HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

In q SOLID GOLD WATCH, aside from
the necessary thickness for engraving and
polishing, n large proportion Of metal is
needed only to stifen and hold the engrav-
cd portions in place, and supply strength.
The surplus gold is actually needless. In
james Boss Patent Gold Watch Gases this
WASTE is saved, and soIIDITY and
STRENGTH increased by simple process,
at one-half the cost. A plate of SOLID
GOLD is solderel on each side of plate
of hard nickel composition metal, and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this the cases, backs,
centers, bezels, etc, are cut and shaped by
dies and formers The gold is thick
enough to admit of all kinds of chasing,
engraving and engine turning. These
cases have been worn perfectly smooth by
use without removing the gold. This is
the only case made 1uader this process. Each
case as accompanied Nth raid guarantee
signed By the manufacturers aeGrrdnting 1t to
,rear 20 gears 100000 of these Gases
now carried in the United States and
Canada. Largest and Oldest Factory.

-"Oh, my back!" is common ex-

The Beautiful Green Melon.

A beautiful thing it was, and right
green was Mr.. Green, who went down
into the cellar about midnight and ate
nearly half of it. The next day young
Mr.. Green said he didn't want any
breakfast, and thought he would not
to the store. He wished he hadn't
seen that watermelon. By the prompt
administration of Perry Davis's Pain
Killer young Mr.. Green's internal
economy was reduced to a state of
peace and comfort.

Very seldom do we read of an actu-

together been lost, to equal that which
was on Monday investigated by Dis

of miraculous, that had been performed.
VIM. Lincoln Curtis is the name of the
young man in question. He is now
employed at H. K. Porter & Co. Lo-
comotive Works, Pittsburgh. His dis
ease was chronic rheumatism. The
enormous swelling and pain in the
joints of his arm soon produced paraly-
sis of his left arm. He gradually
grew worse, his ankles and knees were
soon even worse than his arms, his
cheek bones began to enlarge, spread
ing his fas out of all resemblance of his
former self. Two physicians pronounc-
ed him hopeless. Peruna cured him.

maximum amount that jury may give

jury gave young woman a verdict
the other day of $75, 900 FOR breach of

persons who suffered at the New York
