Alarm clock With Attachments In.
sures Punctuaity.

An alarm clock for deaf mutes IS
the novel invention of Elisha Cretzer,
a deaf mute in the employ OF the
,Tashce smelling plant, who resides al
Is Birch street. How to awaken
at certain honr has long been
problem among these unfortunate peo-
r1e, AID in Mr. Cretzer's Invention
the solution has beer found. says the
Anaconda Standard. Of course, the
or~.rary alarm clock has been useless.
Mr.. Cretzer, who is an ingenious tel
ow, is water and fnme tender at
the Washoe smelter. His work neces-
states his rising at an early hour IN
the morning, and as he has no means
Of awakening he has lost many days
Of work by being late. He accordingly
set about inventing an apparatus by
which he could always be on time.
Tie dropping of a pillow on the
sleeping person is the awakening
agent, and it is operated so that the
pillow falls at the desired time. An
ordinary alarm clock is placed In a
cigar box, which fits it closely. 1t is
t1en nailed to the wall at the head OF
tie bed. A string connects the zap
per OF the alarm clock with an Ordl
nary spring mouse trap fastened to
the top of the cigar box. By sys'
tenn of small pulleys and screweyes a
pillow is fastened to the end Of a
string and pulled to the ceiling direct
ly above the bed. An ingenious ar
rangement connects the other end OF
the string to the mouse trap. The
clock is set and when the alarm goes
off the string attached to the bell
clapper springs the mouse trap and
releases the pillow, which drops on
the person sleeping in the bed be-
anath.
When it does not hit me it hits my
wife" Mr.. Cretzer wrote on a piece
of paper. "and so l never miss day
any more"

Some horrid Englishman Who has

The modern woman has turned her

In this respect the American woman
is the chief of sinners. Her insane ex.
travagance has inocuiated English
women, who vainly try to outstrip the
peripatetic oil queen who trails her
skirts over Europe every autumn. The
American woman regards her husband
as a money making machine. He ex>

means o. making other women sick
with envy. She faunts in European
hotels while her husband is shaving at
home. She has successfully eradieet.
