Two bottles were firmly lashed together and fixed In a wooden frame. A quantity of black sand ran from one; bottie into the other tn just half an hour, and when the upper bottle waa empty tbe frame was reversed. Twelve short sticks, marked with notches from one to twelve, were hung upon a string. A hook was placed between the stick bearing the number of notches corre­ sponding to tbe hour last struck <%nd the one to be struck next. 11M sentry announced the time by striking tbe turn on a large gong. . 32 - 1 i There is no comparison between Tailor made and ready made Clothing and the K difference in price is nothing compared p with the difference in wear.

A sure sign of approaching revolt and serious trouble in yonr system is ner­ vousness, sleeplessness or stomach up­ sets. Electric Bitten will quickly dis­ member the troublesome causes. It never fails to tone the stomach, regu­ late theJKidneys and Bowels, stimulate the Liyer and clarify the blood. Run down systems benefit particularly and ail the usual attending aches vanish un­ der its searching and thorough effective­ ness. Electric Bitters is only 60e, and that is returned if it doesn't give per­ fect satisfaction. Guaranteed by Julia A. Story. M<-H**nry. and G. W. Besley, W. McHenry, druggists. A Roond of PlMumn. The philanthropic lady sat in the midst of the McFadden family, expos­ tulating with them In a pained voice on the frequency with which thejr chased "the festive can" around the corner to the nearest liquor saloon. "You ought to provide some kind of wholesome amusement for your fam­ ily," said the philanthropic lady stern­ ly to the abashed McFadden. "You should do something to lighten the burden of living. Every life needs a little sunshine In it" "Oh, missus," spoke up Miss McFad­ den, aged thirteen, eagerly, "we has plenty of fun. There's always a fight or somethin' entertainin* goin' on in the tinimint Why. oney last week a gentleman cut a lady's throat and drug her past our door."--Llpplncott's Maga­ zine.

Tbe Drngflii Lo»l la Ibaea. Sonu* one In Scandinavia unearthed tlie report of tbe examiners on Dr. Ib­ sen's papers at his examination for tbe degree of bachelor. It runs as follows: Norwegian, good; Latin prose, good; Latin essay, fairly good; Latin conver­ sation. moderate; Greek, bad; arithme­ tic. bad; German, very good; French, good; religious knowledge, good; histo­ ry and geography, good; Hebrew, good; geometry, good. General remarks: A young man not to be despised. In spite of many "goods," however, Ibsen was plowed owing to bis deficien­ cies in Greek and arithmetic. He as­ pired in those days to be a pharmaceu­ tical chemist and, failing to satisfy the examiners, had to seek some other open­ ing in life. Good fur Children.

Sunsets in tbe tropics as 1 have wit­ nessed them, although full of rich col­ orings. cannot vie with tbe color har­ monies of the poles. Even the nights of the tropics, full as tbey are of beau­ ty and richness of color, are not com­ parable with those of the arctic night, when tbe moon is of a brilliance incon­ ceivable to southern eyes, and the sun, although hidden during the long night, makes its presence felt by an orange radiance at the southern horizon at noon, and on starlit nights the snow crystals give out a shimmering glow. The tropical blue sea has a charm which the green of tbe south Atlantic lacks entirely.--Frank Wllbert Stokes in Century.

A day or two before the at­ tack tbe child becomes hoarse. This is soon followed by a peculiar rougb cough. Give Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or bard would depart whenever be Joar-j&ven after the rough cough appears, and it will dispel all symptoms of cronp. In this way all anxiety may be avoided. This remedy is used by many thousands of mothers and has never been known to fail. It is, in fact, the only remedy that can always be depended upon and that is pleasant and safe to tale. For sale by all druggists. Job work of all kinds neatly done at this office. A Costly Mistake.
