To Clean an Old Clock.

Have any of the readers of the Ma.
tional clock they value that seems
to be near the end of it's career of
usefulness? Does it skip a beat now
and then, and when it begins to strike
seem to be In pain? Let me tell you
what to do. Take a bit of cotton bat
ting the size of a hens egg, dip it in
kerosene and place it on the floor of
the clock, in the corner, shut the door
of the clock and wait three or four
days.
Your clock will be like a new one
skip no more, it will strike as of old,
and as you look inside you will find
the cotton batting black with dust.
The fumes Of the oil loosen the par
ticles of dust, and they fall, thus clean
ing the clock. l have tried it with sue.

No Study for Children Under Six.

That home is the best school for
children under 6 is the conclusion ar
rived at by an English committee Of
trained educators that has been inves-
tigating the results Of schooling on
babies Of this tender age. The COM
mittee reports unanimously against
sending those tots to school. They
find that not only do many derive no
intellectual benefit from it, but on the
other hand, they seem to fall into a
state of apathy with regard to books
and their powers of observation. More
play, more sleep, more story telling,
more free conversation-these are rec
commended by the English report as a
substitute for schooling until the child
is 6.

Standard Oil shares of a market value
of approximately $500, 900 changed hands
yesterday in a market in which another
high record was made for volume of bust
ness in the stock. Sales for the day
reached the extraordinary total OF 547

of the proceedings to dissolve the company
had increased the alarm of mail holders.
Two lots OF forty-fve shares were the
largest indiv idusl transactions Of the day.
There we're many sales Of one, five and ten
share lots and most of the transactions
were in lots Of less than twenty. The
opening sale was at $50, unchanged from
the previous closing. From this point
the price steadily declined 20 525.
In transactions a~ggregating forty shares
in the last few minutes Of trading there
was a rally to go, the price of the last sale.
The net loss for the day was ten points.
and for the week fifty points. These
figures represent a paper deterioration in
value of SO, 900 600 for the day and $50, OOO, 900
for the week on h entire capital stock

This proposed reform is the most
