Fun in a Clocks Face.

Some amusement may be had in q
company of boys and girls by asking
them to draw a picture of the face Of
a clock. Most of them would be likely
to draw the letters Nv. instead of iii.
for four. and would forget. perhaps.
that all The letters of the dial should
stand with their base toward the CEN
ter.
1t is probable that most people read
a clock dial by the position of the fig
ures or letters and disregard the fig
ures themselves. Some OF the larger
clocks now made for steeples have
only straight line at each hour place
and they serve their purpose admir-
ably.
It has been found. however. that
while most persons have no accurate
knowledge of dials. any marked de-
parture from the usual method Of
marking them is at once detected. A
dial bearing ". instead of the four
straight lines attracts everybody's at.
tention.

Desertions from the Ministry.

The statistical tables of the severa'
denominations fail to record the fact
that one reason why the pastoral OF
flee Is becoming more difficult to fill is
that so many ministers are entering
other yocations. Ten per cent of the
ordained c,ergymen in one denomira
ton are engaged in work ether than
the pastorate. while still Others are
living without any reported active
service Not only arc many leaving
of service in the kingdom. but it is

ness have attracted others.-Contrib-

The Bills of Most I'm portance.

The Bills of Most Importance.
Opinions differ as to the bills of most
Importance that have been passed by
both houses this session. 1t is gen.
| orally agreed that the road act, for the
consolidation of road districts into
township districts, thus making the
township the unit of road organization,
| is one of those in the foremost rank.
| 1t affects the entire state and has
much to do with the good roads ques-
| ton. The Durham compulsory educa-
| ton bill. which will become a law, is
also generally regarded as one of the
most important measures of the SEES
sion. The importance of the allowance
of large special leyies. to the educa-
tional institutions lis also apparent.
| The bill giving to interurbans the
right of eminent domain and vesting
them with practically the same pow
ers as steam railways Is II piece of leg
islation that in opinion of not few
means much for the future of the
| TRANSPORTATION of Iowa. Four hundred
and forty-five bills were introduced In
| the house and 365 in the senate. OF
these total of about go passed. The
| list of the bills dead and sleeping
would be long one. The committee
rooms and committee room tables are
strewn with the remains of embryOn-
| ic legislation. Among the measures
| thai have in one way or another been
killed is the Maggie bill to prohibit Sun
day baseball, the standard policy bin.
the valued policy bill, the pure food
| bill and the bill To encourage forestry
| in Iowa. The congressional redistrict-
| ing bills, concerning which so much
| was heard early in the session. came
| to nothing and were slaughtered In
committee as fast as they arose. For
the last month none has breathed Il
word on this subject. The senatorial
districts were left as they We're Tie
representative districts were slightly
modified. Des Moines and Lee coun-
ties being cut off with one representa-
tive each and the extra two members
being given to northwestern Iowa,
where several notifications In the
double districts We're made.
