Watches.

We set down the American trade,
though a creation of the last thirty
years, as three times the English in
amount. The English trade, 1t de-
clares, has now no prosecutions to oc-
cupying the home market. 1t is the
colonies to which English manufac-
turers look, and whereas once they eX-
ported not five per cent. of their wares,
the proportion is now fifty per cent.
CheapneSs has gained the day. The
Swiss and the American can beat the
Englishman in price, and do. They
turn out as good a watch as most peo-
pie care for at a cost which puts Eng
lish competition nowhere. The Ameri-
can leInt the secret of organization
and the Use of machinery, which the
English cannot or will not learn. Here
things 20 ON much as they did 100 years
ago, save that the movements of a
great part of the cheaper English
watches are simply imported from
abroad. \ dozen trades contribute to
the making of single watch, carried
ON under different roofs by separate
firms, often at a large distance from
EACH Otucl. III hulcilCd Lllcl nave Dtc1l
combined, and to this combination with
the added advantage of machinery
and the mathematically accurate pro-
duction of precisely similar parts of
innumerable watches, is due the sur
prising fact that a single American
firm now turns out annually as many
watches as ali the English makers
tOgether-2OO,O00. The swiss are said
to make the enormous number of :, 800,
0OO. France produces over half a
million-ninety per cent. of them from
Besancon. So that, if we leave Eng
land behind, we are very far indeed
from driving Switzerland and France
out of the world S markets. The Swiss
are said to make now million watches
more annually than they did i've years
ago. The French business has grown
tenfold within thirty years. But the
English are not idle, and on the whole,
not despondent. They are beginning
to use machinery, and otherwise
undermining the habits of the trade.
Ana they still pride themselves on being
able 10 produce, If rot the cheapest or

Dying IN Ten Minutes.

Emma Belle Oertel, one Of the most
beautiful and accomplished women in
st. Louis, whose father, prominent
and wealthy citizen, and q very large
contractor, banlshed her from his homs
SIX years ago, came to tragic end
recently at the hands of man named
Dunn, with whom she was living.
In a quarrel at the breakfast table
one morning Dunn threw a coffee cup
at her, striking her on the nose and in
hlcting what looked like a small cut.
He then went to bed and the woman
started out to the -Four Courts to get
a warrant. While the clerk was max
ing out the document she besought
him to make haste, stating that though
tine wound ON her nose was bleeding
but slightly outwardly it had been
bleeding inwardly since 1t was caused.
Becoming weak the unfortunate
woman fell to the ground, and was
gently conveyed to the open air by the
clerk, who had n vehicle summoned in
which to have her conveyed to the
City Dispensary. When she reached
there It was found that she was dead,
internal hemorrage iron the brain be-
ing the cause or her death.
Dunn, when arrested on a warrant for
assault, acknowledged his act and
gloried IN 1t, but when he was informed
that the woman was dead he tried to
take it all back. Only ten minutes
elapsed from tine time the woman was
struck till she died.

Fugitive Females.

Notice of the sudden and mysterious
disappearance of females from their
homes have been SO frequent of late as
to suggest an epidemic of flighty ten
denotes. The disappearance OF wives is
not rare, but there is the almost invari-
able man in the case. So much cannot
be said of the disappearance Of young
girls who apparently have not arrived
at years of discretion. A flight of this
kind lately set st. Louis society agog.
A young woman rebeiled against piano
practice and was missed from her ac-
customed place. After long search
this fugitive was discovered in an insti-
tuition officiating as laundress, clear
starcher and ironer. Very recently two
cases of mysterious disappearance have
been announced nearer home. In none
of these cases has it been admitted
that the fugitives had made a sign in
dicative of a purpose to absent them
selves from home and friends. But
such departures from the even tenor of
the ordinary female way cannot, we
suspect, be utterly unaccountable to
the persons with whom they live.
Neither men nor women break of
suddenly from their usual courses in
life. To the close observer such escap-
adrs are in some sort advertised before
hand, and in the case Of young women
it is doubtful if q sudden departure
cannot always be predicated Of her acts
long beforehand. The truth is that
parents and guardians are in the habit
of ignoring many indications of unrest
exhibited by their children and wards,
assigning them to eccentricity, when in
fact they betaken a morbid condition.
1t is generally safer to fall in with the
temper of such persons, and if possible
afford them frequent changes of scene
But beyond all, employment is the best
defence.

A Western Romance.

