"At your service, gentlemen." 'You are doubtless acquainted with the Orkney Islands, where the wild fowls breed in the clifta of the rocks. The fishermen fasten a stick at the end of a long rope, which Is well se cured to the brow of tlie cllns, ana then placing one of their number as tride the stick, he is lowered down the precipice In search of the game, ion have most likely heard the account of the man who in striking at the birds with an iron-plated boat staff, as they flew from their holes, cut two of the strands of the rope that suspended him between heaven and earth." "Below him was certain death above him a terrific wall of rock that seemed to reach the sky. He gave the signal for hauling np by striking the repe twice with bis staff. Never aid bis comrades pull the line so lazily. Slow ly .slowly dragged the rope over the edge of the cliff, while the several strands seemed to fly upward with the rapid ity of thought. Every Instant he dread- el that a weak place in the remaining portion would be untwisted, and so certain appeared his doom that he reit that every foot he advansed np the face of the precipice would bat increase the height or bis fall. A sudden pause in the motion struck him with a new fear when the untwisting part of the rope came into the hands of the fisher men above, they at once peiceived his danger and instantly loweced another line. The fowler was rescued fiom his peril, but such was the effect of his terror during the few minutes of his frightful ascension, that his dark brown hair was changed to gray." "Bad enough," said the eaptain,"but not quite the worst in the world. I don't know whether the ehance which a young nevvy of mine run foul of during the first voyage, In the Bay of Biscay wasn't just as bad. We were in a stumpy tub of a 'mafferdite brig,' trying to claw off a lee shore, with a rolling sea and plenty of wind in short sudden puffs. The boy about sixteen- slim-built and tale was an out-and, out lubber, fond of reading and skulk lug bis duty whenever he could; bis mother, my on ly sister, a widow by the way, had made me promise to take care of him, but we were short handed, and he was forced to work his turn. Some of the hands bad goue aloft to shake out a reef in the foretopsail the r'KSlnK was covered with ice it was a January morning well, the boy slip ped, cr was thrown, or blown from the yard his foot caugdt in a bight In some of the running rigging, and he hung by the heels, head downward, from the end of the yard, dipping into the sea at each plunge of the old craft, and hoisted up again, high and dry, every time she came to the wind. I expected every roll to see him jerked from his foothold, and no boat that we had could have lived a minute in that sea. I did not dare to luff, for fear of being taken aback. When I thought of his mother I had a great mind to save him, even if I beached the old tub ; but the point I wanted to weather was close ahead, and the roar of the surf did not sound altogether the thing. We did save him at last. Ignesshis foclings were quite as queer as that of your friend, the fowler, lie had but one pull up, while my nevvy had bet ter than a hundred wjth a cold bath in a frofcty sta, between each pull no thing but an accidental half bitch round his ankle, and head downward all the while' "Horrible, indeed. What did you say to the poor fellow when he was re lieved ?" 'Told him he deserved a starting for being so clumsy when he knew I was short-handed made him swallow some hot coffee and turn in. He never went aloit again, and at the end of the voy age cut the sea and took to carpenter leg. That's some years ago, and his hair ain't turned gray yet." II ut Cticrch-Tower Clocks are Wound. The oldest tower clock in Xew York Is In St. Taul's steeple. It was made in 1773 by John Thwait, of London- The- clock in St. John's Church was put In the tower in 1812. The Trinity clock was placed in its lofty station, iCO feet from the pavement, 184G, by James Rogers. In dry weather this clock runs well; but in damp, chilly weather it sometimes stops, owing to the precipitation of moisture on the wheels. Originally two men were re- q uired to wind it, ecck of the three 1,500 pound weights haviug to be lifted over fifty feet. Some time ago the winding gear was changed so that one man can now wind it. Describing the operation of winding the clock-keeper