d ,Number of Odd Ways of Measuring
Time.
The oldest invention for measuring time
which history records was the water clock
or clepsydra. Among the ancient Egyptians
various modifications of the water clock
were in use. One contrivance was extremely
simple, consisting of a glass cylinder gradu
ated into twelve equal parts, and having a
the bottom an opening through which th
water escaped in twelve hours. During th
course of the centuries, the water cloc
changed almost unrecognizably from th
simplicity of the original model, as is pro
ed by the description of one which th
Eastern caliph Haroun-al-Raschid sent to
the Emperor Charlemagne.
" It was of bronze," says the chronicler,
" inlaid with gold, and the hours were
marked on a dial. At the end of each hour
a proportionate number of gold balls fell
successively on a bell, which resounded at
their touch, while twelve cavaliers, spring-
ing trom twelve windows, engaged in
picturesque evolutions, and at the last
stroke returned to their domiciles."
The hour -glia was in common Ilse nearly
to the close of the last century, and was al-
ways employed to serve the purpose of ship
chronometers. The clock in the modern
sense only dates back to the tenth century,
and was invented by a French monk named
Gerber, who had studied mathematics
among the Moors, and who in the later
years of his Life became Pope Sylvester II.
This learned friar is credited with what was
really one of the most important of inven-
tions -an escapement attachment ; but
nevertheless, P
er .,les
s his clocks and
, those made for
a long time afterwards were exceedingly
rudimentary. In the thirteenth century, a
Saracen m echanie constructed a clock so
superior to any before produced that it be-
came
FAMOUS THROUGHOUT EUROPE.
A CHAPTER OF SOOTTISH HISTORY.
How one of the Titles Borne by the Prince
of Wales was Acquired by the Royal
Family.
"Kivan " writes to the Edinburgh Scots-
man : In the Weekly Scotsman of the 10th
inst. a correspondent enquires how it is that
one of the Prince of Wales's titles is "Lord
of the Isles," seeing that Lord Macdonald
is also "of the Isles." As this is aquestion
e which I am sure will be of interest to many
e readers, I subjoin a brief account of this
k once powerful family, from which it will be
e seen how the title passed from the Mac-
v- donaids to the King of Scotland, by whose
e eldest son, it has since been retained. My
information is based principally on Towry's
"Clanship and the clans," but 1 have also
consulted other works on the subject where
I found the authority deficient. According
to the Irish annalists Argyle and the West-
ern Isles were from the earliest period of
our history inhabited by a people named
the Gall -Gael or Gaelic pirates, to dis-
tinguish theta from the Norwegian and
Danish invaders. The first king was Anlaf,
the son of Sidroe and a daughter of Ivor,
chief of the Danish pirates ; but the found-
er of the family of the isles was Geilebride
1facGille Adamnan, who had the ill fortune
to be expelled from his possessions by the
Norwegians and sought refuge in Ireland.
Having received assistance from the Mc -
Quarries and McMahons, he afterwards
undertook an expedition for the recovery
of his territories, but was unsuccessful ; and
it was left to his son to retrieve.
About 1326, an abbot of St. Albans, in
England, invented a noteworthy clock, and
some forty years later a clock that struck
the hours was net up in Westminster
Abbey. But in many ways these time-
pieces were very defective, an evolution had
to go on, developing here, suppressing there
till before the end of the fourteenth century
a Paris workman named Vick invented a
clock which cast even that of the Saracen
genius into the shade. From this period,
France rapidly took the lead, and long sus-
tained her absolute supremacy in clock
manufacturing; but, in spite of numerous
improvements, the system remained far
from perfect, even in the fifteenth century.
One of the best examples of a clock of that
period is preserved in the National Library
of Paris. Clock making did not become a dis-
tinct profession until the following cen-
tury ; before that, the locksmith, and even
the blacksmith, had a good deal to do with
the most skilfully, made specimens. The
public clocks, which during the latter half
of the fourteenth century became the pride
of great cities, were for a while so clumsily
constructed that, as some writer says, a
modern French tnrnspit for roasting meat
moves with more accuracy. They must
have been troublesome also to take care of,as
it was necessary to wind them several times
during the course of twenty-four hours; but,
all the same, kings and municipal authori-
ties and citizens were alike proud of their
possession. Before the sixteenth century
ended the prominent cities of France vied
nth each other in the production of
WONDERFUL CLOCKS,
of which those of Rouen and of Lyons are
still to be seen among the curiosities of
those cities. These time pieces were the ad-
miration of Europe, and only Venice and
. Strasburg could venture to hold up their
heads in rivalry. The Strasburg clock,
which ranked among the seven wonders of
media;v 1 Germany, although arm y, a louga
h constructed in
1352, had to wait.until 1573 before it was
altered to the complex structure which still
remains a marvel,having in our own century
been once again repaired -or, more correct-
ly speaking, made over -by a native of the
town, who devoted four years to the task.
