waltham watch No. 5000, 900.

The American Waltham Watch
Co. has just completed, ready for
delivery, watch movement No. g.
100000. The event marks an epoch
in the history of this concern wor-
thy of more than passing notice.
The timepiece is the highest-grade
nickle movement made by the COM
pany, new thin model, Is size,
4-plate, open face, and has all tho
latest improvements, including the
Church patent pendant settings and
stem-winding device and Church's
patent micrometric regulator and
Logan's patent Breguet hairspring.
The train-wheels are gold, beauti-
fully polished, and the jewels are
the finest red ruby in raised gold
settings. The most striking feature
is the ornamentation Of the plate
by one of the company's best dam
askeeners, and this work is un-
doubtedly the most beautiful and
elaborate that ever was put on a
watch.
The growth of the business of the
American company since it COM
menced the manufacture of watches
is we'll marked by the following
figures: Watch No. l ,OOO,O 900 was
completed in 1877, twenty years
after Treasurer Royal E. Robbins
purchased the plant. Watch No.
100000 was finished in 1882, and
the event was commemorated by
the first foremen's supper. Watch
No. 100000 was delivered in 1886,
and was presented to the Foremen's
Association by the company, and
it has since been carried by one Of
the foremen, being drawn by lot at
the annual supper. Watch No. A.
100000 was completed in 1889.
Watch No. 100000 was made for
Treasurer Robbins and was finished
in 1891. From the above it will be
seen that it took 20 years to make
the first million watches, 5 years for
the second, 4 years for the third, 3
years for the fourth, 2 years for the
fifth and about 18 months for the
sixth. In completing this watch,
the American company has made
one million more watches than any
concern in the world.
In such vast establishment
there is constantly in course of con-
struction several hundred thousand
watches, and a few days since the
movement bearing the significant
figures &C, 500. 600" was commenced.

Marvels Of Instinct.

Did you ever stop to consider the
marvels of instinct as exhibited in
insects, birds and animals? Take
the solitary wasp, the mud -dauber,
if you please as an illustration of
instructive sense which seems to
me to be equally as desirable as
mind and reason. In providing for
the maggot or worm that is to be
hatched from her egg, this lowly
insect brings soft spiders and grubs,
a species Of food which she has
never tasted since she became .
wasp, and deposits them directly
over the eggs from which the chill
dren she is doomed to never seq
will finally issue. What inward
sense of motherly duty tells this
creature that her soon-to-be mother
less children will need meatfood
during the time they are preparing
for their first transformation? Yet
the life history of every species of
insect shows wonderful exhibitions
of instinct or marvellous foresight.
The butterfly lays her eggs on the
plants best calculated to furnish
food for the grub that will hatch
from them; the 17-year locust,
Cicada septemdecem, lays its eggs
in holes bored in the ends Of limbs,
the boring always, or nearly always,
being done in such manner as to
cause the limb to break off with
the first wind, thus bringing the
insect into immediate contact with
the earth, his future home, as soon
as he is hatched. The young chicken
is another good illustration of the
marvels of instinct. In releasing
himself from the shell be does not
do 80 by bursting his prison walls
asunder, as many persons imagine !;
on the contrary he cuts his way
out by regular series of strokes.
For this cutting operation the bird
has an instrument specially pro-
vided, an instrument for which
there is no earthly use-a sharp,
hard, toothlike horn on the top of
the upper mandible. This cutter,
having served its purpose, wholly
disappears within a few days. Isn't
it wonderful how a bird in an egg
she'll, one that has never breathed
the breath of life in the true sense
of the word, understands the use OF
an instrument that will soon be-
come useless to it, and how that
marvellous faculty called instinct
directs the imprisoned creature how
and were to cut in order to most
easily and effectively free ITSELF

A Poets Prescription.

A poor woman, understanding
that Dr.. Goldsmith was a physician,
and hearing of his great humanity,
solicited him by letter to send her
something for her husband, who
had lost his appetite and was re-
duced to a most melancholy state.
The good-natured poet waited on
her instantly and, after some dis
course with his patient, found him
sinking with sickness and poverty.
The doctor told the honest pair that
they should hear from him in an
hour, when be would send them
some pills which he believed would
prove efficacious.
He Immediately went home and
put ten guineas into a chip box,
with the following label: "These
must be used as necessities require ;
be patient and of good heart" He
sent his servant with this prescrip-
ton to the comfortless mourner,
who found it contained a remedy
superior to anything Galen or his
disciples could ever administer.
Precisely the same story is told
of Thackeray, who left on the man
telpiece of an INDECENT and invalid
friend little round box full of
sovereigns, with the inscription !:
"These pills are to be taken when
required" It was a plagiarism from
Goldsmith, perhaps, but you can
not be wrong if you initiate good
things. We should be never tired
of plagiarizing from the good Sa-
maritan.
Another instance of q similar
kind is recalled when a doctor, who
had attended the patient and who
was peculiarly gruff and ill-tem-
pered man, was congratulating HIM
self upon the skill he had used in
pulling the sufferer through his
illness.
mo, DOCTOR" " said the old fellow,
/" 'twan't you, and 'twan't your pills
or your potions as have cured me !;

have to thank for that. "-Sala's
