days, one Of the kind that have a lit
tie door at the top in front, out Of
which springs little bird every sixty
minutes and calls the hours with a
cuckoo" for each unit Of the hour.
After the crow had been In the fam
lily about two years he began to mock
the clock cuckoo, and this finally grew
to be a passion with him, so that he
hardly ever failed to give a melodious
cav when the clock cuckoo was call
ing the hour. Some six months ago,
by reason OF an accident to the shelf
on which 1t was standing, the clock
fell and the striking, or cuckoo. part
was completely broken, so the door
never opens and the bird never comes
out. This appeared to be a great puz-
zle to Bob, for he watched the clock
for several days and seemed to be
studying deeply. At last, however, he
came to a conclusion and greatly star
tied the family by taking up the duty
the cuckoo had previously performed,
and counting out the hours perfectly
at the exact moment with a clear call
Of cav" for each hour the clock ought
to have struck, one for l o'clock, five
for o'clock, and so on around the
circle. He has kept up his work to
the present time and calls every hour
when he can see the face Of the clock,
as regularly and perfectly as an or,li-
nary timepiece with its hammer and
bell.
If a lamp is set at night where the
light falls on the face Of the clock, the
crow, though he will doze between
times on his perch, will waken and
call every hour all night long. More
than this, II a lamp be kept lighted
and a pin be thrust into the wooden
face OF the clock so that the minute
hand will pass over 1t but the hour

clock at any hour of the morning, be

1t as soon as the clock stops and raise

one gets up and comes and removes

Catarrh OF the kidneys is very COM

People have kidney disease. They

Kidney disease and catarrh are seldom

The Right and the Wrong.

1t is right to work for our daily
bread. and for use to others in what
ever form may present itself The
wrong way of doing it makes unnec.
essary strain. over fatigue and illness.
The right way of working gives new
power and JOY in the work.
1t is right for most people to sleep
eight hours every night The wrong
way of doing it is to go to sleep all
doubled up. and to continue to work
all night in our sleep, instead Of Civ
ing up and resting entirely. The right
way gives us the fullest possible
amount Of rest and refreshment.
1t Is right to take our three meals a
day. and all the nourishing food we
we need. The wrong way of doing it,
is to eat very fast. without chewing
our food carefully. and to give our
stomachs no restful opportunity OF
preparation to receive Its food, or ia
take good care Of it after 1t is re.
ceived. The right way gives us the
opportunity to assimilate the food en-
tirely. so that every bit of fuel we
put into our bodies is burnt to some
good purpose. and makes us more
truly ready to receive more.
1t Is right to play and amuse our
selves for rest or recreation. We play
in the wrong when we use ourselves
up in the strain Of playing. in the anx.
iety lest we should not win in game,
or when we play in bad air.-Leslie's
Monthly.
