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
provements 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 OF. weight,
press it squarely in the center when closed,
and it will not give, while 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.

Where the Fire is Out.
Magic No More Mystery Seen
From Across the world.

"Halo of Aleppo," said Sir Philip Der
val, had mastered every secret in nature
which the nobler magic seeks to fathom He
discovered that the true art OF healing IS to
assist Nature to throw off the disease-to
summon, as it were, the whole system to
eject the enemy that has fastened on q part
His processes all included the reinvigoration
of the principle of life"
In this the Eastern sage merely anticipated
the practice Of the best physicians of to-day.
What life Itself is, nobody knew then nobody
knows now Bnt we have learned something
of the reason why the mysterious tide rises
and falls. Provided the great organs of the
body are not irrepnrably destroyed, medical
science can always relieve, and often save.
Yet no reputable physician now adheres to
tn barbarous and stupid processes or deple-
ton, such as bleeding, by which 1t was at
tempted to cure disease by reducing the pa
TENTS ability to resist 1t. Nowadays we do
not tear the fort to help the garrison
we strengthen 1t.
In this Intelligent and bencfcent work, it is
conceded that PAkNER'S TONIC leads all
other medicines AS an inVgorant 1t acts
Immediately aud powerfully upon the circu-
lnton and the organs of digestion. thus Civ
ing Nature the ASSISTANCE she calls for. II
follows that all ailmcnts OF the stomach, kid
neys and liver are Mt once relieved or cured
No other preparation einbodies the same
qualities or produces similar results. 1t Ii

the Ladies Aid of Christ Church, to be
held in the Island Pond Hall on Friday
evening of this week will be fully up to

and paid in full, and 81, 900 cash in his
hands. The books were there to show
every dollar of receipts and every dollarI
of the expenditures. There was nothing
to conceal, either as to where the mOne}
came from or where it went to. c
Shortly after the Presidential elcctioui
of 1880 it was charged by many DEMO-
Gratis, and the charge was elaborated in d
prominent Democratic newspaper OF the
West. that the Hon. Samuel j. Tllden,
piuucd at the failure of the Democracy
to force upon him nomination which he
had formally and voluntarily declined, Sc
cretly endeavored to effect General Han
cocks defeat, working partially through
his trusty friends in the all-important
State of New York.
If any member of the National Com
mittee was weak enough to believe this
charge, what must have been his surprise,
upon looking at the books placed before
him, to find that sums were subscribed
and paid in as follows:
