Geneva and Its Watches.

Geneva, like other cities, has its specialities
and its first and greatest is its manufac-
ture of watches. The Geneva watch has at
tanned a world wide celebrity, and though
probably no better than those Of American
manufacture, they are wonderfully fascinat-
ing, and it is difficult to Withstand the attrac-
tons of their show windows. Their exhibi-
ton of ladies' watches is especially fine, and
their prices vary from 500 to as high as you
care &c go, and you are sure to get a good ar
tiele If you pay for one. Another specially
is music boxes, Of which large quantities are
sold every year. There are several estab-
lishments here which deal in them exclusive
", and they are put up il all sorts Of shapes.
There are musical chairs, which surprise you
by playing q tune when you sit down on them,
musical footstools, goblets and trinkets of
various kinds, ranging in price from s5 to
So, 900, and even higher. Geneva has al
most q monopoly of these establishments, for
save one at Berne, | have not noticed any
elsewhere.

As q sculptor.

Of Bernhardt's work as a sculptor in Bos-
publican writes:
''She has almost completed a little statuette;
but, true to her reputation, she broke through
the arrangements first made and proceeded
worked not in a studio, but in the pleasant
apartments of Nine. Rudersdorff, who was
herself the model. The dining-room was
converted into a temporary studio. The sun
light streamed the window, filled with flow
ers and plants. The artist began her work
promptly. There was little Of the close and
careful study Of the head in which profession
al sculptor generally indulge, but into work
she plunged with slight preparation, impul-
sively. She began with some clay she had
brough from New York, but, not having
enough, Jarrett was sent in a carriage to
Milmore's studio, hard by, for more. The
poor q is kept trotting about almost inces-
sanity, but he is philosophical about it.
What would you! he says, 'sheis a woman
Bernhardt went to her work like one who
well understood It; and little touches and
ways showed clearly her familiarity with it:
She worked in a dress Of close-ftting brown
velvet, tight sleeves, open round the wrist;
her re~ddish-yel]oW hair was brushed back
and tied carelessly in a bunch behind like a
school girls; and while she worked rapidly,
skillfully and daintily nursing the s~tatuette
into shape, she kept up q constant chatter
with those about her. Two afternoons she
worked at this; the first before but a few fav-
ored spectators, and the second with several
artists and literary men looking on. OF
course she charmed everybody; she always
does. That is her profession; and she knows
it thoroughly. But she certainly did a fairly
good piece of work. 1t is called a passing
good likeness, and its execution fixes her as
an amateur artistlof merit"

ton at the shop of q leading manufacturer.
It is like the ordinary article except in one
important particular. The breast was COM
posed Of q lattice work, this part of the
structure covering two apertures in the other
wise staunch corset and forming 3 loose sup
port for what is to 90 within. This corset
is in female slang called the "Trembler,
and the name indicates its artful purpose.

its advantages, for It should Be exactly adapt
ed to the peculiarities Of the wearer.

trying to get away and his strug-
giles had frightened the smaller
creatures round about.
As the whale drew near the shore
the men saw the fins and formida.
BILE weapons of large sword-fish,
and moment later a thrasher, or
fox-shark, fastened himself upon
the monsters back. The sword
fjsh was piercing the whale below,
driving him to the surface, and the
thrasher was giving it to him from
above, seeking to drive him below.
When the thrasher struck his huge
antagonist the sound was q dull
thud, and when, missing his aim,
he hit the water. the sharp crack
was heard for half mile. The
waves were beaten into foam, the
whale trying to ply bis tail upon
his enemies, but before he could
get his ungainly body into position
they were out of harms way and
making q new attack upon an un-
expected quarter.
The contest continued so long
that at the point of battle the sea
was colored with blood, but the
whale escaped finally, aud the last
seen of him he was blowing in tri-
umph five miles off the coast.
Many fishing crews rode to the
scene of action and were excited
witnesses of what they declared to
be the most unique spectacle of
their adventurous lives.

full looking faces they brought
with them. Spare no pains or
money in making the pictures

would follow out instructions. The
pictures were finished, but never
called for, and hence it is that you
see this collection. Some of the
men have been married, and the
others, suppose, have forgotten
that they ever wanted portraits OF