An interesting and important will
contest, involving the estate of W. G.
Wilson, of Texas, deceased, valued at
$1OO, 900, has been decided, the jury
revoking the will, on the ground that
the testator was not of sound and dis
posing mind when the will was execu-
ted. Wilson left young wife and one
son in Missouri in 1S43, and went to
Texas. During the ensuing year he
wrote a number of times to his wife.
The letters, which We're produced in
Court, were full of affection, and all
had something to say of his child.
After October, 1S43, the young wife
heard no more of her husband for seve-
raj months, when one of the Texas
party returned and reported Wilson
and al, the others killed by MeXicans.
Snpposing herself a widow, Mrs. Will
son married again in 1916, and soon
after left for Kansas, where few years
later her second husband, Felix G..
Braden, lost bis life in the border trou-
bles.
The same year his wife married,
Wilson arrived in San Jose, where he
continued to live until his death in
April of last year. He was successful
here, and soon acquired fortune.
The first few years he was here he lived
with a Mexican women, but in 1850 he
concluded to marry again, the Missouri
Legislature having passed an act di-
vOrclng him from his wife. The Mexi-
can woman was given sum of money
to return to her parents, and she went,
Wilson promising to follow her. When
she was out of the way he married
Susan E. Osborne. By this wife he
had one son, George, who is now living.
About three years ago the woman
deserted in 1S43 heard that her
husband was living, and soon after
that John Harvey Wilson, the son be-
fore referred to, came out to visit his
father. He was discreet and did not
make himself known as a son of VIC.
Wilson to any one except the old gen.
tleman. Wilson was getting on in
years, and soon after complication of
diseases set in, and some time before
his deaih his last will was made. BY
it half of the estate was bequeathed to
his wife and the remainder to his son
George, except $4,000, which was
bequeathed in trust for Georges wife
and his children.
A few months later w. c. Wilson's
widow died, leaving her portion of the
estate to George Wilson. Harvey
Wilson, who is resident of Bolton,
Kan, desired that the trust for the
benefit of George Wilson's wife AID
children remain undisturbed.

A New Cure for Toothache.

Mr.. William keating, who resides in
New York, went out Sunday night to
enjoy a solitary ramble in Chatham
street. Just at the time that the hands
of the clock sn the City Hall tower
marked the hour of 1870 Mr. Keating
was passing by Pearl street, with his
head carried high in the air aud his eyes
fixed upon a single little star that was
trying to make itself visible, when
bump! something had struck Mr.. Keat-
ing III the most vulnerable spot in his
body-his stomach. For moment Mr..
Keating imagined that house had
suddenly collapsed and had fallen upon
him, when-bump, bump-went that
something in rapid succession, and then
Mr.. keating became aware of the fact
that man had gotten his head down
like goat in front of him, and was
exercising all his muscular power in
endeavoring 10 poke his head through
Mr.. keating's body. Mr.. Keatlng
objected, and tried both by force and
persuasion to make the man desist, but
the more Mr.. Keating objected the
more the man bumped and continued
humping until Officer Rhodes, of the
4th precinct, came up and playfuliy
tapped the humping man upon the
shoulders with club. Then the man,
with Lis lowered head, turned his
attention to the latest arrival and
before the officer fully comprehend the
awful reality of what had happened, he
had received several hard bumps in
what was also his most Vulnerable spot.
Officer Rhodes is not man to be bump
ed with impunity, and he had soon
made it inconyenient for the man to
bump any more. The man, who gave
his name as James Hays, of No. 152
Leonard street, was minus two teeth,
lost in the humping exercise, when he
appeared before Justice White in the
Tombs yesterday. He informed his
Honor that he had been afflicted with a
most excruciating toothache, and that
the only way he could stop it was by
humping his head against some soft
substance, and, not being able to
reach Mr., Keating's he had done the
best he could. Justice White fined Mr..
Hays $40, and Mr. Hays wept. He was
not able to pay it.

A Japanese school House.

Beside the clear, crystal waters of a
running strerm and surrounded with
lilies, we noticed on our way up Tuji-
Yama, the Japanese sand mountain,
what we thought to be school house and
our curiosity prompted us to ask ad-
mittance. There were some fifteen
children in the room, which was fur
nished with long, plain tables. There
appeared to be no check upon the chill.
dren, who were moving about and con-
versing with each other. The master
was teaching the smaller ones the char
acters of the written language by writ
ing them on the blackboard and requir-
ing them to repeat the sounds indicated
by them. Some were engaged in writ
ing upon their states, othersin arithme-
tical calculations and others in reading
or committing to memory from text
books. There seemed to be an entire
freedom from restraint, and we were
surprised at the happy and contented
manner in which they pursued their
studies. Bright and intelligent little
fellows they looked, and from what we
have seen of the youth Of Japan we are
convinced there Is much to be expected
from them.

