected that Baldwin himself made Il
statement to an EAGLE reporter admitting
that he did the shooting. Thls confession.
doubtless, could be introduced as evidence
and that point, ct least, would have aided
the jury TO reach an unanimous vote, so

ROYAL COURTESY.
An Americans Experience with Some Of
the Crowned Hesds of Europe.

An American who has been honored
by his country with important mis-
sions abroad was talking the other
evening of royalty, says the Chicago
Tribune.
Il know" said he, ''it is not expect
ed thet an American should commend
anything he sees among the royalty. /
do not know why an American. of all
nationalities, should not feel himself
Independent enough to commend what
ever is worth commentator, whether
it Is found in his own country or else
where. Ny position ena bled me to see
the life. manners and customs of ali
classes abroad. That a conventional
ity hedges royalty in. Is true. and it
should not be otherwise. But the orc
fact which most forcibly struck me was
that once you get beyond the barrier
once over the conventional ine-no peo-
pie are more hospitable and more at
tentive listeners. II they are with in
telligent people who are below their
rank they like it all the better. so
long as they feel assured that that
fact will be treated with the sacred
ness they think it deserves 4 queen
who had honored me with several in
vitations sent for me one afternoon
and asked me to repeat to her some
stories had told on certain occasion
about Lincoln. Her majesty was af-
ficted with slight deafness. and after
j had retold the anecdotes, she said to
me in perfect English: Il like to hear
you talk, because you do not bawl in
my ear
ION another occasion / was honored
with an invitation to attend an outing
with the king and his suite in an old
forest near the capital. When the
company had assembled the king said
in the most democratic way: We will
all speak English to-day in honor Of
the representative of the great United
States
''On several other occasions where
the rule was French the king and queen
always did me the honor of addressing
me in English, although they were
aware of my proficiency in the court
language. / have no wish to see the
government of my own country
changed / hope and believe it never
will be, but am not afraid to say that
those who are fortunate enough to
pass beyond the lines of which / spoke
will never regret it."

HARD TACK THE REMEDY.
Modern Cook Said to He Responsible for
the Decay Of Teeth.

Modern Cook said to He Responsible for
the Decay Of Teeth.
The dentists of the period, who arc
nothing If not scientific, raise note of
alarm about the growing tendency to
decay of the teeth of the present and the
coming generations. Dental carries is
said to be increasing in an "ex:raordi-
nary and alarming" manner. Each
succeeding generation shows a poorer
quality of teeth. This a writer for the
Hospital confirms to some extent by
the experience of four generations of
his own family. At one extreme was
grandfather at eighty-six, who died
less than a score of years ago, with
mouth full Of absolutely perfect teeth.
At the other ia the Creat-granddaugh
ter of that old gentleman, who, at ten
years of age. requires six of her teeth
filled at the present moment. What
can be the cause of this very unpleas-
ant and even alarming condition
of things9 The dentists tell Us
that dental carries marches hand
in hand with civilization" II that
be SO, we can only devoutly
wish that civilizztio would find
more encouraging and comfortable
companion. But why does civilization
Insist upon destroying our teeth? Be

Three seperate civil service examinations
will take place IN this city during the
next three months. One on July 20 one
on August II and one September %

that those passing the examinations Will

sary, however, TO make application 10 the
United states civil service commissioners.

A test in theory and practice was pub

applause which followed a ringing protest
from Prof Scott, closing the discussion of
the topic in the class in management
Prof. Scott took position firmly opposed

A CARGO OF WIVES,
HOW 8 Community of Hungarian Minsrs
Settled the Marriage Question.

HOW Community of Hun gsrian Miners
Settled the Marriage Question.
ST think the most remarkable sight 7
ever witnessed" said Pueblo Col
man to st. Louis Globe Democrat rep
resentative, was at a small mining
town in our state, where the majority
of the miners are Poles or Hungarians
or both. For some time a rumor had
gone around that the bachelor mem
bers of the community had sent enough
money 10 the old country TO secure a
delegation of unmarried females to
come out and share their good fortune
with them. The prospective bride
grooms drank more than usual as the
arrival of the peculiar cargo became
more certain, and when finally a tele-
gram was received from New York tina,
these damsels had actually arrived ana
were on board a train, the men cele-
brzted the last of their bachelor days
by q first-class drunk. They were
fairly sober on the morning the train
was TO arrive, and putting on their best
clothes they arrived at the depot with
that peculiarly uneomforts bic look
which miners are apt TO assume when
dressed for meeting. About half the
town was at the depot as well, and
some one rather malioiously started a
cheer when the young ladies with their
huge bundles began 70 alght from the
cars. The crowd took up the idea and
a mighty cheer rang through the air.
The miners took charge Of their pro-
posed brides, and retired with them 20
the house of q married friend, where 10
Is to be presumed brides and bride
grooms were divided up 80 as 70 suit
the feelings Of the majority. The proc
cas- did not take more than half an hour,
and within an hour Of the arrival Of
the train a local justice of the peace
had securely tied the sun3rv and divers
knots necessary 70 complete the trans
action. No marriage bureau ever did
business in 50 strictly a regular and
satisfactory nanpAr."
