How Watch Cases are Made.

In 1875, thirteen men comprised the
entire working force used in the manu-
facture Of the james Boss Gold Watch Case.
Now over 6pe hundred are employed, and the
number is constantly increasing. There
son of this increase is this: In the james
Boss Gold Watch Case all the metal in sight
and subject to wear is solid gold, while there
mainder, which only lends strength to the
case, is of stronger metal than gold,
giving gold where gold is needed, and
strong, elastic metal where strength and
elasticity are needed, combination pro-
ducing watch case better than solid gold
and at oNE-HALF the cost. .,,,r " a,,r
Over 100000 of these cases & D.

Never Tapped Loans.

The following good story comes from
Chicago An ex-judge, who has be-
come familiar to Washington since the
beginning of the star route trials,
appeared at the headquarters of the
South Carolina delegation, intent on
borrowing $50. He met a Chicago
tiger the night before and had been
worsted in the encounter. The rotund
form of the Hon. Robert Smalls en-
couraged the idea that he would prove
q deliverer "Smalls, l want $50; let
mo have it till l get back to Washing
ton,' said the judge. 81 would be
glad to accommodate you, Judge"
said the unctuous Robert, "but l have
an unvaring rule about lending money"
what is your ruler" said the Judge,
tartly. Il never lap loans. If lend
q gentleman money once and he pays
me, l can lend him again. But l never
lap loans-never! and, tell you,
Judge, it is rule that has saved me
lots of money" The Judges face took
on o conscious look and, he walked
away to try some one with whom he
had no open account.

Did it With a Chip.

An interesting story is told in con-
nection with the old state prison at
Charlestown, which shows how small
and insignificant thing may give lib
erty to prisoner. A convict had been
sentenced to Imprisonment for fifteen
years for committing series OF burg
laries, and had served between three
and four years when one day he
brought small chip of wood from the
shop where he was engaged in labor to
his cell. This fact was not worthy of
notice at the moment. When, however,
the prisoner, with others, had marched
to their cells, he placed the chip in
such way as to prevent the bolt of
the door Of his cell from fastening.
The officers on duty made their usual
inspection, saw each man in his cell
and so reported. After the inspection
had been made the convict in question
opened his cell door, closed it again,
and passed quickly out of a side door
into the yard. In moment he had
gained the shop where he worked.
Here he put on a pair of overallS be-
longing to one of the instructors EN-.
ployed by contractors, and from there
he got upon the prison wall, and enter
ing one of the guard-houses he found
an overcoat which he donned He
was now ready to bid adieu to the
prison. His movements were in no
way slow, for he knew that at any mo-
ment his absence might be noticed and
the officers be upon his track. Leap
ing from the wall the convict was soon
in the street and off ''for parts I'M
known"
At l o'clock, when the prisoners
were to return to these shops for the
afternoon, the absence of the escaped
man was noticed, and, although dill
gent search was made and the usual
reward offered for his arrest, the fell
low was never captured, but made his
way to Halifax, where to-day he is en-
gagged in legitimate business. boston

Deaths From Old Age.

ITO die OF old age is the object Of
ambition to a large number Of persons,
who carefully nurse their health with
the view, not of escaping death alto
gether. for they know this to be i'm
possible, but of eking life out to its ut
most limits. The art of prolonging
life in this fashion appears to be less
well understood now than formerly.
The registrar general, in his report for
1852, lately published, observes that
the deaths ascribed to old age have for
many years been diminishing in their
proportion to the population, and in
1882 were fewer in proportion than in
any former year. As old age is the
natural termination of life, and the all
ment of which all prefer eventually to
die, this aggregate falling-of in the
mortality from this cause, if real,
would not be an indisputable advant-
age. But doubtless much Of the falling
off under this hedging is merely due to
gradual improvement in the specifica-i
ton to the causes of which the old die.
This, however, does not account for all
the apparent decline in the mortality.
For there was in each of the three
years 1880, 1881, and 1882, q sensible
decline in the mortality of persons of
advanced age from all causes; and in
1882 especially the death rate of per-
sons 80 years of age and upward,
whether males or females, was lower
than it had been for many years, prob
ably than it had ever been before. The
main factor that determines the death
rate of the aged is temperature, and es-
peciaIly the temperature of the winter
months; and in 1882 the mean temper
AZURE of each of the six months of the
first and fourth quarters was above the
average. In fact, the best advice that
can be given to old people anxious to
linger on in this planet is, keep your
selves warm. st. JaneS'S Gazette.

A Duke and q Merchant in Norway.

The cringing host, the bowling waiter

strong enough to breathe the bracing
moral atmosphere resulting from the
social condition of a country that has
never been subject to feudal institu-
tons, and the inhabitants of which are
curiously ignorant of the meaning of
social status; where servants shake
hands with their masters, and masters
bow to their servants.
