An Echo Alarm Clock.

President Murphy, of the Chicago
National League Club, told at base
ball dinner a remarkable echo story.
There was man." he began,
who had country house in the
Catskills. He was showing a visitor
over his grounds one day, apd, com.
ing to a hilly place, he said:
There's a remarkable echo here.
If you stand under that rock and
shout, the echo answers four distinct
times, with an interval of several
minutes between each answer
But the visitor was not at all i'm
pressed. He said, with a loud laugh:
"'You ought to hear the echo al
my place at Sunapee. Before getting
into bed at night l stick my head out
of the window and shout, Thine to
get up, William!" and the echo
wakes me at o'clock sharp the next
morning."

A vacuum preserving jar is a re-

vacuum can be created by bringing
the contens to boiling temperature,
which will cause the outside atmos-
pheric pressure to tightly close the
rubber valve in the cap; or the air
at the top of the vessel can be eX-
hausted by means of simple pump.
In the latter event the invention can
be used for preserving materials
without cooking. This invention is
adapted to the use of any other ma
terial than glass for jars, and the
that indicated in the drawing. Both
the jar and the cover are made en-
tirely of glass, making it non-poison-
Gus, with the advantage that it can
be used again and again.

What Noon Means in Law.

When is it legally noon? Fire in
surance policies expire at noon, and
the word is admitted to mean exactly
at IL o'clock midday. But standard
time has not been adopted in all COM
munities. Many small towns cling
to the sun time. which may be from q
few minutes to nearly an hour earlier
than standard In one State a fire
occurred at two minutes past noon,
sun time, and the insurance company
held that the policy had expired be-
fore the fire. Sun time is used in
that town, but the insured sued the
company, holding that local customs
did not run the policy, and that he
was entitled to his insurance. The
State courts sustained him. n an
other State similar contention was
taken to the courts and just the OPP
posite decision given. Several con-
flicting precedents have been estab-
lished in State courts. and it is said
the question can only be decided for
good and all when a case has been
carried into the United States courts
and passed upon by the Supreme
Court.--New York Press.

Done Too Well.

"A thing that is worth doing at all, >
we are often told, lis worth doing
we'll" That thing can be done too
well, however, is evidenced from the
following story:
A certain gentleman, we'll known
throughout the Black Country, was,
until recently, the owner of valu-
able dog. The collar worn by the
animal was of sterling silver, really
a work CT art, and. testified to the
value of the wearer in the eyes of his
master.
Unfortunately the animal recently
developed an unreasonable taste for
the calves of his masters visitors,
with the usual result.
The gentleman took his pet out the
other morning, and, after shooting
him, said to the gardener:
Bury him at once"
This the faithful henchman did, and
to make a good job of it, he burie0
the dog, chain and collar as welll.
His employer, on being informed OF
vhe fact, resorted to sarcasm.

A travelling man thus describes
family graveyard that he came upon
while jolrneying through a sparsely
settled region of West Virginia:
There were three graves side by
side. The middle one was marked by
a marble slab, divided into three sec
lions and inscribed in the following
fashion:
In the top division was chiselled:
THEODORE JOHNSON, A JUST
MAN.
The second division bore a hand
pointing to the grave on the left, and
was inscribed.
FIRST WIFE.
The third division bore a hand
pointing to the right, and was IN
scribed:
