About Watch Springs.

"How long viii it last?" asked a
man of "a jeweler who had just told him
that he would have to have new
spring in his watch.
Maybe week; maybe year or
two" answered the jeweler.
But this one has lasted four or five
years, said the man, protesiingly.
Yes; but they don't make that kind
of srring nowadays. 1t really does
seem as though they had lost the art of
tempering watch springs. | sent out a
hundred dollar watch the other day,
brand new, just from the factory and
the spring broke within twenty-four
hours. The manufacturers have spent
thousands of dollars within the past few
years experimenting to get back the
old quality for the springs, and they
have failed. The springs seem to be
getting worse, rather than better. -

He gave the following specimen to a

A farmers wife hustled into store
in Washington County the other day
and went for the proprietor with; .
Mr.. B, | bought six pounds OF
sugar here last week and when | got
home | found stone weighing two
pounds in the package. "
Yes, ma'am.
"Can you explain the swindle, sir?
Il think | can, was the proprietors
placid reply. Waen | weighed your
eight pounds of butter week before
Ast found two pound pebble in the
jar, and when | weighed your sugar
the stone must have slipped into the
scales somehow. We are both growing

Being Best Man.

1t is no small undertaking to be best
man at wedding writes Hepburn
Johns in the Pttsburg Dispatch. The
awful responsibilities of the groom
usually fill the minds of the spectators,
and the best mans trials are rather
lost sight of. Still important as the
chief male assistants duties are, they
are not really so formidable as they
seemed to an Allegheny man who re-
Gently was called upon to fulfill them.
This young man was asked by an old
friend to stand up with him when he
entered the solemn estate of matrimo-
ny. He consented willingly. He is of
a nervous temperament, and a number
of his friends, for a joke, resolved to
give him fright. SO they went to
him one by one and impressed upon
him that being best man carried with
it no small obligations. He would
have to wear = new dress suit, they
told him, and new hat new shoes,
new tie and so on. Besides. he would
have to give the bride an expensive
present, and contribute literally to the
groom's expenses. One particularly
solicitous friend was kind enough to
hgure-out exactly how much his per-
Torrance at the wedding would cost
him. The sum total, by this fictitious
figuring, was $3.50.
Now to young man on a small
salary, as the best-man-to-be was, $3.50
was no joke. Being, as | have said OF
a nervous temperament, the obligation
of spending a sum so far beyond his
means affected him powerfully. he
could not think of backing out,yet how
to scrape together the money to do
1.-THE thing well'' he hadn't an idea.
He worried himself sick about 1t, actu-
ally sick. and, to cut a long story
short, when the wedding day came the
young man who should have been best
man lay seriously i'll in bed in a hos
pital.
And this is strictly true. The joke
was carried much too far.

DONATO'S WILL POWER.


a comely Young woman, attireds IN
a soft clinging robe of white, stood on
the stage in Chickcring hall last night
says the n. Y. Times, and under the
spell of one mans will became rigid
statue. She was picked up like an in
animate thing and laid as bridge
over the space between two chairs
three and one-half feet apart. Her
head rested on one chair and her feet
barely touched the other. Then Prof.
Donate who had hypnotized her. sal,
upon her body, swinging his heels two
or three inches from the floor. The
professor weighs about 200 pounds, but
the girls body remained as stiff and
unyielding as plank. Half IA moment
afterward the hypnotic influence was
removed and the girls limp form sank
between the two chairs like the closing
of "A jackknife.
This was but one of numerous ex-
traordinary instances of his power as a
hypnotist or fascinator given by Prof.
Donate last evening. He compelled
a dozen or more obedient subjects to
assume attitudes painfully unnatural
and awkward. In her unconscious
eagerness to reach Il rose a young girl
was induced to bend over backward
until her head as well as her feet
touched the stage.
Mime. Donate assisted her husband
effectively in the most interesting ex-
perimentS of the evening. She was
placed in the hypnotic state, and diff
ferent persons in the audience were in
yited to express To her husband
whispered wishes that she might do
certain things. The lady was not sup
posed to hear or know anything about
these wishes except as they were con
veved to her mind bv the will power of
her husband She was, in fact, fast
asleep. A gentleman concealed his
seat check in the lining of his hat and
requested that the hypnotized lady find
it. She found it without a word being
said to her. A lady whispered that
she would like to have Nine. Donate

All of this was done, and the hvpuo-

A Legal Controversy Over Very Rich
Gravel Mine.
The case of Kirk vs.. Clark and Chappelet
has been on hearing in the United States
Land Office in this city for several days
past.
Kirk is seeking to have the mineral ap-
plication of the respondents to portion of
the rich Mayfower mine in Placer County
set aside on the ground that the necessary
$500 worth of work was not done on the
ground designated in the required time.
The Mayflower Company has shown that
Ii has done WORK amounting to nearly
S500,00 on the mine. but it appears that all
the labor was performed within the boun-
diaries of another land section-a portion of
which had been secured from the railroad
company.
The suit is an extensive one, as the
ground is very rich, the Mayflower Com
pany having taken out $4,000 from ground
separated only by the Invisible section line
from that IN controversy.
