The Wife"s Confession.

A Wife, in Harpers Bazaar.
 I had taken a great deal of credit to myself for loving my husband. I felt that he owed me debt of gratitude. on- ly to be repaid in a life of devotion was occupied night and day thinking about him, therefore he ought not 10 spend less time in thinking about me; for, like most young wives, love seemed to me an extortionate business, that ought to be paid for in kind.
 And the curious part of 1t Is that the mere fact that I loved my husband seemed to me to excuse entirely my dis agreeable conduct towards him. l ex- pected that he should be grateful for the disagreeable consequences of my af- lection for him. My disagreeable acts were not only to be pardoned, but ac- tually to be thought fattering, since the root of them lay in such great affection. And conversely, when through wo- mans giving up her husband, loving him less and being less constantly occu- pied with the thoughts of him. things become more comfortable at home, man is expected to feel badly.

OFFICIAL TIME.
Woman Who Gives London People the
Correct Time.

It is a curious circumstance that
London, which is so near to Green
wich, does not get it's official time
from that famous observatory, but
from a woman.
Practically every big watch and
clock maker in this city pays her a
fee once week to learn the right
time. And, oddly enough, this regu-
lating of the watches of London has
been a business of this woman's fam
lily for more than 10 years.
1t seems that the father of the
present human timepiece" was Mr..
Bellville, who in 1888 was assistant to
the astronomer royal. He hit upon
the bright idea of taking around to
the principal watch makers a cor
rccted chronometer.
In this way he soon built up an in
come of about $500 year. When he
died in 1856. his widow was granted
the privilege of having her chronome-
ter corrected at Greenwich II whenever
she liked, ard "peddled"Athe time until
1882. when she reached the advanced

solute1y correct time did not leave the
Bellville family with the retirement Of
the old woman, however, for her
daughter succeeded to the lucrative
job. Every Monday morning she
goes from her home in Maidenhead, on
the Thames. to the Royal Observatory
at Greenwich. where she receives from
the keeper an official document
saying that her chronometer diff
fcrs from mean time by SO and so
many seconds and tenths of second.
Such a favor is granted to no other
person and. armed with this exclusive
credential, Miss Bellville sallies forth
u correct the timepieces Of the
world.
She has about 40 customers in Lon
don, scattered all over the city. To
each she repairs in turn and permits
them to correct their time in accord
ance with that of her own chronome-
ter and the official document. From
these 40 customers of this woman the
rest Of London gets its ideas Of time.
1t is no ordinary chrOnometer that
Miss Bellville carries about with her.
1t was made in 1885 by Arnold. one of
the most famous watch makers that
ever lived, for the Duke of Sussex, q
son of George III After possessing it
short time the noble owner discard
ed it because it was too clumsy, and
Mr. Bellville bought it at a fancy
price.
