Hew to Clean a Clock. fine eight day cuckoo clock stood in one corner of the kitchen, inside the case of which Jemmy kept his single barreled gun? a good one it was, and al ways kept ready loaded. "I like to have things ready and handyiike.*' he was wont to remark; "you never know when they may be near"?tlie birds he meant. There was no gun license needed in those days, only a game certificate. The things that did come when Jemmy was fjbout seldom went away again. The clock was a good one, but the bird had not shouted properly for some time; one day he would tune up all right and the next he was mute. Mother said she really must have it cleaned, but she never could make up her mind to let it go out of the house. One day?tin? very day when this really was going to be done?a boy came rushing from the farmyard into the kitchen, where Jemmy was having his snack of lunch alone, to tell him, "Some thing had come, and fee'd best be quick^ for ?* was on the move like." Jemmy opened the clock case and hnrrjedly Caught tip the gtra, as lie had done scores of times before, but not with the same result. In the haste of the moment he torched od e of tfce'weignfs.

The mother was upstairs when she heard the report; her first thoughts were for Jemmy. "Jem, my hoy, what have you done?" she cxip?? : For a moment he looked speechless ai the wreck; then he shouted back. "All right, mother; I've only cleaned the^clock."?Cornhill Mag : azme. A Carious Northern Legend. On the coast of Kamchatka there is an island known as "The Island of Talk fng Dogs.'* The curious story connected nith this little spot of land, and the one jrhich gives it the name it bears is this, according to an odd Asiatic legend: The first inhabitants of the far north did not employ dogs, but drew their walrus rib sleds themselves. After ages had elapsed men made an attempt to use the dogs of that region?which, by the way, talked just as men d??as beasts of burden. The talking dogs, however, argued the case with their would be masters and were not" long in proving that they had enough to do to catch game for themselves and the childreu of m?n. But the men soon learned the use of the bow and the spear,, thus ruining the - occupation of the talking dogs. Again an attempt was made to harness them to sledges, but the talking canines rehelled^nd alls warn out to the.islaad, afterward known byihe-title given in the opening. Here game was scarce and the dogs soon turned cannibals, and by the end of the first winter there were only seven left. . Some human Kamchatkans volun teered to row out to the island and bring off the remnant of the dog colony. But the-dogs refused to^leave their barren island, each earnestly asking: "What people are you? We have never seen y-ou before." For this.untruth Chami, the dog god, took their voices from, them, and until this day they have been the dumb servants of man.?St. Louis Republic._ The Tomb of Eve. The Arabs claim that Eve's tomb is at 1 Jiddah, the seaport of Mecca. The tem ple, with a palm tree growing out of a crack in the rock roof, which is of itself one of the wonders of the orient, is sup posed to be built directly over the last resting place of the first woman. Ac .cording to^ Arab tradition Eve meas-" xired over 200 feet in height, which, un- j likely as it may seemrstrai^ry^com cides with an account of our first par ents written,by a member of the French academy, who also claimed a height of over 200 feet for both of the tenants of the garden of Eden. Eve's tomb, which isa burying ground that is surrounded by a high wall, the gate to which has not bee.* opened for a single interment for c er*. 1#00 years, is the shrine of thousands of devoted Ieh maelites, who make, a pilgrimage to the spot once every seven years. Once each year, on June 3? which is, according to Arabian legends the anniversary of the death of Abel, the doors to the tomb of our first mother remain open all night, no odds what Brocantions are taken to, keep them closed. Terrible cries of an guish are said to emit fiten the tomb, as though the memory of the first known tragedystill haunted the remains which blind superstition believe to 1? deposited there.^-^hiladelphia Press. The Division of Time. At the poles, where all meridians con verge, there can be no natural standard time, for it is every hour of tike day at once; but the regulation of time at these singular points has not yet become a burning question. Were the system of time reckoning recommended by the prime meridian conference carried out in its entirety, the minutes indicated on all well regulated clock dials through out tbe world would be the- same, at a given instant, but^the hours would,-; dif fer at each 15 degs. of longitude "hysteps ' of one, twenty-four standards encircling the globe. Thus, for example, at twenty five minutes past noon of the prime (or rather the zero) meridian, clocks 90 degs. E. would show twenty-five minutes past 6 p. m. (18h. 25m.): those 90 degs. W., twenty-five minutes past G a. in. (6h. 25m.), and those at ISO degs., twenty five minutes past midnight. The zero meridian adopted by the prime meridian conference is that of Greenwich, and defluite time stand ards based on hourly intervals from this starting line have been used since 1883 on the railways of 3$orth America. The continent is divided into strips of 15 degs. iu width, in each of which a sep arate time standard prevails from the Gulf of Mexico to Hudson bay. Atlan tic time in the eastern province of Can ada and in Newfoundland shows 8 a. m. at Greenwich noon; eastern time in the Atlantic states of the Union marks 7 a. m. at the same moment, while cen trai, mountain and Pacific time indicate respectively 6, 5 and 4 a. m. The merid ians which set the clocks across America are those of 60, 75, 90,105 and 120 degs. W.?London Nature. Commotions Produced by Electricity. Many effects have been attributed to electrical commotion?, but for some of these it would be hazardous to vouch. There are wells and springs which are thrown into a state of apparent ebulli tion on the approach of a storm. Fount ains aro said to pour out copious streams, even in times of drought, when Jupiter "media nimborum in nocte, corusea ful mina malirur dextra." Subterranean thunders have occasionally been heard preparatory to v.n aerial eruption. The sea has cast up volumes of water, as if volcanoes were exploding below. Tbe ?round has burst open, and floods of water have gushed forth from the sides of hills or from fissures in the rocks. Taking another class of effects, cm-es have l>een performed by lightning: gouty men have been enabled to walk freely; epileptic persons have l>een healed: amaurosis has been removed and rheu matism dispelled by a flash. But one dare not look too closely into the sub ject of medical electricity, nor venturo to recommend any one to tempt light ning in the hope of experiencing its cur ative powers, for its action is arbitrary and of tener than not hurtful.

