81 ME ARE TICKING YET.
Like the Wooden Nutmeg. a! Kentucky,
They Never Wore Ontw'rheir Stately Pre-
eilloll In Conlrllt With Hodm Clocks.
Wheels Enough For Three.
A great many years ago the Connecticut
clock was “made on honor" of cherry,
with a maze of hard wood wheels that
went with the sedate precision of Puritan
life in this commonwealth, and it became
ruinous in the land. The same Connecti-
eut Yankee that took a pocketful of wood-
en nutuiegs into Kentucky was agent also
tor the wooden clock. The clock was bet-
ter than. the nutmegs, or course-—excoptto
eat. Still the nutmegs were good, too, else
they'd never have fetched the price of the
real tropical kernels The clocks were
actually too good. Like the nutmegs, they
never Wore out. There are Connecticut
clocks still running in many a happy Ken-
tucky home that went there at the time of
the celebrated wooden nutmeg dispensa-
tion, and they are just about as good as
ever, so it is said. Some of them Were put
up witha great square, tall black box, a
casket of time, with a solid pendulum and
ball 5 il ‘15 long, that pounded along the
passing hour with pondcrous solemnity,
ticking asoi'tcu as once a second. The
case was a handy place for children to
play hide and seek in, and somctimcs a
child got tanglcd up with the slicing pen-
dulum, and then there was trouble.
When a Kcntuckian bought an old fash-
ioned nutmeg clock, he bought it for all
time. It faithfully ticked his life away,
and now, most likely, is marking time for
his grandson. There is a story about an
inquisitive Kcntuckian who, having a
good deal of spare time on hand and being
in a mood to kill it, took his great Con-
necticut clock apart, and he was all one
day doing it too. Then he spent a week
trying toreconstmct it. Working 10 hours
a (lay—it was rainy weather—«he put back
a good many of its more or loss vital or-
guns—all that it seemed to him a clock
really needed—and the end justlilml his
reasoning and forecast.
“It went right on ticking lust class,"
he said, and so cxubcrantly had the Nut-
meg genius buildcd and “provided" that
he added, “I had works and whccls enough
left ov‘er from the job fur three other
clocks."
Clocks arc not built that way in Con-
necticut today. Not all the Connccticut
clocks ‘WCI‘P disposcd of In Kcnlucky—far

From Telling.
The minister had just returned hen) a
trip abroad, and that Sunday alternoon he
was telling the children of the Sunday
school about it.
“New, dear children,” he said, “the ship
that I went across the ocean on was a
great ship. It was much larger than the
boats you have seen here in the harbor.
If I were to tell you just how large it was,
you would all be surprised, but when you,
grow older you will learn all about those
things, and there is no need of my taking
up this valuable time with such a descrip-
tion when there are things much more in-
teresting to talk about.
“But, as 1 was saying, It was a great
ship. And on our way back there arose a
tremendous storm. Large asthe ship was,
it was tossed about like an eggshell by the
mighty waves of the sea. It rose and fell
and pitched and tossed, and there were
many on the ship who thought that it
would sink. The storm gathered in tury.
The waves grew higher and higher, and
finally the captain and the oflloei's oi the
ship grew anxious. They talked in low
voices among themselves, and soon the pas-
sengers learned that they were afraid that
the storm would overcome the ship and
that we would all go to the bottom oi the
sea.
”I thought that I would never see my
dear children again. I rememlmrcd the
Sunday school and all the friends in my
congregation, and the cvcnts of my past
life came vividly before me. Then I wcnt
to my stateroom. The waves were still
higher, and the ship was being tossed
about at a fearful rate. I knelt down in
my stateroom, and 1—— But, dear, chil.
dren, who can tell me what I did?"
The children were intensely interested
in the recital, and for a moment no one
answered. Then a little fellow who sat
on the front swt raised his hand and said,
“Please, sir, I know."
“Well, said the minister, "what did!
do while I was kneeling there in my state-
room?"
"I know," continued the little follow,
“for I did It when we went to (‘rystal
Beach, but it wouldn't be polite to tell
hore.”—i,3uflalo Express.
