And hide its dimples in my shining hair.

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

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

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. Three
hundred persons were once struck in
Charleston prison and clean robbed of

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**?

It was a Sunday school class, and the
teacher believed in asking questions to
see how clearly the scholars understood

would be quickly answered when she

a silence until she nodded to the small
boy at her left and said, "You know
