Young American Character.

The following little incident will serve to
show one of the characteristics of the young
American character. 1t occurred in Phila-
delphia u short time since. A small boy
between ten and eleven years of age during
his summer vacation becoming tired OF play
and other bOyish amusements and posses
sing desire to be engaged at work whereby
he could earn little pocket money, called
at the office of Superintendent Swygert of
the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad and
introduced himself as follows:
"Mr. Swygert my name is Willie Shaef-
fer. l am a brother of Frank Shaetfer.
Can't you give me some work to do?
The Superintendent looking at the boy
was struck with his simple and earnest
expression of face, who said: And you
are brother of Frank Shaeffer, are you"
"Yes sir" said the boy.
"Well Frank is one of our best and most
reliable engineers. Willie you look too
small and two young for any work that L
have to do"
"No amt to young nor too little" said
Willie. /" L can work"
"Well, now tell me what you can dOP'
said the Superintendent
why, l can wipe grease"
The Superintendent was SO much i'm
pressed with the boys frank manner and
his application for employment to wipe
grease, that he put the boy to work, think
| ing he would soon get tired and want tC
/ quit and go back to play, but he is still al
| work wiping grease, at which he earn
forty dollars a month, and when he is paiC
! ut the end of each month, takes his wage
home to his mother.
Frank Shaeffer his brother, is the youn
gest engineer in the employment of tn
Reading Railroad Company, being abou
twenty-five years of age. and so successful
has he been in avoiding accidents, ant
always on time with his train, that Presiden
Gowen when he wants to make quick ru
or has urgent business to attend to along tn
line Of his road, always selects Frank for
safe and speady journey.
Such instances as these two boys preseT
are very rare, though good type Of Amer

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

1t will be apparent to any one, who will
examine SOLID GOLD WAroH, that aside
from the necessary thickness for engraving
and polishing, large proportion of the
precious metal used is needed only to stiffen
and hold the engraved portions in place and
supply the necessary solidity and strength.
The surplus gold is actually needless so far
as utility and beauty are concerned. In
JAMES BOSS PATENT GOLD WATCH
CASES, this waste of precious metal is over
come, and the SAME sOLIDITY AND STRENGTH
produced at from one third to halt of the
usual cost of solid cases. This process is Of
the most simple nature, as follows: a plate
of nickle composition metal, especially
adapted to the purpose, has two plates Of
SOLID GOLD sOldered one on each side. The
three are 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 sufficiently thick to ad-
nit of all kinds of chasing, engraving and
enamelling; 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 OF SOLID GOLD
AND WARRANTED BY SPECIAL GER
TIFICATE.

Advice to Husbands.

There is so much good advice in the
papers to wives that think little to the
husbands would be beneficial, could thev
only be induced 20 heed it.
Now husbands. if YOU wish to be happy
Cor have your wife happy. never reprove
her in company: don't take that time of
all others to find fault. You do not know
how deep it strikes in her heart. What a
hard bitter and grieved feeling it causes,
although she saws nothing, but parties it
over with u smile, il rankles all the same
when. if you would speak kindly to her
about the matter whatever it NAV be.
when you two are alone. how differently
she would feel toward you.
And always take an interest in vour
wife's little troubles and plans. II she is
of "a neat, tidy disposition. and loves to
see and keep things bright and cheerful.
and loves pretty things. do not express a
lofty contempt Tor ''all such trash" even
If YOU do not care for the beautiful things
in this life. There are men that are born
perfectly blind. you might say, to all the
beautiful things by which God has
surrounded them, and Heaven help
the wife that has one OF them.
She need not expect to find any
sympathy or help there. in anything but
work, work, work Let the husband be
careful how he acts and speaks and looks,
for n vile loves to see her husband look
neat and well dressed. Just as well as she
did in the pleasant eourting davs. when
he was SO careful in his attire whenever
he visited her presence. and how careful
he was to agree with her on all subjects
but do you now husbands? Oh no, lit
IL not of any use now, she cannot help her.
SELF is often the answer. and how do YOU
suppose such talk makes your wife feel
toward youp to see and hear YOU cvince
so little consideration for her tastes and
feelings and feel that she is now counted
as only household machine, TO provide
tor the carDal wants of the master. Does
IL increase that love that she felt at first
for youP No, it kills all love. slowly but
surely. Heaven help her. she cannot help
it, Perhaps you say that | am too hard
ON the husband, but look around you and
YOU can see manv such cases as | have
cited; and there are the opposite also.
where all is confidence and happiness be-
tween husband and wife. Would there
were more such marriages. The husband
as well Ms the vile should study TO please.

