ABOUT WATCHES.
What the State Sentinel Can Do for
You and Where the Reader
Can Save Money.

Everybody knows that there is a So
called watch trust for the purpose Of keep
ing up prices, also to keep newspapers
from handling them.
THE SENTINEL, however, has been able
to get ahead of the trust. and is enabled
to furnish fine filled gold watches at whole
sale prices.
A filed case for all practical purposes IL
just as good as a solid gold watch. It will
wear lifetime, and in case of it's being
stolen the loss is not so great

An ANIMATED Storage reservoir.

The Australian lamprey has its prin-
cipal habitat in the Murray river, and
consequently in the dry seasons it is apt
to be imbedded beneath the hardened
clay, where no water is. As the stream
recedes, the animal fills its pouch and
disappears into the soft mud below,
there to remain until the drought has
passed away, subsisting on the moisture
6hich it has learned to store in special
lied receptacle at the side of the head.
As matter of fact, tine fish has mas
tered the difficult question of water stor-
age ON its own account before the race
of homo sapiens has been able to solve
the same problem in the island conti-
nent.
1t is an interesting question whether
this Australian lamprey is not linger-
ing example of the fish of Miocene ages,
and as such may be considered as an an
cestral type of European lampreys. A
sea lamprey that l examined alive,
caught in the salmon nets of the tidal
estuary, had a dintinct tendency to
swell at either side of the head, as if the
pouch might be forthcoming u time of
actual necessity. If the Australian type
is not the absolute ancestor of the British
genera, it is at least reasonable to sup
pose that it is an older form, and that
the divergent genera and species have
descended along different lines in the
great life struggle. That the pouch of
the antipodean lamprey is intended for
the storage of water is fact that can
hardly be doubted by any one who has
seen the species amid its peculiar sur
roundings.-Cornhill Magazine.

THE Begats."

The late Mr.. Conington, professor
Of Latin in the University of Oxford,
was noted for his prodigious memory.
At a very early age it began to show it
self. When he was child of four or
Ghereabouts he was sleeping one night in
the same room with a relative, when, at
the dead of night, his voice was to be
heard crying out in the darkness from
his little cot in the corner:
"Uncle! Uncle! l know the Begats.
Uncle-The VS.? Go to sleep, my
boy, you are dreaming.
Child know the Begats. Listen!
And he began: Abraham begat Isaac
and Isaac begat Jacob and Jacob begat
JUDAH" and so on to the end, some
forty-two generations, without a mis-
take-London Tit-Bits.

Savage Legends.

The savage islanders of the south
Pacific believe that the world is a cocoa
nut shell of enormous dimensions, at
the top of which is a single aperture
communicating with the upper air,
where human beings dwell. At the
very bottom of this imaginary shell is a
stem gradually tapering to point which
represents the beginning of all things
This point is spirit or demon without
human form, whose name is, ''Root of
All Existence" By him the entire
fabric of creation is sustained.
In the interior of the cocoanut shell,
at its very bottom, lives female demon.
So narrow is the space into which she is
crowded that she is obliged to sit for
ever with knee and chin touching Her
name is 1.-The Very Beginning" and
from her are sprung numerous spirits.
They inhabit five different floors, into
which the great cocoanut is divided.
From certain of these spirits mankind
is descended. The islanders, regarding
themselves as the only real men and
women, were formerly accustomed to
regard strangers as evil spirits in the
guise of humanity, whom they killed
when they could, offering them as sacrl-
ices.-Exchange

Oiling a Highwayman.

There used to be-and may be yet
on the Las Cruces division of the Santa
Fe railway an engineer known as Big
Jack Long" One night Jack was alone
at his engine, oiling up the machine,
while the rest of his crew, like the pas
sengers, were at supper in the dingy
eating house. The train was long one,
and the engine was well away from the
little cluster of buildings. Suddenly
Throw up your hands!" was growled
at him, and Jack found himself looking
into gun in the hands of hard look
ing citizen.
The fellow demanded money, and
Jack began to argue, protesting that he
had but dollar in his pockets, and that
to take that were a cruelty, since it was
meant to pay for his supper. Yes, the
marauder was determined to have the
sack, even ii it had but single dollar
During the discussion Jack slipped his
hand from bulb to nozzle of the long
machinist's oiler and edged around the
head of the locomotive, finally backing
across the track, closely followed by the
temporizing holder up.
When the man was SO well into the
glare of the headlight as to guide Jacks
address, this worthy promptly laid over
his head with the heavy oiler for a
bludgeon, and when the victims yells
had drawn forth the supping contin-
gent, Jack had beaten his assailant al
most senseless and stood, weapon in
hand, looking down at him and saying
grimly, "Well! l guess I've got you so
well oiled up that you won't run hot
again for one whiler'-San Francisco

cable cars fumed the other day when
the gripman stopped the car to wait for
the passing of funeral. 1t took ten
minutes for the last carriage to roll by.
for it was an unusually long procession.
As they slowly rolled past, two of those
in the car gave vent to feelings in some
such manner as this: did you ever see
such foolishness?' mo, not foolishness,
but superstition!" do you think SOP
"Pshaw, can't you see by that gripman's
face that he is superstitious? What else
can you expect from him?" He does
