Many years ago there was need of
new clock in the hall of the famous
Temple of London. The clock was
made and set up in due time, but
there was one thing it lacked: an in
scription under it. At the time the
clock was ordered, its maker had been
told to go to the Benchers for a motto
when it should be needed; but he had
gone again and again, to find the old
fellows busy or lazy, or, at any rate,
indisposed to give him instructions.
He was a persevering man; and at
that period clock was not complete
without some pleasant saying or
phrase of warning to meet the eye of
him who glanced upward to learn the
hour. So he tried once more, and ar
rived at a most inopportune hour, the
old Benchers being about to sit down
to dinner, very important function
with them.
1.-THE motto, if you please, kind
sirs?' said the clockmaker. "Have
you thought of one?"
"This is really intolerable!" re-

A MOTTO BY CHANCE

sponded crusty veteran, with one eye
on the savory dishes which were I'M
readiness. "To the mischief with your
tiresome old clock!" he added, i'm
patiently.
The clockmaker sat down to wait.
He was tired of all this procrastina-
ton, but resolved to be patient.
Master clockmaker," called an
other, Ego about your business!"
"Ah, thank you, sir!" answered the
workman,-"t the very thing!"
And, going home, he inserted in it's
proper niche at the bottom of the
clock, go about your business!'-a
motto which, the old Benchers after
ward declared, could not have been
improved upon if they had thought
until their heads ached.
The very same story is told of the
old sun-dial in Temple Garden, in
which Lord Bacon takes the place of
the impatient Bencher, and his per-
tinacious querist is an idle student
instead of an Industrious builder of
clocks.

The Liars Mound.

Dyaks, natives of Borneo, are ex-
tremely truthful. So disgraceful,
indeed, do the Dyaks consider the
deceiving Of others by an untruth
that such conduct is handed down
to posterity by curious custom.
They heap up a pile of the branches
of trees in memory of the man who
has uttered great lie so that the
future generations may know of his
wickedness and take warning from
it. The persons deceived start the
"tugong bula"-the liars mound
by heaping a large number Of
branches in some conspicuous spot
by the side of the path from one
village to another. Every passerby
contributes to it and at the same
time curses the man in memory Of
whom it is. The Dyaks consider the
adding to any tugong bula they may
pass a sacred duty, the omission Of
which will meet with supernatural
punishment.
