I suburb of Chester. with several huudr men. women and children. all of who were looking up the long avenue that led to the city. The houses were decorated with hunting. and across the street hung I banner, " Welcome to Saltuey.” A shout suddenly went up from the crowd as I car- ri with 9 single horse appeared at the In of the evenue. " The top of the carriage was thrown back. and in the back seat. Ilene. sat Gladstone. who had come to this place to perform the ‘ neighborly duty ’ of opening I free library for workingmen. With his hat in his hand. the vsnerable statesman was bowing and smiling to every one. The first thing that struck me wes the keen. quick glance of his eye. which seemed to take in everything. As he stopped from the carriage 1 was surprised to see how erect he stood. with what vigor he walked to the committee rooms. “ When Mr. Gladstone rose to speak, his frame. which is Ilmust massive. seemed to defy the inolemency of the place. When be commenced speaking be grasped the ispeis of his coat in an awkward manner. and hesitated more than you would expect in such I veteran of parliamentary debate. But Is he grew more earnest, all appear. Incenf awkwardness pessed away. there was no delay for choice of words. and the Indience listened spell-bound. He had I peculiar way of drawing back the corners of his mouth just before beginning to speak. Is if he were trying to get a purchase upon the sentence he was commencing. When- ever he made I humorous point the smile would linger on his fees but for I moment. He spoke with intense. eIrnestness throughout the address. end during the hour and a half that he talked there was no sign of breaking' in his voice, which was remarkably clear for ,r. men of his age.” W Hints its in Advertising.

It was the morning iollowing the final meeting for the season of one of these comuiitteee~oue for the protection of frish landownersâ€"Ind Mrs. Truccle was seated at her breakfast reading the annual report. In it her name was several times mentioned-and mentioned. too. in connec- tion with those of two duchesses. one merchiouess. three countesses and various other ladies of lesser title. As the widow read she could not help feeling. with I benevolent glow on her face, that. after all. virtue is its own reward. She had just finished the report, and was sitting reflecting how she could further show her devotion to so deserving I cause. when her meditations were uninterrupted by the advent of the butler. He brought her I gentleman's oard. Astonished _at such I very early visit. Mrs.Truoole li-istily took the card, and. putting on her specta- cles, read the none on it. " Mr. Eusteoe Burko.‘ she said. " Who is this person. Soker ‘? I never heard of him before." " Don't know. ma‘am." replied Soker.

After a formal greeting, spoke. “ I trust. Mrs. Trucole." he said, " that you will forgive the liberty that I. r. com- plete stranger to you. have taken in daring to call on you. I assure you that nothing but your reputation for kindness to the unfortunate is to blame. If you Mil, be benevolent and generous to those who have had disasters in the world's struggle. you must expect. Mrs. Trucole. occasionally to have a miserable being like myself Ippeal~ ing to you for assistance." Mr. Eustace Burks said this in such I nice, flattering way that Mrs. Triioole's already good opinion of him was consider- ably enhanced. “1 am always ready. oi.“ she said. " tc sssiet. as far as my menus allow. persons deserving my sym athy." " I know it, in am." replied Mr. Burke. “ but the assistance 1 went from you is not pecuniary assistance; I merely want your help to put me into a position where I can earn my bread." " indeed." sold Mrs. Trnocle. still more favorably impressed. “ May I ask for I little iniormetion or to your antecedents and claims 1’“ " Certainly. madam." answered Mr. Burke with a sigh, " although the subject to me is a most painful one. I belong to that most unfortunate class of men. 'irish landlords. I still nominally possess a oon~ siderable estate near Ballymulwacking. and I am cousin to Lord (lrabmcre of that neighborhood. of whom. perhaps. you have heard." “ Oh. yes." put in Mrs. Ti‘necle quickly. " I met him once at a Pdmrose League mating." “ Ah." said Mr. Burke with satisfaction. “ then we are not quite such strangers after all.

" Well.” said Mrs.'I‘ruocie. blushiu Ilittle at the idea of being thought a frieu of the great Lord Gainers.

