RHoME, TEX, March "A small
batch of Immigrants to this state from
Georgia came up on the passenger train
from Fort Worth this morning. Between
Fort Worth and this point one of the
ladies gave partial birth to child. On
arrival of the train bed was procured
and she was placed on it and carried TO
the residence of Mr.. J. P. Perkins,
where, afterwards, the child was fully
delivered, but dead. The name of the
family is Roman and they landed here in
a deplorable condition financially, not
having cent to procure the necessities
of life and pay the expenses incident TO
such cares as the above.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.

Three Prominent Young Ladies' Crazy on the
Subject and Incarcerated.
BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, March 3.-Mrs.
Mollie Smith and her two sisters, Misses
Julia and Emma Barnes, three promi-
nent and highly respected young ladies
of Saybrook, were lodged in the county
jail in this city Saturday night. They
are suffering from the widest and most
affecting emotional insanity upon the
question OF Christian science. They have
recently been attending meetings held by
the so-called ''faith workers, and
their minds have given away entirely.
The girls are devoted Catholics, and
bright and amiable women. The sight
in their room at the county jail is most
pitiful and touching. Their relatives are
in sore distress, and are utterly power
less to do anything with them.

that no one thought of reducing it to
pocket size Some time in the fourteenth
century the escapement was introduced
in what is known as De Wyck's clock.
This allowed of reduction in size. but it
seems TO have taken 100 years more for
the idea to have gotten into mems minds
that the clock might be made small
enough to carry in the rocket, or to hang
as an ornament upon the person.
The city of Nuremburg claims to have
made the first watch in l477, and Peter
He'll, of that city, made watches of steel
as early as 1890. 1t is certain that the
first watches were called Nuremburg eggs
"a fact that Identifies both the place of
making and the shape of the watch
The works were inclosed in circular
metal cases, and were hung from the
glrd'e. They generally suggested the idea
of the egg
The first English watches were made
upon a different principle. They had
weights and we're used as rocket clock.
The earliest mention made of one under

to Edward VI. as being "one lalum or
watch of iron, the case being likewise of

Such early watches had only one hand,
and required to be wound up twice a day.
The dials were of silver and brass, the
cases had no crystals, but opened at the
back and front, and we're four or five
inches in diameter-about the size of a
common dessert plate.

verses and deyices-tokens of love or
triendship-which, although generally

worked with the needle were always
designated watch papers. Sometimes
they were poetical conceits like the fol-
lowing:

Time was-is past-thou canst not it enjoy.

exception to the protesque forms which
went out of fashion in the seventeenth
century, and that was in the case of
watches made in the form of cross and

They are sometimes called abbess
watches, but for no good reason. one
curious fact in the history of watches is
that IN one of the halls at Oxford there

watch, and if men have lived (as some
scientists claim for l00,C coo years then
how singular the fact that for $4,000
years of that time no one ever had a watch.
Of course the watch grew out of the
precedent use of the clock, and it was
about 500 years between the first clock
and the first watch. That is as closely as
one can estimate dates when the precise
year of either invention is unknown.
The invention of the clock is general Y
ascribed to the monk Gerbert. who was
afterward raised to the tiara, under the
name of Pope Sylvester II. The first
clocks Were cumbrous things, calculated
only to be hung to the wall, and worked
with cords and weights. For long time
they were only used in converts and
monasteries where they helped to make
miserable the lives of the inmates. 9th
ers say that the invention of the clock
was due to the Saracens. However, it
was invented and for a long time was

time in France than in England, for they
were named with clocks in statute en-

All the earlier watches were extremely
rude measurers of time, and the necessity
of frequent winding is alluded to by
Shakespeare IN Twelfth Night, where he
makes Malvolio say: Il frown the while,
and perchance wind-up my watch, or play
with some rich jewel.

watch-the substitution of springs for

it has stouter body, 4 longer head larger scales,
not many spines in the front fin of the back, and
