1.-THE limbed, sinewy oarsmen. Their
tine development of form Is due TO
their occupation, their habit of rowing
standing. developing and exerc sing
every muscle IN the frame from throat
TO heel, As a class they are the clean
est set of men to be found among the
lower orders of Europe. The wately
ways on which their days are spent,
send up no cloud OF dust or ashes of
mud to sully their neat and picturesque
attire.
Their hands and faces, bronzed to as
iusky a tint as the sun and the wind
can impart TO the human epidermIs, ard
their crisp, curly dark locks, are as free
from soil and as well kept rs are those

class would be a handsome one to

sery characteristic, and yet simple and
sufficiently IN accordance with a gentle
mans every day suit TO be worn with
out awkwardness. 1t consists OF a
loose double-b breasted jacket, of dark
blue cloth, with trousers to match.
The Jacket Is closed with two rows of
large, hlghly-pollshed brass buttons,
aud Is bound around the edges ard
around the cuffs and collar and pockets
with cloth of blue, two shades lighter
than the hue of the garment itself \

sent. A sash of cloth, matching the
Jacket and trousers, and with long ends
finished with wide worsted fringe, Is
tied around the waist, the ends falling
at the left side. Sometimes the jacket
is piped with red, or with the same dark
blue as the cloth whereof it is composed:
but the style | have Just described Is
the most usual, and is also the pretti-

collar and white necktie, both scrupu-
lously clean, AS are also the white cuffs
visible beneath the loose sleeves, the
linen being course IN quality, but OF

.Sem-,cind,ng watches are now made
on different plan from what has been
customary, the improved system pos
sessing, it is thought, some spe cial
advantages. Thus. when it is desired
to set the hands, the stem Is first drawn
out. which causes collar on the end of
it to bear upon stud in the shorter arm
of a two armed curved lever. This de-
presses the long arm of the latter, which
turns a yoke and discharges the gearing
from the handspring arbor. connecting
an independent wheel with the hand
setting train, to which the motion is i'm
parted by turning the stem. As soon as
pulling on the stem ceases, the yoke is
thrown back to its place by a spring.
Normally, another wheel, carried by the
yoke, meshes with the arbor wheel OF
the main-spring, and is thus always
ready for winding by pressing down
upon and winding the stem. The ar
rangement is simple.

The following method of tracings on
glass for lanterns Is said to be satisfac-
tory: A piece of finely ground glass is
rubbed over with a trace of glycerlne,
IN order to make it as transparent as
possible. 1t is now easy to write or
draw on the prepared surface with n
hard and finely pointed black lead pen
ell, and the glass is so transparent tina,
the finest details of any engraving over
which it may be placed can be seen
quite distinctly. The drawing having
been finished, the plate is washed with
water. in order to remove the glycerine
and dried. A thin coat of Canada bal.
sam or OF negative varnish now serves
to render the side permanently trans
parent and ready for the lantern.

buckingham County, Va, has a
somewhat cuiious industry. Within an
area of ten or fifteen miles there are
some forty distiIleries engaged in manu-
featuring oil from sassairas root. Each
mill gives employment to three hands,
uses about 2, 900 pounds of root day for
each mill. and produces from one to one
and half gallons of oil weighing ten
pounds to the gallon. Thus the forty
distilieries consume daily so, 900 pounds
of sassafras root, make about fifty gall
Ions of oil, worth about 81 80 a gallon,
and thus earn sos day.
