MEASURING TIME.

Sand registered the hours during the dark ages. For this purpose black marble dust, boiled nine times in wine, was favorite recipe with learned monks. Water clocks were employed at all times.
 In Germany a clock has been made that is warranted to go for 5000 years. A fanciful idea was to make the open ing of the hall door partially to wind the clock; thus each arrival must help to keep it going.
 St. Simon relates that M. de Niilayer had a clock placed near his bed, the dial of which was horizontal and the figures, being hollow, were filled with different sweets or spices. Thus, run ming his finger along the hand, by tasting, he could tell the hour without light

ONE portion of Maj. Gen. Woods testimony betor the war investiga- ton commission has not received the attention it deserved. Know ing that Gen. Wood was physi- cian-he was the Mckinley family doctor when he was appointed Colonel of the Rough Riders-the commission expected to get some valuable testimony as to whether Shatter's army had enough medi, cines, but they concluded not to ask any more questions when c Gen. Wood, in reply to one about whether lack of medicine had in- creased the sufferings of the soldiers, said it was a matter of opinion, and added: 'I never take medicine myself"

A SAD AFFAIR.

Charlie Cline Accidentally Shoots and
Kills George Deitz Marriage of a
Young Man of Burke to a Catawba
Girl.
Hickory Times-Mercury, Nov. 1st.
Messrs. Peter Hunt and J. ]. Hefner,
who are at work saving lumber at
Worry, spent Saturday at home with
friends.
Married, Sunday evening, October
10Th, at the residence of the officiating
clergyman, Rev. A. L. Grouse, Miss
Lizzie Marrow, of this township, to
George Houk, of Burke county.
One of the saddest affairs that ever
occurred in Hickory, was experienced
here Saturday evening about 5 O'Clock.
Charlie Cline, Is years old, shot and
killed George Deitz, son of John Deitz,
aged about IS years. It was purely
accidental, and should be a perpetual
warning to boys and others against
the careless use of guns and pistols.
It occurred at the home of the deceased.
George had been down street and lac
just gone home, and it happened while
he vas going from the gate to the
porch. Charlie had borrowed a single
barrelled shotgun INC had stopped in
at Deitz's, and was sitting on the porch
and was unbreeching the gun when it
accidentally fired the fatal shot.
George was in about two or three steps
of the gun when it fired. The load
took effect just below the heart, tear
ing a hole in which you could thrust
your three fingers. He fell and died
suddenly, without a murmur or strug-
gle. Cline took it so hard till he had
to be taken home. A great many ran
to the scene, and great sympathy is
manifested here by everybody, both for
the family of the deceased and for
Cline and his family. 1t was, indeed,
a sad affair.
