The THOMAS CAT, published by
Dunn Il Worcester, at Colby,
Thomas county, has finally reach
ed our exchange table, If the
paper follows the feline instincts
indicated by Its name, it will get
its back up whenever its caudal
apendage is compressed. and
should the retrograde spirit OF a
perverse community ever at
tempt to pull it backwards in the
progressive march of civilization.
we smell a mibe, that its claws
will adhere to the floor with the
same tenacity that pussy would
assume if drawn by small boy
in the same direction. A news
paper is certainly no cat astrophy

The Smallest Watch IN the World.

A small gold penholder, resting in a
rich velvet case, lay on a jewellers
showcase in John Street, last week.
The end of the holder was shaped like
an elongated cube, and was an inch
long. A faint musical ticking that
issued from it attracted customers
attention. The jeweler lifted the hold
er from the case with smile, and ex-
hibited tiny watch dial, one sixteenth
of an itch in diameter, set in the side
between two other dials almost as small
One indicated the day, and the other
the month of the year. The centre
dial ticked off seconds, minutes, and
hours
"Ths is the smallest watch ever
made" the jeweler said, ;, and the only
one OF It's kind in the world. 1t took
Geneva matchmaker the better part
Of two years to fit the parts together
so that they would work accurately.
1t has been exhibited in London and
Paris.
The works of the watch were so
that they fitted lengthwise in the hold
er The handspring was an elongated
coil of steel fitted to the wheels by a
tiny chain, and worked like an old
fashioned clock weight. The works
were wound up by means of a little
screw of gold on the underside of the
handle, and the jeweler wrote with it
without disturbing the operations of
the fairy watch.
whats the price, the customer ask

"a round $500" replied the jeweler
laughing.
