How Watch Cases are Made.

The many great improvements intro
duced in the manufacture of the Jas. Boss
Gold Watch Case, have led to similar i'm
provements in the making of silver eases.
Under the old methods, each part of a
silver case was made of several pieces of
metal soldered together, requiring great
amount of cutting and soldering, which
soitened the metal and gave it the pliability
of lead rather than the elasticity of silver.
Under the improved methods, each part
of the Keystone Silver Watch Case is made
of one solid piece of metal hammered into
shape. The advantages are readily appar-
ent, for every one knows that hammering
hardens the metal while soldering softensit.
To test the superiority of the Keystone
Silver Watch Case, take one of o. weight,
press it squarely in the center when closed,
and it will not give, while case of same
weight of any other make will give enough
to break the crystal. The Keystone Silver
Watch Case is made only with silver cap
and gold joints.

and requested him to furnish me the best kid
ney medicine that he knew OF, and he handed

WE ALL SAY SO,

Mr.. GEORGE A. BURDETT. No. 165 Front
Street, Worcester, Mass, has just sent us the
following, directly to the point: Being af-
hicted with ailments to which all humanity is
subject sooner or later, read carefully the adj
vertsement regarding the remarkable curative
powers Of Hunts Remedy, and as it seemed to
apply to my case exactly, Ipurchased bottle
of the medicine at Jannery's drug store in this
city, and having used it with most beneficial re-
suits in my own case, my wife and son also COM

proved their health, and we shall continue its
use in our family under such favorable results"

CAUSE FOR ALARM.

ALICE E. CURTIS of Brunswick, Me-, writes
us on May 49, 1883: THAT she has suffered
very much at frequent intervals with kidney
disease, and the attacks were increasing in Sc
verify so steadily AS TO cause alarm. Her aunt,
Mrs. N. M. Small, persuaded her to use Hunt S
Remedy, and after using several bottles Miss
Curtis has been freed from the severe aches and
pains to which she had long been accustomed
and further says that Hunts Remedy never
fails to relieve the severe pains in the side and
intense backache, and Miss c. pronounces it a
real blessing to woman for all kidney diseases,
and she cordially recommends it for the many
ills and pains peculiar to women"

WE may also find in the fast.fading
flowers at least hint and illustration of
the great central truth of the gospel
salvation by vicarious sacrifice. Some
beautiful flower lays down its life that
each luscious fruit and valuable seed may
live, and every berry is preceded by
blossom and every fruit by a flower. So
all fruits of holiness in human hearts and
lives come from the laying down OF the
life of him who was the flower of human
ity, and who died, the just for the unjust
that he might bring us to God.-Rev. b.
b. Lo0mis.

there are compositions deep enough to
drown the worlds penitential griefs. On

WHEAT. GROWING MAXlMS,

Somebody has been at the trou-
BILE of condensing deal of informa-
tion about wheat growing, as fol-
lows. into very small compass. and
somebody else has set it ahoat with
out giving credit to the author:
1. The best soil for wheat is rich
clay loan.
2. Wheat likes a good, deep, soft
soil.
3. Glover turned makes just such
a bed.
4. The best seed is oily, heavy,
plump and clean. :.
5. About two inches is the best
depth for sowing the seed.
6. The drill puts in the seed bet
ter and cheaper than broadcasting.
7. From the middle Of Septem-
Der to the last of October is the best
time for sowing.
8. Drilled, one bushel of seed
per acre: if sown broadcast, two
bushels per acre.
9. One heavy rolling after SOW
ing does much good.
10. For -four, cut when the grain
begins to harden; for seed, not un-
til it is hardened.

NIGHT WATCH WITH A DEAD INFANT.

A lady watching by the bedside of
dying child, the only son OF friend,
wrote the following beautiful senti-
ments, which we were permitted to
copy. ''Moorest thou thy bark so soon
little voyager? Through those infant
eyes, with prophetic vision, sawest
thou life's great battlefield swarm
ing with fierce combatants? Fell upon
thy tinlid ear the far off din of it's
angry strife? Dropped thy head wear
iIy on the bosom of the. siuless, fear
full of earth's taint. Fluttered thy
wings impatiently against the bar OF
thy prison house, sweet bird of Par
adise? God speed thy fight! No un-
erring sportsman shall have power to
maim thy soaring wings or ruffie thy
beautiful pinions. No sheltering nest
had earth for thee, where the chill
wind or sorrow might not blow? No
garden of Eden where the serpent
lay not coiled beneath the branch.
No tree of life where branches might
have sheltered thee for aye! Warm
falls the sunshine on thy grassy pil-
low, sweet human blossoms. Softly
fall the night dews on the blue-eyed
violet above thee. Side by side with
thee are hearts that haYe long ceased
hoping or aching. There lie the be-
trothed maiden, in her unappropri-
ated loveliness; the BRIDE with her
head pillowed on golden tresses,
whose rare beauty even the Great
Spoiler seemed loath to touch; child
hood, but yesterday warm and rosy
on its mothers breast: the loving
father and mother in ife's sweet
prime; the gray-haired pastor gone
to his reward; the youth of crisped
locks and brow unfurrowed by care
the heart-broken widow and the or
phan-all await with folded hands
and silent lips, alike with thee, the
resurrection morn"

HOW IRELAND rs GOVERNED.

