How Watch Cases are Made.

This process ofmanuiacturc was invented
by James Boss who started in business in
1854 and the methods and tools used in
making these watch cases arc covered by
patents. This is The only catcl case made
under this process. For many years the in
PRODUCTION Of these goods was slow, owing
topopularprcjudice against plated goods,
but gradually the public learned that the

cheap goi3-udslci or cicctro-piotcd article,
but was made Of genuine god plates Of
standard quality thickness. Conscientious
adherence to the determination to make
the best watch case ever put on the market,

suggested, has made the James Boss cold

Agricultural.

We have been looking in the apple trees
and are somewhat disappointed Mt what we
find there, or rather what We fail to find.
Thoro will be Tower apples than the blossom
ing time promised. A large number Of trees
aro entirely destitute Of fruit, whilo thcro are
few that bear full. In some localities there
may be an abundant crop, but reports gener-
ally indicate a light one. When the apple
trees were in blossom better yield Of fruit
than we had last year was predicted, but, as
far as we have Observed it will not be as
good. 1t often happens that when the fruit
is thin the quality is improved; so il we are
not to have many apples this year. we may
still hope for a superior quality, though this
is not always insured by thin bearing. We
have known apples to be very poor and knur-
ly in season of light-boaring

SOME WAYS OF WOMEN.

There are some things which it seems al
most impossible for some women to learn,
chiefly because they won't; and you might
as well din away at cast iron monkey as
talk about them. There, for instance, is the
habit of carrying money in the hand out of
loors If man walked the streets with q
gold watch or a roll of greenbacks held care
lessly in his hand he would be set down as a
fool. As a matter of course, he would be
robbed, and ii would serve him right Wo-
men, though, thousands of them, walk the
streets every day with purses and pocket
books containing money in their hands, and
if an enterprising thief comes along and re-
lieves them of their little burden, generally
with violence, as might be expected, whew,
what time they make about it Where
are the police? Is our civilization failure
and are law and order played out2 Quite
fuss is going on about one of these pocket
book cases just now. For my own part
am not bit sorry that the thief got away.
Women have been told q thousand times not
to carry their pocket-books in their hands,
but they keep right on doing it all the same.
Another thing they keep on doing, though
they have been told over and over to stop it,
is taking hold of the platform rail when get
ting ON or off street cars, and thus inviting
tumble in the mud If the cars moves
the chances are nine in ten that they will go
down if they don't let go, aad of course they
Won't do that. II they took hold of the rail
attached to the body of the car, it would be
all right, but they don't do that either. And
then, there's the atrocious habit of putting
pennies and other coin in their mouths l
think half the women in New York do it. /
see it done every day. In paying fare, or
using small coin in any way the pennies,
nickels or dimes are taken between the lips
half the time. Who knows how many
mouths they have been in, or what dirty
paws have handled them? A ferryman said
the other day that nine-tenths of the women
and little girls, too-put the pennies in
their mouths before paying their fare. The
habit is abominabh. Imagine rosy lips Of
blooming beauty, with the faint of dirty cop.

LAWYERS HARD NAMES.

irving Drowile acIiJWIeugus 1ii,s, n niss
long been favorite amusement of numeri-
cally considerable part of mankind to call a
lawyer liar, and he goes even further and
says it is not always in joke, but that good
many times there is serious meaning at the
bottom OF the charge. The reason he Ms.
signs is n curious one. He says "The
mass of men do not love men who are able
to get living and attain honors without the
use of money or muscle. The capitalist
thinks very little of those who do not lean
upon capital the merchant has no great
respect except for the results of trade; tho
mechanic is envious of one who is not
obliged to toll with his hands. And so there
is continual chatting of professional men,
who are only tolerated when they are indis-
pensable." We imagine that it is not neces-
sary to go so far for reason for this pecu.
liar opinion in regard to lawyers in general
People for the most part do not understand
the rules which govern the legal profession
They do not stop to think that criminal
has right to have his own side of the case
presented, anu thhV IL is hls counsclh uuty
to put it in its most favorable light. They
assume the guilt of the criminal, and regaid
his counsel as in league with him to defeat
the ends of justice. And there are undoubt
eddy instances when blind popular opinion is
In the right Technicalities of the law,

lous members of the profession, have often
been the means of defeating the ends OF
justice; and there is class of lawyers-by
no means small ore-whose motto is "suc
cess by any means" These are the men
who bring discredit upon the profession, and
who impress the numerically considerable
part of mankind" to regard "lawyers az
liars. "-Boston Transcript

ORIGIN OF THE BARBER POLE.

