Regulating a Clock.

hold of the hands of a clock and push
them backward or forward tenth or a
twentieth part OF a second, which is
about the limit of error that is allowed
at the Greenwich observatory, so anoth-

lum a magnet is fixed IL it is found
that the pendulum is going either too
fast or too slow a current of electricity
is switched on. and the little magnet
begins to pull at the metal as it swings
TO and fro. 1t only retards or acceler-
ates the motion by an infnitesimal frac-

swings the tenth or the twentieth part
of the almost invisible error Is correct

WITHOUT THE FRILLS.
Editor Who DiscOuntenances Frippery.

An editor who was thoroughly tired of the foolishness that. goes on at a church wedding finally got even as follows, says the Atchison Globe man: "They were married in great style. All the elite of the town were invited, principally because 1t was thought that they would be more likely to bring elegant presents for the bride.
 "Of course, the ceremony took place in the church, and the church was most beau tifully decorated for the occasion. Pc ted plants were borrowed here and there, wherever they could be secured without making the owner mad enough to, fight.
 'The brides young lady friends had the decorations in charge, and when they were rag about the trouble and work, and wish ing that the bride had sense enough to get lp her own wedding. The ushers wore claw hammer coats, parted, their hair in the middle and stepped high when they walked down the aisle. The coats were hired from a costumer, and their white gloves came from an undertaker's, who kept them on hand for funeral occasions.
 "It was a ring ceremony. The ring was a monstrous gold band borrowed of the will lage jeweler. People called the bride love ly, but she was so homely that hollyhocks wouldn't grow in the dooryard where she ventional black, so called because his father once wore the coat to a democratic con vention. The presents were simply ele- gant. They came from people who couldn't afford to hire the washing done or bay bakers bread Then after a 'sumptuous wedding supper the bride and groom went to St. Louis on their wedding tour, where they spent more money in "A hours than both of them can earn in a month"

A WORD OF CAUTION.
Think Twice Before You Buy ''New and Remarkable Plants" from
 StrOlling Agents.

Much good money is wasted every year in the purchase of nursery stock that is "the greatest wonder of the age" People keep on buying this sort of things and probably will continue to do so. Some enterprising man, out of a job, perhaps, or possibly because there is money to be made at it, ar ranges with some grower of nursery stock to fill his orders with the cheap est sort of seedling apple trees. The agent starts out and names it "the everbearing pumpkin apple" Trees are sold for 50 cents or $1 each, and the purchaser plants "the ever bear ing pumpkin apple tree," watches it closely for four or six years, and at last there are a few blossoms. What delicious pumpkin apples" will be his! When fall arrives and few sour apples are all that are secured, there is considerable disappointment, but usually further hopes for future de- velopment. If plain, reliable trees of Missouri Pippin, Ben Davis, Winesap, Jonathan, Arkansas Black, Maiden Blush, or any other standard varieties had been planted good fruit would have been secured instead of nothing.
 This is but an illustration. The prin- ciple holGs good in the purchase of seeds and plants of every sort. Pur- chasing seeds and plants from we'll known nurserymen and seedsmen is the best and safest plan. Expectations of great deal for nothing, or of se- curing something unusually profitable will not be realized. Fruits are men, tioned particularly because of the ire quency of deception in tree-selling and of the ease with which profitable, thrifty, reliable nursery stock may be secured National Rural

A WOMAN'S HEART.
Mrs. Samuel G. Dyer Tells n Harrow-
 inE Tale of Suffering.

McCarron, Mich, April 8 (SpeciaD. Mrs. Samuel G. Dyer, of this place, has given the following interesting letter for publication:
 For years, I suffered intense pain in the region of the heart. I doctored with the best physicians. Some of them would relieve me for a short time, but the pain always returned. My heart was so bad that would have ] would lie awake almost all night. I am 62 years of age, and no one can up- derstand how much I suffered with this Heart Trouble.
 "About year ago, l heard of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and commenced to use them. From the first my condition i'm proved. The pain in my heart gradual ly grew less, and my general health much better, and now I can say posi- lively that I am entirely cured. l can sleep all night, and enjoy almost per feet health. I thank God for the cure that has come to me through the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
 ''I have thought long over the mat  ter of giving this letter for publica tion, and am now doing so without any solicitation whatever, and simply be- cause feel it to be my duty to express the profound gratitude I feel for my recovery, and to let others who may be suffering as I was know how they may find cure. I know that nothing else but Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me, because I have taken no other med icine for over year. l feel better now than I have for many years, and it is all due to the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills.'
 Mrs. Dyer's case and it's cure has at tracted great deal of attention. and her letter is a splendid tribute to the curative properties of Dodd's Kidney Pills.

At is half-inch pin ex- tending through the slot, g, which is one-half by three inches. This is placed 12 inches from the bottom, and when the piston, b, is raised, it brings the notch, f, just opposite the hole at the bottom of the hopper.

 To work the planter, put the ma: chine down in the place for planting, bear down on the piston rod, which takes the peas down to the bevel on the inside of the box and drops them on the ground.-Orange Judd Farmer.

at the room, now out into the night hts
eyes filled suddenly with tears: the love oil
1t lived again, he would keep 1t not only
because 1t was his, but because 1t had been
hers before him. His blood spoke strong
in him. Suddenly he smiled. 1t was at
the thought that all this belonged In law
to Miss Cecily Gafnsborough-the house,
the gallery, the pictures. the treasures, the
very chair where Addie Tristram had used
to sit. Every stick and stone about the
place was Cecily Gainsboroughs, aye, and
the bed Of the Blent from shore to shore.
He had nothing at all-according to law.
Well. the law must have some honor, some
recognition at all events. The Gainsbor-
oughs should, as he had promised, be asked
to the funeral. They should be invited with
all honor and most formally In the name
Of Tristram of Blent-which, by the by,
was, according to law, Miss Cecily Gains
borough's also. Harry had no name ac-
cording to law; no more than he had houses
or pictures or treasures, any stick or stone,
or the smallest heritage in the bed of the
Blent. He had been son to the mistress OF
1t all; she was gone and he was nobody
according to law. 1t was after all rea-
sonable concession that his mother had
urged on him: the Gainsboroughs ought to
be asked to the funeral. The last of his
vexation on this score died away with a
sense of grim amusement at Addie IRIS
trans wish and his own appreciation of It.
He had no sense of danger: Tristram had
succeeded to Tristram: all was well.
