Famous Old Clock In Rouen Has Kepi
Time for SIO Tears.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer:
Rouen, one of the principal cities of
France, and the greatest seat of its
•cotton manufacture, possesses the old
est public clocks in the world. The
tfreat Rouen clock has held its place
in that city for 510 years and is the
pride of Its citizens. Placed in 1389,
It has been running without interrup
tion from that day to this, requiring
nothing except cleaning and a few
trifling repairs of its accessory parts.
The great clock has so accustomed
the citizens to look upon its exacti
tude as a matter of course that when,
in 1572, the breaking of a wire pre
vent its sounding 5 o'clock one morn
ing, the population was In a state of
consternation. The magistrates sum
moned the custodian—Guillaume Pe- I
tit —and remonstrated gravely with
him. Until 1712 the great clock had
no pendulum. For 323 years it had
no other regulator than a "foliot," an
appartus unknown to the majority of
modern clock makers. The pendulum
in clock work was introduced in 1659,
but so well satisfied were the people
of Rouen with the time keeping qual
ities of their famous old clock that
fifty-three years were allowed to pass
before a pendulum was substituted for
the "foliot." Equipped with this new
apparatus it has continued to this day
to strike the hours and chime the
•quarters.

DOOM OF RANGE HORSES
THE VAST HERDS OF THE NORTH
WEST DISAPPEARING RAPIDLY.
Cattlemen anl Sheepmen Are Driving
Them From the Pattarasce an<l Water
Kaposure Is Killing .Them, and Fac
tories Are Cunning Tliein.
Gradually but surely the greatherds
of range horses'on the interior plateaus
of Washington, Idaho and Montana
are being driven to the wall. Several
causos are working to depopulate the
bunch grass ranges of the vast herds
that have roamed there for centuries.
Briefly stated, the chief causos aro the
increased demand for irrigable lands
by settlers and the purchase or lease,
followed by fenoing, of great areas of
range lands by cattlemen and sheep
men. The latter are fencing in tho
springs, creeks and ponds that form
the water sources so vital to range in
dustry. These facts denote a new era
in the development of Western sheep
aud cattle raising, increasing produc
tion, nud putting the industry on a
solid basis. It ends the indiscrinate
pasturage of cattle, sheep and horses
over immense areas of the Northwest
ern States. It means the confining of
the cattle and sheep to lands that can
be aoquired, fenced and made more
productive, and it means also the
gradual extinction of the horses.
The horses, or at least their owners,
know that their hour of doom has
Btruok, declares the New York Sun.
Already they are being moved off the
ranges by tens of thousands. Thqpe
left are forced to eke out a precarious
existence on the dry pasture lands left
by the cattle aud sheep herders, where
they may die of thirst in the summer
or starve to death in the winter, with
no one to mourn their end.
During the last two years at least
CQ,OOO head of range horses have been
romoved from the ranges of Eastern
Washington alone. Thoir disposition
has been approximately as follows:
Sblppeil to Chicago and other Eastern
markets. 10,000
Sent to Aluska during the Kloaklke
rush '. J _ 8,000
Canned Into horsemeut at Linton,
Oregon, for shipment to Franoe 9,000
Driven to Idaho, Montana, Wyoming,
Colorado and Utah, largely for pack
and saddle horses 10,000
Broken for use by new settlers In
Washington 10.000
Died during the last two winters.... 8,000
Loss from State In two years 65,000
This loss has been double the
naturnl increase, reducing the num
ber of wild horses in the State from
about 125,000 to 80,000 or 90,000. At
this rate of decrease they would last
for many years, hilt the faot is that
the horses are being confined to a
smaller area each successive year,
thereby increasing the chances of de
struction.
Tho figures given are based on es
timates furnished by E. F. Benson,
who has charge of leasing the range
lands of the Northern Pacifio Railway.
Ho reports that the cattle and sheep
men are now leasing, buying nnd
fencing lands so rapidly that the
range horses already find it difficult
to obtain water. The attempt of large
numbers to feed on the scanty rrugo
loft to them must leave them thin in
the fall, and it will need only one
hard winter, with deep snow and cold
weather, to kill them off by thou
sands. Their usual method of winter
feeding is to paw through tho snow
for the tufts of rich bunch grass
which furnish their sustenance, but
under the present conditions these
tufts will be eaten oil' by the hungry
herds before the BUOW Hies. At least
5000 horses died of starvation last
winter in the districts north and south
of the Snake River. From fifty to
eighty per oent. of some bauds van
ished under the conditions of short
grass and deep snow. The cattle and
sheep, on the other hand, are round
ed up in the lower valleys during the
fall and fed during the winter.
Mr. Benson reports that the range
horses are now confined almost en
tirely to the thinly populated counties
of Douglas, Lincoln, Adams and
Franklin and parts of Yakima and
Kliokitat. These animals are worth
from $3 to 820, according to size aud
