Shortly after two o'clock the

Queer Timel1eepers.

To ascertain the time at night the
Apache indians employ a gourd upon
which the stars of the heavens are
marked. AS the consultations rise in
the sky, the Indian refers to his
gourd and finds out the hour. BY
turning the gourd around he can tell
the order in which the consultations
may be expected to appear. The hill
people of Assam reckon time and dis
tance by the number of guilds of betel-
nuts chewed. 1t will be remem bered

MILK PURIFIER.
Impurities Removed While tho Fluid Is
Still Warm.

Still Warm.
The invention of Scotch dairyman
is for the purpose of purifying and
aerating milk. This is an apparatus
adapted for purifying milk by the
process of eliminating from it all
taints and odors immediately after it
is drawn from the COW. 1t has been
found that milk so treated will keep
sweet for a greater length of time,
and will even Withstand the influence
of thunderstorms. To the cheese
maker this is a matter of special inn
portance, since first-class cheese can
not be made from tainted milk, while
in the case of milk for town supply
the preservation of its freshness
should prove of incalculable benefit
to seller and purchaser alike.
The appliance is extremely simple,
consisting of timed wire cloth so ar
ranged on stand that the milk flow
ing from the vessel above passes over
it, and gets broken into the finest
stream, thus allowing every part of
it to be treated by the atmosphere.
The aerator is equally useful to the
dairy farmer for the purpose of purl-
flying milk eparatory to cream rails
ing or separating, and it is desira BILE
to note that all milk should be aer-
ated before refrigerated, At present
the refrigerator is generally used to
cool impure milk, from which results
the fact that refrigerator milk goes
sour very quickly when brought to q
temperature exceeding 60 degrees.
This appliance is undoubtedly new
and valuable adjunct to the dairy.

There is little doubt that an i'm
mense number of persons habitually
sleep on the left side, and those who
do so can never, it is said, be strictly
healthy. 1t is the most prolific cause
of nightmare, and also of the unpleas-
ant taste in the mouth on arising in
the morning. All food enters and
leaves the stomach on the right side,
and hence sleeping on the left side
soon after eating involves sort OF
pumping operation, which is anything
but conducive to sound repose. The
action of the heart is also seriously
interfered with and the lungs unduly
compressed. Hence it is best to cul-
tivate the habit of always sleeping on
the right side, although Sandow and
other strong men are said to in
varia bly, sleep on their backs.

A DOUBLE PUPIL.
He Attended tho Same Glass Under Two
Names.

Names
This interesting story grew out Of
the fact that there was silent sylla-
BILE in the small Louisville boys
name, which the unknowing gener-
ally pronounced. The small boy
started Co q new school q little over a
month ago To the principal he
spelled out his name in full as his.
When he had been in class for several
days his teacher enrolled his name as
it was pronounced, for all the chill
dren called the boy by that name.
Every morning when she called the
roll she read the boys name as she
had gotten it from the principal and
as she had written it herself. She
thought the names belonged to differ
ent persons. The boy would answer
to both the names. The class was so
large that the teacher did not notice
her mistake for some time. 1t was
the same during recitations. The
boy had to recite for both names.
But all things have an end and the
conclusion to this peculiar case oc-
Cured several days ago. 1t was when
the reports of what each pupil had
done during the past month were
made out. The boys mother was
greatly surprised to receive two re-
ports of two different scholars. One
of the reports was made out in her
sons name in full, and the other in
the name of syllable short The
laughable feature of the case was
that the average in the report of the
shortened name was forty per cent in
excess of that received by the other.
The mother went to the school and
had an interview with the teacher.
The matter was finally explained to
the amusement of all concerned.
Now the boys say that his real name
is the short one. In explaining about
the average the teacher said when the
boy was called on to recite the second
time he probably became careless
since he had answered the questions
few minutes before, and that, there
fore, his average with the long name
was made lower.

Poor Uncle Berard died alone that
evening at O'Clock, without having
regained consciousness. The heirs
felt no fear about the will. The good
man had adopted his niece almost
from her cradle, had had her educa-
ted at convent with the daughters
of the nobility, and all his life had
worked to amass an immense dot for
her. He had hardly suffered from
her ingratitude. He was content to

OMCS Ill.,
Still. any one that was well ac'
quainted with him would see that he
was nervous from the way his fingers
tortured his eyeglass. 1t was the day
before the Grand Prix, and, nothwith-
standing Bakers confidence, our noble
sportsman felt anxious. True, Jaguar
was a splendid animal, and had shown
such splendid speed at Chantilly that
M. de Loyaumont was justified in ex-
pecting that tomorrow his horse
would take the lead from the start,
and keep to it, too. Still, the race
track holds so unexpected surprises
that he could not help feeling just
the least bit uneasy. His aristocratic
eyebrows drew themselves nervously
together as he heard slight knock
at the door of the smoking room.
"What is it, F'irmin?"
MADAME sends word to monsieur
lie comte that NJ. Berard was very i'll
last night"
M. de Loyaumont's noble eyebrows
contracted entirely as he drawled:
81 must see the horse first. After
that l will go to NJ Berard before
breakfast
He did not utter another word, for
he was too much put ont to trust him
self. When he had married M.
Berard's niece it was on condition
that her uncle should be ignored;
and now the tradesman, with the
irnpertinence of a millionaire, dared
to be i'll in his house-whom, very
impudently, he persisted in calling
''son-in-law." Nothing less than
Jaguar's excellent condition could
have put NJ. de Loyaumcrt in good
humor again.
AS he entered the dimly Lighted
stall Jaguar turned his head toward
the door and stretched out his muz-
zled nose, as though he were going
to bite. His master lovingly pas sed
his hands over the animals satiny
neck. The two resembled each other.
Both Enthusiastically showed race and
high breeding in their muscular ten
derness, grace of motion, and deli
cate frmness of limb. M. de Loyau-
mont passed the remainder of the
morning talking to the stableman,
and listening to the gossip of -he
jockeys about the rumors which
Jaguar's advcrsaries were spreading.
He had so completely forgotten Uncle
Berard's illness that he was fairly
startled when, without warning, Fir
min said to him, on his entering the
house.
IN. lie comte, it is stroke of apo
plexy."
Sure enough, when the count en-
tered the sick room, he found the in
valid stretched motionless on the
large canopied bed. His slvery hair,
cut close to his perfectly round head,
and the whiteness of the sheets, made
the naturally red face look purple.
His shirt was open at the throat re-
vealing a massive neck. The fat
body raised the blankets till they re-
sembled a huge eiderdown cushion,
while the sufferers hands lay inert
on the satin counterpane. The dying
plebeian business man seemed sadly
out of place in the gorgeous bed, and
his agony seemed TO be watched with
disgust by the powdered, wigged and
scarlet coated gentlemen whose por-
traits looked down from the high
walls upon the moribund stranger.
Disgust, also, was plainly written on
