How Watch Cases are Made.

The many great improvements intro
dacel in the manufacture of the Jas. Boss
Gold Watch Case, have led to similar i'm
proycments 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 a great
amount of cutting and soldering, which
satened 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, lor every one knows that hammering
hardcns the metal while soldering soitens it.
TO test the superiority of the Keystone
Silver Watch Case, take one of 3 OF. weight,
press it squarely in the center when closed,
and it will not give, while case of same
wc! lit of any other make will give enough
to'rcak the crystal. The Keystone Silver
Watch Case is made only with silver cap
and gold joints.

Some Curious Locks and Keys.

In the Middle Ages locks for church and
of metal work Elaborate scrolls, the i'm
ages of saints, and other ambitious efforts
of the true artisan of those days, entered
into the design of locks, which were really
an ornament to the magnificent doors and
cabinets of those times. A design for the
escutcheon surrounding the keyhole frequ-
emily hac the figures of two guardian an
gels with outspread wings. Locks of very
curious construction, known as "Apostle
lock, were also common in medieval times.
These locks had on the front the figure of
one of the Apostles, and on touching the
hand of the figure the bolts few back. In
the reign of Queen Elizabeth, one Mark
Scalist, smith, constructed a lock consist
ing of elven pieces of iron, steel and brass,
all of which, with pipe key, weighed only
two grains. That great inventor, the Mar
quis of Worcester, who fourished in the
reign of King Charles l., devised lock
containing steel barb, which was perfect
ly harmless so long as the right key was
used, but if wrong key was inserted the

caught the hand of the intruder as trap
catches fox 1t is said that while the in
ventor was experimenting with this curious
lock he was scarcely nimble enough in re-
moving his hand, and was caught in his
own trap At Willenhall, in Stafordshire,
which is a great seat of the lock trade, silver
padlocks, the sides of which are much
smalles than three-penEy piece, are still
made, and are quite perfect in their mech
anism Locks containing single bells, and
even chimes, which sound an alarm when
tampered with by false key, are among
the modern curiosities of the trade. Com
mon padIocks are largely made for the ma
tives of India and Africa at Walsall. A
lock and key complete are sold by the max
er for half-penny, and merchants abroad
state that many of the natives string these
locks together so as to form necklaces, and
wear them as "charms."

How Fowls Grind Their Food.

Fowls have no teeth to grind or masticate
their food with, and the best they are able to
do with it is to pick it and swallow it whole.
Kernels of grain are swallowed by them, and
as they are surrounded by tough pellicle
or skin, which the juice of the stomach of
the animals will not readily dissolve or di-
gest, they could obtain no nourishment at
all from the grain if this tough pellicle was
not broken. Now, if we 'dissect the giz-
zard of a fowl of any kind, we have a lot
of small gravel stones, which are usually
the hardest kind of flint, granite or sand
stone. Surely here is pocket edition of
farm grist mills.
Fowls swallow their food, broken or not,
and it enters the crop or first stomach and
remains in it until it has become softened
more or less, when small quantity at a
time, just as grain runs into grist mill, is
forced into the gizzard among the gravel
stones, This gizzard is strong, muscular
stomach, and plays night and day when
there is grist to grind, similar to bellows,
contracting and expanding, thus forcing the
gravel stones into the grain and breaking it
into fragments and triturating the whole
mass, after which it is in a suitable condi-
tion to be quickly digested

IRON TONIC AND BLOOD
PURIFIER,

The only preparation of iron in solution in
which the iron has not been oxidized or rusted.
Everyone knows that iron in most any form
is good tonic; but when you have a prepa-
ration of irpn in solution, in which the iron
has not been rusted, you have superior ar
ticle. Iron when oxidized or rusted has most
of its life or virtue destroyed.
This preparation is as hmpid and trans
parent as spring water, and readily assimi-
lates the food taken into the stomach, the
only means of reaching the blood, and in that
manner penetrating every part of your system.
If your physician prescribes tonic for you
call his attention to this preparation, and he
will tell you that it must be the best
This preparation has been tried and tested
by Gombete1t physicians and pronounced the
best, and not 4 single individual that has Esea
it to our knowledge but says that they have
been greatly benefited. Besides, it has made
cures in cases that physicians had treated for
years without success. It's q certain remedy
in anemia, nervousness, dyspepsia, -chills and
feyers, and all diseases incident to malaria.
Female diseases, Kidney and urinary or
gans, lost vitality, impotenGY, rheumatisgl,

eases, and, in fact, In all cases requiring a

Caring for the Feet.

There is no part of the human body that
needs more attention than the feet. They
may be neglected or even abused without
any bad consequences being Immediately
felt; they will to certainty be eventually
felt, and felt very sorely too, An exces-
sive flow of blood to the head, extreme La
bility to cold, disordered digestion and
other numerous evils are the results of in
attention to the feet The feet should be
regularly washed and wiped every day.
Stockings should not be put on while there
is the slightest moisture on the feet. The
stockings absorb the moisture, and grad
ually return it to the feet, thereby causing
them to feel cold aud uncomfortable, and
what is worse, when the feet are cold, the
circulation is interfered with, and the whole
system, especially the brain, is thrown into
an abnormal state. Keep the feet clean
aud warm, the head cool and the bowels
open. If you wish to preserve your whole
system in good working order, be sure and
preserve your feet.
