The Modern Clock.

Few persons consider the clock as a
piece Of machinery. especially when
got up in the cheap forms, which are
now SO universal. But the principal
clock builders employ skilled en-
gineers. electrical and mechanical,
whose inventive minds are shown in
the ingenious makeup of some Of the
automatic clock devices which are be-
coming more and more commercially
popular in the effort to provide uni
form standard time throughout the
country. If simultaneous actions in
different parts Of a large establish
ment are dependent upon the clock,
all the clocks in the different depart
ments must tell exactly the same time.
By the old way there were used many
high grade clocks. each expensive and
even then liable to vary from each
other. The modern way is to install
one high grade master clock. which
automatically regulates any number of
secondary clocks

moved with turpentine and the floor
wiped with cloth saturated with the
waxing substance.
An oak stain for pine or whitewood
floors may be made as follows: Two
cups Of boiled oil, one and one-half
cups Of turpentine, three tablespoon
fuls of raw umber. three tablespoon
fuls Of whiting. Mix very thoroughly.
A good cherry stain is made of the
same ingredients, substituting burnt
sienna for the raw umber and using
little less whiting. When floors have
been given one or two coats Of stain
they may be waxed according to the
directions given above.
Carpets and Rugs.
Old floors can be painted and then
oiled, or they may be treated with any
desired floor preparations that are on
the market. The hardwood or painted
floor is much preferable to any carpet,

room complete some covering is neces-
sary. This would better be one good
sized rug or several smaller ones. de-

good preparation for waxing is made
as follows: Melt one pound of wax
slowly over hot water. When quite

one pint of turpentine.- If soft finish
is desired add one cupful of paraflin

have the wax melted and the floor free
from dust. If there are any stains on
the floor remove them before applying
the wax. A strong solution of oxalic
acid will remove black or almost any

also remove the staining substance,

peraments. Just SO it is with color.
We cannot always give reason for
our preferences. but we are sure they
exist. and most people are sensitive
to color to a greater or less degree.
Ones favorite color brings repose and
enjoyment, is conducive to health and
exercises an actual influence on our
life and moods. But even in crafty
ing this preference wisdom must be
shown. for there are many colors of
which a little is enjoyable when a
mass would be uncomfortable. Constant
ly surrounded by a glow of vivid scar
let would be like close companionship
with a brass band, but touch of
scarlet amid dull surroundings is
pleasing sensation.
AS far as effect is concerned. the
color of a room makes its atmosphere.
1t may be cheerful or sad. cozy or dis
turbing. according to its quality and
fonce. Without color a room is much
like a bare canvas. which might. but
does not. give vivid picture Of some
phase of life. The eolorless room has
nothing to tell of the character OF its
occupants.
Color in a house includes much that
is ciassed as furniture. 1t applies to
carpets. draperies and ornaments. hut
it is first and pre-eminently applied TO
wall treatment. In selecting color for
a single room or for an entire house
certain points must be borne in mind.
The first is that one person does not
make a home. It takes the combined
influence and personality of every per-
sor living under the roof to give its
true character. Every book. every pic
ture, every carefully selected piece OF
furniture. brought into the house
makes it part of a beautiful whole.
and no house can be absolutely perfect
without all these evidences of family
life.
Good rules to follow in selecting col
ors for any room are to make the
choice on this basis:

pounds. The amount depends some
what on it's ability to handle increased
quantities.
The stomach of the young calf is
very delicate, and all changes should
be made gradually. When about two
weeks old the calf, if strong, vigor-
Gus one. can be gradually changed to
skimmiik. During the first day de
crease the amount of the whole milk
one pound and add one pound of skim
milk, and so on each day until the
change is complete. Previous to this
the calf should have a little grain
(corn or Kaffir cornmeal or mixture
of both) placed in it's mouth immedi-
ately after drinking it's milk. In this
way it gets a taste of the grain and
will soon go to the feed boxes and eat
with relish.
After the change to skimmilk is
completed the amount may be gradu-
ally increased as fast as the calf is
able to consume it without securing.
Care must be taken not to increase
too rapidly. The calf is greedy ami
NAL and will appear more hungry aft
er drinking it's milk than before, and
If given too much it will soon be on
the sick list. The milk fed should be
weighed or measured at each feeding
Our experience has been that a cali
from three to five weeks Of age can
| be fed from ten to twelve pounds dai

| fourteen to sixteen pounds and when

The choice of color, the style and ar

their part in developing the men and

but being an object Of contumely. So

celibacy far be It from the majesty Of
the law to impose further penalties,
II was Cicero or q man Of his day who
remarked that It was onerous for q
man to get along with a wife, but i'm.
possible to get along without one. The
bachelor is not man-only a more
or less Imitation Of one-sometime q
very poor one. He thinks he has q
good time in escaping all the major
responsibilities Of life, but he Is de-
ceiving no one but himself. Az an
example and a warning he has his
uses in society. AS an individual he
Is apt to find that he is eating only
apples Of Sodom. The man who de-
liberately remains bachelor Is al
ready punished enough. Let him alone
in his misery until some nice girl
comes along and carries him of. And
we may remark that no man Is q bach.
slor Of his own initiative-no matter
how much he may think so. He is
simply q human derelict whom the
women have examined and passed by.
The bachelors are the disjecta mem.

MUSIC APPEALS TO EsKIM0S.
Voices Good and They Sing In Tune,

tells of an evenings entertainment
with the Eskimos at Main.
For over an hour these natives sing
to US" he says, familiar music with
Eskimo words-Rock of Ages Holy
Night interspersed with what take
to be secular songs. Their voices are
harmonious and the singing is of a
superior order. We return the compli-
ment in the only way we can with

come-down to The Old Apple Tree and
Everybody Works But Father, but the
Eskimos seem to enjoy it, and greet
the songs and their explanation by
the interpreter with peals Of laughter.
"A song In which man beats his
wife seems especially to amuse them.