says : ''The crank is about twenty Inches long, and when I turn it around I make a sweep of thirty inches. It's a good deal harder than turning a grindstone, but the ma chine has a ratchet, so that I can stop and rest when I want to. The crank has to be turned 730 times to turn the barrel twenty-one times. Around the barrel is wound the wLe rope that holds the 1,500 pound weight. The weight Is simply a box with pieces of Iron in it. That is very old fashioned. Xow we have iron weights so molded that they can be added to or subtract ed from, and the weight can be graded to a nicety. A new wire rope was put to the chimes weight the other day. The rope is what is called a tiller rope, and is 2S0 (eet locg and three-quarters of an iuch thick. It takes nie an hour and a half to wind up the clock." St. Taul's clock has a single back gear and two weights of 1,060 pounds each. It takes tbjee-quarters of an hour to wind it. St. John'a clock Is wound in less than an hear; while the modern clock qf St. George's in charge of the same keeper, is wound in fifteen minutes. Feme of the Inmincus protuberances on the surface of the tun, since the late jrerlod of activity began, have been estimated by M. T. Thollon to have attained a height of 1,000,000 kil ometres. It it proposed by Dr. Op perm an n to construct roads in this way; Frst a bed, 6 to 8 inches thick, of coarse be ton with hydiaulio mertar is laid down, and then on top of this bed a thinner layer of smaller bet on. cemented with a mixture of lime and one-half part of Portland ement or Boulogne cement, and one-half part of slag. Weil defined crystals of galena have been discovered at the bottom of a disused melting-pot at the Lafon Glass Works. Bisk aad Iw Heels. Some time ago Mr. Morey, of Lon don, devised an apparatus for register ing the steps, which he called an olo graph. It consists of a small cylinder, rotating by meant of clock-work In its interior, and of a pen which marks on the cylinder, and Is raised at each step by aa impulse communicated by a ball f air beneath the sole. Observations have been made on number of young soldiers. It was ascertained that the step Is longei in going up hill than down bill. It is shorter when a r-ur-den is earned : longer with lew than high heeled boots; longer when the sole is thick and prolonged a little tnan when it is short and flexible. Itthut appears that the heel may with benefit be almost Indefinitely lowered, while it Is disadvantageous to prolong the sole of the boot beyond a certain limit, or to give it an absolute rigidity. Some inCuences which lengthen the step lessen its frequency; so in going np the hill the step becomes at the same time longer and less frequent. In walking on level ground, the length of the step and its frequency are always proportioned ; the quicker the walk the longer the step. Xature here proves the folly of high heel in a most practi cal manner; and the objection to them la men is equally applicable to ladies; and If they could only see themselves as they totter along perched on high heels and walking ai if stepping on egg shells, their ludicrous appearance would at once stop the fashion. Any one accustomed to country lite and long walks on hills, must have felt that terrible leg weariness which a day's shopping with lady entails. The slow Irregular walk, the frequent pauses, and the difficulty of taking short steps with proper balance, are trials well-known to men. ithout a a geod-shaped, low heeled boor, no lady, however pretty her loot or grace ful her carriage, can walk becomingly. with ease to herself, and a proper flex- I jb of the muscles of the feet and legs. Hair the ricket ankles come from the heels being too high to form a proper steady base for the weight of the body, and the narrow pointed toes prevent their proper expansion and use. Make a footprint in the sand and then ge and place your boot in It what a. margin there will be 1 Horses even, with a horny boor, suf fer terribly if their shoes are cramped and do not allow the foot to expand. Much more might be written of the ac companying ills of tight and high-heeled boots, but as long as women will bear the pain so as to appear taller and have tiny feet, so long will they do violence to nature's gift. Legs and feet were given us for use to exercise the body upon. In fact, so cramped up and stilted has fashion