is the result of poor digestion. an insid-
ious form of dyspepsia which can only be
cured by a remedy specially intended to
cure it and make the digestive organs act

THE MASTER CLOCK"
An Important Timepiece in the Naval
Observatory at Washington.

An Important Timepiece in the Naval
Observatory at Washington.
In the course of an article in St
Nicholas on How We Set Oul
Watches by q Star, w. S. Harwood
tells about the master clock at Wash
ington.
The great clock n the naval OBJ
servatory is called the master clock
By means of the epeating-apparatus
the time is repeated over eighteen
different circuits to the various parts
of the country. New York city au
tOmatically repeats the time to al
points east and north; Chicago anC
Cincinnati repeat to all points west
and southwest; Richmond, Augusta
and Atlanta to all points south. If
you should happen to be in some
large Telegraph Office at the moment
the time signal is being sent out, it is
likely you would see the operators al
their keys take out their watches q
few seconds before the time is due
open them, put tiny piece of tissue
paper twisted into a thread between
the spOkes of one OF the little wheels
in their watches, holding back the
movement to the instant the signal
is given, then releasing the wheel sc
that the watch shall fall into the
exact beat of the master clock in
Washington.
Of course the same care must be
taken whether the operators are tC

ball is an interesting feature of the
service. 1t is a round ball large
enough to be seen from the street
where, supported by its appliances, ii
rests on the top of some building. Ii
is attached by wire to the circuit from
Washington in such a manner that, al
the instant the master clock in Wash.
ingtOn ticks the stroke of twelve. the
deliCately poised ball will fall, re
leased by the same beat of the clock
that announces the time to the rest OF
the country. Any one who watches
one of these time-balls just before
the stroke of twelve, timepiece IN
hand may easily determine whether
his watch is slow, fast, or on time.
Through the east these time-bals
are dropped every day at noon, save
on Sundays, at New York City, Bo5
ton, Newport (Rhode Island), Woods
Holl (Massachusetts) Philadelphia
Baltimore, Washington, Hampton
Roads, Savannah, and Fortress Mon
roe The trick of the Master Clock
that drops these time-balls also re
leases others, some of them many
hundreds, indeed thousands, of miles
away. For instance, by cable ar
rangement, a time-baIl is dropped
every day in the city of Havana, ani
another in San Francisco, three thous
and miles distance. So Incompetent
sibly swift is the speed Of the electric
current that, if the repeating-instru
ments and the wires are in perfect
condition, there is no appreciate
difference in the time of the dropping
of the ball in New York City and the
dropping of the ball in San Francisco

of the master clock in the naval Oh
servatOry in Washington.

EARLY TRAINING FOR BOYS
Choice OF a Career Should be Put Off
Till Late.


A to early choice in the school
period is more to be feared than de
lay. There is more wrong in it to the
boys future. AS long as the work
done is recognizably good and no dis
sipation Of energy is cultivated the
final choice may be left open for the
college period at least. In my own
experience a general course of study
carefully selected for boys has in the
end added force to their true career"
The restlessness Of the business com
munity over the college boy is, l
imagine, due to the fact that the boy
fails to energize at all rather than to
q failure on his part to energize n
some one direction.
Merchants ask for the habit of
mind suited to Work-not only to work
persistently in one direction, but to
change its direction quickly, to meet
emergencies and this power of the
mind comes from the exercise of many
faculties, and not one alone. So of all
trades and professions in their higher
range. 1t is no waste of time for the
embryo artist to learn the multiplied

Respect for justice and reverence

This fact only strengthened the
mystery. The croupiers and the ad-
ministratiOn fully believed that the
tide would turn. Also, the administra-
ton fully valued the effects of such
an advertisement. So the croupiers
were told TO be complaisant and allow
time for stalking, etc. Moreover they
were quite unaware that Jaggers and
his partner were playing with one cyl
inder and, that, when one month they
were at one table, and another month
they were at another, this cylinder was
their attraction.
One day the lady player fOolishly
opened the eyes of the administration
For some reason, perhaps for repol-
ishing, perhaps because the mechani-
clan with his spirit level had discoy
cred a defect, the precious cylinderwas
removed altogether. In tears the in
discreet lady went to a director and
implored its return, saying: we can
only play with that cylinder"

