How Watch Cases are Made.

$50
In buying silver watch case great care
should be taken to secure one that is solid
silver throughout. The cap Of most cheap
silver cases is made of a composition known
as albata, which is very poor substitute
for silver, as it turns black in short time.
The backs Of such cases are made much
thinner than those of an all silver case,
being robbed in order to make the cap
thicker and get in as much as possible Of
the cheap metal. Another important point
in asilver case is the joints or hinges, which
should be made Of gold. Those OF most
cheap cases are made of silver, which is
not a suitable metal for that purpose. In
brief period it warps, bends and spreads
apart, allowing the backs to become loose
upon the case and admitting the dust and
dirt that accumulate in the pocket. The
Keystone SilverWatch Cases are only made
with silver caps and gold joints.

Business for Ladies.

The opportunities for ladies to find employment
that's both suitable and renumerative are limited
their pay is usually poor compared with the sal
aries paid to men in same lines Of occupation. But
there are some very noted exceptions; journalism,
the drama, music and platform offer equal advan
tages to men and women, md there is one occu.
patton in which women are sometimes more sue
cessful than men, and that is in the management
Of agencies. In this line The Queen City suspen-
der Company: Of Cincinnati, g., are Offering in
ducemens to ladies that we think ought to attract
attention They alenow manufacturing and in
Producing their new Stocking Supporters for La
dies. None Should be without them; our leading
physicians recommend them, and are loud in
their praise. These goods are manufactured by
ladies who have made the wants OF ladies and
children study, and they ask us to refer to some
reliable and energetic lady to introduce them in
this county, and we certainly think that an earn
est solicitation in every household would meet
with a ready response, and that a determined
woman could make ahandsome salary, and have
an exclusive agency. We advice some lady who
is in need Of employment to send to the Company
her name and address, and mention this paper.

One ofthe crying evils of the
present agricultural situation in
this State is the absence Of all prac.
tial means Of settling disputes be-
tween buyers and sellers on the
grades Of wheat. On this subject
Gov. Hubbard made the following
common sense recommendation IN
his message to the Legislature last
winter:
The grieyious complaints Of the agricultural
class in some sections of the State in regard to
the warehousing and grading Of grain, is subject
that demands attention. The abuses complained
of are Of character that cannot be ignored
though they may not be fully sustained by the
facts in all cases. 1t is equally in the interest of
the buyer well the seller of grain that some
system be devised by which the differences arising
between them may be arbitrated and settled
through agencies entirely disnterested. The far,
| mer now complains that he has option or APP
peal in the transaction involving the disposition
of his product, but must prcforce accept the judg
! ment of the buyer as to its quality and value. A
system eff state inspection which comprehends the
fixing of grades of grain and the adoption of rules
regulating the management of elevators and ware
houses, has been tried with in other states
| 1 recommend a CAREFUL consideration Of this sub
! ject upon your part, and au examination of tn.
methods and results of such system in it's opera
ton elsewhere, with view to Its adaptation L
the exigencies of the situation in this state.
That the Legislature failed to fct
on this timely and practical recon
mendation of the Governor is NJ
fault OF his. That he had the pre-
science to foresee the present con
dition of things, and the sagacity t.
suggest remedy, will be remem
bered to his credit by the aggrieyei
