The Duke's "Thirteen Clock." Westminster tiaaire. An ingenious time-keeping arrange- ment exists, which was designed by that famous Duke of Bridgewater, who 4 laced South Lancashire with canals, and died a hundred years ago. '+ The duke. was a great stickler for punct- uality, and he was annoyed that the workmen oun his estate at Worsley did not return to work after dinner as promptly as they left off when the clock struck twelve. When he remon- strated he was told that while the workmen always heard the clock strike twelve, they often failed to hear the single stroke of one. The Duke of Bridgewater quickly found a remedy for this difficulty. He had a clock made that would strike thirteen times an hour after noon, and that clock proclaims one o'clock with a baker's dozen of sonorous strokes to this day. The "thirteen clock" is one of the curiosities of Worsley Hall, "Woman's Vocation Four K's."

Some ladies ware once talking to the keiser on the position of women in © y, and thé emperor declared that he accepted his wife's opinion in such matters. "Shall 1 tell you what she sometimes says ?"' ecaid he. "She tells me that woman's vocation is no- thing but for k's." The ladies were Americans and did not under- stand, and the emperor explained that the four k's stood for kinder kirche, Quite The Thing.
