 Wasn't Used to.

T think madam said the profes- sionally polite young doctor to the wife of his first patient in the back woods of a decidedly nonprohibition state, q think that your husband needs a good stimulant of some sort and I will leave for him some"
 No, sir!" she said, with marked de. cision.

I'm goin' to fix him up a quart or so O good rye whisky to take first thing in the mornin', an I'll stir him up good, strong whisky eggnog at noon, and let him have steamin hot brandy punch along in the middle O the afternoon, an give him glass O wild grape wine at night; but as foi stimmylants, he aint goin' to take none of 'em, long as can help it.'- Judge.

Appliances for Measurinq Time.

Mechanical appliances for measur- ing time were in use from the earliest ages and clocks of one kind or an other were made in Europe before the discovery of America. Brass wheel clocks with weights, standing six feet high, such as are now called grandfather clocks, were common in England and Germany long before the revolutionary war The first clockma- ker in the United States was Eli Ter ry, who made his first clock with wooden wheels in 1792, and afterward made a great many, and they were good timekeepers. In 1897 he con- tracted to deliver 4000 wooden wheel movements to certain firm, and it took him three years to fill the order. Seth Thomas, once a well known Yan- kee clockmaker. learned his trade with Eli Terry. Brass wheel clocks were first made in the United States in 1887.

NOT JUST WHAT SHE MEANT
Under the Circumstances It Is to Be Hoped Minister Had Sense
 of Humor.

When the new minister made his first pastoral call at the Brownings he took little Anna on his knee and asked her if she had a kiss for him. But the little girl refused to kiss or be kissed. She squirmed loose and ran into the next room, where her mother was put ting a few finishing touches to her adornment before going into the draw ing room to greet the clergyman.
 Mamma" the little girl whispered, the man in the drawing room wanted me to kiss him.
 Well" replied mamma, why didn' t you let him? I would if I was you. J
 Thereupon Anna ran back into the drawing room and the minister asked:
 Well, little lady, won't you kiss me now?"
 No, I won't" replied Anna, prompt, ly, but mamma says she will"

A friend of his who chanced to pass by as Pat was belaboring large stone with re- newed yigor, tried to show him the right way, and taking the hammer from him broke the stone with ease.

First Newsnaner

The Acta Diurna (Acts of the Day). instituted by Julius Caesar, comes about as near being the first newspa- per as anything we can find. There was an official editor, and the gazette was exhibited daily in public. It was coried by scribes, who sold it to their customers. The Acta contained an nouncements or decrees by the gov ernment, notices relating to the courts, and other matters of public in. terest, such as birth, marriages and deaths. It had a wide circulation and in many ways fulfilled the office of a regular newspaper.

Trees and Liqntning.

The electrical resistance of trees is quite great, a quality which protects them to a considerable degree from lightning stroke. This resistance var ies greatly with the character of the tissues and also with the temperature. This fact results in an annual and daily period of resistance. The cam blum layer shows the least electrical resistance, followed by the phloem and sapwood
