How Watch Cases are MQde.

a plate of SOLID GOLD IA 2-lO karats
fine is soldered on each side of plate of
hard nickel composition metal, and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this plate the various
parts ofthe cases-bacl1s, centers, bezels, etc.
are cut and shaped by dies and formers.
The gold is thick enough to admit of all
kinds Of chasing, engraving, and engine
turning. The composition metal gives it
needed strength, stiffness and soljdjty, while
the tcritten guarantee Of the manufacturers
warrantiug each case to wear t1centy years
proves that it contains all the gold that
can possibly be needed. This guarantee
Is given from actual results, as many Of
these cases have been worn perfectly smooth

A RANCHMAN'S FREAK.
A wonderful Dou,s Wardrobe.

When Mrs. Judge Higley returned
from Arteketa some weeks ago she brought
with her a commission from a friend-a
rich ranchman Of Beatrice, Neb., who is
preparing a very delightful surprise for
his little 1O-vear-old daughter, whose
birthday falls early in September. The
surprise takes the shape of doll almost
as bic as the little lady herself. The
preparation of a wardrobe for it was in
trusted to Mrs. Harry Watkin, the artist
ic dressmaker of Race street Mrs.
Watkin was given carte blanche to pros
vide q wedding reception and walking
dress: tea-gown and q Mother Hubbard
wrapper. two seats of lingerie, boots,
gloves, hosiery, honnets, etc. The result
is a most requisite outfit, made with the
same dainty precision that would mark a
"grown up'' wardrobe The seams of
the waist are bound with silk, and every
seam of the bodices crow-footed with
silk. The haudkerchiefs are Of linen
camhric, hemstiched by special order at
the Women's Exchange. The we'd
ding dress is Of white satin, embroidered
in let, and trimmed with real lace and
orange blossoms. The reception dress is
OF pale blue silk, exquisitely trimmed
with Mauresque lace, and thirteen yards
of silk went to the making of the dress.
With this is an exquisite poke bonnet of
blue velvet with pink plumes, blue silk
hose, and blue silk mits. The walking
dress is a bronze Ottoman silk, with re-
lief of Mandarin yellow, with 4 long
coat of bronze velvet faced with yellow
low silk and fastened with silver buttons.
The Langtry turbgn to 90 with this is Of
bronze crepe de chene with an impyan
head and yellow plumage at the side.
The tea gown is Of white camelette, made
Ia Watteau, the entire front a torsade Of
lace. interrupted bv Knots of pale pink
ribbon. The Mother Hubbard is Of
scarlet cashmere. The opera hat is of
white let, with two pIumes, one of white
marabout and the other gold tipped
The underwear and white null toilet are
masses of delicate lace and needle-work,
every stitch set as daiutily as if for a
baby's christening robe. The entire cost
Of the outfit is close on to $500, and it is
unquestionably the most sumptuous and
thorough outfit ever prepared for such q
purpose. 1t will be likely to create a
sensation aud perhaps revolution and St
dition in high-Iife nurseries in Nebraska.

HYGIENE FOR BABIES.

Food-At a year old The child must be
entirely weaned, and soon he must have
daily little undercooked meat pounded
up into pulp and to which a little gravy
and salt are added; some potato finely
mashed and covered with gravy; an egg
or a little milk pudding. On no account
should he be allowed ans wine, beer, tea
or coffee, though he may have cocoa and
milk. He should be given his meals
regularly, and he should not be allowed
to pick" at bread and butter, cakes and
sweet stuff in the intervals. Children
flourish best on fresh foods.
Clothins-Babies and little children
must be kept always warm. they cannot
be hardened" by scaEty clothing or
cold baths. Their necks, thighs, legs,
need to be covered, as well as their chests
and bottles; they should wear long
sleeves and stockings, and, when old
enough, cotton or flannel drawers.
Fresh Air-Children should be taken
oIt Of doors each cay that the weather is
fine. If they are sent out in perambu-
lator, care must be taken that the feet
and legs are warm to start with, and that
they are Sd well covered throughout the
rice that they are warm on the return
home Every day, unless bitter wind
is blowing, or it is foggy, the windows
should be opened for while, for fresh
air is as necessary for children as fresh
food.
SIeeping-At night if child perspires
freely or kicks off the bedcloihes, he
should wear flannel bed-gown long
enough to be tied below his feet, and the
bed-clothes must be securely tucked in.
He should not be rocked or patted to
make him sleep; sleep should come nat
urally, and, like the food, at natural in
tervals.
Bathing-Morning and night he should
be washed all oyer in warm water, but
should not be exposed long enough to
feel chilly afterward. A handful Of sea
salt, thoroughly dissolved, may be added
to the bath. Except in the very warm
est weather, no little child should be put
in cold bath.-By Edmund Owen.

