How Watches are Made.

1t will be apparent to any one, who
will examine SOLID GOLD WA~eT1 mat
aside from the pec~~s~fy thickness Tor
en0rav,,,s- polishing, the large proper
ion Of thespreeieus metal used is>needed
only to stiffen and hold the engraved
portions in place, and supply the necessary
solidity and strength. The surplus gold is
actually needless, so far as UTILITY and
beauty are concerned. In JAMES BOSS
PATENT STIFFENED GOLD WATCH
GASES, this WASTE of precious metal is
overcome, and the SAME soLIDTTY AND
STRENGTH produced at from one-third to
oDe-half of the usual cost of solid cases.
This process is of the most simple nature,
as follows:-A plate OF composition metal,
specially adapted to the purpose. has two
plates of SOLID GOLD soldered one on each
side, The three are then passed between
polished steel rollers, and the result is a
strip OF heavily plated composition, from
which the cases, backs, centres, bezels.
&c., are cut and shaped by suitable dies
and formers. The gold in these cases is
sufficiently thick to admit of all kinds of
chasing. engraving and enameliug: and
engraved cases have been carried until
worn perfectly smooth by time and use
without removing the gold. These cases
are for sale by all jewelers., and are guar
anteed by SPECIAL CERTIFICATE to
WEAR FOR 90 YEARS. If your Jew
eer does not keep them, send to HAGsToZ
& THORPE, Ledger Building, Philadel-
phia, for illustrated catalogue.

New Years Punch

notwithstanding the fact that it is pop
ular to be counted a temperance advocate,
especially popular for those who have been
confirmed drunkards, and cannot look
upon the wine when it is rad Without
umbling into the gutter and disgracing
themselves and everybody connected with
them, it is also fact that people will drink;

A Sudden Death.

Fat, the only remedy for obesity, reduces
the weight by regulating the digestion and

That Sleigh Ride.

Some people are born great, others have
greatness thrust upon them. but there are
those who grapple with little of each
and become self appointed leaders lin theil

OF those rare geniuses whose literary tai

those happy moods that come only to greal

bold dash and by brilliant coup de etat
become at once an established favorite
with the ladies and the acknowledged
leader of the boys. So be set about get

recherche social event, when he suddenly
realized that of all the number in

counted on as absolutely sure to go. He
did not smile, nor cry, but the way that he

In their minds, in their minds,
And they wound up with dance
In their minds, in their minds.
The girls were daily dressed,
And Biehl played his best
At the Davis house in Milan
In their minds, in their minds.
