How WQtch Cases are Made.

\ plate Of SOLID GOLD II 2-1O karats
fine is soldercd on each side of plate Of
hard nickel composition metal, and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this plate the various
parts of the cases-backs, centers, bezels,etc.
are cut and shaped by dies and formers.
The gold is thick enough to admit of all
kinds of chasing, engraving, and engine
turning. The composition metal gives it
needed strength, Stiffness and solidtty, while
the ,critten guarantee Of the manufacturers
,carrantimg each case to wear t,re'ay years
proves that it contains all the gold that
can possibly be needed. This guarantee
is given from actual results, as ma"y Of

To him or he- In spite Of sex;
II there be more, % we'll there may,
They al shall take "per capita"
But If degrees perchance there be,
OF different consanguinity,
As sons and grandsons all shall take,
And an estate In common make;
But such grandsons have cause to fear 1t;
They'll not an item more inherit
Than would have been their fathers share,
Had he been the living heir.
But If the owner meets his fate
No hneal heir to his estate,
We've dared the common law to mend,
And his estate shall not ascend.
Again: in case the owner do
Lack issue and lack parents too,
His brothers aud his sisters shall
Succeed by rules collateral.
If brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces,
They then will take in equal pieces
II some be dead, some living be,
They'll take by nearness of degree,
And in default of father, mother,
And nephews, nieces, sisters, brothers,
Or issue, the estate can't fall,
Ous yCt ~ WALL T1eo 6OOV0 8us
Again: and If perchance there shall
Be no descendants Iineal-
If parents, brothers, sisters, none,
With their descendants meath the sun,
Nor the grandparents, the estate
Shall, by unerring legal fate,
Unto the aunts and ulcles wend,
And those who from them may descend;
If equally related, they
Will take their part "per CAPITA"
But if in different degrees,
They I'LL shall take "per stripes"
Provided, If the intestate had
Derived his living from his dad,
1t shall to aunts and uncles slice,
And issue on the fathers side;
And If none such there be percharce,
Then to the uncles and the aunts,
On the maternal side twill go:
And this rule works Sc converse"

1t will probably astonish many to
know that three-fourths of all the chick
ems brought to this market are consum-
ed by the Chinese, and that nine-tenths
of oil the tame ducks share the same fate.
The longer one lives the more he finds
by jimminy out, and instead of the
Chinaman feasting on rat pie, as he is
popularity supposed to do, he has Just
three times as much chicken pie on his
bill of fare as the white man. and nine
times as much stewed duck. The China
man is peculiar. Geese or turkey he
does not care for, and wild ducks OF any
other game which has been shot are an
abomination in his almond-shaped ewes,
" Heap like 'em alive" is Johns remark
when any dead fowls are offered him.
His taste in fish is also peculiar. He
avoids salmon, but goes his last nickel
on suckers and sturgeon, or anv salt
water fish which has been long out of
water. Well, the salmon is royal fish.
1t is death to dogs, and does not seem to
agree with Cinnamon. The massive
brain of the Caucasian is the onlv one
able to cope with and successfully as
simulate the phosphorus of the luscious
Chinook.

Machine Guns in War.

The announcement that an American
officer has received permission to inspect
the British machine guns at Woolwich
has called attention to their ADVANTAGES
and disadvantages in war. 4 writer in
the Pail Mall Gazette thus criticises the
employment of machine guns on the field
of battle: eff the range is correct and
the mark remains steady great execution
will be dole, but the slightest error will
throw every bullet out, except at short
range. Thus the French found that
their attempts with the mitrailleuse,
even at such short distance as 1900
yards, were perfectly futile, and that
their new weapon had not the slightest
chance against the field artillery Of that
time. Since then the German field ar
tillery has more than doubled its eff
cheney. Against their shrapnel thrown
with the present high velocities. the
mitrailleuse would have less chance than
ever. The reply of the German army to
the question, What is the place of the
machine gun in the field of battle p has
been, 1t has no place, and whatever
additional men and horses can be given,
should be devoted to increasing the field
artillery Accordingly machine guns
have not been introduced for the field,
but the field artillery has been largely
Increased in proportion to the other
arms. Exactly the same course has
been pursued by the French and by
every other great continental power.
None have adopted machine guns for
the field; all have increased and devel-
oped their field artillery. When we re.
member that France, Germany, Austria,
Turkey, Russia, have all lately passed
through the furnace of war, and had
most of their crochetty dross burned
out of them, their unanimous opinion
ought surely to outweigh the theoretical
ideas of few partisans who still cling
to the notion of finding In the machine.
gun weapon worth the cost of the men
and horses required for it's use. They
admit that it cannot face field artillery
at artillery ranges; that it's projectiles
have no power whatever against walls or
buildings or earthworks, but they be-
lieve that, when two hostile bodies of in
fantry are closing, the machine guns can
be brought from cover, where they have
remained till then, and will exercise a
great influence over the result of the
combat. No doubt they would in such
a case, provided the infantry fight hap
pened to be where they could TO-"
