. ,,,n With tho clock Fad.

The most ordinary circumstances
NAV lead to the development Of fad.
About ten years ago there died In New
York City a man who went by the
name of "the clock miser." At his
death he was living in an old, rickety
house, poorly furnished, with the ex-
ception of some 400 clocks. When the
man was young he was junior partner
in mercantile concern and was
Obliged to be at his desk promptly, SO
he bought Swiss clock and set 1t up
opposite his bed. Doubling its accur-
acy, he bought another clock Of Ger
man make and interested himself in
keeping them together, studying their
mechanism and the points Of differ
ence. From time to time he bought
other clocks and, ceaslng to care for
them for their real use, valued them as
curiosities and ornaments. AS years
passed the whim grew upon him and
finally he lost interest in everything
but his clocks, dropped his friends and
lived alone in the dingy house. with
his hundreds of ticking clocks for
company He talked to them as
though they were human beings.

TRAVELS OF A DIAMOND.

story of n Paris jewellers ExperA-
ence with Very Fine Stone.
Some years ago Paris jeweler told
a story of one diamond which hhd

and luster, but easily Identified by

Franco-Prussian war. The countess
died In few weeks, and the ring
was worn by her husband. he was
killed In the siege of Paris. and rev
days after his death the ring was
brought into the store for sale by
common soldier. He was arrested, and
the ring was sent to the family OF
the dead count. Before the siege end
ed they brought in the ring and SOLD
It to the dealer in order to procure
money to buy food. Directly after the
siege 1t passed into the hands Of an
English tourist who visited the city TO
get look at the ruin wrought by the
Communists. and year later Dack
came the stone from the Indian buyer
and desired to tell how he got 1t, stated
that it had been the property of an
English tolrIst hunter who was killed
by tiger, and his friends sold the
ring to get means to send the body
home. The stone was reset, and soon
found purchaser in n prominent mem
Der of the deni-monde, who not long
afterwartl was murdered In her room.
Among the articles taken by the muir
derer was the ring, and the firm be-
gan to wonder how soon it would turn
up. They had not long to wait, for all
their people had by this time learned
about the stone, and We're on the look
out for it. After six months it was
found in the showcase of a jeweler In
London, who had bought 1t from II
firm in Amsterdam. 1t was bought by
the Paris agent, and sent back to be
started afresh on its travels. 1t was
purchased again by a woman of the
town, who, six weeks later, was drawn
out of the Seine with the gem on her
finger, and, by strange coincidence,
it was offered to the firm that sold 1t
by the police agents, the court having
jurisdiction having ordered 1t to be
sold. And so it went from hand to
hand, attended with misfortune ut
every change and usually bringing
death to the pOssessor. Laborers In
the Golconda mines used to say that
when stone was baptized in blood
when first taken from the earth it
caused the shedding of blood wherever
1t went, and the story gees of one such
ill-omened gem goes far to confirm be-
lief in such uperstition.--Jewelers'

if the weather is very hot when they

before one retires. 1t is the habit of
many persons to eat soft-shell crabs at

dangerous to many to drink milk after
eating crabs. Milk seems to develop

would be criminal enough to cook n

proper way to kill n crab is to throw
him into IL kettle of boiling water. I