During the sixteenth century clocks, al-
though many beautiful ones were made, re-
mained such valuable possessions that they
were considered fit forigifts to royalty, and,
in their descriptions of contemporaneous life,
gossiping old chroaiclersnever mention them
outside of palaces of the wealthiest nobles.
Some of the most graceful clocks ever fash-
ioned belong, however, to that age and it
oan lay claim to the invention of watches,
which were at first portable clocks on a
very small scale. Timepieces were made in
all sorts of odd shapes, of which those in
the form of ships were among the quaintest
as well as the most complicated in their
workmanship. The first mention that we
find of alarm clocks is likewise in that cen-
tury, and there is a record of one which,
when it struck, is said to have lighted a
candle and kindled a fire. "In the seven-
teenth century," writes an excellent author-
ity, " a creat change took place in the use
made of clocks, and a corresponding revolu-
tion occurred in their outward appearance.
Watches, which began to be quite numerous,
were
REGARDED AS ORNAMENTS
and were ostentatiously hung from the
belt. Clock -makers became regularly
attached officers to the French court, and,
in the reign of Louis XIV. enjoyed the
privilege of having their workshops in the
royal palace, and -greatest favor of all -
free admission to the king's apartments.
In 1647, a distinguished mathematician of
Rolland, named Huyghens, astonished the
world by producing a clock with a pendulum
4 conception which speedily revolutionized
the -whole theory of clock construction. In
the seventeenth century, pendulum clocks
were the rule, not the exception ; and, as
they were now set on mantels or brackets,
the backs were no longer ornaments, as ,had
been the case when they were kept as the
principal ornaments for tables.
Ise In the eighteenth century, the most gor-
geous clocks ever seen were manufactured
for royal palaces, especially for those of
France. A clock in one of the rooms in the
palace of Versailles was made entirely of
silver and cased in silver gilt, chased with
leaves, flowers and masks, and adorned
with open-work ornamentation, surmount-
ed by a royal crown and standing on a
square pedestal of silver. There was an-
other in the shape of a scent -box, wonder-
fully ornamented and surmounted by three
Cupids holding a globe topped by a crown.
Louis XV. gave one of his daughters a
clock which some letter -writer thus de-
scribes : " In front of the clock are° a shep-
herd and his dog, and a parrot perched on
a golden twig °frons which hang clusters of
cherries : this stands on an irregular base
composed of leaves mounted on golden
bronze. The hours are enamelled on the
dial, which is crowned by a porcelain
Bacchus."

THE FORTUNES OF HIS HOUSE.
This son was the "mighty m
i ht
y Somerled. Put-
ting himself at the head of the inhabitants
of Morven, he expelled the Norwegian in-
vaders, and soon became master of Morven,
Lochaber, and Argyle, and in order to secure
the Isles for his posterity, he carried off and
married the daughter of Olaf, Norwegian
King of the Isles. By her he had three
sons, Dougall, Reginald, and Angus. Som-
erled now songht a wider sphere for his
operations. After an attempt to secure the
Earldom of Moray for his grandsons, his
next great aim was to depose Malcolm IV
in favor of the "Boy of Egremont" (William
grandson of Duncan, a son of 1Vlalcolm
Canmore); but after many conflicts he was
ultimately repulsed by Gilchrist, Earl of
Angus, and a treaty of peace was concluded
in 1153, held to be of such importance that
it formed an era in dating Scottish charters.
The fiery spirit of this warrior once again
asserted itself,
and i ,p in
n a second and rise
1164 Somerled with his army appeared at
Renfrew on the Clyde, where he was met
by the Steward of Scotland with a large
force, and slain along with'Gillecalium, a
son born of a previous marriage. Gillecal-
lum's son, Somerled II, then succeeded to
his grandfather's possessions in the High-
lands, while Dougall, above mentioned,
acquired sway over the Isles. Somerled II
remained in undisturbed possession till 1221,
when he took part in an insurrection which
caused Alexander II to march against him.
Collecting an army in Lothian and Galloway
the Scottish King sailed for Argyle, but
was overtaken on the way by a storm and
DRIVEN INTO THE CLYDE.
