New chronoGraphIc watch.

The Partisan matchmaker, Schwob, has
brought out a new chronographic watch
(montrc observatory which is a marked
improvement on the ordinary stop watch.
The face is furnished with a second small
dial, similar in size to the seconds dial.
BY touching a knob the hands of this
dial, which is u complete copy of the
large one, are Mt replaced to 10
o'clock, and then continue their progress
from that point.
This method is very practical, as it not
only shows the time of commencing an
observation, but infallibly determines its
duration without the least trouble, all the
observer having to do for this latter pur-
pose being simply to read the time indi-
Gated by the small dial, and to subtract
that time from the true hour Of the large
dial. This can all be dono without exer-
cising any memory or making any note.
We think the invention invaluable for
making astronomical or other observa-
tions. The eye need not be even turned
TO the watch in touching the knob, which
can DO done in perfect darkness. A sleeper
is suddenly awakening from a nightmare,
or hearing a strange noise ut night, and
wishing to fix the time of the occurrence,
need only press the knob of his watch and
turn his head quietly round on his pillow,
knowing that in the morning he will have
the exact hour and minute correctly
registered Matchmaker and Jeweler.

RELIC OF FEUDAL TIMES.

Why IA Host Pours burgundy into HI.
Own Glnss Before Serving Guests.
Three gentlemen were dining In an nd
town restaurant the other night when n
bottle of choice Burgundy was placed
before the host. He poured n few drops
into his own glass and then filed the
glasses of his guests, after which he
again turned his attention to his own.
Then they all lifted their glasses, inhaled
the delicate aroma, and slipped the wine
gently.
THAT is one of the few parties" said
the proprietor of the restaurant to a re-
porter, indicating the man who was tax
ing the part of host, "who knows how to
pour wine. Most persons make a great
splurge and send the wine gurgling into
the glasses OF their guests. The proper
thing Is to pour just q little into your
own glass first and then fill those of your
friends. This custom is a relic of ancient
feudal times, and is intended to indicate
that the win is not drugged or poisoned
by showing that the host intends to par
take OF 1T also. In those days when
poisoning was a highly developed art and
violence reigned supreme, aver friends
might be forgiven for being q little
suspicious of each other. Even later in
the worlds history, n general serving un-
der the first Napoleon found it advisable
to insist upon his hosts drinking the
wine with him to be sure that it had not
been poisoned. In this instance, how
ever, as the hosts patriotism inspired
them to include themselves among the
victims, the p%recaution was fruitless.
1T was during the wars of Napoleon
i'll Spain. The general had command of
a regiment of h guard of Jerome, ex-
king of Westphalia. The soldiers, weary
with a long days march, arrived under
the walls of Figueiras. The general sent
TO the prior of the convent in that town
demanding refreshments for his officers
and men. The prior sent back word that
the men could find quarters in the town.,
and that he would entertain the staff Of
ticers, Such an invitation from a pre-
sumable enemy aroused the generals
suspicions, and in order to be on the safe
side he invited the prior and two of his
monks to dine with him. After a hearty
meal, supplemented by delicious wines
and liquors, the general and his aids were
Mortified to hear the following from their
host, who addressed them calmly and
deliberately: Gentlemen, if you have
any worldly affairs to settle there is no
TIM to lose; this Is the last meal you and
l shall tako on earth; in an hour we
shall know the secrets of the world to
come
Within the time set, notwithstanding
%antidotes and physics prescribed by the
doctors, the prior's prediction was full
filled. He and his monks had put Il
deadly poison in the wine to rid the
world of their hated enemies. Although
the original reason for the custom has
fortunately no longer any force, it is con
sidered a mark Of i'll breeding to neglect
it."-New York Evening Sun.

The management of these huge dry
goods houses in New York is n matter of
larger import than the careless multitude
surging through thom all day long ever
stop to thin. The army of employees is
as large and difficult a command as that
of many epauletted officers gain renown
for controlling, and is made up of much
moro unruly elements thar that compos-
ing most regiments. There are many
West Point graduates prepared to assume
the control of large bodies of men, but if
their command was composed to a great
extent of women and children they would
probably prefer the position of private in
the ranks or would hastily resign from
the service at once The fact, too, that
the majority of tho customers are women
and unused to business methods compli-
Gates the difficulty beyond computation.

Zach Taylor rode ut Washington the
horse he lad used in the Mexican war.
Its name was ''Old Whitley" and it fol-
lowed the funeral car Of the dead presi-

his presidency. He rode twice daily

A strange custom is still practiced in
Seville-that of boys dancing before the

handed down from the days of Solomon,
and to be n remnant of David's dance be-

the Tarshish of Scripture. This appears
confirmed by n Gravestone being found

varIatIons in Lung CnnncItr.

From many observations on healthy
men, DIR. ~Theodoroff, of St. Petersburg,
learns that the vital capacity of the lungs
increases from morning till evening, de-
cIeasing again during the night. After
each meal. too, there is a special increase,
followed by a slight decrease; the vital
capacity being at its highest shortly after
dinner. and at its lowest after getting up
in the morning. The force of inspiration
and expiration follows nearly the same
law.-Arkansaw Traveller.

From an xtended and exceedingly interesting

and services with the house of which he is now
the honored head, and the development of the
present immense enterprise from its moderate
beginning. The article goes on to say:
The business begun by the elder Mr.. c. N. Oehm,

Health Hints.

Water should always be swallowed
slowly. 1t is not the stomach which
is dry, but the mouth and throat. II
you toss off a drink of water You
throw it through your mouth into
your stomach, without doing the
former any good, while you injure
the latter by loading it with what it
does not require, Drink slowly. and
keep the water in your mouth for a
moment when you begin.
LAUGHTER.
Chanasse, an eminent surgeon,
says: Encourage your child to be
merry and to laugh aloud; a good
hearty laugh expands his chest. and
makes his blood bound merrily
along. Commend me to good laugh
not to a little, sings erirg laugh,
but to one that will sound through
the house; it will not only do your
child good, but will be benefit to
all who hear, and be an important
means of driving the blue devils
away from a dwelling Merriment
is very catching, and spreads in a
remarkable manner, few being able
to resist the contagion. A hearty
laugh is delightful harmony; indeed,
it is the best of all music.''
In an acute attack of headache,
with sleeplessness at night, wiring
linen cloths out of hot water and APP
ply to the forehead and back of the
head. Keep jug of hot water in
bed, and as often as the cloths get
cool, heat them on the jug and re-
apply. A bag OF hot water placed
between the shoulders at night. will
often conduce sleep. The feet, of
course should be kept warm by bed
shoes or a jug of hct water.
The hot fermentation is beneficial
in almost every acute disease accom-
panied by severe pain, and is often
of great service in chronic .nfiamma-
tons. An exchange suggests a more
excellent way than dipping the cloth
IN hot water,-"Wring several thick.
nesses of flannel out of cold water, so
it will not drip; place between folds
of paper, and lay it upon hot regis
ter or top of a stove. Steam will
generate and permeate the whole
cloth. and thus the required temper.
