The Dead Irishnan.

Some Irish body-snatchers had
rifed grave, and hid their booty in
a corner of the churchyard, when it
occurred to half tipsy fellow, who
had been watching them unobserved,
that it would be pleasanter to be
driven back to the nearest town than
to walk. He accordingly secreted the
dead man under hedge and lay down
in his place. He was duly transferred
to a cart; but, when about half the
journey was over, one of the men who
had touched his hand screamed to his
friend, Good Cod the body is
warm!' Hereupop, in a deep voice,
the supposed dead man remarked

TALKING clock.
The Latest EhGcavOr to Reuse Lazy Haa
in tbe N3ruing, q

III thc 1kITEtuS.
Quite the newest thing in London in
timepieces is the clock which annOunc-
es the hour in somewhat metallic,
but clear and distinct, voice.
1t is, of course. an ingenious cOmbi-
nation of the clock and the talking ma
chine. the latter acting by means of Il
simple connection with the works
above. Inquiries made by Daily Mail
representative of those in the trade
show that already several orders have
been received for clocks of that kind,
which, so lar. have been designed for
advertising purposes.
A few days ago Il firm in New Ok
ford street We're asked to manufacture
Il timepiece of this description for a
firm of patent becf-eXtract manufac-
turerS. The idea was to fix the clocks
in the various restaurants where the
beef-essence was sold, so that every
quarter of an hour an automatic figure
would appear in n small doorway and
roar out encOuragingly: "Now's the
time to drink our beef tea-threepcncc
q cup or words to that effec..
For the use of the private individual
the talking clock might be employed
with considerable effect as Il morning
call. If man wanted to be awakened
at, say. O'Clock. all he would have To
do would be to fix the attachment at
that hour, wind up the talking ma
chine, and retire TO rest, with every
confidence of something happening. If
everything went off nicely the room nj
Z A. NJ. would be filled with the strains
Of Hail. smiling MORN" or, in lighter
vein, Rise up, William Riley" which,
as an eye-opener. has seldom been ex.
| celled.
So far orders for private houses have
not been extensive. but the general
| opinion among members of the trade
Is that the cuckoo and the trumpetel
and the picOlO solo and the ornamental
chime and bells will soon give way Il
a clock that will fife oil instrumental
solos and funny stories whenever an,
one presses button.

A French contemporary srumbles be-

Rexraftins Young Orchards.

1t sometimess happens that the
farmer finds even before his orchard
gets TO bearing that large part OF the
trees ara OF varieties that will not give
him much profit. Regarding TO better
sorts is very laborious and expens-
i've process il the trees have grown to
nearly bearing size, because SO many
gratis must be set to make an even
head. A few sprouts may be left be-
low the gratis to draw the sap, but
they must be cut away as soon as the
gratis get to growing. 4 better way
is to take a few years to do the graft
ing, putting in two or three gratis
each spring, until the entire head is
changed. So much cutting away OF
the top wood will cause many sprouts
to start. These must be destroyed
