How Watch Cases are Made.

In buying a silver watch case great care
should be taken 10 secure one that Is solid
silver throughout. The cap Of most cheap
silver cases Ia made Of a composition known
~ albata, which is a very poor substitute
for silver, 90 Il turns black in a 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 az much as possible Of
che cheap metal Another important point
IN asilver case Is tho joints or hinges, which
should be made Of gold. Those Of most
cheap cases are made Of silver, which is
not suitable metal for that purpose. In
a brief period Il warps, bends and spreads
apart, allowing the backs 20 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.

A great many fathers smile and say,
The young man is only sowing his
wild oats, and wi come all right after
a while" They forget the wrecked
bodies. the diseased mind and the
dwarfed soul that too often come from
wild-oat-sowing. Seeing the world"
in the meaning of the term, has too
often brought sorrow TO a multitude of
homes, and disgrace and personal mis-
cry to myriads of young men which
whole lifetime of right living could
not correct. The moral and physical
wrecks in view attest the truth of all
this. This is not sermoniz,hg-it is
not cant-but it remains true that
sowing wild oats" means whole
harvest of sorrows.
Where shall we spend the sum
mer ?" is now becoming the question
with many wealthy families.

there is scarcely a foot of ground with
