No Use For Clocks.

A traveller in Alsace relates that one
day he came by chance to the little village
of Kirchberg. AS he approached the
church he glanced up to SEQ the time OF
day, but there was no clock to be seen. So
he went to the village in and asked the
time, but the landlord had no clock or
timepiece of any kind. "You see," no
said, 1--WE have no use for clocks. In the
morning we go by the smoke rising from
the chimney at the parsonage up on the
hill Tho parsonage people are very regu-
lar. We dine when dinner is ready. At
D. m. the whistle Of the train coming
from Westminster tells us that the time
has como for another meal, and at night
we know that it is time to go to bed when
it is dark. On Sundays we go to church
when the bel rings Our parson is a very
easy going man. He doesn't mind begin

Johnnie noticed on numerous occasions
that Mr.. Fields friends looked astollished

1t Was Too conscientious For This
Wicked, Wicked World.
This is French story-of Louis Blanc,
who, as the world knows, was the most
uncompromising man in the world and
half bis life in prison because he would
say what he thought was right, regardless
Of consequences to himself. In one of the
brief intervals when he was out Of prison,
and when his popularity ran high, .
paper, lHomme Libre, was started for
him. He was made the sole responsible
head of it. One day he took the paper up
as soon as it came out, and his eye hap
ment, which read thus:
"The best pills are ks pills"
Blanc called his secretaire de Ia Fedac-
manager as the paper had, showed him
the lad. and said to him:
"Don't you think we are taking good
deal on ourselves in making that saaae-
mentp"
"why, what do you mean, sir'" the
man asked puzzled
"How do you know that ks pills
are better than anybody's else's pillss"
demanded Blanc. "Have you taken them
allp'
"No, SIR"
"Then what justification have we in
attempting to guarantee the superiority
of one kind of pills."
"But it's an advertisement, and all pa
pers do the same"
"What all papers do is no guide to us.
Let us mako no statement that we are not
perfectly sure of. Let this statement not
appear again!"
The advertisement did not appear
again-nor for that matter did any adver-
tisements appear very long in the paper.
Conducted on so careful basis l'Homme
Libre proved too bright and good for hui
man natures daily food. But it died a
beautiful death. Boston Transcript.

Making Steel Pens.

Briefly described, steel pens are made
as follows: First the steel is rolled into
big sheets and then cut into strips
about three inches in width. The strips
are heated to bright red and are then
Allowed to cool gradually, which tenn
pers them. They are next rolled to the
necessary thinness and are cut into
blank fiat pens, and the pens, while
fat, are usually stamped with the
brand or the name Of the manufacturer.
To shape the pens is the next process
The rounding makes them hold the ink
and distribute 1t more evenly than
could be done If they were fat. To
harden them they are heated to cher
~ red and then suddenly. cooled. This
not only hardens them, but makes them
elastic. The polishing, pointing and
finishing come next, and then they are
ready for use. The little holes In the
pens at the end of the Sits serve to
make them more elastic and to facili-
tate the flow of the ink.
It is said that more steel Is now used
in the manufacture of pens than In
that Of swords. 1t is even claimed that
the metal annually used in their manu-
facture weighs more than all the metal
used in the manufacture Of war imple-
ments-Detroit Free Press.

Booklet on Osteopathy.

DR.. W. W. Brock, who has recently opened
an Office aud operating rooms for the este
opathic system of treatment, has published q
handsome Booklet of Osteopathy, in which
he explains the theories of that method of
treating disease and its progress to recogni-
ton as q science, so that osteopaths are being
admitted to practice on the same terms as the
physicians of other schools. The essential
theory of osteopathy is that the body contains
within itself all that is needed to control the
body. There is little difference between os-
teopaths and physicians of other schools I'M
til the method of treatment is reached. The
older schools of physicians rely on drugs. The
osteopath holds that drugs are uncertain in
their action, that every time drug is admin
istered it is an experiment, so he relies on
his control of the natural forces of the body
to effect cure. All this is explained at
length in the booklet. 1t is finely printed, il
lustrated with some excellent views of the in
terror of the office and operating room and
scenery about Montpelier, giving all the in
form alton of the method of treatment and the
advantages of the city that is needed by any
one in adv ance of personal consultation

Spirituality was in those days at q
