instance, the main spring Of a watch.
The general price for replacing one is
anywhere FROM $50 to 8. Now. a

Then there !, the extravagant price that
IS always demanded for cleaning n watch.
Few jewellers eyer charge less than $50
for such work Tho time usually taken
in doing this class Of work is not more
than from half to three-quarters Of an
hour The main spring itself costs on an
average about 8 cents. Then there is an
enormous prof. made on watch crystals.
The standard price for them IS % cents

Wed rarrnir. in JaDan.

One might say that weed farming was
a genuine part Of the japanese agricul-
tural system. since the entire crop was
utilized in some fashion, either for for
age, food, bedding. beauty mulchiDg or
manure. Not savage plant was al
lowed to lead a useless life, or to devote
its energies to the undoing Of the farmers
work Thoasa the harmless and pretty
weeds were in some cases permitted 90
flourish in the road cutters rs well as the
borders-and this is no joke-in such
cases they were themselves scdulously
weedcd. Il docs not take deeper intense
reflection to perceive that this thorough
system Of weed culture, 50 to speak, re-
lieves the farmers of one heavy tax on
their industry. which their brethren in
America abandon themselves to paying.

The Wonderful Human Brain.

According to the novel computation Of

culating the aggregate cell forces of the
human brain, the cerebral mass is COM
posed Of at least 10000, 900 Of nerve
cells, each an independent body, organ

Germs its vital functions, but subordinate
to a higher purpose in relation to the
function of the organ; each living sep

subject to higher law Of function. The
lifetime Of a nerve cell he estimates to be
about sixty days, so that 5000, 900 die
every day, about 200, 900 every hour,
and nearly $500 every minute, to he

nIas.ers Of Sword and Pen.

Gen. Sheridan Handled tho pen az

ography was concluded it was submitted
to distinguished literary critic. When
asked for bis opinion OF the style, the lat
ter replied that he became so absorbed in
reading about She-idan's fights that he
forgo. all about tho style of the nara
tive. 1t is a notable fact that great sol
diers are usually successful when they
lay aside the sword for the pen. Caesar
and Xenephon described their own cam
paigns better than any historian who
ever attempted the task. Napoleon let

WHO'S dog probably saved her l.fc by

drew my attention, b. her extraordinary
antics. to q large cobra which she was
trying 10 keep AVA from her young

enemy of the snake, and goes for Lin at
once to Kill him, and, perhaps, to eat
him. There is no vGid foundation FOR
the belief that the raungoose has recourse
to an antido:c to protect itself from the
the snakes venom. The mungoosc re-
lies on his own agility and sharp teeth,
and on the coarse hair Of bis skin, which
will avert most snake bites. But il the
snake gets well home, 50 as TO lodge ms
poison in the mungoose's skin, that nun
goose will surely die 1t is not dissimilar
II the case of the common village pigs
in India, which are well known as scay-
cngcrs and carrion eaters. They will kill
and eat any snake that comes in their
way, and the hide of their hard ard hairy
bodies and legs is almost snake proof.

against the power of monopoly as

New York Letter.
Aug. 13, 1888.

Aug. 13, 1888.
During the past week all New
York, in spirit at least, has had her
face turned to the East, awaiting
the coming of the man from
Maine, who for the past fourteen
has been studying tariff
and it's bearings upon the Ameri-
can industry abroad. After wait
ing many sleepless nights the en-
thusiasm could be no longer held
back, and the much talked of pa
rade in honor of the Plumed
Knights retnrn was held the night
before the palace steamer "City of
New York" was sighted.
1t was big show surely and one
well calculated to make Mr.. Blain's
homecoming a happy one. While
many men in all parties-and in
his own-differ with him on many
points of public policy all join in
conceding the wonderful great
ness of his intellect and no Ameri-
can for his own personal gifts,
without the glory of war about him
and without political Office has
commanded such slavish and
idolatrous alteration from his fol-
lowers.
After spending several days in
New York, during which time he
was the recipient of numberless
addresses and serenades, replying
to all, he proceeded to Boston this
a. M. where another great recep-
tion awaits him. OF the impress
sion and political effect it all has
had little can be said, as q city like
this is nearly impressionless ex-
cept in times of great excitement
and the campaign has not yet
warmed up to that.
The bitterness of the fight be-
tween Gov. Hill and Ex-Mayor
Grace is little known here outside
of the political workers, but when
the Convention meets much will
come out that now is covered up.
New York has never had a better
man in the Governors chair than
Gov. Hill but his practical political
methods have displeased the good
ly mugwumps of both parties. The
rank and file of the party-the
voters you can count on through
thick and thin to support the party
are Hill men and Tanmany is
wild over him. Grace is wealthy
and it is said his ambition to be
Governor is SO strong that if 800,
900 is needed to compass that end
it will be forth coming.
Should there be a fight developed
so bitter as to endanger the elec-
toral ticket it Is possible both Hill
and Grace may fail and then there
comes to the front man who can
poll more votes than any man in
the State, be he Democrat or Re-
publican, md that man is Mayor

A BOuntiful Harvest.

harvest will be one of unusual pro-

this true of Iowa, Minnesota, Da-

better grain to the bushel than
ever before. There is no better
