80 SHINES A GOOD DEED"
Thoughtful Act of Busy Man Led An
other to Emulate His Work
of Kindness.

He was brisk, well groomed young
man, who looked as if he were hur-
rying to keep a date with Fortune.
He had crossed the green grass and
goldenrOddy place by the big hotel
near Union station, and had jumped
the tiny ditch that is going to be a
gutter some day, when he noticed an
old Whitley gray horse standing by
what will be the curb.
The detected patience of the poor
creature must have appealed to the
young man, for he sprinted back to
the green grass, pulled bunch of it
and slipped it into whitley grays
mouth.
Old Mr.. Horse munched his treat
with a sudden interest in life that ex-
pressed itself in the flicker of its pal
lid ears and the general bracing up
that means courage.
And a man who had come out OF
the big hotel in time to catch the in
cident also went over to the green
grass pulled a bunch and slipped it
into Whitley gray's mouth,
Such Is the force of eXample,-Ex-

Crinoline in History.

The oft-threatened return of the
crinoline, prophesied by alarmists of
fashion, leaves US all wondering We
find that the crinoline was first worn
In the sixteenth century by Spanish
princess, who used it to conceal her
love letters from a forbidden admirer,
According TO pictures of Queen Eliza
beth she was the first to wear it in
England, a writer i'll the st. Louis
Post Dispatch states. Perhaps she
wore it for the same reason. She had
need of pockets to hide such, provided
all her admirers wrote to her. Among
her earlier portraits we find that her
dress resembled that Of Queen Mary,
her sister. The skirts Of these were
simply widened at the bottom.

The figures on the glass dial are cut
out clear through the metal, which
makes them show very distinctly in
almost any light on account OF the
perfect blackness behind them.
In Mr.. Arthur's bedroom is get-up
clock of his own invention. The face
is two feet in diameter and the hands,
covered by an aluminium paint, show
plainly across the room if there is
any moonlight. The wheels and dial
are of New Jersey dogwood. The
pendulum, which is over five feet long
and has a 27-pound bob, beats once
every one and one-fourth second a
stately measure.
A Fabian Robins Clock.
Standing beside the get-up timekeep-
er are two tall and beautifully inlald
clocks, one made by the celebrated
Fabian Robins in London, in 1895, the
other by the noted Ian Gobels in
Amsterdam in 1867. There are only
ten of Gobels clocks now in existence,
so far as known. The Robins master
piece has unique handmade lacework
steel hands. Though the works were
made in London, the inlaid wood case
was contrived in Holland, the task oc
cupying a year.
One of the clocks downstairs has a
Gothic dome of dark mahogany made
by Mr.. Arthur, and the instrument is
surmounted by solid brass bell, made
long ago in France or Germany, in
copy of a famous cathedral bell in
Moscow.

Mr.. Arthur has put the works OF an
old French clock, made in the Depart,

strikes the hour first, then the quar-,
ters. Most modern big clocks, includ,
ing the one at Madison square, strike
the quarters first. The only thing new
about the machinery is the brass face,
which Mr.. Arthur designed,
There are two carriage-spring clocks
in the house. The spring is simply the
lower part of very diminutive lami
mated carriage spring, lying at the bot
tom of the clock, with its ends turned
upward. The spring is Of steel and
runs the mechanism for a month
without rewinding.
Among the ormolu clocks is one OF
inlaid brass and tortoise shell, in de-
signs which include singing birds and
dancing women Each number on the
dial is on a separate plaque enameled
on copper. There is French buh!

One Of the large timepieces has an

Mr. Arthur says, greatly facilitates
telling the time at a glance.
A fine example of a Howard eight
day clock of Boston is contained in
case of unknown, unsurpassed Ameri-
can workmanship, so perfectly jOinted,
in dark mahogany, that no Cne ordi'
nary man. unaided, could have done it.
A new dial and hands have been added
by Mr. Arthur.
There are several examples in the
collection of the ancient clocks whose
weights, on cotton cords, were pulled
up instead Of being wound Among
them is a one-day Dutch timepiece
with hand painted dial. The works
are 175 years old Some early Ameri-
can owner tore off the original case,
and substituted one of Pennsylvania
cherry wood.
Made for a King.
On one of the mantels stands
French clock made for one Of the old
time kings 1t has a porcelain dial
and is topped by a bronze elephant
remarkable in that it is entirely un-
like an elephant in every single fea-
ture-legs, trunk, mouth, joints, ears,
toes, everything-althOugh resembling
an elephant as a whole when looked
at from a distance.
Among the Japanese timepieces are
number of long, narrow wall clocks
that look like lizards frozen straight
and stiff. The hands of these clocks
are fastened to weights and move up
and down, marking the hours, which
are arranged in a line one above the
other. There are three elaborately
designed Japanese clocks in cases,

Mr.. Arthur has a number Of curl

the very earliest application Of the
pendulum, which in this case is less
than three inches long, is hung on
the verge or pallet axle, and beats 222
times a minute. This clock is at least
two hundred and fifty years old. The
wheels are Of cast brass, but their
teeth were laboriously filed by hand.
All the staffs, pinions and pivots were
filed by hand, as also were the four
screws. 1t is a complete striking
clock, made by a man so poor that
he had only his anvil, hammer and
file There is only one hand, and the
weights are hung by cords and have
to be pulled up.
Among the other interesting time
pieces in the collection are a four
faced chimney clock a yard high, on
which man in Switzerland spent his
entire life; a French clock by Po-
ligny Of Jura; gilt clock in glass,
the pendulum bob of which is child
swinging in and out instead of across ;
an eight-day clock, 25O years old,
made with iron plates, with a dial of
melted pewter spoons; French
clock which has a dinner plate dial
and no hole for winding.
