How Watch Cases are Made.

This process ofmanufacture was invented
by James Boss, who started in business in
1854, and the methods and tools used in
making these watch cases are covered by
patents. This is the only uatch case made
under this process. For many years the in
PRODUCTION of these goods was slow, owing
topopular prejudice against "plated" goods,
but gradually the public learned that the
James Boss Gold Watch Case was not o
cheap gold-rashed or clectro-plated article,
but was made of genuine gold plates Of
standard quality and thickness. Conscientious
adherence to the determination to make
the best watch case ever put on the market,
and the adoption Of every improvement
suggested, has made the James Boss Gold
Watch Case the STANDARD. ,.,u Y w,x
In this watch case the parts o q
most subject to wear-the bo,e, eroun, hinges,
thumsb-catehes, etc., are made of SOLID GOLD.

Superiority OF Baked Meats.

Always keeping in view that the

the temperature throughout 70 the

this problem the laws Of vapor diffu.

thoroughbred Englishman that baked
meat is better than roasted meat by
any reasoning whatever. II, however,
he is sufficiently 'un-Englsh" to test
the question experimentally, he may
possibly convince himself. To dc
this fairly, a large joint should be
equally divided, one half roasted in
front of the fire, the other in a non
ventilated oven over little water by a
cook who knows how to heat the la
ter. This condition is essential, as
some intelligence is demanded in regu
lating the temperature of an oven,
while any barbarian can carry out the
modern modification of the ordinary
device Of the savage, who skewers a
bit of meat, and holds this near
enough TO a fire to make it frizzle.

why, the pesky flies. You've got
'em by the thousand here, and the fly
season has only begun. Shall put

What for?'
To keep the flies out.
Why should l keep der flies out?-
Flies like some chance to 60 aroundt

If a fly ish kept oudt on der street all

Yes; they are a great nuisance. I'll

Not any for me. If a fly WANTS to

From the Columbus Herald, Republican,
The $50, 900 Story.

Gov. Foster told a Washington in
terviewer that Judge Hoadly had ac-
knowledge that his nomination cost
him $59,000.
Judge Hoadly thereupon wrote to
Foster denying that he had ever made
such acknowledgement or that there
was any truth in the story.
Gov. Foster replied that lnforma-
ton 10 that effect had been given him
in confidence by another person.
Judge Hoadly demanded the inform
er's name and branded the informa-
ton as false Sin whole and in part"
Gov. Foster then furnishes letter
from "Jayhawker," in which the lat
ter asserts, not that Hoadly told him
his nomination cost $50,o0O; but that
he (Jayhawker) told Hoadly so! and
Hoadly, instead of confirming it, said
that would be too much money for
any nomination for any Office.
This is absolutely all the proof there
is against Judge Hoadly in regard to
the matter; and yet on this foundation
we have so respectable paper as the
Ohio State Journal, asserting one day
that Hoadly has never denied the sto-
ry, and calling upon him the next day
to disprove it'll
The truth is that the silly SANDER
has no backing whatever. 1t does not
even have that of "Jayhawker," in
sufficient as that would assuredly be-
In the shape in which it came from
Gov. Foster, Judge Hoadly did deny
it, and in the most emphatic manner.
When Foster fell back on "Jayhawk-
er," and the latter failed to confirm
the story, there was nothing whatever
left for Hoadly to deny.
What, then, do certain men who call
themselves Republicans man by per-
severing in this puerile and baseless
falsehood? Do they not know that
Republicans generally are men who
love truth and fair dealing in politics?
Do they suppose Republicans are so
ignorant that they know not how to
tell fact from fiction? Do they think
that men have become so lost to de-
cency and honor that they prefer a
falsehood to the truth?
If they think thus, we tell them they
are mistaken. Already we believe this
wre.ched piece Of business has done

You Cali not get rid Of the figure

is sure to turn up again. as was the
body of Eugene Arams victim. One
remarkable property of this figure
(said to have been discovered In 1884, }
is that all through the multiplication
table the product of nine comes to
nine. Multiply by what you like and
it gives the same result Begin with
twice nine Is; add the digits together,
and | and s makes 0; three times nine
are %; AMI . and are nine. So it
goes on, up To eleven times times nine,
which gives 80, Very good; add the
diglts; 9 and 8 are Is, and s and |
are 8. Going on to any extent, it is
impossible to get rid of the figure
nine. Take couple of instances at
random. Three hundred and thirty
nine times nine are 3,0l5; add up the
figures and they are nine. Five
Thousand and seventy-one times nine
are 5,639; the sum of these is 81; 2
