A Remarkab1e Timepiece.

A remarkable timepiece is clock fan manufactured by Swiss jeweler.
 The clock as described by the Jewell ers' Weekly consists of twelve leaves hinged like an ordinary fan. The num- Der of the hour is marked from, to 12 at the end of each of these leaves. The fan timepiece starts at o'clock and expands regularly for twelve hours, when it closes uD and starts over again.

the Massachusetts statesman, breaking into a paternal smile, "said there was nothing new under the sun and that all the Irish bulls were Greek. Now, by the same token, submit every Hiber- nian may claim kinship with Demos themes and Phidias."
 Senator Hoar's absentminded exploit last year of securing the passage by the senate of measure that had al- ready become law recalls the story of the senator which is sometimes told about Worcester. He was at a private dinner attended by number of public men and citizens. One of the guests had just finished an anecdote, and the laugh had scarcely subsided when MT. Hoar started in, saying that reminded him of something, and told over again the same story that the company had just listened to. MT. Hoar's telling was naturally great success, for ev. cry one realized at once that he had been thinking of other matters when the story was being told the first time but had caught barely enough of the thing to be reminded of the anecdote as it lay in the recesses of his own mind. It should be added that little foibles like this have only endeared MT. Hoar to the people of Massachu- setts.
 Senator Hoar as a member of the Philippines committee was one of the most punctilious. Sadly enough, how ever, some of the evidence presented to the committee was prosy and tire some, and the venerable senator ire quently nodded over the drowsy evi- dence. One time he aroused himself just as the witness was talking about corporal punishment of a prisoner. The senator from Massachusetts aroused himself and said, with dignity: "Corpo- ral punishment? I would like to have the witness state the name of the cor poral and the regiment to which he was assigned. This will give us q chance to get at the facts better" It is needless to say there was a smothered smile, and when the circumstances were explained to the senator he laughed with the rest.
 When some years ago the Boston pa pers announced the serious illness of Judge Hoar group of his friends, ob- serving the senator at breakfast in q ciubroom, hurried over for informa- ton.
 "Oh, yes," replied the senator genial ly, 'my brother was i'll. His family were all off, and was away, and there was not person to differ from him. He was lonely as one katydid without another to cry katydidn't. I came back to town, hurried up to see him, contradicted everything he said, and we had arguments. Now heis better much better. He will soon be himself again"
 . Senator Tillman pronounces the word "gyrate" as if the "g' was hard He says "guy-rate." So does Senator Fora ker.
 When the pronunciation fell upon the ears of Senator Hoar he shrugged his shoulders. Being a stickler for cor rect English, 1t was remarkable that he did not express in the open senate his sorrow at hearing word mispro. nounced. ,3f
 ''It is 'ji-rate,'" he said later when some one asked him about the word. But" he added, T haven't the time to play schoolmaster here."

Senator Hoar was quite match for the Irish blarney that came his way a year ago in Worcester when the oldest Irish organization in the town did him honor on his seventy seventh birthday. Alderman McMahon, president of the United Irish league, declared that the senator had done more for the Irish American in New England than any other man.
 Thank you, sir" responded Mir. Hoar, ''but the handsomest compli- ment ever paid the Irish was paid by Wendell Phillips"
 What was that, senator?' chornsed a dozen voices.

"A sure way to break yourself OF the

shaved is 10 travel in Europe" said a
man who has Travelled. II remember
that when / first went to Europe /
thought that / would never be able to
learn 10 shave myself and that I was
helpless so far as this was concerned
| didn't finish my trip through Europe
before took up shaving, and now i
shave myself all the time. The barber
shops in Europe, except in England
and few of the larger cities, are the
worst of their Kind in the world. There
nre no modern conveniences and mighty
little of 81 sanitary nature. The chairs
are uncomfortable, and the BARRIERS are
Indifferent about how they shave you
or what they do with you. They place
a big bowl in your lap, and when they
have finished with you the supposition
is that you will wash your own face in
the bowl. There is none of the little
luxuries we have over here in the way
of bay rum, witch hazel, hot towels,
hot water, ETC. The American barber
shops are the neatest and cleanest in
the world, without exception. Wash

Mr.. LeclSy's Torrent of Speech.
A very brilliant Irish lady some years

meet an able and famous Irishman of
very advanced opinions in, politics. 1t
was intended that they should eE-
change views, and the freshman had a
good deal to say about Mr.. Lecky' S

what he had to say in the most eff
fective language. The door opened and
Mr.. Lecky was announced. He was in
troduced to the Irishman, and before
the latter had time to say anything the
historian began a political harangue
which he kept going without cessation
the whole time he was eyre. The
Irishman ut first tried to brseIk in with
word, but he was swept away, as it
were, in tl.e unceasing flow of Mr.,
Lecky's language; so after time lie
sat in amused bewilderment. waiting
until nature gave out. But when Mr..
Lecky felt he was getting exhausted he
rose from his Schair, shook hands with
the hostess and her guest. keeping OH
talking all the time. They came out
with him to the top of the staircase,
but could not get a word edgeways
even then. as he talked all the way
down to the door and was even in an
unfinished sentence when the door was
shut behind him. They looked at each
other and roared.- Freeman's Journal

MexicO's Hot Penner sellers,

The hot pepper seller of Mexico is
a merchant who derives his livelihood
from the fact that the Mexican must
have his peppers, whatever else he may
deny himself. They are brought to his
door by the countryman, or he may go
to the market place and find them
spread out for sale on mating. The
market man, while dressed inexpen-
sively as far as his bodily garb is con-
cerned, wears in nearly every instance
an elaborate head covering.
Some of these MeXicans own hats
that cost as much as the resi- of their
wardrobe The pride of the white man
in his panama is not to be compared to
that of the Mexican in his sombrero.
1t is a racial characteristic which finds
its counterpart in the apron of the
Portuguese onion seller. Her occupa-
ton may be lowly, but her apron might
be that of woman of higher degree.
Plush edged with fur is not uncom-
neutrality-suspicious. Magazine.

II have often wondered if all cats
like olives" remarked q Germantown
woman who is very fond of the feline
tribe. "All mine do, and l have six.
Olives are usually an acquired taste
with the human race, but cats seem to
take to them naturally; at least mine
do. An olive will set any one of them
into paroXysms of joy. They will leave
milk or fish or any other article of food
for it, purring and rolling over it much
as though it might have the intoxicat-
ing effect of catnip before they finally
eat it. l have often tried olives on
other cats in the houses of friends and
have found them equally appreciative,
only they prefer their olives cut up
into pieces. "-Philadelphia Record.
