IMPROVED WATCHES.

They Are Theoretically Sealed, and Run
for Three Years.
He entered Maiden Lane shop and
asked for a watch.
ST want something that will keep
time" he said.
The dealer brought small velvet rug
and placed two watches on it, one a SUI
perb gold instrument and the other
nickel-plated.
"Do you recommend these?"
"We do.''
ssWhose works?''
'sThis," touching the gold one, sis by
Badolet; can not say who made the
other"
"Both Swiss?"
"Both."
'sFcr the Badolet $345; for the other
$780,"
six dollars and half against $345l
Both keep time; one keeps as good time
as the other. Do you really recommend
this nickel affair?"
eve do. We have sold numbers of
them and have never heard complaint
No such watch can be made in this
country for any thing like the price It
seems cheap enough at $3.50, but you
know there Is a duty of 25 per cent on
it, besides which we make small profit
l dare say the same watch can be bought
in Paris for 90 francs.
''Those foreigners have recently made
remarkable Improvements in watches
and clocks, which sooner or later will
bring about a complete revolu ton in
hGrology. A journeyman clock-maker
in the neighborhood of Lyons has in
vented method of making lady's
watch go without being wound up DUR
ing whole year, mans watch during
three years, pendulum of middling
size twenty years, and public clock for
space of $50 years.
'sHe manufactures watches of so small
size that they are worn in fnger-rings,
taking the place of seal. and require
winding but once In fifteen days. OF
course you have heard of the watch worn
by the Empress Marie Louise on the
forefnger of her left hand That was
rare jewel, and was said to have cost
$50, 600 francs. Fifty francs will buy one
ike LII now.
''There is one great drawback to these
watches: They can be wound up only
by the inventor himself, or those &C.
quainted with his secret. The works
are inclosed in cases Theoretically
sealed. But coming back TO the bust
ness in hand, this $50 is a
stem-winder and wants winding ev-
cry day like every other good and
honest watch. And the beauty of such
watch is that you can carry it in the
same pocket with your knife and keys,
and when boot-jack isn't handy it's a
good thing to shy at cats in their matu-
final concerts. Every man, every gen
tleman, should provide himself with two
watches. I'll make you special offer:
Take the two at $3.50. We recomme nd
BOTH
at isn't half bad idea. Let's see
I'll tell you what I'll do. Give me the
nickel watch for S. and if it proves en-
tirely satisfactory in a months wear I'll
take the other. What do you say ?''
The dealer was somewhat doubtful
about his customer, and the result was
no trade.-N. Y. Tribune.

Color ia Music and Music Ia Color So Saws
q Clever Artist.
There is notable artist not MANY
leagues from this great city, who has a
gay little hobby about color, which he
rides with easy grace. He claims that
color is music and music is color, and he
aas made ineligible the original idea
IF the correspondence between color
and sound. On this idea he has ar
ranged a scale accordingly, which is
truly a chromatic one. He bases his
theory on the agreement or parallelism
in vibration of Eight" waves and
'spend'' waves. Each color has it's cor
responding note. Thus the slowest vi
brations of waves Of light make ''red"
the lazy color''-and the slowest VIZ
brations of sound make &C." There
fore ''red" is &C. The swiftest vibra-
ions of sound produce "B'' fiat, and the
quickest vibrations Of light violet"
Consequently violet is ''B'' fat. &C."
&C." and &C." or "red, yellow and
blue" are thus perfect chord of colors
Or sounds So the duo of light and
sound proceeds, from the simple primary
aues through the more varied and COM
olex tints and shades of the graduated
1armonies of the color gamut.
Society bellies may array themselves
according to a musical scale, and be
symphonies in rose, or yellow, or blue,
Ind the description of their gowns, told
n notes of music, would produce
sparkling operatta Thus, one
might say that Mrs Hicks-Lord looked
more than usually beautiful in sep
dress (corn color of rarest silk, ex-
auisitely trimmed with "B" fiat (violet).
and one of Mrs Princess Hatzfeldt's
gowns would be o love Tilt in itself, and
Mrs. Potter's artistic dresses would be
madrigals, stately minuets, waltzes,
and, mayhap, now and then, ballads in
minor keys.
He who wishes to be practical may
test the theory for himself, as it has
been satisfactorily done in town not
far away. Rooms have been tinted &C
cording to this scale with most charm
ing effect, and a picturesque little cot
tage of delicate robin's-egg blue, with
light shrimp pink blinds, painted &C.
cording to musical notes, makes a pleas
ing picture amid the varied foliage.-N.

