Tho Faeo of tho Clock.
When the first dock, resembling
those in use today, was made by
Henry Vick in 1370 for Charles V.
of Fiance, surnamed the Wise, the
king fonnd fault with the Roman
numeral IV. He said it should be
IIII. Vick ventured to suggest that
the king was mistaken, whereupon
Charles roared: "I am never wrong!
Take the clock away and correct the
mistake at once on pain of my displeasure."
The figure was altered
to IIII and has so remained ever
since.

ly as he stood over him, shaking his
finger at him as though warning
trim to be careful, "that this account
is overdue. Remember that a
bill of exchange or bill of acceptance
may become overdue, but a tradesman's
account never. A gentleman

Your Nerve History.
You are unconsciously writing a
history in your nerves, and tnis a
History you cannot wipe out at will, 1
is you may wipe out a scrawl on a 2
blackboard. It endures, and it reproduces
itself. The thoughts of
four mind, the purposes and im- pulses
of ypur heart, your passions,
four affections, your inspirations
md your beliefs stamp themselves 1
ndellbly on your nervous system. *
fhey cut channels of habit. They
eact on your soul continually lor
food or evil. They shape your char- p
icter, and your character is what
rou are, what you will be always.?
Philip S. Moxom, D. D., in "The
Form of Life."
