HOW TIME IN THE u. S. IS MADE. Uncle Samuel Always Regulates His
 Clocks by One Fixed Star.
ford Howard i'm st. Nicholas.

Clifford Howard in St. Nicholas.
 Strange as it may seem, Uncle Sam does not make use of the sun for reckoning time, but, as already described fin St. Nicholas, he turns his attention Ito some of the regular, steady going stars, or fixed stars" as they arg called Every clear night an astronqtner with big telescope looks at cePtain of these stars and makes his calueations. from which he can tell just when the sun would cross the seventy-hfth meridian. One of the great clocks in the observatory Is called the transmtter, 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 12 switch is turned on and the beats of the pendulum of this clock are sent by elec- tricity over the wires to the telegraph offices in Washington and New York. When the telegraph operators hear this sound on their instruments 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 at ten seconds before 12 as DOllCe that lnt ltAl tlCh VIII Dt lHe noon signal, and so as to give the opera tors time to connect their wires with the standard timeballs and clocks. There are timeballs In a great many cities-usually on top of some prominent building, where they can easily be seen. The one at Wash ington Is on the roof of the State, War and Navy department building, at the top of high pole, ready to drop the instant the signal comes over the wire. In the government offices at Washington and in many places In other cities there are large clocks connected with the obser- Vatory by electricity. These are so ar ranged that when the 12 o'clock signal is flashed over the wires the hands of each one of these clocks spring to 12, no matter what time the clocks may show; in this way hundreds of clocks are set to the correct time each day.
 Well, the moment the sun Is supposed 60 cross the seventy-fifth meridian, the telegraph instruments give a single tick, the tmebails drop. the clocks begin to strike. and everybody in the district knows 1t is 12 o'clock.

reckon you'll be willin' to buss me, honey, the next time you see me"
 If you have earned 1t, MT. Sanders" said Nan, trying to smile.
 Thereupon MT. Sanders waved his hand miscellaneously, as he would have de- scribed 1t, and moved away at clipping gait, stirring up quite cloud of dust as he went He reached Halcyondale, and at once sought out Major Tomlin Perdue, and found that telegram had already been sent to Captain Buck Sanford, whose prompt reply over the wire had been, "All skue vee," which was satisfac- tory as any other form of reply would have been-more so, perhaps, for It showed that the captain was in high good humor.
 MT. Tidwell and Colonel Blasengame arrived in time to eat a late supper, and the next morning found them all ready to take the train for Malvern. Major Per due and MT. Sanders were in high feather
 Somehow their spirits always rose when doubtful issue was to be faced. It seemed that everything either one of them said reminded the other of story or a humorous incident, and they kept the car in a roar until Malvern was reached
 MT. Sanders did not go at once to the nOIel, put IuTIleu HIS dllG0tlOH tO tHe Nd- rious details which he had arranged for. MT. Tidwell went to the hotel opposite the railway station, while Major Perdue and Colonel Blasengame for obvious req sons, went to the rival hotel. There they found Captain Buck Sanford lounging about with a Winchester rifle slung across his shoulder. great many peo- pie were interested when this pale and weary looking little man appeared in pub lie with a gun in his hands and he was compelled to answer many questions. To all he made the same reply, namely, that he had been out practcing at target.
 I'm getting so I can't miss" he said to Major Perdue "I wasted twenty-four cartridges trying to miss the bulls eye. but 1 couldn't do it. I don't know what to make of it." he complained. There must be something wrong with me. That kind of shooting don't look reasonable"
 Then he left his gun with clerk in the hotel and taking Major Perdue by the arm, went into a corner and discussed the scheme which MT. Sanders had mapped out. They were joined presently by Col onel Blasengame; and as they sat there, whispering together, and making many emphatic gestures they were the center of observation. and word went around that some personal difficulty, in which those noted men were to act together, was imminent

WRONG CAT, COURT SAYS,
om the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
 The Appellate term of the Supreme court has upheld judgment of the Muni- cipal court by which it was adjudged that Mrs Sarah Jennings was not the owner of "a certain Persian Angora cat" for the value or recovery of which she lost her cat last June and alleged that she had seen it for sale at the store thereafter. She claimed 1t as hers, but failed to get it. When she began suit the cat had been sold, and at the trial evidence was given that the cat not only came from Maine; but differed in gender from the cat she had lost. Her suit was dismissed, but so confident was she Of her case that she took an appeal

HINTS FOR RIGHT LIVING.

One man who has done more to teach the Aneri- can people how to care for their bodies than almost any other is pr. K. V. Pierce, of Buffalo N. Y.
 the Author of the "Common Sense Medical Ad- wiser" He says It is not the quantity of the food eaten which produces strength and health (or some people can keep strong on a very meagre det, but it is how much food is a6so,6ed and assimilated by the blood and carried to nourish every organ of the body. It is, therefore, vitaly necessary for the body that the stomach be in healthy state If disease of the stomach or what is called Stomach trouble" prevents proper nutrition then the heart, liver lungs and kidneys do not get proper food-they not fed rich red blood, and in consequence, begin to show signs of distress. Outwardly these signs may be pimples and erup- tions on skin pale face sleepless nights, tired, languid feelings, or, by reason of the nerves not being fed on pure blood, they become starved, and we receive zOa'zt,.g in the pain call neuralgia. Rheumatism, too, is blood disease After years of practice and study Dr. Pierce found that of his prescriptions made from the extracts of several plants, invariably produced tonic effect upon the system It helped the process of absorption of the healthy elements in the food and increased the red corpusces of the blood as well as eliminated the poisons from the system This Alteratve Extract he named "Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery" medicine made entirely of botanical extracts and which does not contain alcohol. Some blood medicines do, and when alcohol touches the little red blood co-puscles they begin to shrink and are reduced to broken fragments and shapeess masses.
