‘1' HIRED WEBSTER'FOR A WEEK:
I Fine Schools by Which the Farmer
, Mode Five Hundred Dollars.
01 course, Webster was in demand
by those who could afford to pay for
his services. A sharp Nantucket man
Is said to have got the better of the
great defender of the Constitution in
an amusing way, however. He had a
small case which was to be tried at
Nantucket, one week in June, and he
posted to Webster’s office in great
haste. It was a contest with a. neigh-
~bor over a matter of considerable local
Interest, and his pride as a. litigant
was at stake. He told Webster the
particulars, and asked what 'he would
charge to conduct the case.
“le1y,” said Webster, “you can’t af-
ford to 'hire me. I should have to stay
down there the whole week, and my
fee would be more than the whole case
is worth. I couldn’t go down there
for less than $1,000. I could try every
case on the docket as well as one, and
it wouldn’t cost any more, for one
case would take my time for the en-
tire week, anyway.” . p
“All right, Mr. Webster, quickly re-
sponded the Nantucketer. ‘fHere’s
your $1,000. You come down, and'I’ll
fix it so you can try every case.”
Webster was so amused over this
proposition that he kept his word. He
spent the entire week in Nantucket,
and appeared on one side or the other
in every case that came up for'hear-
ing. The shrewd Nantucketer hired
Daniel out to all his friends who were
in litigation, and received in return
about $1,500, so that he got Webster’s
services for nothing, and made a good
profit to boot.
If that man was alive in these days
of trusts and sydicates he would prob-
ably be at the head of a. legal trust,
controlling the services of all the big
lawyers of the country—Boston Her-
ald.
CLOCK IN A PAINTING.
George “f. Childs Offered 8500 for II: but
It \Vasln’t for Sale.
The queerest oil painting in Phila-
delphia came from the brush of a
Frenchman, his subject being a church
in Stuttgart, Germany. There is a
clock in the church tower, but it is
not a. painted clock. ~ A real timepiece
of small diameter occupies the space.
[t has a. cathedral gong, which strikes
every half-hour. Each hour is cele-
brated first by chimes and then. by two
German airs played from a music box.
This musical” mechanism occupies a
box-like apartment, which is connect-
ed with the frame of the picture.
Change of temperature affects the pe-
culiar clockwork, as it runs very regu-
larly in the summer, but in winter the
chimes and music are seldom heard.
The owner has had much trouble in
getting it repaired, and no clockmaker
in America seems to understand the
queer mechanism. The painting, with
its accessories, was made in 1700, and
caused no end of comment when first
brought to this country. The = late
Georgre W. Childs offered the husband
of the owner $500 for it, as he desired
to add it to his museum of clocks, but
the offer was-declined—Philadglphia
Record.
A Klondike Cow.
A farmer who lives near Chicago
owned a cow, and five years ago the
farmer’s wife placed $500 in gold for
safe keeping in a boxful of bran in the
cellar. One day, during the mother’s
absence, the children found the box of
bran and carried it to the barn for the
cow to eat. When the woman con-
cluded to look at her treasure again, it
was gone and she believed it was stol-
en. About a. week later the cow was
taken ill, and acted so strangely that
when she died, a veterinarian asked
leave to dissect her, to discover the
cause. When the stomach was opened,
there was $500 in gold, and the farmer’s
wife did not regret the cow’s. death one
bit.
NOTES OF INTEREST.
At the Strozzi Palace in Rome, there
is a book made of marble, the leaves
being of marvelous thinness. -
There are 110 mountains in Colorado
whose peaks are over twelve thousand
feet above the ocean level.
The largest flower in the world grows
in Sumatra. Some of the specimens
are 39 inches in diameter.
The elephant does not smell with his
trunk. His olfactory nerves are con-
tained in a single nostril which is in
the roof of the month, near the front.
Recent experiments to discover the
best fire-resisting materials for the
construction of doors. are said to. have
proved that wood Covered with tin is
better than solid iron.
The skin of the reindeer is so imper—
vious to the coldthat anyone clothed
in such a dress, with the addition of a.
blanket of the same material, may bear

. All the officers of St. Paul’s Episco-
pal church, Otis, Mass., are women ex-

trymen are women. '

“Why?” asked Colombus. "What‘s
the use of turning back, now that
we’re nearly half—way there?"
“We are afraid we’ll never get
back," said the sailor. “You’ll lose
your way before long.” .
“Not at all,” said Columbus, pointing
through the stern window of his ship.
"We can‘t lose ourselves. Do you see
the wake of this ship?”
“Yes,” said the sailor. “I see. It‘s
my own wake I’m thinking of, your
honor."
“Well. never fear,” said Columbus,
calmly. “When we decide to return,
all we have to do is to follow that
wake back to Gibraltar. and from
there the way is easy.”

“'ay to Demngnatize Watches.
. A. simple method of curing a magnet-
ized watch consists in hanging it from
a string, which latter is twisted as
tightly as possible, and then holding
the string and watch’ near a dynamo
or strong magnet. The watch is then
released, and, of course, begins to spin,
and whiledoing so is gradually carried
away from the dynamo and out of the
magnetic field. The demagnetization
.is due to the rapid alterations of the
poles of the magnetized parts in a mag-
netic field that is decreasing in inten-
sity. This is well known to be a
thoroughly reliable method—Louisville
