FREAKS OF WATCHEs.-A lady school
teacher has delicately made little Swiss
watch set in bracelet. The face of it is
about the size of a farthing, and the works
are protected by thin disc of glass about
the same size on the under side of the brace
let next to the arm. In fact it sets right
over the young ladys pulse, and the watch
is the wonder and admiration of all her
friends. But the little watch never did
keep time, though it cost five hundred francs
in Paris. The jeweler to whom it was car
ried told the lady that she ought not to ex-
pect watch the size of a pea to keep
time, One workman said such smalkwatches
had to be bought on the principle Of a
chance in q grab bag, as they sometimes
turned out good time pieces and at others
we're wholly unreliable. The young lady
noticed, however, that whenever she loaned
her FIVE hundred francs bracelet to her SIS
ter the watch kept much better time, and
when she kept it locked up in her jewel case
it kept the time almost as we'll as an ordinary
time piece, A we'll known physician had
his attention called to the matter by the
Young lady's mother, and explained it in a
minute from physiological standpoint. He
explained that the springs and enginery OF
the watch were so delicate that they were
affected by the change of temperature and
feeling in the young lady's body. When
she became excited the watch doubtless
went fast, and in her calmer moments it
went slower. Upon investigation this hypo-
thesis was verified, and the phenomena ex-
cited so much curiosity that the young LADY
gave an exhibition to few friends of the
manner in which the watch was compelled
to answere the effect of the change in her
various moods
