o-WH AND NOWHERE.

II 1t happened so that 1 felt inclined,
And nobody hindered me OF my mind
Shall I tell you what 1 would do, my dear?
Iwould find some lost, forgotten old Year -
Some dull old Year, all dead and dry,
With nothing in t to remember it by;
Some Year uncalendared, lost to fame,
That nobody lived in to give it a name,
That went unrecorded from green to sere,
And never knew that it was a Year;
And out OF that Year I would take o Day,
Not too rosy and not too gray
Some Day when Fate, aweary Of doom,
Fell fast asleep by the side of her loom,
And left it a mere furnished circle OF SUN,
Without a chance in it to trip upon;-
And on that Day OF a dateless Year,
/ should not hate you, nor hold you dear,
should go on a journey anesene should know
where, -
No one should ask, and no orc should care.
1 would find some ship that had lain alone.
Long becalmed In a Sea unknown,
And the ship in a lazy course should run,
To some Land that is nowhere under the sun.
] would have no wind to fret the sail,
] would have no oar when the wind should fail.
But tide should ripple along the keel,
A slow, warm tide that she scarce could feel
And so we should float, in nobody's sight,
Wrap in a wayeriug sort of light,
That is neither sunlight, starlight, nor shade,
But just the kind that never was made.
And when we had come to that Doubtful Land,
The Land that is nowhere, you understand,
How long 1 should unger, or what should do.
Or whether I ever 4kbuid come back to you,
In that long Day of a dateless Year,
Why, how can I tell you all that, my dear?

ABOUT GOLD WATCHES.
The Demand for Them Growing In A
Parts of the Country

The Demand for Them Growing I'm AAA
Parts of the Country
Gold watches are so common now
adays that men don't take as much
pride in wearing them as they did O.
few years ago." said a Fulton street
jeweler the other day. "The indlvid-
ual who could sport a gold watch and
chain a dozen years ago was consld-
cred a person of wealth and property.
But he isn't now. Why, you will find
gold watches in the pockets of our
street-car conductors, and i ave even
known tkem to wear handsome dia-
mond rings. Did you Y e notice the
osteptatious manner in which a young
man handles his first gold watch? 1t
is rather amusing. Usually he carries
it in a 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 a horrible bore
| to be asked for the time. The demand
for gold watches was v greater
than it is to-day. Watch companies
are kept very busy filling orders, and
we retail jewelers. do a good business
in this line"
''Why is it that watches are-ao much
cheaper now than a few years ago."
''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 800
| each, and some of the best movements
are worth at wholesale $25 to $50.
TherDis, however, a high-priced, fine
| American movement which may cost
you $75, but they are not put in ordi-
nary cases. A watch that you paid
$40 for a few years ago you can getso-
day for SEQ, and this $50 watch will
have a $1Cor SIS movement in it. For
$50 you should get a movement cased in
solid 14-carat gold, weighing from IS
to so pennyweights. The purchaser
will get more service out of a 14-carat
case than he will out of an 18-carat-"
How can dealers offer the public
solid gold watches for $40 and 1852"
They are not solid by any means.
There are some u~nprincipled makers
whe7 will mark a case of 10 carat out
side and s carat inside IA carat, and a
10 and IA carat would be marked Is
carat. There is no law in America
to prevent this. The case is made of a
composition which holds a gold plat
ing finely. This composition is some
times very heavily plated, and will wear
for several years without showing the
base metal. There is little difficulty
in disposing of them as solid gold
cases, and in this way the price is sur
prisingly low. There is more oppor-
tunity for deception in the movement
and case of a WarcEehapn almost
any other article. The amount of
money invested in a watch offers mrJh
~inducement to experiment. The case
manufacturer is NO ApecessSrily obliged
to know much about the movement of
a watch. He makes his cases to fit the
standard American sizes of movements,
and most makers produce a uniform
size.-Brooklyn Eagle.

QUEER BIRD NESTS.
Strange Places Sometimes Selected by
Winged Builders,

Strange Places Sometimes Selected by
Winged Builders.
Birds have some queer fancics in 1e.
Letting spots for building their nests,
Some time ago, nea Seayille, N. j., I
noticed in a grove of oaks that nearly
every tree had an old tin can nailed up
in it. | found on examination that tre
cans we're all occupied by wren anu
blue-birds. But what attracted my a.
tention most was an old boot fastened
in n of the trees. AS l approached
it a blue-bird few out, and although 1t
was twenty-five feet from the ground,
l climbed up and saw inside five young
birds comfortably sitting in the nest.
I once found a veritable t~ower-nest
built by a pair of robins. They lad
built a nest in a cedar tree, and it had
been found unsuitable for some rea-
sons that they alone kr%@. Immedi>
ately afterwards they built a second
one on top of it, and still being unsatr
isfied they built a third n But they
we're very hard to please, for still
| another nest was constructed on top OF
the fourth before they were contented
to begin housekeeping. Not long after
that four little heads were peelang
over the edge of their lofty home.
An old gentleman once told me that
his wife, on a certain wash-day, Missed
a lace cap that she had hung out on
the line and fastened with a clothes
pin. Several days %afterward, when
walking in his garden ne noticed
something white f~uttering in the
branches of a cherry tree, and an ex-
animation showed that a pair of robins
had taken the cap from the line and
fastened it among the twigs and grass
of their nest. The birds had undoubt-
eddy pulled the cap from between the
prongs Of the clothes-pin, for they could
not otherwise have obtained itP They
were left in undisturbed possession OF
their prize. .
New York, have reguTsrly for several
years built their nest ann reared their
young mes in the right hand of Daniel
Webster's statue. But a stranger place
than that has been used by a pair in
Charing Cross, London, for six yea
past. These brave little fellows have
made their home right in the mouth OF
a lion-but the lion is made of stone.
In st. Thomas, Ont, several nests oil
wrsns were found inside street gas
lamps, where during the night a bright
light was always burning, but they
seemed in nowise3 disturbed by it

A little later, Jacks told Hannie the
good news that he had intended to tell
her when he had met her in the path
returning from the spring.
"You see, I've been putting in my

and the other day went TO the city,

To Destroy Rats.

Some three weeks stree, Mr.. James
Newell. a neighbor of pl1 in reply
to my question said: you will take
jar or pot, put it IN your corn
crib, ELL it within four. or FIVE inches
Of top with water, puta double hand
full of cotton seed On / jp of the water,
and pile the corn a. jund so that the
rats can easily reach the top. you will
catch every rat that passes by; the rats
will jump on the cotton seed" 1.-THE
next day / tried the experiment, and
three days after had my jar examined,
and the servant pulled out thirty-one
drowned rats. In sixteen days I had
caught ninety-two rats" Newell says
the rats never hurt his corn. I have
repeated the stog ito several, and all
who have tried it, have been success
full. The best place to set your jar, is
by the side Sr wall of the crib. Al
who + troubled with rats, try it.
