A Curious Old Watch.

Charles 8. Nelson, a painter living in
Chicago, Ill.,, recently received from his
father, who resides in Copenhagen, Den
mark, watch, which it is claimed is
400 years old. Accompanying the watch
are records which prove it to hive been
in the possession of the family for 200
years.
This timepiece is smaller in circumfer-
ence than the watches of the present day,
but it is three times as thick and re-
sembles a sphere cut in half. The face
is open and the case Is silver, bearing a
carving of Cleopatra on her way down
the Nile. On the face are two dials, ,2Rs
1y;th;- <i-~ s.~-.. TIo ""VOi one teiIs
the minutes, hours, days of the week
and of tho month, there being separate
hands for each. On the inner dial are
representations of the sun, moon and
stars. As the day wanes the sun becomes
darkened and the moon and the stars
shine, the inner dial being illuminated.
How this is accomplished seems to be un-
known.
The works IRE OF hardened gold and
are very intricate, but only require wind
| ing once every three weeks. The watch
was WOuHu up Oh leaFiuS i'S CSohuiho-
Wan home, and was going on arriving in
Chicago, but was day ahead. MIR.
Nelson took it to some of the leading
watchmakers to have this defect reme-
died, but they refused to undertake the
job, owing to the intricate machinery of
the watch.
That It can be repaired the records
which show it to have been 1876 years in
the family set forth, for liza years ago il
was put to rights in Amsterdam, 14s
years ago it was regulated in Hamburg,
eighty-five years agoi was repaired in
Copenhagen, and in 1864 it was put in
( order at Westervig, Denmark, by l. G.
Christensen, jeweler, who is now hv-
ing somewhere on the North Side. IN
Chicago. The maker of this interesting
chronometer was Steuter, of Amsterdam
but no date is given. Mr.. Nelson showed
the watch to a jeweler, who offered $1,000
for it, but Mr.. Nelson declined it, anc
intends to retain the heirloom In th'
family.-Neo York Telegram.

Petroleum as Hair Persuader.

Not suspicion of hair remained on
the cranium of Pennsylvania engineer.
He had heard of petroleum as q hair
restorer, and, as ne ran into the oil re-
gIous, daily, decided to try it. Procur-
ing felt skull-cap he lined it with cotton
waste from the cab aud continually kert
it moist with the crude oil. His duties
occupied his attention and he soon be-
came accustomed to the odor. In few
weeks he was surprised by silky down
which made his head feel soft to the
touch, and in a few months astonlshed
his friends with beautiful crop of short
curly hair.
Being almost bald myself last May,
writes one who subscribes himself a,
Experience" and rapidly losing what
hair was left began to use kerosene.
Every time my hair lost its gloss would
again rub q half -thimbleful on tho scalp,
and soon it ceased to fall. After six
weeks of kerosene 1 changed to vaseline,
not, however, before short, fine hair had
appeared. am still oiling my poll with
this odorless by-product of tho crude oil,
and still docs the covering continue to
thicken and refuse to fall. To bare the
head to sun and wind is also unobjection.

BY THE MORNING LIGHT.

Oh. glad and red the light Of morn
Across the field Of battle broke
And showed the waste of tramplei corn
And smoulderins farmsteads wrapped II
smoke;
And cold and stark the soldier lay,
Shot down beside his shattered gun;
And grimly splashed with blood and clay,
His face looked ghastly in the sun.
Oh, glad and red, tho morning shons
In happy England far away,
Where knelt bright-haired little ono
Beside her mothers knee to pray.
And prompting each fond faltering word.
y The soldiers wife was glad and smiled;
: She knew not twas a widow heard
The prattle Of an orphan child.
Oh, glad and red, oh, glad and red
The morning light glowed everywhere;
And one beam touched the father dead,
And one the child who knelt in prayer;
And from the trampled corn and clay
A skylark sprang with joyous breast,
For shot and shell had spared that day
It's four brown eggs and little most.

Stuffed Owls Fashionable.

Stuffed owls are still fashionable for
decorative purposes, and the taxidermists
still charge high prices for them. Among
the most costly are specimens of the
great white owl, which is really pretty
bird. Ex-Assemblyman William VAIN
night gives me information which leads
me TO think that specimens of this kind
should become cheaper. "Some time
ago" he says, "central Rockaway Beach
was visited by an immense flock of great
white owls. Scores of them have been
shot and sold to New York taxidermists.
These birds were never known to visit
the beach before, and it is a mystery
where they came from and how they came
to aiight on tho Rockaway sands. -

Frozen I'm a Red Hot Vessel

Water can be frozen in red hot
vessel. If water or any other volatile
liquid is dropped upon red hot metal il
assumes spheroidal form and rotates
rapidly. The globule does not really
touch the metal, but rests on cushion
of its own vapor. A popularity OF this
condition is that the globule evaporates
slowly and its temperature is always be-
low its boiling point. If liquid sulphuro,, IS

Wasted hands are reaching TO you
Help us brother as we die.
Saw not death Is all that's left us,
Although life Is all uukind,
Aud Gods hand Is heavy on ue,
Cropping goes each broken mind.
Cropping wildly In the darkness
That has shut us out from you,
We are barred from all your pleasures
And our simple wants are few.
Only warmth for thin blood stealing
Through the feeble limbs so cold,
Only cheerful rooms 10 brighten
The few years our lives may hold.
Food and raiment do not grudge us
From the wealth we helped TO gain,
When we worked and toiled among you,
Giveus but our own again.
IL there Is chance for healing
From the living death we bear,
'Tls not In close, crowded quarters
breathing DER the noieomc air,
Worn and weary through the summer
we have worked with willing hands,
Done our share, but tuncompleted
Stil, the home we've workedfor stands.
O. our brothers, sons and fathers
Nv the homes we know no more,
BY the cherished hopes that failed us
when oar minds grew racked and sore.
Let the warmth and light of heaven
Stream into our checrlcss hearts,
Help humanity and science
Work for uS appointed parts.
That our lot may be less droary
That Hupcs ray may shine more bright
Aud some CLEANS OF cheer come sweetly.