"Boys, be H.-4e, here comes fool!"
exclaimed great theologian, ceasing
to amuse himself by jumping over
chairs and tables, as he saw a solemn,
pedantic friend approaching. "You
don't know the luxury of playing the
fool said Lord Chancellor Eden. as he
danced in his own drawing-room to a
tune of his own singing You are a
father, Signor Ambassador and so we will
finish our ride" said Henry ". of
France, when the Spanish Minister dis
covered him riding round the room on a
stick with his son.
Dugald Stewart, the philosopher, was
unce found by friend, trying to bal
.nce peacock's feather on his nose.
His competitor in this contest of skill
was Patrick Fraser Tyler, the histo-
rian.
Dean Swift used to amuse himself by
tarneSsing his servants with cords, and
driving them up and down stairs, and
through the rooms of the deanery.
Faraday played marbles and ball with
little boys, and took part in charades,
playing once the Learned pig"
William Pitt delighted to romp with
children. He was once playing with his
niece and nephews, who were trying to
blacken his face with burnt cork. A
servant announced that two members of
the Cabinet desired to see him on bust
ness Let them wait in the other
room," said Pitt, catching up cushion
and belaboring the girl and boys. They
got Kim down, and were actually daub-
ing his face, when he said: ''Stop; this
will do. I could beat you all, but we
must not keep these grandees waiting
longer"
basin of water and towel were
brought in, and the great Prime Minis
ter washed his face, hid the basin, and
then received the two lords.
Doctor Battle, an eminent london
physician, used to amuse himself by
gazing at the Punch and Judy show. He
was such successful mimic of 'Punch"
that he once saved patients life by
initiating that character.
The patient was suffering from a
swelling in the throat, and the doctor,
turning his wig, appeared at the bed
side with the face and voice of punch"
The sick man laughed SO heartily that
the swelling broke, and a complete cure
followed. Man is the only animal who
can laugh; he, therefore, relishes lit.

DlSGRACEFUL RITES.
The CHASTITY Levity That Prevails at an
English Funeral.

The CHASTITY Levity That Prevails at an
English Funeral.
1t has been asserted with tedious
iteration that the English people take
their pleasures sadly. No one will deny
the truth of the Indictment, but it is
seldom urged that in revenge we take
our sadnesses pleasantly. Neverthe-
less an English funeral is frequently
merry-making, a jovial excuse for dance
and song and the passing Of the flowing
bowl. To go to funeral is with some
of us equivalent to going out for fes-
tive holiday.
Let any one who is anxious to study
the manners and customs of the English
mourners spend an afternoon-Monday
afternoon for choice-in the neighbor-
hood of public-house near cemetery.
I'll warrant me he'll come away with all
his preconceived notions of ''going to
funeral" knocked into the cockedest of
cooked hats.
The other day it was my good-or evil
fortune to have an hour to spare in
northern suburb Of London. l had
driven some distance, and I wanted to
give my horse rest; and so | put UP
for an hour, and then wandered away
to a public-house In the neigh Dor
hood, to which / was attracted by the
large number of empty hearses and
mourning coaches drawn up in pictur-
esQue confusion around it. Outside the
undertakers' men were chatting to-
gether, with their hands in their
pockets, and were smoking short clays
and passing the pewter along Inside
the bar was crowded with men and
women dressed in deep mourning. I
explored the house, and found mourners
in the coffee-room, mourners in the
Smoke-room-it as case of mourners,
mourners everywhere, and can't
finish the quotation, for there certainly
WAS drop to drink. The mourners in
the coffee-room were more subdued than
the mourners in the bar, but they were
merry. Here was widow who had Just
left the dear departed sup the road"
smiling at a story which another lady
nourner was telling about "Old Jones'"
There was young man with black
band up to the top of his hat coaxing
girl mourner to have another whisky.

and saw but few. One or two eyes were
red, but smiles were in the ascendant.
and altogether the various mourners be-
longing to the hearses outside seemed
disposed to have pleasant hour at the
pub before they went home.-London

by the Court ladies when one day she
read them few chapters. She was
bright enough to wish a less partial
test, so she sent it under an assumed name
to leading publisher, who politely de-
clined to accept it. The publisher was
much chagrined when the affair came
out, and on the story being Photographed

RIGHT USE OF WEALTH.
European Millionaires Who Devote Theil

European Millionaires Who Devote Their
Money to Public Good.
The parks and pleasure grounds Of
small towns throughout Europe are not
less surprising than their libraries,
museums and art galleries. We saw
nothing more pleasing during our recent
travels than the hillside Of Burger, in
= Norway. 1t has been converted into
one of the most picturesque of pleasure
grounds: fountains, cascades, water
falls, delightful arbors, fine terraces
and statues adorn what was before a
barren mountain side. Here is field
worthy of study by the millionaire who
would confer lasting benefit upon his
fellows.
Another beautiful instance of the
right use of wealth in the direction of
making cities more and more attractive
we found in Dresden. The owner of
the leading paper there bequeathed it's
revenues forever to the city, to be used
in identifying it. An art committee de-
cides from time to time what new ar
fistic feature is to be introduced or
what hideous feature is to be charged,
and as the revenues accure they are ex-
pended in this direction.
Thus through the gift of this patriotic
newspaper proprietor his native city of
Dresden is fast becoming one of the
most artistic places of residence in the
whole world. A work having been com
pleted, it devolves upon the city to
maintain it forever. | may be excused
If commend to our millionaire news
paper proprietors the example of their
colleague in the capital of Saxony?-
