A Primitive Clock,
There has receetly been placed on ex.

an early British clepsydra, or water -
clock, which was eliseovered some time
ago near Buehler* Salop. These prim-
itive clocks, of which the museum pos-
sesses five other specimens, were large
bowls of very thia metal, perforated
with small holes at the base and furnish-
ed with handles. They were placed in a
larger vessel containing water and allow-
ed gradually to fill through the notes
at the bottom. In a certain number of
hours they would fill and sink, when
they would be emptied and refloated by
an attendant whose duty it was to keep
vetch over them. This form of timepiece

was in use in Egypt, India, Ceylon and

The ring used in the wedding of Sir
Harry and Lady Verney is a ring which
has been used for centuries in the wed-

It contains an exquisite miniature of
Charles 1e encircled with diamonds, and
was given by that monarch to Sir Ed-
mund Verney, his marshal and standard
bearer, who fell at Edge Hill on October
23, 1042. Sir Edmund's body was never
found, only a severed hand bearing on
one of its fingers this very ring, which
was soon identified as his. The hand
was buried in the family bueial place,

Definition of a Gentleman.
There is only one strictly technical de-
finition of..gentleinan, a man entitled to
bear coat armor. In the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries it was used
with this significance, and the second-
hand bookstall hunter will occasionally
find Soandso, "gentleman," written on
dusty and stained flyleaves.
But this definition has dropped out,
for now any ono may use arms who
chooses to pay an 11,TMS license. The in-
land revnue takes pew guinea or two
guineas without inquiring as to your
right to bear arms. And though the
Herald's College has the right to grant
arms to those ,who can afford. to pay the
necessary fees it cannot prevent people
from using arms to which they have no
right.—London Chronicle.
