Miss Nightingale's Good Work.

The now venerable Miss Nightingale,
whose state Of health did not permit of
her acceptance of the invitation to be
present at the recent dinner to the Bala-
klava veterans, has devoted much of her
time and energy for some years past to
the promotion of sanitation in North
Bucks, where she has been accustomed
to spend much Of her later life. She has
been the life and soul Of a movement
for bringing intelligence to bear on the
management of the home, and sanitary
matters generally, in a district where
such movement was greatly needed.
1t has been carried ON by the technical
education committee Of the Bucks coun-
ty council. but Miss Nightingale has
been the moving spirit, and very unos-
tentatiously has, in her declining years,
been continuing in this way the prac-
teal benevolence which so endeared her
to all English hearts in the Crimean
war.-London News.

A Mechanical Horror.

Machinery is a monthly journal pub
lished at Johannesburg, South Africa. It
has an account of a most remarkable clock
belonging to a Hindoo prince, which the
editor thinks the strangest piece Of ma
chinery in India. Near the dial of an or
binary looking clock is large gong hung
on poles, while underneath, scattered on
the ground, is pile of artificial human
skulls, ribs, legs and arms, the whole
number of bones in the pile being equal
to the number Of bones in 10 human skol-
etons. When the hands of the clock indi-
cate the hour Of /, the number Of bones
needed to form q complete human skeleton
come together with q snap. By some me-
chanical continuance the skeleton springs
up, seizes q mallet, and, walking up to
the gong, strikes one blow. This finished,
it returns to the pile and again falls to
pieces. When O'Clock, two skeletons get
up and strike, while at tho hours Of noon
and midnight the entire heap spring up in
the shape Of ~ skeletons and strike, each
one after the other, blow on the gong,
and then fall to pieces, as before.

How to Drape . window Curtain.

Fashion in window curtains is just as
capricious as in everything else, and not
only in the curtains themselves, but in
the way they shall be draped. She is
continually ordering different ways.
Sometimes they hang in straight folds,
again are tied back half way. They are
crossed at the top and then drawn
apart, and so Oh until the heart of the
woman who makes it her business to
keep up to date in everything fairly
sinks within her.
This season it seems to be understood
that artistic folds are the correct thing.
The curtain must be caught back far up
and then allowed to fall over the rib.
bon, band or cord that ties it. This rule
applies equally to silk or wash goods
and is certainly very graceful. Better
still, it can be accomplished by ones
own fingers, and there need be no long
waiting for an upholsterer to find time to
hang the curtain.-Philadelphia Times.

Of love at first sight-so he said. To be
sure, Mn. Kiefer was ten years older than
,her wooer and was not distinguished for
her beauty, but he was very ardent and
the widow was tired Of hard work. So she
listened to his tale Of love, especially when
he told her she would never have to work
again. They were married by an alder
man, but the affectionate groom thought
the ceremony should be supplemented
with church wedding.
II should like to get you q wedding

will you requiref"
Mrs. Kieffer slipped a heavy jeweled
ring from her finger and gave it to her
new made husband. Meyer never came
back, and Mrs. Kieffer's dream of life
without work was over. She was so in
censed against her deceiver that, when she
met him q few days ago, she promptly
caused his arrest, and his trial and convic-
ton followed.
