Father Times Own Clock.

1.-THE transmitting clock at the naval
observatory, Washington, is the absolute
monarch OF American time keepers"
writes Evander McIver Sweet in Ladies'
Home Journal. every day in the year"
except Sunday, by one pendulum-stroke
it speaks directly and simultaneously to
every city and considerable town between
the peaks OF the Rockies and the pines of
Maine, saying to them that ON the
seventy-fifth meridian 1t is now high
noon to the fraction of second.
"a duplicate mechanism, stationed at
the branch naval observatory on Mare
island, PERFORMS a similar service for the
people OF the Pacific slope. And by this
one clock at the national capital together
with its duplicate ON the Pacific), is set
nearly every time-piece in the United
States and Cuba, most OF those in Mexico
and many on the border of Canada.
A number of clocks-from three to three
thousand-in nearly every city and large
townare wired together into local family
and, by means of q switch-key at the tele-
graph office, are put into direct contact
with the parent clock at the national
capital So that the instant the electric
touch Is given from Washington, every
clock in the circut-whether it be at
Boston, Minneapolis or New Orleans
begins new day in perfect accord with
its mechanical deity.

Tn Against O-u-o-h,

A Frenchman thirsting for linguistic
superiority recently began a course of En-
glish lessons with a teacher of languages.
After toiling conscientiously through
good many exercises, the following dia-
logue between the pupil and his master
was overheard:
81 find the English very difficult" COM
planned the Frenchman. "How do you
pronounce t-o-u-g-h?"
at is pronounced 'tuff.'
''Eh, bien, 'tuff,' snuff then, is spelt
s-n-o-u-gh, is it not?"
@Oh, no; snuff is spelt Snuff. As
matter of fact, words ending in o-u-g-h
are somewhat irregular"
81 see; a superb language! Tough
is fluff and c-o-u-g-h is cuff 1 have
very bad cuff"
"No it is 'coff,' not 'cuf.'"
"very well; cuff, tuff and con. And
dough is duff eh?"
"No, not duff!
"'Doff,' then?"
! "No; DOH"
| "Well, then, what about h-o-u-g-h?"
'That is pronounced hook"
"'Hock' Then / suppose the thing the
farmer uses, the p-l-o-u-g-h, is 'pluff,' or
is it 'plock,' or 'plo'f Fine language
| 'plo.'"
"No, no; it is pronounced 'plow.'".
81 shall soon master English, 1 am sure.
Here we &c. 'Plow,' 'eoff,' cuff 'hock,

is row. suppose?"
ooh, no, my friend; that's ruff again"
Sand b-o-u-gh is 'buff'?"
"No; that happens to be bow"
Eyes, wonderful language. And have

vinoI Makes Weak
People Strong.
WE GUARANTEE 1T WILL
DO so.
WE KNOW OF NO TONIC OR RE-
BUILDER LIKE 1T.
vinol does create strength.

Nfnot does create strength.
We know that and have proved Il in
many instances.
The reason vinol reiuvenates and
strengthens person is that it acts
directly upon the stomach, strengthen
ing and toning up this great vital organ
and enabling 1t to obtain for itself,
from the food that Is taken into it. the
elements which are required to make
firm healthy flesh and muscle tissue,
sound bone structure and pure healthy
blood.
Vinol does this in scientific way
and is enabled to do it because it con-
tains, dissolved in delicate mild wine,
in highly concentrated state, the act
i've principles of cod-liver oil.
Vinol does not contain any of the
grease that formerly characterized cod
liver oil, hence is free from all the OBJ
jectionable features which made IL inn
possible for patients TO take or retain
that vile-smelling remedy into their
stomach.
Vinol in its favorable action upon
the stomach and other organs of the
body acts also in beneficial way upon
the nerves and brain, and win be
found TO be invaluable to brain workers
as well as body workers.
The following letter is from we'll
known authoress. 1t reads rs follows
~ wish TO acknowledge the receipt
of the Vinol and testify to its great
benefits. Since taking 1t ] am much
improved in health, and during the in
tense heat of last August | should not
have been able 10 continue in my liter
airy work il 1t had not been for the
strengthening properties of Vinol.
Yours in gratitude. ELLA STARR, 100
w. SD St., n. Y. City.
We wish any one sufferingfrom
weakness, a demoralized con-
dition of the nerves, or a suscep-
tibility to wasting diseases, to
call on us and hear what we have
to say in regard to vinol.
Try it on our recommendation,
and II you find it does not dc
everything we claim for 1t, we
will gladly refund to you the
amount you have paid us.

PARIS KILBURN
GUEST OF HONOR
Harbor Commissioners
and Staff Give a
Banquet.

The Harbor Commissioners and staff Of
employees gave banquet last night in the
board room in the ferry building to Paris
Kilburn president of the board. In ad-
dition to the commissioners and employees
more than one hundred invited guests
were present, including the wives, daugh-
tiers and women friends Of the hosts.
Former Commissioners Dan T. Cole and
Major Harvey and former Governor
James H. Budd were also in attendance.
Mr.. Kilburn had been led to think that
Secretary bill" English was to be the
guest of honor and his surprise was COM
plete when he was informed by Commits
sioner Rudolph Herold Jr. in an intro
ductory speech that he was to be the re-
cipient Of the sentimental part of the
affair. Herold, continuing, said that Mrs
Kilburn was to receive the more SUBJ
stantial token of the esteem in which she
and her husband were held by the COM
missioners and staff Of employees. At
signal a huge flag which had served as
a covering was removed from the table
in the center of the room and a splendid
gift of hand-painted china, cut glass and
Bohemian glass was revealed. 1t COM
prised a fish set and a roast set Of china,
| four sets Of Bohemian glasses and a set
| of finger bowls and several pieces of cut
| glass.
Mr.. Kilburn replied with feeling to Mr..
Herold's very complimentary speech. He
praised his colleagues for their able and
! conscientious service and threw a few
! bouquets to Governor Gage, who was
! though lost to view to memory dear"
Every speaker had a good word for the
Governor and the cheers of the assem-
| blage of appointees drowned the whistle
! of the ferry-boats. Ex-Governor Budd in
| his speech stole a march on the others by
proposing three cheers for Governor Gage.
The cheers were given with enthusiasm.
After the speechmaking the refresh
| ments were served
Music was furnished by a string or
chestra from the Pensacola and by a
male quartet
The board room was deliberately dec
! GRATED by the ferry florists, the chief feat
ure being festoons of evergreens, from the
midst of which sparkled many tiny in
candescent lights
