Folks are Riding |.

There IS an unusual demand for livery rigs in Canaan at the present time. Folks who have company delight m showing their guests the sights, and the summer people who are here or here abouts also want to get out and see what sort of a country they are in. In nine cases out of ten, however, the liveryman has to give the positive assurance that the horse ''isn't afraid of thing on earth" in order to allay the fears of the ladies.

gesnt; 1 doubt you have none too much
of that YOURSELF"
One of the well-knOwn theatrical
press agents got nicely caught at his
own game recently. He was "ahead"
OF a play, one act of which had for a
climax the bribing Of an American
army officer by a Russian spy. The
press agent thought he saw a chance
to make a stir with this and wrote to
the Russian ambassador asking il
there were any truth in the report that
Russia was TO lodge an objection to the
play at the state department. Baron
Rosen took the bait nicely and wrote a
kindly letter back 10 the press agent
saying that he would not notice the ill
cident and that it was all right. Then
the agent, full OF slee, started for the
newspaper offices. But the Washing

THE OLD.TIME HOROScoPUS,
Who Struck the Time on the Bells OF
Public Clocks.

In primitive times man was stationed
at The top Of the belfry to ring the bells
ut the indicated hours. day and night.
This watchman was called the horoscc-
pus, that IS to say. the observer of the
hour. He Rad recourse himself in order
to fulfil his duty. to the study Of the as
trail system, TO the number Of prayers he
was to recite, to the quantity of wax
cardle had consumed. to the clepSydr1.
or water clock. and to the hourglass. The
trade of the horoscopus was inevitably
one of the first which the progress Of
mechanism was TO cause to disappear
The first clocks with bells known in
France date back to the 18th century.
Particular mention is made OF one which
was established at Caen in 1914 by Beau
mont, and that the palas de Justice in
Paris. which King Charles V. had con-
Strurted in 1870 by the German clOckmak
er Henri de Vic. This machine seemed so
marvellous that til" inhabitants Of Paris.
so goes the legend. asked permission of
the king to go on guard at the door of
the tower to assure themselves that it
was the clock aud not the watChman that
rang the hours.
This astonishment Of the people at a
period when mechanism was but just
bonn may wCll he conceived in the pres
ence of Il machine capable Of calculat-
ing and striking the hours. without the
assistance of any human being with the
same precision that could be exercised by
the most vigilant horoscopus.
The custom was perpctuatcd until the
l.tf century. and still exists in certain
cities of Europe. OF placing alongside Of
the clocks various autOmatons which ring
the hours. 1t is due to nothing else than
the throuGht of recalling to memory the
recollection of the ancient watchman.
And also the clocks with antomatons
catered to the popular taste of that epoch
The people of that period prcOccupicd
themselves hut little with the more or
IS exact measurement of time. Rail
ads were not i'm existence and the eXI-
CO fl,.,,-
are row. a cock which crowed and
f1arped his wings. some apostles who
marched by. striking 4 blow for each
hour. filled them with admiration. and in
this respect no other clocks aroused 50
much enthusiasm as those Of Lyons and
Strasbure. 1t was clock of this charac-
ter that Henri DeuN placed over the SUI
perh portal of the Chateau of Anct.
