Out of Tune.

A piano tuner employed by a city
firm was sent to a certain suburb to
tune piano. He found the instrument
in good condition and not iii the least
need Of attention.
A few days later the firm received a
letter from the owner of the piano, a
lady of musical intention, stating that
the piano had not been properly tuned.
It was no better than before.
After receiving a reprimand from his
employer the hapless tuner made an
other trip to the suburbs and again
tested every note, only to find, as be-
fore, no fault with the instrument
This time he told the lady so.
YES" she said, sit does seem all
right, doesn't it, when you play on it,
but as soon as I begin to sing it gets
all out of tune again"

How Wells Clock Strikes.

The great clock Of Wells cathedral in
England was built in 1922 for Glaston-
bury abbey and ran $50 years before
it was removed to Wells.
The striking mechanism of the clock
is very curious and elaborate. Above
the dial is little battlemented turret,
with four knights on horseback, armed
with lances, standing guard round it
AT some distance from the clock itself,
near the end of the transept, is a life
size painted figure, quantity ugly, with
a battleaX in it's hand, while outside
the cathedral is a second large dial,
guarded by two tall figures of knights
in armor.
When the gilt stars noint to the hour,
the painted figure ok Blandivir, as
he is called by the country people about
Wells, no one knows Why strikes the
quarters by striking his heels against
two bells behind him and then tolls the
great bell of the clock by striking it
with his battleax. The two standing
knights in armor strike the outside bell
with their halberds, and at the first
stroke of tie great bell the four knights
ON horseback over the inside dial start
at gallop and rush round and round
which one knight is thrown from his
horse and regains his seat in every
revolution.

Chicago, Dec q. -. Undertakers'
wagons and street cars are used at
Chicago to convey the dead to the

of the superior court. The remains of
Judge Hutchinson were taken to Oak

His study of the Heart.

In his memoirs Adolf Kussmaui re-

banker. This banker was known for
his naughty, forbidding manners; con-

anatomy, was much surprised one day
when the banker came and sat with
him in a railway car and, after pleas
ant chat, asked him all sorts of ques-
tons, especially about the anatomy Of
the heart. The next day he even called
by permission in the medical depart
ment and watched the professor dis
secting one of those organs. Then he
drove home, and few hours later it
became known that he had committed
suicide by skillfully plunging a dagger
into his heart.
