CLOCKS OF BYGoNE DAYS.
Curiosities In the Museum of q Clock
Making village.

CurlOsittes In the Museum on q CLOCK
Making village.
In the town of Schramberg in the
Black Forest district OF Wurttemberg,
Germany, where one of the chief in
dustries is clock making, there has
recently been established an interest
ing museum of timepieces. The col
lection displays the gradual develop
ment in the making Of clocks for many
centuries.
Among the curiositcs are many OF
great historical value. There is an
alarm clock constructed in the year
1850 for the use of travellers. In form
1t resembles lantern and the interior
is designed to hold lighted candle.
The candle is slowly pushed forward
by n spring, which also controls the
mechanism of the clock. A little pair
Of shears clip the wick Of the candle
automatically every minute to regulate
it's light. The lantern is inclosed with
movable slides, so that the sleeper is
not at first disturbed by the presence
of light.
The alarm Is set by inserting a peg
In the second dial plate When the
required hour arrives, the alarm is
sounded and at, the same time the
movable slides fall, flooding the room
with light.
Among the curiosities is Japanese
saw clock. The clock itself produces
the motive power by descending q
saw formed strip of metal, the teeth Of
which operate the wheel Of the clock
work. In another Japanese clock the
hand is attached to q weight, which
sinks once in "a hours. The time is in
dicated by hand on the perpendicular
scale.-Chicago Times-Herald.

A Georgia widows Recipe For
bringing Up Her Sons.
During n visit to the army camp in
Savannah General Joseph Wheeler was
entertained by party of northern men
at the De Soto. When, in the good hui
NOR Of after dinner cigars, one OF the
men said laughingly:
How Is it, general, that the sleepy
farms of the south produce such whirl-
wind fighters in such small packagesW
"Well, gentlemen" said the little gen.
eral, putting at large mans cigar, Il
believe I'll have to give you the answer
an old cracker woman once gave me
when l asked her q similar question.
Not many years ago had occasion to
make a saddle journey through the
pine barrens of Georgia, where most
everybody is n cracker and mighty
shiftless. One day, however, 1 rode
into little community that showed
such signs Of thrift as to be quite out
of keeping with the general character
of the barrens, I do assure you, gen.
tlemen. I rode up to a cabin where a
gaunt old woman stood in the doorway,
and asked her who owned these little
farms that were SO well kept.
"'That farm on the left belongs to
my son JabeZ,' said she, and the next
one to my boy Zalim, and the next to
my lad Jason, and the next is my boy

Walking Correctly.

Many children are taught at home
and AT school to walk on their toes.
This will do in q sick room when one
has squeaking shoes, but it is not
natural or elegant. Put the heels
down lightly at first and the toes last;
this keeps the body erect, instead of
bending the body forward, as a per-
son must who walks on his toes.
Walking should be more thoroughly
taught in our gymnastic schools. 1t
costs little to learn to walk correctly,
and it is well worth while to spend a
little time to acquire the ,art.-New
York Telegram.

Balloons In n Storm.

Mr.. Carl r. Myers, the aeronaut, in
discussing the question of aerial navi-
cation, points out one great advantage
of the ballon over the aeroplane. The
latter cannot stop or hover In the air
and il caught in storm may become
helpless.
The balloon, on the other hand, while
1t cannot go against the wind, is safe,
even in tempest, provided no effort is
made to drive it In opposition to the
air currents. Even in a high wind the
balloon seems to the aeronaut to be be
Gained.
