Clocks and Watches.

There is no record showing who
was the inventor of the present form
of clock, which was the successor of
the water clock, which was in domes-
tic use in the east for 1000 years
and which was improved by the
Greeks and Romans. The Saracens
are credited with substituting a weight
for water to turn the toothed wheel
that recorded the time. The inven-
tion of an escapement is attributed to
Gerbert about A. d. 1000. Continual
improvements have been made since
then. The first watches were made
early in the sixteenth century by Peter
Hele. clock maker of Nuremberg
Boston Globe.
Sound Dusiness Sense.
A little chap in Philadsaphaa, whose
father is a prominent merchant, and
as such, never loses an opportunity to
descant upon the virtues Of advertis-
ing, one day asked his mother:

Yes. assented the mother; but
you must be very, very quiet"

Cats of Osaka.

Consul John H. Snodgrass of Kobe
reports that since DR.. Koch advised
the keeping of cats as the best means
in the prevention of plague the Japa-
nese authorities have been active in
investigating the number of cats main
tained and their relative value. The
result of Investigations made by the
police shows that there are 81, 1889 cats
kept in Osaka, city of 100000 peo.
pie. the families where cats are kept
numbering 1922. In addition there
are 1886 homeless cats. 1t is note
worthy that in certain parts of the
city, recognized as more liable to
plague, no cats are found.

eTILL USE GOOSE GULL PENS.

For Signing Marriage Contracts and
Wills-School Masters Occupation.
1t seems queer that, considering the
abundance, excellence and especially
the che apness of steel pens, anybody
should prefer the old goose quills, but
there are some people who do.
They are mostly foreigners-Bohe-
mians, Hungarians and Russians-gen-
orally men well alcrg in years who
have been using quills all their lives
and have an idea that writing can
hardly be done at all except with a
goose quill. Throughout Europe, es-
pecially in eastern Europe, the quill
has not yet been displaced by the
steel pen, and even in England, in pub
lie places, like the writing rooms OF
hotels, the quill and the steel pen are
seen lying side by side on the writing
tables for people to take their choice.
In off cial circles in England there was
until recently an idea that document
was not legal unless it was written
with the old fashioned quill pen,
though this notion is now dying out.
But among certain classes of re-
ligicnists il Russia the impression
still prevails, and marriage contracts,
wills, deeds and other important pa
psrg are always written with goose
quill.
There is an old Russian, formerly a
schoolmaster. living on Wash street,
who makes pens for his countrymen,
and mends them too, for mending q
quill pen is about as important and
essential as the making, as very few
people can write with slill pen more
than an hour or two without getting
it out of order.

Using the census of 1900 as a basis

persons were between the ages of five
