The Mother Love.

It is given to few people to under- stand the workings of the child mind. and it is only by the exercise of pa fience and the utmost sincerity that one can get to know the ideas and de- sires that are formed in the ever busy little brains. A pretty story was once told by Sir Edwin Arnold of three children of his acquaintance. whom he asked at their bed tims. when about to say their prayers, if they would pray for what they wanted most After the two eldest had made their requests. the youngest, little girl. knelt down and, putting her hands together, said: Dear God, love me when I am naugh- ty. like mamma"

First Insane Indian.

Mrs Blue Sky, the Indian woman who was recently sent to the insane hospital at Fergus Falls. is the first Indian woman in Minnesota to be placed in an institution of that kind, says the Detroit Tribune. The wom- ans mind during the trip to Fergus Falls was occupied with associations most dear to the Indian. She talked in Chippewa of trapping and of the woods. Her mind dwelt on such mat ters during most of the journey. Mrs. Blue Sky is a sister of John Bear grease.

GERMANS STRANGE rIMEpiEce
Took Him 16 Years to Make His $40, 900
 Clock.

Took Him 6 Years to Make His s4O,0oo
 Clock.
 4 remarkable clock is to be placed on exhibition here in the near future 1t has taken 16 years for the inventor, Carl Julius Speath, native of Baden, Germany, to build it. Not until 1884 did he start to build this clock It is what the inventor calls an astro- nomical art clock. All parts of it were made by Speath himself out of raw material. The smaller parts are plated with gold or silver, the larger parts Ere of nickel. The case is T feet high, 1 feet wide. and 2 feet deep and is made out of oak wood, waxed and pol ished ea the top, at the left hand. stanee e7oster, which crows three ts. before the clock strikes 12. TAe crow immediately brings out a .aekoo, which chirps if the seq son picture beneath the roof shows spring; a quail appears and shrieks If it is summer; in autumn bull jumps out and bellows, and in winter lion rushes forth and roars. At the top, on the right hand, stands the angel Gabriel, who blows his horn after the striking of each hour. In the gallery beneath the roof stand the four eyangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Two statues stand in another apartment and strike the quarter hours. Near the first quarter-hour stroke stands child, near the second a young man, near the third man fully developed, and near the fourth an old man. These figures are sup posed to illustrate the four stages Of human existence. In the center of the gallery is the Savior, seated upon the clouds, holding a book and cross and showing his wounds. The astronomical part of the clock is very elaborate. The eclipses Of the sun and moon are shown distinctly and predicted aceu- rately. The position Of the stars and their movements are also shown very beautifully. The milky way, equator, zodiac, and meridians are painted on ? globe. At the lower right-hand cor. ner is an extra indication of the date, weekday, and month, with the illus trations after which the weekdays are named. The whole clock weighs only 335 pounds. but it's appraised value in Germany is $40, ,000-New York Jour nal.

A Greatful nIenelicant.

A grateful mendfcant has died in the village of Hinstoek, near Newport, England, and his gratitude assumed an exceedingly novel form-for beggar. His name was Meeson, he was aged, and his generally destitute air and wretch ed surroundings gave his neighbors the impression that he had not penny in the world. Out of pure charity they accordingly for many years provided him with food and clothing. Great sur prise was caused among the good Sa- maritans when it became known that by his will he had left G2,000 and cer- tain real property for division among those who had assisted him. As one of them remarked. it was a clear case Of casting your bread on the water, and seeing it come back after many days buttered on both sides.

The Highest Tower.

The highest tower n the world IS presently to be built as one of the great attractions of Buffalo during the Pans American exposition, which is to be held in that city in 1901 It is to be 1.452 feet nigh, and 400 feet square at tie base, and will be a much more or aamental building than the Eiffel tower. It will be served by no fewer than B electric elevators, sixteen of which will run only to the first landing, 225 feet above the level of the ground. The whole journey from the bottom to the top will neeessitate four changes of elevators, and will take about six minutes, while the elevators Will have a carrying capacity of 10000 an hour. The estimated cost of this tower, which will be built of steel, is &8o0,000, or about twice as much as that of the Eiffel tower.
