in demand. This is because peo-
pie are starting on their travels. Many
travelling clocks are also sold for we'd
ding gifts.
The travelling clocks is by no means a
fad or a fancy. but decidedly an article
of practical use. The finest travelling
clocks have eight day movements, though
there are many twenty-four hour travel
ing clocks,
The travelling clock is by no means
and are simply timekeepers. Among the
striking travelling clocks there are some
that strike simply the hours and the half
hour, and then there are some that, on
pressing a repeating button in the case,
will repeat the hour last struck and
there are still other repeating travelling
clocks that do wonderful things.
Here. for example, is one that strikes
the hours and the quarter hours, striking
the quarters with double hammer. AT
tlhe first quarter this clock makes one
double stroke, at the second quarter two
and at the third quarter three double
strokes; with the double hammer there
is no confusion of quarter with hour
strokes.
This clock repeats IN d hldiihei siie'

beating button 1t strikes the hour last
struck and then If the first quarter has
not yet been reached 1t strikes the min

one or more quarters have passed 1t
double strokes the quarters, and then
the minutes that have elapsed since the
last quarter.
At any minute of the night one may
reach out to this clock standing on table
at the bedside and press the repeating
button and hear then the little CLOCK

SEASON OF TRAVELLING
CLOCKS NOW IN SWING

striking unsteady, because all striking
travelling clocks have pleasant musical
strikes.
Most travelling clocks are equipped with
an alarm attachment.
Travelling clocks-each being provided
with a leather case in which to carry it
are all small, some of them not more than
three inches in height, though the greater
number are from four to six inches high.
They are found In hundreds of styles. and
as with so many other things, new styles
are constantly being added. In price they
range, for clocks of the finer sorts, from
about $40 up to about $3.50, the cost of all
the more expensive clocks being in the
perfection of their movements and in the
quality, style and artistic perfection of
their cases, which might be of the most
elaborate workmanship, but which COM
monty would be without adornment other
than such as could be wrought in or on
the material.
There might be found fine travelling
clocks with a circle of rhinestones around
the dial; and other such clocks per.
haps with column of rhnestones at each
of the front angles of the clocks case,
and very pretty indeed would these clocks
be found to be- The travelling clock is con-
sidered primarily as a thing of utility
only and the clocks in the simpler cases
are more generally in demand. Here, how
ever simplicity does not by any means
signify lack of grace.
Among the finer travelling clocks. there
are some with cases of silver and some
with cases of glass and bronze, some In
bronze cases with silver panels wrought
in relief, some with decorated porcelain
panels, some with panels of enamel in one
or another color, and there are many, in
many styles, in cases of bronze giided,
and among all the various clocks there
are many that would be considered as OF
simple design that are really objects OF
great beauty.

A Peculiar Cattle Disease.

Charles Blrtcil, a prominent farmer
and oil producer of Pithole, was in Oil
City Saturday to consult with local veter'
inarians regarding peculiar fatality
that has attacked his cattle, and which
caused death in an hour after the first
symptoms were noted. Mr.. Birtcil lost
six head of valuable cows in that many
days, two deaths occurring in one day.
The disease attacked the throat, the in
side of which turned black, the throat
became greatly inhamed and swollen,
and the cows drooled and frothed at the
mouth.
A Titusvilie veterinarian, who was
first consulted, stated that unless the dis
ease was hydrophobia he could not tell
what it was. The repugnance to water,
frothing at the mouth, and other symp-
toms of the rabies were present in the
Eases of the cattle affected. but there was
an absence of the mad rage and desire to
attack that are so characteristic of clearly
defined cases of hydrophobia. DR.. Job.
son, of Franklin, state veterinarian, has
been notified and will make careful
personal examination of the dead bodies
and attempt 10 diagnose the disease.

WINDS AND DRAFTS.
The Former Are Beneficial, but the
Latter Are Dangerous.

The Former Are Beneficial, but the
Latter Are Dangerous.
BY Il draft is meant the currents of
air in an inclosed space. Our fore
fathers attributed nearly all the evils
that beset them to drafts, and they
would not have slept in mcurtained
beds for anything. OF course their
windows and doors were shaky, and
houses stood far apart, so drafts were
nearly inevitable. But the modern sci
entilic world tries TO deny drafts alto
gether and calls them winds, which are
harmless and even healthy to Il certain
degree.
Any one who cares TO find out the
diIerence between wind and draft
can do so in any apartment which has
windows on different sides of the
house. Let him open window on
windy day ON the side of the house
toward which the wind blows. The air
which comes in is quite harmless If
the person exposed to it be dressed in
warm clothes, and little children may
take the air in Il room thus ventilated.
But let him open a window past which
the wind blows. and it will be found
that the air in the room is moved by
number OF currents, all of which strive
to reach the opening. 1t is the passing
wind which sucks up the air in the
room and draws it out, and this causes
the room TO have what is called
draft.
The effect upon sensitive persons is
Immediately felt, like the forerunner
of pain to come. y draft will always
be felt as colder than the wind. Very
dangerous drafts are those that are
produced in railway cars by the rapid
motion of the train. 1t is not wind
that gets into the carriages, but the
air of the car which is sucked out. A
lighted match held to the chlnk of the
window will prove this, us the flame
will be drawn toward the window, not
blown from 1t.
