Ths Motto on the Clock.

The old Temple clock In London
bears curious inscription, the origin
OF which Is ascribed to chance re-
mark
Some 200 years or SO ago a master
workman was employed to repair and
put in new face upon the clock
When his work was nearly done he
asked the benchers for an appropriate
motto to carve upon the base. They
promised to think Of one. Week after
week he came for their decision. but
was put off. One day he found them
at dinner In commons.
what motto shall put on the clock,
your lordship?" he asked of learned
Judge.
ooh, 60 about your businessw his
honor cried angrily.
And very suitable for lazy, daw.

to have muttered as he retreated. II

The people OF Tibet make their tea
in complex fashion. They get 1t in
"bricks," which are brought overland
from China by caravan. When a IL
betan wants to make tea he takes a
piece of tea brick, pulverizes 1t and
boils 1t In kettle for a few minutes
with n suficiency Of water and pinch
of salt Then he puts the mixture into
little churn, adding bit Of butter and
small quantity Of fine ground barley
These things be churns Vigorously for
d few minutes and then pours the stuff
into the teapot. A strainer Of bamboo
is used. Each person in Tibet carries

am globe trotter. have visited
every country on the earth, but / have
had only one adventure worth telling
Being In Palermo, in the island of
Sicily, | desired to visit the temple Of
Ceres, the NEUROLOGICAL goddess of the
crops, from whom the word cereal Is
derived Sicily Is still more or less in
the power of the brigands, and the
location of this temple Is one Of their
operating grounds A visit to the spot
IS, or was at that time, equivalent to
capture by them and having to put
out goodiy sum for ransom. There
were several Americans at Palermo
who wished to see the temple, so we
made up party to go together.
The dangerous part of the trip was
drive we were obliged to take from
the end Of the railroad to the temple
We telegraphed ahead TO the authori-
ties to learn whether we could not get
policemen or soldiers for a guard. We
received a reply that we would be
taken care OF,
When we reached the terminal we
found that the way we were to be
taken care OF was this A daring and
willy brigand named Giovanni Taran-
tola had sent the police word that any
party going to the temple Of Ceres
would be robbed. Tarantola always
acted alone, and the police concluded
to send several Of what we would call
plain clothes men with us, who would
catch Signor Tarantola In his own
trap.
All our tourists except myself backed
out. The reason I stood my ground
was that in all my travels had had
no marked adventure, and needed
one to liven up my accounts OF places
/ had visited. When reached the fer
minal l found little bit of an old
stagecoach, drawn by three mules, In
which we were to make the journey.
The paint had long ago been worn off
1t, all except the words Rigie Poste
royal maiD, for which it had formerly
been used. 1t held four persons In
side and three outside.
Three policemen and myself occupied
the inside, two Of the former being
dressed as women. We were all arm
ed and ready for Tarantola. We had
gone but few leagues when our royal
mail coach was stopped by woman
who wished to take passage with us.
Sicily abounds In beautiful flowers,
and the woman who Joined US held a
large bouquet Of them in her hands.
It is always warm on the island, but
this person said she had bad cold
and asked If any Of us would object
to her having the windows closed.
The Italian ladies are pretty while
young, but there are many hays
among the lower classes, especially
those past middle age. Our passen-
ger, though she was Of large build
