A Clockless Village.

A recent traveller in Alsace writes
"On my return from Belchen looked
upon the beautiful villages of the
Lewen valley, and, being tourist
who likes to poke his nose into every
thing, I turned by chance into the
church at Klrchberg. On coming out
I took out my watch to regulate it by
the clock in the church tower. But
there was no clock to be seen. Hence
I went into the village inn, and there
asked the time. But my host could
not oblige me. you see,' he said,
we have no use for clocks. In the
morning we go by the smoke rising
from the chimney at the parsonage up
on the hill. The parsonage people
are very regular. We dine when din
ner is ready. At 4 p. m. the whistle
of the train coming from WESTMINSTER
tells us that the time has come for
another meal, and at night We know
that it is time to 60 to bed when it is
dark. On Sunday we go to church
when the bell rings. Our parson is q
very easy-going man; he doesn't mind
beginning half an hour sooner OF
later. '"-Tit-Bits.

Double Locomotive Head Lights.

The New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad is experimenting
with double head light on one of
their locomotives. The plan has long
been used on some of the railways in
Great Britain, and has proved advau-
tageous in increasing the safety of
trains and passengers. The points of
advantage claimed are that should one
light become extinguished (which not
infrequently occurs) there is still an
other to fall back upon, also that tho
double light enables the engineer to
obtain better illumination on curves,
and when making switches.
Engine No. 21S is thus equipped.
This locomotive was badly smashed
up in the accident which recently oc-

Whining Children.

DR.. Mary Wood Allen writing in
Womankind of breaking children of
the habit of whining says: "In this
case, I should say, that the first thing
to do is to secure the cordial co-opera-
ton of every other adult member OF
the family. Let there be united pur-

given to him otherwise. Give him to
understand this in firm but gentle
way, aud if possible secure his up.

of the evil OF the habit, the unhappi-
ness it causes him and every one else,
show him that it is creating a habit
for the future years and tell him you
all going to help him to oyercoms it.
Let him feel that your refusal to grant
his whining requests are to aid him,
not to punish him. Then steadily,
persistently, sweetly and firmly, ad-
here to this policy. Never once yield
to his insistence, but always recognize
his attempt to meet your wishes in q
pleasant manner.
If the thing he wants is something
he should not have, tell him so, and
assure him that no amount of whining
will secure it, and then let him whine,
Wait, don't scold, don't tantalize.
don't appear to be either disturbed or
moved by his whining. Ifwhat he de.
sires is something he can have, and he
whines for it, assure him that as soon
as he asks pleasantly he can have it,
and then give him time to make up
his mind to be pleasant. We are too
apt to try to drive our children rapid
ly from one frame of mind to another.
Wait patiently, and if possible help
him by diverting his thoughts to some
thing agreeable. In few minutes he
will probably get control OF himself.
It is often q very touching sight to
witness the efforts of children to gain

stings OF the tantalizing reproaches OF
their elders.

A Curious Pistol.

J. G. Schmidt has just secured a
great curiosity in the way OF @ pistol,
from sailor. He says he has been
in the gnnsmith business for over
forty years, and never encountered a
more curiousiy constructed pistol
than this one. The pistol mas no bar
rel, and yet will shoot eight times.
1t consists OF brass wheel or disk,
three inches in diameter and half an
inch thick. with holes drillel from
the outer edges toward thu centre, in
which the loads are inserted. The
trigger is on the top OF the brass disk,
and drops down on the tube, which
connects with the holes in the disk.
When one barrel Is discharged the
disk is turned to bring the next load
under the banner, aud so on until all
the loads are discharged. Under the
disk and projecting from it is inserted
q dagger, so that when all the loads
are discharged the dagger may be
used.
A collector of curios saw the pistol
Saturday and tried to purchase it, but
Mr.. Schmidt would not part with 1t.
Quite number have examined it, but
none ever saw such weapon before.

Washington as a Stock. Breeder.

Captain D. G. Purse, who is run
ming the Savannah end of the great
exposition, has secured relic which
seems to be proof that General George
Washington was somewhat of stock

OF 1880 uponit, and by its appearance
it was without doubt made about that
time. 1t bears the following inscrip-
tion in fine lettering just under the
rim: "A premium from The Agricul-
tural Society of South Carolina to
General Washington for raising the
largest jaokass." Just under the word
"iackass" is a picture of the animal
himself, engraved on the silver. Cap

The boys decided to order an i'm

could suggest an acceptable design.
Finally it was determined that it
should be left to the florist, who had
certainly had much experience, and
should be able to furnish something
appropriate. Merely as suggestion

Force Expended in Playing the Piano.

1t is said that it requires more force
to sound q note gently on the piano
than to lift "the lid OF kettle" We
do not know. says the Literary Digest,
just what kind OF q kettle the German
composer who makes this statement
means, but he has figured that the
minimum pressure Of the fager play
Ing pienissimo is equal to quarter OF
pound; and few kettle lids, he says,
weigh more than two ounces. The
American Art Journal says:
'The Germans calculations are
easy to verify if one takes small
handful of coins and piles them on a
key OF the piano. When sufficient
quantity is piled on to make q note
sound they may then be weighed, and
these figures will be found TO be
true.
eff the pianist is playing fortissimo,
much greater force is needed. Al
times force of six pounds is thrown
upon single key to produce solitary
effect. With chords the force is gen
orally spread over the various notes
sounded simultaneously, though q
greater output Of force is undoubtedly
expended. This is what gives pianists
the wonderful strength in their fingers
that is o.Gsu commented on. A story
used to be told of Paderewski that he
could crack pane OF French plate
glass half an inch thick merely by
placing one hand upon it, as if upon

"Chopin's last study II G minor has
passage which takes two minutes
and five seconds to play. The total
pressure brought to bear on this, 1t is
estimated, is equal to three full tons.
The average tonnage of an hours

from twelve to eighty-four tons.

Tile Fish is a CannibaI.

Fishes absorb nourishment as we'll
as plants, but in different way. The
plant drinks in its food through its
roots from the soil and through its
leaves from the air. The fish takes
its food into the stomach, where it is
digested and then distributed by q
wonderful circulatory process to every
part of the body. The plant lives on
grass and moisture, the fish on solid
food. The fish is a cannibal and
swallows his victims aliye. Boston
