How Watch Cases are Made.

In buying silver watch case great care
should be taken to secure one that is solid
silver throughout. The cap of most cheap
silver cases is made of a composition known
as albata, which is very poor substitute
for silver, as it turns black in short time.
The backs of such cases are made much
thinner than those of an all silver case,
being robbed in order to make the cap
thicker and get in as much as possible of
the cheap metal. Another important point
inasilver case is the joints or hinges, which
should be made of gold. Those of most
cheap cases are made of silver, which is
not suitable metal for that purpose. In
a brief period it warps, bends and spreads
apart, allowing the backs to become loose
upon the case and admitting the dust and
dirt that accumulate in the pocket. The
Keystone SilverWatch Gases are only made
with silver caps and gold joints.

The English Premier.

There, in Office (on the treasury
bench) ,Aits the first lord of the treas
ury and leader of the house of COM
mons, stretched out, with his legs
before him, and his toes turned up to
the lantern roof. His hands he listless-
ly crosses on his lap. His head droops
over his right shoulder. His face is
pallid. The corners of his mouth droop
as if in pain. His scant gray hair
clings like fringe of floss about the
base of his great skull. His eyes are
closed. The powerful features, touch
ed with q tinge of sweetness and over
worn with half century of politics,
mutely engender pity. His ill-ftting
clothes hang loosely about his figure,
always 1.-the and active in motion, and
with free stride Of wild thing of the
woods. But when Mr.. Gladstone is
once aroused by attacks of his oppo-
nents) ''the lax figure, which seemed to
sleep, suddenly sits bolt upright, chin
in the air, and hands clasping his
knees. There are only three fingers on
the left hand, the bare knuckles being
concealed with circular black patch
kept in its place by narrow black rib
bon drawn back and front of the palm.
All traces Of fatigue pass away, the
eyes, large and luminous, keen and
gray, rest with anger upon the enemy.
The nostrils dilate, the lips, still close,
work impatiently, the body leans for
ward, the hands glide upon the knees
pressed outward.
'In moment Mr.. Gladstone is on
his feet. Say it is field night and
that he has come from some political
reception. He wears evening clothes
and flower. When he comes down
to the house decorated with the spoils
of the garden the reporters sharpen
their pencils and members wait about
the lobbies to hear him. By what pro-
cess the liberal chief rumples the fronts
of his dress shirts is a secret as close as
that of the age of the world. With
couple of quick steps he comes to the
dispatch box at the corner of the ia
BILE, and for an instant beams upon the
house. Then he opens the flood gates
of his oratory, and deluges the COM
mons with superb eloquence. "-Scenes

Remarkable Tricycling.

For fifteen years the city weigher of
Salem has suffered with paralysis in
both legs, making it impossible for him
to walk unaided or to lift his legs, and
even with the aid of q crutch it was ex-
cecdingly hard to drag himself. As an
experiment., he was advised to try tri-
cycling. Incredible as it may seem,
he became tGicyclist, and can propel
his machine as well as many who have
the perfect use of their legs. He has
the sufficient strength to push down
upon the pedals, and as one pedal goes
down, the other pedal lifts the other
leg. He rides his Columbia tricycle.
to and from his Office daily, and has
ridden all over the city, attracting
great attention, for he is one of the old
pioneer ship captains of Salem, and Is
personally acquainted with almost
everybody in the neighborhood. Re-
Gently he made trip to Swampscott
on his tricycle., q distance out and back,
of eight miles. but he was assisted by
bicyclist, who, connecting the bycy-
Gle and trycle by q rope, towed him
part of the distance. The city author
ities contemplate erecting a little house
for the machine, near his office.-BoS-

Bottled Tears.

In Persian they bottle their tears as
of old. This is done in the following
manner: AS the mourners are sitting
around and weeping the master of GER
emonies presents each with piece of
cotton, with which he wipes off his
tears. This cotton is afterward squeez-
ed into bottle, and the tears are pre-
served as a powerful and efficacious
remedy for reviving dying man after
every other means have failed. 1t is
also employed as a charm against evil
influences. This custom is probably
alluded to in Psalm vi, 8: "Put thou
my tears into a bottle.'' The practice
was once universal, as is found by the
tear bottles which are found in almost
every ancient tomb, for the ancients
buried them with their dead as a proof
of their affection.

"Well, how fairp"
'I'll say $50 for the two."
"What twop"
"Why, the moving this week into
the brown-stone, and the moving, in
about month, from that into a cheap
frame house in the suburbs. I always

A Popular FaIlacy.

