Can Be strapped TO the Ears Like q
Telephone Receiver.
A new telegraph Instrument, known
as a Morse Watch," has been put on
the market. Outwardly It looks like
an ordinary timepiece, but In reality It
is a transmitting and receiving tele-
graph instrument key and a sounder,
inclosed In an ordinary watehcase.
This type Of instrument, says Elec

click is tnaudible unless the instrument
Is held In contact with the ear.
The Morse watch Is accompanied
with a suitable flexible head band to
fasten the instrument IN place on the
head over the ear, leaving both hands
free for transcribing messages or other
work. It also has a very neat silk con
Quoting cord, with specially designed
terminals. so that the instrument can
be conveniently and quickly attached
to or disconnected from the ordinary
instrument Of a telegraph line.

on which bees are often found gather
ing the juices is done by wasps. though
many kinds of grapes have tender
skins, which are cracked either by
bursting of the sap from inside or by nc
cidental injuries. Honey bees not only
do not but cannot puncture them. On
the contrary, what they do for the in

exuding juices ana thus help to pre-
vent It from decaying so fast as it

Running a Farm.
When I was young at farming,

And quickly 90 to wishing
For good, big, rousing crops.

All others to outweigh;
In short, l took to nothing
But wishing all the day.

In every wish would Turk,
Till dreaming speculation
Seemed surer than hard work.
! wished my cellar full Of
Potatoes with a will;
! wished the granary grooming
With corn to 90 to mill.
While other farmers wished for
A good supply Of rain,
thought it as sound logic
To wish for fruit and grain
And so l went on wishing, -
Contented with my lot,
In autumn no potatoes
Were boiling in my pot.
I tell you I'd discovered
That wishing only breeds
Keen disappointment; wishing
Won't pull up choking weeds;
It won't hoe corn in summer,
Or husk It in the fall;
! tell you, boys, that wishing
Won't run a farm at all.
That winter my potatoes
had to go and buy
Right from my smiling neighbors,
Who had good supply.
They'd slyly nudge their elbows,
And taunt me with a laugh,
That labor's wheat that's golden,
And speculation chaff.
I learned this goodly Lesson
And In my heart il seems
One day Of honest labor
Is worth ten years Of dreams.
And now IN idly wishing,
My duty ne'er l shirk;
But just roll up my shirt sleeves,
And ike a beaver work.
