Do Not Begin Spring Witlij
Dirty Watch
Do not begin the active season with a
watch that will not keep good time.
The season of summer is too short in
this country to permit of one's being
hampered by an uncertain timepiece.
If your watch is dirty it will not keep
t time correctly until it has been cleaned.
Spring should be the cleaning season
for watches and clocks as well as for
everything else.

inil cotilil not leave the house for rnauy
weeks. One of his cullers was Lewis
Clark, a lumii of short stature, who
iu earlier days li.nl tieeii n playmate of
the "Old Commoner" ami was a uear
neighbor of the Stevens family In their
Peacham home. Vermonters had Just
begun t? weir buffalo coats, and Sir.
Clark arrived at the Stevens home al
most lost in a coat which reached to
the ground. His upturned collar com
pletely covered his cars and face, while
a fur cap completed the disjrulse.
"'Is that you. Lewis?" asked Mr.
Stevens in an Incredulous tone.
"Yes. Thnd." he replied.
"Well, skin > oursclf and sit down."

Sir Samuel Raker In his "Wild
Beasts" says that the p->wer of the
jaws of the crocodile Is tprrlfic. Once
he had the metal of a targe hook, the
thickness of ordinary telegraph wire,
completely beut together, the barbed j
poiut being pressed tightly against the i
sliauk and rendered useless. This com
press Ion was caused by the snap of the
Jaws when seizing a live ditrk which
he had used as a halt, the hook being
fastened beneath one wiug. On on
occasion he found a tish weighing sev
enty pounds bitten clean through as if
divided by a knife. This, again, was
the work of a -.nap from ifle Jaws of a
crocodile M I'aul Bert ouec made

He Earned tb? Hat.
Barty Billiard, who many yean apo
Jived In n small town In uorthern Ter

bond habits, ready wit and remarkable
facility for extempore rhyming. While
he was sitting oue day in the village

peller among a group of Idlers the gen
la I merchant asked him why he woiv
audi a shockingly bad hat. Barty re
piled that he could not nfford a better
one.
yome now," said the merchant,
"make me a rhyme on a bad hat. and 1
will give you the best I have in my
store." Instantly Barty threw the old
one on the floor and began:
Here lies my old hat.
And pray what of that?
It's us good as the rest of my raiment!
It I buy me u better
You'll make me your debtor
And send me to jail for the payment.
The new hat was voted to be fairly
won, and Barty bore It off in triumph,
saying, "It's a poor head that can't
take care of itself."? Boston Herald.
\o Duplicate Chandeliers,
"Did you ever notice," said the ob
serving man, "that every public build
ing has chandeliers unlike those of any
other public building? There are no
duplicates. Toil go Into one church
and you see a handsome chandelier
that it would seem worth while to du
plicate for another church, but you
never find It In another church. You
go Into a big hall, and you'll observe
some stunniug globes and chandelier
fixtures and look for 'em In some other
big hall, but they're not there. I don't
know what principle the makers of
chandeliers go on. whether It Is a mat
ter of pride with them not to Ut out
two buildings alike or whether con
tractors for such buildings Insist on
exclusive designs, but the chandelier
people must employ some remarkably
versatile artists to thiuk up so many
different designs It seems like a waste
of money to make only one of a kind,
hut it Is a pleasure to know that hall
or home may be exclusive in its chan
deliers."
The Concertina.
The threatened revival of the con
certina as a serious musical instrument
in England would be a return to an
old fashion no doubt, but not to a very
Old one, since the concertina dates from
the early part of the last century. Its
Invention was an early indiscretion of
Sir Charles Wheatstone of telegraph
fame, who took out a patent for it in
IS2N, the very year in which some
body in Vienna invented that similar
Instrument, the accordion. The concer
tina was popularized by Sig. ltegondi.
who had come before the public as a
Juvenile prodigy with the guitar. At
one time no London concert was real
ly complete without him and bis con
certina. and he astounded the Germans
with the music he could get out of It.

lustration-. extracts? all pella>ell, with
a whirl and fury that took tbe breath
away. And he did it all with the ut
most ease and got to the end without
turning a hair. Mr. Gladstone took It
all quietly aud did It quietly and left
the house and went home quietly,
probably mentioning to Mrs. Gladstone
as a reason for being rather til ed that
he had been saying a "few words"
that evening. -From Whltty'g "'Parlla
