How Watch Cases are Made.

The many great improvements intro
duced In the manufacture of the Jas. Boss
Gold Watch Case, have led to similar i'm
provements in the making of silver cases.
Under the old methods, each part of
silver case was made of several pieces of
metal soldered together, requiring great
amount of cutting and soldering, which
softened the metal and gave it the pliability
of lead rather than the elasticity of silver.
Under the improved methods, each part
Of the Keystone Silver Watch Case is made
of one solid piece of metal hammered into
shape. The advantages are readily appar-
ent, for every one knows that hammering
hardens the metal while soldering softens it.
To test the superiority of the Keystone
Silver Watch Case, take one of OF. weight,
press it squarely in the center when closed,
and it will not give, while a case of same
weight of any other make will give enough
to break the crystal. The Keystone Silver
Watch Case is made only with silver cap
and gold joints.

The PEOPLE OF Mexico. popu-
lation of Mexico is commonly estimated
at nine or ten millions. No census has
been taken. but this estimate is probably
not exaggerated. The great mass of the
inhabitants are Indians and in race and
habits they are similar TO the Pueblo.
Zuni and Navajo Indians of New Mexico
and Arizona. They are generally small
In stature, sober, honest, Industrious,
temperate and intelligent. A more val
liable peasantry can scarcely be found.
Their virtues are their own; their vices
are of European admixture. School
education has done little or nothing for
them: but of late years efforts have been
made to establish schools for their benefit.
They seem very capable of being in.
structed: and if, as we trust, there is q
bright future for Mexico, it lies in the
education and development of the native
race.
The ruling classes of Mexico are main
ly of Spanish and Mixed blood. The
late President Juarez was pure Indian,
but the number of educased people, with
no Spanish in their origin, must be very
small indeed. Arong the civil and mil.
itary functionaries the Spanish element
seems to predominate; and the political
usages of the country are decidedly
Spanish in their nature.-C. 4. Dana

THE FREQUENCY OF OCEAN DIS
ASTERS.

More than 1000 lives year are lost
by disasters to steamships, and that fact
although little needed, is vastly more
appalling than the statement that the
State of Florida and the bark Pomona
collided in midocean three weeks ago to-
morrow night. and both vessels sank
almost instantly, carrying down to death
nearly 100 persons. The is an average
OF one steamship disaster every week Of
the year, and no indications are visible
that the rate will diminish, The peonIe
are horrified by such tragedies of the sea
as the loss of the State of Florida. the
wreck of the Steinmann off Sambro
Light last month, and the destruction Of
the City OF Columbus off Gay Head in
January; but they are probably unaware
that the aggregate annual loss of life by
steamship disasters is more than as
great as the loss of life by the greatest
marine catastrophe of history, the f1cun-
derlng on the British man.of war Royal
Gefrge, in 1911, with 1000 men on
board, or they would not be SO different
TO the fatal carelessness of nayigators
ihey must discriminate more closely
between the steamship companies, be-
slowing their patronage upon lines
known to excel in the construction of
their ships, the selection of their men.
and the vigilance of their superintend-
ence. 1t will pay steamship COM
panles to deal very severely with officers
whose ships suffer disaster and so employ
the best methods science has devised for
the navigation of their vessels. IF an
alarm loud enough to prevent col
lislons cannot be sounded from the deck
OF ship during fogs and dark nights,
peremptory orders to anchor until light
returns should be given and every master
should know that disaster will cost him
his position. Methods to prevent disas-
tiers should be adopted by steamship
companies voluntarily, bu: the law must
also be made to increase the safety
OF life at sea.-Nep York Mail and Er-

AN AFFLICTED FAN4ILY.-The case of
the family Of the late Mr.. Cheshire, of
Mankato, is a sad one. About two years
ago Mr.. Cheshire died suddenly of heart
disease. His sudden death so shocked
his oldest daughter, a girl of Is or Is
years of age. that she was thrown into a
brain fever from which she recovered
with a disordered intellect. A son, a
telegraph operator, has since been sent
to the Insane Asylum at St Peter. Mrs.
Cheshire, since the death of her husband,
has become weak-minded and imbecile,
and the oldest daughter has recently
attempted 10 throw herself under the
cars which pass directly in the rear of the
house in which they liye. A young
daughter, about II years old, with the
assistance of nurse, bravely cares for
her suffering sister and mother. Tt
was decided Tuesday night to send the
oldest daughter to the daughter to the
asylum, as hex malady was taking a vio-
lent form.--St. Paul (Minn.) Pioneer
