A Striking Indiyfduality.

1t does not pay to be too striking In
ones individuality unless that charac-
teristtc is the outspringing of ones
own nature. Directly little eccentrici-
ties are assumed criticism is invited.
We become conspicuous, and the I'M
conventional beauty which we wish to
achieve turns to gall and NORWOOD in
what the world calls only "queerness. :"
Unless you can be artistically out of
the ordinary do not try to be other than
commonplace. 1t does not pay to bring
down reproach and sarcasm upon your
unprotected head for the sake of win
ming notoriety. Better by far to pursue
the even tenor of your way, exactly as
thousands of other mortals do, than to
strike out into new paths which lead
only into the jungle Of ridicule and
condemnation.

HOW A WATCH WORKS.
A Vibrating Wheel Takes the Place
of the Clocks Pendulum.

A Vibrating Wheel Takes the Place
of the Clocks Pendulum.
A watch differs from a clock in its
having a vibrating wheel instead of a
vibrating pendulum and as in clock
gravity Is always pulling the pendulum
down to the bottom of its arc, which is
its natural place CO rest, but does not
fix 1t there because the momentum ac-
quired during its fall from one side
carries 1t up to an equal height on the
other, so In watch spring, generally
spiral, surrounding the axis of the bal
ance wheel, Is always pulling this to-
ward a middle position of rest, but does
not fix 1t there because the momentum
acquired during its approach to the
middle position from either side carries
1t just as far past on the other side,
and the spring has to begin it's work
again. The balance wheel at each vi
brat1on allows one tooth of the adjoin-
ing wheel to pass, as the pendulum
does in a clock, and the record of beats
is preserved by the wheel which fol-
lows. A handspring is used to keep up
the motion of the watch instead Of the
weight used in a clock, and as spring
acts equally well, whatever. be its posi-
ton, watch keeps time, although car
ried in the pocket or in moving ship.
In winding up watch one turn Of the
axle on which the key is fixed is render
ed equivalent by the train of wheels to
about 400 turns or beats Of the balance
wheel, and thus the eXertion during
few seconds of the hand which winds
up gives motion for twenty-four or
thirty hours.

The WREN BUSH.
Am Old Custom still Observed L
Ireland at Christmas.

An Old Custom still Observed In
Ireland at Christmas.
a among the many odd customs still
observed In Ireland at Christmas few
are more curious than the practice Of
carrying about "the wren bush" on St.
Stephens day, and antiquaries are puz-
zled to explain why the poor little
liking of all BIRDS should be put to
death on the festival Of the first mar
tyr.
The most probable explanation Is
that the wren was sacred to the Druids
and was used by them in divination
and other pagan rites at the festival of
the winter solstice, which almost coin
cided with Christmas, and consequent
ly the clergy urged their converts to
destroy the birds which were associat-
ed with such unholy rites, just as ST.
Patrick's relentless destruction of the
images of serpents, used in the ancient
pagan worship of Ireland, gave rise to
the legend that he ns .t
tiGeve the snakes and toads a twist
And banished them all forever!
This seems the more likely, because
'drean," the old Irish name for "wren, {"
also means "a Druid" and old folk still
call Jenny" the Druid bird" and say
that she has the gift of prophecy and
that those who can interpret her twit-
terings as she hovers about house or
flies from bush TO bush can read the
future. In the library of Trinity col
lege, Dublin, there Is curious docu-
ment describing how to interpret the
notes Of the wren.-Maud e. Sargent

