killing Brakes.

MesSrs. Editors -
wish to tell my brother farmers a
little of my experience in regard to
killing the fine brakes, or ferns, as
they are now called, that are so trou-
blesome to most of the farmers. L
have often heard people remark that
TO cut brakes in the old of the moon
in August it would not only kill them
for the time, but would thoroughly
eradicate them from the soil, conse-
onently, as they were troubling me
badly, / concluded to try it. mum
bered my stakes and commenced
moving brakes August 1st, 1883, and
continued to NOW every day in the
month. AS l cut them L took them
off from where they grew, so there
would be no deficiency there. What
was the result? / will tell you. By
taking particular notice of the grount
where they were last year, l find full
growth this year, with this exception
On the 18th and 18th, one-hal
growth, on the Goth, one-third a:
many, so you will see L am full in thu
faith that moving brakes in the montl
of August to kill them is all folly.

The WASHINGTON MONUMENT. -
The Washington Monument was
begun in 1913 by the Washington Ma
tional Monument Society, who collec-
ted and expended some $272,OO0 in
carrying it up to 152 feet, since which
time the shaft has been carried on to
completion by appropriations made
by Congress. The original associa-
ton still exists, its directors hold oc-
casional meetings, and the legal title
to the site of the monument and the
shaft remains yet in that association,
under the trusts for which 1t was es-
tablished. On the 9th ult. an in
spection of the four sides Of the mon
ument was made by man who was
lowered in sling from the extreme
top to the ground on every side.

Precious STONES IN THE TREASURY.
1t is, perhaps, not generally known
that in addition to the vast amount OF
treasure in coin contained in the treas
ury, there is in the bond vault num-
Der of jewels, the value of which IS
estimated at from $50, 1000, to $780,
900. Most of these gems have been
in the custody of the treasury officials
for more than 40 years. They are
the gifts Of foreign princes and po-
tentates to American officials, who,
by reason of a prohibitory clause In
the constitution, cannot take them as
personal property. Some OF them
were sent to President Van Buren, as
present by the Inman OF Muscat
in 1889, and the President, not being
able to accept them himself, seut them
TO the treasury. What will eventual
ly be done with these jewels nobody
knows, although the matter has been
repeatedly called to the attention o.
Congress.

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 i'm
ProYements in the making of silver cases.
Under the old methods, each part of
silver case was made of several pieces of
metal soldered together, requiring great
amount of cutting and soldering, which
softened 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, for every one knows that hammering
hardens the metal while soldering softensit.
To test the superiority of the keystone
Silver Watch Case, take one of 8 OF. weight,
press it squarely in the center when closed,
and it will not give, while a case of same
weight of any other make will give enough
to break the crystal. The Keystone Silver
Watch Case is made only with silver cap
and gold joints.

doubt that so far as the stone work is

to dig through it. Fortunately Mr..
