COT. DalIluOre Americana .f
Among the other churches visit
ed to-day was the chapel of the
.Oapuchin monks, which has several
fine paintings, among which is the
famous one Of st. Michael claiming
Satan, by Guido, and of Christ be-
ing tempted and crowned with
thorns, by Della Motto. The most
interesting sight in connection with
this chapel is a visit to the base
ment under the church, where the
Monks Of the Order we're all buried
until very recently. This consists
of four low chambers, on the floor
Of which there are about twenty
graves, with a little card tied to a
stick upon each of them, giving
the name and the date of death Of
the occupants. Until the adoption
Of a recent lawforbiddin the burial
of any one within the walls Of
Rome, except the oking and the
pope, this cellar was the only burial
place Of the monks of this order,
the earth being said to have been
brought from Jerusalem. y The
manner Of burial was that, when
these twenty graves were filled, the
bones Of No. / were removed TO
make room for any new claimant to
the earth who might die. The
next Of a member OF the order re-
quired Nos2 to give up his grave to
the newcomer. This has been 90
ing on until there repose the bones
and skeletons Of no less than 1000
monks in these four small cham
bers, each one of which is only
about twenty feet square. The
excluded bones and skeletons were
then piled up around the walls in
the most quaint arches by the
monks, and such as were in the
best state of preservation arc
stretched out at full length in thoil
; black shrouds, in inches made in
these piles Of bones. Some of thesC
latter have their boards and hail
intact, and each has a card pinned
to tho black shroud, giving thu
name and date OF death. The walli
! and ceilings are ornamented with
artistical skill with the vertebra
and small bones of the dead monks
and chandeliers made of bones arr
! hung from the ceiling. Visitor
are expected TO give a franc to the
: custodian for each party of visitors
: and this undoubtedly yields a goot
revenue, as everybody who visits il
, sure TO see the Capuchin cemetery

How Watches are Made.

1t will be apparent to any one, who
will examine SOLID GOLD WATCH that
aside from the necessary thickness for
engraving and polishing, the large proper
ton of thespreceus metal used is needed
only to stiffen and hold the engraved
portions iD place, aud 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
CASES, this WASTE of precious metal is
overcome, and the SAME SoLIDITY AND
STRENGTH produced at from one-third to
one-half of the usual Gust 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 il
sufficiently thick to admit of all kinds OF
chasing. engraving and enamellinR: and
eHgraved cases have been carried until
worn perfectly smooth by time and use
without removing the gold. These cases
are tor sale by all jewelers., and are guar.
anteed by SPECIAL CERTIFICATE to
WEAR FOR 20 YEARS. If your lew.
eler does not keep them, send to HAGsTo7

FROM J. A. TYNEs, A WELL KNOWN
CITIZEN OF WILSON, N, C.-My wife had
suffered for ten or twelve years with a

hair to fall out and get very thin and
turned grey, but after using London

cured and the grey hair restored to its
natural color, the hair stopped falling
out and is growing beautifully. By
telling of the effect it had on the head
of my wife | have induced number
to try it, and l want you to send me q
dozen bottles by express. l enclose
postotIice order for SIS to pay for it.