quality. A large proportion of them
are oayuses, others are strong, large
boned horses.
In June 5000 head of Douglas
County horses were sold for shipment
East at $2.50, 83 and 80 a head, ac
cording to size. The horse canning
factory at Linton, Oregon, has con
verted about 9000 head into meat for
shipment to Franoe and Germany in
the last two years. A still larger
nnmber will be canned in the near fu
ture, for the industrial department of
the Northern Pacifio Railway has aid
ed in the establishment of another
horse canniug factory at Medora,
North Dakota. A home market for
many thousand head has been occa
sioned by the boom in the wheat in
dustry consequent upon the good
orops and the good prioes of the past
two years. Thousands of wild horses,
weighing 1100 pounds and upward,
have been broken to the plow by both
old and now settlers. The indications
are that this local absorption will con
tinue in a limited way for several
years in Eastern Washington aud
Idaho.
While the cattle and sheep mon have
in effect combined against their com
mon enemy, the range horses, it is no
less true that cattlemen look askance
at the steadily increasing numbers of
sheep pastured in the open range
oountry. While the natural increase
of the bands of sheep is rapid, tens of
thousands more have been moved to
the Northwest from California on ac
count of fierce drought. The Bhoep
beoome profitable from the first year,
since the two prinoipal orops, lambs
and wool, coming in May and June,
are salable within the fiscal year,
while the herds of cattle must be
maintained three or four years before
profitable returns are possible. It is
duo to this fact that the cattle men be-
gan purchasing and fenoing the range
lands several years ago, and the
sheep men, as a matter of self-protec
tion, have followed suit. The need of
the sheepmen for wider pasturage has
cnused the industry and its custom of
occupying the open ranges to he offi
cially recognised by the United
States Government in its measures for
policing and protecting the great for
estry reserves recently set apart in
Washington and Oregon. The Gov
erment's primary object is to prevent
forest tires, which greatly injure the
watershed. On condition that they
use the utmost precaution to prevent
Area the sheep men are permitted to
drive their bands into the rich pasture
lands on the mountain slopes of these
reserves. The forest supervisors have
divided the reserves into districts for
the various bands, the limits being
marked by streams, ridges and other
natural boundaries.
SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.
The cooling of the air oontinucs un
til condensation of the watery vapor
begins. Watery vapor is always pres
ent in greater or leHs quantities. The
temperature at which this condensa
tion takes place is the dew point, and
if this occurs at thirty-two degrees
Fahrenheit or below, frost is formed.
Eleven different fats in emulsions
have been tested to determine whether
they would allay cough and increase
weight. The effects with cod-liver oil
proved to be variable. The best re
sults were given by beef fai, olive,
peanut and cocoanut oil, and the ex
perimenter has concluded that a mix
ture of these four fats, with the ad
dition of a little clover oil, is much
superior to cod-liver oil.
Many people regard gold as of one
color; this is a mistake, as pure gold
varies considerably in hue. An ex
pert can tell the locality from whence
it was derived by itscolor. Australian
gold is is very much redder than Cali
fornian, Nugget gold (Klondike, for
instance) is yellow, whereas that from
quartz is of a deeper "golden" tint.
The reddest gold comes from the Ural
Mountains. Of course'few people see
pure gold, for the metal of commerce
and even our coins are alloyed. Na
tive metal is much too soft to be usod
alone, and roquires an alloy to enable
it withstand rough wear and tear.
In Enghshjpotteries last year 4,9
per cent, of the male workers and
12.4 of the females suffered lend poi

sors Thorpe and Oliver recommend
that the use of raw lead in giazes and
colors be prohibited, and that young
persons and women be excluded from
work in certain operations. Experi
ments of the last few months have
shown that satisfactory leadless glazes
are now within reach of the manufac
turer. In some branches of the pot
tery industry, however, it might be
difficult to dispense altogether with
lead compounds, and in such cases the
risk of poisoning could be greatly re
duced by using the lead iu the form of
a fritted double silicate, The older

introduce favorable sanitary condi
tions, should bo closed.
Bohemia now furnishes the largest
emonnt of graphite for Europenn use.
It is found in its purest condition iu

limestone near Schwartzbach and Mor
gan. That portion of the mineral suf
ficiently pure is shipped away as it is
mined, but the inferior product is
ground iu mills where a stream of
water takes up the powdered graphite
and deposits it in sheets in the form
of mud. These are subsequently
pressed and dried in a stove. There is in
Bohemia an average yearlyproductiou
of 885 tons, which oomes principally
from three mines—the two mentioned
above and that of Krummau, which
produces an inferior grade of the sub

