A Vegetable Chair.

One of the most wonderful pieces Of
furniture in the world is the vegetable
chair which came from Corea, and has
grown from a single seed, planted
twcnty-six years ago. The seed was
that of a gingko tree. In fertile soil
and amid sunshine and rain the seed
grew into a vine. which tie native gar
dener set about to fashion by ingen-
ious twistings, compressions, and
trainings into an arm chair.
SSfGch pruning was necessary in or
der to make the lower branches de-
velop in size and strength. The chair
was carefully formed, by tying the
young and pliabie branches together
with strong fibre ropes, and as the tree
expanded the ropes held firm.
The chair werghs" s"moresthan-zun1
hundred pounds, and is even harder,
sturdicr and more imperishable than
oak. 1t is three feet four inches in
height, and twenty-five inches in
width, and some Of the knots which
formed between the binding ropes are
twenty-one inches in circumference.
The bark has been removed, and the
surface, which is golden brown In
color, has taken fine polish, and In
spite of its look of lumpy antagonism
1t is quite as comfortable as the con-
ventional factory made chair.

PEARLS OF THOUGHT

Mammon is the mother of misery.
Faith is the fire of all true genius.
Men need soft hearts in hard times.
Better be a good servant than bad
son.
The sense of guilt adds stings to our
griefs.
Conceit is not an ingredient Of con-
secration.
The losses of childhood are the gains
Of manhood.
Each man thinks his match as big
as the other mans torch.
One mans dollar is not nearly as
big as another mans dime.
That half the world are fools is only
the opinion of the other half.
The search for singularity oft in
wolves the sacrifice of sincerity.
There is a good deal Of difference
between punishment and chastisement.
The man who says there is no truth
in the world has mistaken mirror for
the universe.
If you hide your sins in the cellar
they will be sure to make themselves
known in the parlor.-Ram's Horn.

HOW TIME is MADE.
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
reckoning time, but he turns mis-
attention to some of the regular,
steady-going stars, or fixed stars" as
they are called. Every clear night
an astronomer with a big telescope
looks at certain of these stars and
makes his calculation from which he
can tell just when the sun would
cross the 18th meridian One of the
great clocks in the observatory is
called the transmitter, because 1t
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 twelve
switch is turned on and the beats of
the pendulum of this clock are sent
by electricity oTer the wires to the
telegraph Offices in Washington and
New York. When the telegraph op-
orators hear this sound on their instru-
ments they know that the neon sig
nal is about to be sent out and they
at once begin to connect the telegraph
wires with other towns and cities, un-
til in a minute or two the "tick,
of tho clock at Washington is heard
in hundreds of telegraph Offices. The
beats stop at 10 seconds before II as
a notice that the next '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 i'll great
many cities-usually on top of some
prominent building, where they can
easily be seen. The one at Washing
ton is on the roof of the state, war and
navy department building, at the top
of a high pole, ready to drop the in
slant the signal comes over the wire.
In the government Offices at Washing
ton and in many places in other cities
thfere are !arge-clocks-co connected with
the observatory by electricity. These
are so arranged that when the IL
o'clock signal is flashed over the wires
the hands of each one of these clocks
spring to 70, no matter what time the
clock may show; in this way hundreds
of clocks are set to the correct time
each day.
Well, the moment the sun is sup
posed to cross the 18th meridian, the
telegraph instruments give single
tick, the time balls drop, the clocks
begin to strike, and everybody in the
district knows it is II oclock.-Clif-
ford Howard, in ST. Nicholas.
