Watches and Babies.

three little points on which every watch
with half II claim to respectability is
sensitive-winding, position and tenn

only once in twenty-four hours, and al
ways at the same hour if possible. The
winding is the watch food. 1t requires
that winding as much as a baby does it's
pap-though somewhat less frequently.
Wind it gently, just as you would feed
a baby. No intelligent person who was

Last comes the consideration Of tenn

Would mother do this all day and

OF course she wouldn't. Yet a man

in his vest-pocket for fifteen hours and
then leave it nine hours on the wash
stand, where it practically freezes. The
result, is that while warm and, nicely

nuity can make it, but the tremendous
thermal differences it is exposed to by
this treatment is considerably beyond
its limit. :"
Another point in the welfare of a
watch was given. "A fine watch should
never be loaned. Constantly worn by
the same person, a watch accustoms it,
self to its owners movements and hab-
its-his walk, his temperature, his way
of carrying 1t, etc. Given in hands Of
another, it will Immediately begin to
gain or lose, greatly to everybody's
surprise. Tinkering with the regula-
tor doesn't improve it, for just as it
slows down or crowds on more steam,
the watch goes back to its rightful
wearer and gets in fresh trouble"

often to be in sweet fellowship of i'm
becility with those for ventilating them.
To heat up heads with stove-pipes rum
ming just above them, and half freeze
feet on floors that never get warm. is a
common and almost perfect device for
preventing pupils from studying to any
good purpose. The simple expedient
of putting inexpensive heating appara-
tus in a furnace basement, or still cheap.
or hot air fixtures around the ordinary
stove, would make one day of school
worth two in the common conditions.
No manufacturer would be slow in
adopting cheap contrivances that would
double the product and profits of his
mill. No farmer would hesitate to pay
a good price for the fertilizer that
would double the yield of each acre.
But spending money to increase the
gains of the school-room-that's another
thing. 9 9fp3l1a'fHla ~ -
We must not dwell at length on other
prevalent schoolhouse defects which
this report sets in the pillory. There is
the faulty arrangement of desks and
black boards in reference to the light, or
more correctly the faulty location of the
windows themselves, by which more or
less eyes are sure to be injured.
~ Not one reports any provision for dry
ing wet clothing in bad weather. Then
there are the instruments of torture in

Among the facts brought to light by
the recent United States survey of the
great lakes and Mississippi River is the
existence of moving sane waves in the
stream. Those near Helena, in water
from thirteen TO thirty feet deep, the
report says, are moving down the river
at an average rate of eighteen feet day.
These sand waves have an average
length, counting from crest to crest, Of
about $50 feet, an extreme length of
about 500feet, and an average height Of
about five feet, and an extreme height Of
eight feet from valley to crest. g61 ii..
The existence of sand waves of such
large dimensions, and moving with such
velocity, does not. seem to have been
observed before on the lower Missis-
sippi.-Macon Telegraph.

my how things viii happen somel

Funny how things will happen some-
times. Messrs. Gallagher and Ragbag
are strangers, and the other day they
went down to. o.see old Mr. Crops, who
is very deaf. Neither knew Crops, but
both were aware of his infirmity. Rag
bag reached the place aud found Crops
out, but sat down to wait for him. Pres
emily Gallagher came in Each thought
the other to be Crops. Ragbag went
up to Gallagher, put his mouth to that
gentleman's ear, and in "a loud voice
cried: ""Got anyhogs~to -sellp'' The
yell made Gallagher jumpliket . steer.
and at first he was mad. But he recol-
lected that deaf people talk very. loud
and so placing his mouth. at Ragbag's
ear he roared: 8 want to buy mule"
That nearly split Ragbag's head and he
jumped in good ishape.sf. Then he saw
that he wasn't understood and yelled
louder: o." Hogs are the things to deal
in.' and then Gallagher saw that he
wasn't comprehended and, cried, az

might fire a cannon beside him and he
wouldn't noticeit," said Gallagher. An
explanation ensued. Then. the disgust
of both men was painful to behold.
Each said the other was ani idiot and
altogether to blame in the matter, and
it was hard work to keep them from
fighting. They united, however, IN a
request that the matter be kept secret,
