NoiseleSs Clocks.

"In the days of our fathers no de-
scription Of Il homclike, coy room

the ticking clock. 1t was this gem
tie sound which emphasized the
quiet of the place People had no
nerves in those days. To-day the
thought of a machine ticking off
the seconds and striking the hours
is source Of worry Und distress.
Tine is going, but they do not wish
to be reminded Of it continually.
No clock is better than the ticking
machine. And now to meet the re-
quircments of the nervous people a
factory at Schramburg is making a
noiseless clock" In an article on
the same subject another paper
says, ''Thc antin0ise craze has made

silence the birds and to muf1le the

A LITTLE NONSENSE.
Story Of an Irish Coal Miner Who Fell
Down a Shaft.

That very prominent pessimist
James J. Hill, the Schopenhauer Of
American finance, after remarking
the need of ga strong, calm hand to
guide us" and making incidentally
the movement a card player makes
when he holds a straight flush, con-
soles Wall street with the assurance
that he does not see how stocks can
go much lower. His opinion was
the occasion the other day for va
riety of comment in speculative cir
cles.
James K. Keene said it reminded
him of the Irish coal miner who fell
down the shaft. Pat had a curious
experience. The shaft was a new
one about seyenty-tive feet deep,
and when the Irishman tumbled in
he did not 90 the whole distance i'm
mediately. He lodged about third
of the way down, and his fellow
workmen struggled to save him, Pat
directing the operations. Just as
they thought they had succeeded he
crashed down another twenty-five
feet, when an obstruction caught
him, and the rescue campaign was
begun anew and with greater diff
Guilty. When they were a second
time on the point of success, to the
dismay Of the rescuing party, Pat
went headlong into the lower deep.
Now all was silent-no sound from
the unfortunate Hibernian.
Leaning far over the edge of the
shaft, the foreman shouted through
a trumpet: 'Pat! | say, Patrick"
From the darkness and mystery
of the underworld came the solitary
word, "IIurroo"
care you much hurted, Pat"
81 am not, begorra"
"Wherc are We, Pat?"
"Phat's that ye're s0yin'?"
"Where are yc, Pat? Where the
divil are ye?'

In pcruSng the names of South At
rcan towns in the daily newspapers
many must have noted the word 'fOn-
tcin," which appears so often. This
word is the English fountain, and
towns with this termination have been
named after Dutch farms, which are
always built beside fountains of spring
water. Thus BIocmfontein means flow
cry fountains" Modderfontein, muddy
Fountain" Klcnfontein, small foun-
tain" and Ellandsfontein, deer foun-
tain" Another town termination which
English readers must have noticed Is
that of "laagte," which Is pronounced
"laughty." 1t means "shelter for ami.
mails" and hence when we talk of the

THE POET AND THE NATION.

There IS a touching phrase in the
poet laureate's last letter to the
London Times which ought to cause
some twinges of conscience in an
unappreciative public-"SOme of us
have from time to time sought to
rouse the si,mbering spirit of the
nation by verse" | must admit my
self that | have not the faintest rec
objection of any appeal that Alfred
has made to my slumbe.ing spirit,
and | can only conclude, with shame,
that my slumber was ST. deep that
| did not even hear his modest pipe
calling me to the war dance. This
confession applies, 80 far as ] am
concerned. to all the bards who, if
we are to believe the laureate, have
been playing the same tune. The
way he puts it suggests that the
slumbering public is to blame for
not having woke up and faced the
music. But it is just possible that
the fault may be with the music or
the musicians. One remembers many
patriotic poets, from Tyrtaeus to
Rougct de l.islc, who have had no
reason to complain that when they
piped the audience did not Dance
London Truth.

Game of Trades.

Each player must choose a trade
and go through the motions of
working at it. For instance, if he is
a tailor he must pretend to sew or
iron; if blacksmith to hammer a
bar of iron or shoe a horse. One is
the king, and he, too, chooses a
trade. Every one works away as hard
as he can until the king suddenly
gives up his trade and takes up that
of some one else. Then all must
stop except the one whose business
the king has taken, and he must
start with the kings work. The
two go on till the king chooses to go
back to his own trade, when all be-
gin working again. Any one who
fails to stop or to begin again at
the right time must pay a forfeit.

The Pepper Cure For Hiccoughs.

A new and immediate remedy for
hiccoughs was discovered at the
Hahncmann hospital recently by
DR.. Peters, by whom George Nc
Clcllan, aged thirty years, of 9O9
Quarry street, was cured of hic-
coughs which began two days be-
fore by pinch Of pepper.
Mcclellan had tried all kinds Of
remedies before coming to the hos
pital, but without avail. Two hos
pitals were visited, but the treat
ment he received was apparently as
little good as the drugs he had tax
Ell at home. lie became weaker and
weaker and could not eat or sleep.
1t was in this condition that he
appeared at the Hahnemann hos
pital.
'Herc is something that you nev-
er tried" said DR.. Peters. He gave
the man a pinch of pepper. The
man was hiccoughing violently at
the time, but managed to inhale the
stimulant. Tears came from his
eyes as he did, and he snccZcd vio-
lently. He sneczed again, and when
he was through sncezing the hic-
coughs were gone. - Philadelp phia

EIis Majestv's Knee,

A Norwegian journal tells the
following story about the crown
prince of Norway. Too much at
tcntion from those about him made
little Prince Olaf somewhat head
strong and, like most children, in
clined to be a little tyrannical to-
ward his playfeIlows. The other day
he became angry with another little
boy who had placed himself on a
certain chair. "You mustn't sit
therew he cried. otis my fathers
place." King Haakon happened to
be present and took the offending
boy on his own knee by way of con-
ISOLATION. Prince Olaf was angrier
than ever. "You mustn't sit there
either" he insisted. "It's my moth

A Sly Hit.

cinque ports. But recently he left
Rye for a time and took a house in
the country near the estate of a
millionaire jam manufacturer, re-
tired: This man, having married an
earl's daughter, was ashamed of the
trade whereby he had piled up his
fortune.
"The jam manufacturer one day
wrote Mr.. James an impudent let

the way the James servants were
trespassing on his grounds. MIR.
