Armorial Bearings and Orests on Watch

Jewellers Weekly.
A jeweler who was asked If he was
called upon to furnish special watch case
designs for his customers replied: 81
should say 80. WHAT class of designs?
Well, monograms principally, while next
to these in popularity come crests, which
are in great demand among that class Of
people who delight in initiating every
thing English, you know or course
many OF these people haven't the faint
est idea whether their families possess
coats-of- arms or not; but that doesn't
trouble them in the least. They select
whatever crests happen to suit their fan
cies from book of designs, and are hap
py when they can point out the devices
to their friends as sour armorial bearings,
Ye know
"fhere Is, however, no limit to the
variety or oddness of the designs we are
asked to engrave on watch cases. Why,
the other day man brought us view Of
his house and grounds, with his wife and
children out driving in the foreground,
and wanted it reproduced on the back Of
his watch. The job WAS difficult one,
but we undertook it and turned out q nice
piece Of work. The customer was de-
lighted with 1t, although the engraving
cost him in the neighoorhood Of $50.
Luxuries like that come high, but some
people must have them"

MADE A CHEAP CLOCK

A Plate of Glass and a Cheap Movement

jewelers. Weekly.
Why some of the large clocks in the
jewelers. windows are not as correct as
they might be makes an interesting query,
which will try TO answer. Most OF the
clocks with the eighteen inch and two
foot diels have good movements, will
acknowledge, and keep very good time.
They are quite expensive also, and many
of the smaller dealers, not quite up to
the "wrinkle" I'm going to explain to
you, hire the clocks for stipulated sum
per month. There are several concerns
in this city that make the hiring of these
jewelers. "show clocks" as they are
termed, quite feature of their business,
and from the prices they obtain have no
doubt that 1t is q profitable branch. g.
However, to return to the reason why
some of them are not always as accurate
as they might be. The other day l was
passing through an uptown avenue, when
my attention was attracted to handsome
window clock in the window of q small
retailer, whose entire stock st a forced
sale would probably not have realized
over $500. AS had glanced at my watch
but minute before saw at once ths I
the time announced on the large glass dial
was fully five minutes too fast. 1 sp-
preached nearer in order to see the max.
er's name, but none was Visible, and then
to my surprise saw that small nickel

The proprietor OF the store WAS not in
the least disconnected By my entrance to

trivance. 81 couldn't afford to pay for

He had made his declaration Of love,
and it had been heard with lowering OF

something to fill in while he waited for

A look of strange wonderment came
over the beautiful face, and the deep eyes
grew large as she listened.
"Is this true, &c. rge?" she asked, with
hushed breath.

The look of wonderment merges into g
glance of icy sternness as she rose to her
full height and confronted him.

WOMAN ON A BICYCLE.
Showing How the Sweet Girl Dan Ride with
Dignity and Safety.
Washington Critic,


Dignity and Safety.
Washington Critic.
The safety bicycle seems to have solved
the problem Of the application Of the bi.
cycle to woman's use. There are now
about 500 women in Washington who ride
tricycles. Already some of the more
venturesome of the fair sex have appeared
on the streets on bicycles as they are
called. The woman's bicycle is the same
as the mans bicycle, with q modification
which removes all distractions between
the seat and the pedals, so that woman's
dress can fall to her feet, as on a tricycle..
On the safety bicycles for men the
frame is so constructed that there is q
straight bar from the axle of the rear
wheel to the post, to which the handle-
bar Is attached In trent. OF course, such
an arrangement offers an insupersble
difficulty to q woman in her ordinary
wearing apparel The difficulty has been
overcome by making this bar or back
bone curve down and upward like letter
U. In general terms it may be said that
the saddle is attached to little post so
as to arraoge to bring it over the center
Of the U-shaped frame. The pedals are
So when the lady is seated upon the bicycle
with her feet on the pedals, there is moth
ing to prevent the dress from falling in
proper manner. The mount Is made even
more easily than on the masculine bicycle.
Standing on the left side, with her hands
upon the hsndle-bsrs, the woman puts
her right foot through the U and upon the
right pedal. Then she raises herself on
the pedal to the sadd e, the movement
giving start to the machine. II q rider
gets into bad or dangerous place by put
ting the brake on he can come to stand
still. The machine will then fsll over to
one side or the other, but the riders feet
are within few inches of the ground,
and by putting her feet out she can arrest
her fall.
A lady rider should be dressed plainly,
in costume Of flannel, like an eques-
trienne habit, without, however, having
the extra length of skirt. 1t should be
made of flannel or some material of q
hesvy texture that would fall or drspe
gracefully to the feet. She should have no
hustle and not be tied or strapped up to
such an extent as to prevent the utmost
freedom in the use of every muscle.

Special to the Gazette.
WACO, TEX, April 22.-This morning
at about 10 O'Clock two horses, hitched
to the heavy transfer wagon Of R. c.
Green & Co., took fright and ran away.
Coming up Austin avenue ct full speed
they ran into the carriage of United
States Commissioner Finks. Four Of
Mr.. Finks little children were in the car
-iage by themselves. The carriage was
badly broken and the little children all
thrown out and seemingly right under
the feet of the runaway horses, but as If
by miracle there WAS only one
hurt. One of the little girls, Mary, re-
ceived an ugly wound on the leg. In
their mad race they ran into another car
risge and completely demolished it, but
fortunately there WAS no one in it at the
time. The occurrence created consider
able excitement at the time.
The prisoners in the Waco jail were
visited this morning by some young theo-
l9gians attending Baylor University. They
made short talks, prayed and sang. The
prisoners seem to appreciate and
enjoy it. They were quiet and orderly
and some of them seemed earnestly affect

petty theft to murder in the first degree.
Yet it has been said that there Is some
thing good in every human soul. The
thief that died on the cross by the side If
Christ WAS saved. The young apostles
no doubt sowed good seed. They will
continue their services every Sunday.
Many of the prisoners knew the songs,
perhaps learned them in their innocent,
happy days Of freedom, and they Joined
in the singing, and the passers-by 10 the
open street heard the singing, wondered
at it, passed on. The Jail for while WAS

While the services in the j Ill were being
carried on, messenger came to the jail
for the sheriff TO come down to the
Second Baptist church, colored, and keep
the peace. 1t seems that two different
denominations claim the church house,
and both would use it st the same time
and there was possibility Of free
fight.

What to Do with the Frozen Corn.

The effects of the severe frost within
the past two weeks have been disas-
trous in the extreme, and make speci-
ally interesting and valuable any sug-
gestions that may tend to save any
portion of the ruined crops. L. L. Ha-
zen of Whitefeld, who is well known
in this vicinity as practical and sue
cessful dairy farmer, informs the edi-
tor of the Cultivator that his expert
ments with ensilage made of corn fod-
der first frozen in the field was such as
to convince him that the freezing work.
ed no serious damage in the silO as en-
silage.
Another correspondent of the Guilt
vafor holds the same view and urges
farmers who have not permanent silos
on their premises to build wooden silos
in the bays or under the scaffOlds of
their barns. Ten dollars worth of
lumber, says this correspondent, and
few DAYS labor will enable them to
commence filling very convenient ST.
10. If they have not the means for
cutting the corn, then put it in whole.
Lay it lengthwise of the pit, tread it
down well. Weight it about hundred
pounds to the square foot of top sur
face, and the ensilage is safe for many
months.
This advice may come too late to be
of any material use to Caledonia coun-
ty sufferers by the recent frOsts, but
may be of use at some future time.
