FAMOUS OLD CLOCK

The famous clock of the late John
Muir, the noted naturalist and ex-
plorer, which not only woke him up
in the morning, but dumped him out
of bed; which delivered his books to
him in regular sequence when he was
studying and which lighted his fire In
the morning, has just been presented
to the Wisconsin State Historical so-
ciety's museum at Madison by the
Wisconsin Alumni Association of
Northern California. The Milwaukee
Journal gives the following account,
with Illustration, of that extraordinary
clock:
The clock was used by Muir during
his school days at Wisconsin univer-
sity in the early sixties. Because of his
desire to work, he kept late hours and
found it hard to get up. First he tried
tying a string to his toe and having
the janitor pull it at 5 a. m. This
worked until some of the students
nearly pulled him out of bed. Then
he built a clock which would do the
work.
He built a bed of pine boards with
three legs, two at the head and one
at the foot. The leg at the foot was
THEIR CHANCE TO STOP WAR
eace Agitators Meeting in Back
Room Given Opportunity to Bring
Conflict to End.
The peace agitators were meeting
tn the back room. They had just de-
clared the war must be brought to an
end.
"It's all up to us," the impassioned
chairman shouted. "If we do our duty
the thing's accomplished."
At that moment the door opened
and a military aid in full uniform ap-
peared on the threshold.
"Fall in," he cried. "You are now a
part of the first company of the Sec-
ond regiment of the Black Brigade.
You start for the front this afternoon!
Forward march!"
And the little band tramped forth
to end the war.—Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
An Achievement.
'Are you sure you thoroughly un-
derstand that question you attempted
to decide?"
'No," replied Senator Sorghum;
'but I fancy I expressed myself in
terms sufficiently obscure to prevent
anybody else from taking enough in-
terest to call me down."

Superstitious Remedies.
For sore eyes a touch from an old
gold wedding-ring is a popular rem-
edy, and many an old woman's ring
has earned for itself a great name
as an eye healer. Apparently relia-
ble authorities can be found who as-
sert that they have been cured by a
touch of this description. Borlase as-
serts as a fact that a halter with
which anyone has been hanged will
cure headache Instantly if tied
around the head, and he adds, "Moss
growing upon a human skull, if dried
and powdered and taken as snuff, is
no less efficacious." Brands tells of
several superstitious remedies or
charms: "Hollow stones are hung up

mares or ephialtes. They are usually

places of execution are used as amu-

bow. This elbow was held by a peg
so that if the peg was released the
bed would drop to an angle of 45 de-
grees. A strong cord, fastened to the
peg, led to the clock; on the end of
the cord near the clock was a large
stone. Before retiring the cord was
attached to the clock and at five the
clock would do its deadly work. The
noise of John falling out of bed and
the falling stone awakened everyone
in the building.
While teaching in a country school-
house he used the clock to start a fire
before he arrived at school. The clock
upset a tube of sulphuric acid into a
mixture of chlorate of potash and
sugar placed under the kindling and
wood the night before. Instant com-
bustion took place.
He also used the clock to open and
shut his books when he wished to
Girls Will Marry Crippled Soldiers.
A letter in the London Daily Mail
conveys the information that hun-
dreds of English girls have expressed
their willingness to marry crippled
British soldiers and to care for them
as their contribution to their country's
cause. The offers came as the result
of a published suggestion that plucky
girls might be of service so, and all
that stands in the way of the success
of this wholesale matchmaking is that
no degree of pluck and patriotism
seems sufficient to overcome maidenly
shyness. The girls have agreed to
marry, but they cannot walk up to the
first one-legged soldier they see and
tell him so. Meetings are to be ar-
ranged by certain women of the Lon-
don West end, where these self-sacri-
ficing girls will be introduced to the
lifelong burdens they have agreed to
take as husbands.
Kerosene Put Out Fire.
A bale of cotton when compressed
for shipment abroad has the density
of an oak plank.
Recently in California a large quan-
tity of baled cotton became ignited,
and, as is always the case, the fire
ate into the center of the bale. The
density of the cotton will allow water
to penetrate the bale only very slowly.
Kerosene will penetrate the fibers
very fast and, knowing this fact, kero-
sene was used ana the supply of oxy-
gen which was necessary to the fire
cut off. It was successful and the
greater portion of the cotton saved

from h$r husband, not even for a day,
before the war. has since the war
broke out, never been to see him, al-
though the general staff's headquar-

for a wife to try to visit her husband
at the front, therefore, although
Madame Joffre has every facility for

