Alarm clock Eor Lac Lior,.s.


A provision merchant in Oldham,
England, has invented an ingenious
eontrivance by which he is able to feed
bis horses without personal attendance
through the medium OF an American
alarm clock. In a small Office adjOin-
ing the stable the clock is placed on a
shelf. Attached to the winding key Is
a piece Of copper wire, and this Is fas-
tened to a small brass roller that runs
over a wooden rod At the end Of the
rod Is a heavy weight. When the CLOCK
goes on the wheel IL drawn over the
rod and releases the weight, which
falls to the floor. The corn box is hned
overnight, and when the weight Is re-
leased a small door at the bottom Of
the box lies open and the corn fals
Into the manger. The horses never lAh
to rise at the sound Of the alarm
knowing what Is to follow, and when
the drivers turn up the animals are
ready to be harnessed. Another aa-
vantage Is that the horses need never
Be put to work before the breaNaS'
has had time to digest.

HOUSTON ITEMS.

The people OF Houston have this week been in
terested in the question Of their public schools
condition, and the necessity for some action to-
wards either building a new school house. or
building an additional room for the school In
either case. they will have TO raise more money,
and that appears to be the rub with part Of the
people who compose this district. The Chronicle
last week set the wool on some OF the menfOlks
and we suspect that they are taking some inter-
est as one Of the results of the article in question.
So Ear as we are able TO learn John C. Wharton,
Zach. johnson, Frank Burris the Counseman
family, ahd others are In favor of building a
new school building at once but there are others
who oppose it out Of pure stubbornness and
mesnness from financial standpoint. Just how
the title to the present building-which is too
small to accommodate the children-stands, is a
question. One thing Is sure, viz: the school dis
tricts Of Houston hold no deed for the land. and
could be dispossessed by the landowner, If he
felt so disposed Then again the school house
is too far away from the central part of the town,
and for that reason it can not be looked after as
well. A special meeting has been called for the
purpose Of authorizing the issuance OF bonds to
build a modern school building, and at that
meeting the opposition will be compelled to
shV" US manu. anu culHe iito tue opeht where
the people will be able to know just who is an
enemy to the public schools OF Houston. It is
safe TO say, that the men who oppose giving the
children an opportunity to get an education in
comfortable surroundings, will be found to be
hose who got what education they have in the
public schools, and who have neither children
10 send to school, or permanent interest in the
own. There is one thing absolutely certain,
liz that Houston will have to remedy the pres
INT dificienoes of its schools or that the State
dividend will be withheld from them until It is |
lone. So It is take your choice-do right or do |
without schools. As we have been able to gather |
that is about the situation now

the addition of porch IS feet long on one side,
which be expects to have completed before

liable building to our town and resort and the

THE REAL HARMONY ISLANDS.

Within few days schooner is to sail from San Fran
cisco with nearly 500 men and women They going
out into the Pacific to find island and found and
ideal republic.
They propose to name the island Harmony island.
ats good name they have said. ave have
implements and seeds We have books and tools. There
will be no back biting dscord We will be big
happy family. We will be AN ideal people in an ideal
state
That is a fine thought-an ideal people in an ideal
staeno dscord but every life in harmony and sympathy
with every other life We should all like such existence
that.
But why they going to put their harmony island
away off somewhere in the Pacific?
Is there need for Harmony islands tere at home?
Probably they think it will be easier there but it won't
If it is easier it will be worth that much less to Them
worth that much less to every and every woman.
And the satisfaction they looking for won't be
there
They trying to reach ideal by short cut.
There are no short cuts to the ideal.
You may lock in high tower, away from the
temptations Of myriadsded life, and you feel
that he will be innocent of many sins You be salts
fled that he will betray friend rob bank
drink himself into the gutter. There great many
other things you know he will do long he is
kept from the influences that ght urge him to do
them.
But he won't deserve any credit. His goodness will
do him any good-or the world either He has side
stepped his fights.
The only Harmony islands that are worth while are
the four little rooms that we call home.
