Clocks for Queer Uses.

One of the latest developments of the
common domestic clock is worthy of
serious attention. 1t comes from swift
zerland and takes the form OF a phono-
graphic attachment to an ordinary
clock, which at any desired hour Of
the morning will shout: 1T is (seven)
o'clock; get upl Now, don't go to
sleep againl' The possibilities Of an
extension Of this principle are i'm
mense. There might be clocks for the
boxing ring. saying, Time, gentle
men, and clocks for the parliamentary
bore, with a cry Of "Videl Yider
Church congregations which have suf-
fered many things at the hands OF
long-winded preachers might subscribe
for clock which should utter a sonor-
GUS "Amenl" at the end Of a suitable
period. Equally valuable would be a
timepiece which should convey a gen
tie hint to the unwanted caller; in
deed. this particular Development is so
attractive that I am thinking Of enlist
ing its aid for the purpose Of shorten
ing editorial interviews at the Truth
ofice.-London Truth.

blaze of the sun, lay four mountain
lions, fast asleep. For half minute I

New NarIetie. of Wheat.

The government has taken up the
introduction from Hungary of new va
rieties of wheats that promise to great
ly benefit American wheat growers.
Among these new varieties are the
ones that are especially useful in the
manufacture OF macaroni, and fac
tories for the making Of macaroni have
already been established In this coun-
try. American wheats are serviceable
for bread and pastry making, but are
not hard enough for the manufacture
Of macaroni. When plants are taken
from one country and cultivated in an
other, 1t frequently happens that the
character Of the plant undergoes a
change, sometimes for the worst; and
1t was feared that the macaroni wheats
would deteriorate when grown on our
soil or at least would soften up. The
experiment, however, proved that they
would grow on American soil and re-
tain their characteristics. These
yheats are winter wheats but are SUI
perior to the winter wheats we are
now growing and will grow over a
much larger area. For the making OF
iour they are said to be fully equal to
our best spring wheat. The introduc-
ton of these varieties should greatly
stimulate our export Of wheat, as such
wheat is in great demand in parts OF
Europe.

1t necessary for the cattle to do an
unusual amount Of walking, with con-

cially, the injury is great, as the
tramping breaks up the ground and
drives the grass roots into the mud

may be put in from early spring to
early autumn. Among the kinds to be
grown might be suggested fodder corn,
vetches and rape. When crops for for
