TWO REMARKABLE CLOCKS.
Wonderful Old Timepiece Owned by
Arkansas Lady.

Wonderful Old Timepiece Owned by
Arkansas Lady.
Mrs. A. G. Robinson of ITO Summit
avenue, this city, OWNS two curious
and ancient clocks which are the Won
der OF ali who have cen them. Al
though these clocks are lac and $50
years old, respectively, they keep per-
feet time.
One Of the clocks was made by
Henry Roi Of Hamburg, Germany, in
1853. This clock is eight and one-half
feet tall and is very simple of con-
~struction. It's works are made OF
brass and consist of a couple of wheels
to which are attached two weights
of fifteen pounds each. The strings
that hold the weights in position are
| made Of catguts and are the same
that Herr Ooi put in the clock when
he made it. The pendulum consists
OF a concaye brass disc filed with
lead and Suspended by a single piece
Eaof fexibIg steel. The gong is made
| of brass and has a remarkably clear
sound. This gong has the word
Worms" in old German letters across
the fact of it and it is supposed that
| it was made in the city of Worms, in
| Germany. The face is made Of a kind
of sheet steel and is painted black
on the back side. The front is paint
ed white and has flower decorations.
These decorations are Characteristic
of German decorative work. All the
decorations on the woodwork ire hand
carved and represent a great deal OF
patient labor. The works are in q fine
state OF preservation, and Mrs. Robin
son says that a repairer has, never
touched the works since the clock has
been in the family.
It was first purchased in the United
states by a Mr.. Nolan of Boston, ant

To Dress for a Photograph.

"The sort of clothes wcfG by a per-
son when posing for a photograph has
a great deal to do with the C or
failure Of the photographer in secur-
ing a good picture" Mr.. J. J. Fergu-
son informs me.
Take a waist of silk. with a glis-
tening or polished surface. Such a
garment cannot be made to take well
in a photograph, and will give a Pc
culiar effect to it that nine out of
ten women will not like; yet, when
the fact is pointed out to them, they
may refuse to believe it. Another
thing that does not lend itself well to
Photographic purposes when made up
into garments is goods of a positive
pattern, such as large plaids, wide
stripes, and 80 forth. Dresses Of these
goods may look we'll on the wearer,
and perhaps in a few not de-
tract from the effect in a photograph,
but as q general proposition they
ought to be tabooed by women when
having their pictures taken by any
Photographic process. Sharp contrasts
in pronounced cofors ought to be
strictly avoided, and jet Or other glis-
tening or %glitteTing jewelry should
not be worn, for the light is reflected
from them sometimes in such a way
as to spoil almost completely the pic
ture:
Stiff materials in dresses are also
apt to act as a contributing cause to
an unsatisfactory photograph. Goods
that will fall into soft and graceful
folds is the best for a dress to be
photographed in, for the artistic posi-
bilities in it's arrangement are well
nigh limitless. Sharp, harsh lines at
| the neck and wrist are bad as well.
| Did you ever notice that when a wo-
man wears some soft chiffon or some.
| thing OF that sort about her neck the
photograph is always more pleasing
than when she wears a stiff collar OF
stock.
"All of these things l have mention.
ed help to give a photograph that
quality which causes a woman to say
it isn't entirely satisfactory, ever
though the features may be excellent,
Skilled photographers know these
things, and try tt have their custom.

Bread.

Baron Steuben says that the pecul-
lar healthfulness Of the Prussian SOL
diers was in a great measure to be
attributed to their ammunition bread,
made Of grain, triturated or ground,
but not bolted, and which was account
ed the most wholesome and nutritious
part Of their rations. The Dutch sail
ors, in the days Of their naval glory,
were supplied with the same kind of
bread. During the war between Eng
Land and France, lear the close OF the
last century, wheat became very
scarce. William Pitt was the Prime
Minister, and at his instance the gov
eminent recommended to the people
gnerally throughout the country to
substitute potatoes and rice as far as
possible for bread. in order to save
the wheat for the foreign army. The
scarcity was alarming, and Parliament
passed a law to take effect for two
| years that the army at home should
be supplied with bread made of I'M
bolted wheat meal, solely for the pur-
pose Of making the wheat go as far
as possible, thus saving as much as
they could from the home coaAaS otion
for the better supply of the army ON
the Continent. Throughout the whole
OF Great Britain the soldiers were
supplied with this coarse bread. After
two or three weeks the men began to
be much pleased with it and preferred
it to the fine flour bread. The result
was that not only the wheat was made
to go much farther, but the health of
the soldiers improved so manifestly
that it became a matter of common
remark among themselves, and of OBJ
servation and surprise among the Of
fieers and physicians of the army.
These gentlemen publicly declared
that the soldiers were never SO
healthy nor so robust before, and that
disease Of every kind had almost dis.
appeared from the army. The public
papers were for months filled with
Communications for this bread.-Pres.