Hpftniili Indifference.
Nothing, indeed, is so striking to
the traveler as the perfect serenity of
Madrid, says a writer in Blackwood's,
and it is a serenity not of carelessness
but of resignation. Tho Spaniard,
being a brave man, regrets that he has
been beaten; but, being also a creature
of confirmed habit, he convinces him
self that regretjs notjworth express
ing. So once more the pertinaoity
of the Spanish character is exempli
fied. The great kings who in the
past ruled the peninsula suffered
many and grievous defeats, and it was
their constant praotice to put away
from their minds the unpalatable
truth.
Two years ago the average Spaniard
was secure in the knowledge that
Cuba would be his until the end of
time; to-day he knows that Cuba be
longs to him no more. But he does
not deolare his knowledge; he bears
it with what patience he may, and
turns to celebrate the distinctions of
the past. Nor cau the unprejudiced
traveler traverse Spain without a
side glanoe at the neighboring re
public. The French and theSpaniauls
are both popularly believed to carry
Latin blood in their veins, aud though
many a conquest has mixed tho race

ORIGIN OF THE TERM CADDIE.
Ingenious Explanation of Common Goll
Term bj Frank Boyd.
To some, at least, of the unnumbered
and innumerable host of golfers the
question may have occurred at one
time or another—Whence ' ame the
word "caddie"? Frank Boyd, In his
"Omitted Chapters in the History of
Monifleth," which he contributes to
"The Book of Monifleth Golf Links Ba
zar," offers an ingenious as well as
highly amusing explanation of the
term. There was, he says, a Culdee,
or "Keledei," establishment at Moni
fleth at one time, till the monks of Ar
broath dispossessed the Culdees of
their lands and made them their serv
ants. One day it occurred to a monk,
while having a game of golf, to make
the Keledei carry his clubs. He found
this contributed greatly to his comfort.
"The plan was adopted by the rest of
the monks, and henceforth they never
went out without being accompanied
by their Keledei. Now you know,"
continues Mr. Boyd, "that In these
parts the practice is to cut short words
in which the letter T is used. A na
tive, for Instance, never says 'Balgray,'
It is always 'Balgrie.' Thus it was
natural that in the course of time the
T should drop out of the 'Keledei,' and
it should come to sound like 'caydee,'
and to this day this is how the word is
pronounced by superfine Scotch youths.
In the strong Forfarshire vernacular
It was, however, broadened out to 'cad
die.' " As a matter of fact, the origin
of the term "caddie" does not appear to
have ever been satisfactorily explained.
Jamieson, who defines caddie as one
who earns a livelihood by running er
rands, delivering messages, and so on,
expresses the opinion that the term
was originally the same with the
French cadet, which, as he remarks, is
sometimes used to denote a young per
son in general. Dr. Murray, In his
colossal work, holds the same view,
but how the word came to be employed
to denote the lad who carries a play
er's golf clubs has still to be elucidated.

