How Watch Cases are Made.

A plate of SOLID GOLD IA 2-l0 karats
fine is soldered 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 1t
needed strength, stiffness and solidity, while
the uritten guarantee of the manufacturers
pdrrantiag each case to wear tucaty years
proves that it contains all the gold that
can possibly be needed. This guarantee
is given from actual results, as many of
these cases have been worn perfectly smooth
by years of use without wearing through
the gold. Dupuorr. IA, Dec. "A, 1880.

Disappearance of the Reptiles.

Reptiles are at present a small and dy-
ing race. They have seen their best days.
But in the great secondary age, as Ten
nyson graphically puts it, "a monstrous
eft was of old the lord and master of
earth" At the beginning of that time
the mammals had not been developed at
all; and even at its close they were but a
feeble folk, represented only by weak
creatures like the smaller pouched ami.
mails of Australia and Tasmania. Ac-
cordingly, during the secondary period
the reptiles had things everywhere pretty
much their own way, ruling over the
earth as absolutely as man and the NAM
mails do now. Like all dominant types
for the time being, they split up into
many and various forms. In the sea, they
became huge padding enaliosaurians; on
the dry land, they became great erect di-
nosaurians; in the air, they became terri
BILE flying pterodactyls. For a vast epoch
they inherited the earth; and then at last
they began to fail, in competition with
their own more developed descendants,
the birds and mammals. One by one
they died out before the face of the
younger fauna, until at last only few
crocodiles and alligators. few great
snakes, and few big turtles, remain
among the wee skulking lizards and
geckos to remind us of the enormous
reptillan types that crowded the surface
of the liassic oceans.
Long before the actual arrival of true
birds upon the scene, however, sundry
branches of the reptilian class had been
gradually approXimating to and fore
shadowing the future flying things. In
deed, one may say that at an early period
the central reptilian stock, consisting of
the long, 1.-the, four-legged forms like
the lizards, still closely allied in shape to
their primitive newt-like and eel-like an
cestors, began to divide laterally into
sundry important branches. Some of
them lost their limbs and became SER
penis; Others acquired bony body cover
ings and became turtles; but the vast
majority went off in one of two directions,
either as fish-like sea -saurians. or as bird
like land saurians It is with this last
division alone that we shall have largely
to deal in tracing out the pedigree of oui
existing birds.-I1pular Science Monthly.

to take genuine 50 or 81 bill, and com.
pletely remove all the traces of ink from
its surface. Then, with counterfeit
plate of a higher denomination, he would
print upon the genuine paper, and thus
raise the note. Speaking about raising
notes, here is a check on the Third
national bank of New York, which was
raised from $451 to $26, 0GS, and paid,
in 1876. The perpetrators worked of
with chemicals all that was written in
the check except the signature, and
regret to say that we have never been
able to discover who did it. Here are
three steel plates which were engraved
by Ulrich for So issue. The engraving
is done on soft steel, and when COM
pleted the plate is hardened. To give
you some idea of the amount of labor il
takes to engrave these plates can only
say that we have evidence that Ulrich
was fifteen months completing them.
Perhaps the greatest curiosities in our
entire collection are the bills which made
their appearance about four years ago, ex-
ecuted with a pen entirely by hand. At
first we thought that it must take a great
amount of time for the rascal to turn out
one of those bills, but now we think that
he produces about one a week. The
denominations are fifties, twenties and
tens, and they are turned into the trea-
sury for redemption from all parts of the
unionn

several months my wife's mother Mrs. Amy
Boyce ha been in very precarious condi-
ton with dropsy or Brights disease of the
kidneys, and having used all ethods and
measures for her restoration in the line of
treatment by our leading physicians, and
having failed to benefit her, her family de-
sraired of seeing her relieved, and gave her
up to die. Hap ening to run across the tes-
timony Of Mrs Daw,ey, who had been cured
of similar sickness by using Hunts Remedy,
we at once procured bottle of it. and COM
menced giving it as directed After using it
three days she was so far improved that she
could get from her bed to her chair without
assistance IA circumstance that had not hap
pened for months. Previous to taking it
she was troubled more or less with short
breath, requiring n continuous tanning to
keep her alive. This gradually improved as
we continued the use of Hunts Remedy, and
onthe fourth bottle she was able to set up all
day. She was bloated terribly in both limbs
and body upward to the lungs. The tenth
day the bloating left her bowels and now she
is not swollen above the knees. Her kidneys
were very bad at the time discharges being
of bloody character and emitting a sicken-
ing odor. lean say that the charge in her
case has been wonderful, and Hunts Remedy
has worked miracle in her"

Wonderful Speed on a Bicycle.

