“ You did not payivery olsse attenficn to the sermon, I fear, this merging " “ 0'1 ! yea, I did, mamma." “ Well, what did the minister say 1" “He said the picnic would start at ten o’clock on Thursday morning." In the Village of Pittenween in Scotland, about fifty years ago, there was made and exhibited by Mr. Smith, a clock and watch- maker of that place, an automatioai clock which, from the description given of it at that time, appears to have s uaied anything oi the kind ever produced. t comprehend: ed a very striking illustration of the music. al and religious character of the people of Scotland. 'l'he case, which was of the finest mahogany, was seven ieet high, with fluted columns upon each side. The upper part of the clock was ornamented with carving, iret work and gliding, with a golden bird having its wings extended standing in the centre. The case contained a large eight- day musical clock, with three dial plates and a chime of eixteen bells. The whole clock was divided into five difl'erent parts, each of which had its own particular weight. The first was the going part ; the second kept a small musical band in motion. The band played a favorite tune evor once be- fore striking the hour. The third part struck the hour; the fourth moved aiarge musical band, containing eight celebrated Scotch tunes, one oi which played every three hours, with great rxactness. The front dial plate or face, which was about eighteen inches in diameter, had an arch which showed the hours, minutes and sec- onds, with the name and date of the month, without variation during the entire year, even on the 28*.h of February. The clock turned out all the odd days in one night and brought out the let of March on the follow- ing morning. In the plate there were also two small hands, one of which discovered the day of the week. When Sunday came there appeared the words : “ Remember Sunday," and at 12 o’clock the music stop- ped playing until 12 o'clock on Sunday night. The music then began again and continued until the next Saturday night. On the right hand was another dial plate eight inches wide, with an arch. It con- tained a hand that pointed to the name of the tune the clock played. The dial plate on the left was the same size as the one on the right. It represented the front of a house with a door in the middle. At each side at the door stood a sentinel. with his arms, in the livery of the city guard of E lin- hurgh, painted on brass. In the inside of the centre of the door was seen the macer or clerk of the lords of the council. dressed in his robes with his mace in his right hand. As seen as the clock began to play he took ofl his hot with his right hand and walked past the deer. ioiiowed by fifteen ierds in procession. The figures were painted on thin brace and very much resembled life. All this was buta part of this wonderful eight-day clock. Eflome Famous Time-Keepers und'i'kelr History. Many years ago two clocks of great in- genuity and elegant workmanship were made in London and presented to the Em- peror oi Caina by the East India Company, a wealthy organization engaged in com- merce. Each clock was made in the form of a chariot, in which was placed the figure eia lady leaning her right hand upon a part of the chariot, and under it was the clock of curious workmanship. It was smaller than a silver twentyrfive cent piece, would repeat and strike the hours and Would go for eight days. Upon the finger of the lady sits a bird, finely modeled, set with diamonds and rubles, with: its tiny wings oxtenaod m a flying posture. By touching a (1 auto d button the bird would actually flutter for atime. The body of the bird, although it contained a part of the wheels that gave motion to the clock, was not more than one- sixteenth oi an inch in size. The lady held in her left hand a gold tube, not much thicker than a large pin, on the top of which was a small round box to which was fixed a circular movement set with diamonds and not much larger than a ten cont pie cc. Over the lady’s head was supported by asmall fluted pillar, a double umbrella. The pillar was no larger than a quill. Under the largest umbrella a bell wan fixed at a considerable distance from the clock with which it seemed to have no connection; but in reality commu- nication was secretly conveyed to a hammer that regularly struck the hour, and repeat. ing the same at pleasure by the touching of a diamond button fixed to the clock be- low. At the feet of the lady wasagold dog, and before it, from the point of the chariot, was two birds fixed on spiral winds, the wings and feathers of which were set with jewels of various colon, and appeared as if flying away with the chariot. From another secret motion the chariot was made to run in a straight, circular. or indeed in any direction. Above the umbrella were flowers and ornaments of precious stones, and it terminated with a flying dragon, or- namented in a similar manner. The whole clock was made of gold, most; delicately ex- ecuted and embellished with rubies and pearls. A werderful place of meehanflsm known as the Clepsya‘m, or water clock, was once upon a time presented by a Turk of high rank to Charlemagne. In the dials of the clack were fiwelvo dear: opening at the hours which they represented. and little balls equaling the heart; In number appear- ed and struck the time upon a brazen bell. The doors continued open until noon, when twelve knights, mounted on horseback, ls- sned forth, one from each door, and after parading around the dial of the clock shut themselves in again. In thefitower of the Tewn Home In the City of Heidelberg, Germany, there existed many years age a. clack so constructed that when the hours struck the figure of an old man pulled off his hat, a. cook crewed and clapped his wlngs, and bands of seidiers appeared and fought wlth each ether. This curieua place of werkmanahip we! burned In the year 1693, together with the castle Ind town. In olden times there was a remarkable clock in the cathedral at London. Every hour two horsemen came out of the clock to encounter each other, a door flow epen dis- closing the Virgin Mary on a throne, with Christ in her arms, people are gathered around presenting gifts, and two trumpet on are sounding their horns. This clock also showed the month, day of the month and all of the festival: and holidays of the yegr. _ 8103188 01" WONDERFUL ELO0KS.

Wlth a firm determination to press en to the ntmeet llmlt of thelr strength, the men continued their journey, and at length, mere dead than alive, they emerged from the valley and began the ascent of the mountains. Th‘1 delay came very near being fatal to ellooucemed. One horle died in the her- nsu, and Outer was prentreted IO com- pletely that for a. time his life was deu- rekad of.

This, then, was in the vicinity of the far- ismed Gunsight placer-s. and nnether day's investigation brought them upon the very ground where nearly forty years age the mines had been staked out.

With the education of women and the broadening of their opportunities in every way their destinies have broadened also. A woman is still, perhaps, expected first to marry. and it is best for her that she should provided her marriage can be a happy and suitable one. But if from her own choice, or a. necessity arising from a lack of apprecia- tion on the port oi the other and more stupid sex, she remains at the end of her days what someone calls an “ unclaimed blaming,” she is no longer considered, from this circum- stance alone. a. failure and an unhsppy creature. She is no longer doomed to a [lie of dependence In the house of another, for a. score of vocations are open to her, in any one of which she may win a livelihood or even competence. Consequently she com- mends respect, and, far from being a. subject of contempt or pity, she is more likely the object of open or secret envy on the pert of mest of her married acquaintances. And so it has come about that the typical old maid of former times has passed away, and in the literature of to-day we find new types conforming to thenew facts of the case and quite dlfierent from the old. The modern old maid is not angular and forbidding In ap- pearance, but plump and pleasing. She is net motels and ill-tempered, but jelly and good-natured to an extent that makes her the best of company. As she has never had the absorbing cares that come with marriage, and has no family of sons and daughters growing up about her to remind her of the flight of years, she has naturally forgotten to grow old, and young people regard her as one of themselves when good times are be- ing planned;; while in the matter of lovers and love making she has had that experi- ence which makes her simply invaluable as confidante and adviser, and she is the re- pository of all the secrets offi this sort which exist within the range of her acquaintance. She dresses in exquisite taste, she pets 3. pug dog or a white cat, a golden beetle, or whatever animal fashion may dictate ; is idolized by the family ; especially her young nephews ; has hosts of admirers, but is dis- cretion and propriety personified ; is the guiding spirit in orphan asylnms, hospital fairs, associated charity matters, and other good works, and, in short, lives out to the end of her days a happy, useful, well-round- ed existence. “ Oh, yea, and I e’peee this butter’s too geed fer me, eh?
