THE FIRST "MAN OF STRAW,
Hired Witnesses We're 80 Designated
in Early England.

The phrase, man of straw" had
its origin in England at time when
men might easily he procured to fur
nish evidence upon oath in almost
any emergency. 1t appears that per-
sons of this description were accus-
toned to walk openly in Westminster
Hall with straw projecting. from
their shoes, thus signifying they
sought employment as witnesses.
Hence the expression
An advocate who desired a conven-
lent witness knew by this sign where
to find one; and the collOquy between
the two was brief.
Don't YOU remember the adyo~
cate would ask. The party would
glance at the fee and give no sign
but when the fee was increased his
powers of memory increased with it,
and straw shoes went into court and
swore as desired.-Kansas City Star.

DRIP or WATER TELLS TINE
Ckina's Oldest Clock Is in the Temple
of Time in Canton.

One of the most extraordinary
clocks in the world is the cleDsydra
or water clock Of Canton, China. This
time teller is housed in a temple on
the city walls, and is sight that no
traveller to the Chinese city ever fails
to take in.
In the hall called the Temple of
Time are four big ear:hen jars placed
upon shelves. The fourth and lowest
one has a wooden cover. This, to-
gether with the others, constitutes
the whole clepsydra.
The water descends by slow drops
from one jar to another. the brass
scale on a float in the last crock tell
ing the hours as it rises. 1t is said
that during every afternoon since the
year 1921 A. ID. the lowest jar has
been emptied, the upper one filled and
the clock thus wound up" for an
other day.
Boards with the number of the hour
are displayed on the outside wall, in
order that all passers-by may know
the time.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