EXPERIENCE With A CYCLONE.

Mr.. Williams, who lives across the
ZumbrO on the rise beyond the Cole
Mill, was out when the cyclone first
reared It's front in the southwest and saw
it coming To little boy who was with
him, but whose name he does not know,
he said: "Tbat's a cyclone, sonny. You
come into the hazel brush with me.
Catch on to the roots and hang on for
dear life" He had never heard the
word or knew nothing Of its purport, and
instead Of Obeying instructions, sought
refuge in hen-coop near by. The man
watched the three clouds join saw the
work Of destruction commence in the
southwest, and then ran into the hazel
copse. He found a fence between him
and the storm, lay down face to earth and
with the crown of his head against the
fence post, and grasped the hazel brush
near the roots with both hands. He kept
his senses through the storm, but with
difficulty The first gust toyed with him
as if he gfI a whip-iash, beating hin, 81 .
and de- against the ground au3
through tho auahes-but still he clung s.
for his life. There was little luIl, and
then, as he expressed sit, "the dern thing
commenced it's monkey work in airnest.
A lot of boards from some far-off outhouse
was blown on top of him. Then his
body was torn from the earth and his
hold broken, while he and the boards
were driven fifty yards into the copse. A
sort of shelter seems to have been there
afforded, as he escaped without serious
injury, though his abraded face and
swollen hands attest the truth of his story
Of the struggle. When the storm had
passed sufficiently to allow of his walking
he started in search Of the boy. After a
long search, he found him and his hen
coop fully 1000 feet away and on the
other side of an intervening ravine. The
poor boy was demented, and reason had
not yet returned. As to the man who
first found him, he says to all, "Go way
go way; you're sly coon. .'-Roche8ter

THE TELEPHONE IN AMERICA.

+ IHL IIlILI HUME In ANAEAlCA-
1t is an open secret that the adverse
decisions Of the English courts in the
matter Of the Bell telephone patents came
upon the scientific world much as q sur
prise; for, although it is tolerably well
understood that law isnOt always common
sense, it certainly was not expected that
the courts would decree what is virtual
monopoly in favor D! a device which is
simply development Of ideas toe old to
be subject Of q patent. bny special
method of carrying the idea into the
domain Of practical work was q legiti-
mate subject for a patent, but the courts
have granted monopoly Of the principle
and invention is for a time muzzled.
Philip Reiss was the real inventor Of the
telephone, if we must fix upon period
and q man. but, like most other inventors
he derived much knowledge from the
labor of those who went before him, ard
could claim only his special methods Of
working. The Unied States courts have
recently complicated matters by awarding
the patent to J w. McDOu0ugh, of Chi
cago, an inventor whose claim we men
toned some time ago. The facts appear
to be that before the end Of the year 1867
MCDOnough invented and described q
telephone receiver, but did not fle his
application for patent until April 1876,
more than nine months preceding Bells
application which was granted without
reference to McDOnough's previous claim
a fact which should be noted by those
who are so anxious to introduce eEamin-
alton ag a prominent feature in our sys-
TEN Of granting patents; for here we have
clear evidence OF the failure Of tie of1iCi-
ais to discover that Bells invention was
anticipated. What will be done in our
law courts remains to he seen; but the
fact is that the United States courts have
practically decided that all the important
points in connection with the telephone
belong to McDonough and not Ito Bell.
Fhe decision places the telephone com,
panies in this country in a peculiar pO
sition; for while Bells patent holds good
as described, opponents can 60 behind it
as it were, and use McDonough's Ameri-
can specification thus avoiding any claim
which the owner Of Bells patent may
have. The case as stated does not say
much for the business capabilities of the
United States Patent Office officials, for
they granted the patent to Bell when
McDOnough's application had been wait
ing their sanction for months, and as the
original inventor he had obtained con
trolling powers from the American courts.
If arrangements are not made there will
presently be neat little suit and fresh
fight over the telephone patents.-LoD-
don Echo.

