OLD oLoCKMAKER OF MAINE.

My father was a Maine man, and maker of clocks, who took great pride in his mechanical skill,'' said k. F. Swan of Boston.
 ''I have in my house now one of the clocks that he made, higher than I am by good many inches. It is over d hundred years old, but shows little signs of wear and keeps as perfect time as one of the modern regulators. man came along the other day and offered me a great big sum for the old timepiece, but I hadn't the heart to let it go. There are not many like it in New England, for the collectors of antique furniture have pretty well cleared the country of them. Not long ago I saw in a Boston antique store another of my grandsire's clocks, a mate to my own, which the dealer gravely assured me was POO years old.
 '"There was a time in my grand fathers career when he realized that the machine made clocks were going to put him out of business, and he saw that his craft was doomed He had about 200 clocks in stock, and a plan of disposing of them came into his head. Gathering up his household goods, he moved all of his possessions to the Maine coast, where lived a great many ship captains, men of sub- stance. These the old man waited on in their homes and left with each one of his clocks, saying they could try it and keep it if it suited. Six or eight weeks he made the same rounds, and out of all the scores he had left not one was he allowed to bring away. Every solitary one of his clocks was taken, and I have often heard him tell with glee of the cows and calves and sheep and fowls and other like things that he took in part payment for his clocks.

Members of Bow Wong woy s0caexx
 Have Their Cues Cut or.
 The Bow Wong Woy society is na1xs ing considerable headway among Chi nese residents in Washington, and. ac~. cording to reports of Chinamen there the society is progressing in many of the large cities of the United States, says the Philadelphia Public Ledger The object Of the Bow Wong Woy is to break down the superstition and make it lie the United States, as one Chinaman of Washington explained
 Our people are too much filled bY superstition and are kept in ignorance of their own country and, what would be for it's advancement z said the Chi naman. 'sThe dowager empress has too much authority, and we would Ike to have her deprived of much of the power she now exercises"
 That the members of the Bow Wong Woy are in earnest is shown by the fact that they have decided to mark their disapproval of one of China's an- cient customs by having their cues cut off The Chinese barbers in Washing ton have been doing lively business in removing cues from their country men and trimming their hair after the American fashion.
 It is said that POO of the 800 Chinss men in Boston and. large number ir Philadelphia have had their cues cuf of.
