The First Watch.
Pittsburg Dispatch.

P1ttsburg D1Spatcn.
At first the watch was about the size
of dessert plate. 1t had weights and
was used as 'spocket clock" The
earliest known use of the modern name
occurs in the record of 1862, which
mentions that Edward vi. had tone
larum or watch of iron, the case being
likewise of iron gilt, with two plum
NETS of lead" The first watch may
really be supposed to be of rude execu-
ton. The first great improvement was
in 1860. The earliest springs were not
coiled, but only straight pieces of steel:
EARLY watches had only one hand, and
being wound up twice a day they could
not be expected to keep the time of day
exactly. The dials were of silver and
of brass, the cases had no crystals bnt
opened at the back and front, and were
four or five inches in diameter. A
plain watch cost more than 81 800, and
after one was ordered it took year to
make it.

A Sioux Revolt.

The old Beadle dime novels are cast
into the shade compared with some of
the real life sketches of the Indian
girls in the Lincoln institutional school,
at Wayne, Mr.. Childs' summer town on
the Pennsylvania railroad There is a
very bright and interesting Indian girl
named Lizzie Spider, the last being her
fathers name, which she assumed, a
custom the girls nearly all follow. A
few years ago she was at. the Indian
school at Carlisle, pupil, where she
learned considerable. When she went
back, during the summer vacation, her
father sold her to a young Indian brave
for a number of ponies, which is the
accustomed form of marriage among
the Sioux. She had just received
enough education to revolt against the
savage life that was to be thrust upon
her, so she ran away and hid for many
months in the woods, going by stealth
occasionally to the huts Of friends to
get supplies of food. During his last
visit to Yankton Capt. Pratt heard of
her, and after search found her and
brought her back with him and put her
in the Lincoln school, where she now
is She says she don't want to be sold
for ponies and cook and work for a saw

Union Pacific had called the attention
OF their general manager to this mat

Mr.. Bird referred the above commu-

had been discussed with all the general

faster time be made on such freight, but
neither the Rock Island, Northwestern

the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy on

the general freight agents should take
the matter before their general mana.

Webster on Political Reputation.

A correspondent of the Chicago Inter
Ocean sends that paper an extract
from the address of Daniel Webster on
the death of Chief Justice Mason, Of
Massachusetts,:
s'But, sir, political eminence and
professional fame fade away and die
with things earthly. Nothing of char
acter is really permanent but virtue
and personal worth. These rsmain.
Whatever of excellence is wrought into
the soul itself belongs to both worlds.
Real goodness does not attach itself
merely to this life; it points to another
world. Political or professional repu-
tation cannot last forever; but con-
science void of offense before God
and man is an inheritance for eternity.
Religion, therefore, is an indispensable
element in any great human character.
There is no living without. Religion
Creator and holds him to His throne.
If that tie be all sundered, all broken,
he floats away to worthless atom in the
universe; its proper attractions all
gone; its destiny thwarted, and its
whole future nothing but darkness,
desolation and death. A man with no
sense of religious duty is he whom the
Scriptures describe in such terse but
terrific language as living without God
in the world Such q man is out of
his proper being, out of the circle of
all happines. and away, far away,
from the happiness of his creation"

They control now nearly the whole of

Live Babies as Playthings.
New.York Letter

Tx
Let us get into more polite society.
The fashionable girl has new toy.
She has taken to Live dolls. She plays
with borrowed babies. She expresses
the motherly instinct quite abnormally,
If we concede that what she does is
spontaneous. Her present delight is to
get possession of pretty infant and
subject it to such extravagances of
fondling and adornment at will serve
the purpose of frivolity. When she
drives in a village cart through Gen.
trail Park nurse maid sits beside her
to hold the little pet. When she goes
shopping the servant carries the baby
from carriage to store and back again.
When called upon in her own resi-
.dence, she is found with the child in
her coddling arms. Nothing in the
freakish line of girlish diversion has
ever taken a more sudden hold on pass
ing fancy. Of course, pretty babies
are in urgent demand, Wherever one
exists the family is disturbed by COM
petition between sisters, cousins and
aunts to get possession. And if no
baby in blood relationship can be pro-
cured, the eager young mother-by-
brevet does not hesitate to procure one
from among the offspring Of some poor
and obliging woman. The wardrobes
which accompany this indulgence of
alive playthings are wonders of beauty,
taste and cost. In dry goods store.

"Young America" wants to know
why we speak of candidate ''run-

has its origin, my son, in a famous In
dian amusement called trimming the
gauntlet In this exciting national
game the citizens ranged themselves
in two lines, facing each other, each
free and Independent voter and his
wife being armed with clubs, stones,
hickory ssgads,'' black-snake mule
whips and one thing and another.
Down between these lines the candi-
date started on the iveliest run his
eager legs could do, and the citizens
with great enthusiasm kept him up to
his work by letting him have it when
ever they. could reach him as he sailed.
Every time he received an unusually
vicious thump, that raised a welt like q
stuffed snake or laid the hide open to
the bone, or erected a Prussian blue
lump as big as a hens egg,

delight and the delegates ear

him with the greatest consider alton,
shook hands with him and asked him
to have something with them, at the
same time expressing not only their
forgiving willingness, but their most
magnanimous anxiety to have anything
with him, and the man who had hit
him the awfnllest lick, right across the
misery, with a mahogany club,
trimmed with spikes, came right up
and assured him that in all their differ
ences of opinion during the cause he
had ever maintained the profoundest

Origin and Contagion Of Phthisis.


