It is not ofterj th.it a v ol!' etory i. told

has its tvn valn :tnd interest:
My wife's youngest binter hrul a pet
Blicr that slie 1i;k1 brought up from a
lamb, and t which she wjis tanch at
tached. One afternoon sho was goinj
down to the siriu for a pitchr cf wa
ter, when she saw a hirge dog, slie
thought, worrying her sheep, upon which
sliM picked up a large stick and struck
the be.ist two or throe strokes with all
her strength, thus compiling him to
drop his prey.
This, however, he did very reluctantly,
turning his head at the same time, ami
showing his teeth with a i;io-,t diabolical
snarl. She saw at once when lie faced
her. by his pricked ears, high cheek
iKines, long, bushy tail arxl gaunt figure,
that her antagonist was a wolf. Nothing
daunted, she again bravely attacked
him, for he seemed determined, in spite
of her valiant opposition, to have her pet
lamb,' which he again att;icked.
She boldly lnat him off tho second
time, following him down the creek,
thrashing him ami calling for aid with
all her might, when, fortunately, one of
her brothers, attracted by her cries, ran
down with tho dogs and his sgun. But
he was too late for a shot, for when the
wolf saw tho reinforcement he Ciami
ered oil with all his speed.
A Rival ot the Famous htranburjj Clock.
The most wonderful clock is on exhi
bition in the jwirochial school building
connected with St. Paul's German Lu
theran church in Janesville, Wis.
The timepiece is divided into four
parts geographical, astronomical, mu
sical and numerical. A little bell strikes
every minute. The first quarter hour
represents childhood; the second, youth;
the third, middle age, and the fourth,
old age. As the clock strikes tho hours
a corresponding nnmkr of apostles make
their appearance, from one to twelve.
Above them stands Jesus blessing them.
The twelve signs of the zodiac are rep
resented. At 6 and 12 o'clock a sexton
rings a bell, an old man kneels in prayer,
the cock crows and the organ is played.
There are four dials on each side of the
clock, showing the years on one side and
the leap years on the other.
At midnight heathen gods make their
appearance, and scenes in the life of
Jesus are represented at noonday. The
four seasons are represented by appro
priate figures, as are the moon's phases.
The clock was built by Mr. Martin, a
millwright, of Schwarzwald Baden, and
is said to exceed in ingenuity any other
clock ever exhibited in the United
States. Jeweler's Weekly.
An Old Kullet.
Dob Lockhart dropped in to renew his
subscription.
"i have something in my inside pocket
which I want to show you," he said, and
after searching for a few seconds Bob
produced the half of a large round leaden
ball.
"I was sawing up a fat light wood log,
and you will see where the saw passed
through the center of the bullet. Well,
I got to thinking afterward how old
this bullet must be. The log was fat
heart pine two feet thick. Evidently
the bullet was shot into the tree when
small or else it could not have pierced o
the center, and the tree was evidently
100 years old when it fell to the ground.
It may have laid there 100 years or more.
You know fat pine never decays. I am
satisfied that old man Ponce de Leon, on
his tour through this country, must have
fired a fancy shot at a skulking savage,
and plugged the tree instead of the In
dian. Yon se it's a round ball, and as
it is so large I judge it to be of Spanish
make."
Bob is quite an antiquarian, you know.

Oil Ponds in the Golf.
Between the mouth of the Mississippi
river and Galveston, ten or fifteen miles
south of Sabine Pass, is a spot in the
Gulf of Mexic which is commonly called
"The Oil Ponds" by the captains of the
email craft which ply in that vicinity.
There is no land within fifteen miles;
but even in the wildest weather the
water at this spot is comparatively calm,
owing to fne thick covering of oil, which
apparently rises from the bed of the Gulf,
which is here about fifteen to eighteen
feet beneath the surface. This strange
refuge is well known to sailors who run
on the small vessels trading between Cal
casieii. Orange, Sabine, Beaumont and
Galveston. When through stress of
weather they fail to make harbor else
where they run for "The Oil Ponds," let
go anchor and ride the gale in safety,
this curious spot furnishing a good illus
tration of the effect of "oil upon a trou
bled sea." St. Louis Republic.
The Silver Dollar "HI."
There is a popular idea prevalent that
the minute letter 'M" to be seen at the
base of the head of Liberty on the face
of the present issue of silver dollars
stands for "Mint," and is an evidence of
the genuineness of the coin bearing it.
This is a mistake. The "M" stands for
Morgan, George T. Morgan, who is tha
originator of the design. Upon the
same side there is another "M," also the
initial of the designer. This is to be
found in the waving locks of the fair
goddess, and is so cleverly concealed in
the lines of the design that it can only
be seen after a long scrutiny. A prom
inent mint official, in speaking of this
other initial, said that he had had it
shown to him scores of times, but could
never find it unassisted. Philadelphia
Record.
No Fondness for Science.
A well known scientist sat in a Chest
nut street hotel watching the throngs
pass by, when a gentleman entered and
laid:
"Mr. Blank, can you give any scien
tific reason why women walk pigeon
toed?" "My dear sir, replied the professor,
in impressive tones, "women and science
have nothing to do with each other."
Philadelphia Press.
Worrying; the F.trvator C ndurtr.
The decoration of elevators has be
come quite an art in some cf the down
town office buildings. One of the pio
neers in this work has tra:;sbrined an
elevator in the New York Life building
into a sort of J.ipanor bow;-r. Ho says
ho has to spend most of his life there,
and believes in softening the n 'peritk-u
of labor with attractive surroundings.
While he easily holds tho lead ia this
sort of finery, others of his kinJ have
done very well. The nabob of one
caboose down town who is always
on the lookout for fancy prints and gew
gaws, and who had rather M retell his
legs and contemplate the luxury of his
apartment than carry passengers, was
presented the other day by a tenant of
the building with one of the fancy cards
inscribed, "You press the button and we
do the rest." lie was so much pleased
with it thai he made it a central decora
tive figure for the rear wall of his eleva
tor, lamb-ring it with rosettes aud a
framework of gilt.
His tenants admired it, commented on
its fitness for such a place, and . praised
his taste in framing it. After it had
been up a day or two it was noticed that
a black line in ink had been drawn under
tho words "tho rest." Another line soon
appeared there as mysteriously as had
the lirst. Then came a third and a
fourth, and then some one further em
phasized the words by drawing a ring of
ink around it. The elevator artist was
in a great stew over it for several da3's.
for the decoration was too handsome to
lose, ami be could not take it down with
out spoiling his wall. At last, with rub
ber and metal eraser, he obliterated the
incriminating word, lines and ring, but
only to the increase of his discomfiture,
for his tenants now read the sign, "You
press the button-and we do nothing."