In the records of the English Parliament
for the last century we read that Thurlow,
when he opposed the Surgeons Incorporation
Bill in the House of Peers, on July 17,1797,
stated that, by statute still in force, the bar
bers and surgeons were each to use a pole
The BARRIERS were to have blue white striped,
with no other appendage; but the surgeons,
which were the same in other respects
were likewise to have gallipot and red
rag to denote the particular nature of their
vocation.
The origin of the BARRIERS poles is to be
traced to the period when the BARRIERS were
also surgeons, and practiced bleeding. To
assist this operation, it became necessary
for the patient to grasp q staff stick or
pole was always kept by the barber-surgeon
together with the fillet or bandage he used
for tying the patients arm. When the
pole was not in use, the tape was tied to it,
nat they might be both together when
wanted.
Onaperson coming to be bled, the tape was
disengaged from the pole and bound round
the arm, and the pole was put into the per-
sous hand. After the operation was con-
cluded, the tape was often hung at the door
for sign or notice to passers-by that they
might there be bled. Doubtless competition
for custom was great, for our ancestors be.
lieved thoroughly in bleeding, and they de-
manded the operation frequently. Atlength
Instead of hanging out the identical pole
used in the operation, pole was painted
with stripes around it, in imitation of the
real pole and bandage, and thus came the
sign.
That the use of the pole in bleeding was
very ancient appears from an illumination in
a missal in the time of Edward I. In other
ancient volumes there are engmvings of the
ike practice. "Such q staff" says Brand,
who mentions these graphic illustrations,
is to this very day put into the hands of
patients undergoing phlebotomy. by every
village practitioner.

THE HUMBLE CLAM,

1t must BIO very gratifying to tho English
people to find that an effort is being made to
transplant the humble bivalve the clam,
from our shores to English sands, for it
must be admitted that very palatable and
agreeable dishes may be "served up" from
them. The Herald says:--
"Many Englishmen have the habit OF
speaking pityingly Of this country and all Its
products, but they ore sometimes quite
different in their manner of speech when
things distinctively American become British
property. This apparent contradiction Of
character is brought to mind by tbs entirely
justfiable rejoicings of some of our English
cousins over the probability that the Ameri.
can hard clam is living although in limited
numbers in British waters. 1t appears that
several efforts have been made to transplant
this humble denizen of our shores TO English
sands; but no one seems to have known the
habits of the creatures, for the seaches after
results seem to have been made in deep
water. Enough fresh shells were found,
however, to make naturalists certain thai
lives clans where somewhere about. II the
indications are fulfilled England should be
congratulated, for the clam, in addition to
being very toothsome and being quite SER
viceable in bills OF fare yields a given guam
tity of food with less outlay than any other
shellfsh. Englishmen already eat American
oysters, beef, pork, mutton, game, bread,
butter and cheese, and drink large quantities
of American liquors, although these latter
are first doctored in France. When they can
add our ciam to the long list it will be time
to begin to look for the entire reconstruction
Of the English physique after the unapproach'
able American model"

appointment as "a cook lady" in the family
Of Col Yerger. A few evenings ago Ma
tilda came into the parlor, where Mrs. Yer

had very sly expression on her face, and

Yerger.

PRISONERS RUSE.
Eating Soap and Becoming so Emaciated
Tnat the DO tors Were Deceived.

A case almost unprecedented in this State
las just occurred in the Office Of Governor
Foster, which ia no more or less than the
revocation of n pardon Internationally grant
cd by Governor Foster on the 10Th of October
last. The party is Isaac Knapp, who, at the
October term, 1871 of the Sandusky Com
mon Pleas Court was convicted of murder
in the second degree and sentenced to the
penitentiary for life. The pardon was grant
ed ont certificate of DIR. Gay, who said the con-
Wet was suffering from tuberculous degenera-
ton of the lungs and was in imminent dan
ger Of death. Warden Thomas conceded
with the views of Dr. Gay.
1t has been recently ascertained that the
pardon was secured by fraud, and that Knapp
had been chewing soap for some time in the
prison, thus causing the frothy sickly hue OF
his countenance, which might be mistaken
for tuberoulous degeneration of the lungs
Immediately after reaching home Knapp
boosted how he "beat the pen," rs he term
ed it, and in a few days he was apparently
as well and hearty as any man in Fremont.
He loved to tell the modus operand OF
his anti-fat process, and dlated on the way
he ate the soap furnished to convicts. Since
his pardon he has been in all kinds of trouble
ut Fremont, ruling everybody and everything
with high hand, and it was on the petition
of a large number of prominent citizens OF
that place that the action of the Governor
vas predicated.
But once before in the history of Ohio has
sach course been taken. During tho ad.
ministration of Governor J. ID. Cox, sim
liar thing was done and the prisoner returned
70 the Penitentiary. Legal advice taken by
Governor Foster has been to the effect that
a. the pardon was secured by fraud, it is
without any force or effect and Knapp was,
therefore, an escaped convict He has haan
taken into custody.

ACuRIoUs JAPANESE CLOCK.

There is curious clock in japan. This
.locb, in frame three feet high and five
long, represented noon landscape OF great
loneliness. In the foreground were plum
and cherry trees and rich plants in full bloom,
in the rear gradual ascent, from which
flowed cascade admirably initiated in crys-
tel. From this plant a thread-like stream
glidod along, encircling in its winding rocks
sud tiny islands, but presently losing itself
in a far-off stretch of woodland. In the sky
turned golden sun, indicating as it passed
tho striking hours, which were all marked
in the scale below, where slowly-creeping
tortoise served as hand. A bird of exquisite
plumage, resting by its wings, proclaimed
the expiration of each hour. When the song
ceased a mouse sprang from grotto near by,
and, running over the hill, hastily disap-
peared.
