Costly Watches.

John Huntington and his son, w.
T. r. Huntington of Cleveland, own
two of the best watches in the world.
They are duplicates, and were order
ed by the senior Huntington in 1881
in Geneva, Switzerland. He agreed
to pay $4,000 in gold for two watches
that should combine every movement
then known to the art of watch-m max
ing. A description of one answers
for both. The case is of pure gold );
the works number 400 pieces. On
the large dial appear four smaller
dials. The one at the top shows by
a diagram of the sky the changes of
the moon, the armament being of
| lapis lazuli, studded with golden
stars. The next dial to the right
shows the leap year, the tiny hand
moving around the circle once in four
years, and an auxiliary hand shows
each month. On the dial at the bot
tom is hand marking the quarter
seconds, and one showing the day of
the month. At the left,on the fourth
miniature dial, is hand pointing out
the day of the week, and another the
tide as it GIBBS and flows. Around
the large dial besides the usual hour
and minute hand, moves a second
hand and an extra horse timer, so ar
ranged that the distance between two
horses at the finish is accurately not
ed in quarter-seconds. By pressing
button the past hour is struck on g
deep toned bell, one of a chime; the
quarters are more silvery note, and
rapidly tinkling companion gives
the minutes. The watch is stem
winder, and one spring furnishes the
motive power. Where there is fric
ton the pivots are set in rubies.

Social Etiquette.


The announcement is frequently
seen that kissing as social saluta-
ton has gone out of vogue and should
be tabooed by people who profess
to follow the best social usage. This
is, however, very strong statement
of the case, the reign of social oscu-
lation being by no means over. But
it is true that a gradual reform has
within year or two been in progress.
as may be noted in the behavior of
people whose example influences So
ciety. On this subject Good House
keeping says:
The reform may be traced to two
causes-a gradual perception of the
fact that indiscriminate kissing is in
exceedingly bad taste, offensive to
many people and pleasing to very
few; and the discovery that it is not
only unreined but is a source of
danger to health and life. The force
of these two arguments against pro-
miscuous kissing as a social habit has
been strong enough to produce no.
ticeable change in the practice of wo-
men in society. Kissing between
women has not altogether gone out
of practice even yet, but as social
greeting it is being surely dropped.
except between relatives or very in
innate friands, and even in such cir
Giles it is becoming less common.
The kissing habit has been carried
to its greatest extreme among En-
glish speaking people, and people of
other blood are often amazed and
amused by the universally and cheap
ness of the kiss among the English
nations.
The kiss, in it's proper function,
has fine significance, and may be
made the vehicle of the purest emo
tions, the honest expression of legiti
mate feeling, a greeting full of genu-
inc, voluntary sympathy and love.
The kissing habit is an abuse and a
misuse. 1t has brought the kiss into
disgrace and made it vulgar, cheap
and hypocritical. Be it the province
of this generation of refinement and
il
graded estate and restore it to its nat
ural elevated and elevating place and
use in the social economy.

God Knows My Heart.

God knows my heart, ., holy consolation,
That comes to me when strength is well-nigh gone
In times or deepest grief and tribulation,
When 1 am weary, waiting for the dawn.
o blessed thought! so full of sweet assurance,
The dark temptations that assail my breast
know that lie remembers all my weakness
And helps me when strive to do His will
And if I struggle on with patient meekness,
He doth to me His promises fulfil;
To me-His weakest servant-will He render
The aid He gives to all who seek His love,
And by His mighty hand so strong and tender,
He'll guide me to that brighter world above.
Then cease, my soul, vain sorrow and repiping,
And with thy humble lot contented be,
Somewhere for thee the sun of joy is shining,
And mansions wait in paradise for thee.
Be faithful to the trust thy God has given,
Not for a moment lay thy burden down;
Bear thy cross onward to the gates of Heaven,
And angels there shall change it for IA crown;

Are Your Hens Healthy ?

Owing to extreme heat, moisture, and other caus-
es there has been much dullness and disease among
poultry the past summer, and especially among
chickens and young pullets expected to lay this fall
and winter. For this reason, it would be a great
mistake to kill off all the old hens when the moult
ing season is at hand and the hens have stopped
LAYING got fat, and seem to be eating their heads
off; because it is fact that year old hen, if prop
erly cared for and helped at the moultng season to
get her new coat quickly, she go to laying
early, will lay more and better eggs than young
pullets particularly if the pullets are weakened by
diarrhea, cholera, gapes, etc. Many people have
learned by experience that Sheridan's Condition
Powder given once, daily, in the food, will supply
the needed material to strengthen and invigorate
sick chickens or moultng hens and get them to lay
ing earlier than any thing else on earth Mrs. Ed
ward Brown, East Greenwich, r. l., says: 81 could
not do without Sheridan's Condition Powder when
hens mouting. 1t is the only thing to keep
when chickens small they often droop and die.
To pint of cabbered milk add teaspoonful OF
the powder mix WELL and let the chicks eat all they
will once day; it does seem to be just what they
need, they soon become so vigorous. People laugh
ed at me when began use Sheridan's Powder,
and had no idea 1 should win premium. They
laugh best who laugh last however. L got more
eggs than any of my nelghbors, and some OF them
had over 100 hens. We Matched &c chickens from

Forest Elixirs.

Inhaling strength with every breath
Soft-blown across the mountain way,
1 stroll where Autumn's crimson death
And Summer resurrection say
The annual rhyme of death and life.
Smooth winds the road DER covert glade,
On upward slope, by varying strife,
For mastery, of light and shade.
Here greenery hath conquered all,
And dominates g world of love;
Yon distant hill is mighty thrall
OF mastering blueness throned above.
Here find L quietness L seek
Far from the turbulence of men,
And mildly importune the meek
Faun-voices of the woodland glen;
Where think not that the woods are still,
No; for whose heart can overhear
Each runlet speaketh, and each hill,
A music hid from carnal ear.
The dumb rocks hint their history;
And myriad winged things float past
With messages of mystery
Sent from the dim leaf-shadowed vast.
All tender moss that steadfast clings
To warn the oak root, mantle-wise,
Some answer has to questionings,
Repose for restless subtleties.
If would stanch an anguish sore
That contumely's thrust hath made,
Or into wounds mild healing pour
Away from battle fields of trade,
walk amid these leafy balms-
Wood Installations magic breeds-
Upborne upon the upheld palms
OF elin greenwood Ganymedes,
And learn rapt thought is kin to prayer,
And grace, as juices from earth's sod,
Flows through the veins of spirit where
Mans soul doth feel the touch ofGod.

CINE was set up and tested, but it

takes he had to correct, and it was
late in the evening when work was
complete.
"How is it now, Tom?" asked Mr..

to depart.
"She's all right, sir. You may

At the cottage Ellen Darcy's fut-
tering heart was sinking. That
morning, after Tom had gone, she
had found a two-dollar bill In her
coffee cup. She knew that he left it
for her. She had been out and
bought tea and sugar and flour and
butter, and bit of tender steak, and
all day long ray of light had been
dancing and skimming before her
a ray from the blessed light of other
days. With prayer and hope she
set out the tea table and waited, but
the sun went down and no Tom came.

"Tom, Tom. You have been to

And she threw her arms around
his neck and covered his face with
kisses.
"Nellie, darling, wait little and
you shall have the old Tom back
again."
ooh, Tom. I've got him now

the full power and blessing of .wo,

1t was a banquet of the gods, was