"a Vieit 90 the Ethereal StRies-o Df
Illinois, with Hidden Meaning.
In company with Henry Wattesson |
made one more political pilgrimage, this
time to the beautiful home of Judge
David Davis, in Bloomington, H. [ had
been prepared by Henry vivid descript-
i've powers, for meeting a man CT remark
able physique, but | must confess my as
tonishment, when, in answer to our ring,
Mr., Davis himsel came creeping through
the key-hole to welcome us
Its a way | have" he said, laughing,
when | am in so much haste to unlock
the door"
The day was too beautiful to desert
for the parlors, so we wandered about the
grounds where grew, | think, the most
beautiful hedges in Illinois. Under the
shade OF a tree we paused, and as Mr..
Davis, motioning Henry and myself to
seats on a cast-iron lawn settee, seated
himself ona swaying spray Of purple
hearted iuchas / had leisure to observe
him
A slender man, only redeemed from
emaciation by the perfect symmetry Of
his limbs and body with fair, curling hair
that dropped about his delicate shoulders
like the escaping tendrils Of wayward
vine, faint flush just tinting his boyish
cheeks, he produced upon me an impress
sion of ethereal lightness, that | half
wondered if the fragile, spirituelle Great
ure before me were really a mortal, or the
flower which he had made his resting
place. You could not call him effemin-
ate, for his figure had not even the ro
bust development of a healthy woman.
He does not appear weak or in III health
He isa visible Ariel, belonging to the
realms of the air as much as the gaudy
butterfly which he lett our side to chase,
and which moved with a wing scarce less
light and noiseiess than the flying feet of
the graceful statesman who pursued him.
As we came away, [ turned to watch
him swiftly climbing & slender swaying
tree to peep into a nest of wreDs, far out
on a slender branch, and thinking over
our conversation with this eferyescent,
ripping young creature, | said to my
companions:
"Henry, [ think this is absurd. The
people of the United States do not want
a boy, a child who chases butterflies and
climLs to look into birds nests, a boy who
walks on bis hands and turns summer
saults in tie parlor for a President"
Look here" said Henry, suddenly
looking so supernaturally wise l feared
be had rush of brains TO the head.
Look here, there is hidden meaning
to all this tree climbing and butterfly
chasing business, and am surprised that
you newspapes men haven't found it
out '-R06ert j. Burdette.

'NED BUNTLINE'S'' HOME.

A Little Log Cabin I'm tEe EEeurt Of the
~ Gods.
The wildwood home of Col. E. z. g..
Judson, better known as "Ned BuntIine"
in the Adriondacks IS one of the attyac-
tiOnS Of that famous region. The house.
if it may be dignifed by that name. is
constructed of logs in the most primitive
style, and contains but two rooms. It
stands near Eagle Lake at the foot Of
Blue Mountain. AS far back as 1856
Med Buntline" invaded the wilderness
and built his little log cabin in the heart
OF the woods. At that time he was q
slave to intemperance, and recognized the
fact that his safety lay in flight from the
busy haunts Of men. He succeeded in
clearing little farm, and when the cabin
attained the appearance Of a home he
presented it with mistress in the form
OF young and handsome wife The
furniture was of the simplest description,
and the pair were dependent upon their
labor tor the necessaries Of life, but not
withsjandlng these drawbacks they livel
happily, and "Ned Buntline'' produced
volume after volume Of thrilling back
wood stories The war of the rebellion
called the. author from The wildwood
haunt, and he did not return until long
and arduous service had elevated him to
the rank Of colonel. In the meantime
bis wife and only child died, and they
were laid to rest near the cabin. Four
ceuor trees mark their lonely graves.
"Ned Buntlihe' is now Iecturing on tens
perance down among the Catskill Noun
tains, and the Adirondack home has
passed into the hands of strangers. Tt has
many visitors each year, who look upon
the graves beneath the cedars and try to
imagine the sort Of life the little family
led. The thought Of the brave wife who
willingly abandoned home and friends to
help her husband in his battle against
his appetite is invariably a source Of sad
ness.-Bu7faIo Courier.

GOSSIP ABOUT BISMARCK.

