Lono Life of Clocks.

Of all machines made by man none can compare for long life with the clock. The life of a clock is as much longer than that of any other ma chinery as the life of man is longer than that of a dog. The French city of Rouen has great clock which was built in the year 1889 and is still keep ing good time. Except for cleaning and a few necessary repairs it has never stopped during period of more than five centuries. It strikes the hours and chimes the quarters.

SELECTING THE DAIRY SIRE
Demand for Stock That Will Improve Herd Is What Has Made Ad-
 vanced Registry So Popular.

On every large farm where a herd of dairy cattle is kept, the question of selecting the dairy sire is one of constant recurrence. A bull may be kept in a herd for a few years, and then there Is a necessity to supplant him with other blood especially If his daughters are maintained in the breed ing herd,
 The breeder who is constantly try ing to improve his cattle and increase the productive capacity of the herd, says Kimballs Dairy Farmer, is al- ways anxious to get little better stock with each succeeding purchase. If he has handled his cattle so as to make creditable records the search must be more far-reaching, and the ease with which a bull suitable to head the herd may be found will not be so great.
 The demand for stock that will con- stantly improve the herd is what has made the advanced registry work of the various associations so popular. These official records are the index to the desirability of families and breed ing, and 1t is only through following up the work that has been done by a certain strain that a definite knowl- edge of what may be expected from a bull is available. By its use 1t is possible to keep inreasing the yield of milk and butter fat; if it is ignored one Is groping in the dark
 Selecting sire is most important and should have the careful attention of every thoughtful dalryman. Such bull should be chosen as will make 1t possible for the heifers to do just a little better than their dams have done, and also such bull as will keep up the type of the herd

Earhers Act as coroners.

Tn Egypt large proportion of tEe barbers are state functionaries. Ac- cording to an edict issued by Ibra- him Pasha in 1S48, every village bar Der was ordered, when death occurred in his district, to make a careful eX- animation of the corpse, and report to the authorities any death occurring through epidemic, disease or foul play. Severe penalties were imposed for any neglect of this duty, and fee of 5 cents was paid for each death regis tered Five years ago the system of payment by fees was abolished and each village barber now draws from the government fixed salary for his services.

An old stove can be made to look like new by, first of all, washing it with hot soap suds containing an al kali to cut the grease, etc. Mix with any good stove blacking a teaspoon of turpentine.

Great Poet Fast ~ orker. |

Byron worked fast. He once told a publisher that he was like tiger, and if he missed his first spring went "grumbling back to his lair.' Many of his works were written at fever heat when the first spring did not miss. "The Corsair' occupied ten days, and two rainy days at Ouchy were sufficient to produce the "Pris- oner of Chillon" The Bride of Abydos," though revised afterward, was at first the work of only four nights, and most of his poems, in fact, were impromptus.
