A Strange Clock.

A strange clock was made during
the last century for a French noble
nan The dial was horizontal, and the
figures, being hollow, were filled with
different sweets or spices. Thus, run
ming his finger along the hand, by
tasting, the owner could tell the hour

East Of Chicago Doesn't Count.
When l was in Chicago in 1877 it
was the metropolis of the west with
out qualification. Now it is merely
the frontier city Of the middle west.
From the point Of view OF Dmaha and
Denver 1t seems TO till the eastern
horizon and shut out the further view.
Many stories are told to show how
absolutely and instinctiveiy your true
westerner ignores the eastern states
and cities. Here is one Of the mos,

Died Cured.

In some parts Of Italy bleeding is
still considered a sovereign cure for
all kinds of sickness. 4 story is told
of q mother who protested against the
bleeding Of her sick child. The doctor
assured her that n more application
OF the cups would insure recovery, but
when he came the next morning he
found the child dead. Madam" said
the doctor, "be comforted by knowing
that your child died cured"

n Gets Longer and Longer. and He Cana
Stop 1t.
A man ont at Rogers park broke his
leg few months ago, and in the setting
the doctor made some mistake, or else
the patient was at fault for when it set
the bone Joined improperly, and when
the man came to walk he found that
one leg was several inches shorter than
b should be. He was naturally very
much inconvenienced and bemoaned the
fact that he was to be a cripple for life.
One day while he was alone at the
house woman book canvasser was ad-
nitted. After she had failed to sell him
what she had she asked him what the
matter was He told her and said that
be feared he would be cripple for life.
"Huinphl" said the woman. There
is no need Of that now since Christian
science is doing SO much"
81 have heard great deal about
Christian SCIENCE" said the man. "but
never heard that it could cure trou-
BILE like mine. -
"Why not?" asked the woman. "It
is doing greater things than that every
day. You would better go see healer" ="
"But there is none here, replied the
"Well, said the woman, "I'm some.
thing Of healer myself. can't stay
here, but I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll
give you the absent treatment. You just
stay where you are, and I'll cure your
short leg" And she went away.
The man smiled, but he thought there
might be something in it after ALL So
be began to have faith in the healer. In
. few days, however, he had almost for
gotten all about it and joked with his
wife about the matter. At the end Of
two weeks he arose to q standing posi-
tion and discovered to his great aston
ishment that his short leg was nearly
- long as the other. He was delighted.
"That woman was all right, he said
TO his wife, "and I have done her q
great injustice in smiling in my disbe-
hef." In q fortnight more both legs
were of equal length. He left his room
for the first time in several months and
went to business. He proudly showed
his leg to all his friends and told every
one Of the marvellous means by which
be recovered. Everything went we'll
for time, but presently the man made
the astonishing discovery that the cured
limb was still growing. In another two
weeks it was fully two inches longer
than the one which had not been broken
and that it was the veil leg on which
he now limped.
This naturally worried him very
much. You see, there was no telling
where it would end. Then he recollect-
ed, too, that he had no idea who the
healer was, or where he could find her.
He could not even remember the name
Of the book she was trying to sell. And
that is how the matter now stands. The
mans leg is still growing. That woman
ls still gadding around the country SELL
ing books and giving him the absent
treatment. If he does find her, she will
have to begin on the other leg, and even
then the man will only be fit for the
dime museum. The mans faith in the
new science is still unbroken, but he
feels that the healers should be securely
anchored and kept within certain
bounds. Chronicle.

Democratic Discomforture.

MANY of the democratic organs of
the state are much exercised over
the fact that large numbers of the
silver republicans are returning to
the old party. They accuse the
silver men of all kinds of insin-
certify, but their abuse will avail
them not. The turning down of
such men as Dubois, Cannon, Man
tie, Hartman and other silver men
of nqtional prominence, by the
democratic party, has had its eff
feet. The silver men have lost con-
fidenCe in the democracy. They
believe that the democratic party is
for silver in the silver states more
for the offices they can secure than
for the principle involved, and it
will be useless for Democratic or
gans to howl or protest. The YER
dict has gone forth. Confidence in
Democracy is lost. The tide has
turned and democratic majorities
in normal republican counties and
states is thing of the past. OF
course it is a bitter pill for demo-
cratic organs to hold up and con-
template, but silver republicans as
a rule will look upon their discom
future with the keenest satisfaction.
And if the silver republicans have
been used by the democracy as a
cats paw to pull their political
chestnuts out of the FIRE, they can
at least have the satisfaction OF
knowing that they have it in their
power to bury them in that grave
where all treachery and ingratitudt
is in the end consigned Silver re.
publicans are proud of their record
They have demonstrated their sin,
cerity by the political sacrifice:
made If they have failed they al
least have a clear conscience. AnC
as to their future course, they will
be guided by their same conscien
tious regard to duty as in the past
and if the democracy can get ne
comfort from that, and on the othel
hand can see only defeat staring
them in the face-well, then, they
will have a long time of quiet anC
repose in which to study homes
political ethics.
