The Face OF a Clock.

We believe it was George Augustus
Sala who once said he would think
himself safe in betting a five.pound
notes that not more than one person
out of a score could tell correctly of
hand, in what way the hour four is
represented on q watch or clock-dial
Most people. without looking, would
say ", instead of iii. And why
should it not be "? Well, here is
the story. The first clock which kept
anything like accurate time was con-
structed by certain Henry Wick, in
1870. 1t was made to the order OF
Charles ", of France, who was called
"The Wise" Wise he certainly was
in some respects, but he did not know
everything, though he.liked topretend
that he did. When Wick brought him
his clock, he looked closely at its
movements for some time. ''Yes, il
works very well," he said at length,
but you have got the figures on the
dial wrong" "Surely not, your Ma
jesty," said Wick. Eyes, that foui
should be four ones" ''You ar'
wrong, your Majesty" 81 am never
wrong" thundered the King. TAKE
it away and correct the mistake.
Wick did as commanded, and so t.
this day we have ILL., when we really
should have ~. 1t is not generally
known that watches may be used a
compasses, yet such is the case. Poin
the hour hand to the sun, and the
south is exactly half way between the
hour and the figure XII on the watch
For instance, supposing that it is foul
o'clock. Point the hand indicating
four to the sun, aud III on the watch
is exactly south. Suppose that it i
eight o'clock: point the hand indieat
ing eight TO the sun, and the figure J
on the watch is due south.-Ladies

DIR. PIERCE'S
Golden Medical
DISCOVERY
Cures NineU-eighf per cent Of an
cases of Consumption, In an ifs
Earlier Stages.

Although by many believed TO be incura.
BILE, there is the evidence of hundreds of
living witnesses TO the fact that, in all its
earlier stages, consumption is curable
disease. Not every case, but q large per.
eenfdge Of cases, aud we believe, IHiiy oS
per- 6eH!. are cured by Dr. Pierces Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed so far as TO induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectoration Onclud-
ing tubercular inatterl, great loss of flesh
and extreme emaciation aud weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to MS as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery were genuine cases OF that
dread and fatal disease You need not take
our word for il. They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them and who were oftsn
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial Of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emulsions and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases aud had either utterly failed to bene.
fit or had only seemed to benefit little for
a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey
and various preparations Of the hypophos-
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs Of large number OF
those cured Of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred maladies, have been
skillfully reproduced in a book of 100
pages which will be mailed to you, on re-
ceipt of address aud six cents in stamps.

Dulce a Strange Food.

Dulce is seaweed growing on the
rocks in the sea, and used as an article
of food by the poor on the ooasts OF
Ireland, Scotland and other Northern
countries, and of the Crecian Islands.
Even some of the wealthier classes in
those localities also show great par
tiality for this production, the taste,
however, being generally an acquired
one. Duloe has "a purple, leathery,
membranous Leaf, with an odor some-
thing like that of violets mingled with
sea salt. II is eaten raw or roasted,
and in Ireland it is sometimes boiled
in milk. Among the inhabitants OF
the latter country it is considered a
most important plant, and after being
washed and dried is stored in casks, to
be eaten with fish. The Kamtschat-
kans utilize it in the making fer
mented liquor. The name of dulce is
also given in the southwest of Eng
land to another seaweed of the same
family, which is eaten raw or pinched
between hot irons Still another
variety called pepper dulce" has a
sharp taste and is used rs an appetizer
when other seaweeds are eaten. Con
siderable quantities of Irish dulce art
imported into this country, and may
be bought at grocery stores. New

A Good Kind OF Food.

No sort of food is better for the

The finest compilations in the world
are those of the Spanish and italian
ladies, who live largely on COARSE

ladies are living almost entirely on
oranges. Half dozen for breakfast
with a cup of coffee, a dozen for lunch
with glass of milk and saucer oI
oatmeal, and dozen n ore for supper
with crust of bread and sip of tea,

sense of the word, but such course

A Gorilla Dissecied.

An autopsy was held upon the body
of Gumbo, the gorilla which died re-
Gently at Boston. Professor Franklin
Dexter, of the Harvard Medical School,
and Professor Councilman, formerly
Of Johns Hopkins University of Balti-
more, now professor of pathology at
Harvard, conducted the examination,
says the Hartford Conn. Times. Con-
sumption was found TO have been the
cause of death. The doctors decided
that Gumbo was about forty years old,
and that he had had the germs of
tubercular consumption of the slow
variety, which is disease the simis
are particularly subject to in this eli
mate.
One discovery was that of sort of
pouch or bag in the chest, in front of
the lungs and connected by means Of
an independent valve with the trachea
or windpipe. This is undoubtedly
the organ employed by the gorillas in
making their peculiar roar.
The brain weighed seventeen ounces.

however, broader st the base and mar

II IS no wonder then that tho name OF

Carlyle wasn't man of business,
but he would have made a success of

one finds these lines of solid business

A laugh is worth hundred groans

To succeed, work hard, earnestly

All honest men will bear watching.
1t is the rascals who cannot stand it.
Better have the window empty than
