CONSENT EASILY WON.

The Reason a Little Girl Agreed to .
Painful Operation.
There is one little girl in Washington
who recently gave her parents an ex-
hibition of her nature for which they
were totally unprepared. The child
was cross eyed, and her affection was a
source Of extreme annoyance to herself
and family. An oculist was consulted,
who advised an operation to remedy
the defect, and so it was decided to
take the little one to hospital in Bal
tlmore. The utmost secrecy was OBJ
served, in the matter. Miss Annie had
once made great fuss about having a
tooth pulled, and, of course. it was to
be expected that she would enter seri-
GUS objections to an operation on her
eyes, says the Washington Post.
She was taken to Baltimore under
the impression that she was going on
a pleasure trip with her father and
mother. When they arrived at the hos
pital, the mother took her daughter in
her lap and nervously preached the
real object of the trip. She set forth
In all its triple horror the emDarrass-
ment which is the lot of the cross eyed
person, stating that the trouble would
increase as she grew older.
snow, Annie" she said finally. I'VE
have brought you over here to have
your eyes Strengthened. 1t won't hurt
you at all. Wouldn't you like to have
your eyes like other peoples
You just bet would" exclaimed
Annie, to the aston1shment of the 9th
ers. .You can go ahead and do any
thing you want, and ! don't care how
much it hurts. I'm just sick and tired
Of having pack of colored boys spit
into their hats and cross their fingers
every time they meet me.
The operation was performed forth
with. and the young lady has as good
. pair Of eyes as anybody in Washing
ton.

HOW TIME is MADE.
Uncle Sam Regulates His Clocks By
One of the Fixed Stars

Uncle Sam Regulates His Clocks BY
One of the Fixed Stars.
Strange as it may seem, Uncle Sam
does not make use of the sun for reck-
Oning time, but he turns his attention
to some of the regular steady going
stars, or fixed stars" as they are
called. Every clear night an astrono-
mer with a big telescope looks at GER
tain of these stars and makes his cal
culations, from which he can tell just
when the sun would cross the seventy
fifth meridian. One of the great clocks
in the observatory is called the trans
mitter, because it transmits or sends
out the signal that keeps standard
time. This clock is set and regulated
by the star time, and then every day
at three minutes and fifteen seconds
before IL switch is turned on, and the
beats of the pendulum of this clock are
sent by electricity over the wires to the
telegraph offices in Washington and
New York. When the telegraph oper-
ators hear this sound on their instru-
ments, they know that the noon signal
is about to be sent out and they at
once begin to connect the telegraph
wires with other towns and cities until
in a minute or two the ,."tick, tick" of
the clock at Washington is heard in
hundreds of telegraph Offices The
beats stop~xxn7econds before u, as
notice that the next !t.tick" will be
the noon signal and so as to give the
operators time to connect their wires
with the standard time balls and clocks.
There are time balls in great many
c1tles-usually on top Of some promi-
nent building, where they can easily be
seen. The one at Washington is on the
roof of the state, war and navy depart
ment building, at the top of high pole,
ready to drop the instant the signal
comes over the wire In the govern
ment offices at Washington and in
many places in other cities there are
large clocks connected with the OBJ
servatory by electricity. These are so
arranged that when the ~ O'Clock sig
nal is flashed over the wires the hands
of each one of these clocks spring to
Il, no matter what time the clock NAV
show. In this way hundreds of clocks
are set to the correct time each day.
Well, the moment the sun is supposed
to cross the seventy-fifth meridian the
telegraph instruments give a single
tick, the time balls drop, the clocks be-
gin to strike and everybody in the Dis
trict knows it is II o'clock.-St. Nicho-

Wasp's Method of Attack.

One, accustomed to animals and not to

live in the midst of human dwellings

species, true to inherited instinct, when
it attacks unfamiliar human beings at
