BUSINESS CONSCIENCE.
Queer Distinction Made by London
Clock Makers in Some of
Their Work.

The Sunday morals of many a COM
munity are an improvement upon
those of ordinary work days. Some
how conscience seems to sleep when
the hand is busy, particularly if the
hand be employed upon some profit
able work. A London artist tells of a
curious incident that came under his
notice some little while ago, says
Youths Companion.
81 had an old English bracket clock
that | took myself to wholesale firm
of clock-mallers to be repaired. Whilst
in the shop l noticed peculiar piece
of mechanism, the purpose of which
puzzled me, so l sought for informa-
ton.
"'Oh!' replied one of the firm, that's
special order for a temple in China;
it is to work an idol and make him
move
"Presumably that clock-maker was
an excellent Christian in his own esti-
nation. / do not know whether there
was anything in my look that he con-
sidered called for an explanation, but
he added:
Cuisines is business, you know
You'd be astonished to learn what fun
ny orders we have sometimes in our
trade. Only the other day firm asked
us if we would make some imitation
genuine" Elizabethan clocks; they
sent us one to copy. But we replied
declining, merely saying that we had
so far conducted our business honestly,
and intended always to do So
$50, according to the ethics of our
informant, it is not dishonest to make
clockworl1 intended secretly to make
an idol move, but it is dishonest TO
make imitation medieval clocks!"

of the road to that on which Hayle's

apartments were situated.
| [ reached the restaurant at which
we were to dine that evening pune
tual to the moment, only to find that
Hayle had not yet arrived. For a
minute l was tempted to wonder
whether he had given me the slip
again, but while the thought was
passing through my mind cab
drove up, and the gentleman himself
alighted.
81 must beg your pardon for keep
ing you waiting" he said, apologet-
ically. Gas your host 1 should have
been here first. That would have
been the case had I not been de-
tanned at the last moment by an
old friend. Pray forgive mel"
I consented to do so, and we en-
tered the restaurant together.
/ discovered that he had already
engaged table, arranged the menu,
and bespollen the wines. We ac-
cordingly sat down, and the strangest
meal of which l had ever partaken
commenced. Less than a week be-
fore the man sitting in front of me
had endeavored to bring about my
distinctions; now he was my host,
and to all outward appearances my
friend as we'll. / found him most
agreeable companion, witty con-
versationalist, and born raconteur.
He seemed to have visited every part
of the known globe; had been a
sailor, reyolutionist in South
America, blackbirder in the Pacific,
had seen something of what he
called the "pigtail trade" to Borneo,
some very queer life in India, that is
to say, in the comparatively un-
known native states, and had come
within an ace of having been shot by
the French during the war in NADIA

A Good Relisionist.

A young matron has for her guide.
philosopher and friend, and inciden-
tally for maid, a very bright young
woman of irrepressible wit and u
member of the Catholic church. Not
long ago, when there was SO much
complaint by New Workers of sedi-
ment, and even of infinitesimal ami
mails, in their drinking water, the
maid, not long from running streams
made mild objection. The time was
during Lent. One day she discovered
two or three little red live things in
tumbler of water which she was
about to swallow, and she exclaimed,
throwing up her hands: Good
gracioas! l can't drink your New
York water; it's full of bugs, and I
don't eat meat in Lent."---N. Y. NAH

other, a biscuit linen suit, old rose
silk or lawn shirt with black silk
cravat, and hat of faded mauve roses;
and so on. The individual colorist is
always such a relief, as equally in

front and falling in a decidedly long
point at the back, where it is laid in
fiat folds. The waist is defined by
rather high folded ceinture of black
souple satin, while the top of the
corsage is cut appreciably decollete,
and the sleeves thrown back at the
elbow with cavalier cuffs, to show an

chiffon falling either side the front,
each from a respective paste button.
But as was authoritatively predict
ed quite early in the spring, it is the
white gown which is carrying all be-
fore it. The coarse white crash linen
is really adorable, and makes up into
the neatest, most chic little costumes
imaginable. This material is, of
itself, so thoroughly characteristic,
perfect build and stitched strappings
are all the assistance asked towards
its elegant completion. While still
more resisting variety, though one
Of rather freer weave, is spotted the
size of a siXpence in colors on neu-
tral-tinted ground, and requisitioned
to the particular cause of the yacht
ing and boating shirt, the edge of
the ''marin" collar outlined by
waved insertion of braid lace. A sue
cessful career may safely be proph-
esied for such a brave departure, al
lied either to a coat and skirt of navy
blue serge or the more Immediately
pressing linen suit.
And coarse white linen, while l re-
member, is the last fad for chemi-
settles or vests, completed by turned
down linen collars, for wearing with
yachting or river costumes. 1t is, of
course, the lightest of the coarse
quality procurable, wherefore will
the presence of the stitched, tucked
characterization, not be misunder-
stood. Though of fact nothing is
impossible in these days to the dex-
ferrous needlewoman.
just what is going to become of all
the elaborated dust cloaks prepared
for races and the summer festivities,
| is story that has yet to be writ
ten. Since the bulk Of fashionable
affection is being obviously bestowed
on the simple loose sacque coats Of
cloth, with roomy bell-shaped sleeves.
Here is .he prevailing idea pictured
in a zinc white cloth as fine and
souple as silk, a model that tests for
it's sole success on bold effective oNt-
line. The buttons, only visible when
the coat is closed, are gilt of the new
convex center set in square mounts.

The Eyes of n Lion,

One night when some troopers were
encamped in South Africa, it came the
turn of Rennie Stevenson to 90 for wa
ter to the spring, which was about a
thousand yards distant. He describes
the experiences in his booy, "Through
Rhodesia." comrade volunteered TO
accompany him. When they were near
ing the spring, this man whispered to
Stevenson:
"There's lion skulking in the un-
derbrush on the right bank
Yes, there were its eyes, cleaning
through the dark.
"Shall l fre?" whispered the SOL
der.
"Yes, fire, but take good aim. If
you only wound it, we will be done
for
The trooper knelt and took long,
steady aim.
Bang! The sound of the shot re-
verberated through the surrounding
trees and up the river. But there were
the eyes, still cleaning.
+ Stevenson asked for the rifle and
crawled nearer, trying to get better
shot. Closer and closer went the two
their hearts in their mouths. Sud-
denly, when they thought they were al
most in the face of the ''lion," they
found the "eyes" to be two glowworms

would be necessary for them to

No, Mr.. Fairfax, l know my own
