SETTING THE CLOCK AHEAD
A senseless Practice That Is Met With in Great Many
 Homes.

1t IS a common thing to find the clocks in nine out of ten house holds either 15 minutes 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 reassured by the fact that you have no cause to hurry, as the clock is so much ahead of the time, says the New York News.
 Has II ever occurred to you why clocks are usually put ahead. Some physicians have said that it IS due to laziness, for it is such d satisfaction to the lazy man to find when he has to get up at seven in the morning and strains his half-closed eyes to look at the clock, that it is a little fast.
 Said watchmaker when asked about the subject:
 Yes, it is a peculiar thing with most people to put their clocks fast, and while there may be some satisfaction in it when it comes to dozing little longer, there is real ly no advantage in it, for when you wake up, say, at six and glance at the clock and it registers six the fact remains that it is a half hour fast. While this may make you feel easier, knowing that yon still have 30 minutes to doze. I confess l don't see much advan- tage in it.
 "Why not have the clock right? It 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 people like to practice on themselves. but it does more harm than good"

FRESH WATER FROM OCEAN
All Seaboard Cities May Be Abund- antly Supplied by Springs
 in the Seas.

Suggestion of great possibil- sies of fresh water supply is given ;n q paper by Prof. C. H. Hitch cock, of Dartmouth college, in the San Francisco Chronicle. It is study of fresh water springs i'll the ocean and within few miles of she shore. Enough is known of the existence of such springs to war sant the belief that there must be vast quantities of fresh water dis charged in this way through un discovered springs, and perhaps close to big cities and to fertile soil where the water is needed for drinking or for irrigation. Some 0f these springs show artesian conditions and will rise g to 42 feet by the pressure of the supply. There is a porous water-bearing stratum beneath an imperyiOus cover. Piercing this by boring gives access 10 water supply shat will rise quite a height with out pumping.
 One of the most notable exam Eles of this condition is at the is land of Oahu. The plantations on this island have made valuable use of the water for irrigation pur poses. On one plantation 5000 sacres are so irrigated. Though the pumps work continuously the wa ter never fails. Close to the coast line no pumps are needed, as the water rises 22 feet. At Honolulu such water will rise 42 feet At Oahu they reach this water bear jug stratum by boring 300 to 400 feet. Some of these springs we'll up so powerfully as to prevent the ocean water from commingling with the fresh il cases where the artesian water finds it's own out let through d creYice in the imper- Ti0us strata Powerful streams are said to discharge millions of gallons of water through artificial openings very near the seashOre. These a.e believed to continue some distance out to sea and then 1o we'll up mingled with the ocean pillows.
 Prof. Joseph Le COnte in his @1Geology" mentions the existence of fresh water springs rising in she ocean near Hawaii. Around the Florida coast there is much of this water, and at many places it Ss bored for and utilized. The wonderful Silver spring. which bursts a full grown nayigable riy- %r immediately from it's source, is given as an example of the under ground conditions that produce fhe underoeean spring. IL is the rainfall of a region far away. per aaps, and the water filtered through miles of sand. Elise Re clus, the great geographer. speaks of such springs existing east of the Isle of Pines. All this sug- gests the possibility that in the fu- lure many big seaboard cities may discover that they can obtain an abundant supply of pure drinking water almost at their doors by searching under the ocean for what is now going to waste and mixing with the brine. II certain ly stands to reason that is so many outbursts of fresh water in the sea are already known there must be others yet to be discovered.

The Old Time Buccaneer.


Mr.. Masefield's book, "On the Span
ish MAN," presents the old time buc-
cancer in q less abhorrent light than
that in which most people have regard
ed him. He even had religious beliefs.
No buccaneer was allowed to hunt or
to cure meat upon Sunday. No crew
put to sea on cruise without first
going to church to ask blessing on
their enterprise. No crew got drink
on the return to port after successful
trip until thanks had been declared for
the dew of heaven they had gathered.
After cruise the men were expected
to fling all their loot into pile, from
which the chiefs made their selection
and division. Each buccaneer was ex.
pected to hold up his right hand and to
swear that he had not concealed any
portion of the spoil. If after making
oath man were found to have secret
ed anything he was bundled overheard
or marooned when the ship next made
the land. Each buccaneer had mate
or comrade, with whom he shared all
things and to whom his property de-
volved in the event of death. In many
cases the partnership lasted during life
A love for his partner was usually the
only tender sentiment buccaneer al.
lowed himself.

q certain number Of sponges and given
proof of her skill by taking them from

Islands this custom is reversed. The

slows her on the best diver among her
sultors. He who can stay longest in
the water and bring up the biggest
cargo of sponges marries the maid.

Birds, Spring wedding Clothes.

There are number of birds that put
on fresh, bright beautiful clothes for
their spring weddings. These birds,
when they mate, change their sober
dress Of gray or brown for plumes of
gold and scarlet Thus the warrior
bird of Germany puts on for the mat
ing season ruff of many bright hues,
while the female dons cape of white.
The grebe's wedding dress is two tufts
Of brilliant blue feathers. They stand
like horns upon his head. They en-.
nance his beauty greatly. The gnat
catcher is dull brown bird, but in the
spring his plumes turn a beautiful
green. The fire weaver's wedding
dress is the. most splendid of all. This
bird, sober fellow in the winter,
wears when he takes wife a dress of
bright red.-Philadelphia Bulletin.

Clever Mother Wood Duck,

How does the mother wood duck get

question, and many are the guesses
at the riddle. MI: William Brewster
watched an American golden eye that
had nest in the hollow tree overhang-
Ing the water until he heard her, after
she had made an inspection of the sur
roundings, utter "quack' that brought
her brood pellmell out of the tree and
tumbling down into the water. A mag.
azine writer says he has seen the
young ducks climb out of the hollow
down the tree and walk to the water.
