a Wonderful Watch Dial.

a gentleman connected with the Illinois
Watch Company has wonderfully curious
watch dial. Instead of Roman numerals
to denote the hours, there are eleven small
but very distinct silhouette figures, repre-
senting man out with his dog for days
sport. Att o'clock he is seen starting out
with his gun and dog at 8 o'clock he
makes shot; at 8 o'clock he has sand
hill crane which measures as long as him
self at 10 o'clock the man and his dog
are scared at the sight of jack-rabbit,
which is sitting upon his hind legs with
his big long ears raised above the bushes;
at II o'clock the hunter takes drink and
while in this attitude the dog sits in front
of his master, with his nose pointing d.
rectly at the flask at y o'clock the sports
man is seen sitting on a stump, and is eat
ing lunch-the dog is eyeing the piece
of bread the hunter has in his hand. At l
O'Clock he starts out to fish the rest of the
day, and so he takes his dog and fishing
tackle, and goes to the water at o'clock
the dog, which is behind his master, has
been caught with the hook, by an attempt
to thrown in the line; at 3 o'clock he and
the dog are all Strengthened out again, and
the line is in the water, he has both hands
on the pole and his foot braced on a stump
by the waters edge, as though he had a
tremendous bite; at 4 o'clock the man
has got big fish on his line, which has
pulled him off his feet, and he falls on the
dog and doubles him all up, but the man
is holding fast to the pole, which is bent
almost double; at 5 o'clock he is all
Strengthened out again, his pole is thrown
across his shoulder, and with his fish in
the other hand he starts for home, the dog
following behind with his head hanging
down, being all tired out. The mans
name is also painted in the center of the
dial in rustic letters. The dial reflects
great deal of credit upon the artist, Chas.
Geyer. The figure VI. is superseded by the
seconds.-Jaretry Nears.

TIE Beavers AWKWARD GAIT.-Re-
leased upon the ground the beavers make off
with curious stumbling gait-a COM
pound Of shuttle and waddie, with strong
tendency to fall forward upon the nose at
every step. On closer examination the
cause of this ungraceful style Of locomo-
ton was found to be two-fold: first, their
hind legs were at least one-third longer
than their fore legs, the extra length being
in the fermur, and, secondly, they were
digitisrade in front, and plantigrade be-
hind, or, as our French cook, Francois, ex-
pressed it, "Ze front Hgue, he go teeptoe,
CONNIE de dogue, or lie chat re behind
ligue, he walk fiat foot-pied terre-like
re bair, or re man." If one will try to
walk on all fours, with the soles of the feet
and the tips of the fingers touching the
ground, he will have tolerably fair idea
of beavererine locomotion.-Outin9.

:" In Favor of the Thing That Did It"

The quaint philosophy Of bill Arp"
of Georgia, is familiar to most newspaper
readers He has been considering the
tariff question of late and gives the follow
ing actual, personal experience as reason
for the faith he now has in the policy of
protection to home industries:
You know was an old-fashioned Dem
ocrat brought up to believe in free trade
and sailors rights. | am one now; but
something has happened. l own a little
farm near Gainesville | used to gather
my corn and sell it in Atlanta for what
ever they would give me. | had some
spasture land for my stock, and | raised
wheat, vegetables, and fruit in a small
way. What we could not consume was
wasted. When the tariff went into opera
ton old Joe Brown started some iron
developments near by, and the Carriers
vile station became quite village. The
day before ! left home | sold seventeen
loads of hay. Buyers didn't bargain for
it, but came and took all ] could spare at
my own price. ] haven't sold 4 bushel Of
corn in several years. Those fellows come
and buy it by the dozen for roasting ears.
It's SO with everything that grows on my
land. ! cannot raise as much as they
want. I'm in favor of the thing that did
it, so I'm proteetionist."
There are many thousands Of citizens
who do not know much about protection or
| free trade theories, but who are in favor
of the thing that did it." and therefore are
protectionists. The experience at Carriers
vile is multiplied thousands of times all
over the country, afiording object lessons
| that teach the value of protection, which
no theroizing can overcome. They see
that protection has diversified industry,
brought the workshop to the side of the
farm, made a profitable market for home
products, and given an impulse to trade
and transportation, through all of which
the nation has prospered wonderfully
They see this with their own eyes, and
feel it in their own pockets. They "are
in favor of the thing that did it," and that
is observation-disclosures Leader.

across the avenue half mile south to the
new 100000 museum, which is receiving
its finishing touches Two years ago Con-
gress made the appropriation, and now the
new store-house for the relics is ready to
receive them. As the merry sight-seers
troop along Pennsylvania avenue, an ex-
press wagon loaded high with grim skele-
tons every now and then blocks the way.
The new building is on the Mall or
Smithsonian grounds, only a stones throw
from the National Museum 1t is sub
stantial three-story brick building, with
out any particular claims to architectural
beauty. But it has plenty OF windows,
streets on two sides, and the park on the
west and north. 1t will be great i'm