A second attempt, however, proved more
successful, and Somerled was compelled to
retire to the Isles. At the same time Argyle
was raised into a sheriffdom, with Gillespie
Campbell of Lockawe as its hereditary
sheriff. In the Sagas, under the name of
Sundereyan kings, appear the two sons of
Dourall-Dugall Scrag and Duncan. On
these princes refusing to yield even a nomi-
nal homage to Norway, King Haco despatch-
ed his Commander, Cepac, with a fleet to
reduce them to obedience ; but the leader of
the expedition was in reality a brother of
the two men he had been sent to subdue,
and abandoning the service cf Haco,
united
himself to them. Upon thisHacohimself pro-
ceeded against them, and ultimately slew
Dugall Scrag and his ally Somerled II. Us-
pac andDnncan escaped, but the former was
afterwards slain in Bute. Duncan subse-
quently reasserted his authority, and found-
ed the priory of Ardchattan in Lora. His
son and successor, Ewen, continued his alle-
giance to Haco, and when he refused to as-
sist Alexander II. to recover the Isles, that
monarch collected an army and set out to
give him battle, but died at Kerrera on the
8th July, 1249. Alexander III. on attain-
ing his majority, resolved to complete the
designs of his father, and sent the Earl of
Ross against the Isles. Hato collected an
army, and, assisted . by many highland
chiefs, determined to oppose the forces of
the Scottish King, and, if - possible, assert
his supremacy over the territories in ques•
tion. In 1263 both armies met at Largs,
where, as we know, the Norwegian fleet
was totally destroyed, and Haco's
HOPES WERE FOR EVER BLASTED.
Ewen, who during the hostilities had chang-
ed his mind and remained neutral, died
without male issue, and the lordship of the
Isles then passed to the descendants of
Reginald, second son of Somerled I, Upon
the failure of that line by the- slaughter of
Ranald in 1346, it was inherited by John
Macdonald, chief of the Clan Donald, who
had married his third cousin Amy, sister of
Ranald ; in this family it remained until
the failure of the direct line by the death
of Donald Dhu in 1545. The period is also
noteworthy as marking the commencement
of the decline of the great Clan Macdonald,
which now becomes divided and broken into
various branches, James IV ascended the
Scottish throne in 1494, and in his sixth
year of his reign thrice visited the High-
lands and the Isles, and having penetrated
as far as Dunstaffnage and Ningarry, re-
duced most of the refractory chiefs to
obedience. The Lori of the Isles, how-
ever, refused to submit, and the king,
not being then in a condition to at-
tack him in his strongholds with any
prospect of suocess returned to Edin-
burgh, where he assembled a Parliament
which declared the title and possessions of
John,•then Lord of the Isles, to be forfeited
to the Crown. Since that period the title
has been borne by the heir -apparent to the
Scottish throne. Sir Alexander Macdonald
of Slate died at Rome in 1766. and in the
same year his son Alexander was raised to
the peerage as Lord Macdonald of Slate (in
the County of Antrim), and his present de-
scendant, known - to the Highlanders as
MacDhonaill na'n Eillein or "Macdenald of
the Isles" unquestionably represents the
ancient Lord of the Isles.

IA ST, CATHARINES !I-RACLE.
An 01d and Esteemed Citizen Re-
stored to Health and Strength.
11Ir. C. W. IIellems, Sr. Relates the Parti-
culars of itis Sufferings and Relief to a
Standard Reporter -Advice to Other
Saff'erers.
r St. Catharines Standard.
Casually, the other day, the Standard
learned that Mr. C. W. Hellems, sen., one
of the oldest and most respected citizens of
St. Catharines, had been restored to health
after years of suffering, in a manner border-
ing on the miraculous. The editor of this
paper had known Mr._ Hellems for years,
and he was anxious to hear from him the
story of his wonderful recovery. He had
not seen Mr. Hellems for some months, but
met with a very warm welcome when he
told the etrand upon which he had come.
Mr. &llems' home is on the corner of St.
Paul and Court streets, and he is well-
known to all our older residents as a citi-
zen of the highest integrity, having lived in
this city since 1833.
"° I have had rheumatism," said Mr.
Hellems, " more or less for the past twen-
ty years, which often got so painful that I
could not get about at all. I had been to
all the doctors here and to some in Toronto
and Buffalo, but I. could get no relief worth
speaking about. Five years ago I went to
Welland and took a vapor bath, and felt
so much relieved that I took two more. The
relief, however, was only temporary, and
four and a half years ago the lameness and
pains came on again and so completely used
me up that I could hardly do anything. I.
applied to a number of doctors for treat-
ment and two of them treated me but with-
out relief. My age they said was against
me ; that if I were a younger man there
might be some hope for me. I was 84 last
October. I then discontinued the doctors'
treatment and about a year ago got a box
of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People
and used them without feeling any benefit
and quit. This spring I used another box
without any effect and again stopped. You
see I expected too much and seemed to
think that a box of Pink Pills ought to
do what years of doctering did not do.
