How Watch Cases are Made.

A plate of SOLID GOLD IA 2-10 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-backs, 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 soIidity, while
the sVritten guarantee of the manufacturers
warranting each case to wear tUeuty 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
by years of use without wearing through
the gold. D,,nr,orc T. Duc "A 1sso

A TERRIBLE TIME APPROACHING

The period between 1880 and 1885
cannot fail to excite the llviiest interest
with astronomers, as the four great plan
cts, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus and Jupl-
ter, will then be in perihelion for the
first time in about 1000 years,
and in consequence Of this remarkable
evelt it is believed that the climatic
conditions Of the earth will be disturbed
and produce alternate degrees of excess
i've heat, cold. rains, floods, hurricanes
and fatal epidemics. During the sixth
and sixteenth centuries of the Christian
era three of the above planets were in
perihelion, and from that or some other
cause foods, hurricanes, earthquakes,
sickness and the plague extended over
the world and destroyed vast amounts OF
life and property. In the sixth century
the plague broke out in the East, and
sweeping over Africa, Asia and Europe,
destroyed, it is estimated, 100 000,00
The city of Alexandria lost 200,0 in.
habitants In COUstantinople 1000 died
per day during three months. and in and
around Rome during the same time 5000
died per dav. A large number of cities,
villages and provinces in Eastern Eu-
rope, Western Asia and Northern Africa
were almost depopulated, and remained
in that condition several centuries. The
people fed panic-stricken in every direc-
ton, and for miles around in these cities
the dead were left unburied, and thus
filing the air with pestilential odOrs add
ed additional horrors to the scenes Of
distress and misery. In the sixteenth
century the plague raYaged the world
again. Constantinople lost 100000
people, and in and around Rome, Naples
and other cities ofItalY, 1000 died in
five years.
Fifteen millions perished in China and
sc, ,O50. 900 died in the countries border
ing on the Red, Black and Mediterr&n.
Seas. Marseilles lost $4,000 inhabitants
in six mouths, and in and around Lon~
don 25O, 900 died in three years, and in
that city fires were kept burning night
and day a long time to purify the air,
which seemed vitiated several years.
Ireland lost 100000 people, Paris 100,-
900, Madrid 1900, Alexandria $4,000,
and the total less Of life by the plague
and famine of the sixteenth century is
estimated at I20,000,000. IF the forego
ing calamities were the result of three
planets in perihelion, what may be
anticipated from the four now approach
ing perihelion? The theory entertained
that the perihel on the four great planets
will effect the sun and the sun in turn
will injuriously effect the earth, and
hence disastrous consequences to life and
property will follow.-New York World

Rev. Dr.:G. P. Peabody, at recent
meeting of. the Unitarian Club of Boston,
delivered plea for the written as oppos-
ed to the extempore sermon. He held
that the proportions of the extempore
sermon were not artistic; that the intro
duction was oftentimes too long, that the
argument was not direct, and that the
speaker inserted great many things
which, if he had written the sermon, he
would have left out. He advised young
preachers to choose their subject early in
the week, to brood and muse over it, to
read anything to be had which will
throw light on it, and to talk about it if
offers. On Saturday the
sermon should be written, and on Sunday
read over two or three times.
Then in the pulpit you do not have to
keep your eyes on the manuscript.

Arrangements as being made to place
electric lights in the Woolen Mill and
Packing House in this city, by the Stop
penbach Brothers. This will cost about
$4,000. By adding 81, 900 making total
of $4,000 a machine of sufficient power
can be obtained to light the streets, every
store and many dwelling houses in the
city. An effort is being made to form a
stock company for the purpose. Each
light will cost the consumer $40 a year,
the cheapest light in the world, We
hope our business men will take stock
enough in this enterprise to make it a
success. 1t will add great deal to the
business of the town, secure them a
cheaper and tar better light then kero :

Josephine Todd, the natural daughter
of A AIbert Weber, the piano manufactur.
er, was born June 81, 1852. The moth
er was hardly more than child herself
and was entirely dependent for support
on her own mother, a widow. At its
birth Mr.. Weber received the child, in
his arms and in the presence of witnesses
acknowledged his paternity. The child
remained at its grandmother's nine or
ten years, and was visited often
by Mr., Weber, who always mani
tested great affection for her, and fire.
quently told both mother and grand
mother that he wished them to take good
care of the child and bring her up all

he died no provision was made in his
will for these charges. After fighting
the case drought the courts the child has
been awarded $4,000 by the Courts of
Appeals.

Theirs, the Kenosha forger, who was in
State Prison at Waupun, was transferred
to the insane hospital at Oshkosh. The
claims having been made great many
times, in the newspapers, that he was not
insane and thai he was simply shamming
to escape punishment, the attention of
the State authorities was called to the
matter, and the Governor ordered Theirs
returned to Waupun, an investigation
having resulted in the discovery that he
was of sound mind.

Rev. Ernest Wherefore, Bishop of
Newcastle, is an eloquent and persistent
advocate of total abstinence. Now and
then from sense of duty, he arrays
himself i'll well-worn clothes and goes
about incognito among the poor and
criminal classes on tours of observation.
On one such occasion he was riding in a
third-class railway carriage of which the
only other occupant was a pitman. The
latter, viewing the Bisop's clerical but
"seedy" garments, remarked: "Tse
warn't ye're poor curate, 400, travelin'
II the likes O. huz?' ri once was, nv
friend" replied the Bishop, "but--."
"Oh, aye, I see!,' cried the other, in all
good faith. 'that wretched drink! Ave,
aye! Too bad!' The incident-without
naming the Bishop-has since formed
the topic of cartoon in Punch.

TRAGIC NIAGARA.-The tragedy adds
another to the legends of Niagara which
are used by the guides to give sad in
terest to the various localities. The most
mournful is that of Charles Addington
and Eva De Forest, residents of Bdfalo,
about thirty yeass ago. Mr.. Addington
was engaged to little Eva's sister, and
accompanied Mrs. De Forest and her two
daughters to the Falls. While the party
was on Goat Island, Eva, a child of 6 or
Z years, was casting pieces of stick into
the narrow strip Of rapids running be-
tween Goat Island and small island in
tervening between it and the American
Falls. Mr.. Addington approached the
child noiselessly and foolishly caught her
up and held her over the bank The
child, terrified, threw up her arms, slip
ped through young Addington's hands
and fell into the rapids. Instantly poor
Addington leaped after Eva to certain
death, caught her and threw her up on
to the bank, But the child rolled back
into the fatal stream, and both were
swept over the falls before the eyes of
Mrs. De Forest and her elder daughter.
