into six candles, each being twelve inches
long and each marked al every inch OF
length. Such a candle would burn for four
hours at tine AID the whole six would
thus keep record OF whole day. The
candle in the museum is aboat foot high,
OF a dull blush color and down its side
are the small dark btue marks at every
inch. 1t is not likely that this is one OF
those from the period of Alfred, though
it has so been asserted
After this period came the era of early
clocknlaking and in middle ages this art
was carried to great perfection. some
wonderful timepieces being made and
placed on the celebrated cathedrals. Then
came the watch and the collection OF these
is most interesting. There are also some
clocks made by the Chinese and the mechan H.
ism OF the machinery is as perfect as ours.
The museum also makes an exhibit OF
the different methods OF computing time
and shows that OF the Canadian Indians,
who stick a staff in the snow and mark
off the shadows cast. In the Assam hills
the natives reckon the hour by means OF
their famous hetel nut and count the dis
tance or hours by the amount OF nut which
they have Chewed. a gentleman in Chicago
has a collection OF watches which are
even more interesting than those OF the
museum Among these valuable timepieces
is a watch which was owned and carried by
Milton over 200 years ago and also one
that once belonged to the Marquis La
fayette.
Some Of the ancient clocks and watches
are still TO be CatalOgued aud IL will re-
quire a great deal OF study on the part of
the professors OF the Museum to place
them in proper chron illogical order.

withstanding the fact that seven brave
yonug men of New York have come out
for the eXtermi nation of trousers and
the substitution for them at all times
OF knee breeches or kuickerbockers, the
tailors of New York smile at what they
call a quIxotic effort, aud declare the re-
form, If reform it may be called, VIII
never come to pass The eminent architects
or New York simply ridicule the idea
that knlckerboCkers will ever supersede
trousers, either for general wear or dress
occasions Said Que Of them who constructs
costly masculine raiment in the heart of
New York's financial center:
Before you attempt TO put men into
breeches that will display the calves you
must get the right sort OF calves. 1t is
not every gentleman that has u calf he is
willing to show. 1t is an idea that Will
never be popular for the aditional rea-
son of the difficulty of dressing the upper
part of man artsticaliy or becomiDgly
whose lower eXtremities are fncased in
what You call kuickerbockers. The Nor
folk jacket, which has been i'll vogue for out
Ing parties year or two ago, was neither
becoming nor artistic, and it could not
endure. What is left TO take its place?
In England the thTee-buttoned sack coat
is worn, with baggy knee breeches and
thick stockings But no fat man, partic-
uIarly il he is short, can wear such cos
tune without looking like u barrel or a
beer keS set up on Il couple OF ten pins"
Mr.. Thompson, a Broadway tailor, Went
seriously into the discussion of the sub
ject expressing his full appreciation OF its
Importance
Now" said he, 'there's George Math-
Chicago, he's been trying To introduce knee
breeches and colored dress coats among
Chicago society men for several years aud
has always failed He has himself ap-
pcared at conventions of the trade in novel
and striking suits, but he has not succeeded
in making a revolution in mems cos
tunes AS for the adoption OF kuicker-
bockers In place of trousers or pautaloons
/ regard it as impossible With trousers
extending TO the inStep Of tn eshoe and
covering the heel poor man can wear
cheap and even darned stockings and So
shoes, aud still make good outward ap
pearance. but with the legs from the knees
down constantly n display, fine stockings
aud shoes would be almost necessity.
Another Broad way tailor who makes
clothing for men who are not particular
about the cost, says three years ago a club
was formed ia New York to introduce
knee breeches aud silk stockings with
evening dress. He made satin knicker-
boCkers for each OF them. but they never
wore them outside OF the gatherings or
their own particular set aud seemed
ashamed Of them even there.

PLUCK SAVED HER LIFE.
Thrilling Position From Which a
woman Extricated Herself.

Thrilling Position From Which a
t' woman Extricated Herself.
One of the pluckiest things which man
who has Travelled all overthe world says that
be ever saw was the act OF a woman whom
he never spoke to or ever saw near enough
to know whether she was old or young.
1t was out in California canyon on warm
summer afternoon, and he was driving
Slowly up a steep mountain road. On one
side was a wall OF Iock and on the other the
pIecipice fell off into d valley perhaps half
nile wide. Across this valley " as another
Toad just like the one lie was travelling
steep, winding and pIecipitOus, and so mar
Tow that no teams could pass except in
carefully prepared spots. On the other
road, going slo WY up, just as he was, hesaw
another wagon, the horses driven by
woman, who was alone. AS the wagons
cTawled slowly up, suddenly the man heard
a shaIp, quick sound that somehow startled
him. He turned and saw, to his horror,
tearing down the steep ascent, atTull gallop,
pair OF powerful horses attached to 9
heavy wagon, such as the Mexicans use to
draw wood in Down they came straight
toward her, as fast as they could come
a moment mole, and sudden destruction
would be upon her.
The gentleman had opened his lips to cry
out. Half mile of valley separated him
from the woman. He could only sit, frozen
with terror, aw aitlng the end. The woman
had stopped heI team and sat as if petri-
fled 1t was impossible to tuIn around
OF even to turn out.
Suddenly, to his unutteIable amaZement,
the watcher saw the womandeliberatelyr
in heI seat, raise her arm and fire. There
was flash, a puff of smoke, report, and
simultaneously the outer OF the two frenzied
horses tumbled, fell and pitched headlong,
dragging his companion and the wagon over
into the gorge below.
All this had passed in a flash. The
watcher, stupefied and gasping, sat gazing
at the valley, into the depths OF which the
mad vision had disappeared. Then he
looked at the mountain opposite. The mar
Iow road was perfectly Tree, the air was
as still as befOIe, the silence unbroken,
and the team with the solitary woman was
quietly winding up the load again.
1t was u cool and rarely brave act. An
instant S indecisi0n the trembling of n hand
would have been fatal; but both brain and
hand were under absolute control. In nine
cases out OF ten it is not the danger which
kills us, but we who-COwaIdlyC commander
succumb without a suuggle.-Youths Com
