Jones, calmly, and proceeded to un-
lock the pantry door and produced
coffee sufficient for breakfasting a
regiment Then he walked calmly
up stairs and waited. Hours rolled
on; nothing came into the DINING
room but smoke. Mr.. Jones knew
too much to ring the bell this time.
He went down stairs again and pene-
trated the cloud of smoke that filed
the kitchen.
SIS breakfast almost ready, Nora ?"
he said.
"Sora a happorth p said Nora, 1.-THE
fire won't light"
"1t's this damper," said Mr.. Jones.
It's pushed the wrong way" And he
altered it.

said Nora, "to be learnt now about a
fire by man."

"Harken to him. said Nora through
the smoke
Mr.. Jones retreated. An hour
afterwards breakfast was served
the steak a cinder; poor Mrs. Jones's
tea, davorless warm water, no coffee
whatever, and the eggs too soft to be
eaten. AS for the toast, it was
scorched in black bars, and had been
done on -rne gridfFoT on -Snf5h fish

Nora appeared.
"Clear away" cried Jones.
Nora put her arms akimbo.
CLEAR away" said Mr.. Jones as
an officer might cry shoulder arms"
"What?" said Nora.
"Remove breakfast things!" bel.
lowed Mr.. Jones.
Mrs. Jones retired to the sofa and
shut her eyes.
Nora walked out of the room with
grin of derision. Mr.. Jones fol-
flowed her out.
Remove breakfast things" he said,
again.

Nora, "Tll do it when Pm ready.
There's dale to do yet before that
times come.
Mr.. Jones retreated. Mrs Jones
watched him as he re-entere6, with
eyes that were very bright for one
with headache.
"H'm p said Mr.. Jones. 81 suppose
you had rather give orders about
tidying bedrooms and so on, eh ?"
"Oh, no." said Mrs.J ones. II leave
it all to you,"
She shut her eyes again. Mr.. Jones
read the paper. About an hour
elapsed, when Nora came to clear
the table. Thereupon Mr.. Jones
tried his military system again:
"Neatly arrange the whole house, y
he said, with an emphasis on every
word.
"What do you name by that ?" said
Nora, scowling.
Arrange the whole house neatly"
said Mr.. Jones.
"The like O. that" said Nora, as
she marched out of the room. Mr..
Jones followed.
''Did you hear my command ?" he
said.

The Funding Of the National Debt ana the
Chinese Question Discussed.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3-At the meeting
of the cabinet, to-day, the members were
much pleased with the incidents connected
with resumption narrated by Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury Hawley. The
president expressed his satisfaction with
resumption and predicted more general
return of prosperity to the country. The
question of relunding the national debt was
discussed, as the present principal finan-
cial aim of the treasury. The large sub
scription to the four per cent. bonds was
considered a good indication of success.
The Chinese question was briefly
discussed and it was decided that
the secretary of state should open
| negotiations with the Chinese government
for a modification of the Burlingame
treaty, with the view to restricting Chinese
immigration.

It will be apparent to any one, who
will examine SOLID GOLD WATCH that
aside from the necessary thickness for
engraving aud polishing, the large proper
ton of thesprecieus 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. lie 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 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 position, 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 o.
chasing, engraving and enameIine; ant
engraved cases have been carried unit
worn perfectly smooth By time and ust
without removing the gold. These case