DR.. Louis D. Brose, of the Evansville
Medical College, Ind, has contributed
rather lengthy article to The Medical
Record concerning some experiments
to determine if it is possible for tuber-
culosis or consumption to be conveyed
from one person to another by particles
of sputa in the air. He concludes, first,
that tuberculosis may follow the breath
ing of air carrying particles of sputa
from phthisical patients; second, that
the breath and saliva of consumptive
persons are liable to convey either
through kissing or by direct inhalation
through close contact the same disease
to a healthy person. The greater the
concentration of the breath inhaled the
greater the danger; and he closed his
article with the following concise state
ment of his own opinion:
''My own opinion regarding the
origin of tuberculosis, formed from re-
search and no inconsiderable clinical
experience with the disease, is that, like
diphtheria, it is ordinarily determined
by certain peculiarities and susceptible
tiles in individuals, together with the
presence of a specific principal. Now
when person who has this popularity
of weak lungs, or, in other words, one
in whom bronchial and catarrhal trou-
bles are easily excited, has superadded
the infection of tuberculosis, let it be in
q minimum amount, we have arising
true consumption running through its
various stages. Even healthy persons
can thus be infected when the specific
matter is inhaled in large quantities
just as the poison in other infectious
diseases will certainly produce these
same diseases when inoculated in con-
centrated quantities in persons who
would otherwise escape.

Hints About Picnics.

Susan Anna Brown, in st. Nicolas for July.
The most important part of picnic,
however, is not the weather or the
place or the dinner. You may choose
the most beautiful spot in the world,
and spread the most delicious lunch
ever prepared, and yet have the whole
thing complete failure, simply be-
cause the company was not well
selected. ,&
Out of doors, where people are free
from formality, unless they are con-
genial friends, and what Mrs. Whitney
calls "Real Folks" they will be likely
to feel ill at ease, and miss the support
given by company, clothes and man
ners. Small picnics, for this reason
among others, are usually much pleas
anter than large picnics.
In making up the party, be sure to
leave behind the girl who is certain to
be too warm or too cold, or to think
some other place better than the one
where she is, and who has "a horrid
time" if she has to submit to any per-
sonal inconvenience for the sake of
others; and with her, the boy who loves
to tease, and who is quite sure that his
way is the only good way. Put into
their places some others, young or old,
who love simple pleasures, and are
ready to help others to enjoy them.
Next in Importance to the company
is the place. It must not be at a great
distance, or you will all be tired, not
to say cross, when you arrive there. 1t
must be reasonably shady, and not too
far from a supply of good drinking wa
ter. If the company are to walk, you
must be especially careful not to be
overburdened with baskets and wraps,
for the bundles which seemed SO Liz hit
when you started are sure to weigh
down much more heavily before you
reach your destination. Be careful to
have this work fairly distributed.
Never start until you are sure that
you know just where you are going,
and the best way of getting there.
Wandering about to choose a place,
and thinking constantly to find one
more desirable, is very fatiguing.
That matter should be settled before
hand by two or three of the party, and
the others should 90 straight to the
spot, and make the best OF it. If any
do not like it, they can choose differ
ent place when their turn comes to
make the selection,

AN AFRICAN RAILROAD.
The Proposed Line from tho Red Sea- Into
-t5. the Soudan.

The inevitable expedition will have
to 90 by the route which nature indi.
Gates, and man has followed since the
days of Cambysees-that is to say, by
the Suakim-Berber line, which is the
nearest passage between the Red Sea
and the Fifth Cataract. just as certain
it is that a railway connecting these
points will prove the indispensable ad-
iunct and instrument of the undertake
ing. The narrow-gauge Ane which we
can and must lay would 60 up with the
troops, water, feed and support them,
connect them at every hour with the
sea and supplies, and continue to exist
and to be profitable when the last Brit
ish soldier had quilted Suakim. Long
ago such line ought to have been con-
structed. It has been contemplated
ever since the early days of Ishmail,
and Tewfik would have established it,
had Hicks defeated the Mahdi. We
ourselves observed, when the discussion
first arose about dispatching Gordon,
that ssthe best possible Governor Gem
eral for the Soudan would be the Ber-
ber-Suakim railway" Even if Egypt
expended the morning for its construc-
ton, it would prove the wisest outlay
she ever made; but as part of the cost
of the campaign of relief alone, it
would save vast sums, and may be con-
sidered, indeed, as a sine qua non of
the enterprise, and the first and most
important business to take in hand,
when once the word is uttered that all
these people who look to England for
succour are not to perish.
OF course the railway thus contem.
plated must be cheap and simple. Ex-
perienced contractors affirm that mar
row-gauge line can be laid { yer the easy
country in question at the rate of five
or six miles day. The distance is
about 2S0 miles, and, allowing for pre-
parations and organization, it could be
finished, whatever the weather, in four
months. 1t is estimated to cost ESQ.,
600; but then it would by property,
and very good one, sure to develop
commerce and intercourse and s'smash
the Mahdi" by the means most fatal to
him. Fifty miles of the metals are ly-
ing ready at Woolwich; the ironmas-
tiers of the midlands could supply one
hundred more on short notice, and the
rest could soon be provided. Pay
ment, slender enough in the eyes of the
British navy, but dazzling to an Arab,
would set the tribes to work night and
day upon the job, and every league
completed could be protected by armed
trucks and engines, which could be
held like mobile fortresses. Water may
be got in quantities by means OF tube
wells wherever the Arabs find it in
dribbles, or might be run up and stored
in tanks; and all the way to within fif-
ty miles of Berber there are springs,
while at Kobreb, on high ground, there
is quite a beautiful oasis, tit for a sani-
tary station. Moving up by this swift
built line-which would have no great
elevations to climb, and no serious hol-
lows to bridge-the column of rescue
would arrive at Berber, probable with
little or no fighting, for even the iercest
tribes would know the MahLi's reign to
be over when the railway echoed from
Mount Eskoweet.
