HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

It will be apparent to any one, who will ox- anime SOLID GOLD WATCH, that aside from the necessary thickness for engraving and polishing, large proportion of the precious metal used is needed not only to stiffen and hold the engraved portions in place, and sup ply the necessary solidity and strength. The surplus gold is actually needless so far as uTIL- ITY and beauty arc concerned. In JAMES BOSS PATENT GOLD WATCH CASES, this WASTE of precious metal is overcome, and the SAME soIIDITY AND STRENGTH produced at from one-third to one half of the usual cost Of solid cases. The process is of the most simple nature, as follows: plate of nickle compost tion metal especially adapted to the purpose, has two plates of SOLID COLD soldered one on each side. The three arc 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 sufficient to admit of all kinds of chasing, engraving and enameling {; 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 SOLID GOLD AND WARRANT ED BY SPECIAL CERTIFICATE.

SUPERsTITIoUs.-"If was an actress, instead of an actor" said well-known professional, T would not play the part of Eleanor Vaughn, in Davy Crockett, for thousand dollars 8 week. Venie Clancy travelled with Frank Mayo sev- eral years ago in that role, and she died of consumption. Then Laura Clancy, her sister, was engaged, and now she is dying of the same disease in Southern California A third Eleanor was Laura Don, and few days ago she sailed for southern France, and her last remark to me as I bade her good bye was that she wonld not live to come back to America. Her physician had pronounced her dis ease consumption. People say that we of the dramatic profession are supersti- tious, but these are facts that ought to make everybody afraid of acting Eleanor Vaughn"

The Granery of the World.

The following from Russian grain merchant is very significant: ''Not- withstanding very good grain crop this year we have now decided crisis in the grain market The United States has squarely beaten us in the European mar ket. Henceforth America is to be the undisputed granery of the world. Un- til quite recently the Russian grain mer- chants believed that their country would become the granery of the world. They are now undeceived. The control of the European grain market in the last five years has been quietly transferred across the Atlantic. The Russians expected this year 127, 200, 900 bushels of grain, 76, GOO, ,OOO more than the whole export of last year. Still, according to their confession, the Russian farmers and grain dealers, and the public at large, are panic stricken. Their whole system of agriculture has been undermined by cheap grain from America. The recent report of the Royal Agricultural Com mission for Great Britain shows scarcely better state of things, and that the state and prospects of British agriculture are anything but encouraging. About one-half of the wheat consumed in Eng land is of foreign growth, while in the last century there was large exporta- tion of wheat from that country. The surplus wheat crop of the United States is enough for the entire consumption of Great Britain, and it can be delivered in London at prices so low as to ruin the English farmer The report of the Royal Commission presents detailed statements of farm accounts that are ex- ceedingly disheartening. If we turn to the last estimates of the grain crop for the present year in the United States we learn that the corn crop is estimated at ,68O, GOO, 900 bushels against l. 194, 916,- 900 bushels in 1881. The wheat crop is 500, 900, GOO bushels against 380, ,280, ,O9O in 1881. The value of domestic exports for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1882, was S733, ,239. 735. The increase of agri- cultural products in ten years, from 1870 to 1880, was nearly 100 per cent. Such |
 country for grain and many other things as the United States is not to be found every day.
 RENT.-A writer on domestic economy
 in the London Queen lays it down that
 one very great mistake which young
 married people often begin with, is pay
 ing too high rent. 'House rent shoulc
 never exceed a tenth of ones income.
 There are few New Workers who coulc , say that. In the same paper another
 writer says that $375 year is large slice to take for rent, out of an income o
 but g., ,250. Here it would be thought quite moderate. More is paid for ren n proportion to other things in New York l than anywhere in the world save St II Tzk

Marvellous Cure of stone in the Bladder
 Large StOncs Removed by "ken-
 nedy's Fav rite Remedy"
 From the Pittsfeld tuass.) EGgte.
 Stone in the Bladderis a very dangerous ail- ment; but many most remarkable cures have of late been wrought by "Kennedy's Favorite Reme- dy"-the invention oi Dr. Kennedy of Ron- dout, N. Y. Another striking case is now added to the list. Mir. Peter Lawler, of Dalton, Mass, states in a letter to Dr. Kennedy that he had been troubled with bladder complaint for l4 years, and had consulted at different times seven physi. cans but nothing beyond temporary alignment of the pain had been worked. Towards the end of last January Mr. Lawler called on Dr. Ken- nedy. Sounding him, the doctor "strnck stone" He decided that Mr. Lawler should first try the " Favorte Remedy" so as, if possible, to avoid an operation. And here is the remarkable result: s'Dear Doctor Kennedy-The day after came home passed two gravel stones and am doing nicely now. If you would like to see the stones will send them to you" This letter bears date " Dalton, Mass, Feb. 6th,' and is signed " Peter Lawler." The stones, which so large as to war rant for " Kennedy's Favorite Remedy" the claim that itis the most successful specific for Stone yet discovered, are now in Dr. Kennedy's possession. Incidentally MT. Lawer also states that the "Fav. orite Remedy" at the same time cured him of . stubborn of Rheum atism; and it is fact that in all affections arising out of disorder of the hveror urinary organs it is searching remedy and works marvellous benefits.
