French election, whatever may be writ
ten to the contrary by the litterateur,
who is accustomed to taking striking
exceptions as type, says Nj. Charles

than 20 electoral districts in which the
election is carried by money. | could
point them out one by one. They are
in the environs of Paris, in the country
places of the Pyrenees and of the Alps
and in the Center. 1t is true that the
conservative candidates often believe
themselves obliged to incur large eX-
pense. but the electors, even when they
profit by them, continue to vote accord
ing to their opinions. Money holds very
little place in the electoral life of
France.

Ways of Telling Time.

From our Philippine possessions has
come an account of primitive device
for recording time which deserves a
place among the lost list of contriv-
ances for that purpose, says the
Youths Companion. 1t is used by the
natives during certain sports. They
bore hole in the bottom of a cocoanut
shell and let it fill with water. At a
certain point it suddenly drops to the
bottom of the basin. This calls time"
Many We're the plans for recording
the fight of the hours before the com
ing Of the clock. The most famous was
the hour glass, which was made of
various sizes and capable of recording
with tolerable accuracy almost any
given interval of time, although seldom
one greater than an hour.
This system Of keeping time was so
long In use as to give rise to the SOL
emn warning, "As the sands in the
glass so our life doth pass" Certainly
this is more picturesque than it would
be to say Like the ticking of a Water
bury watch"
The burning of candles was another
favorite device. Lines were drawn at
different elevations for the fractional
divisions Of the period which the candle
recorded. There was also very inge-

FOSTER WINS ONE.
Postmaster at Seattle Confirmed
Over Ankeny'S Objection.

Washington, Feb. 1D.-The nomina
ton of George M. Stewart as postmas-
ter at Seattle was confirmed by the
senate just before the hour of adjourn
ment yesterday afternoon. The action
of the senate was a tremendous surprise
to Senator Ankeny, and he is deeply
chagrined ovre the result, while Sena-
tor Foster is correspondingly jubilant.
Mr.. Foster declared yesterday that
Mr.. Ankeny should mot be allowed to
run the delegation" while he Foster
was member of it, and swore that he
would bring about the confirmation of
Mr.. Stewart as postmaster. Mr.. An
keny was equally confident that he
could prevent favorable action on the
name, and he asked several senators to
withhold action because Mr.. Piles, who
had just been elected to succeed Mr..
Foster, was opposed to Stewart, and
that inasmuch rs Seattle is the home
town of Mr.. Piles he should have the
naming of the postmaster. Mr.. Ankle
ny was taken by surprise and did moth

BILE action. 10y. the senate.

Portland, Or, Feb. 11.-Former
United States Attorney John H. Hall
has been indicted by the federal grand
jury in connection with the land fraud
cases under course of investigation.
Two indictments were returned, by
one of which the long drawn out in
vestigation into the dealings of the
Butte Greek Land, Lumber and Live
stock Company was brought to close,
while the second added another mark
to the list now against Henry Medium

The Indictment against the Butte
Creek company and some of its en-

and obstruct the free passage over and

in Wheeler county. The document also

COMERFORD EXPELLED.
Illinois Legislator Thrown Out
Because of Bribery
Charges.

Springfield, Ills. Fbe. 9.-Frank d.
Comerford, representative from the
Second senatorial district of Cook
county to the general assembly, was
yesterday expelled from that body. as
a member, and his name stricken
from the rolls of the house.
His expulsion was the climax of a
series of sensational charges of corrup-
ton and attempted bribery made by
Mr.. Comerford against mem bers of the
Illinois legislature in lecture before
law college in Chicago, which were
Investigated by special committee of
the house appointed for that purpose,
which found, after protracted sittings
and listening to great mass of testi-
mony, that the charges brought by
Mr.. Comerford were unfounded. The
committee reported this finding to the
house without recommendation as to
punishment. but the reading of the re-
port was followed by resolution fol
the expulsion Of Mr.. Comerford
The resolution cited Mr.. Comerford
to appear tefore the bar of the house
and show cause why he should not be
expelled.
Mr.. Comerford declined to take up
the time of the house by further de-
lay, waving his right to prepare his
defense, and stated that he was ready
right then to defend himself. He was
taken at his word, and in speech of
more than an hours duration he re-
viewed the testimony taken before the
investigating committee and scored the
committee for so limiting the scope of
the investigation that, "God Almighty
Himself, if he came here, would have
been prevented from getting evidence
against self-confessed thief
'This committee stands convicted
before the country of resorting to sub
terfuges to prevent any real investiga-
ton" he said.
Members of the investigating COM
mittee, one after the other, arose and
holly resented Mr.. Comerford's reflec-
lions on the action of the committee.
One after another mem ers attacked
Mr.. Comerford for his attacks on
them.
On the roll call the resolution of ex.
pulsion was adopted, l2l to 10. Eight
mem bers declined to vote.