! now, after a decline from $50 to 40, a
very recent newspaper report declares

1t mnst be admitted, however, in the
face Of these experiences, that sue

is not utterly impossible. The Oneida
Community, at first religious society,
after a stormy experience with their
neighbors through practicing free life,
adopted family life in 1880, abandoned
communism and formed a joint stock
company. In 1857 the community
wealth was $4,000; the 1900 the CAPT
tai of the Oneida Company, Limited,
was 100000 and it's surplus $150,247
with PIG stockholders. Though no
longer strictly a community" the
Oneida Company is undoubtedly a sue
cessful cooperative experiment, en-
plOying in it's factories all stockholders
that desire to labor, but it is success
full partly because it carries on bust
ness in the manner of any other cor
poration. The WOmans Common

advanced IDEAS" is still in existence
at Mount Pleasant in the District of
Columbia. Twenty-tour celibates live
together tremendously. How long the
community will last it is impossible
of course, to say, but thus far it has
proved successful. But the bright par
ticular example Of a fiourishing coop
a1atiVe community, the only one that
stands out as a satisfactory embOdi-
ment of the cooperative idea, is the
Amana Society," inhabiting seven viii
lagos twenty miles west of Iowa City
III Iowa. This alone has fulfilled the
hopes of it's founders. Originally per,
secuted Pietists from Hiesse, the
Amanites to the number of 800 founded
Ebenezer Community in New York III
1913; in 1852, when they moved to
their 26,000acre tract in Iowa, they
numbered /, 200 and now 1900 of them
carry on the farms, factories, shops
and stores of the Amana villages in
happiness and comfort. They hold all
property in common; they eat at com
mon tables. Each has an annual al
lOWance for clothes. Each does his
share of the labor necessary to make
the community prosperous. Their per
capita of wealth is less than that of
Iowa county, but the system of com
mon ownership secures equality of
distribution. Though not rich, then,
the community has grown steadily and
gives every promise of continuance.
The explanation of its success lies in
the preservation of the original relig
iOus enthusiasm.
The cOmmuniStic movement, how
ever, with this exception, indicates that
human nature is not adopted to com
munity life; the invigorating shock of
competition is, after all, what wealthy
Americans most keenly desire.

THE HEN WHO FAILED.
A Fable on the Enlargement of the
Feminine Sphere.

Feminine Sphere.
Once upon a time there was a lit.
tie brown Hen who had lived happily
! for many years in Barnyard, where
she CIucked and Clacked and minded
| her Nest. and was a generally u.elL
and agreeable member of Society.
At last, however, she grew discon-
tented with her narrow Domestic
Sphere, and determined to go out
into the Wide, Wide World to seek her
fortune
q opine," she said to herself, that
it is Wicked for a Creature of my In
candescent Intellect to bury her Tai
ents in making a Mere Home, and that
there is no use in a Wife wasting her
Oratory on a Husband who will not
even Encore the Performance when
there are Lecture Lyceums spelling
for Orators.
Neither has it gotten Past me that
the BOOSTERS have a line on Life that
we Hens have, missed, and that in the
General Division of Things they got
the Loot and we got Most of the
Labor. I also apprehend that it is
much less Fatiguing to Stand on a
Fence and Grow over your Family
| than it is to Scratch for it, and
should like to Tackle that side of the
job for awhile.
1T is true that l have known good
many Hens who have gone out in
search of Careers who have found a
Cold Frost instead, but I am next to
the fact that the Reason they Failed
was because they were too Feminine,
so it is up to me to understudy the
Lords of Creation and to display a