SCORED HEAVILY ON PRINCE
Beau Brummell's Remark Left Him
Master of Situation, but Victory
Was a Costly One.
"She returns my love."
"When you get it back you will find
that she, being a Boston girl, has
chilled it through, and you will have
to warm it over."
Point to Consider.
"I'm afraid Grabson thinks too much
about the material things o? life."
"Perhaps so, but we need a few
people in the world like him."
"Yes?"
"If everybody spent his time in
reading poetry, admiring works of
art and listening to soulful music,
who'd donate the money to build li-
braries, art galleries and audito.
riums?"
Wistful Waiting.
"I passed a man sitting in a broken-
down motor car while taking a trip
through the country this morning."
"Did he seem worried?"
"Not particularly. In fact, he had a
far-away look in his eyes."
"Maybe he was thinking of the place
he hopes to reach some day."
'Twould Seem So.
"Trolley car conversation is about
on a par with street corner gossip."
"I think it's rather above."
"Why so?"
"Considering the difficulty of mak-
ing oneself heard on the average trol-
ley car, the person who talks there
must have something worth while to
say."
The greatest dandy and fop of mod-
ern times was George Brummeli,
known as Beau Brummeli. He lived
a life delicate and leisured, and since
he was poor his living depended upon
the favor of the court. The court
at that time was represented in the
set where the beau's influence was
felt by the prince of Wales, who was,
if truth must be told, not a slender
man. It happened that the prince
and the beau quarreled.
To be a dandy is not generally con-
sidered the first mark of being a
brave man, but Beau Brummeli gave
instant proof that he was not only a
great dandy but a great man as well.
The details of the story are somewhat
vague, but the main facts are certain.
Brummeli knew that his quarrel with
the prince would mean an end of his
prestige, but he refused to yield, and
on the day following the quarrel went
walking with a friend, said to have
been Sheridan.
The news of the rupture between
the prince and the dictator of fashions
had spread, and there were not a
few who gathered in the hopes of a
passage at arms between them.
It happened that Sheridan and
Brummeli met the prince and his
party. With princely ostentation the
royal personage called Sheridan aside
and spoke to him, pointedly ignoring
Brummeli, who stood by. Brummeli
did not flinch in the crisis, he was
the only person who seemed to be in-
different. Then Sheridan returned.
With a gesture of indifference Brum-
meli lifted his glasses to his eyes
and, indicating with a slight wave of
his hand the person to whom he re-
ferred, he asked in a clear but lan-
guid voice the famous question:
"Sherry, who's your fat friend?"
Brummeli spent the greater part
of the remainder of his life in Calais,
an outcast, a broken man. But with
the memory of his great rebuke, it
can hardly be said that in the crisis
he was found wanting.
Just a Theory.
"Good heavens! Why does that
young woman playing the piano next
door sing so loudly?"
"Maybe her conscience hurts her."
"What do you mean?"
"She probably wants to drown out
the racket her mother is making in
the kitchen washing dishes."
Indifference.
do you prefer,
"Which uo you prefer, summer or
winter?"
"I've no preference," replied Mr.
Growcher. "It is equally depressing
to me whether I put in a large por-
tion of my time reading about the
hottest day ever, or the coldest day
ever."
Doubtful Aid
"My barber is a Frenchman. Every
day while he's shaving me he gives
me a little lesson in French."
"Fine. But don't you find it rather
difficult to make replies?"
"Yes, to a certain extent, but the
lather that gets into my mouth seems
to help my accent."
Carefully Proportioned.
"How were your crops this year?"
"Jes' about right," replied Farmer
Corntossel; "not big enough to mean
much work or risk an' at the same
time sufficient to make the summer
boarders think that they was livin'
on a sure-enough farm."

Important Russian Industry.
The production of wood pitch and
tar is a highly important industry of
the timber districts of Russia. A
large quantity of such substances is
not only used for^home consumption
in Russia, but is also exported to for-
eign markets. England alone takes
over 100,000 barrels yearly of Russian
pitch and tar. In normal times pitch
is exported chiefly to England from
Archangel, where it is one of the prin-
cipal articles of trade, while turpen-
tine has been shipped to Germany
from the Baltic ports and overland.
In recent years in western Russia, es-
pecially near the Vistula river, large
quantities of pitch and turpentine have
been distilled from the stumps left
after the clearance of woods, this hav-
ing been in great demand in Germany
on account of its good quality and low
price. Up to the present time the op-
erating methods employed in this in-
dustry have been, for the most part,
of a primitive character, and carried
on in small establishments, where the
owner is at the same time workman
and salesman.
Really Doesn't Matter.
"I see you at the theater quite often
with Mr. Dubson. Do you enjoy his
society, my dear?"
"Oh," replied the debutante, frankly,
"when I'm absorbed in a play I would
as soon be sitting beside Mr. Dubson
as anybody else."
Troubles In Store.
"Jimway seems to be an easy-going
sort of fellow."
"Well, he won't be much longer."
"What happened to him?"

tor car."

