Farmers Institutes.

More light is needed among the far
mers of our great commonwealth in
order to enable them to keep up with
this age of progress in their calling.
Hence, in order to teach the people
what is being done at our Expert
mental Station, what advantage there
Is in educating farmers, what advan-
tage there is in understanding the
soils you cultivate, what advantage
there is in co operation and concert
of action among farmers, we, the I'M
dersigned, have agreed to hold FAR
MERs INSTITUTES at the following
times and places free of charge. 1t
is for the farmers of each county to
take such interest as will insure
large attendance of thinking, intelli-
gent people. Let farmers come, bring
their wives, sons and daughters. Let
all attend who are directly or indi-
rectly interested in the prospe rity of
our people.
We invite farmers TO present their
difficulties and such questions for
discussion as will be of local and gen.
eral interest and practical value. We
invite the cooperation of county or
local Oranges, Wheeler's Alliances
farmers clubs of any kind; and
where there are none to take the lead
in making suitable arrangements for
q comfortable hall in which to meet,
we ask ths.cilizens Of the town to see
to it, that our appointments proper
ly circulated and suitable arrange
meDts made for place-of meeting.
Your local press, no doubt, will do all
it can. But you must not rely on them
one. The notice is short, hence it
will take active work to notify the
people. Give us the people and we
will entertain them profitably.
Meetings to commence promptly at
10 o'clock for organization. Usually
each of us will deliver short lectures
in the forenoon-the afternoon will
be mainly devoted to discussion of
farm topics.

A. II. stewards Widow.

An amusing episode occurred in the
hearing of the Stewart will case in
New York. Mrs. Helen Brown, who
was acquainted with Mrs. Stewart for
MANY years, was called to testify to
Mrs. Stewards lack of business knowl-
edge aud her dependence on Judge
Hilton. Mrs. Stewart was decidedly
deaf, but would not use an ear-trumpet
because it would make her look old.
On one occasion Judge Mitchell called
and he said many pleasant things, to
which Mrs. Stewart smiled and nod
ded as if she understood it all; but
after the Judge had gone she cOntided
to witness that she had not heard
word he said. Mrs. Stewards business
abilities were poor. One day awoman
called upon Mrs. Stewart and insisted
upon seeing her. When Mrs. Stewart
went down the woman told her she
was a corset-maker aud badly in need
of work. Although she did not need
any corsets, Mrs. Stewart ordered SIX
pairs and allowed the woman to take
her measure. Mrs. Stewart usually
concluded the story by saying: Then
was fool enough to pay for two OF
them in advance, and that was the last
l saw of her."

a True Story of presidents L.nooia.

A telegram was received by Gen.
Scott announcing the victory of the
Union army under Little Mac and Rosy
at Rich Mountain, West Va, July II,
1861. ,

night. When knocked for the sixtb
time at the door of the Presidents bed.
chamber hesappeared, exhibiting some
little vexation, in a red flannel shirt,
which, out of modesty, he was holding
down in front. He said: Colonel do
you ever sleepp" The reply was: "Mr.
''Mr. President. l was about to ask you
the same question" He said, al have
not slept much since this Civil War
began" The rejoinder was, Indeed
Mr.. President. regret to have to dis
turb you so often Ct had to do it several
times almost every night, but you
know, Mr.. President, / am under
Authority and must obey Gen. Scott's
orders without question" 20, Colonel

night tonight, and poor Mrs. Lincoln

is now asleep, and hated to disturb
her, but she had got my dressing gown
twisted around her feet, so have had
to come out in my red shirt Either I
have grown too long or the shirt has
grown too short, l know not which,"
But said, "Mr. President, the tele-
gram hold in my hand will give you
the greatest pleasure; it is the an
nouncement of the first victory of the
Union army" but, Colonel, what ana
to do?"

once in my life to turn my back on the
President of the United States, you can

rhythm in his voice, ripple of merrf.
ment and satisfaction; Colonel, il
you will come to me every night and
every hour of every night with Just
such kilograms as that / will come out
not only in my red shirt but without

INFORMATION ABOUT WATCHES.
fhe Great Reduction in Price Erected in
Recent Years by Machinery.

"Gold watches are so common now
adays that men don't take as much
pride in wearing them as they dida
lew years ago." said a Fulton street
ieweler to a Brooklyn Eagle reporter
the other day. "The individual who
could sport gold watch and chains
dozen years ago was considered per-
son of wealth and property. But he
isn't now. Why, you will find gold
watches in the pockets of our street.
car conductors, and / have even known
them to wear handsome diamond
rings. Did you ever notice the osten-
tatiOus manner in which a young maR
handles his first gold watchP 1t Ia
rather amusing. Usually he carries it
in chamois leather pouch and is very
careful not to breathe on it or touch
the case with his fingers. He consults
it every fifteen minutes for the first
month, but he soon tires of it and then
considers it horrible bore to be asked
for the time. The demand for gold
| watches was never greater than it is
to-day. Watch companies are kept
very busy filling orders and we retail
| jewellers do good business in this
line"
''Why is it that watches are so much
cheaper now than a few years agoa"
.'Well, for one thing the watch
movements are a great deal cheaper.
Gold is just exactly the same price per
pennyweight. The reduction in price
is confined to the movements. The
watch movements of the standard
American make are very cheap. Those
in common use in gold watches of the
cheapest grade are from $40 to $50
| each, and some of the best movements
are worth at wholesale $25 to $50.
There is, however, a high-priced, fine
| American movement which may cost
you, say. $65, but they are not put in
| ordinary cases. A watch that you
paid 500 for few years ago you can
| get to-day for $50, and this $50 watch
will have a $40 or $15 movement in it.
| For $50 you should get movement
cased in solid 14-karat gold, weighing
from forty-five to fifty pennyweights.
The purchaser will get more service
out of 14-karat case than he will out
| of an 1S-karat."
| "How can dealers offer the public
| solid gold watches for $50 and 1852"
'They are not solid by any means.
| There are some unprincipled makers

side and karat inside IA karat, and q
10 and IA karat would be marked 18
karat. There is no law in America to
prevent this. The case is made of q
composition which holds a gold plat
ing finely. This composition is some
times very heavily plated. and will
wear for several years without show
ing the base metal. There is little
difficulty in disposing of them as solid
cases, aud in this way the price Is sur
prisingly low. There is more oppor-
tunity for deception in the movement
and case of a watch than in almost
any other article. The amount OF
money invested in a watch offers much
inducement to experiment. The case
manufacturer is not necessarily obliged
to know much abut the movement OF
a watch. He makes his cases to ht
the standard American sizes of move
ment and most makers produce uni
form size"
