A Professional Clock Winder.

In one of the big jewelry stores in
Maiden Lane, New York. there is a
man who rents desk room and makes
a business of winding clocks for the
wealthy New York families. He has
wound the clocks in one house in up
per Fifth avenue Tor Is years, and
now, though the family is abroad. he
goes regularly every eight days and
keeps the timepieces going. He has
several families who have as many as
a dozen clocks in the house, and every
one is attended to personally by him.
On his list there are several year
clocks, which are wound on the ami

Astronomers on the Watch.

The asteroid Eros, which is cele-
brated for the eccentricity of it's orbit,
and its occasional near approaches to
the earth, is again attracting the at
tention of astronomers. but this time
a long while in advance of the per.
formance that is expected of it. In
1900 Eros came within about 31.000,-
900 miles of the earth, but in 1881 It
will approach US within about 15,500.-
900 miles This will afford unique
opportunity to determine with great.

Life Not Worth ProIonoino.

1t is but little consolation to know
that the rainy weather has lowered
the death rate. The attitude of mind
of the average man is that If this
sort of thing goes on life will not be
worth living, and that any extension
of it can only be regarded as an ad.
ditional grievance against the climate.
1t is said that the wet weather is ex.
tremely destructive to germs, and a
good many people are disposed to
envy the germs.-London Evening

Refriaeration in Wine Makina.

From experiments made in France
in the employment of artificial refrig.
Grafton in wine making. the following
conclusions have been drawn: Grapes
may be kept at temperature of 29
degrees Fahrenheit for a year, but it
is not advisable to keep them longer
than a few months because of the in
evitable softening of the seeds. In the
clariication of liquors and their pre-
paration for expectation to cold eli
mates very good results are obtained
by cooling to 29 degrees for 72 hours.