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

Shortly before three O'Clock, Sunday
morning, theWerheim Mfg. Co. S watch
man discovered that the company's dry
shed on Fifth street, between Fulton
and Adams, was on fire. When this
discovery was made the flames had
gained such Roadway that there was
absolutely no hope of saving the struc-
ture and its contents and the firemen
directed their efforts in checking a
spread of the fire to near by buildings
In this they were successful, but had a
wind been blowing the result might
have been different. The night was
calm and the rain of the previous day
had wet things so that there was little
danger of sparks setting fire to roofs
Some of the sparks were unusually
large and floated through the air to a
great distance from the blaze.
How the fire started is mystery and
the only explanation that can be made
is that it originated from a lighted
cigar or cigarette. Small boys have
frequently gone into the shed nights to
smoke coffin nails" and it may be that
they are responsible for the destruc-
ton. The shed was large frame affair
and in itself was not of any great value.
1t was owned by Schmidt & Co., of
Chicago, and was leased by the Wer-
helm Co. as storage house for dry
lumber. At the time of its destruction
the shed contained thousands of feet of
hardwood and pine finishing lumber,
all perfectly dry, which made excellent
feed for the danes. Some piles of lum-
Der adjoining the building were either
destroyed or badly damaged, and two
cars of lumber standing on a side track
near by were damaged to considerable
extent.
1t is presumed that the fire had been
smouldering for several hours before it
finally broke out and enveloped The
building, for several people passed by
on Fifth street at late hour and saw
no signs of it, and Officer Oviatt made a
search of the premises half an hour be-
fore in looking for tramps and saw no
fire.
The loss to the Werheim Co. will
probably foot up to $4,000, partially
protected by insurance. AS soon as
the loss is adjusted by the insurance
companies, the yards will be cleaned up
and it is quite likely that a new shed
will be built.

THE FORCE OF FEAR.
Fright Was the Cause of the Death
of Frederick I. of Prussia.

of Frederick L. of Prussia.
There are several we'll authenticated
cases where fright was the cause of
drummer in India across whose legs
harmless lizard crawled while he was
half asleep. He was sure that cobra
had bitten him. and it was too much
for his nerves, and he died.
Frederick l. Of Prussia was killed by
fear. His wife was insane, and one
day she escaped from her keeper and,
dabbling her clothes with blood, rushed
upon her husband while he was doing
In his chair. King Frederick imagined
her to be the white lady whose ghost
was believed to invariably ap, ear
whenever the death of q member of
the royal family was to occur, and he
was thrown into fever and died In
six weeks.
But perhaps the most remarkable
death from fear was that Of the Dutch
painter Pentman, who lived in the sew
enteenth century. One day he went In
to a room full Of anatomical subjects
to sketch some skulls and bones for q
picture he. intended to paint. The
weather was very sultry, and while
sketching he fell asleep. He was
aroused by bones dancing around him
and the skeletons suspended from the
ceiling clashing together. In a fit Of
horror he threw himself out of the
window. Though he sustained no seri-
GUS injury and was informed that q
slight earthquake had caused the COM
motion among the ghostly surround
ings, he died of nervous tremor.

QUEER AlMANACS.
Australian Shepherds Have Odd
Ways of Marking Time

Australian Shepherds Have Odd
Ways of Marking Time.
The boundary riders of the great
Australian sheep ranches have each a
district to look after, in which one
must keep the wire fences in repair
and see that the sheep come to no
harm. 1t is hard and lonely life, iiv-
Ing, as each boundary rider does, quite
alone in the wilderness. A writer tells
Of some of the curious ways in which
these solitary men keep count of the
days.
One old man who had lived in the
back country for thirty years used two
jam tins and seven pebbles. One tin
was marked, This week." and the 9TH
er Last week" On Monday morning
he would take a pebble from Last
week" and drop 1t into "This week."
and each subsequent morning till This
week" had swallowed the seven. They
were returned to Last week." and the
old fellow knew that another Sunday
had passed.
Another man had tried and failed
with several plans. at last he hit on q
new idea. He made big damper (cake
of flour and water) on Sunday night
and marked it into seven sections,
each section being a days allowance,
so that every time he picked up the
damper the grocer would remind him
OF the day. Unfortunately one Tues
day there came q visitor with a raven
Gus appetite. The host stinted him
self that the hungry one might be sat
isfied with the days section. But he
wasn't With anxious eyes the host
saw the knife clearing the boundary
line and the hungry man ruthlessly
carving into his almanac. AT last he
could stand 1t no longer.
"Stop, stopw he cried as he grabbed
the damper and glared at it.
