AN EFFECTIVE ALARM CLOCK
Not Only Awakes the Sleeper, But
Gives Him a JawinE mt
the Same Time.

"Ring-a -ding-a-ding ding! Get
up, you lazy loafer! It's seven
o'clock" Those strenuous words,
preceded by the tinkle of brisk lit
tie bell, caused visitor in a West
Philadelphia house to hop out of bed
the other morning with immense sud-
denness, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord.
The words were so authoritative
that he had the same feeling of sub
mission he had when a scboolboy and
his father called him. So he jumped
up now without question.
What had awakened him was a
photographic clock, an ingenious ar
rangement devised by his host, which
was so set that the same spring
which started the alarm started, a
moment later, Photographic at
tachment. The maker of the phono-
graphic clock said he thought OF
patenting it.
"You see,' he said, "the phono-
graph, speaking to you after the
alarm wakes you, can be made to
say different things-can be made
for instance, If you have an -mPor'
tant engagement, to tell you OF it
can be made to state emphatically
to YOU, don't you know. the reason
why YOU should arise. Usually my
phonograph says to me: Get up. lt,s
seven o'clock. Get up, or the boss
will dock you for being late.

Hand Out Your Brains!

To many a man in misfortune, prob
ably nothing is SO bitter as the fact
that no one will help him to think.
One friend will kindly lend him hun
dred dollars, just to keep the wolf
from the door; another will give him
a letter of introduction; a third will
wish he could do something for him;
a fourth will advise him TO keep his
eye open; fifth will be glad to see
him looking so well-and SO forth
All will feel sorry for his trouble, but
not one will help him to think his way
out of the darkness into the light.
Why should we not help our neighbor
to think, as we'll as to laugh and to
eat? It is as incumbent on us to hand
out our brains as our money. 1--WE
that are strong ought to help the
weak" And at one time or another we
are all included in bo.h classes.--S. b
Times.

THE DOG AROUND TOWN.

FJsve YOU feasted to-day, old fellow?
Had a sniff Of some meat or a bone?
were you gen 'rously fed upon gravy ana
bread
Bv some one who called you their own?
Your ribs, sir! How plainly they're show
ing!
Your legs seem uncertain and weak!
Have you searched every street Tor
morsel to eat?
Are you just a town dog. sir! Come
speak!
Were you housed from the snowstorm last
night, sir?
Did you sleep within some warm pee!
Did you hear the wind roar past the closed
stable door
IA while dreams of green fields filled your
head?
or did you crawl into some alley
To curl up and shiver, and know
wha voice of slow death in the winds Icy
breath
Meath your soft. creeping blanket Of
M snow?.
Has anyone patted your head, sir?
i Or noted your great, sunken eye!
Have your unkempt ears heard any kino'
gentle word
From some human friend, passing by? .
or have folks just kicked you aside, SIT!
Why, you're trembling now, where you
stand!
Have they struck you so much that you
quake at my touch
And cover at sight of my hand?
Tt's the way of the world, poor old Fellow:
lust a struggle for bread, or bone;
& And some of US know how you feel when
you go
"A TO your bed in the alley alone!
were you sleek and well cared for and
handsome
Friends would feed you and love you
on sight;
ant it's different, sir, with a poor, luckless
cur,
. lust a dog around town! There, good
80 night!

STORY OF A BUTToNHooK.
N American WOman's Hunt In
Hong-kong for the Useful
Little Article.

A friend who was paying Denver
woman an informal visit saw upon
her toilet table, among the cut glass
scent bottles and silver backed
brushes, a common shoe buttoner,
with rough wooden handle like
carpenters awl. 1T seemed much
out of place among the luxurious
furnishings scattered about, SO the
visitor suggested that it must have
history, says the Denver Times.
''It has," was the reply, 'sand such
time as I had finding it! got it
in Hong-Kong, in the Chinese quar-
ter. The one I had became so bent
that it was useless, and / never could
button my boots with a hairpin. II
was Sunday; all the English shopS
were closed and / had to have new
button hook, as l was leaving that
evening for Canton and could not
wait for the English, or foreign
shops as the Chinese say, to open
on Monday morning. I called my
coolies, got into my sedan chair,
made them understand where | want
ed to so, and they set off at their or
binary jog trot. Well, went from
shop to shop. No one in that part
of Hong-Kong-at least no one that
I found-could Speak a word of Eng
lish, and knew no Chinese. But it
is astonishing how much you can do
by mere pantomime, especially with
a people as quick-witted as the Chi
nese, when they are not embarrassed
or frightened.
'Whenever we halted my head
coolie called out the proprietor.
put out my bcot-of monstrous size,
in their opinion-and went through
the form of buttoning 1t. The man
understood instantly, but always
shook his head and sent me on to
the next place. After half dozen
ventures, in which my pantomime
steadily improved, like a stage re-
hearsal, perseverance was rewarded.
All Chung bowed, smiled, dashed
back into his dark, smelly little shop
| and returned, radiant, with that but
ton hook. 1t had been in his stock,
I imagine, for years, and he had de-
SPARED of ever selling it. To find a
| customer for it to the tune of $50
cash, which. large as it sounds, is
only 25 cents, was joy to his bargain
loving soul. The hook was crusted
with rust and as rough a piece OF
Workmanship as you would find
probably Birmingham product. But
it served my purpose and I was glad
to get it. I took it back to the ho-
tel, treated it with emery and sweet
oil, and it has gone with me, over
land and sea, in constant use, ever
since. Somehow I have never want
ed a better one-the old thing brings
back that lovely January morning,
when the camellias were in bloom in
the Hong-Kong gardens and the
winds of paradise were blowing down

SHIPPING FISH EGGS.
Put Up in Packages Which PROTECT
Them In Transportation to
Any Distance.

