why Preachers live Long.

The British statistics of mortality
just published, show what we al
knew before that more clergymen
live TO old age than the members
OF any other profession. What Is
the reason? In part that they are
a little older in entering their pro.
fession than in almost any other bus.

SHIPS BELL CLOCKS.
Nickel Plated, Some, and Not Expen-
sive; Others OF Bronze, More Costly.

Nickel Plated, Some, and Not Expen-
sive; Others OF Bronze, More Costly.
In its most ordinary form the ships
bell clock Is stout, we'll made clock,
good timekeeper, contained In a
round nickel plated case six or seven
inches in diameter, which is mounted
on board that can be hung on or
screwed to a wall or bulkhead. The
face OF the clock, the dial, is of fin
ished steel, and it's pointers are of
blued steel, so that with it's nickeled
case the whole clock has a metallic,
solid, seryiceable look.
Attached to a projection of the
hoard upon which the clock is placed,
outside the clock and Immediately be-
low 1t, is the clocks gong, with the
hammers-there are two of them
brought down into it on arms extend
ing through an opening in the clocks
case and striking on the gong's inner
side. 1t is sturdy gong, two or three
inches in diameter, and it sounds with
strong, clear. resolute note when
the hammer strikes it. On this clocks
face you can tell the time In the usual
way, but the hours are struck as they
are at sea on a ships bell.
This is the sort of ships bell clock,
costing about So, that might be found
on merchant vessels, sail or steam, or
put up In steamer engine rooms or in
the pilot houses of towboats, and they
are used also on many yachts. And
not few are bought for use on the
10 H.
have been more or less on the water
and who hang them up in their room
or in their home for the sake of pleas
ant associations.
But there are now made also finer
and more costly ships bell clocks for
use on fine yachts, and fine clocks
with this strike are now made for use
as mantel clocks, these last being
most likely to be bought by yachts
men or by others to whom the sea
appeals.
One fine ships bell clock was so
made that 1t could be used either
afioat or ashore secured to a bulk
head or resting on q support on a
mantel. Used afloat, the clock was
removed from its base and screwed
TO a wall in the cabin of the yacht
with screws running through holes
made in the rim of the clocks case
for that purpose. At the end Of the
yachting season the clock could be
brought ashore and set again upon it's
bronze support
Fine ships bell clocks in bronze
cases designed especially for mantel
clocks are made in various sizes and
in variety of styles. Here. for in
stance, is such clock, base and case
or bronze, and the case having
wrought into 1t an anchor, its flukes
and shank of bronze, while its stock
is of oak, with its ends bound With
bronze.
The strike of the ordinary ships
bell clock is loud and sonorous, as it
is intended to be; the strike OF the
fine ships bell is soft and musical.
It's gong. OF a beautiful tone, is set
inside the clock, and the hammer has
little patch of leather set in It's
face, not to mufle but to soften the
tone when the gong Is struck. The
effect produced by this clock striking
is that of the sound of ships bell
heard from some vessel far off shore,
coming unsteady across the water.
These finer ships bell clocks range
In price up to as much as $50

WARNED BY A LIZARD.

Stories of pet animals which havo
rendered some important service to
their masters are not uncommon One
is apt, however, to associate such SER
vices with creatures of a high order
OF intelligence. and would hardly ex-
pect lizard to play the part OF mon
-itor, but TIE Leisure Hour describes
an interesting incident of that kind
which happened in Australia
gold digger had tanned bright
eyed Australian lizard, which made
his quarters in the miners tent and
was an object of interest and atten-
ton on the part of all the men in
camp.
~ On the march he made his home In
HIS masters serge blouse, running up
the arm of the loose garment. or
round the full front above the tight
waistband. as fancy took him. When
the camp was pitched for the night he
employed himself by making the most
careful inspection of the immediate
surroundings within and without the
tent. He made himself acquainted
with every stone. turf, stump or hole
within what he considered his do
main. eventually retiring with the sun
TO the blanket on his masters bed.
where he invariably slept
On one occasion he became restless
during the night. and began to run
rapidly backward and forward over
his masters face. making at the same
time low, splitting noise, like that
OF an angry cat. BY this means he at
length aroused the sleeper, who gen.
tly pushed him away several times,
speaking soothingly in the hope of
quieting the excited little creature.
But the lizard would not be
soothed; Oh the contrary, having at
tracted attention he continued his
rapid movements. until at length his
master, convinced that something YVES
wrong, got up, struck a light and
looked round the tent The sharp
eyes of the lizard followed every
movement with intense interest
Nothing unusual could be seen, and
the miner lay down again. He was
scarcely asleep, however, before the
lizard walked him again, and losing
patience, he seized the creature and
in the darkness tossed him from the
bed across the tent.
In his involuntary flight the little
animal struck the tent pole with con-
siderable force, and half of his tail
was broken off-a matter of no very
great Importance to lizard, perhaps,
but still discoura2ing reward for a
well meant warning. Nevertheless,
the manned little reptile returned to
the bed, kept close 10 his master, and
continued restless and excited all the
asFest of the night.
