Bad management keeps more people
in poor circumstances than any other
one cause. To be successful one must
look ahead and plan ahead so that
when a favorable opportunity presents
itself he is ready to take advantage
of it. A little forethought will also
save much expense and valuable time.
a prudent and careful man will keep
a bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, ChOle-
ra and DiarrhOea Remedy in the house,
the shiftless fellow will wait until ne
cessity cOmpels it and then ruin his
best horse going for a doctor and have
a big doctor bill to pay, besides; one
pays out % cents, the other is out a
hundred dollars and then wonders why
his neighbor is getting richer while
he is getting poorer. For sale by all

An Interesting Clock.

A most interesting old time-piece is
the clock standing in William the
Fourth's bedroom at Hampton Court,
and which Messrs. Gaydon & Sons, of
Kingston, were recently commissioned
to repair.
The clock was made by Dan Quare
about the year 1860, and is one of the
most remarkable pieces of automatic
mechanism in existence. 1t is what
is commonly known as grandfather
clock" standing in a very tall oak
case, with heavy ormolu mounts.
There are several particulars in which
this clock is almost, if not quite
unique. In the first place it goes for
twelve months at a time without
winding. But more remarkable than
this is its ingenious mechanism. 1t
is what is known as a calendar"
clock, and besides recording the days
of the month and the months OF the
year, it also automatically shows the
time of sunrise and sunset.
The last time the clock was over.
hauled was early in the present
century. For the last forty years,
however, the clock had not been
wound up. 1t speaks we'll for the
splendid workmanship of our an
cestors that, with slight exceptions,
Messrs. Gaydon found the works in as
perfect condition as when the clock
was originally made, and there is no
reason why it should not last for an
other 200 years.-London Mail.

Values Fictitious,

The values of enormous diamonds
are largely fictitious. They are ac.
tually uncommercial. The Koh-i-noor
weighed nearly 800 carats when it was
taken out of the mines OF Golconda,
and the sum of 10000, 900 has been
mentioned as a justifable price for it,
on the scale employed in the trade.
Hortensio Borghese reduced it in cut.
ting to 279 carats, and it had to be
again cut to 1921. The Pitt diamond
was sold to the King of France in 1920

sat down in the nearest chair and
stared at the big hole in the wall from
which the money had fallen. 1t must
have been lying on the table that day
so long ago, and when the earthquake
that damaged Quin Leng's godown
had occurred, the table had probably
ripped slightly away from the wall,
and tilted up as the floor settled. The
silver and other things must have
poured down into the space thus
opened, which had closed up when
the convulsion was over, and buried
the dollars and Miguel's good name
in a common grave for all these years.

The complete destruction OF all dis.
ease causing microbes Is, OF course,
the aim of modern methods Of sewage
treatment and disposal, aud in q
method recently devised calorifc
sterilization is added to the ordinary
processes. The treatment consists
essentially in allowing the sewage to
flow into tanks which are subdivided
in such manner that the liquid
passes through restricted passage,
where it comes in contact with a cur.
rent of air under pressure. In its
passage through the various cells the
solid matter is deposited in a number
of pockets, from which it is subse.
quently taken to be dried and burned.
The distinctive feature OF the process
occurs in the next operation, where
the liquid, after having been mixed
with alkali, passes through series Of
heat exchanges, in which it cools and
is itself heated by liquid previously
acted upon. From the heat ex.
changers the liquid next passes to the
sterilizers, where it is heated and
propelled through coils by means Of
steam jets to another vessel. Thela
stage in the treatment consists in its
passage under a sludge-drying plat.
form to a settling-tank, and its exit
through filters in pure and whole.
