Old Time Enqlish Elections.

In old time England each constitu-
ency gave its representative In parlia-
ment horse to carry him to West
minister and also paid his expenses on
the road, These expenses, together
with an allowance for each day spent
on duty at the house of commons, gen.
orally at the rate of 80 cents day,
were refunded in one lump sum when
the member returned home ut the end
Of the parliamentary year. Sir +. De-
laval totaled seven votes In an attempt
on Andovcr in the general election Of
176S. An item in his election agents
bill is typical Of the reckoning he had
to pay: ITO being thrown out of the

thereby broken. to surgeons bill and

A Story Of Heinrich Heine and q
Toothsome Lyons Sausage.
Returning from a journey to the
south of France, Heinrich Heine met
friend, German violinist, In Lyons,
who gave him large sausage that
had been made in Lyons with the
request to deliver it to a mutual ac-
quaintance, homeopathic physician.
In Paris. Heine promised to attend
to the commission and intrusted the
delicacy to the care Of his wife. who
was travelling with him. But as the
postchaise was very slow and he
soon became very hungry, on the adj
vice of his wife both tasted Of the
sausage, which dwindled with every
mile.
Arriving at Paris. Heine did not
dare to send the remainder to the
physician, and yet he wished to keep
his promise So he cut off the thin
nest possible slice with his razor,
wrapped 1t In sheet of vellum paper
and inclosed 1t In an envelope, with
the following note:
Dear Doctor-brom your sclentlHc ilNes-
legations we learn that the millionth part
of certain substance brings about the
greatest results 1 beg, therefore. your
kind acceptance OF the accompanying mil

the actors mingle with the spectators
In order to cooperate from the body
Of the house. No sooner had Mlralles,
the actor. taken his seat In the stalls
than daring pickpocket robbed him
of his gold watch. Miralles seized the
man by his coat collar and called out
In a deep bass voice:

Curiosities Of Superstition.

When Egypt was In the height OF
her power. when she was most highly
civilized and delighted In being called
the mistress of the land and sea. her
people worshlped black bull. There
was some discrimination. however.
even IN this form of worship. In order
to be IN object of mad alteration 1t was
necessary that the bull calf be born
with a circular white spot In the cx.
act center Of his forehead. and the
advent Of such creature IN any herd
was the signal of wild demonstrations
from the Mediterranean to the border
Of the Lyblan desert. Even rs late as
the time Of Cleopatra. star eyed god.
dcss, glorious sorceress of the Nile,
such animals were shod with gold and
had their horns tipped with the same
metal Herodotus tells OF man who
died with grief because he sold COW
that soon after became the mother Of
black bull calf marked with the sacred
white circle In his forehead.

Lead Pencil Experimenta.

An English statistlcian was asked
how many words could be written
with an English lead pencil. aud. be-
ing determined to answer It. he bought
lead pencil and SCOTS "Ivanhoe"
and proceeded to copy the latter word
by word. He wrote 95,60S words and
then was obliged to stop. for the pen
ell had become so short that he could
not use 1t. A German statistician who
heard Of this experiment was dissat
ished with 1t because all the lead In
the pencil was not used on the work.
and therefore he bought a pencil and
started to copy Il long German novel
When the pencil was so short that he
could not handle 1t with his fingers
he attached holder to It. and 1t Is
said that he wrote with this one pen
ell 100000 words. Possibly. however
his pencil was longer or the lead In
1t was Of a more durable quality.

THE FIRST CLOCKS.
One at Padua That Was a Wonder Of
Mechanism.


1t was, we are told. In 1909 that the
first clock known to the world was
placed In the tower of San Eustorgio.
In Milan.
The greatest establishment and adj
miration were manifested by crowds
who fiocked to see the timepiece. In
1874 a clock was installed in the pal
ace Of the mobiles at Padua. This was
a wonder of mechanism indeed, for
besides Indicating the hours 1t showed
the course of the sun, the revolutions
of the planets. the various phases Of
the moon, the months and the fetes
of the year.
The period of the evolution from the
years-not so very long, all things con-
sidered-and the record of the first
watch is $780, A half century later
an alarm clock made its appearance.
This, we are told, was looked upon
by the people of that age as "un In
strument prodigieux."
The fortunate possessor Of this clock
was Andrea Alciato. a councillor Of
Milan. The chroniclers have placed
on record that this clock sounded q
bell at a stated hour, and at the same
time a little wax candle was lighted
automatically. How this was done we
are not told, but 1t must not be over
looked that until about seventy years
ago we had no means of obtaining a
light other than the finder box, so
that the Milanese must have been Gen.
turtles ahead of US in this respect.
Not much progress was made with
the watch until 1740. when the Sec
ond hand was added.-London Globe.

and ducks began to fly north from the
numerous bays and inlets along the
South Jersey coast, and bluebirds
have been seen, q sure sign of warmer
weather and an early spring. On Feb
ruary the grounding came out Of
his winter quarter, saw his shadow
and went back, sure sign that there
will be six more weeks Of genuine old
fashioned winter. So there you are.
All these signs are equally venerable
and equally trustworthy. You can
take your choice. The grounding
