The mechanism of the watel is based on phonographic conditions, th< bottom of the case containing a phonographic sensitivo plate wkic'i has received the impression of the human voiot before being inserted in tho watch. The disk has forty-eight concentric croovcs. of which twclro repeat tb hours, twclvo those of the hours aud quarters, aud twelve more t iosc of tht hours aud second and third quarters. I! the hand on the dial shows the time U be 12:15 o'clock, one of the line ncedli points of the mechanism crosses tht corresponding groovo and the disk, which turns simultaneously, calls out th? time, just as the phonographic cylinder.

HOKE* STORIES TOLD IT AROttO BLUBBER HUNTERS. mmamrnrnrnm jlnenUr Effect ot the Moon on A Whale's Eye#?The Orow Usually Humanity's Odds and Ends. STORIES of tho sea always haro a fascination for the landsman, and so it was that a group of Arctic blubber hunters had a lot of interested auditors. ' How would you like to hare eight or tcu thousand dollars on a string?" asked one of tbera, knocking his pipe on the edge of tho stringer and addressing the group of landsman collectively. Well, I've had that much many a time," he went on without waiting for a reply, "and it makes a fellow rather nervous guessing whether ho's going to land his fish or whether he'll get flipped overboard. 1 to l>een to sea now thirtyfour years and I expect I'to struck about as many whales as the next one, but it's pretty oxcitiug business yet. Why, last' season one of our boats struck a big sperm whale and he started down. Our ship had tiro boats and each boat carries 280 fathoms of line. That wlialo took dowtv the. whole five of 'om?1400 fathoms in nil. It began to look as we had lost tho' wholo thing, but ho was too tired, and when ho came up .we feathered into him." C T? You wouldjYU?>oifove that fish?at least spoutingHIStl-?are influenced by tho moon?" said another ol tho group. 'Well, thoy arc. I've seen it time and again, and I'vo othor poople's attention to it, too, I never found any ono olsc who had uoiicod it. Sometime* when you nre at s \ whales aro to bo seen frequently?it may be at tho full moon or at new moon?well, all ntonco they will disappear and you won't seo one for two weeks. Then just as suddenly the water will bo full of them. I've compared notes with other vessels. Maybe tlicy wore sixty miles or more away at tho time and tho whales there would be numerous just nt tho snmo tiiuo they appeared near our vessc'. Oh, you fellows needu't laugh. There is something in it. 'And then I've noticed anothor thing about this same class of fiah. When you' catch them you wJ'l always find tbnt they have tho pu/?\ of the eye tho saine shupc as the moou at that timo. If the moon is full the pupil will be round, and it it is a half or a quarter the sight will be like a crescent." The Cantain stODnod to licrht a frcih pipe and another one of tha whalers spoke up. 'I've had some experience rnysolf," said he, "but two years ago I came the nearest taklug after Jonah that a man ever did. We had made a striko all right and tho whale went down, not very far, but when ho came up ho had his mouth open, and some how or other he came up with ono jaw on the port aad the other on the lea side of cur boat. Surprised? Well, that whale looked very much as if ho was ready to receive compauy, but I wasn't invited, so I made a streak for another boat." "You would be surprisod," said tho first speaker, chnnging the direction of the talk, "what queer mixtures there are in a whaler's crew sometimes. Why I've had lawyers and doctors and any number of young men with a degree of some kind. And once I shipped a fellow that turned out to be a preacher, and I wish I could, get him again, for we got eight whales<that season. I believe he was a masc**. One poor fellow who went overboard ^n a gale, had in his truuk a physician's diploma, and any number of letters with high recommendations, but I guess he had gone wrong some how, and wantedito got out of the way for a while. He, succeeded better than ho intended. I guess they won't think of looking for him at the bottom of the Aictic. "We get lots, of men for a season's cruise that way. If a fellows wants to hide himself for a while I don't know of any place he could do it better than on board a whaler. Nobody would think of looking for such a man in this business, and then they couldn't look much if they wanted to. That kind of a seaman nover makes you any trouble. It's the shiftless follow you pick up here on the wharf that you've got to haudlo pretty roughly betore be learns now to keep a decent tongue in his head." 'On one of my cruises I had a big, black West Indian in the crew," said the first speaker. 4,One day for some reason he jumped overboard. The sea was a little rough and it was quite a whilo before we got the boats lowered, aud wo lost sight cf him. Hut we pulled back a little way and I soon saw him, swimming with all his might, but in the opposite direction from the boat. I yellod to liiiu, and when he saw he was discovered ho made no further effort to get away. And whero he was going is more than I know, for it all happoned in mid ocean. We hauled mm into the boat, and made for the ship. It was fout months before we mado port and yet in all that time, Sandy, for that was his name, never spoke a word. No one on board could get a sound from him. Some times ho wonld lie down on the deck and seem to be asleep and some of tho crew would slip up and stick him with a pin. At first he would twitc'i a little and then would not move at all. We made a bed for him down below and kept hiin away from a knife or othet weapon. You could tell him to take the wheel and he would steer right enough, /nit if you asked him what courso the "ship was making he was silent as the gravo. And when wc made the first port ho went ashore and I never saw him again. But some of the crew said he rognincd his tongue on land and thought he had been 'playing1 us all tho time. But it was a strange case.11-?3aa Francisco Examiner. A Carious Irish TrAdition.^ Ireland is a count?/ rich traditions, and in places every inch of the ground has its queer history and soino quaint storv attached to it. For instance, not far from Belfast there is a romantie old well in a curious hollow of the hills called Hamas gap. The wolt is known as HaroAs well and Is filled at the bottom with white stones, the heather around being covered witt pieces of rags.

