some interesting legends. There was
once a larony of Barnbougle. and the
legend is that strange apparition
made its appearance when baron
was about to die. This apparition took
the form of a black man accompanied
by a fearsome locking hound Their
favorite spot was jutting piece of
coast now called Hound point after the
dog. As for the black man. he sound

Barnbougle upon bugle. The worn

TO AWAKEN THE DEAF.
Alarm Clock With Attachments In
Sures Puncfuatitv

sures Punctuality.
An alarm clock for deaf mutcs is
the novel invention of Elisha Cretzer
a deaf mute in the employ of the
Washoe smelling plant. who resides at
ID BlFca street. How to awaken
at certain hour has long been a
problem among these unfortunate peO-
pie and in Mr.. Cretzcr's invention
the solution has been found says the
Anaconda Standard. OF course, the
or"Inary alarm clock has been useless.
Mr Cretzer, who is an ingenious fel-
low, is a water and fume tender at
the Washoe smelter His work ncces
States his rising at an early hour in
the morning. and as he has no means
OF awakening he has lost many days
OF work by being late. He accordingly
set about inventing an apparatus by
which he could always be on time
me dropping OF a pillow on the
sleeping person is the awakening
agent, and it is operated so that the
pillow falls at the desired time. An
ordinary alarm clock is placed in q
cigar box, which fits it closely. 1t is
theh nailed to the wall at the head of
the bed. string connects the clap
per OF the alarm clock with an ordi-
nary spring mouse trap fastened to
the top OF the cigar box. By sys-
tenn of small pulleys and screweyes a
pillow Is fastened to the end of
string and pulled to the ceiling direct
~ above the bed An ingenious ar
rangement connects the other end of
the string to the mouse trap. The
clock is set and when the alarm goes
off the string attached to the bel,
clapper springs the mouse trap and
releases the pillow. which drops on
the person sleeping in the bed be-
meath.

His mother. Harriet Duckett, a free

In the social condition of the two she
was compelled to live apart from him
at Harper's Ferry. When John Brown
made his appearance at that place his
arrival was known only to few free
colored people tnereabouts. Notable
among these was Harriet Duckett.
On the day that Brown became a
martyr to the cause which he believed
to be right throngs of curious people
came to view his execution. After

Reading Character by Mans Lip
Adornment


Women who wish to know the char
acter of their men friends should. if
they wear mustacnios, observe them
closely.
AS the form of the upper lip and
the regions about it have largely to
do with the feelings pride, selfreli
ance, manliness. vanity and other
qualities that give selfcolhrol the
mustache is connected with the eX-
preston of those qualities or the re-
verse.
When the mustache is ragged and,
as it were, flying hitner and thither,
there is lack of self-control When
1t is straight and orderly, the reverse
is the case, other things, of course,
taken into account
II there is tendency to curl at
the outer ends of the mustache, there
is tendency to ambition. vanity and
display.
When the curl turns upward there
is geniality. combined with a love Of
appreciation. When the inclination is
downward there is more sedate
turn OF mind, not unaccompanied
with gloom.
1t is worthy Of remark that good ma
tured men will. in toying with the
mustache, invariably give it an up-
ward inclination. whereas cross
grained or morose men will pull it
obliquely downward.-St Stray Stories.
