We quote the following com- 1its on Dr. Prinzing’s conclusions, from Boersen Zeitung: ost important reason for the t marital life in itself diminishes y i the fact, in accordance with ng's exposition, that there is a greater mortality among the husbands and wives who have lost their consorts vigor reater 1an among those who are still married, he and that women who are single do not dle m off much more quickly than marriea g h- women.

N Coutances, France, lives "Monsieur Le Boullat, a curfous man, who de- H votes his energies to‘the manufacture of curious clocks. He makes time- pieces of straw, of wood, of paper and sometimes of solid- gold, inlald with dla- monds. For twenty years he has been | working at his #freak” clocks and has | made them of almost every concelvable material. One of Boullat's.clocks {s made | out of old newspapers. He collectdd a lot of papers, made them into a pulp, which he mixed with a hardening material, and carved his clock out of ' the resultant mass. When he got through preparing the paper pulp it was as hard as steel, but very brittle. Nevertheless by the ex- ercisc of great care he was able to carve out the wheels, posts, teeth, pendulum, etc. The pendulum rod and other large pleces were made by casting the material in a mold. This clock does not keep ree markably eorrect time, but the wonder is that it goes at all. This newspaper clock is one of M. Boullat's latest triumphs. Another s a clock of wood. He calls it a rustic clock, and it certainly is rustie in appearance. It looks llke a collection of logs and sticks held together by wires. On closer Inspection one sees that it is & veritable clock constructed on scientifio principles. All the parts of this woodea HERE are pumpkins and pumpkins, The oné in the picture is'a pump-’ kin. It grew in Ontario, Canada, which is embarrassing to California, but we might as well ‘accept the fact that It is & big one. Canada is a good place for the pumpkin plant; the cold climate seems to agree with it and it flourishes there | like a green bay tree. ¥ | ‘William Warnock raised the ~gionster shown in the plotograph. It started out In life after the manner of others; it was | 8rown out-of-doors and had no more care than any thrifty farmer gives to his en- 4‘lire field. During the early part of its life it was not over-sized, but it kept on growing after the others had stopped. | It kept on and on. “Better cut it,” one of the family suggested. “It'll make enough pies now for the whole season, “The Girl in the Bumpki o n. and there's no use waiting for it to grow bigger than we want.” But Warnockd saw that it bade fair to be a freak, and he didn’t care to check lts career. So he left it alone, ! On, on it went. One hundred pounds, then two, then slowly it crept on to three. People gasped at that and sald that the end had come; but the send had net. Twenty-two pounds more that pumpkin galned before it stopped, and registered itself at 322 pounds. People gathered to look at the mam« moth. For a long time it was on exhi- bition, and #when its end was at hand the farmer scooped out the inside and put his daughter in the shell. Iris was only 5 years old, but she v:as a pretty big 5-year-old to get inside a Cinderella coach.

The basae of clock is made of two logs of wood, fastened crosswise, Two upright| solidly ‘connetted at top and bote( rve a support for the spindles of! the wheels. The motor weight is susel pended from the drum of a-four-armed wheel, which occupies the central part off the timeplece. The mechanism consists of a motor weight, the four-armed whee} and encasement rack, a pendulum and two pulleys, one of which has a crank and handle for winding. A dial and hands complete the clock, all of which is made of wood except the wheel range of the rack, which is of metal. This clock keeps excellent time, never varying more than two minutes a week, a remarkable thing when one considers the construction. v Several years ago M clock of w which tention.

A Hindoo servant of a friend who kept up his Indian habits of eating London has told me that in his own case nothing would make up for a deficienc of ghee or butter, and that his ex In this matter was the common experience of his countrymen away from home. In- deed, it may be ®aken for granted that oil may be used in large quantities through- out the year In the hot, olive-growing countries of the south of Europe, not only without making the people bilious or out of order in any way, but with unmis- takable benefit. Dr. Cohnheim at the International Congress detailed his experience with large doses of olive oil In cases of severe gastric distress. In his first the young man had suffered from an injury in the gastri® region, and it seemed prob- able that an ulcer had resulted. The pain on eating was so great as to make him avold food. A wine glass of olive oil taken before meals gave complete rellef. The same remedy was tried in other cases in which stomach discomfort was a prom- inent symptom. Even In cases of gastric cancer relief was afforded to many symp- toms. In‘cases of pylorus stenosis most s well as in cold. indigestion In these in ne case Indisestion SPRING CHICKEN pouns.