KILLED LABOR BILLS.
House Committee Votes Inde finite
pOStpOnement for -Four.

Olympia, Feb. S.-After heated
session in the house committee on la.
boz and labor statistics four bills faith
cred by the union labor interests of the
state were indefinitely postponed, the
minority members of the committee re-
solving to submit minority reports IA
voring the passage of the measures.
The bills turned down were num-
bers ISL, 1876, 80 and 80. No. 9S was
considered chief among the labor mea-
sures. 1t was introduced by Huxtable,
of Spokane, and was only paragraph
long, but defined who shall be con-
strued to be fellow servants, and
against it the employing interests made
an organized fight. For days past
printed forms, carrying protests
against the measure, signed by en-
ployers of labor all over the state have
poured in upon the house members of
the committee.

More Rich Strikes at Nome

Seattle, Feb. 8.-The many claims
at Nome between the Standard Oil
company's warehouse and Dry creek
are said to be veritable bonanza, &C
cording to advices received from the
far North by way of Dawson. The
Nome Nugget of November 10 says
that many rich strikes have been made
near Nome since the last boats left.
Just before Navigation closed in Ber-
ing sea news came of big strike on
Little creek, near Nome. Since then
many similar strikes have been made
and great deal of winter mining is
now in progress.

Mes meriZing Rooster.

knew little boy who used to per
form this trick very successfully. lie
had bright young rooster, of which he
brought into the house.
He would hold the rooster on his lap
and with Il piece of chalk draw lines
fSom the tip of its bill to the back OF
its neck, pressing very lightly with the
chalk.
At first the rooster would appear
sleepy and then would nod its head
very drowsily, and finally to all appear
ances go fast asleep
If put upon the floor the rooster
would remain standing, but with its
eyes fast closed. Then the little boy
would bring a light near to the ROSTERS
eyes, and it would stretch its neck and
crow a great many times, as If the sun
were just coming up although its eyes
were closed all the time.
Then this young mesmerist would
lightly tap the ROSTERS bill and spurs
with a lead pencil. The rooster would
Immediately rutile his neck feathers
flap his wings, thrust his spurs and SO
through all the motions Of a furious
fight.
He would keep this up until stopped
by being lifted from the floor and then
set down again.
When the little boy would give the
usual call which summoned the chick
ems to their meals the rooster would
try his best to pick holes in the floor
thinking he was making fine meal of
corn. If a few pieces of grass were
brushed against his face and some
buttons dropped upon his toes he would
scratch away at a great rate, as If do
ing his best to destroy garden
Doesn't it seem surprising that roos-
ter should have such an imagination?
The rooster was awakened by strok-
ing the feathers on the top of his head
back and then giving him slight
jolt and setting him upon his feet.
1t is curious that the more he was
mesmeriZed the easier it became and
the more things he would do. And it
did not hurt him in the least. He grew
SO large and handsome that he was
finally sold for a fancy price.

NOUS water clock. which is even now
occasionally seen in museums. The
sun-dial, for marking true astronomical
time, was much in use in early days. 1t
told nothing in cloudy weather and In
our latitude would not be strictly ac-
curate except on a few days in the
year. Its accuracy at other times
would be a varying quantity.
There is no Surer test of an industrial
civilization than the general desire to
know the time of day. The late Henry
Drummond told of carrying watch to
a great chief in the interior of Africa
as present, thinking 1t would be
greatly priced. TO the chief it was
simply mechanical toy. He cared
nothing for knowing the time of day.