FISH SCALES ONCE VALUABLE
Greatly in Demand in Days Gone By
as Necessary Part of Im-
portant industry.
Among unconsidered trifles may be
Included the scales of tish. Of value
and utility to the owner during Its so-
journ in the vasty deep, the scales are
ignored after capture as good only
for the manure heap. But it was not
ever thus. In days gone by fish
scales possessed a real value, notably
those of roach, bleak, dace and white-
bait. Older writers tell us how the
scales of these fishes were collected
and used in the manufacture of neck-
laces, earrings and such-like orna-
ments. The Thames fishermen used
to catch the fish, take off the scales,
and throw the body back into the
river.
A pigment was obtained by treating
the scales in a certain fashion, white-
bait being the most popular fish used
for the purpose. So great, formerly,
was the demand at times that the
price of a quart of fish scales varied
from one to five guineas. This treat-
ment of fish scales for making small
personal adornments is attributed to
the French. A Parisian artist one
winter, it is said, used thirty hamper-
fuls of bleak scales in the course of
manufacture. Today, however, the in-
dustry is practically extinct.—L.ondoD

CAUSES OF SNAPPING NERVES
Hard Mental Work Brings Stress on
Brain Centers—Many Forms
of Reaction.
"Modern man is a top-heavy being,
fc'hose brain is disproportionately su-
perior to his other organs," remarks
the New York Medical Journal in a
discussion of the war from the psy-
chologic standpoint. "This is an age
of hard mental work, which brings
stress on the highest and most recent-
ly-developed brain centers; it was in-
evitable that something should snap,
and something has snapped; there is
a temporary reassertion of primitive
human impulses. In America, reac-
tion was taking milder forms; the au-
tomobile, the basebalL diamond, the
gridiron, relieved the tension, parti-
cularly the dancing mania which swept
over us like an obsession. Dancing is
the most primitive form of reaction
and tend3 quickly to re-establish equi-
librium.
"Probably the man does not want
peace and tranquility, which are too
close to ennui, his greatest dread.
Professor James was dreadfully bored
by a visit to Chautauqua, with ice
cream soda as Its utmost offerings
and its 'atrocious harmlessness.' He
knew man wanted something with
more zest and adventure.
"Alcohol and tobacco relieve In an
artificial way the tension upon the
brain by slightly paralyzing temporar-
ily the higher and more recently de-
veloped brain centers. Were the use
of these drugs suddenly checked no
student"* of psychology or of history
could doubt that there would be an
immediate increase of social irritabil-
ity, tending to instability and social
upheavals."
Simple Barometer.
Directions for converting a burned-
out incandescent light bulb into a bar-
ometer that will foretell changes in
the weather with remarkable success
are given in the Youth s Companion.
Place a discarded bulb under water in
a deep basin, and after protecting the
hands against danger from broken
glass, break off the pointed bit of
glass at the very end of the bulb with
a pair of pliers. As soon as an open-
ing is made in the glass, the bulb will
fill with water, which rushes in to
take the place of the vacuum. Tie
a cord or stout string about the neck
of the bulb and hang it on a hook or
nail. If the weather is to be fine no
water will drop from the hole at the
bottom of the bulb. When the water
begins to bulge out of the opening un-
til drops fall from the bulb you may
expect a change in the weather. At-
mospheric pressure governs the ac-
tion of this simple barometer. When
the pressure increases—a sign of fair
weather—it pushes the water back
from the mouth of the bulb, and no
drop can form; when it falls, the wa-
ter expands through the opening until
a few drops fall. As lower pressure
nearly always precedes a change of
weather, a drip from the bulb usually
indicates a coming storm.

TAKES SHOT AT EARLY RISERS
view York Newspaper Refuses to See
Any Virtue In Leaving Comfort-
able Bed, Say at Daylight.
In the whole string of the virtues,
major or minor, cardinal or otherwise,
there is not one about which the pos-
sessors are so conceited as the early-
rising habit. Persons who have this
habit are, no doubt, entitled to some
little credit; but no degree of self-mor-
tiflcation could justify the airs of vir-
tue which people who turn out of bed
earlier than their fellows give them-
selves.
Nobody was ever ten minutes in the
society of a confirmed early riser with-
out being made aware of the fact and,
directly or indirectly, snubbed for not
being one himself.
Now, is early rising such a virtue?
Certainly early risers get the worm.
They are welcome to it; who wants
worms?
Then they gain so many hours over
us who stay in bed; In proof of which
they perhaps point out that Scott's
novels were written before breakfast.
Very good; let them produce their
Waverly novels; meanwhile we re-
main skeptical as to the reality of this