In July 1 read about the case of Mr. Con-
dor, of Oakville, who had used, I think,
eighteen boxes. When I read that he was
sofully cured that he was able to work
again, and even play baseball, I took
courage andsawthat hnot
h t I had before
giventhepills a fair trial. I then got
half a dozen boxes and was on the fifth
before I felt any beneficial effects. I had
run down so low and my appetite had left
me. I now began to feel my appetite re-
turning and my knees and ankles began to
gain strength. . From that out I continued
to improve until the time of the county fair,
when I went down there in company with
others and went the rounds seeing the stock
and other exhibits. I tried to keep up with
them and walked so much that day that I
felt some bad effects afterwards. But I now
knew where to look for relief and continued
using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and ever
since have felt a steady improvement. My
legs have gained strength wonderfully, and
the doctors tell me if I was a younger man
I would be still more benefited. My general
health has also improved very much. About
six weeks ago I was in Toronto and walked
fully five miles that day, something 1 could
not have done before. In fact I feel so much
better that I have taken a two year old
mustang colt to break it in." At this point
Mrs. Hellems, the life partner of the vener-
able gentleman, who had come into the
room while Mr. Hellems was relating his
story, said that a friend when he heard that
Mr. Hellems had taken a colt to break, said
he was going to commence using Pink Pills
too. Thenthe Standard
the e lady noticing g
man writing at the table asked Mr. Hel-
lems if all this was to be published.
t° Yes," said Mr. Hellems, "if there are
any other poor creatures who are suffering
as I have done I would be glad to have them
know the great good Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills have done me, and be benefited in the
same way. I am glad to have my experi-
ence published for the benefit it may dote
others, and I cannot .too strongly recom-
mend these great pills." In reply to an en-
quiry Mr. Hellems said he had taken three
half dozen boxes since he began to take
them regularly and was now using the fourth
half dozen.
The Standard reporter called upon Mr.
A. J. Greenwood, the east end druggist,
whose store is only a few doors from the
residence of Mr. Hellems, to enquire how
the sale of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills stood in
regard to other proprietary medicines, and
incidentally to enquire what he thought of
their effect in Mr. Hellems' case. " Pink
.Pills for Pale People have a great sale," said
M r. Greenwood, " and I am continually ask-
ed for them. With regard to Mr. Hel-
lems' case I knew that for years he had
suffered from rheumatism and other dis-
eases and that he was thoroughly run down.
He now speaks very highly of Pink Pills
though at first he did not think they were
doing him any good, but that may be ac-
counted for by the hold the disease had on
his system. He now feels like a young man
and is able to attend the various animals,
horses, etc. After he had taken a dozen
boxes he came into the store one day and
started to dance around like a school boy.
' What's the matter, I exclaimed, per-
fectly astonished, and with happiness ring-
ing in every tone of his, voice, he called out,
" 0, I'm young again ; I'm young again.'
He ascribed as the reason for this that
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had performed
the miracle. He has frequently told me
that he has tried doctors without number,
besides other patent medicines but without
any avail. My sales of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills are constantly increasing, and all agree
that these excellent little pills are beyond
praise. There are many people in this dis-
trict who have cause to be thankful they
tried Pink Pills."
The reporter called upon Mr. 4l . W.
Greenwood and Mr. Harry Southcott, the
well knowndruggists,and both spoke highly
of Pink Pills, saying that they are the most
popular remedy in the stores, and that those
using them ate loud in their praises of the
results. -
Dr. Williaans' Pink Pills are a perfect
blood builder and nerve restorer, curing
such diseases as rheumatism, neuralgia par-
alysis, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus' dance,
nervous headache, nervous prostration and
the tired feeling therefrom,the after effects
of la grippe, diseases depending on humors
in the blood such as scrofula, chronic ery-i
sipelas, etc. Pink Pills give a healthy glow
to pale and sallow complexions, and are a
specific for the troubles peculiar to the
female system, and in the case of men they
effect a radical cure in all cases arising from
mental worry, overwork or excesses of any.
nature.
These Pills are manufactured by the Dr._
Williams' Medicine Company, Brockville,'
Ont., and Schenectady, N. Y., and are sold
only in boxes bearing the firm's trade mark
and wrapper, at 50cts. a box or six boxes
for $2.50. Bear in mind that Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills are never sold in bulk- or by the
dozen or hundred, and any dealer who of-
fers substitutes in -this form is trying to de-
fraud you and should be avoided. The pub-
lic are also cautioned against all other so-
called blood builders and nerve tonics, no
matter what name may be given them.
They_.are all imitations whose makers hope
to reap a pecuniary advantage from the
wonderful reputation achieved by Dr. Will-
iam's Pink Pills. Ask your dealer for Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and
refuse all imitations and substitutes.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills may be had of
all druggists or direct by mail from Dr.
Williams' Medicine Company from either
address. The price at which these pills are
sold :hakes a course of treatment compara-
tively inexpensive as compared with other
remedies or medical treatment.
