The Jewels in Watches.

"How is the jeweling of watch set
Well, it won't take long to tell all l
know on the subject" said an expert in
his line, as he held an autopsy on an
ancient timepiece this morning. and
tossed the case into a junk box to be
melted down.
"Now, take the better class Of English
watches, for instance. The jewels are
set in brass or gold settings. The latter
are fitted into holes with counter sinks
and fastened with screws. A great adj
vantage is claimed for setting jewels In
this way, There is a decided facility
for replacing a broken or damaged jewel
without regilding the plate. In replac-
ing, piece of brass wire of suitable
thickness may be used to hold the jewel.
After being turned exactly concentric to
the hole and of slight taper, the wire
is adjusted to the hole in the plate pre-
viously turned out, and then it is cut off
at length little in excess of what it is
required to be- All that remains to be
done is to gently drive this setting into
the hole in the plate until the proper
shape is attained. The replacing of q
Jewel in this way can hardly be de-
tected."
as movement with plain set jewels
inferior to one with screwed jewels?"
Not at all Persons who know moth
ing about it think otherwise. The
movement with screwed jewels has q
more elegant appearance. That the only
difference except that it is more trouble
to repair. All the screws and jewels
must be taken out to thoroughly clean
the watch. Mail and Express.

The Suction of TOads.

In one of the Letters of Junius"-
speaking of the then Princess of Wales,
who was dying of cancer-that writer
says nothing keeps her alive but the
horrible suction of toads." Prof New
ton of Cambridge explains that during
a certain period of last century live
toads were applied as supposed cure
or as relief to cancerous breasts. In
the third volume of Pennant's Zoology
is letter in which the process is de-
scribed to DR.. Lyttleton, the then
Bishop of Carlisle, by Mr.. Patfeld, a
medical eyewitness. The toad was put
into linen bag, all but its head, and
that was held to the sore, which the
animal sucked greedily. A woman sup.
posed to have been cured in this way
was said to have had toads on her day
and night for five weeks without inter
mission.

The Long Lost Hair.

Daintily long, with faint shades Of
gold cleaning through the glossy
brown, and Just enough of the spirit
that animated the clustering curls
among which it nestled but one short
year ago to make it coil and cling Like
tendrils of love to heart and life.
/ One short year! So short and yet so
long!
Tenderly unclasping the dainty
tribute from the vest button round
which it chung like memory to hopes
of long ago, all the witchery of that
night swept past like pictures Of the
former life to drowning souls.
The love clasp to the dreamy music
of the parting waltz; the long, delicious
ride homeward through fragrant gloom
of June; the magnetic hand clasp; the
words of love then spoken; the restful
pillowing of curls as zone face shining
out like star" touched with lips of love
the old, old story.
~The night hath a Thousand eyes,
The day but one.
Yet the light Of q whole life dies
When love is dOne-
Ave, for him the light of whole
life had died; for her, "life's revel had
just begun" For him the sackcloth OF
memory; for her the shining robes OF
life. While she trod the luminous
aisles of glory he looked away down
life's dark vista, where dull Despair
wrote in the dust of hopes destroyed the
one word, "Dead!"
Note-You see, while he was out
West, she married a widower with $1O,-
600 year and the way she pranced
down the shining aisles of "our church"
in shimmering robes of Worth, filed
the others with worldly worship.
He? Oh, yes, he's tobogganing down
firtation's slippery slide with another
e-straight-haired this time. Such
is life.-DetrOit Free Press.

False Notions About Eating.

It has been an old-wives' notion from
way back that certain kinds of food must
be avoided because they tend to produce
certain kinds of disease. This notion
has been fostered by alleged physicians
who publish health journals, and are al
ways laying down rules about living
which, if any one undertook to follow
literally and scrupulously, would make
life burden from the cradle to the
grave. Some years ago DR.. Dio Lewis,
who was regarded as somewhat OF
health expert, announced that tomatoes
were unhealthy, were the cause of can
Ger, loosened and destroyed the teeth,
etc. For generations boys and girls had
been warned not to eat so much butter
or their faces would break out with
"butter sores" 1t is an old-time tradi-
ton that buckwheat cakes are produc-
tive of skin diseases, and the Scotch are
said to be cursed with the itch because
they eat so much oatmeal. Dr.. James
G.. White, professor of dermatology in
Harvard University, in a recent article
on cutaneous disease pricks some of
these annoying tradition bubbles. He
says that uncooked butter is perfectly
harmeless food so far as the skin is con-
cerned, and it is difficult to conceive
how any one could have thought other
wise, unless, possibly, the use of bad
butter in food otherwise indigestible
NAV have disturbed the stomach and
produced impure blood. Buckwheat
cakes do not produce cutaneous diseases,
unless improperly cooked and eaten hot
with too much syrup, they upset the
digestion. Oatmeal is perfectly harm
less food, and the idea that tomatoes
cause cancer is ridiculous. DR.. White
says that the eating of fruits, nuts, and
fish may lead to irritation of the skin m
certain individuals. but this arises from
some cause peculiar to the individual.
The notion that certain kinds of food
are detrimental to the complexion is q
false one. A good digestion and q
healthy appetite will take care Of the
skin, and it matters little what one eats,
If the stomach is allowed to do its work
properly and furnish good materials for
pure blood.-SpringJield Union.

FREE COINAGE.

A bill las been introduced in
Congress providing for the free coin
age of silver.
The bill is short, easily under
stood measure and provides that
any person having $50 worth Of sill
ser can take his bullion to any o.
S. Mint and have 1t coined into dol
lars containing each 4l2H grains.
This is the bill which if it passes
will lift the West to its feet and
wrench the scepter of financial DOM
milton from the hands OF Wall
street.
1t will be a great advance in poll
ltics and national progression.

care snap whether New York goes
with tho solid South or casts its
fortunes with the North.
The addition of new western
States, all OF them silver producing,
will still further remove the En-
pire State from the political pivot
and place the Republican party un-
der still further obligations to the
West.

to build up The resources OF the
whole country.
He has taken the pains to learn
all he could about the West and he
takes great interest in its prosper

The free coinage OF silver will
give a fresh impetus to the indust-

lease OF our old time prosperity.

Some time ago, Lucy Piper, IN inmate
Of Celia Williams's colored house on
Nineteenth street, lost watch under
circumstances which led her to believe
that another inmate, named Pearl Will
liams, had stolen it. She denied the
theft, however, and nothing further was
done in the matter until Monday night,
when Pearl left for Pittsburgh. Shortly
after her departure it was learned that
the watch had been pawned here by Il
young colored man, who was said to
have obtained II from the Williams girl.
Accordingly she telegraphed to Detcc-