TALKS WITH A BRUSH *N ECCENTRIC OLD EVANGELIST OF WESTCHE?^TER, . Y. Winter and Sommer He Wanders Along the Roads Painting Scriptare Texts rn Bowlders?Nothing Deters Him?Pas sive When Violence Is Used. Who is the mysterious paint brash evangelist of Westehester county? Up and down the beautiful hills and along the rugged, rocky roads of Westchester for mile after mile his work can be seen. The wayfarer cannot escape it At every fresh turn in the road the painted words of warning confront him. ?ven the most ungodly sinner in all New York, after walking a mile from the little village of White Plains, would think he was surely on the rocky road to the New Jerusalem. Up in Westchester they call the mys terious evangelist the "Scripture Sling er," and they say "he slings it powerful thick.** So he does, and with discrimi nation rare, in paint of the hue of heav en's own blue, mixed in oil. All along those rocky roads the fences are made of huge bowlders, out of which rough walls are made, separat ing the pastures and bounding the road sides. Besides there are still other bowlders jutting out of the soil along the roadway. On these, and on the stone fences, the mysterious evangelist unfolds his warnings. He is a little man, but energetic. He is a silent man, except with his brush, made out of hairs plucked from the necks of oxen. With it he speaks. His only name is "George." He marches, a Salvation Army of one man, carrying a bugle to announce his coming. His sandy mustache bristles, and the lines of his face show sixty years. There hangs upon his head an Old straw hat, summer and winter, and on the hat is a broad ribbon, bearing the legend, "Jesus is mighty to save." A cane, carved with innumerable inscrip tions, helps him over the hills as he marches on, carrying the battered hand bag in which repose his restless brush, his pot of paint, his Bible and other little things, such as a comb and cake of soap, through the use of which he keeps him self only a seminomadi. They say there is no vanity in him, nor any glass with a quicksilver back in that battered bag As he marches he spies a rock, big and brown, half hidden behind a clump of weeds, and on which he left no mes sage when last along that way. In a moment the weeds are uprooted, ana kneeling by the rock he paints, letter by letter, "O-b-e-y t-h-e L-o-r-d." Then he marches on reading the Bible. On a smooth worn bowlder in the stone fence, he prints, "Repent! Believe! And sin no more." Across the road he leaves the warning, "You must repent or go to hell." A little farther on he kneels again, and under his brush grow the words, "The wages for sinners is hell fire." There are painted 'words, though along the roads more worldly than iJLe ones he leave there. One of them says. "Spend your Sundays at Manhattan beach." On finding this it is said Le bowed hi3 head a moment. Then in a deeper shade of blue than usual, mixed on the spot, he painted right alongside the words, "Where will you spend eternity?" Many of the farmers up in Westchester take summer boarders, and on a big tree in the front yard each of them nails a sign which reads: "Pleasant summer home. Board by the day or week " Across the road from such as these the paint brush says, "Think of that beauti ful home ?o?v?.w So the strange evangelist goes on. fighting the world with blue paint, meas ure for measure, and covering the sur plus space with admonition, exhortation and advice. To him all things are of the world worldly, and therefore he knows naught of politics. This strange man sleeps by the road side, in a stable or where he may, and for months eats only what is given him. Money is nothing to him. For a little while each year he works on the Sound view stock ?ann, owned by William A. Sammis, and it is then he pulls the hair from the necks of oxen and makes his stock of brushes. His paint is given him and he mixes it him self. He has been told tostopthe task of covering the rocks of Westchester with blue paint, but he keeps on. By his ac tion he says, "Shall a man not make his fellow man reflect?" Township trustees threaten and re solve in vain. Tha mottoes multiply. Assaults do not terrify him. Once he was met by two men near the West chester fair grounds and commanded to stop painting a sentence he had begun. He turned his back to "them and kept on without Jreply. When he had finished he began a newI sentence. Then the men rushed at him and strack him down senseless with clubs. The unfinished sentence read: "Forgive thine**? ?New York Advertiser.
