Famous Old Clock in Itonen llus Kept
Time for fllo Years.
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
great Rouen clock has held its place
in that city for 510 years and i 3 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
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 1C59,
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.

end occasionally alighting upon a tur

others were at work. A particularly
large and handsome bird attracted his
attention by the graceful way in which
it floated slowly over the drills, in
tently scanning the surface of the
ground. Suddenly, steadying itself e
moment, it dropped, dug its bill into
the ground, and rose with a mole
for its prey. Resting a few minutes, it
gracefully began again a further search
for prey. In a few minutes a second
mole was unearthed.

HEDGED WITH DIFFICULTIES.

It is next to impossible for a mar
riage engagoineut without the concur
rence of tho elders of the family to be
contracted in Porto llico. The con
stant surveillance maiutaiuod over tlxe
girls of the household aud their con
tinned subjection to parental author
ity, even atter reaching yenvs of ma
turity, is a successful barrier to any
thing sensational in contracting a life
partnership. No association is toler
uted that may lead to a mesalliance,
uud few opportunities are afforded to
create an attachment without tho full
knowledge and consent of the heads
of the family. Tho only ocoasious
npon which this may happen are the
larger social gatherings, supli as Mardi
Gras balls and dances at the Casinos
Espauoi, which occur several times a
year.
Young women are always surrounded
with a suitable guard of chaperons by
day and night. After reaching a place
of social rendezvous tho young folk
are allowed some liberty to promen
ade, dance and chat together while
those charged with guardianship sit
near and take note of tho proprieties.
The uttention of au inamorato to the
object of his devotions must not be too
ardent nor too continuous, he must
not dauce with her more than twice,
nor hover near loug enough to excite
commont, which is prone to he prompt
and free.
Under these conditions tho susoop
liblo young American who succumbs
to the witching glance of a sweet, soft
eyed senorita finds tho paths of love
anything hint flower strewn. It re
j quires heroic measures to break
through the human walls of bristling
duennas and scowling matrons that
guard the a; in roan litis to her shy young
heart.
After an engagement is nnuounced
the conditions aro changed. Hence
forth they cau dauco only with each
other. For centuries it lias been de
creed to he a flagraut breach of pro
priety for an affianced or married
woman to step through the mazes of
tho dance with any other than her
fiance or husband. However, the
chnperouage continues until marriage.
Courtship must he conducted under
the parental eye, members of tho
household remaining in the room dur
ing tho visits of men, and rarely can
the sweet, loviue nothings he breathed
without reaching other ears thau those
for which they are intended. Some
times the Argns watchfulness is re
laxed for a few moments, which aro
improved to the utmost, it can he
imagined, hut nvo liable to ho broken
into unexpectedly anil frequently by
the scrupulous and anxiously responsi
ble parent or matron in ehnrge.
11l the preparations for marriage the
bridegroom is expected to provide a
home according to his means, more or
less completely equipped with house
hold liuoa and all necessities for
housekeeping. This in virtue of the
sentiment that the bride must hriug to
him nothing hut herself and her trous
seau. Iu this country of fine lieedlo
women this trousseau is something re
markable in variety aud execution,
often of such daiutiuess that many
American brides might envy them.
Porto Biean brides do not waste
much tifne or money upon many street
gowns or thoso for public display. It
is to please the eye of the husband
alone that all the arts of construction
aro expended in house gowns, lingerie
and negligees. A popular niodol is a
cambric princess, the flout a mass of
lace and drawn work round neck aud
gossamer tight fitting or flowing angel
sleeves. A number of tlieso enter into
the outfit, each a marvel of exquisite
work, according to tho purse or deft
uess of fingers of the bride.
A fashionable time for the marriage
ceremony is from midnight up to two
o'clock in the morning. The bride
groom, with his immediate relatives
and friends, proceeds to the home of
tlrs bride, and from there a wedding
procession is formed to the church.
Carriages aro rarely used, the party,
if living iu town, making tlio short
jifurney oil foot, the bride walking with
her godfather, the bridegroom with
his godmother. Tho ceremony over,
they return to the bride's home, where
upon she lifts the veil from her head
and throws it over that of her nearest
girl friend, who cuts it into bits and
distributes it among the unmarried
guests.
The bride then strips to pieces the
orange btossoms of her crown, and
also those which dcok her gown more
or loss elaborately, aooordiug to the
number of her guests, and a spray is
presented to each. The fun then
grows lively over oonntiug the blos
soms, those full blown signifying
years, tho half blown months ond the
buds days whioh will intervene be
fore the recipient's marriage.
The bride thou retires to make a
chaugo in another special feature of
her array, the bridal which
are elogant affairs, ornamented with
white satin rosettes and orange blos
soms and suspended from the waist
by strands upon strands of white
satin ribbons. Each garter is en
closed in a pretty box and prosentod
to her most intimate girl friend. The
strands of ribbon are cut into pieces
and distributed among the other
guests. Then, simply attired iu the
wedding gown, sometimes evon this
laid aside for another, the bride anil
bridegroom lead the dance, and tho
festivities take the form of those
Usual to snob occasions.
Befreshmouts are served, never
omitting ohooolate, whioh from the
time immemorial has been the nuptial
beverage, eo generally reoognized
that when a friend wishes to ask the
dale of a marriage the question takes
the form of "When will chocolate be
served?"
After several hours of gayety the
bridegroom takes his brido to their
new home, and they begin a life of
domesticity. They continue to be
seen occasionally in society, but gen
erally chaperoning some young
friends, or chatting with their coil
temporaries, or quietly and content
edly moving through tlm dauce, al
ways, invariably, with ouch other.—