WATERINC FLYING ENGINES,
Vonr Thousand Gallons Taken in While
the Train is in Motion.
Among the remarkable features of
modem railway travel the oue that al
ways attracts attention is the trick of
taking water by the engine while it is
lin motion. The American tourist has
become accustomed to seeing the nar
row trough, twelve to fourteen hun
dred feet long, at various dead level
points along the road, and he knows
that the atrip of water whioh it coil#
tains is scooped up by the engine as it
speeds over the tracks, but people
from foreign countries often ask ques
tions about the water between the
traoks, and marvel when they hear the
I story about "drinking" the engine on
the fly.
What seems a marvellous mechani
cal oontrivauce is an extremely simple
thing. A pipe with a scoop end is
fastened to the tender. It is 0 shaped,
with the top end pointing in to the
water tank and the bottom curled un
der the body of the cender. By a
series of levers this end may be
dropped until it reaches the level of
the ties. When the engine reaches
the trough the fireman drops the scoop
end which is 31 inches high and
twelve inohes wide, into the trough
into which it sinks a distanoe of about
six inches, or within an inch of the
bottom. It may wabble slightly with
out doing any harm, because the
trough is twenty-four inohes wide.
Dropping the end is all that is done,
for the motion of the engine does the
rest. The water rushes into the pipe
and thence into the tank with a rush
and a foroe whioh suggests to the un
initiated the use of powerful engines.
"The most remarkable thing about
the water taking scoop'" said a New
York Central Railroad official, "is
the faot that the speed of the
train must be reduced when the
water is taken on. It reaches the
bends in the pipe with suoh force
that if the train were allowed to go at
its regular speed the metal would be
-seriously strained, so we reduce the
speed to about thirty miles an hour
and have the best results."
While the engine is passing over
the trough at the rate of thirty miles
an hour it takes up about four thou
sand gallons of water—about as much
as would be contained in one hundred
spirit barrels.
Valuable Advertising Hints.
A good catchline is often half the
battle.
It is always possible to learn some
thing from watohing the advertising
of others.
| To print announcements that are
not believable is almost an absolute
waste of spaoe.
The best thing in au advertisement
is spooific information about the arti
cle advertised.
Most of the magazine
matter is as unreadable as the body of
the magazines themselves.
The newspaper is likely to become
constantly a better medium, for every
year the number of readers of it in
creases.
The picture ought to suggest the
subjeot of the advertisement, and the
advertisement ought to appear to have
suggosted the picture.
Perhaps the worst fault of the
neophyte adwnter is the struggle for
originality at the expense of good
judgment and common sense.
A slight misrepresentation in a
single advertisement may often cast a
shadow of doubt over all the adver
tiser's aubsequent efforts, oven though
these be thoroughly reliable.
There appears to be a growing oon
viction among advertisers that a
judicious use of white space is one ol
the most effeotive methods of display
ing an advertisement. The contrast
between the blaok type and the white
paper is one that apparently attracts
the eye at the first glance. It gives,
also, an impression of easy reading—
one of the best impressions, perhaps,
that an announcement can give to
prospective readers.—Printers' Ink.
Discovery of the Southern Icefields.
The hpme and origin of the south
ern ioeb'ftrg are a matter full of ro
mantic interest. In 1771 Captain
Cook sailed down into the unknown
Antarctic regions, and after terrible
hardships reached a spot where he saw
a snow-white brightness in the clouds
to the south, and he knew ho was near
the icefields. Four hours later he was
stopped by a great ice barrier in lpti'
tude seventy-one degrees south,where
the mountains of ioe, rising one above
the other, tier upon tier, into the
distance, were lost in the clouds oi
the polar sky. The desolate gi-andeur
of that ioy coast appalled the great
navigator, and, seeing no possibility
of pushing to the pole over those jpa
passablo mountains, he contented
himself with having gone further than
any one had ever been before, and, he
thought, as far as any man could go.
He speaks of vast glaoiers descending
from the interior, and of ice islands
and floats near the coast; and .from
his remarks ,it [is easily seen that he
had found the home of southern bergs.

THE LAUNDRY CLASS.
In many of the schools of Domestic Science, Laundry
work is now taught in a thorough and scientific manner.
In the Laundry class-room Ivory Soap is always used
to wash the articles that require special care and it is
frequently used to the exclusion of all other soaps.
It is as important to know the best materials for
domestic use as to know the best methods for using
them, and Ivory Soap is very generally recognized, by
those who have carefully investigated the subject, as
the safest and purest soap.
Spanish Care Dwellers of To-dayw
We commonly refer the cave dwell
ers to pre-historlc times, but there
are still some of these people in parts
of Europe that are considered civiliz
ed. Their primitive dwellings are. In
some cases, natural caves, and In oth
ers have been hewn out of the rocks.
Some of these homes in Spain are de
scribed by a writer. He says: "There
is no need of an alms house In Alcala.
One side of the hill above the town Is
honey-combed with caves, which are
used by the poor as dwellings, free of
rent and taxes. These caves run In
tiers, with paths between them, and
before each Is a garden in which grow
the prickly pear, flg, vllas, maize and
vegetables. The combination of rock
and foliage gives the whole hillside
that Blngular appearance of rocky
fertility seen only In southern lands,
and particularly In the presence of
cactus growth. The people seemed
quite as comfortably Bituated as many
who lived In houses, and In general
appearance the alms bouse hill of Alca
la was more attractive than the gipsy
quarter of Oranada. Doubtless these
caves have the advantage over ordi
nary houses of being warmer in win
ter and cooler in summer."
A Cultured Monarch.
King Oscar 11, king of Norway
and Sweden, Is one of the most cultur
ed men in Europe. He is remarkable
in literature, his works comprising
musical compositions, verse, fiction,
and many volumes on technical sub
jects, and he has also translated into
Bwedish Oothe's Faust, which alone
is a very great undertaking. He is a
fine speaker, and in his youth had
such a remarkably flno and well train
ed voice that it was considered one of
his greatest gifts. The king, though
now an old man, bas a splendid pres
ence, and in manner is simple and un
affected. He spends many months of
the year at Tullgarn, his grand old
onstle on the edge of the cliffs over
hanging the sea, and one of his great
est pleasures is drilling his little
grandsons.
