Mrs. LaBgtPy

Mrs. Langtry is the daughter the Rev.
William COrbett LaBreton, dean OF the
island of Jersey and rector of St. Heliers,
and she came to be called the Jersey Lily
through Millais's famous painting OF that
title. for which Lily Langtry stood as the
model. Her husband is an freshman. He
met her while on a Watching trip to the
Channel islands. He is now in this coun-
try. having an interest in some OF the
Western mines. At home Lille La Bre-
ton was a village favorite, through her
kindly nature rather than by her prepos-
sessing face, and while her photographs
are scattered broadcast it is doubtful If
the whole island of Jersey could muster
more than half dozen. Her fame has been
acquired since she went to London. Jer-
sey is the paradise of the English Channel.
Its wonderful growth of roses and other
flowers, would alone render it an object
of interest Its fertility is so notable that
the London Punch once said that the whole
island should be conveyed to the mainland
in flower pots, But apart from its beauty
jersey is likely to best known to fame for
some time as the birthplace OF Mrs. Lang
try. Shortly after her de6ut in society she
became a reigning queen of beauty, shar-
ing honors with Mrs. CORVALLIS West.
the ..Denbigh rose" Mrs. Langtry first
gave evidence OF histrionic talent in a
series of theatrical tableaux given private
ly in society Her first semi-public per-
formance was in aid of deserving Lon
don charity. 1t was witnessed by the
elite. and realized a very considerable
sum. Her success was so great that she
decided to adopt the stage as means OF
livelihood.

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 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 soLIDITY 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 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 ad-
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.

Concerning Certain Relics of the Past-Dogs

I George Stephensons "Rocket," and the magnifi-
cent locomotives of to-day, are built upon the same
general principal; yet the machine with which the
great engineer asonished his age is interesting
only as an illustration of the beginning of the in
vention. There were plasters with holes in them
long before BENSON'S CAPCINE POROUS PLAS
TER surprised both the public and the ply sicians !;
and the triumph of the Capcine is founded upon the
partial successes, the utter failures of its prede
cessors. Everything OF value IN the old porous pas
ter is retained in the Capcine; but at this point all
comparison ends. and contrast begins. For
example:
Capcne is quick and
The old pasters lacked the power TO do more than
to impart slight, temporary relief in cases easy of
treatment; the Capcine penetrates the system and
permanently the troubles for which it is rec
omnlt led.
The old plasters depended for any good results
they might obtain, upon an accident OF their makers
and the naked faith of their wearers; the Benson's
reaches its ends by of the scientific combina
ton of the rare medicinal ingredients which it
contains.
In brief the old plasters, like Stephenson's dis
cared engine, switched off The Track while the
Benson's goes on its way winning golden opinions
from all sorts of people
Yet in this very fact lies the leading danger the
people who buy and use this reliable and scientific
remedy. "Hypocrisy is the tribute vice pays TO
virtue" Imitation is the concession failure makes
