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 stfen
and hold the engraved portions in place, and
supply the necessary soidity 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-half 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 solder
ed one on each side The three are then
passed between polished steel rollers, and
the result is strip of heavy plated compost
ion, from which the cases, hacks, centres,
bezes, &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.
THIS IS THE ONLY CASE MADE
WITH TWO PLATES OF SOLID GOLD
AND WARRANTED BY SPECIAL CERT
FlCATE.
For sale by all jewelers.. Ask for Illustra-
ted Catalogue, and to see warrant.

For the Spirit oil the Age
Somewhat Original.

Man, born of woman, is of few
days and no teeth. Indeed it would
be money in his pocket if he had less
of either. As for his days, he wasteth
one-third of Them and as for his teeth,
he has commissions when he cuts them,
and when the last one comes through,
10 the dentist is yanking out the first
one; and the last end of that man s
jaw is worse than the first, being full
of porcelain and roof built to hold
blackberry seeds. Stone-bruises line
his pathway to manhood; his father
toxes his ears at home the big boys
cuff him on the play ground, and the
teacher hogs him in the school room.
He buyeth Northwestern at 40 when
he hath sold short at SO, and his
neighbor unloadeth upon him Iron
Mountain at 63a, and it straightway
droppeth to 524. He riseth early and
sitteth up late that he may fill his
barns and storehouscs ; and 10 his
children's lawyers divideth the spoils
and cry cha, ha !" He growleth and
is sore distressed because it raineth,
and he beateth upon his breast and
sayeth, "My crop is lost because it
raineth not. The light rain blighteth
his wheat, and an early frost bites his
peaches. If so be that the sun shineth,
even among the nineties, he says,
"Woe is me, for l perish !" and if the
northwest wind goes down to AZ de-
grees below, he crieth, "Would | were
dead" If he wear sackcloth and blue
jeans, men say, "he is tramp" and
if he goeth forth shaven and clad in
fine linen and purple, all the people
cry out, "Shoot the dude" He car
ryeth insurance here for 20 years, until
he hath paid thrice over tor his goods !;
and then he letteth his policy run out
for one day, and that same night fire
burneth his store. He buildeth him q
house in Jersey, and his tirst-born is
devoured by mosquitoes he pitcheth
his tent in New York and tramps de-
your his substance. He moveth to
Kansas and cyclone carrieth his
house to Missouri while prairie fire
and ten million grasshoppers fight for
his crops. He settleth in Kentucky and
is shot the next day by one who is a

Of his birth. Truly thine,
SAMDIKE.
