CountrIded.


Do they call you "countrined"f
Let II be your JOY and pride.
You. who love the birds and bees,
And the whispers of the trees!
Trust me. friend of flowers and grass,
Little brown-faced lad and lass,
Nausht in all the world beside
Equals being "countrified."
Up of mornings when the light
Reddens on the mountain height;
fearing how the bird-throats swell
With the joy they cannot tell:
Conscious that the morning sings
Like harp with unseen strings,
Over which the breszes glide;
This IL being "countrihed."
Roaming far, on summer days.
Or when the autumn woodlands blaze;
Learning how TO catch and tell
Natures precious secrets well;
Filled with sunshine. heart and face,
Or where branches interlace
Dappied like the shy trouts side;
This is being "countrifed."
What though little ht to pose
IN the city's ways and clothes7
There 10 vastly more to love
In the brown of natures glove.
Health and happiness and tan
Are best fashions for 4 man.
An who near to God abide
Are. In some way, "countrihed."

New York,s "pIamond Rooms"


Only men and women who want to
purchase an expensive set of Jewels,
say $1,000 worth or upward. get a
glimpse of the diamond rooms" as
they are called, in the big New York
jewelers. shops. Gems worth less
than that usually are kept in show
cases and examined in trays at the
counters. But II a customer wants to
make a larger purchase. a diamond
necklace with pearl pendant. worth
from $4,000 to $4,000. for instance,
he is shown into a parlor where he
can examine the Jewels more at his
leisure and see the salesman weigh
them on the most carefully balanced
scales. These parlors as a rule. are
luxuriously but simply furnished, and
are convenient to the safes.
1t Is not an unusual thing at this
season of the year for a salesman in a
well established store to make three
or four sales a day, ranging from $12.-
900 to 100000. A man selecting a
scarfpin in a fashionable jewelers. the
other day heard one salesman ask
another:
Much doing?"
And the reply was:
Rather slow. Only forty-two thou

NOTHING NEW IN .aNs.
Custom of Marking Business Houses
Gasa Rark IN Ancienf GEaaeA

Custom of Marking Business Houses
Goes Back to Ancient Greece.
The custom of marking a business
house by means of sign Is OF very
ancient origin, says December st.
Nicholas. In the great cities OF the
East and among the ancient Egyp-
tians such a practice must have been
unnecessary, as all trades were classi.
ned and confined to certain sections
Of the city, and then all wares were
exposed to full view, as they were
displayed in open booths.
The history of Grecian sign boards
Is meager, yet the allusion os Aristo-
planes and Lucian to sign boards war
rants our belief In their use by the
Greeks. Athenaeus tells us "He hung
the well-known sign in front of his
house"
Advancing to Roman times, there is
abundant evidence of signs, as the
discoveries of Pompeii and Hercula-
neum amply testify. In the Eternal
City some of the streets derived their
names from signs; Just as hundreds
OF London streets have been so named.
The Roman street "Vicus Ursi Pileati"
was named from the sign, for, as the
name indicates, 1t was the street of
1.-THE Bear with the Hat on" But it
was not until late in the fifteenth
century that the custom gained a
footing In England, first of all among
the taverns and ale houses. Later
came the necessity of distinguishing
between certain shops. brought about
by the fact that the houses were not
numbered. and the people could not
read word signs even II they had been
lettered In gold

CLOCK MADE OF BREAD.
Remarkable TImepiece the Product Of
Poor Italian.

Remarkable TImepiece the Product Of
Poor Italian.
A clock made entirely OF bread has
been exhibited at Milan. The works
are comparatively large, and for sew
eral years kept good time. The maker
was a native of Milan, who devoted
three years of his time to the task.
He was very poor. and, being without
means to purchase the necessary
metal for making a clock, he set apart
regularly each day part of his
bread. eating the crusts and saving
the soft part. To solidify this he made
use Of a certain kind of salt, and
when the various pieces became dry
they were perfectly hard and insolu-
BILE in water.
Another strange clock exhibited
some years ago In London was con-
structed of pins. buttons and all sorts
Of odds and ends by pauper named
Mercer. The back and front of the
clock were made of iron bed laths,
while the barrel was part of large
brass ferule, the ends being brass
buttons hammered out. The barrel
arbor had been originally the blaze
of .shoemaker's awl; the main ard
several other wheels were rothirS
more or less than suspender buttons
from his own trousers, while the cog
teeth were portions of bygone knit
ting needles. The teeth of the center
wheels had once been rivets. In the
dial there were 100 separate pieces.
