ANCIENT CLOCK.

Evanston has a clock tina licked away
the hours during the revolution, and at
this late date refuses to take a back seat
for the town chronometer of any other
timepiece in the North Shore suburb.
The veteran ticker belongs to Mr.. and
Mrs. w. E. Mariner. No. 1913 Chicago
avenue. and around it's tall cherry wood
case and faded dial clusters a wealth OF
romance. Most of it's life of usefulness
was spent in the spacious hall of a Ken
lucky mansion. During the days when
Daniel Boone and James Harrod blazed
the way among the forests of the Cher
Okee it was one of the great wOnders Of
the country about Carlisle, Ky. It was
still there when the armies of the north
and south fought. and it's old leaden
weights were carried off by the invaders
to r%eplenish their failing bullet pouches,
says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
The old clock has been ticking away
for so much longer than a hundred years
hat it has forgotten when it passed this
milestone. Its present owners are also
doubtful about this point. but make up
for this with the reverence with which
they regard their treasure.
One point Mrs. Mariner is positive
about. and that is. her grandfather"
clock. or. rather. her great-grandfather.

mellow whiskey. It's case Of polished

is beautifully stained by age. and 100
years later attracts as much
as it did when it was first brought to
Kentucky and the backwoods neighaOOrs
came from miles around to see Colonel
Ogden's clock. Surrounding the state
ly cabinet Of cherry wood is an ornament
shaped like an urn and flanked by a
wing on either side. On the while enamel
dial i sthe emblem of a Masonic society,
from which Colonel Ogden received the
time-piece as a mark Of distinction n
esteem. The colOrs are pale, but the
American eagle is still spreading his
wings. M in his talons he grasps a
bunch of arrows.
Every wheel. pinion and pin OF he
clocks works is made of bass wood. No
metal or spring of any kim is used. Only
the chain and weights are of brass and
lead. The original weights, which were
taken during the civil war. were replaced
at the time by the household slaves with
tin canisters filled with sand. The old
canisters remain but shot has taken the
place of sand. The weights are suspend
ed on chains. having a fall Of four feet.
and require a daily winding.
The abinet work on the case is per-
feet. and the old pendulum swings in
stately measure. too old to hurry and too
to rest. The Joining OF the case shows
it is made of many small pieces OF weed.

DEAD MEN AFTER BATTLE.

Surgeon General Mackinnon was one Of
the first of the Crimean warriors to enter
the Sedan after it had been evacuated
by the Russians. The first thing he saw
was a Russian soldier Sitting on a gabion.
His arms were folded across his chest.
and he appeared to be sleeping. but he
was dead, with a rifle ball imbedded in
his left breast. There was nothing to
show whether he had sat down on the
gabion after he had been shot, or wheth-
er he happened to be sitting there when
he was killed.
Dr.. Rossbach, of W~urzburgh, tells of a.
soldier who was killed as he was raising
a cup to his lips. The fragment of a shell
tore off his skull. leaving nothing but the
lower jaw. And he was found twenty
tours hours afterward in a half sitting
position, still holding tn e cup with his
unsupported hand raised UP to his head
less lower jaw.
Nolan, in the celebrated charge of the
Light Brigade at Balaclava. rode for
some time, sword in air, a Veritable head
| less horseman.
\ British soldier, in the Transvaal
searching for missing comrades after the
Zulus had disappeared. found one man
kneeling behind the outer defenses with
his rifle to his shoulder and resting on
t he parapet as if he was taking aim. He
touched him on the shoulder. asking him
why he didn't come inside. He fell over.
| He was dead.

adversary's breast, for several days.

OLDEST TREE IN THE WORLD.

The town Of Kos. the capital of the
small Turkish island OF that name lying
on the coast ,of Asia Minor. possesses the
Oldest tree in tine world. Under it's
shade Hippocrates inculcated his disciples
in his methods and vfeWs concerning the
healing art 1900 years ~ Tradition
carries the age of the tree back to the
time of Aesculapius (Of whom Hippo
crates was lineai descendant). which
would add some 400 years to it's age. A
great part Of the trunk Is built round.
and there is q fountain known as Hippo
cratas.s Fountain. The circumference A0f
the trunk lis 80 feet. and there are two
main lower branches. which are supports

THE RENDERS OF SANTA CLAUS.

that the scheme is a good one and the
importation OF deer is O a regular
event. At present there are several
hundred of them scattered. about the
country and an effort is being made to
teach the natives to drive them. To do
this several families of ~Laplanders, the
best reindeer drivers in the world, have
been brought to Alaska and they are
finding plenty of assistance from the
E,squimau so that it will not be long be-
tore there are as many skilled drivers
IN the territory as can possibly be require
ed.
Those who are acquainted with the
reindeer, however, have questioned the
wisdom of the government in importing
all it's animals. They claim that the
splendid reindeer to be found in great
nerds on our own continent might better
be used than to spend so much time and
money in the importation Of inferior ami
mails from Europe and Asia. OF cOursc
such a scheme would take time. 1t would
necessitate the breaking II the training
eff the deer and that is something that is
not done III a day. The tanning must be
ibesun with the faWnS wilci they are not
more than three or four months Old, and
and it would be at least two or three years
Ibefore they would be strong enough to be
put to the hare work of sledging. AS the
; deer that are imported are brought here
full grown they are trained to the work
required of them and are therefore more
acceptable for present needs. If there
was any longsightedness on the part Of
the government, however, they would be
regarded as nothing more than a make
Shift and ther would be some definite
effort shoWn in bringing about the tam
ing and training of our own reindeer.
If such an animal could De properly
tanned and trained he would be an ideal
carrier for he is extremely fleet of foot
and is possessed of great endurance. His
gait is a long. swinging trot, which sell
dom breaks into run, although he can
run if occasion requires. A large bull
; will measur folly twelve hands at the
shoulder and his horns, which, unlike
those of the deer. are found on both male
and female, are large and branching.
They are shed very early in the year,
usually in September, while it is nm
for other deer to keep their horns until
after Christmas.
) Like all other animals in the northern
latitude the reindeer's coat hanges from
| season to season. In the summer it is a
dark brown but in the winter it becomes
a light gray or grayish white. The hoofs
of the caribou are also differnt from those
of any other member of the deer family.
They are large inc spread side,wise when
the weight is rested unon them, thus
leaving a peculiar imprint upon mud or
| snow.

went slowly away, returning as the girl
began her singing. Six times Miss Green
repeated the experiment. and each time
as she sang the rat trotted toward her
and fixed his attention upOn her. only to
back away gradually as she ceased.
Miss Green SANG all the songs she could
remember of the pleasure of the rat, and
then procuring a stick and continuing her
song she walked straight to the rat and
killed it. The rat made no attempt to
get away, but looked fixedly at the singer
as she struck him.
