SETTING THE CLOCK FAST.
A Pleasant Sort of Deception COm-
mon to Many People.

A Pleasant Sort of Deception Com
mon to Many People.
1t is a common thing to find the
clocks in nine out of ten households
either fifteen riinutes or half an hour
fast. and should you happen to be in a
hurry or mention the fact that YOU
have to be going you are at once reas-
sured by the fact that you have no
cause to hurry, as the clock is so much
ahead of the time.
Has it ever occurred to you why
clocks are usually put ahead? Some
physicians have said it is due to lazi-
ness. for it is such a satisfaction to the
lazy man to find when he has to get
up at in the morning and strains his
half closed eyes to look at the clock
that it is half an hour fast and he has
so much more time to doze. with the
result that he oversleeps himself any
how and misses his train or boat.
Said matchmaker when asked
about the subject:
Yes, it is peculiar thing with most
people to put their clocks fast, and.
while there may be some satisfaction
In 1t when it comes to doing a little
longer. there is really no advantage in
it, for when you wake up say, at and
glance at the clock and it registers half
past 6, the fact remains that 1t is a
half hour fast. While this may make
you feel easier, knowing that you still
have thirty minutes to doze, l confess
| don't see much advantage in it.
why not have the clock right? 1t is
the same thing in the end.
Suppose railroads were to put this
into practice, how many trains do YOU
think people would miss thereby? This
putting clocks fast is really only
pleasant form of deception which peo-
pie like to practice on themselves, but
it does more harm than good."-New

A ROYAL FEATHER CLOAK
KaIakAua Couldn't Wear II, and His

kalAkRua Couldn't Wear IL, and His
GrOOm Disgraced 1t.
When King Kalakaua OF Hawaii Wis
tied Japan many years ago he was
very anxious to exhibit to the Japanese
his famous royal feather cloak. K
did not look well draped over the regu-
lar costume of the king, which was
based on European military models.
1t was out of the question to wear it
draped over brown cuticle, as was the
ancient fashion. Finally it was de-
cided to ler Robert, one Of his attend
ants, wear it. William n. Armstrong
the kings attorney general, said: This
additional service delighted Robert.
who now, according to a confidential
statement made to his japanese at
tendant, was Keeper of the royal stand

sitting in state in the luggage car,
dressed in silk hat, white gloves and
with the gorgeous royal cloak hanging
over his shoulders, the tableau being
completed by group of Japanese at
tendants who were standing before
him lost in admiration" But Robert
was scarcely equal to the dignity that
was his. In his capacity of valet he
preceded the party to the palace as
signed to them, and discovered there
abundance of wines and spirits, which
he consumed until they arrived. He
was found asleep in the kings bed
chamber with the silk hat far down
over his head and the gorgeous cloak
askew on his shoulders. He was at
once depOsed from his Office of groom
of the feather cloak"

Excellent profits were made last
year out of what was seemingly a
worthless swamp by a farmer of Tioga
county, Pa. According to American
Agriculturist, this pocket of bog land
sold few years ago at about Sc per
acre. Under its present management
and system of cultivation it is the
most profitable tract of land in that
vicinity The soil is composed almost
entirely Of decayed vegetable matter

careful drainage and the use of large
quantities of fertilizer one of the finest
crops of celery ever produced in the
Keystone State was harvested last sea-
son. From an area of about thirty-one
acres the crop netted $11,5O4 after de-
ducting freight and commissions. The
superior quality of the celery and the
neatness and uniformity with which it
was graded and packed brought the
highest market price.
Constant tillage is one of the golden
rules adopted on this farm. The soil is
kept thoroughly stirred with a hoe and
cultivatOr and nothing is left undOne
to keep the plants in the most healthy
and vigorous condition. The celery is
all blanched with earth thrown I'D

and at intervals as the crop natures.

HOSTING ROPES.
The Threads of Wire Upon which
So Many Lives Daily Depend,

So Many Lives Daily Depend.
While the longest ropes are used for
hauling purposes, some of the most in
teresting data in connection with wire
ropes are obtained with their use for
hoisting purposes. Hundreds of thou
sands of lives are literally each day
hung by a small wire thread as the
men are lowered into and hOisted from
the bowels of the earth, and in many
cases the only means of communication
between the surface and the under
ground workings. which are from a
few feet to a mile in depth, is by
comparatively small hosting rope.
Think of hanging from the end of a ca
bic only a few inches in diameter and
a mile long. being hOisted at a rate
which is faster than that of the aver
age railroad train. and some idea of the
hOlsting problem can be gained. To
the honor of the wire rope manufactur-
ers it must be said that very few shaft
accidents are due to the breaking of
the rope. excepting where the cage fs

take any unnecessary risks in the
hosting of men. The skill of the wire
rope maker is taxed to the utmost TO
provide ropes for hosting from great
depths. To make a rope of practicable
size that will be sufficiently flexible
and that will bear even it's own weight
is no mean problem, for in such cases
the weight of the rope is often much
more than the material lifted; hence
we have taper rope intended to give

only time when the cheering reached the

four of her five runs Three of four,
