There is good reason to congratulate the Worlds
Fair management the fact that the United States
Government favors a generous Philippine appiuptia-
ticn for the exhibit designed for St Louis in 1904.
This exhibit should in many respects be the most in

and it would be deplorable if mistaken spirit Of
economy should result in restricting its fullest posi-

1.-THE end
The Dukes "1hirteen Clock.

An ingenious timekeeping arrange
ment exists today which was designed
by that famous Duke of Bridgewater
who laced South Lancashire with ca
nails and died hundred years ago.
The duke was great SUCKER III puilc-
tuality, and he was annoyed that the
workmen on his estate at Worsley did
not return TO WORK after Ginner as
promptly as they left off wbsn the
clock struck u. When he remonstrat-
ed, he was told that while the work
men always heard the clock strike 10,
they often failed to hear the single
stroke of /. The Duke of Bridgewater
quickly found remedy for this diff
Guilty. He had a clock made that
would strike thirteen times an hour
after noon, and that clock proclaims l
o'clock with bakers dozen of sono-
rous strokes to this day. The "thir-
teen clock" is one of the curiosities OF
Worsley Hall.-Westminster Gazette.

Van Horne took Sidney's place while
the latter was in New York.
All of Mr.. Hestor's property was
in Understanding securities, and
these required little or no attention.
Mr.. Chalmers had not made public,
his suspicious concerning Hestor's
Wall street operations, neither had
any statement been made by Mr..
Morton or others. Sidney found
record of the various transactions In
a safety deposit vault He then
called on Street & Rogers and pre-
sented his credentials. Their books !,
showed that Walter B. Hestor had q
credit of $32,oo0,00o. He had orig
inally purchased 100000 shares of
stock, and had issued Instructions
which had been strictly carried out. |
The money was due from various
banks, trust companies, commission
and brokerage houses. Street &
Rogers had decided not to force pay
ments, fearing to disturb the money
market. Mr.. Hammond Endorsed this
course and instructed them to grad
ually convert the credits into inter
est-bearing securities.
Thus it happened, one fine Septem-
Der afternoon, that the steam yacht
SHARK sailed down the river from
New Orleans, destined for the wa
tiers of the South Pacific. On board
were Walter B. Hestor. Sidney Ham
mond, Il. Sylvester Vincent and Ber-
nard Seymour. Mr.. Vincent and Mr..
Seymour were present at Mr.. Ham-
mond's invitation, and Hestor was
delighted with his new acquaintances.
Vincent had wonderful venture on
hand which demanded his presence
in southern waters, and Mr.. Seymour
proposed to gather the materials for
a book, which, he asserted, would
make them all sit up nights" And
on the deck Of the SHARK" with
Capt. Waters once more in command,
this narrative will leave them.
The later events in the lives Of
these characters must be relegated
to some future chapters. 1t may
be said in closing that the doors Of
the Carmody mansion were not
closed to Mr.. William Chalmers, man
aging editor of the New York Rec
ord.

SEX of Gems.

The Romans. following the Greek
mineralogists, divided gems into males
and females according to the depth or
lightness of their color. These terms
are thus alluded to by Theophrastus:
Both these Cberyl, carbuncle, omphax.
crystal and amethyst and the sard are
found on breaking open certain rocks,
presenting certain differences. but
agreeing in name with each other.
For of the sard the transparent and
blood red sort is called the female,
while the less transparent and darker
kind is termed the male, and the cya-
nus also is named one sort the male
and the other the female, but the
male is the deeper in color of the two"
The cyanus, or cyanos, of the an-
clients is said, though probably incor-
rectly, by many modern mineralogists
to be identical with our sapphire.

Sought to Allay Discomfort.

The authorities endeavored to allay
the popular discomfort arising from these
measures by explaining that they had
been rendered necessary by the very
large number of Italian Iaborers in the
district who are engaged on various pub
lie and private works, and who. recruit
ed from some of the most lawless por-
tions of Italy, just those localities most
notedfor the prevalence OF anarchist ser
timents, constitute a very serious dan
ger to the Emperor. whose life is known
to be threatened by the anarchist lead
ers.
These assertions on the part of the
police were confirmed by the supervision
to which all the Italian workmen in and
around Metz were subjected by the au-
thOrities during the Emperor's stay.
All those whom Ii was possible to
keep under lock and key were thus rem
dered harmless by the police, while the
others were watched day and night by
the swarms of detectives who had coma
from Berlin for the purpose.

about the school. He conceived an an
tipathy to the college men. and when
they gathered on the school lawn to SER
enade the young women, he determined
to drive them away.
Attaching a line of hose to a water
plug. he waited until the collegians
gathered. The white shirt bosoms made
a most attractive target, and when the
serenaders began their rondelay, a
stream of water struck them.
There were yells of dismay from the
college boys and screams of alright
from the young women. who had gath
cred on the roof of a convenient veran-
da to await the serenaders.
The girls went to the rescue of their
friends. They, too, were drenched. This
infuriated the college boys and they
made a mass attack on the man. When
he emerged from the bottom of heap
he was a sight. So were the college
boys. The serenade was not concluded
but the hosepipe went out of business.
