rious case. / understand that New
York firm of watchmakers have per
fected a machine by which they CAL
thoroughly demagnetize watch with
in twenty-four hours. 1t is very
common to have watches affected
during a display of aurora borealis
Some very curious things concerning
watches come under a matchmaker
observation at times. I remember a
lady who used to bring me her watch
sometimes as often as once a week,
it was either too fast or too slow with
her; while it hung up in the shop ii
ran as steady as state house clock.
[ studied that watch, and one day !
came across something in an English
theological magazine that opened my
eyes. 1t was simplya little item say
ing that sometimes delicately adjusted
watches were affected by the temper
ament of their wearers.
AFFECTED BY PERSONAL MAGNETISM.
The whole thing flashed upon me
in moment. The woman's watch
was affected by herself. l found out
that she was of a highly nervous
temperament, but would at times
suffer from attacks of dependency.
The watch only recorded her tempera-
ment. When she was vivacious it
went fast, when she was in a low
mood it went slow. Very often it is
impossible to regulate a watch for
some men by keeping the timepiece
in the shop. There is some physical
peculiarly about the man it may be
his gait, his temperament, or an excess
of bodily electricity. In these cases
/ let the man wear the watch centin-
ually and then regulate it to his
peculiarities.
Bodily electricity is very marked
in certain persons L knew a young
matchmaker in whom it became so
strong that he was obliged to give up
that branch of the trade, because it
was found that he magnetized the
delicate hair-springs."
"Do you think that watch taken
to the electrical exhibition building
would suffer-"
sit would undoubtedly in some
respect, and if the wearer came in
actual contact with some of the larger
machines / am inclined to think the
watch would become magnetized. |
shall visit the exhibition and will
make some experiments with watch
myself. "-Philadelphia Times.

seen nowadays She wears scarcely
any jewelry, and what she wears is of
the least snowy kind. There are
children here of 10 or II years old
who look more matronly and dress
more like mature women than does
this little bride. She does not seem
to have her head turned in the least
by her thus far successful matrimonial
venture, nor by the attention she at
tracts during this, her first trip to the
east.

"Magnetized watches? Oh, yes,

to us for treatment" said nj. j. Val

had case of that kind only short
time ago. A gentleman brought me
q valuable chronometer balance
watch. It had fits, as he expressed
it. The watch would stop for twenty
or thirty minutes, then go on as well
as ever, then stop again, and SO on.
It was not very bad case of magnet
ism; he had only been in the habit
of visiting the electric light works on
Arch street and standing by the ma
chine. I demagnetized his watch in
forty-eight hours, by using the Eng

slow work. Three or four days is
usually required to demagnetize Sc

Philadelphia Times.
"There's no fear of q watermelon
famine this season." said a dealer a
Arch street wharf yesterday, as he
gazed upon a pile of the luscious
green-coated fruit. "They are coming
in by the boat-load. They come
mostly from Jersey and Maryland
just now. Early in the season they
come from as far south as Georgia
and Florida. They range in price
from 81 to s15 hundred"
"Where do they 60 mostly?"
"To hotels and clearinghouse; to
summer-resort hotels in particular
A few are bought for private families.
But they can't be relied on to make
an everyday trade. The poor
people buy them good deal on
Saturdays for Sundays dinners.
Young people buy them for what
they call watermelon parties. After
they eat out the red part they enjoy
themselves by banging the rinds on
one another's heads. A good many
times they supplement the rinds with
their fists. The clearinghouse and
hotel trade is a pretty steady one.
You see, twenty cents worth of
melon will make a big show and 90 a
great way as dessert"
"Any new varities this year ?"
"Well, we have the vanilla and
The lemon-havored watermelon. They
are got by injecting the vanilla flavor
or inserting a bit of lemon into the
stem while the melon is growing. The
flavor is taken up by the pulp and
makes delicious combination. Only
epicures know of this wrinkle, and we
therefore, have few of the doctored
species on sale. You can get tooth
some dish by plugging a melon, in
jecting little fine claret, restoring
the plug and allowing the wine to be
taken up by the fruit. But, beware !;
the combination is as seductive as
Roman punch"
ANY new ways of preparing the
melon for table ?"
"Well, I've been eating melons for
forty years, and L still prefer them
plain. Some of my customers, how
ever. like them mixed. One, of nv
best boarding house customers has
watermelon salad every Sunday in
the season. She prepares it, she says,
just as she does lettuce, cuts the red
part of the melon up into bits and
adds pepper, salt, vinegar and oil. 1t
ought to make them sick, but she
does say her bOarders just fight for it.
Another family that l know of pour
molasses on their melons. A good
many people, L believe, always add
a squeeze of lemon to the fruit. A
Boston family that deal with me are
always particular TO have their mel
ons firm and just ripe, and don't
haggle about the price when they get
them to suit. They have the melons
cut into little strips and eat 'em with
cold baked beans. But as 1 said be-
fore, for my part l like them plain.
