The general bought the face, weight and pendulum In Boston, paying $(35 for them. Mr, Cheney of Windsor made the brass works $25 more and John Dana of Woodstock built the en.se, adding $35 to the cost. dollars One hundred and twenty-fivIna sum see, you large altogether, deed for those bygone days, and one that I couldnt at all account for until I discovered that brass weights and works came chiefly from England, and that the Nicholson resolution of 1800 positively prohibited their importation. Still, such clocks must always have been costly; as far back as the less expensive year of 1790, 21 pounds In hard money was paid for a grandfathers clock, a financial fact that makes you wonder why collectors today object to expending only a little more for such antique treasures. They really are bargains! Last month, at a country auction, one was sold for $130, and some people thought the priee high. And yet It probably cost nearly as much when It first was made. You know, It was said that It was the very high price of these brass works which originally Inspired Connecticut clock makers to whittle their works out of hardwood. Ell Terry deserves the credit for this Ingenious economy, but the method was soon adopted by many craftsmen, so many, indeed, that If the old label has been lost In the various vicissitudes of repairing, an attic residence and bandying about from owner to owner, It is a little dllllcult to say just who fashioned a particular clock.

Four cases of tumors developing where bndly-titteglasses have Irribeen reported In have skin tated the New Haven, Conn., within recent years. The daces where spectacles usually produce constant bruising of the skin are the bridge of the nose, the sides of the bridge near the inner angle of the eye, the temples and at the back of the ears. There Is no Indication that spectacles of the pinch-ontype ure any more likely to cause such rubbing than are those that have ear pieces, says Ilygeia. In any event, the possibility of such irritations resulting disastrously should be borne In mind and glasses should be d " The Law's Delay Tit-Bit- s.