The flavor of food baked or boiled in earthenware is far superior to that of vegetable or animal food cooked in the same way in iron vessels, for tho reason that iron is a conductor of heat, while earthenware is a non-conductor; consequently, food cookod in the latter is rarely ever burned, tho degree of heat j not vatying perceptibly during the process of cooking, thus preserving the flavor of what is cooked, as well as uniformity throughout the substanco of the meat, vegetables or grain, until the process of cooking is completed.?Now York World. POTATO BllEAD. There arc many persons who are very fond of bread mado with potatoes, but very few people seem to have the knack of making it. It is very simple, once one gets the hang of it, so to speak, and tho result , is a loaf which will keep fresh much longer than any ordinary bread. For four regular sized loaves of bread take about eight or ten large potatoes, peel thorn very carefully so as to leave spots or eyes, put thorn in water sufflciout to cover thein, with a little salt and boll them until they bogin to break up. Then with a potato-masher crush them, water and all, as finca*. possible. Tlioy should then bo passed thiough a sieve and added to a sponge which has inoanwhilo jbecn rising. Mix this potato pulp and who bread dough thoroughly, set aside to riso for a short time, then mold and put iu pans. The flavor, fineness of grain and general quality of bread are greatly improved by tbis addition, and whilo it involves quite a little additioual work, it is work that pays very well. Tlio bread will remain fresh much lougor nud not a crumb need bo wasted. If vrmqf hn linrno i.i mi ml lmwpvor. thit it is much more likely to mold, if exposed to dampness, after the addition of potato, and mud be carofully watched, as even tho slightest symptom of mold in potato bread makes it uutit to cat.? New York Ledger. _ OUIIE Fon SCAI.US AND HURN3. No accident occurs more frequently in most families than that of scalding or burning. For an accident of this kiud n good reliable domestic re ne ly is needed, that may ba used imrna liatoly before a physician arrives. This rcmody I have found iu so simple a preparation as alum curd. To mako it, take a gill or more of sweet milk, put it in a tlu vessel and placo it on the stove to warm. Add to the milk a lump of alum about tho 8i7,e of a thimble, or larger, according to tho quantity of milk. Stir tho alum nbout till the milk curdles. Skim out the curd and apply it to tho wound ou a soft cloth. Tho curd will stop the pain almost instantly. Dross tho wound at least twice a day, wetting the cloths iu the meantime with the whey as often as they hccouio dry. Mako ftosh alum curd daily and continue to dress the wound till it is completely healed. The remedy has been successfully used in my own family and by my neighbors for sorcral years. It has cured streral cases of severe scalds and burns, healing the wouuds without leaving a scar, which is an important matter. For all the numerous little burns frequently occuring in n family of children, tho alum curd is u panacea, giving immediate comfort. As compared with carron oil, collodion, soda, starch-paste, llour-battcr and many other salves, ointments and liniments used as dressings for burns throughout tho country, the alum curd is by lar the best remedy. A lump of alum should ho kept iu every family medicine closet ready for use whenever accidents occur by burning or scalding, thus saving much paiu and many n deformed hand or seared face so common in country places.?American Agriculturist. snA.soxAiu.it ruDDrtTGS.
