How Watch Cases are Made.

In buying Il silver watch case great care
should be taken to secure one that is solid
silver throughout. The cap of most cheap
silver cases is made Of a composition known
as albata, which is a very poor substitute
for silver, as it turns black in a short time.
The backs of such cases are made much
thinner than those Of an all silver case,
being robbed in order to make the cap
thicker and get in as much as possible of
the cheap metal Another important point
in asilver case is the joints or hinges, which
should be made of gold. Those of most
cheap cases are made of silver, which is
not a suitable metal for that purpose. In
a brief period it warps, bends and spreads
apart, allowing the backs to become loose
upon the case and admitting the dust and
dirt that accumulate in the pocket The
Keystone SilverWatch Cases are only made
with silver caps and gold joints,

Lord WOlseley's Expedition.
Everything is ready for Lord Wolse
ley's start. His programme Is publish.
ed. His camels pull impatiently at theil
rope. His boatmen make light Of the
rapids.
just at this moment. with the dra.
matte timeliness which has done so much
for Lord Wolseley, fresh doubts are
raised about Gordon's fate. One &C.
count says that be can hold out for two
years; another account describes the en-
try of the enemy into Khartoum.
Such haze has settled over the Sou
dan that even now We know nothing OF
the massacre of Cole mel Stewart. Even
it is not certain that Hicks Pacha and
his officers may not be living in con fine-
ment within tae Mahdi's camp. So il
would be foolish either to belittle or to
pu! much faith in any rumors about Cor
don.
Still, il is curious that. exactly at the
moment when Englishmen were object
ing to Wolseley's extravagsnce and to
the futility Of his mission, there should
come over the desert story that Cor
don is urgently in need of him.

RUM.DRlNKING IN MAINE
A Few Facts of Timely Interest
From q Prohibition State.


Norway Correspondence Portland Argaa.
Some time ago Nelson D ngley, Jr,
declared there was not single place in
this county where intoxicants we're sold.
Prompted by curiosity. pedder has
been carefully looking into this subject
during the past nine months. He found
foity-,hree places in Oxford County,
Maine, which made business of selling
intoxicsnts. There were no signs over
the doors announcing the business car
| red on, to be sure, but avery QUE who
wished 10 buy intoxicants knew where to
go. Iu each OF these places stimuan
are vended by the glass or in quantities.
Usual price eight cents glass. some
charge FIVE, some ten cents, though.
Usual price OF whisky, which is cold more
then any other kind OF intoxicant, six,v
cents pint or 81 qnart. Most OF The
intoxicants broueht into Maine come In
barrels painted and lelterea to resemble
kerosene oil barrels. Greenwood is the
banner town, selling more In oxicants
than any other town in the county. Most
OF the rum sellers vote the Republican
ticket, and are protected ny that party
for partisan proposes. In several cases
Democrats who were frequently arrested
aud fined changed their politics ard have
never been molested since Cergymen
and other friends OF morality and tempe
rance will do we'll 10 investigate this mat
ter, ascertain those who are vending in.
toxicants in their own parish or neigh
borhood, and the reason why the traffi.,
is not broken up. They may get new
light on Maine politics. Transfer the
rumsellers' vote from the Republican to
the Democratic party, and the latter
would, have a large msjority in this
State In other words; the Republicans
cannot control the State of Maine with
ou, the um.selers' vote. This is a sad
but significant fact
