How Watch Cases are Made.

The many great improvements intro
duced in the manufacture Of the Jas. Boss
Gold Watch Case, have led to similar inn
provements in the making of silver cases.
Under the old methods, each part Of a
silver case was made of several pieces of
metal soldered together, requiring great
amount Of cutting and soldering, which
so!tened the metal and gave it the pliability
of lead rather than the elasticity of silver.
Under the improved methods, each part
Of the keystone Silver Watch Case is made
Of one solid piece of metal hammered into
shape. The advantages are readily appar-
ent, Tor every one knows that hammering
harlens the metal while soldering softens it.
TO test the superiority of the keystone
Silver Watch Case, take one of OF. weight,
press it squarely in the center when closed,
and it viii not give, while a case of same
weight of any other make viii give enough
tobreak the crystal The keystone Silver
Watch Case is made only with silver cap
and gold joints.

The Fool.

There lived fool in the world. For
long time be remained content and
happy; but slowly rumors reached him
that everywhere he was held to be a
brainless idiot.
Grieyed was the fool, and began to
think how he could stop these ISLANDERS.
A sudden idea lighted his poor, dark
ened brain, and without delay be began
to execute it,
He met an acquaintance on the street,
who praised highly renowned painter.
"Mercyp exclaimed the fool, "this
painter is almost forgotten. You do
not know that? I did not expect to
find you so naif. You are behind the
timep
His acquaintance blushed, and
hurrie1ly agreed with the fool.
What beautiful book / read to-
day" another acquaintance said to
him.
beg pardon! are you not ashamed
This book is good for nothing; all have
long ago abandoned it."
And this acquaintance also made
haste to quickly agree with the fool.
What marvellous man is my friend,
n. n Y said third acquaintance to the
fool.
"Whyp exclaimed the fool, IN. n. is
known to be a scoundrel! to have
robbed all his relativesl Who does not
know that? | pity you'll"
The third acquaintance did as the
Others, and forgot his friend Who
soever or whatsoever was praised in the
presence of the fool, he made always a
similar reply, adding sometimes the re
frain, and you believe yet in au-
thorities ?"
Malicious, captious man !" began the
fools acquaintance to say of him, "but
what a head!" "And what a tongue I"
added others. "Ah he is a man of
Talent"
1t ended in a publishers asking the
fool to control the critical section of his
paper; and he began to beguile every
body, without changing his expressions
or ordinations.
And now he who inveighed so much
against authorities is himself an au-
thority. and the youth worship and fear
him. And what are the poor youth to
do? If even it is not proper, generally
speaking, to worship. fail to do it here
and you will be pronounced stupid.

Where the Rich Come From.

All except very few of the rich men

prospects of winning fortunes were not

to-day.
The ranks of wealth are all the time
recruited from poverty. A new class
OF rich men will come up during tle
next quarter of century, and it viii he
