Clocks That Time Speeches.

On the speakers desk in the United
States house of representatives is a
little clock-like machine with dial
graduated In minutes from one to six
and single hand that goes once round
the dial in six minutes. This is started
and stopped by tiny lever at the top.
The speaker uses 1t in timing members
in debate wherein the speeches are
limited.
The inventor, G. H. Graves Of Phila-
delphia, designed it for keeping time
on long-distance telephone calls, which
are limited to three minutes. At the
bottom Of the dial is scarlet mark.
When you get your connection over
the wire you press the little lever,
which stands at o, and set the machine
going. When the pointer is approach
ing the red mark you know your time
is rapidly drawing to a close.
It is astonishing how few persons
have any idea how long three minutes
are. Nine out of ten will hurry their
long-distance calls so that they use
far less time than they pay for.

CHEAP BUT NOT DESIRABLE
Excellent Reason Why Cinnamon Are
AVerse to Calling in the Aid
of a Physician.

The cost Of doctors visit in China
ranges from to 10 cents. One would
think that, inasmuch as they are so
cheap, nobody would be without doc
tors visits in China, but, as fact, the
Chinese get along with as few Of them
as possible. The reason is said to be
that the Mongolian doctors use such
abominable medicines. Extracts Of oil
sorts Of creeping things enter into the
Chinese drug list, and people are
averse to taking them, except in case
Of extreme necessity.
1t is possible that doctors have pur-
posely provided themselves with these
offensive remedies as a means Of self
protection. It would be very wearing
to a popular physician at cents
visit; he might run his legs of and
get no sleep. He accordingly makes
himself unpopular through the me-
dunn of medicines decocted of beetles
and grasshoppers and such things. He
prefers simple poverty to poverty COM
plicated with running about.

HOW 70 ENFORCE The LAW.

"They tell me that the prohibitory
law is not enforced" says william Jen-
nings Bryan. my answer is, elect men
who will enforce 1t! Don't you know
that the first thing that the liquor in
terests do is to name men who will not
enforce the law? The man who accepts
the nomination from the men interest
ed in liquor must take an oath in adj
vance that he will violate the oath that
the Constitution requires him to take.
That is the condition upon which they
give their support
But l have another answer. If you
tell me that we will have blind tigers
If we don't have saloons, / answer
that If tiger were after my boy, the
binder the tiger, the safer my boy
would bel If the tiger is blind, my boy
must hunt him up; if the tiger can see,
he can hunt my boy up. If we close
the saloons and they still sell liquor,
they do 1t in the byways and in the al
leys, and those who sell are criminals;
and those who deal with them do 1t
with shame upon the face.
IF we close the saloons and then
elect men who will enforce the law we
are not to blame If, in spite Of all we
can do there may be some selling with
out license. We are no more respon-
sible after we have done all we can
than we are for the work of a burglar
who enters house in spite Of the fact
that we have law against burglary"

Sic d Hens and Conservation.

came to the conclusion that as meas

One Of the large saltwater farms Of
Japan consists Of 80 square miles Gov
cred with 5 to Is fathoms of water.
Here the pearl farmer plants rocks
and stones which are soon covered
with oyster spat. The oysters are
then left in special beds until the

Tea In india.

For years past India, the great tea.
producing and exporting country, has
received large imports Of tea from 9TH
er countries. The imports have con-
tinued and even increased during the
war, in spite Of the Cutting of the
market with Indian tea, owing to the
shipping restrictions. The imports are
mainly low-grade teas, which are
transformed" into Indian teas by mix
ing with the genuine article. The bulk
Of the imports are from China, the
Shan States, Ceylon and Java but 1t is
curious to learn that last year 10000
pounds Of tea went to Indian from the
United Kingdom.

HOW THE SALOON PAYS ITS IL.
CENSE MONEY.

Some one may claim that the sa-
loon helps to pay his taxes, This is
a great error. Can you squeeze water
out of a sponge? If you think you can,
go down to the drug store and buy
one. l will squeeze it. How much
water do / get?
The only way you can get water out
Of a sponge is to bring the water in
basin, drop in the sponge and let 1t
absorb it. Then you can squeeze some
Of the water back.
If you want to get money out of a
saloon, the only way is to put the
saloon down In the community and for
every $4,000 it takes from the peck
cts of the people you can squeeze one
thousand Of it back in the form of city
license. The saloon must pick the
pockets Of the poor-to pour a thin
