DemagnetizIng Watches.

A simple method OF removing mag.
netism from watches consists in the
use Of q compound horseshoe magnet
placed with its poles upward, and
a support about three feet above Il.
From this support the watch to be
demagnetized is suspended in card.
board tray, which hangs by a twisted
thread. As the thread untwists the
watch is gradually removed from tina
magnetic field. This is SO much hand.
Ter than the ordinary way Of demag-
netizing watches, which entails the uss
ofan electromagnetic engendered from =
battery or other source of current, or
the employment of permanent horse.

and the poor are growing poorer, as
some Of the talking reformers assert.
it is SINE consolation to know that
the same fellows are not rich Tor
many generations. 1.-THE father lives
in clover, the son is very apt to have
to shovel dirt on the streets for his
bread and butter, and the very re,
formers, who are making Rome howl
with their dire prophecies OF what IA
going to happen, have only to begin
to "hustle" to get some of the cash
the rich ones are losing. About the
only way to keep property in the
family for generations, is to buy d
good farm with it, take good card

it down to the boys on condition
that they keep it in good condition
and will it to the next generation,

The ERotisrn OF the Sick.

The first enemy that i'll health brings
in it's train is perhaps egotism, and
a formidable enemy it will often prove.
The man who never enjoys good
health is forced to keep guard over
himself, to ask whether this or that
thing will hurt him. to watch whether
this or that course of treatment
seems to be tho more hopeful. His
thoughts being thus drawn toward
himself, he becomes selt-absorbed;
my health, my interests, my concerns
begin to take u larger place in the
moving panorama OF life than they
do with u physically healthy man.
The next thing is that they arrogats
to themselves by far the larger part
Of his conversation. his ailments, his
course of treatment, his inability to
do this or that on account of my
unfortunately weak health" are the
standing dish upon which you may
reckon whenever youlook in to have
n chat with him. Even IL little boy
of II years old, whose doctor not
very wisely told him to watch and
report his symptoms, has been
known to descant upon the halfdoz-
en- kinds of headaches from which he
suffered to bored company offriends
and relatives, until he was bluntly
told to "eat his tea and be quiet. "
How often the unwilling auditors OF
a catalogue OF complaints from some
more venerable sufferer must have
wished that they could put stop to
it in the sumo way.-London Hospt

WITHOUT THE kINk.
Discovery that Has Produced . Sensation III
Boston Colored Society.

The colored women of Boston have
learned that it Is possible to take
the kink out OF their hair, and there is
quite a sensation over the discovery,
says the Globe. The rush to have
crisp locks straie htened is becoming
general, although but few OF those
who have successfully been smoothed
out are willing to admit that their
hair was ever otherwise than straight
and glossy.
The idea was introduced by young
colored woman from Virginia. She
herself has a glossy bang and black
hair as straight as that OF the late
Sitting Bull. She says her own hair
was formerly crisp and kinky. but
that an old Canadian woman told her
how TO make it straight, and this iu-
formation she is now imparting for a
consideration. The customer is told
first to wash her hair and come with
it we'll dried. She does SO, and tho
the operation begins.
A preparation that is amber colored
and OF the consistency of cream il
taken from large jar and rubbed
thoroughly into the hair, and. where
it was entirely lustrelcss before, it be
gins to assume II gloss This /
rubbed SO thoroughly into tho seal
that none of the hairs can fail to hav,
received IL portion. Then vigorou
brushing is resorted to, and the shor
hair begins to lengthen. II it were a
inch long before, it is now fully tw
inches long, and if before it had bee
done up in what old-fashioned south
ern people term ''plaits." it is nov
ready to be rolled into a loose twist
or II loose coil at the back. Th
operation takes about four hours an
is permanent in its effects. 1t give
the colored woman very lndian-lilS
appearance. and the few who wi
admit having been treated claim the