Among the unexploded fallacies
must be reckoned the popular error of
making 1t incumbent on blush TO al
ways follow lie."
II was q popular lawyer who spoke,
. man whose face may be seen almost
any time in the Criminal court build
ing when a more than usually interest
ing malefactor is on trial, man to
whom large and varied experience
with liars of all sorts must be conceded.
"Will you elucidateP" said the re-
porter.
THAT will, me boy. Whenever 1
hear person testify on the witness
stand l observe two things: whether
that person is quiet, self-possessed, and
glib, or else embarrassed, easily dis
concerted, and led into contradiction.
In the first case, know that no power
on earth could make that person blush,
no matter how untruthful the testi-
mony might be. In the latter case,
though, 1 am aware that blush will fol-
low blush as the cross-examination gets
more and more lively. Experienced
liars, those who make lying profitable
to them, never blush. They consider
this sign of moral and physical weak
ness as below their dignity. The fact
is that no prevaricator of any magri-
tude at all ever is guilty of blushing.
1t is only the greenhorn in this business
who colors when he sees that his lie is
not believed-but only then, not other
wise even with him. The smoothest
and most accomplished liars are found,
not among the female sex as another
widespread error will have it, but
among the males. You see, it takes
more than ordinary strength of charac-
ter, very good memory, and logical
mind to carry through successfully a
system of avoiding the truth. Now,
that is where the ladies are deficient.
They can tell beautiful lies on the spur
of the moment with the apparent can
dor of a white-souled priestess of Vesta,
but they cannot be consistent about it,
nor can they evolve in their logical Sc
quence one lie after the other till per-
fectly formed pyramid of them has
been built up, on the apex of which
their placidly slumbering conscience
may gracefully recline."
81 think you're rather hard ON the
ladies there" said the newspaper man,
who recalled some very brilliant ex-
ploits by women in this particular line.
"Trust me, know whereof 1 am
speaking. AS for their capacity not to
blush when Disgusting the facts, the
women compare very well with the
men, but not in the above points. And
as for blushing generally, I've found
that you very rarely will meet liar
above the age of 12 who will blush un-
der any consideration. In fact, the
most barefaced, cold-blooded liars,
combining effrontery with skill, are to
be encountered in the youth of this
land, both sexes sharing alike in the
honor. There is another curious fact
I ought to mention. 1t concerns my
own profession. While a lawyer, when
pleading before Judge, or when deal
ing with his clients or brother attor-
neys. is a man justly reputed for his
judicious mendacity, he strangely
enough lacks that quality if, by any
chance, he is put on the witness stand.

Professor Thomson, in a recent lect-

Professor Thomson, in recent lect-
ure, informed his audience that the
magnetic pole is now near Boothia
Felix, or more than 1000 miles west of
the geographical pole. In 1867 the
magnetic pole was due north, it having
been eastward before that year. Then
it began to move westward until 1916,
when the maximum was reached. This
is now being steadily diminished, and
in 1876 it will again point due north.
Professor Thomson says that the chan
ges which will have been observed not
only in the direction, but in the
strength of the earth's magnetism, will
show that the same causes which orig
inally magnetized the earth are still at
work.

from nc PftituGetp!t9d hec0fd,J
General James c. Strong of Buffalo, was here
this week. He arrived on the twenty -second
anniversary of the day upon which he was
shot down upon a Southern battlefield lie
was struck in the nip (the wound is famous
among physicians and surgeons I'm told) in a
very peculiar way, and lay by a log in great
agony all day. In the evening after the battle
he heard the voices of his men calling him
from different quarters of the field. Colonel
Strong!" they shouted. He replied by shouting
at the top of his voice. Here 1 ami Here
| ami" Still his men keptshouting, Colonel
Strongi" Colonel Strong!n Again he replied
with all his might: Here am +" " Here I
ami" The searchers came nearer still shouting,
" Colonel Strong" Colonel Strong!" Colonel
Strong always replied: Here ami" with
all his might. At last they were within three
feet Of him. Here am I" he shouted. They
came nearer, but in a slow, uncertain way.
Finally one ofthem leaned over the log, flashing
his lantern light full on the PROSTATE man.
" Why, here's the Colonel now" he said TO his
companions in tones of surprise. So they
gathered him up and carried him to the hospital
AS soon as he was well enough he asked the
man who had found him on the battlefield why
he had not come to him at once when he heard
him shouting, Here / ami" "We didn't
hear you sir" said the soldier, until we leaned
over the log, and then we heard you whisper
in scarcely audible tones, Here / am"

Avn Anti-soldler Pager on the Platform.
LFrom Me BufaLo Enpress.l

The most Objectionable plank in the entire
platform is that which declares in favor of an
indefinite extension of the pensions arrears
act. The Express has often denounced such a
proposition as worse than wasteful, and has no
other opinion Of it now. The proposal to ex-
tend national aid to education when every
State which cares for the education of it's youth
is abundantly able to provide for it, seems to
us also indefensible. Both of these provisions
in the platform look to the emptying of the
Treasury, without any reduction of taxation,
and The Express is plumply opposed to them.
