The blind world stumbleth on its round of

We are the voices Of the wandering wind:
Wander thou, too, o Prince, thy rest to

Leave love for love of lovers, for woes

Quit state for sorrow, and drliyerance

Natures Housekeeping.

Nature has many of what we are
accustomed to call the snail econ.

without % purpose, and she has IA
horror of waste. In the world of
living beings, particularly, is she
careful of her materials. 1t is no
easy lift TO bring matter up to the
organic level. She has to call in
the sun to her assistance, and get
their united shoulders under the
load. ere it can be raised to the re.
Quired height; and she cannot afford
to let it down again while there is
any pith left in it.
1t is interesting TO follow her
through this portion of her house
keeping, and watch the care with
which she gets all the life force pos.
sible out of her organic stock in
trade, letting not a crumb 60 to
waste. She invites guest with a
special appetite for every morsel-
guests furnished with teeth to rend,

and chisels to bore and gonge, saws,
drills, punches and suction-tubes-

A Judges Charge, with Variations.

The following comes from Geor.

the way he got mixed in his charges
to the jury. On one occasion q case

Smith brought suit against Jones
npon a pronissory note given for q
horse. Jones' defence was failure

ut the time Of the purchase the
horse had the CHAMBERS, of which
he died, and that Smith knew it.
Smith replied that the horse did
not have the CHAMBERS, but the dis
temper, and that jones knew it
when he bought il. The Judge
then charged the jury. "Gentle-
men of the jury, pay attention to
the charge Of court! You have al.
ready made ono mistrial of this

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, large proportion of the
precious 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. In
JAMES BOSS PATENT GOLD WATCH
CASES, this waste of precious metal is over
come, and the SAME soLIDIrY 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 nickle composition metal, especially
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 strip of heavy
plated composition, 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 adj
nit of all kinds of chasing, engraving and
enamelling; the engraved cases have been
carried until worn perfectly smooth by time
and use without removing the gold.
THIS is THE ONLY CASE MADE
WITH TWO PLATES OF SOLID GOLD
AND WARRANTED BY SPECIAL GER
TIFICATE.
