A Dr Johnson Story
Dr Johnson had some ideas on edu
cation especially on that diversion
known as learning a piece by heart
One day Mrs Gastrel set a little girl
to repeat to him Catos soliloquy
which she went through very correct
ly The doctor after a pause asked
tlv child What was to bring Cato
to an end She said it was a knife
No my dear it was not so My
Aunt Polly said it was a knife
Why Aunt Pollys knife may do but
it was a dagger my dear He then
asked her the meaning of bane and
antidote which she was unable to
give Mrs Gastrel said You cannot
expect so young a child to know the
meaning of such words He then
said My dear how many pence are
there in sixpence I cannot tell
sir was the half terrified reply On
this addressing himself to Mrs Gas
ml he said Now my dear lady can
anything be more ridiculous than to
teah a child Catos soliloquy who
does not know how many pence there
are in sixpence

THE FIRST CLOCKS
Ono at Padua That Was a Wontler of
Mechanism
It was we are told in 1309 that the
first clock known to the world was
placed in the tower of San Eustorgio
In Milan
The greatest astonishment and ad
miration were manifested by crowds
who flocked to see the timepiece In
13 14 a clock was installed in the pal
ace of the nobles at Padua This was
a wonder of mechanism indeed for
besides indicating the hours it showed
the course of the sun the revolutions
of the planets the various phases 0
the moon the months and the Cetes
of the year
The period of the evolution from the
clock to the watch was seventy one
years not so very long all things con
sidered and the record of the first
watcli is 13S0 A half century later
an alarm clock matlo its appearance
This we are told was looked upon
by the people of that age as un in
strument prodigieux
The fortunate possessor of this clock
was Andrea Alclato a councilor of
Milan The chroniclers have placed
on record that this clock sounded a
bell at a stated hour and at the same
time a little wax candle was lighted
automatically How this was done we
are not told but it must not be over
looked that until about seventy years
ago we had no means of obtaining a
light other than the tinder box so
that the Milanese must have been cen
turies ahead of us in this respect
Not much progress was made with
the watch until 1740 when the sec
ond hand was added London Globe
TEMPTED HE ATE
A Story of Heinrish Heine and a
Toothsome Lyons Sausage
Returning from a journey to the
south of Kra nee neinrich Heine met a
friend a German violinist in Lyons
who gave him a large sausage that
had been made in Lyons with the
request to deliver it to a mutual ac
quaintance a homeopathic physician
in Paris Heine promised to attend
to the commission and intrusted the
delicacy to the care of his wife who
was traveling with him But as the
postchaise was very slow and he
soon became very hungry on the ad
vice of his wife both tasted of the
sausage which dwindled with every
mile
Arriving at Paris Heine did not
dare to send the remainder to the
physician and yet he wished to keep
his promise So he cut off the thin
nest possible slice Avith his razor
wrapped it in a sheet of vellum paper
and inclosed it in an envelope with
the following note
Dear Doctor From your scientific inves
tigations we learn that the millionth part
of a certain substance brings about the
greatest results I beg therefore your
kind acceptance of the accompanying mil
lionth part of a Lyons sausage which our
friend gave me to deliver to you It
homeopathy is a truth then this little
piece will have the same effect on you a
the whole sausage Your

Old Time English Elections

with an allowance for each day spent

were refunded in one lump sum when
the member returned home at the end
of the pariamentary year Sir F De

The Geese Were Ducks
The following little incident tooli
place awhile ago at a Northeastern
station in Yorkshire
Some geese had strayed on the rail
way and were observed by a traveler
who fearing that they might be ruu
over said to one of the porters on the
platform
Who owns the geese my man
Thems Ducks the porter replied
Again the question was asked with
the same reply Somewhat annoyed
the traveler called the station master
and told him the story stating that he
full well knew the difference between
geese and ducks
The station master laughingly re
plied The man is quite right Those
geese are Ducks They belong to Mr
John Duck the farmer Loudon Tit
