How Watch Gases are Made.

This process Of manufacture was invented
by James Boss, who started in business in
1854 and the methods and tools used in
making these watch cases ere covered by
patents. This is the only match case made

PRODUCTION of these goods was slow, owing
topopular prejudice against plated goods,
but gradually the public learned that the
James Boss Gold Watch Case was not a
cheap goId-cccshed or electro-plated article,
but was made of genuine gold plates of
standard quality and thickness. Conscientious
adherence to the determination to make
the best watch case ever put on the market,

Vital Questions.

Ask the most eminent physician
OF any school, what is the best thing in
the world for quoting and allaying all If
ritation of the nerves and curing all forms
of nervous complaints, giving natural.
childlike refreshing sleep always?
And they will tell you unhesitatingly
"Some form of hops!''
CHAPTER 1.
Ask any or all of the most eminent ply
sicians:
s'What is the best and only remedy that
can be relied on to cure all diseases OF the
kidneys and uridary organs; such as
Brights disease, diabetes, retention or
inability to retain urine, and all the dis
eases and ailments peculiar to Women
"And they will tell you explicitly and
emphatically ''Buchu.''
Ask the same physicians
''What is the most reliable and surest
cure for all liver diseases or. dyspepsia ;
constipation, indigestion, biliousness,
malarIal fever, ague, &c." and they will
tell you:
Mandrake or Dandelion %
Hence, when these remedies are COM
bined with others equally valuable
And compounded into Hop Bitters, such
a wonderful and mysterious curative power
is developed which is so varied in its OPP
erations that no disease or i'll health can
possibly exist or resist its power, and yet

POULTRY In ORCHARDs.-Some farm
ers make it a practice to keep their
poultry in their orchards from early
spring until cold weather sets in, and
they find it pays. A picket fence
should be built around the orchard,
high enough to prevent their flying
over, with suitable buildings in one
corner of the yard to shelter them at
night. Thus situated, the poultry
will thrive and prosper, keeping
themselves in good condition, and
the increase of eggs will be greatly
augmented and their usefulness en-
HANGED to their owners at least, on
account of the myriads of insects and
worms they destroy, and which will
more than repay the cost and labor OF
building the fence. By keeping
them enclosed in this manner q large
number of fowls may be retained il
the orchard, and the continual scratch
ing which is done by them proves adj
vantageous both to the sol! and the
trees themselves.

Late feeding in the spring gives
your pastures chance to get good
growth Of grass, which will be matur-
ed enough to sustain them alone af-
ter about one weeks change from dry
feed to grass. Grain should be fed
literally until the grass will do this,
then it ought to be removed entirely
until the hot dry weather of late Ju-
ly or August, and give the blood a
chance to become thoroughly puri-
fed by feeding grass alone. This
can be accomplished in the same
manner by soiling with green crops,
and summer feeding of stock in tight
barn yards, and produce grand re-
suits if you can command the labor
to perform the work.

COTTAGE CHEESE.-Use the pro-
portion of two quarts of sour milk to
six of sweet Put the kinds Of milk
together in a kettle or large basin,
and place on the stove where it will
keep moderately warm, not stirring
until the curd separates from the
whey, then remove it with a skinner
to coarse clean cloth, tie it up and
drain off the whey. If wanted to
use soon, squeeze out with the hand
all the wet and put the curd on q
plate. and add an even tablespoonful
of butter and very little salt. If
it seems too dry and crumbly add a
little sweet cream and work it in
evenly with the hand. Those who
prefer sour cheese can make it in the
same way from buttermilk or any
sour milk that is not bitter, and when
the butter and salt have been thor
oughly mixed with the curds, press
them tightly in a deep earthern dish,
from which the cheese can be sliced
when ready to serve.

has spoken to crowded houses in Jack
sonville is at the Westmoreland and will
probably be prevailed upon to lecture in
Palatka.
Mr.. a. Perkins, of Rochester, n. Y,
some of whose landscape paintings have
found their way even to Palatka, and
who is widely known in artistic circles
throughout the north, favored us with
visit last evening. Mr.. Perkins has been
in Palatka for some weeks and his magi-
cal touch will rescue from danger Of de

A Stormy Passage.