On Spsaking English.
It should be a point of science with
those who can speak Kngiish perfectly
to do so in all their associations with
newcomers. A foreigner who is trying
to better his knowledge of the language
will be grateful for the opportunity to
hear clear, careful and correct speech
and each conversation is a iesson. The
best Kngiish of America is as good as
any English, but the tongue is greatly
exposed here to the corruption which
comes from imperfect assimilation. It
is the more important for the majority
to whom Kngiish is the mother tongue
to do their best to keep it in its purity.
Incidentally in trying to help foreign-
ers to acquire a good accent they will
greatly better their own speech.—

New Profession for Women.
Why may college women not estab-
lish bookstores in their own cities
and towns in all parts of the country?
Such stores would meet the need for
a calling, and should yield a fair in-
come. The wares are familiar to
these women, wbo have at least a
cultivated interest in them. Periodi-
cals, music, photographs and other
art products could be added to the
stock, and the desire for social serv-
ice could be met naturally by making
the store a center where people could
meet, where they could examine books
and periodicals while waiting, and
where public opinion could be formed.
The store might also sell tickets for
concerts and lectures; and the right
woman could exercise a large in-
fluence in directing the public taste
in these matters.
It is clear that such enterprises, as
in the case of the librarians 30 years
ago and of the more recent social
workers, would have not only to fur-
nish what the public needs, but would
also have to educate the public to
want what it needs. This would re-
quire skill and technical knowledge,
exactly as in the case of the libraries
and the social service movement, and
special schools would have to be de-
veloped to meet this need.—Atlantic
Monthly.
Came Handy in His Line.
"There is nothing like sleep," re-
marked a chance acquaintance to the
newspaper man as he sized up the
belated sleepers in a New York sub-
way car in the wee hours of the morn-
ing. "All my life I have done what-
ever has been in my power to help the
cause of sleep in the human race.
Whenever I have heard that a doctor
is counseling his patients to sleep
longer, I have made a point of writing
him a letter of congratulation. And 1
do not mind saying that I myself have
done a bit to persuade people that
sleep is the greatest blessing to man-
kind." "The perfect sleeper," ob-
served the newspaper man, "is he who
by rigid and constant practice has
brought his power of sleep to such a
stage that he does not awake even
when a dynamite bomb is set off in his
room." The chance acquaintance
leaned back in in his seat with rapt
expression, a3 if contemplating a beau-
tiful visie*i. "And what makes you
take such an interest in the slumbers
of the human race?" was asked. "I
am a burglar," he replied. "But just
because one of my fellow men did not
reach the stage of somnolent perfec-
tion I had to abandon my trade for
some years."

Relics of Cliff Dweilers.
Recently discovery was made by
forest rangers of an unexplored ruin
of the ancient cliff dwellers in the
Mesa Verde park, and subsequent de-
velopments have proved that it is both
extensive and interesting. A long
ladder was constructed and swung
over the face of the cliff at a height
of 600 feet from the bottom of the
canyon. The ruins contained 25 rooms,
but no kiva, or large ceremonial cham-
ber, such as is usually found in simi-
lar ruins. The rangers in a brief and
cursory exploration of the ruins found
In plain sight ten stone axes, fourteen
large stone jars, each eighteen inches
high and three feet, six inchcs in cir-
cumference, two small jars, two parts
of woven .baskets, one wooden slab
five inches wide, twelve inches long
and one-half inch thick, curved up at
the sides; several pieces of yucca
rope, one piece spliced with sinew,
one piece of woven yucca fiber and
several human bones.
Long-Felt Want.
"I want a distinctive horn for my
car!"
'Yes?"
"Something out of the ordinary or it
won't do."
"We have just what you are looking
for. We are reformers, sir, and be-
lieve the public ear has been too long
assailed by raucous sounds. The horn
we are selling has so sweet a note
tnat even pedestrians like to hear it. *
Of Course Not.
"That doctor claims to have discov*
ered an entirely new disease."
"I hope he won't publish the syrup*
toms of it."
"Why not?"
"People cannot, have it if the/ do
not know the symptoms, can they?"
Efficacy of Uproar.
The Hon. Bray Lowder makes a
specialty of arguing with any man
with a weak voice who says he does
not know anything about the subject
introduced by the honorable. The
statesman demands in a loud tone to
know exactly what it is that the other
does not know about it, why he does
not know it and how he knows he
does not know it. In an argument it
a person can make up in noise what
he lacks in sense be does not need
any facts and figures. So it natural
ly follows that Mr. Lowder very soon
gets his weak voice opponent all
twisted up in a knot.—Kansas City
Star.
