Hourglasses or sand glasses were for

for this purpose. These clocks consist of
two clocks, mounted ON common base,
which moves on pivot, the two clocks
therefore being on the arms of sort of

structed that when one clock is elevated
1t stands perfectly perpendicular, while
the depressed clock lies over mt an an

is so constructed that it only moves
when the clock is perfectly perpendiou-
lar it follows that when the upright
clock is going the depressed clock is at
rest.
Another and moro modern variety has
tho two clocks fixed on the Same level,
but with small brass arm reaching
from the top Of one to tho top Of the
other. This arm acts on IA pivot and can
be brought down into actual contact
with one clock at n time by touch of
tho finger. When it is thus in contact,
by an ingenious device the clock is stop.

Tho working of tho clock during IL

soon as he makes his first move, he stops
his own clock, either by depressing it

There was small need of speech In that
Sweet converse OF the blended way.

But helps me miss you everywhere.

With ether caught from heavens gold;

And then walson, starved and cold.

That outward leads from mortal ken

A Now Use for or.nces.

The housewives in Florida have
found new use for oranges. They
scrub the floors with them. Go into
almost any town in the orange-grow-
ing districts and you will see the
women using the luscious fruit ex-
actly as our housekeepers use soap.
They cut the oranges in halves and
rub the fat exposed pulp on the
floor. The acid in the oranges
doubtless does the cleansing, but at
any rate the boards are as white as
snow after the application. 1t is
thought that lemons would be better
than oranges for this purpose be-
cause of the additional acidity.

Masks are of very ancient origin.
In tomb 5000 years old, at Mycena,
DR.. Sohliemann found two bodies with
faces covered by masks of gold. One
of the masks represented the head Of
n hon. Among ancient Greeks the
lion mask was q sign of distinction.
With the Peruvians of old it was u
mark of royal lineage. In grave Of
considerable antiquity in Peru sill
yer mask was found on the head of u
mummy. The mummy of prince
who lived in the reign of Rameses IL,
discovered in q small vault at Mem
phis, in Egypt, had mask of gold
leaf over the face.

Liberal thinkers in the churches
tire having much pleasanter time
how than in the time of Bishop Co.
lenso thirty years ago. After the
Bishop published his book showing
that certain statements and figures in
the PeBtateuch were untrue he found
himself almost universally ostracised.
Men and women whom he had known
intimately from childhood refused to
speak to him. And so general was
the detestation of him that his laun-
dress in London refused any longer to
wash his clothes, because she lost
customers by coming in such close
contact with him.

more appropriately be called an ac-
cldent-which happened in an old
colony town whom the crinoline was
last permitted by the decree OF fash

that should ever become an elective

Boston Herald.
The art Of writing with ease and
effect is mastered by few small boys,
under the best conditions, and in this
school the training was not such as
to bring out any latent facility in
English composition. The task Of
writing compositions was looked
upon by the pupils, therefore, as an
irksome duty, and any expedient shat
promised assistance in the way Of
relieving their difficulties stirred up
no monitor OF reproach in their Ten
der and plant consciences.
In this depressing intellectual at
mo phere boy OF twelve was ordered
to write composition. 1t was TO be
read on the Friday afternoon follow

the assignment. Tho boy was ab-
solutely de,titute OF ideas. He

His industry was properly reward
