A Clock That Ask. to De Wound

A scientific exchange contains an &C.
count Of recently patented Invention
which may prove TO be something more
than a toy, since clock which will re-
mind its owner that il needs to be
wound up may some time save him
from missing train, on the taxing OF
which important interests depend.
1t is fairly easy to remember to wind
q clock or watch which must be
wound every "a hours, because the
mind falls readily into diurnal habit.
To get the mind into regular seven
or eight day cycle of habit is not so
easy. and not infrequently it happens
that the clock is forgotten on Saturday
night, or Monday morning. or at what
ever hour and day family custom has
assigned TO the winding, Then the clock
stops, and everything in that house.
gangs aglee.
Perceiving this fact, Pennsylvania
inventor has patented very simple de-
vice, which. when clock has gone on
n certain stage in its seven day ca
reer. releases an indicator, at other
times concealed, and this indicator falls
so that it comes prominently into view
through an orifice. On it are the words,
please Wind.
This is direct reminder which can
hardly be overlooked When the clock
is wound. the indicator disappears I'M

Presidents Mckinley and
Cleveland.

In one important respect President
Mckinley and eX-PreSident Cleveland
differ in their conceptions of an adj
ministration. Cleveland assumed pol
icy on his own responsibility. If it
succeeded, to him was the credit, and if
it failed it involved his own failure. He
placed it in antagonism to congress
and the people. OF its results every ill
telligent man can Judge. If Mckinley
had any distinct policy in the beginning
he concealed it. Whatever his idea of
the great detection of the country from
a course pursued for a century may have
been it is evident that he went slowly
and did not lead the people into it. He
simply moved deliberately along in the
movement carefully observing the trend
of public opinion. He did not lead the
movement but adapted his administra-
ton to its irresistible current. If he had
antagonized congress or those public de-
signs and purposes he would only have
confused and impeded their accomplish
ment. Now it must be frankly con-
coded in all candor that the one policy
more resembles an attempt to exercise a
one man power and the other of permit
ting the will of the people to run the
country. And which is which it is very
easy to discover. In any event President
Mckinley is with the people to all in
tents and purposes, and if the present
harmonious movements continue he will
surely be tenant in the White House
for second term on the same conditions
in which he occupied it the first, and il
the end will vindicate the theory thai
the president is made by and for the
people and not the people for the presi
dent.

borrowed plumage in the burrows he
had made. The experiment is said to
have been successful.
