Only the Clock stopped.

Don't you suppose it's the weather.
Ezra?" said Mrs. Billtops, looking up
from her sewing at Mr. Billtops, who
had just started up the clock that stood
on the mantlepiece, and who had Won
dered as he shook it why it had stop
ped. The minute she spoke Mr.. Bill
tops wondered why he hadn't thought
of that himself, and he proceeded to
say that he thought 1t was very like
ly; that the clock needed oiling any
way; that it had got kind O. gummy
and sticky, and the fall in the tenn
perature was just enough to harden
that gummy stuff around the bearings
and stop it.
Mrs. Billtops didn't say anything to
this; she just let him go on and talk;
in fact, she rather liked to hear him
talk; and as for herself, she was sat
sfied to be the one that made the
wheels go round without insisting on
being seen at the crank.
But after the talk was all over she
wound the clock.

Billions of Tons of oxygen.

Persons who happen to be incon-
yenienced by dearth Of anxieties are
invited to agitate their spirits by con-
temptation of the prospect of short
age of oxygen in the atmosphere. 1t
seems that there are well-informd
persons, Lord Kelvin among them.
who find reason to believe that this
calamity is impending. The figures
(estimated) in the case are that the
world uses annually six and half
billion tons of oxygen for breathing
purposes, and nearly half as much for
fires. This is big consumption. To
repair it we rely on vegetation, which
we are pretty constantly restricting.
So we use more and more oxygen all
the time, and make less and less. No
wonder Lord Kelvin says the earth
is undergoing "a steady loss of oxy-
gen."
AS yet, though the atmosphere does
not show it, and it may be a few thou
sand years yet, before the difference
will be measurable. To the short
sighted the prospect may not seem
distressing, but folks who need anx-
ieties should not neglect this one,
since, after all, in anxieties and an
cestry and such things little re-
moteness does no harm.

Doing Good.

Goodness Is an attribute that is no,
only resident of the soul, but its
quantity and quality are determined
by its manifestations. 1t cannot live
unless it does-it must be doing. Nor
does 1t wait the bidding Of those who
crave its display. 1t asks permission:
it seeks opportunities. We all pray
that we may be good, but what Is our
motive? Is it simply that we may en-
Joy it ourselves? 1t is "a delightful

How Chickens Saved a stcere's Life

On Oct. 20 last, James Houck, Vice
Bank of Frederick, Nd, advertised
that young steer had strayed away
from his farm, tenanted by Harlan
Ramsburg. Nothing was heard Of
the animal and it was given up for
lost, until Feb. s, one of the colored
men noticed several hens frequently
going in hole in straw stack in
the barnyard Thinking they had a
nest, he crawled in about fifteen feet
in search of the eggs. He came out
much quicker than he had gone in, de-
c!aring the stack was haunted, as
man was sent in to investigate and
he came out eXclaiming that some
thing was alive in there, as he felt a
hairy leg, and it had also kicked his
hand.
An investigation was then made and
a large hole cut in the straw stack,
when the missing steer was actually
found under the straw, where 1t had
been imprisoned for ninety-nine days
without food or water excepting the
straw which it had subsisted on, as
it had made a hole about ten feet
square in the stack. The hands on the
place now recalled the fact that on
the second days threshing they had
observed the steer standing against
the stack which had been made the
first day and saw the straw falling
over the animal, but thought it had
moved away. When rescued it was
very weak and emaciated, but is doing
very well now, being fed on boiled

MUZZLED DUCKS.
Sot Because They Might. But to Silence
Their Quacking.

SOt Because They Might But to silence
Their 0uacking.
A baggageman on the Santa Fe, who
runs into Kansas City from out in the
western part of Kansas, has lost lots
of sleep. 1t is doubtful if he can ever
catch Up with 1t. He leaves Hutch
inson at night and reaches Kansas
City in the morning. Nearly every
night he brings in his car two or three
coops of live domestic ducks. During
the night, when he has no baggage to
deliver at small stations, 1t has been
his habit and privilege to lie down
on an improvised couch and doze.
ing stopped. The almost constant
quacking of the ducks, who could not
understand their strange environment,
would not permit of sleep.
For many nights, as he lay awake,
he planned relief. He thought of
strangling the ducks or chloroforming
them. But neither expedient seemed
good. One night bright idea came
to him. After he had put it into exc
cution the ducks were silent.
The next night he had two coops
Of unusually vociferous ducks. AS
soon as it came time for sleep he
wrenched slat froin one of the coops,
reached in, and pulled out duck.
From his pocket he took small rub
Der band. which he slipped over the
ducks bill Just back OF the nostrils.
The duck tried to Quack, but the rub
ber band, while it stretched little,
would not permit the duck to open its
bill far enouuh TO use its tongre. Only
a murmur came from it. One by one
the ducks were mu2Zled, and the bag
gageman rested comfortably.
The commission men were surprised
next morning when they received lot
of ducks with rubber bands around
their bills, and when the bands were
removed the sho, IS of protest from
the ducks were deafenlng.

ODD GERMAN CUSTOM.

Their Treatment of Women in strong Con-
trast With the American Custom.
The generosity, as entertainers, with
which Americans treat women is in
strong contrast with the custom of
Germans. In their own country they
have no hesitation in intimating to
their female companions that they are
expected to pay their share. In Ger
many, if a mans feminine partner at
cream, he will bring it with de-,
mand of Forty pfennige, if you
please" An instance is narrated in
the New York Sun in the experience
of some Englishwomen at Prussian
military ball given by the officers Of
a certain garrison. The price of the
supper was printed upon the invita-
ton. The Englishwomen expected
that the officers who accompanied
them would pay for the refreshments.
They were quickly undeceived, for,
after supping, the money was demand
ed, and they were compelled to liqui-
date the debt. A Frenchman, on the
other hand, IS extremely punctilious
in not permitting woman to pay for
anything while she is in his charge;
in fact, he is apt to oyerstep the
bounds of delicacy in his empresse-
ment. Woe to him, however, who in
yites ladies to dine at a fashionable
French restaurant and through care
lessness has not the wherewithal to
pay for the meal. 1t is in such an
emergency that the brutality and in
science of the French restauranteur are
completely revealed. In New York.
in such a case, in restaurants of the
higher class, the word or signature Of
a visitor, if he be well-appearing. will
usually be accepted.
