Cripple Who Made Good.

An interesting case that came before
the federal employment agency of the
United States was that of a cripple
who applied at the New York office for
Il position as barnman on a dairy
farm. The governments labor agent
sent him to a dairy farmer who had
applied for help. When the cripple ar
rived at the dairy farm, the farmer,
greatly incenSed at the mans infirmity,
refused to let him go to work, and
Immediately communicated to the
agent his indignation at being supplied
with "a poor excuse for a man." The
agent insisted that the farmer give the
cripple a chance to show his ability.
Also, he made the proposition that
instead of the $50 month named as
wages in the former agreement, the
cripple should be allowed to work at
the rate of dollar a COW per month.
he to milk all the cows he could
handle. The farmer took the agent up
on this offer, with the result that the
cripple has been getting $50 a month
for his work-WOrld's Work.

CLOCK TO BE DEPENDED ON
Cleveland Claims the Record of Hav-
ing the Most Accurate OF Worlds
Timekeepers.

In the Case School of Applied Sci
ence in Cleveland there is a clock that
holds the worlds record for accurate
housekeeping. Over period Of several
months it showed a variation of only
eight-thousandths of a second day.
which, in years time, would be less
than three seconds.
Ship chronometers, which are the
most accurate time measuring inStru
mentS in general use, cannot keep true
time within less than three to five sec
onds a month. Marine observations
are absolutely dependent on accurate
timepieces, but ships officers have to
be satisfied if they can adjust their
chronometers so that they will either
gain or lose a certain amount each
day. Then they add or substract and
get absolutely correct time.
This Case clock, says the Youths
Companion, stands on n stone pier, in
dependent of the building, that eX-
tends sixteen feet TO ii natural Shale
foundation. 1t is in Il small room sur
rounded by two other rooms, all built
with brick walls Gas stoves heat the
outer rooms, and electric contact Their
mometers regulate the temperature.
The gas stove flame automatically
rises or falls with the variation in the
outside air temperature. Thus on warm
days in August the flame in the gas
stove is very low, while in below-zero
January it burns at its brightest In
the clock room itself the temperature
is adjusted by an ordinary siXteen-can-
die power incandescent lamp that Is
flashed on and off by another electric
contact thermometer. The school
strictly enforces the rule that there
must never be more than two persons
in this inner room at one time.
The clock, which stands five feet
high, has three separate dials that reg
lister the hours, minutes and seconds.
1t is inclOSed in an alright glass jar,
inside of which are delicate inStru-
ments for measuring temperature, at
mOSpheric pressure and moisture, A
small amount of chloride of lines
which is an efficient desiccating ma
terial, is kept always in the jar to alb
sorb the moisture.
BY the aid of set of dry batteries
the clock automatically winds itself
every seven minutes. The movement
is adjusted slow or fast by pumping
air in or out of the glass container.
Observations are made from the out
side through double glass windows
through the separating walls and by
means of small electric lamp placed
over the dialS.
Not only can this wonderful piece
of /clock mechanism be adjusted to
show less than n three second annual
variation, but it is also possible TO
make electric connections with other
similar clocks elsewhere. With this
as a master clock the others can be
made to keep the same accurate time.

Opposed Decimal system.

Among the most determined oppo-
nents of the decimal system was, Of
course, Herbert Spencer. Some of his
most eloquent pamphlets were written
against it. So determined, indeed, was
he that nothing he could do to prevent
it's introduction should be left undone,
that he made a permanent provision
for renewing the opposition whenever
it might be necessary. He left instruc-
tons that his famous pamphlets should
be at once reprinted, whenever there
was any serious possibility of the au-
thoritieS being so far lied astray" as
to contemplate the adoption Of the
system. His executors are, no doubt,
taking note of the present renewed
agitation.

Too Many Acres.

In the early nineties a North Dakota
farmer owned three quarter sections of
land. His farm was quite heavily mort
gagged and for a number of years he
had not been able to pay interest in
full. His family was small and for
most of the work he had to depend on
hired help. He concluded that under
the circumstances he was working, or
trying to work, too many acres. Final
ly he sold a quarter section and paid
his debts. Seven years later he had
5000 in the bank. Increased prices of
farm products during this period only
account in part for this farmers in
creased prosperity. In this case all the
acres had been Improbable largely be-
cause there were too many of them.

for those who find it difficult Of dges-
ton Fish is often a food that causes
biliousneSs and skin eruptions. Lob
ster and crab are difficult of diges-
ton.
Cabbage, cooked, is not easy of di-
gestion, and many find the root vege-
tables, like potatoes, turnips and car
rOts cause distress. Most vegetables
when well cooked and seasoned agree
with everybody.
Fruit is considered wholesome, but
it takes a good digestion to take care
Of q sour grapefruit, q dish of Oat-

pies and oranges usually agree with
nearly everyone Bananas are nutri-
tiOus and wholesome to some and to
others very difficult of digestion.
Tea drinking is injurious to many
women when INDUCED in too frequent
iy. Tea should under no circumstances
be boiled, and should not stand on
the grounds to absorb the tannin. If
the face 1ushes after drinking tea
YOU may be sure that it disagrees with
YOU, or if you feel the least indigestion
following the cup of tea, it should be
tabOOed, substituting cocoa instead.
Food that at certain times in the
life agreed with one may at other
times cause Indigestion. Milk is often
too heavy and causes bili0usness in
adults when in childhood it was the
main food.
People who lead an indoor life do
not require much meat. Mutton and
lamb are much easier of digestion
than beef, and meat once a day is all
that is needed.
