How Watch Gases Gre Made.

Most persons have an ambition to carry
gold watch case, and yet few people know
how a watch case is made, Or the vast diff
ference in Inequality of them. Ina SOLID
GOLD WATCH CASE, aside from the neces-
sary thickness for engraving and polishing,
a large proportion of the metal is needed
only to stillen and hold the engraved por-
tions in place, and supply strength. The
surplus isnot only needless, but undesira-
bic, because gold is soft metal and cannot
furnish the stiffness, strength and elasticity
necessary to make the case permanently
strong and close-ftting. The perfect watch
case must combine gold with some metal
that will supply that in which the gold is
deficient. This has been accomplished by
the James Boss Gold Watch Case -, ~ v,,x
which saves the WASTE of need 3 q
less gold, and INCREASES the soLIDITY and
STRENGTH of the case, and at the same time
reduces the cost ONE HALF.
eepha, Pn for handsome Pamphlet showing
sAne1 Boss and Keystone Watch Gases are made.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD ::

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:
Inotice in the HERALD of April 1,
"a report of the proceedings of the Es-
sex county uperintendents meeting
held at Guildhall April II.
/ also notice the remarks following,
and on reading them | wondered.
"who could think SOP" and then |
thought of the man who was glad
erybody did not think alike because
if they did everybody would have
wanted his wife, whereas the truth of
the business, in Others opinion, was no
other man would have ever had her.
1t may be possible the statement that
but five uperintendents were present
was a shame. There are great many
things that ought to be done and are
not. The idea of discussing all things
pertaining to discipline of schools "
may be one of them. supposed their
chief business was the getting up and
agreeing on a list of printed questions,
or rather list to be printed. always
had grave doubts as to whether more
than so per cent of those very men, OH
that day, could pass the required ex-
animation. Is there a town that will
admit she has neither man nor woman
within its borders that is competent to
tell whether q teacher is qualified or
not? Is there a superintendent who
will admit that he is unable to tell
what a teachers qualifications are
without the aid of Il printed list of
questions? If there is, should think
him a greater sinecure than he who
failed TO attend this convention. What
is the good of these conventions? They
are not to endorse each others license.
Why? If it were net that it was too
harsh, would like to let another of
whom | asked the question answer.
am of the opinion that if a teacher has
passed an examination in one town in
the county and obtained license, no
superintendent in another has the
right TO pass out the questions from
another county and ask them to pass
examination in those. An oral exam
ination should be sufficient.
The law as regards compensation is
81 per day and 10 cents per mile travel
fee. Is $75 too large an estimate of the
expense to the towns of the county for
q full representation This sum would
pay the wages of teacherin most any
of our districts for two terms of three
months each. In how many districts
of the county would it place a copy of
| Worcester's new school dictionary? |
would not be understood as in any
way disparaging education. On the
contrary | would do all | could to fav-
or it. Permit me to ask how many
superintendent take measures to as
certain how much time teacher de-
votes to penmanship in her school Z
how much to grammar? and in fact
whether or no most of them do more
than visit the school twice each term,
and see what they may happen to see
in so doing? How much oversight OF
a school is this? Yet if the school is
not satisfactory to the prudential COM
mittee, he is as powerless as any other
man in the district. The power is in
the superintendent. OBSERVER.

In looking from our sanctum we see
but little to remind us of the winter
that has passed and gone. Upon the
hills beyond there fingers stubbornly
small drifts of the snowy element, but
the solar rays will soon vanish them
out of sight. The pond has thrown
off its icy covering and is as smoothly
content as if it never had a hibernal
shield TO protect it from the winds
of heaven. The grass is peeping up
from uncovered earth, asserting that
it is living, and the tree buds are swell
ing, DESTROYS to see the new summer
sun, Let US wait The flowers and
the fruits of pregnant earth will soon
be with us, and man and animal will
be merry.

over any event that has occurred ner,
for the past 25 years. The writer o.
this saw him at o'clock the afternoon
preceding his death, and had nc
thought bat that his expectation o.
seeing the morrow's sun would be re-
allied. Is there limit, bound which
man cannot pass? Has he an appoint.
ed time to die?
Nc man, perhaps, in all Cranky will
hardly be missed as much by the peo
pie generally as the deceased. He was
unable to work on farm but small
portion of his time, and being a man
of that temperament that he could not
well sit down and be still, he was much
ofhiS time around buying calves, lambs
or poultry, consequently scarcely a
week passed but a majority of the
townspeople saw him.
To say he had no faults would be to
say he was not human. He was q good
neighbor, especially in sickness and
trouble.
He had long been troubled with rheu-
matism, and it is supposed it went to
the heart as he had a distressed spell
for few minutes, and was gone.
1t is a voice speaking in tones of
thunder to those of us who are still in
habitants of earth-those of us who
were his neighbors, saying: "There-
fore be we also ready; for in such an
hour as ye think not the Son of man
cometh."
