A Snow-Bound Party.

A Vermont letter says: Something like the good, old fashioned experience of being snow-bound recently happened to party of friends who had assembled to celebrate the tenth anniversary of marriage of 8 Cambridge couple. The company was large one, composed of old and young, several coming in sleighs from the adjoining towns. During the afternoon the snow began to fall thickly, driven by 8 fierce wind. By nightfall the roads were deeply drifted, and the wind blew perfect gale.
 What was to be done? Several of the guests started out with their sleighs, but most of them returned, saying that the roads were impossible and the storm so binding that the horses could not keep the trail.
 The result was that thirty-four guests stayed in the little house all the night, some sleeping on the beds and lounges, and some camping out without ceremony on the floor. Next morning the world was buried deep in snow, but, after breakfast, as everything had been eaten up by the small army of guests, it was found necessary to do something, so the men and boys laid hands on all the shov- els and brooms and pieces of board they could find, and proceeded to make tun- nel out to the road. Then the teams were all hitched up, and presently a long, slow-moving but merry line of road breakers went winding across the wide desolation of snow. It must have been pretty expensive and uncomforta- ble anniversary for the ten-years' couple, but then it wasn't their fault, at least, and they had the satisfaction of knowing that all these good people were rejoicing in the thought that they had made them happy. do not doubt though that they and all other married couples, liable to the same experience, will thank me for the suggestion to each and every anni- versary guest, that they bring codfish apiece and put pound of butter, into the sleigh.

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

It will be apparent to any one, who VIII ex- anime SOLID GOLD WATCH, that aside rom the necessary thickness for engraving ana large proportion Of the preciou- metal used, is needed not only to stifen and hold the engraved portions in place, and sup ply the necessary soiidity and strength. The surplus gold is actually needless so far as uTII- rry and beauty are concerned. In JAMES BOSS PATENT GOLD WATCH CASES, this WASTE of precious metal is overcome, ana the SAME soL1prry AND STRENGTH produced ~ from ons-third to one half of the usual COSY oi solid cases. The process is Of the most sinPis nature, as follows: plate of nickle oomposi- ton metal, especially adapted to the Purposs' has two plates of SOLID GOLD soldered one on each side The three are then passed between polished steel rollers, and the result is a strip of heavy plated composition, from which the cases, backs, centres, bezels, &c, are out ana shaped by suitable dies and formers. The gold in these cases is sufficient 10 admit of all
 kinds of chasing, engraving and enamelng 1; the engraved eases have been carried until
 worn perfectly smooth by time and lss without removing the gold.

Those Earthquake Shocks.

The earthquakes of Sunday and Mon- day, though not very destructive, were remarkable because of the wide-separ- ated points on the earth's surface which were nearly simultaneously affected. On Sunday evening there was a severe shock at Agram, and on the same day the shaking of the earth which has re- gently disturbed the inhabitants of Mur- cia was renewed. On Monday afternoon shocks were felt in New Hampshire, nli- nois, Michigan and Indiana. The near coincidence in time of these various shocks naturally suggests that they were the result of some common cause. This idea is strengthened by the fact that all the shocks, both in Europe and in this country, were felt in regions where earthquakes are not infrequent. A year seldom passes in which one or more earthquake shocks are not felt in the Ohio and Mississippi valleys and the neighborhood of the great lakes, and in the mountainous portion of New Eng land. To be sure, these shocks seldom do any damage, though, as all who have read descriptions of the earthquakes of 1911 and 1872 in the Mississippi valley know, they are not always destitute of very destructive effects, at least in that part of the country. In view of the ap- parent connection in origin of the recent earthquakes, it is very interesting to re- call that remarkable earthquake oc- cured in New England in November, 1755, which, it is believed, emanated either from the same centre of disturb ance as the great earthquake that de- stroyed Lisbon less than three weeks before, or from some centre whose activ- ity was aroused by the shakings that western Europe and Iceland were then experiencing

Entered With Humbug.

A man is not more justly known by the company he keeps than by the char- acter of business he chooses to follow One would not willingly confde in mock -auctioneer, or lend dealer in pinchbeck five dollars till he can sell his dog" We could not think of George Washington as engaged, for example, in degrading with cheap glucose the stand ard of sweets, or consenting to realize profit from adulteration of tea. The truth cannot abide in person whose money is got by deceit, no matter how large the sub-basement where he works, or how expansive the superstructure in which he displays his lying goods. Do we draw good water and bad from the same fountain? May we expect figs from thistles9 Do "the peaceable fruits of righteousness" grow in disguise2 "Ye cannot serve two masters" It was lu. cidly said of certain parson that he was an angel-in the pulpit. But he killed official utterance by his weekday walk and conversation; "the simple fact is, his preaching wasn't sanctioned by his practice" So it is a cold day for Reform when it is championed by man who feeds on fraud.
 Everybody knows, or may know, that oleomargarine never appears with it's proper name when it can palmed off as butter. Hundreds of thousands of per sons in this city, in every town, and in foreign countries as we'll, are to-day buy ing and using this refined soap grease as genuine product of the dairy COW. The very completeness of the counterfeit gives the more occasion for criticism. If by the shrewd arts of the laboratory, de- cent suet, or the refuse fats of the slaugh. ter-house, or of worse sources, can, in open competition, be made to take the place of butter Gas they do secretly take it to the extent, according to figures, oi 17,000,000 pounds per year,, no one could fairly remonstrate but the simple fact is that not tithe of that vast quan. tity could be marketed if it were placed on grocers' counters for exactly what il is-as not only sense of honor would require, but as the law itself directs This is the ground of the objection we urge now to oleomargarine. and to tho man who has come to be known as tho mogul of it's commerce who, using the machinery of an extensive trade, fills hil pockets by circulating the article agains