made the walk now-a-days that a lady with wooden legs might muster in the park undiscovered. Tho Velocipede and tbe Barrel. It was a horrid, horrid boy rushing madly along the sidewalk upon a vile velocipede. Pedestrians respectfully stood out of the way, even while they inwardly invoked maledictions upon the boy, lor no living man can collide with a velocipede and not receive grievous bodily harm. A nd we stood afar off and wished that some evil might happen the boy. And a gigantic man came along the sidewalk rolling belore him a cask so heavy that it made the ground shake as if a train were passingover it. Xow, the boy who had spread havoc among the pedestrians bore straight down upon the gigantic man, and the man smiled grimly and there was joy in our hearts because of what was about to happen. The gigantio man rolled the barrel along with a easy motion, but it was the motion of solid Immensity, ot Irre sistible force, of an earthquake, of a moving mountain. And the valiant boy rode furiously against It. The barrel continued to roll steadily onward. The col.Uion did not even eause it to vibrate. The velocipede did not roll on. It stopped, and stopped forever. It was shivered into a hun dred vile atoms, and its rider precipi tated into that mud with which he had so often bedaubed others. And he ut tered a howl of a iguish which thrilled every fibre of our souls with joy. "So you wouldu't get out of the way of it?" grimly observed the gigantic man "Ah, ha! so you wouldn't get out of the way of itf" And the boy wept And each of Lis tears was to us more precious than the balm of Gilead or the roses of Gulistan. A Gigantic Sea-Worm. The Duke of Sutherland has wisely instituted at Dunrobin Castle, Golspie, X. B., a museum, to which his tenants send anything rare or remarkable dis covered on the property. During the past week his secretary, Mr. Wright, has kindly Informed me of most mar velously interesting addition to the aquaria of the museum, namely, a very rare specimen of a gigantic sea-worm caught among some sea wrack by some of the Duke's deep sea-line men, off Golspie. This remarkable worm, when full-sized, is said to attain the length of from eighty to ninety leet; he Is capa ble of shrinking himself np to a very much smaller length. He is as flat as a ribbon, and only five or six lines in width, of a brown violet color and smooth and shining like varnished leather. Very little if anything is known of the habits of tb is monster worm, exeept that it lurks, under stones and the hollows ol rocks, where he colls himself np into a fceip ot knots, which he is incessantly loosening and tightening. He has, however, the power of undoing his knots and extending himself in a straight line. In this way he swims, or rather glides through the water, propelling himself by means of fine cilice, nnen ne nas round a new domicile salted to his purpose he colls himself up again into knots. His long, dark-colored, ribbon-like body is ter mi nated by a head which is of a some what snake-like appearance, only there I s bo forked tongue nor t?eth, poison ous or otherwise. The Duke's speci men Is apparently a small one, between four and live feet long, but perhaps the creature has not uncoiled himself his whole length. His scientific name is the "Lineus Marlnus." There is a beautiful figure of him In the proceed ing f the Bay Society, 1S73. The discovery of this gigantio sea-worm makes us all feel more than ever how little we realy know of the inhabitants of the mysterious depths of the vast ocean.

A dlmlyllghted stable imposes on the horse suuuen cuanging irwm twilight to broad sunlight, which can not fail to weken the sight.

If the window is directly in front ot thn stall, a glare of light is directed toward the eyes with a blinding effect, which is very injurious. Probably the best arrangement for lighting stables Is by means ef a skylight or windows placed near the ceiling. Much has been said against blinkers, yet their use continues to a considerable extent. If the eyes of the horse, like those of man, were dirscted forward, blinkers might Drove uncomfortable but not Icjurions. The range ot vision in the horse is much greater than in man ; by limiting this range of vision and allow ing it a forward direction only which is not according to nature the mus cles of the eyes become strained and their strength impaired.

