Everyone should have a
time-keeper, if it is only a
cheap one, not trash, but a
good cheap one. We have
them at all prices, and as COM
plete an assortment as you
would care to look at. Our
buying in such large quanti-
ties enables us to get a very
low figure on them. We
handle nothing but the very
best movements, such as the
Howard, G. NJ. Weeler,
Bartolet, Elgin, Waltham,
Hampden, and all other good
ones. We have all kinds of
cases from the OF silver up
to the very best solid gold, and
a very handsome line of filled
cases, such as the Keystone,
James Boss, American and
many others. This makes a
nice watch guaranteed twenty
years and a perfect time
keeper. If you need one we
will help you out in paying
for it weekly and you will
soon have it paid for. You
won't miss the money, while
you have the benefit of the
correct time.

CHEAP HOUSES.

There was public meeting of society
In Philadelphia last night having for its
purpose the building Of tenements for
the poor IN the slums. Herbert Welsh is
the president Of the society called the
Model Dwellings Association, whose
object is obvious
DR.. Bisbee of the Universalist Church
was the frst speaker. He spoke Of the
elevating influence Of the true home, and
emphasized the fact that the truest
charity is not the giving of money, but
the helping Of individuals to legitimate
business success. The prob EN- Of the
lums will find it's solution not in pro
viding free homes for poverty stricken
people, but in making It possible for
them to obtain decent accommodate ms
at rates commensurate with their slender
means.
Major Veale Of the Board of Health,
spoke Of the condition Of the slums and
urged that while the Model Dwellings
Association was upon good work, that
was not the only direction in which help
is needed AS a comprehensive plan in
addition he advised that efforts should
be made to have all small streets put
officially upon the city plan in order
that sewer and street cleaning forces
may be demanded and provided, and
that asphaltum paving, easily washed,
should be substituted for the present
paving.
These are practical plans for great
works Of inestimable benefit to the
human race In these two objects alone,
there will be work for all the charitable
aud temperance societies forever.
The poor we have always. They live
in mean, unwholesome houses in narrow,
dirty streets-mutually debasing to each
other, plague spot to the community
and menace to society. They pay q
higher rate Of rental for those vice and
death breeding tenements than the rich
pay for the best houses that can be
leased. They are at the mercy Of land.
lords who are harsh and cruel.
What better work can the practical
Christian have than this work Of promot
ing health and cleanliness and godli
ness.
There is profit, too, in these cheap and
clean dwellings Even to the speculatoI