Captain George Washington, colored,
commands freight sailing boat between
this point and Jacksonville. On Tuesday
last he left the latter city with a cargo of
10000 bricks, consigned to William F.
Forward at this point, but Captain Wash
ington came near not making the voyage.
His craft was heavily laden and to add
to his misfortunes the weather was rough
and after springing a leak he had to put
IN at Deep Creek and cork his seams.
He reports the swells and waves on the
river almost equal in volume to those at
sea, and a great deal more dangerous. On
yesterday the captain, whose iIlustri-
Gus name marks him as a prominent
man on the river, was working along
with his stevedores, over whose heads he
would occasionally burst bomb of bro
caded profanity.

Millions in Barbed Wire.

The manufacture of barbed wire has
made millions for many men. The great
west may be said to be fenced with bar
bed wire. The $500 miles of fencing
dest royed by the Blue Devils of Texas
this winter was all of barbed wire. The
most familiar pattern of this fencing is
made by twisting two strands of thick
wire together so that at every few feet
the pointed ends Of the metal thread pro-
ject at right angles with the lengths.
During the civil war and for ten years
thereafter thirty patents We're issued for
barbed wire. Before that, plain wire had
been used ON the great farms and pas
lures, its cheapness rendering it prefer
able to any other material A Worcester
man bought up all the barbed wire pat
ents and the firm he established had the
patents reissued, and then asserted that
this gave them the control of the princi-
pie. 1t took them years to get a decis-
ion sustaining them, and in the mean
time barbed wire factories sprung up like
mushrooms all over the west. After the
decision, the Worcester men got all the
other makers together and issued forty
licenses to as many firms to continue
making the Wire, each being limited to
a certain output, obliged to sell at a GER
tain figure, and compelled to pay the
Worcester men $50 ton The little
makers We're all crushed out.
The monopoly raised the price two
cents a pound and added $4,000, 900 to
the profit in half dozen states. Iowa
felt the burden most and there some
farmers formed an association and set up
a Des MOines man to manufacture moon
shine wire for them, and to test the
rights OF the monopoly. The law indi-
rectly aided them The supreme court
in Washington, in the case Of Miller agt.
the Brass Company, dealt blow at the
abuse of reissued patents. Persons had
been hunting up patents for inventions
distinctly resembling successful new de-
vices, and by purchasing these patents for
a song, had been getting them reissued
in shapes so broadened and strengthened
as to make them cover the new devices.
The supreme courts decision strength
ened the Iowa farmers. In 1888 the
United States district court for southern
Iowa declared the reissued barbed wire
patents invalid, and last week another
decision in a measure reaffirmed that de-
cree. The fight still goes on upon such
grounds as remains for the Worcester
men.

Badges.

The fashions bear hard upon at least
one of our citizens. Harry Heath, the
jeweler, has always kept the even tenor
of his life undisturbed by the follies of
the fashionable world, but the dudes and
dudesses have lately taken a great fancy
to monOgrams engraved on silver coins
and to crafty their imperative demand
Mr.. Heath has been forced to telegraph
for assistance.
The rage for badges is epidemic in our
town and the symptoms are beginning
to get near the point marked dangerous.
Porters, draymen, and hotel clerks must
have each separate and distinctive
mark, while the bellies wear bracelets full
of jingling coins on which are carved
the hieroglyphics of their dudes-O tenn

The HeadIess COrDse.

Mention was made in these columns
few days ago of the finding of head
less corpse, that had been thrown up by
the waves at Sunny Point inside of the
cooperate limits. The body was so mutt
lated by fishes and aligators and in such
a state of putrefection that no attempt
was made at that time to hold an inquest
and the body was buried in the Potter's
field. Among the articles taken off the
corpse at the time it was found was a
wooden cigar holder, with the stump of
a cigar fixed in it, This was found in
the vest pocket and along with other
articles of small value were turned over
to the sheriff and by him placed in a Sc
cure place. On yesterday deputy Sheriff
Montmollin obtained powerful magni-
flying glass and subjected some of these
articles to inspection and the name of
wv. Bright was singurlarly enough dis
covered written in ink on this cigar hol-
der. 1t is to be hoped that this clew
may lead to the full identification of
the dead stranger. There is something
very remarkable and withal sad about
his MYSTERIOUS fate.

and he put so much steam on that a five
