How TO TREAT YOUR WATCH.

4O w ~ 41tLh 4OOR w III,
Wind it up atthe same time every day.
Keep it in as even temperature as pos
slble. Sudden transition from heat to cold
may cause the handspring to break. If
you would keep it clean never put il in
any pocket except one of leather. Those
pockets which are lined with cloth, cot
ton or calico, give by certain friction a
fluff, which enters most Watch Cases and
makes its way to the delicate parts Of
the watch. See that the pocket is turned
and cleaned often, and take an old linen
handkerchief and wipe carefully all the
dust from under the backs, bezel and
cap of the case. But above all you must
be sure that the Case fits firmly and to be
sure of this, select one where the paris
(center, backs, cap, &C. are each made
from one piece of metal.
The JAMES BOSS PATENT SrIF-
FENED OR FILLED GOLD WATCH CASE
is so made, and not only does sach a
Watch Case become stronger and fit more
perfectly, but il enables the manufacturer
to turn and form three pieces of metal
1.-THE outer ones being of gold and the
iuner one Of an inferior metal) into shape
for the round parts, making to all appear
anees and practical purposes just as good
Watch Case as the solid gold, at about
one-half the cost to the purchaser.
There are nearly one hundred thousand
of these Watch Cases now carried, and
their good qualities are acknowledged by
the same number of happy possessors.
All Jewellers keep them also illustrated
catalogues for gratutions distribution.

Remember, boys, before you are
twenty you must establish character
that will serve you all your life. As
habits grow stronger every year, any

count famous flute player used to

whatever it is, has SO wound itself
into life that it cannot be uprooted.

ovrRwoRK OF YOUNG BRA1ss.-

OvERwoRK OF YOU'VE BRAINS
A great deal Of nonsense has been
said and written about the overwork
of mature brains, and there are
grounds for believing that an excuse
has been sought for idleness or indul.
gence in q valetudinarian habit, in
the popular outcry on this subject
which awhile ago attracted much at
tention. But according to the testi-
mony Of the most eminent physiolo-
gists there can be no room to question
the extreme peril Of overwork to grow
ing children and youths with unde-
veloped brains. The excessive use Of
an immature organ arrests its develop
ment by diverting the energy which
should be appropriated to its growth
and consuming it in work. What
happens to horses which are allowed
to run races too early happens to boys
and girls who are overworked at
school. The competitive system as
applied to youths has produced most
ruinous effect on the mental constitu
ton which this generation has to hand
down to the next, and particularly to
the next but one ensuing. School
work should be purely exclusively
directed to development "Cram
ming" the young for examination pur-
poses is like compelling an infant in
arms to sit up before the muscles of
its back are strong enough to sup
port il in the upright position or to
support the weight of its body on its
legs by standing while as yet the limbs
are unable to bear the burden imposed
ON them. A crooked spine or weak
or contorted legs is the inevitable pen
atty of such folly.

About month ago gentleman
was walking by the side Of railroad
near Hartford, Connecticut, when he
saw bumblebees' nest in clump Of
bushes. He wondered whether the
warm April sun had caused the occu-

"Well," said the gentleman" ga

there, without spriDging into trot or

The gentleman walked ahead of his
companion, and when be reached the
bumblebees' nest he gave it savage
thrust with his cane and run.
Just as the bees swarmed out the
friend came walking along. He saw
the trap that had been set for him but
determined not to run.
The bees attacked him 10 the face

fore the American Society of Civil
Engineers, Mr.. c. Shaler Smith gives
the results Of many years. observations
Of wind pressure and its effects. He
has personally visited the tracks of
destructive storms as soon as possible
after their occurrence, for the purpose
Of determining the maximum force
and the width Of the path of the
storm in every instance. The most
violent storm in bis records was at
East st. Louis in 1871, when
the wind overturned a locomotive,
the maximum force developed 10 so
doing being estimated at no less than
SO lbs, per square foot. At St.
Charles, in 1877, a jail was destroyed,
the wind force required being "a 8
lbs. per square foot. At Marshfeld,
Mo, in 1880, brick mansion was
leveled, the force required being So
lbs. per square foot. Below these ex-
traordinary pressures there we're sun
dry cases Of trains blown cff rails, and
bridges etc., blown down by gales Of
wind of from "a lbs. to 81 lbs per
square foot. Mr.. Smith observes
that in all bis examples he has taken
the maximum force required to do the
observed damage, and has considered
this as the maximum force of the
wins, although, of course, it may
have been much higher Some of
the hurricanes were very destructive,
the one at Marshfeld having cut
down everything along path 40 miles
long and ] 800 feet wide, killing ESQ
people.

OLD SAYINGs--A greedy man God
hates. A great mark is soonest hit.
A honey tongue, heart of gall. A
hasty man never wants woe. A
hungry man is az angry man. A
great ship must have deep water.
A great reputation is great charge.
A guilty conscience needs no accuser.
A happy heart makes happy visage.
A handful of trade is handful Of
gold. A jest driven too far brings
home hate. A handsome man and a
fool may wear the same cap. A
great mans foolish sayings pass for
wise cnes. A handsaw is good
thing, but not to shave with. A joke
never gains an enemy, but often
looses friend A joyful evening

Boston for generating heat without

about foot long and foot in diane

plate of the same diameter turns, the
pressure being regulated by screw,
according to the power which is to be
applied and the amount of heat de
sired. All OK the space not taken up

in motion the water is brought to
high temperature and the cylinder

went out of the procession to greet him
at his shop door, remembering him as her
deliverer from intense pain, caused by an
attack of collie, brought on through
drinking cold water when journing to
Tenbury on a previous visit. Mr.. FINLEY
on visiting the menagerie the other even

her trunk in such manner as to cause
some alarm to her keepers, but an atfec

MONEY-EARNING WIVES.

1t is frequently subject for thought
and conversation as to why professional
women-actresses, milliners, dressmak-
erS and principals of young ladies' acad-
emies. etc.-have SO much trouble with
their husbands: and it is also frequently
observed that the husbands of money
earning ladies are idle or lazy, OF both.
or are dissipated, or else shrink into
quiet nonentities who are apparently
endured because of the feminine belief
that it is good to have man about the
house anyhow. 1t is certainly true that
the husbands of money-earnlng women
are generally the quietest and most I'M
assuming of their sex-in their domes-
tic life. To some this condition may
appear a cause for merriment and ridi-
Guile, but in reality it involves the serious
question as to whether it is good for
man to marry woman who desires or
will be forced to earn her share of their
income in actual hard cash and not by
staying at home, minding the house and
economizing in groceries, dry-goods,
Gas and fuel \ man who marries with

man would be. and, womanlike, she
wants to crow over it bit. and it fire.
