Some modern inventions are a boon to
humanity and others are not. The phono-
graphic clock which has just been launch
ed upon the market in Germany belongs
to the latter category, says the New York
Sun. One must admit the alarm clock in
the theory of modern life, but a phono-
graphic alarm clock adds insult to injury.
If one must be Weakened, one must; but
how can one turn over and take the final
luxurious 40 winks when the depressing
programme of a busy day has been shout
ed into ones ears? Things that seemed
natural and practicable the night before
present an appalling front in the early
morning; and the breakfast hour, an
nounced in strident tones, is much more
inslStent than when suggested by an i'm
personal metallic clang
Some valuable possibilities the new in
vention does possess. The housewife
needn't laboriously explain breakfast de-
tails to the servant at night, and find the
next morning that all important points
have been conscientiously forgotten. She
sets the Photographic alarm for an early
hour, talks directions into it, and the next
morning the cook is Weakened by a stern
voice telling her exactly what is expect
ed of her in regard to breakfast prepare
ton.
Paterfamilias, too, can work the com
bination. No more will he sit up until his
pretty daughters caller goes home and
resort to time hinored hints to hasten the
departure He will not slam shutters and
noisily lock doors and bid the other mem
bers of the family good night at the top
of his voice and drop his shoes on the
bedroom floor with a force that shakes
the. parlor chandeliers and call down to
the daughter that she must be careful
about turning off the gas and locking the
door. He will never be goaded by sense
of parental duty into walking into the
parlor and making a scene and reducing
the daughter to a point of tears. Oh no;
he will simply set the Photographic alarm
for the hour when he thinks young men
should end their calls. Then he will 60
serenely to bed; and when the fatal hour
strikes a specimen of the old gentleman's
finest irony will be hurled at the offending
guest. Exit young man. The maiden
Wrathfully weeps alone.

Although there were seventeen families
in the house, Mrs. Elenor Reilly and her
black cat furnished most of the excite
ment at a S. 600 fire in the five-story ten
ement at 30 East Forty-fourth street re-
Gently, says the New York Sun. The fire
started III the rooms of Felix Heines, on
the fourth floor and was discovered by
Policeman Muldoon, of the East Fifty
first street station, who, after summon
ing the firemen, fastened back to the
house TO see that everybody got out safe
~. Every tenant was believed to be eth
er in the street or onathe roof of the ad-
joining house until Ms. Schultz and Mrs.
Whitehouse, who live on the fifth floor
and had been engaged in counting noses
gave a scream.
Mrs. Reilly's not here" walled Mrs.
Schultz.
She was in her rooms this morning"
declared Mrs Whitehouse She'll be
burned up, for she's on the same floor as
the fire"
Policeman Muldoon did not wait to hear
any more, but dashed into the smoky
halls and ran upstairs to Mrs. Reilly's
fiat. He found her wringing her hands
excitedly and calling for Tom.
Hurry up or you'll be burned" urged
Muldoon.
But I can't leave Tom behind" tear
fully declared Mrs. Reilly.
Where's TOMB asked the policeman.
He got scared and ran under the bed,
and now he won't come out" was the re-
ply.
Come out, Tom, you bad boy" shouted
the policeman, ''or you'll be burned 10
death"
And he's the dearest cat that ever liv-
ed interjected Mrs. Reilly.
''Cat!' roared Muldoon. "Cati Do you
mean to tell me that you have taken
chances of our being killed for a cat?
Hurry up and come with me. I'll get you
out"
Mrs. Reilly sat down determnedly.
You get that cat for me or I'll stay"
she declared. You can't carry me down
stairs
Muldoon sized up Mrs. Reilly and agreed
with her. He dived under the bed and,
after being well scratched, succeeded in
yanking out big black cat. Mrs. Reilly
seized 1T joyfully and FASTENED downstairs
with the policeman. Their escape would
have been cut off three minutes later, as
the staircase caught fire.

when they reached the sidewalk Taking