Tcekiy Fattkku.o. A nice plump turkey most people have a weakness that way is what on many a farm the young people ol the household are now looking forward to produce. Turkeys in a few weeks will not be the least remunerative department of tne farmyard when properly cared for and fed. In the majority of cases in this country turkey rearing hardly pays for the large outlay In trouble and other expenses. B jt they are undoubt edly profitable to raise when reared on prodtable principles, which means plenty of lood, care and excercUe. There Is a great difference of opinion In regard to fattening turkeys, hut ex perience has shown breeders that the best way to get the greatest number ot pounds of flesh is to feed the birds ail iney will cat, right Ironi the time they hatch out till iney are ready for mar ket. While they are ruuning at large is the time to develop them, 'i'hey un doubtedly get much food in the fields, the scattered gram, the "hoppers," worms, etc, etc, but men that must be supplemented by dally or twice daily leeusot irra'u at the barn. Turkeys cannot bex col linemen t, especially when in small flocks or singly, and should never be confined louver than a week or ten days beiore killing. An ordinary rail pen is oue of the best for the put pose, lor iney like to be on tne ground. At this time teed principally on cooked or soil ioou ana plenty oi milk, it you have it to spire, giving. occasionally, bard, whole grain to keep the flesh solid and firm. Houses' Coixabs. 1 am surprised that the suffering which horses endure from lll-niting collars has not been made a subject of complaint. The fact is, there is no greater or more unno ticed cause of torture to the horse than an ill-titling collar. The trouble Is not so much attributable to Ignorant harness makers, but rather to the other cause that of chaaglug harness from one horse to another, regardless of the lit of the collar, the most imports 1 1 liem in the whole harness, particular ly in dralt work. If this suggestion had been offered in Xew York, where I have worked till within the last few months, 1 could refer to four out of ev ery five harness-makers where a driver oould depend on getting a perfectly titling coliar and no doubt the same is the case here yet the evil exists in ew;iork toss great an extent as any where. The causes of this great trou ble are, in car and stage lines. Ignor ance and carelessness on the part of superintendents; changing harness under the above mentioned conditions by grocery, milk, and express men In large wholesale dry goods, hard ware, and other commercial bouses, the trouble is principally caused by bad repairs In rellning and stuffing collars, tne most particular or all har ness joubing. lr the following condi tions were observed, ninety per cent of the suffering would be avoided : First, a collar shouM fit like a comfort able shoe; second, the traces in draft should be of equal length ; third a col lar should fit close to tne wiu-er. with room for the open hand to pass over the gullet; fourth, the bearing should oe lull and tree irom lumps in the till ing. When these conditions fail la giving a horse comfort at work which 1 have yet to hear a good practical harnessmaker should be applied to and the trouble will be remedied at once Extending tht Telephone. An ingeni ous police officer has conceived the idea of extending the telephone to wider and more important nses In connec tion with the suppression or crime In the city. The advantages or the alarm telegraph and telephones connecting tne stations have been apparent, in the ay of sending Information, and it is now proposed as aa experiment in the more disturbed and dangerous districts to extend the system after the pattern or the hre alarm telegraph by puttlns- np boxes, with telephone communica tions, at suitable points, the keys of which are to be instructed to orderly and law-abiding citizens, as well as to police, so that in case of a fracas, a robberv, accident, or anytning calling for the services or the police, they can be summoned with the least possibly delay. In connection with the alarm a reserve force Is to be maintained at the stations with wagons and ambu lances, and all the paraphernalia neces sary lor riot or accident. Should it be a murder, robbery, or any ottier crime. the perpetrators or which have es caped, the alarm is to be given to every man in the district by sounding a large bell, which is to be placed upon the roof of the station. Upon hearinz this, every officer on duty is to run to the nearest telephone box and corres pond with the station, and it is also proposed that they report by the same meaus every hour, whether anything occurs on their beau or not. It Is not expected that the scheme will go into perfiot practical operation at once. Drunken roughs may smah the boxes, thieves cut the wires, and small boys play pranks with the arrangements, but this w as no more than was done with the fire alarm telegraph when it was first established, and that the police telephone alarm contains the germs of an equally sound idea Is tvi- aent.
