ANCIENT CLOCKS.
Curiosities In the Museum of the
Tov/n of Schramberg.
In the town of Schramberg, In the
Black Forest district of Wtirttemberg.
(terinnny, where one of the chief In
lustrles Is clock making, there Is nn
Interesting museum of timepieces. The
?ollecton displays the gri dual develop
ment lu the making of clocks for many
centuries.
Among the curiosities are many of
great historical value. There Is an
alarm clock constructed in the year
1080 for the use of travelers. In form
it resembles n lantern, and the Interior
Is designed to hold a lighted caudle.
The candle Is slowly pushed forward
by a spring, which also controls the
mechanism of the clock. A little pair
of shears clip the wick of the candle
automatically every minute to regulate
Its light. The lantern Is luclosod with
movable slides, bo that the sleeper Is
not at first disturbed by the presence
of light.
The alarm Is set by Inserting a peg
In the second dial plate. When the
required hour arrives the alarm Is
sounded, and at the same time the
movable slides fall, flooding the room
with light.
Among the curiosities Is a Japanese
saw clock. The clock Itself produces
the motive power by descending a
saw formed strip of metal, the teeth of
which operate the wheel of the clock
work. In nuothcr Japanese clock the
hand Is attached to a weight, which
sinks once lu twenty-four hours. The
time Is Indicated by a hand on the
perpendicular scale.

Persons prosaically concerned with
the present perhaps lack sympathy
with those genealogists whose souls
are obsessed with a worship of an
cestry. A number of these unro gener
ates found uniusruieut In the remarks
of two clubwomen with a long line of
forefathers. The two women wero
louslns. They were discussing a new
acquaintance.
"By the way." said one, "what did
Mr. Blank mean by saying he Is re
lated to us? How Is be related to us?
Is It a near relationship?"
"Oh, yes." answered the other In
deadly seriousness; "we are both de
scended from the Plantagenets."
Several heatheu near by actually
snickered, but the daughters of the
Plantagenets couldn't Fee anything to
laugh at.? New York Times.
Why Toast Is Popular.
The Increasing popularity of toast,
says the Loudon Ijiucet, Is a somewhat
interesting fact In that It possibly Indi
cates that, after all. the public resents
the Insipidity of modern bread. Roller
milling as now practiced, which Is alto
gether different from the old method
)f grinding wheat between stones,
leads to the elimination of the germ of
tho wheat. The peculiar nutty flavor
of the old fashioned loaf was due per
haps to the retention of this germ.

"Yas, sah."

ITCHING ECZEMA ?
FIFTY-FIVE YEARS
Suffered Torments from Birth ?
Boils Formed as Big as Walnuts
?In Frightful Condition and Could
Hardly Work? Tried All Kinds of
Remedies to No Avail? At Last
WHOLLY CURED IN 8
MONTHS By CUTICURA
"I had an itching, tormenting eczema
ovor since I came Into the world, and I
am now a man fifty-five years old. I
triod all kinds of mediclnre I heard of,
but found no relief. I was truly in a
frightful condition. At last my blood
was so bad that I broke out all over
with rod and white boils, which kept
growing until they were as big as wal
nuts, causing groat pain and misery. I
thought they would take the skin off
my whole body, but I kept from scratch
ing as well as I could. I was so nin
down that I could hardly do my work.
Mr. Nelson R. Burnett recommended
the use of Cuticura Remedies, telling
mo he was confident they would benefit
and, in time, cure mo. I used the Cuti
cura Soap, Ointment, Resolvent, and
Pills for about eight months, and I can
truthfully say I am cured. I cordially
recommend Cuticura Remedies to all
who are afflicted the samo as I was, be
lieving that, if they will uso them
according to directions, they will find
them all they ore represented to be.
Any one doubting the truth of the above
can write to Mr. Burnett, who will cheer
fully vouch for 'my statements.

Corners, Tipton, la., Aug. 17, 1007."
" I cheerfully endorse the above tes
timonial. It is the truth. I know Mr.
Bordwell and know tho condition ho
was in. He never tires of praising the
Cuticura Remedios.
