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, a large proportion of the
precious metaliused is needed only. to stiffen
and hold the engraved portions in place, and
supply the necessary solidity and strength
The surplus gold is needless SO far as UTILITY
and beauty are concerned. In JAMES BOSS
PATENT GOLD WATCH CASES. this
WASTE Of precious metal is overcome, and the
SAME soLlDITY AND STRENGTH produced Ut
from one.third to one-halt Of lhe 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 solder
ed one on each side The three are then
passed between polished steel rollers, and
the result is strip of heavy plated compost
ton, from which the cases, hacks, centres,
bezels, &c. are bent and shaped by suitable
dies end formers. The gold in these cases is
sufficiently thick to admit of all kinds of
chasing, engraving and enamelling the en-
graved cases have been carried until worn
perfectly smooth by time and use without re-
moving the gold.

Burns, Father takes him TO Task


II. II. relates in the September
Century, in her account of ga Burns
Pilgrimage" an interview had with
the poets nieces, including the follow
ing Renaissance "Burns' mother,
too, their grandmother, they recollect-
ed well, and had often heard her tell
of the time when the family lived at
Lochlea, and Robert spending his even
ings at the Tarbolton merry-makings
with the Bachelors Club or the Ma
sons, usui to come home late in the
night, and she used to sit up to let him
in. These doings sorely displeased the
father, and at last he said grimly, one
night, that he would sit up to open the
door for Robert. Trembling with fear,
the mother went to bed and did not
close her eyes, listening apprehensively
for the angry meeting between father
and son. She heard the door open,
the old mans stern tone, Roberts gay
reply, and in a twinklng more the two
were sitting together over the fire, the
father splitting his sides with half I'M
willing laughter at the boys inimitable
descriptions and mimicry of the scenes
he had left. Nearly two hours they
sat there in this way, the mother all
the while examining the bedclothes into
her mouth, lest her own laughter should
remind her husband how poorly he was
carrying out his threats. After that
night "Rob" came home at what hour
he pleased, and there was nothing more
heard of his fathers sitting up to re.
prove him.