and brighten where now all is gloom and
discontent.-Cor. Tribune and Farmer.

4 Hermit's Home.
How He LIVES AND DEFIEs HIS APACHE
NEIGHBORs.

Professor Lennon and his wife recent
ly returned from bofanizing trip In the
wilds of Arizona. The professor bore
letters OF introduction to curious old
hermit, the only occupant OF Rucker Val
lev, calling himself DIR. Monroe. That
was their objective point. As they ap-
preached his tbin the noise of their feet
stirred his hens To cackling. then the up
per part Of his door opened and the Old
hermit appeared-a little old man with
hooked nose like an eagles. Il dilapidated
straw hat over his right ear, long, fine
hair, streaked with gray, and piercing
plack eyes. His clothing was hall militia
ry and half fontiersman. He real the
letter and then opened the lower part oil
the door and invited his guests in.
The hermit entertained his guests with
stories OF his lite and instruments OF de-
tense, which consisted of a certain tunnel
40 ipgepiuusly constructed that it is worthy
of description At the back OF the capin
some sacks were carelessly hung. which,
when drawn aside. disclosed what APP
peared to be cellar, but which really
was the opening Of Il tunnel l20 feet long,
with a double elbow in the middle and
cabin at each end. The tunnel was
Just high enough for himself. and he
was a short man. only about five
and a half feet high. The bottom and
roof were rough with cobblc stones. The
middle was enlarged to allow for strong
defense. It was very dark. and unless
one was acquainted with it, it was of no
use to try 10 follow the hermit. For de-
Tense, in case he was overpowered. he
had an arrangement Of fuse. carefully
covered over with rock and cobbles, which,
when fired would blow up everything.
This DIR. Monroe was IA very intelligent
man and had evidently moved in high
circles. ii. had had some twenty three
occupations in life, from PLAYING The clar-
ionet in a circus to teaching school in
Virginia and practicing medicine. Hang
ing over the fireplace were not less than
twelve hats in different stages of dilapi
dation. and he was never seen without
one OF these on. lie never put it square
on his head, but always on one side. lie
kept cats and chickens, and when asked
why he did not have dog, he said that
several years ago he had a partner on a
mining scheme and they had II dog which
was considered very faithful. One day
the partner returned to the cabin to get
dinner, and when DIR. Monroe reached it
AN hour later he found his friend dead.
The dog had not given the alarm Of the
approach of the Indians. but had skulked
off and hid. After that he never had any
faith in dogs.--Sa1l Francisco Rural Press.

Good Manners.

Good manners are among the greatest
charms a person can possess, and every
body should cultivate them, especially
young people. They are something money
cannot purchase, for there is only one way
of obtaining them, and that is by habitual
practice.
We know good mother who used to
say:
always use good manners at home,
and then when YOU go among strangers
you need never be alarmed. for it will be
perfectly natural to you to be polite and
respectful"
This is true and we have always thought
that the best and easiest way to do any
thing right was to get into the habit of do
ing It right.
Hardly is anything of more consequence
than good manners and politeness in Il boy
or girl. They render those who possess
them iavorites with their relations and
friends, and prepossesses strangers toward
them. Politeness costs nothing. and at
the same time is OF the greatest value