While scientists are striving might
and main to fly through the air, our
less lofty-minded bicyclists are attain
ing the art of volition upon the earth.
Certainly the wonderful speed shown
last week on the Crystal Palace path
by English comes nearer to flying than
anything else. The most wonderful
record always seemed to me to be the
five minutes thirty.six seconds for two
miles made some years ago by the
Hon. Ion Keith Falooner, and ! never
expected to see it beaten very far. But
here is man who completes the two
miles in some four seconds less, and
then proceeds eighteen miles farther at
top speed, the twenty miles being rid
den in tifty-niuo minutes six and three
fifth seconds, and distance of TWEEN
ty miles 365 yards covered in the hour,

Poultry House.

In breeding and managing fowls it
seems as though the new beginner has
many difficulties to overcome. First
find it best to arrange the houses as
best he can for fifty hens. The house
should be inside fourteen by thirty-six
feet on back side, eight feet front the
windows in front may come within two
feet of the ground. Posts set in the
ground, the lower board on the post
eight inches wide then run fve-inch
boards from the lower board to the
plate on the post, of three ply tarred
paper ; tack three-ply tarred paper, one
snd one'half cent per square foot, run
strips from the top to the bottom on
each bearing, tack strip one inch
wide, three'eighths thick, upon each
bearing it makes a very warm house
and costs about three-fifths what boards
costs, and much cheaper
As to inside arrangements, make the
roost of two by three scantlings, cham
fer the corners, take one-inch bit and
make holes for the legs eighteen inches
high, cleats across the legs to hold the
droppings, which may be cleaned off
every three days. To keep free from
vermin rise one end, turn Kerosene oil
over the roost, touch the match to il
and it will consume vermin and
mltes together without any trou.
BILE.
When the house is kept clean dis.
ease and vermin will disappear and a
good healthy fowl will appear and pay
profit on money invested. With soft
warm feed in the morning, oats, barley,
buckwheat, or millet at noon, corn at
evening, it is sure fact eggs can be
produced at eight and three-fourths
cents per dozen, and at thirty five
cents per dozen, as at present, it will
do to inyest.-Massdehusetts Plouqh

SELECT POETRY.
Looking at Both Sides.

The good wife hustled about the house,
Her face still bright with pleasant smile,
As broken snatches OF happy song
Strengthened her neart and her hands tho
while;
The good man sat in the chimney nook,
His little clay pipe within his lips,
And all he'd made and all he had lost
Ready and clear on his finger tips.
"Good wife, I've Just been thinking bit;
Nothing has done very well this year.
Money is bound to be hard to get,
Everything g sure to be very dear,
How the cattle are going to get fed.
How we're to keep the boys at school,
Is a Kind OF debit and credit sum
/ can't make balance by any rule"
She turned her around from the baking told,
And she faced him there with a cheerful !. dgh
Why, husband, DEAR one would really think
That the good rich wheat was only chan.
And what II the wheat is only chan,
so long as we both are well and strong
I'm not a woman to worry bit
But-somehow or other we get along.
''Into all lives some rain must fall
over all lands the storm must beat,
But when the storm and rain are Ger
The sunshine is sure to be twice as sweet
Through every strait we have found a road,
In every grief we have found song;
We have had to bear and had to wait,
But somehow or other, we get along.
'For thirty years we have loved each other,
stood by each other whatever befell;
Six boys have called us father and mother
And all of them living and doing well.
We owe no man penny my dear,
Are both OF us loving and well and strong?
Good man, wish you would smoke again,
Ana think how well we have got along"
lie filled his pipe with pleasant laugh,
lie kissed his wife with tender pride
lie said, 'Inl do as you tell me, love;
I'll just count up on the other side"
She left him then with his better thought,
And lifted her work with a low sweet song,
song that's followed me many year