4 correspondent writes from Kissin-
gen that Prince Bismarck arrived there
in somewhat sudden manner. Very
few persons, therefore, were at the sta
tion to meet him. On his way to Kis-
singen he was waited upon at Gottingen
by a deputation of former fellow stu
dents. He is looking terribly pale and
haggard; his eyes have lost their former
brightness, and his once upright figure
has assumed a STOPPING position; in Il
word, he locks twenty years older than
be did a few months ago He is so
weak that he could not alight from his
carriage without assistance. He now
speaks continually of his ailments, a
weakness which he> never exhibited be-
fore, and when any one asks him about
The effect of the new treatment he has
been undergoing he always appeals to
DR.. Schwenniger, who invariably ac-
companies him, and in whose skill be
implicitly relies. the history of this
medico is a somewhat remarkable one.
After having taken his degree be prac-
ticed in Munich and became a fashiona-
BILE lady's doctor. His career, however,
was suddenly cut short by his being sen
fenced to long term of imprisonment
on a very grave charge, the scandal OF
which caused some sensation at the time
in Bavaria. His present position is
mainly due to Paul Lindau, who intro
duced him to Count Wilhelm, the Chan
cellor's son, whom he cured by the same
treatment that he is now practicing on
the Prince himself. This treatment, by
the way, is not his own invention, but
is due to Professor Oertel, of Munich.

That the harvest of the world, or the
reaping of the cereal crops of the earth,
says the Cleveland Leader, takes place in
different periods, on account of the differ
ent latitudes and consequent different
seasons, is a we'll known fact; that these
periods embrace altogether more than
three-fourths of the year might not be
known. In Australia, New Zealand,
the greater part of Chill, anG some dis
tricts of the Argentine Republic, the
harvest takes place in January; ill the
month of February it commences in East
India, and, progressing toward the north,
terminates in March-Mexico, Egypt,
Persia and Syria harvest III April; the
north of Asia Minor, China, Japan, Tu-
mis-, Algeria, Morocco and Texas in May.
The following countries reap their harvest
in June: California, Spain, Portugal,
Italy, Greece and the South Of France.
In the other parts Of France, in Austro-
Hungary. the South Of Ru S a. and the
greater part of the United States the
crop is gathered in July. In the month
of August the following countries har-
vest: Belgium, Germany, England, the
Netherlands, aud Denmark; in Septem-
ber Scotland, Sweden, Norway, Canada,
and the North of Russia, the latter con-
tinuing until in October.

IS MAN DESCENDED FROM BEARS?

Frederick G Gherke, Professor of
Zoology and Comparative Anatomy at
Williams College, has arrived at Denver
and been interviewed by a News report
er concerning the theory advanced by
him in his book, "The True Descent of
Man." that man is descended from the
bear. Professor Gherke was graduated
from the University Of Leipsic, and af-
terwards spent several years in England,
where his book was published soon after
Darwin's death, and attracted wide at
tention
The object Of his visit to Colorado, the
Professor said, was to hunt among the
fossil districts Of the State for specimens
that will illustrate his theory, and for
fossil remains generally for the college
museum. 81 am not an old man" he
said, "and [ hope to live long enough to
find the connecting link
Speaking Of his theory as opposed to
that Of the descent from apes, falsely
| called the Darwinian theory, be said:
can ape has none of the characteris-
ties Of the human. An ape imitates-a
man reasons. An ape has four hands,
A man has only two hands and two feet,
thoroughly distinct An ape or mon
key is an idiot. The lower order Of men
are not idiots. They have capabilities of
humans.
"Man is descended from bears" he
continued, with much emphasis. "Do
you ask me if there has been any con-
Meeting links found between men and
bears? [ answer yes, and [ can prove it.
In a museum in Paris I saw a skeleton of
a cave bear. examined it closely. [
was convinced that 1t had partially de-
veloped lrnnn- Dan. Since then ] be-

OF men ever been found in caves? No.
There is another thing. Nearly all pri-
meyal human skeletons found are Of gi-
gantic size The bear is nearer the size
of man than the average ape. OF course,
the gorilla is an exception, but we find
no monster gorilla. The bear could have
gotten rid of his little fragment of tail
much more easily than an ape could Of
his. A tailed man always seemed to
| me about as absurd as a man with wings.
My idea is that the earlier bears
came down through Behring's Straits,
and drifted down toward the tropic shores
of Asia on icebergs. The icebergs melt
ed and the bears easily found shelter on
islands and on the coasts. In the course
Of the ages great floods came and the
bears sought shelter in the caves. In the
meantime great changes had been going
on. The bear had gradually been she'd
ding its heavy coat as the result of the
warm climate. The bear had also learn
ed the dry. warm atmosphere, other
changes took place. The connecting
link was q kind Of hairy, indescribable
man. He often lived and died in these
caves besides his elder brother, the
bear"