The next day Mr. Eustace Burke brought round his wife we most ladylike person. Mrs. Trnocle could not but confess to her~ self--aud introduced her to Mrs. Truccle, and then the three of them settled the terms on which Mr. Burke and his wife were to become caretakers. A week or so later Mrs. 'l‘roccle. after sending all her suierfiuons jewels to her bunker for safe keeping. left for Hastings. and the Burke- were duly installed in charge of her town house. Mrs. Trntcle was happy and contented. She felt that she had really and truly done a good work She had assisted I lady and gentleman who had been rich and were poor, who were well born and very smart. and who were nearly related to the poor- Ige. Only one thing detracted from her satisfaction. That was her promise of secrecy. Mrs. Trucole was dot one of those who love to hide their light under a bushel. When she did a good work she thought half its moral effect was lost if all the world did not know of it. Still she kept her promise. dill'nnlt though the task was. Once only did she in the slightest degree infringe it. and then the temptation was enough to excuse anybody, for whom did she meet but her ceretakcr's cousin, Lord Grsbmore 1’ She met him at e Primrose League reunion at Lady Hwaren’s houfia, and had a short chat with him. Then oil she sold was this : “ By the way, Lord Urebmore, I met your cousin. Mr. Emits. lately." .. What. Eustace?" linked Ills Lordship. " Yes. Mr. Ecstsoe Burke." “ In Paris ?"

He should be ashamed of himselfâ€"ta rich man like him to let his poor relative go I~begging." Mrs. Truocle had been about I fortnight or so in Hastings when she received a tele- gram from her solicitor that startled her. It said: " Come to town at once. Want to see you on most important business." “ tht Cllu it menu ‘7" Mrs. Truccle asked herself. “ Gen any of my invest- ments have gone wrong ‘.’ I hope not. Mr. Gulles is such ii careful man that that isn't at all likely. But what can it be. I won- der ? At any rate. I must go. Scksr. when is the next train-to London ? I want to run up there for In hour or two." The moment Mrs. Truocle reached town she drove over to her solicitor. Mr. Ouiles was engage-i in court.but he had left orders that he wee to be sent for when Mrs. 'I‘ruccls arrived. But she was so eager to know at once why she had been telegraphed for that she asked the monsging clerk what was the matter. “ Well. madam. I don't know that any. thing is wrong." replied that gentleman with legal caution. ” But may I ask who the caretakers are that you have in your house ‘7 ” " Mr. and Mrs. Eustace Burke." replied Mrs. Truocle. with s. start. “ They are cousins of Lord Grabmore’s. Why do you went to know ? " “ 0h. cousins of Lord Grsbmore’s. are they 3 " said the clerk reflectively. “ Per- haps there is nothing wrong. then. after all.

There is a clerk in Paris which consists of I glass dial and two hands. The bands are balanced by a ball on the short end of such. and in these balls. which are only about an inch in diameter. is contained the mechanism of the clock. You can turn the hands to any point you like. and on re- li using them they will swing back. oscillate for a moment. and then show the correct time just as- if they had not been touched. There are some very beautiful and ingo~ niously constructed clocks made in Paris and Vienna. I saw one it few years ago in which the only ev1ience of motion. save the movement of the handt. was the per. formance ole cat that at intervals cau- tiously extended her head and snatched with her paw at an almost-tooventurisome mouse. whose tail always disappeared just in the nick of time down I holein I corner of the structure.

The Cathedral at Maiiuos has I forgot dial. but has only one hour bend. The minute hand of the Westminster clock does not prmeed regu- larly. but at its point jumps nearly seven inches every half minute. It telegraphs its time twice daily to Greenwich Observatory. The die! train is wound weekly; the strik- ing train twice a week. The hour bell is nine feet in diameter and weighs fifteen tons. It is distinctly heard at ten miles distance. The quarter hour hells weigh 8.000. 3.700. 2.800 and 2,300 pounds respectively. The clock has been running since 1859. and cost. with the bells. 0110.000.
