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 stiffep
and hold the engraved portions in place and
supply the necessary solidity and strength.
The surplus gold is actually needless so far
~ utility and beauty are concerned. In

Primitive Jewish Weddings.

The primitive Jews do not appear to
have performed any definite ceremonies
at the wedding, yet they had some sort
of ratification of the vows of the es-
pousal. The day before the wedding
the bride took a bath, which then, as in
more modern times, was somewhat
formal procedure. The bridegroom
on his wedding day was arrayed in his
most gorgeous attire, wearing on his
head either turbln or gold or silver
crown, and sometimes one of flowers or
leaves. He was also highly perfumed
with myrrh and frankincense. The
bride wore long veil which covered
her from head to foot, indicative of her
submission to her husband, girdle and
q chaplet of gold or silver. The time
of the ceremony was generally in the
evening, and the bridegroom, accom-
panied by his friends, and musicians
and torchbearers, went to her house
and brought her and her party to his
own or his fathers house, amid shouts
and sounds of JOY. At the bride
groom's house feast was given, after
which followed music and dancing, the
male guests dancing around the bride
groom and the women around the bride.
When virgin married, parcheH corn
was circulated among the guests to sug-
gest the hope of fruitfulness and plenty.
The last act of the Jewish wedding cere-
mony was leading the woman, still
veiled, to the bed-chamber, where a
canopy, sometimes a bower OF roses
and myrtles, was awaiting. -Chlci3l-

The Streets Of Cairo.

The most populous streets Of Cairo
are more populous and more crowded
than any street in Paris, but their life
is Of different kind. There is no reg
ularity in it; i'll one place the street is
blocked up by group of musicians,
around whom a group of idlers gather;
in another peddler attracts the crowd,
showing the stuffs which he carries on
his shoulders another man, his fingers
covered with rings for sale, displays
them in the eyes of customers. Often
we are stopped on our way by flocks of
sheep and goats, or camels laden with
great stones or beams of timber, that
we encounter as we pass. The greater
part of the passengers in the streets are
mounted on donkeys. How often in
Cairo have l seen the well-known pict-
ure of the Flight into Egypt repro.

pictures; that is. that in the East the

A Deserted Village.

In the very heart of the Adirondack
wilderness is located what is known as
"the deserted village" Fifty years ago
10000 acres of land were purchased by
man named Henderson, and other
capitalists, st. Francis Indian having
disclosed to the party that the region
was rich in ore. A blast-furnace, a
forge, q sawmill, tenement-houses,
store, q school-house and a bank were
erected, and hundreds of thousands of
dollars expended in cutting roads, and
and other improvements. Operations
were carried on twenty-four years.
In 1916 Henderson was accidentally
shot dead, and five years later business
was suddenly suspended. The ponderous
water-wheel and the machinery are just
where they stopped thirty-three years
ago. Wheelbarrows and tools lie
around as though operations had been
discontinued only yesterday. The vii.
lage is now the headquarters of a New
York sporting club, and the greater
part of the year Myfon Buttles, agent
of the club and his family are the only
inhabitants of this once busy spot,

Selling some paper from the proof press
and leaning over the imposing-stone, he

him the lifelong sobriquet of Sunset

Curious Experiment.

Some few months ago 1 filled white
glass lamp, of globular shape, with
clear spring water, placed it in the win
dow at about 10 o'clock of clear morn
ing, in position to receive the rays of
the sun. In one minute, q piece of
black silk which / had placed within
half an inch of the glass, and in the
focus, became ignited. The rays of the
sun can thus be collected through a
body of clear water, and common
white glass lamp may be made to serve
the purpose of a burning lens.
Iplaced in the same lamp, suspend
ed by q thread in the water, several
colored glass beads. A little distance
from the lamp / fixed sheet of white
paper. The rays of the sun passing
through the water and the beads, threw
upon the surface of the paper n va riety
of the most beautiful colors that mag
nation can picture.
