line when Bob invited him hcme TO

gratitied at the turn affairs had taken

most solemn pledges never TO reveal
the true nature Of the proposal to
either Carissa or Mrs. Wilkins. And

John Ainsworth's marriage created
more than a nine days wonder but
once enrolled in the list OF married
men his extreme bashfulnoss wore off
and the big white house on the hill
with its pretty brown eyed mistress
became one of the most hospitable
places in town and | cannot recall
among my circle of friends single
instance where marriage has proven
SO free from failure as the one which
resulted from John Ainsworh's mis-
take.

OLD TIMES, OLD FRIENDS, OLD
LOVE.

EUGENE FIELD. IN THE CHICAGO DAILY NEWS
There are no days like good OH days.
The days when we were youthful
When human kind were pure OF mind
And speech and deedS were truthful;
Before a love Tor sortid gold
Became mans :uling passion.
And leture each dame and maid became
Slaves to the tyraut, fashion!
There are no girls like the good old girls,
Against the world Id stake en-!
As buxon and smart and clean OF heart
As the Lord knew how to make 'em!
They we're rich in spirit and common sense,
And piety all supportin';
They could bake and BREW and had taught
school, too.
And they made the likeIi. st courtin'?
There are no boys like the good old boys,
When we were boys together!
When the ground was sweet to the brown
bare feet
That dimpled the laughing heather:
When the peewee sung to the summer dawn;
OF the bee in the bIIowy clover;
OR down by the mill the whipporwil
Echoed his night song over.
There is no love like the good old love,
The love that mother gave us!
We are old, old men, yet we pine again
For that precious grace-Goi save us!
SO we dream and dream of the good old times
And our hearts grow tender, iOnder,
AS tho.e dear old dreams bring toothing
CLEANS
OF heaven away oil yonder.

better understand the stupenCous
amount of labor performed by those
tiny works, says the Lor0motIve ENgi-
nCer, let US make few comparisons.
Take, for instance, a locomotive
witt six foct driving wheels. Let its
wheels be run until they have given the
same number of revolution that watch
does in one year. and they will have
covered distance equal to twenty
eight complete circuits of the earth. All
this watch does without other atten-
ton than winding once every twenty

WONDERFUL MECHANISM OF THE
WATCH.

Open your watch and look at the
little wheels, springs, and screws, each
an indispensable part OF the whole Won
derful machine. Notice the busy little
balance wheel as it flies TO and fro un-
ceasinsly, day and night, year in and
wear out. This wonderful little ma
chine is the result OF hundreds Of years
of study and experiment. The watch
carried by the average man IS com
posed of oS pieces, and its manufac
ture embraces more than 2ooo distinct
and separate operations.
Some OF the smallest screws are so
minute that the unaided eye cannot
distinguish them from steel filing or
specs of dirt. Under powerful mag
nifying glass a perfect screw is revealed.
The slit in the head is 1000 OF an
inch wide. 1t takes 3oS,ooo of these
screws to weigh pound, and IS worth
s15S5. The hairspring is strip of
the finest steel, about 81 inches long,
and 1-1oo inch wide and 100000
inch thick. 1t is coiled up in spiral
form and finely tempered.
The process of tempering these
springs was long held as a secret by
the few fortunate ones possessing It,,
and even now is not generally known.
Their manufacture requires great skill
and care. The strip is guaged to
20 1000 of an inch, but no measuring
instrument has yet devised capable ot
fine enough guaging to determine
beforehand by the size OF the strip wha'
the strength of the finished spring vii
be. A 10000 part of an inch diff
ference in thickness of the strip make:
a difference in the running OF watct
of about SIX minutes per hour.
The value of these springs wher
finished and placed in watches i
enormous in proportion to the materia
from which they are made. A com
parlson will give good idea. A tol
OF steel made up into hairsprings whel
t in watches is worth more than II I.