Two Teas.

1t is well known that the green tea
| affect the nerves much more than the
black tea, which is believed to arise
from the different modes of preparation.
For making green tea the leaves put
over the fire and partially dried directly
after they are picked, but with black
tea the leaves are put into a basket and
then exposed to the influence of the
atmosphere for twenty or thirty hours,
during which time slight fermentation
takes place, and the color of the leaf
changes from green to brown or
chocolate hue this is easily seen by the
infusion of the drief leaf of black and
green tea; the leaf after infusion will
show the different colOrs named); they
are then put over the fire and finished.
In this country about 245 ZOO, 900
pounds are delivered yearly, of which
about 100000 are exported. but the
proportions are about POI, ,000, 900 of
black and 100000 of green, Oolong
and Japan. While in America the
black tea imported is about 5,250, 900,
the green tea Including Oolong and
uncolored Japan tea, which possess nearly
the same properties as green) amount
to $1,000, 900. Would not this excess
i've use of green account for the opinion
of the American doctors as to the effect
of tea on the nervous system? l doubt
very much if pound of black tea,
boiled down i'll the same way as the
young hySon mentioned, would poison
either rabbits or cats with the same
dose. There is no doubt the fermenta-
g ha -
the amount of the active principal
''theine" that you find in green.
Another thing, III preparing tea for
the table. boiling water is put on the
leaf and an infusion made which Is at
once partaken of. But who ever would
think of boiling tea to drink? By so
doing YOU extract from the stalk and
woody fibre of the leaf an acrid de-
coction that No one would find pleasure
in taking, and from which the woody
part would be most likely extracted the
poisonous qualities mentioned. In tea
drinking European counties, as Ger
many, Russia, &C., scarcely any green
is used, and doubtless the great increase
i'll the consumption In this country
arises from the almost universal use of
black tea, green being only used in
mixing with it to impart flavor. and
while of late years the consumption of
black tea has largely increased, that of
green has remained stationary, which
clearly shows the taste in this country
is entirely different from that of
America. May we long continue in this
country to enjoy 1.-THE cup which cheers
but not inebrIates.

Australian Gentlemen.

Australian gentlemen are manly,
cordial fellows; more pronounced and
less reserved than are our people at
home says English gentleman The
tone Is tritie more bruSque, but it has
the genuine ring in it. Think, perhaps,
that they have even more prejudices
than We have-I do not mean personal
prejudices- they are certainly freer-
spoken in the enumeration of them.
They are wholly without one attribute
that is a diseredit to SO many English
men-the atfectation of being idlers
because of an absence of necessity for
being workers. Have you leisure
claSs?" ased an Englishman of an
American. ''What is that, anyhow"
interrogated the citizen of the Union.
"a class who can afford to have no
vocation" exclaimed the Briton.
why, certainly" responded the
American with alacrity, 1--WE call them
tramps." 1t is much the same in
Australia. The only people who let
themselves afford to have no specific
object in life are the ''sundowners," rs
they are colonially called; the loafers
who Saunter from station to station in
the interior, secure of a nightly ration
and bunk. Bar the ''sundOwner,n
every Australian man has his vocation,
and would feel shame, of himself to
ape a sorry pride of not being industri-
Gus in it. He works like a man and he
plays like man-sometimeS like boy.
He is more speculative than is the busl-
ness man, who is his home correlat atiye;
and he, therefore, may experience
greater vicissitudeS of the fortune.
But he has an elasticity anda versatility
that are more American than English,
and so copious are the opportunities OF
Australia that if fortune frowns to-day
she may smile to morrow from ear to
ear. In all Australian life there re-
mains still large Out-of-door element
comprising occasional hard exercise,
the recoll from which has tendencyto
make men burly, if not portly. Theirs
is a rudder, sturdier manhood than is
ours, even in the towns. In culture, in
in manner, the Australian
women are the superiors for the most
part of the Australian men; but |
think this is SO in all communities of
which the civilization has not attained
to an exceptional degree of finished