The every day executive Of Ire
land consists of an English viceOry
and English chef secretary, a
scotch under secretary, an English
assistant under secretary, with all
Orange Ilish coadjutor. The English
lord lieutenant of Ireland has the
privy cOuncil-the privy council of
Ireland. The title at least is Irish,
but the privy council of Ireland is as
much irish as the castle system is
constitutional The constitution of
the body is as follows: ':TwO pro
testant archI iShops. one an English
man, aged seventy ssix, and the
other an Irish tory, aged eighty
two; two ex> rish clrancellors, nine
Englishmen who have at some time
or other during the century been
chief secretaries for Ireland, and
three ex commanders of the forces
in Ireland There are also seven
peers, of whom four at least are
pronounced tories, four Irish mons
official commoners, who ought to
know the country, for they are all
rejected parliamentary candidates,
a couple of heads of Irish officers,
and several Irish judges.

ADVANTAGES OF BEING a FARMER.

The Springfield, Mass, Republican
thus sums up the advantages of the
farmers occupation:
There are some advantages in be
ing farmer that he ought to think
of these times. His lot may be hard
work and no end to it, but he
is the only man in the country who
can command safety. The fore
handed farmer has always the as
surance of his living, and it may be
a very good living, while he is
equally sure that what he produces
will be wanted for others. And if
times are hard and prices low, he
doesn't have to shut up shop, fold
his unwilling hands, and see his
property deprecated in idleness, as
many a manufacturer does. He does
not need to venture highly. and If
he makes no brilliant profits he
runs no risks, It is estimated from
actual figures that out Of 1000 ira
ders, but seven can acquire wealth.

GOLD AND HOW IT
DISPOSED OF.

| Various papers have appeared, from
time to time, to show that the Con-
federate States possessed no gold or
silver at the close of the late war.
There was a current report that the
members of the Confederate Cabinet
knew nothing of its distribution
However, this may be, the impression
prevails that there was gold, both
coin and bullion, disposed of in some
way in the vicinity of Washington,
Ga. [ am aware that some gentle
men who figured conspicuously in
the closing scenes of the Confederate
Government have given contrary
| opinions. However truthful these
statements may be taken individually,
they certainly differ widely among
themselves.
It was in the vicinity Of Washing
ton, Ga, that the vast wagon-train
accompanying the President was sta
toned, when the last feeble, glim-
mering spark of hope was extingu
ed, and the tottering Government
formally disbanded. It was here that
Davis last called his Cabinet together
in council, and it was here that they
decided over again. that old adage,
that "self-presevation is the first law
of nature" From this time henre>
forward, their motto was leach man
for himself and the devil for all"
Confusion reigned supreme. The
men having charge of the wagons
recognized no leader; the wagons
were plundered and some broken to
pieces and burned. To carry off the
gold was mpossible,and it was hastily
buried, though it is rerorted and
generally believed that MIR. Davis did
carry a large amount with him.
Large amounts of this gold bullion
were buried in the woods and pine
fields in the vicinity of Washing ton
Ga. Soldiers left with the intention
of returning at some future day and
unearthing the hidden treasure. Some
| am informed, have since returned
and searched for what they securely
inferred during the dark and bloody
days that were.
Time had changed the aspect of
the country, and scarcely one can
locate the old camp-ground, much
less tell where. the "Great Bonanza
lies.
Some negroes who were ever prow>
ling about the camps. became pos--
SCISSORS of bars of bullion which the
white people re sdily bought of them;
and am told that iu this way one of
the wealthiest men in the vicinity
procured his money.
Now and then the possession of a
bar of bulliOn in an un0uardod word
will be revealed by some dusky la~
borer. which will throw the whole
country in a furoe of excitement.
Every means has been resorted to
discover from the darkies the resting
place of this valuable and coveted
metal. Some have been suspe nded
by. their thumbs; one was carried to
Richmond, and others found watery
graves beneath the dark waters of the
Savannah.

MEMS BRAIN.

The human brain is absolutely
bigger and heavier than that of any
animal except the elephant and the
larger whales, but in nc other anlN
maIt is there so great variation IN
brain weights of different individuals
rs in man, aud it Is perhaps 5acurlous
fact that the higher the civilization
the wider the variation. That IS to
say, the brain weight in savage races
is more nearly uniform than in en-
lightened nations. While i'll gen
eral way "a. average weight OF the
brain i @r...ter in civilized races, it
does II, Ill follow that the brain is
an ii!.!tarion of the degree Of intel
ligelic.. The average weight Of the
adult European male brain IS forty
nine to fifty ounces. That of the fe>
male is forty-four to forty-five ounces
the difference being fully ten per ct.
Statistics for America vely nearly
coincide with this result. There are
examll les of men Of remarkable in
tellectual attainments whose brains
have largely exceeded the average. as
Culver, sixty-four and half ounces,
and Dr.. Abercrombie, sixty-three
ounces. Daniel Webster also had a
very large brain. That Of Agassiz
weighed fifty-three and half ounces,
not very much above the average.
On the other hand, ,high brain weights
haye also been found where there
was no evidence of superior intellec-
tual capa ,lty In an English insane
asylum nearly ten per cent. of the
cases examined showed brain weight
of over fifty>five ounces. An excess
sively small braiE indicate feeble
intellect, and an abnormally large
one may indicate the same. Between
the extremes there IS a wide range, in
which it is evident that intellectual
power is more dependent on quality
than quantity of brain matter. But
it is estimated by several competent
authorities than in an adult male of
anything approaching average size, a
brain less than thirty seven ounces is
associated with imbecility. In other
words, brain OF lessfs than that
weight will not confer the reasoning
faculty in the civilized Caucasian,
though in uncivilized man: rude in
telligence may spring from a brain
of thirty ounces.-St. Louis Repub>
