WONDERS oFNyAlCHMAkING
Queer Timepieces Owned by Two of
Ensland's Queens.

Queer Tim epieces Owned by Two of
Ensland's Queens.
Among the treasures of a Swiss mu-
scum, inserted in the top of an old fash
toned pencil case, is the tiniest watch
ever constructed. 1t is only three-six-
teenths of an inch in diameter, and it's
little dial not only indicates hours, min
utes and seconds. but also the days of
the month. So perfectly formed is this
lilliputian watch that it keeps excel
lent time and is Il marvellous piece Of
mechanical workmanship.
Two of the most elaborate and curl
Gus watches which the world has ever
seen belonged to Queen Elizabeth and
her unfortunate contemporary, Mary,
queen of Scots. Good Queen Bess had
a watch made for her in the form of a
duck, with beautifully chased feathers,
the lower part of which opened. The
face was of silver, with an elaborate
gilt design, and the whole was kept in
a case of brass, covered with black
leather thickly studded with big silver
knobs.
The i'll fated Mary was the possessor
OF watch in the form of a skull The
dial was introduced where the palate
should have been, and the works occu-
pied tie place of brains in the crani-
I'm. In the hollow of the skull, more
over, was bell which had works of its
own and by means of which a hammer
struck out the hours upon it.
One of the choicest rarities of the
Bernal collection was a book shaped
watch. This curious time indicator was
made by order of Bogislaus XIV, Duke
of Pomerania, i'll the time of Gustavus
Adolphus. On the face of the book,
Where the dial of the watch is set,
there is an engraved inscription of the
duke and his titles and armorial bear
ings, together with the date, 1927. On
the back the engravings are also very
finely and slsillfully executed, among
them being the portraits of two gentle
men Of the seventeenth century. The
dial plate is of silver, chased in relief,
while the insides are beautifully chased
with figures of birds and foliage The
watch has two separate movements and
a large, sweet toned bell AT the back,
over this bell, the metal is ornamental
ly pierced in a circle, with dragon and
other devices, while the sides are pierre
ed and engraved with a complicated
design of beautiful scroll work.-Lon

writer in the Boston Transcript
gives this Renaissance of the Rev. DIR.
Elijah Kellogg of Harpswell, Me-:
"One Sunday before his sermon the
doctor announced from his pulpit: The
widow Jones' grass is getting pretty
long. | shall be there with my scythe,
rake and pitchfork at 4 o'clock tomcr-
row morning, and I hope every male
member of the congregation will be
there too
The next morning they We're ill
there and among them Captain Griggs,
six feet two in his stockings, with a
weight of nearly go pounds Par
son. said he as they We're working up
the field near each other. I'm goin to
cut your corners this mornin
Now, DR.. Kellogg was little man,
weighing scarcely more than 100
pounds, but he knew how to handle
a scythe, and, as he told me, with lit
tie shrug of his shoulders. he didn't
cut my corners that morning. More
than that, the man who had thought
he could beat the parson at moving
dropped under a tree exhausted from
working with such a pacemaker."

DR.. BYLEs STOOD GUARD.
1t Was n Thanksgiving Day, and the
Cause Was Urgent.

One of the most famous of the old
Puritan divines was Dr.. Mather Byles,
who was born in Boston in 17O6 and
who was the first pastor of the Hollis
Street Congregational church, to which
he ministered for more than 40 years.
Dr.. Byles was famous as humorist
and wit, and innumerable anecdotes
are related of his clever quips and re-
torts. He was a jealous Tory and
warmly advocated the cause of ''the
mother country" against the colonies.
In November, lit, he was arrested as
a Tory, tried, convicted and sentenced
to be confined on board a guard ship
and sent to England with his family
within 40 days. The sentence was aft
erward committed by the board of war
to confinement in his own house,
guard being placed over him with in
structions not to permit him to leave
his residence for a moment under any
circumstances.
On Thanksgiving morning, observing
that the sentinel, who like many of the
colonial soldiers, was a simple rustic,
had disappeared and that DR.. Byles
himself was pacing up and down be-
fore his own door with a musket on his
shoulder, the neighbors crossed the
street to inquire the cause of this sin
gular spectacle.
you See" said DR.. Byles, 81 begged
my guard to let me go out to procure
some cider with which myself and
family might celebrate Thanksgiving
day. but he would not permit me to
stir. l argued the point with him, and
he has now gone to get the cider for me
on condition that | keep guard over
myself during his absence"

The Worat Paved City.

Moscow is probably the worst paw
ed city in the world. Great cobble-
stones driven by hand into a loose bed
OF sand form a roadway which is al
ways dusty in summer and muddy in
autumn, and in many of the roads
there is no attempt at a roadway of
any kind. The streets are badly wa
tered and cleaned.
The city is regarded by the Russians
as the holy city," probably because of
the large number of monasteries it con-
tains. 1t was once the capital of the
empire and still enjoys the distinction
of being considered the capital of the
interior. but there does not seem to be
any particular desire on the part of
the authorities to make it more worthy
of it's title

Actors who stutter.

1t would seem that the stage is not
only the last profession that would be
chosen by person afflicted by stutter-
ing, but that sufferer would never
dream of selecting that profession.
Yet it is a fact that some well known
actors and singers labor under this dis
advantage.
The stlangest thing about it is that
the sad impeachment which is so pain
fully evident in private life seems to
vanish entirely when they are on the
boards.
1t is curious that appearance on the
stage or in the pulpit should have this
beneficial effect, for sufferers in other
walks Of life do not lose their impede.

Victoria Got Her primroses.

'"The following little anecdote, told
by Queen Victoria herself will show
her independence of character" says a
writer in The Century. VERY fond of
primroses and finding none in the
royal gardens, she sent word to have
some planted. The gardeners. the
queen said, made many objections, and,
finding shortly afterward that her
wishes had not yet been carried out,
she dispatched messenger inquiring
the reason. 4 suppose Queen Anne
had none, she said, so they did not
think it proper for me to have any,
but sent them word promptly that
Queen Victoria would have some-and
she did,"

An octopus which had been in a fight
with some other monster once drifted
ashore on the Malay peninsula. He had
feelers, or arms, which were from 70
to II feet long and weighed altogether
$50 pounds, 1t was calculated that
he was big enough and strong enough
to drag a twos ton fishing boat under
the surface by main strength.