Selling Strawberries Profit.
"There are tricks in all trades but
ours," said a retail grocer to mo recently.
"You wonder how it is that we are able
to sell strawberries at less than they cost
us and still make money. It is it puzzler
to tho uninitiated, isn't it? But after all
it is simple enough when you know how.
"For instance, 1 go down to the mar
ket and buy a crate of strawberries for
thirty cents a box. Now my trade is
not rich enough to pay mo even thirty
five cents a box, and at less than that 1
make no profit.
"Well, I take those berries and empty
them out of the boxes. Then I take a
nice piece of white paper, which is much
cheaper than strawberries, and drape,
as it were, the box. Then I take the
berries and arrange them very carefully
in such a way that all that are any way
touched with decay go to the bottom and
only the fine, ripe, sound ones are in
sight. By leaving plenty of space
between the berries, except the top layer,
I have no difficulty in filling two of the
draped boxes with the contents of one
of the original, and then they look much
richer and more appetizing and sell
better.
"When this is done, out they go in
front of the store marked twenty cents
a box, and before I know it they are all
sold, netting me a nice little profit. If 1
had tried to sell them in the original
boxes at thirty-five cents I would have
had a good many left on my hands to
spoil.
"Why, some of the bigger dealers in
green groceries and fruits keep a man, at
a good salary, simply to repack goods,
and it pays well." New York Herald.
Too Well Hidden.
Elizabeth Glover, in her book, "Fam
ily Manners," devotes a chapter to de
ploring the New England habit of re
pressing one's feelings on the matters,
nearest at heart, and never allowing
them to find expression in words. She
says:
There was a railroad accident, and a
poor farmer's wife was taken out, bleed
ing and unconscious. The doctor and a
kind woman were working over her
when her husband came in and stood a
moment, looking on in disturbed silence.
His cheeks were drawn in, his eyebrows
lifted, his hands in his pockets.
Presently, with some effort, he cleared
his throat to speak, and as the doctor
looked up he asked, "Ye didn't see anew
tin dipper lyin' round where ye picked
her up, did ye?"
He got no answer from the indignant
doctor, and presently strayed out again
in search of his dipper.
Meanwhile his wife opened her eyes
and at once asked for her husband.
"He's safe," said the doctor shortly. 5he
felt his curt tone, and faint as she was
she divined what it meant. "He's a
dreadful feelin' man," she said, "but he
don't never say much."
Length and Rreadth of London.
The metropolitan area of London ex
tends over some twelve miles from north
to south, and some seventeen miles from
east to west; within this space thirtj--nine
governments so rule the houses,
roads, drains of their three millions and
three-quarters of subjects that for the
last ten years the death rate has been
only 22 J per 1,000, or bnt.l per 1,000 in
excess of that of the whole eountry. In
the seventeenth century it is believed
that the deaths exceeded the births in
London, and the death rate was then
about 40 per 1,000, or more than double
what it is now, and higher by far than
the mortality rates of the unhealthiest
cities of Europe today. London Tit-Bits.
A Family Tiff.
"Perhaps you are not aware that I had
over a dozen proposals of marrige before
I got yours," said Mrs. McDougall stiff
ly, after a little tiff with her lord and
master the other morning.
"And perhaps, madam, you are not
aware that I proposed marriage to near
ly a score of women before I became ac
quainted with you," retorted that gen
tleman haughtily. Exchange.