Long before the microscope was invented
the doctrine that all life sprang from a pre-
viously existing life seemed firmly estab-
lished. With the microscope came the dis
covery that all forms of life were aggre-
gates of cells, and that without cells there
was no life. Later came Virchow's gener-
alization that each cell sprang from a pre-
viously existing cell. This Ia the present
ultima thule Of science. In the meantime
outlying questions without number had
been studied and answered.
The theory Of evolution had itself been
evolved and elaborated. The investigation
OF %protoplasm or coll substance as the
physical basis of life had been gone over,
and its character, chemical and physical,
investigated. The numerous one celled ami.
mails and plants had been studied closely
as forming the best basis for the ultimate
discovery of the cause which it vas recog'
nized was the same which governed life
whether in the lowly fungus or the highly
organized man.-Baltimore Sun.

GREsHAM's APPOINTMENT.
Alleged Democratic Anger at the
National Capital.


New YORK, Feb. 1.-THE Washing
ton correspondent of the Herald says:
The Democrats are angry. To say that
they are disappointed in the selections
made by President-elect Cleveland for
his cabinet does not express their feel
ings. Most of them are doing very lit
tie talking except among themselves,
and their private opinions are such in
many instances as would not bear pub
lication. A number of members of con-
gress this afternoon expressed dissatis-
faction with the reported selections for
the next cabinet. The choice which
annoys them most is that of Judge
Gresham. They all say they have &he
greatest admiration anG respect
for Judge Gresham personally,
and there Was not one member
of either house who would not
admit that Judge Gresham would make
a good secretary of state: but they ut
tered bitter GenunciatlonS OF Mr.. Cleve-
land for selecting man for his premier
who, only short time ago, went to the
trouble of writing out an interview de-
claring he was Republican and only
voted with the Democrats on the tariff
issue. The feeling against Judge Gresh
am is so pronounced as to indicate that
strong protest will be made to the
president-elect within the coming week.
l am told there is a movement on foot
looking to combined attack upon Mr.
Cleveland by the Democrats IN congress
to urge upon him the adviSability of re-
considering his invitation to Judge
Gresham to enter the cabinet. Ii what
hear be true, a protest will be made
at an early day.

The Instrument in Use at St.

h, Special to the Globe.
: ST. CLOUD, Mimi, Feb. 1.-THE spe-
cial committee of the legislature ap-
pointed to investigate the charges of
cruel treatment OF prisoners in the re-
formatory spent all day at that institu-
ton examining witnesses. Supt. Myers
made deposition, in which he stated
! that six prisoners had been strapped or
| fogged since the reformatory was es-
! blisled and detailed the history of each
| case.
The strap with which the whipping
was done was shown. 1t is two inches
broad and twenty-five inches long at
tached to short wooden handle,
soak r. III water and made soft before
uSiu.@ The edges are rounded SO as
not to break the skin. The boys are
stripped, handcutfed, and the strap adj
ministered. Every case of corporal
punishment is administered IN the cor
ridor of the solitary. The educational
facilities afforded the boys were eX-
planned, also the system of marks, con-
dltion of the solitary, general treatment
OF prisoners. etc. Supt. Myers said the
prisoners were treated human2ly in
every respect.
The committee then went into eXecu
tive session and questioned the prison
er5 who had been whipped. also half a
dozen others who had hal difficulties
with the officers. Dee Norton. the
principal keeper, testified to knock
ing man down who threatened
to assault him. William TAFT,
the storekeeper, admitted calling man
bad names, for which he had been
reprimanded by the superintendent.
Judge Charles Keith and III. S. Oris-
void, of the board OF managers. testi-
fed that the board had approved in
writing of the corporal punishment in
flicted by Supt. Myers. Chairman
Cairns asked under what warrant of
law corporal punishment was counte-
nanced by the board. Mr.. Grswold
said that the law gave the superinten-
dent power to enforce discipline in the
Institution. and. though they regretted
the fact, it could only be enforce d, in
their Judgment, by corporal punish
ment in certain cases.