Fish eggs are packed for shipment
in small, square, shallow-slatted trays,
designed for the purpose, says the
New York Sun. Over the bottom OF
the tray is spread one thickness OF
canton flannel with the feecy side up,
upon which is single layer OF eggs.
Upon this layer Of eggs is placed one
thickness of cheese cloth and upon
that thin layer of moistened moss.
Other trays, similarly packed, are
then stacked up, one above another,
making what is called nest OF trays.
To the straight side of cube OF trays
thus formed, Stats are lightly nailed
to keep the trays together.
The nest of trays is then placed in
box that is big enough to leave un-
der the nest and all around it space
of three or four inches. This space
is packed with moss or some other
material which cushions the nest OF
trays against jarring or disturbance,
but whose primary purpose is to make
around the eggs well that will help
to keep them at uniform tempera-
ture. In the top Of the package thus
built up there is placed wooden
hopper, in which ice is put, the cool
water produced by its melting perco-
lating downward through the layers
of trays, moss and eggs and keeping
the eggs moist and cool.
The box in which the nest of trays
is thus packed has rope handles on
the outside near the top, by which it
can be conveniently lifted. Fish eggs
thus packed can be shipped any dis
tance with entire safety, requiring
only that the ice in the hopper shall
be renewed on occasion.
How often that may be required de-
pends on the distance, the latitude
and the temperature. Such package
containing lot of 10000 lake trout
eggs received last week at the New
York aquarium from Duluth, Mimi,
reached here with little ice still
left in the hopper. q
In such packages fish eggs are
shipped in entire safety across the
continent and in either direction
across the Atlantic.

Text: 1.-THE Lord OF Hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our refuge. psalm
l5:I
St. Tammany farmer., 1903-05-02

nUT the Lord is more than a mill
- tant Lord leading His hosts to
victory. He is safe refuge into
which His children may withdraw
when the storm is sweeping down
upon them, and they may rest there
until the danger is past. And it is
the God of Jacob Who is our refuge.
Why so? Why not the God of Abra-
ham, or the God of Isaac? We do
not need to go into the history OF
Jacob very far to discover the reason.
Who was it who had to fee for his
life to escape the anger of wronged
brother and who found a resting
place at the gateway of Heaven,
where God met him and made His
covenant with him? Who was it who
soiourned in the land of his jealous
and avaricious father-in-law, who
suffered wrong, who was cheated
and lied to and abused and threat
,, ened, and yet who found the Lord
was with him and giving him great
substance and a numerous progeny
w HO was IL WIZ was CAouOASu "AIAA
the sins of his youth as he journeyed
toward the land from which he had
been forced to flee, and who when he
heard his brother was coming to meet
him with a force of fighting men de-
SPARED of his life? Who was it
sought out God alone that night and
wrestled with Him all night and at
| last found in Him a safe refuge, even
though he halted on his hip through
out the rest of his days? The fugi-
tive Jacob whom God brought back
in honor to the land of promise; the
oppressed Jacob whom God delivered
| with much wealth and large family;
| the threatened and hated Jacob
whom God reconciled to his brother
this is the one who can speak OF
I God as God of refuge. The God OF
! Jacob is the God who never fails His
children when they are in distress
and trouble. To speak of God as the
God of Jacob, to. claim Him as our
i refuge, instantly inspires confidence,
for despite all of Jacobs meanness
and sin and wroug-doing, his faith
St. Tammany farmer., 1903-05-02

TOW may we know that 1.-The Lord
" of Hostssis with us?" By testing
before God our true attitude towards
Him, by searching out underlying mo-
tives when exercising the poeer OF
choice, by turning the searchlight OF
Gods Word upon our lives and discov-
ering the sins Of the inner life and
the outward conduct, and by the evil
dences of experience. Having reas-
sured the heart by the threefold test
ing that 'the Lord of Hosts is with
u.s." then with Hezekiah you can con-
fidently wait until experience proves
that God was indeed with you. 1t may
be long night Of anxiety and uncer-
tainty, but the morning light will re-
veal the dead Assyrians lying all
about, and the triumphant shout will
burst over the citadel of the soul:
Surely. "the Lord of Hosts is with US;
the God of Jacob is our refuge"

churches, for all the pews had been
taken out and converted into horse
troughs for the staff horses. One scene
in the tableaux represented battle
field where women were ministering
to the wounded and the dying, and
one dying soldier, the ensign, had this
old tattered and war-stained flag
grasped in his hand, just as he held it
when he fell. The Spanish command
ant of the post was there with his wife,
and when he discovered the flag, got fu-
riously mad. He jumped up on his
seat and yelled "Take dat ting away,
dat is treason-dat is an insult to me
and de United States. send for
my soldiers and I arrest the whole
party" He ran wildly down the stairs
and across the street to his quarters
and came back quickly with half a
dozen Dutchmen in arms to make the
arrest. He marched the young men
over to his Office, but paroled the
young ladies until he could hear from
Gen. Thomas, whose headquarters

finally he would release the young
men until he could hear from Gen.
Thomas. So wrote to Gen. Thomas
by the same mail. He very gracious
ly forgave us, but warned US not to
do so any more, for the display of q
confederate flag was treason aad the
punishment of treason was death.

reached up by way of the covenant
promises of God and obtained the
needed protection and help. To be
able to claim the God of Jacob as our
refuge is to put confidence in God
Who has met every human need and
given protection in times of greatest

kind of God we need! This is the
kind of God we have!