A Oi-oftt Enterprise.
A worthy American citizen, having
made a fortune, fared forth to see the
world. European business ways and
habits thoroughly disgusted this ner
vously keen expert in money-making,
and he poured forth his scorn to some
friends he met in Paris. One of them, 1
knowing tho ignorauno of the old
gentleman on subjects without the
circle in which he had lived, ventured ,
on a joke.
"I agree with yon," ho said; "1 ]
agree with yon thoroughly. Why, do
you know, sir, I was last week in a
city of oue hundred aud twenty-live
thousand inhabitants—aud I was
overcome, sir—overcome to find they
hadn't a livery-3table in tho city."
No—you don't toll mo!" answered
the victim. "Gentlemen, see there!
Just consider that!" Then, jumping
to his feet, as tho though struck him:
"Why, geutlomen, a fortune's await
ing some one there! Whore's the
place? What's tho name of it?"
"Venice," said tho joker.
"Good! I'm tired of this place any
way. I'll go right down there to
morrow, and put a little horse-sense
into the town. Gentlemen, you're in
this good with me, if yon
choose."
Tlley were all in it, and they in
vested their friend with powers pleni

point, save that it is a historic fact
that Venice was visited. No oue ever

ORIGIN OF THE TERIV CADDIE.
Ingenious Explanation of w amnion CJtolf
Term by Frank Boyd.
To some, at least, of tho unnumbered
and innumerable host of golfers tho
question may have occurred at one
time or another—Whence ame the
wprd "caddie"? Frank Eoyd, 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,
fir "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 goif, to make
the Keledei carry his clubs. lie 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 'Bnlgray,'
It is always 'Baigrie.' Thus it was
natural that in the course of time the
'l' should drop out of the 'Keledei,' and
It should ccme 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.

"Ho Lighted :* Match."
The hulls of many tenements are
dark. There should, uuder tho law,
be a light burning, but it is one of the
rarest, things to find one, says Jacob
A. Biis in the Atlanti*. Tho thing
seems well nigh impossible of accom
plish incut.
We had a curious instance at one
time of the difficulties that sometimes
beset reform. Certain halls that were
known to be dark were reported suf
ficiently lighted by the policeman of
the district,and it was discovered that
it was his standard that was vitiated.
He lived in a tenement himself, aud
was used to its giooin. So an order
wns issued, defining darkness to the
sanitary police. If the sink in the
hall could ho made out, and tho slops
overflowing on the floor, and if a baby
could be seen on the stairs, tho bail
was light; if, on the other hand, its
shrieks were the first warning that it
was being trampled upon, the hall
was dark. Some days later the old
qnestion arose about an Eliliidge
street tenement. The policeman had
reported the hall light enough. The
president of the board of health, to
settle it once for all, went over with
me to see for himself. Tho hall was
very dark. He sent for tho police
man.
"Did you see the sink in that hall?"
he asked.
The polieemau said ho did.
"But it is pitch dark. How did
you see it?"
"I lighted a match," said the po
liceman.

THE LAUNDRY CLASS.
In many of the schools of Domestic Science, Laundry
work is now taught in a thorough and scientific manne.,
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 Dweller* of To-day. I
We commonly refer the cavo dwell
ers to pre-historic times, but there j
are still some of these people In parts I
of Europe that are considered civiliz- j
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- j
scribed by a writer. He says: "There
is no need of an alts house in Alcala.
One side of the hil. 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, fig, vilas, maize and
vegetables. The combination of rock
and foliage gives the whole hillside
that singular appearance of rocky
fertility seen only in southern lands,
and particularly in the presence of
cactus growth. The people seemed
quite as comfortably situated as many
who lived in houses, and in general
appearance the alms house hill of Alca
la was more attractive than the gipsy
quarter of Granada. Doubtless these
caves have the advantage over ordi
nary houses of being warmer in win
ter and cooler in summer."
