SWISS WATCH SCHOOLS.
The Progress of the Student Through thi
 Grent Mnnufi.rttrie1.

The school the writer visited is the ex tensive ono at Gencva. Being provide, with tho requisite permission and escorted by all alumnus of the institution, hc wa shown every courtesy and afforded ever. opportunity to observe.
 Ono is first uslicfed into tho beginner room. To enter hoy must be at least 1 IIe will first bo introduced to q wood turn ing lathe and set nt turning out tool han dles He will be kept at this from eight days to seven weeks according to apti tude Then ho will be advanced to the work of filing and shaping screwdrivers and similar tools. These and all other tools which ho may atterward make will be his own. Being in course of time to some extent provided with tools, he will undertake making a largo wooden pat tern of . watch frame perhaps as large as dining plate. After he has learned just how the franc is to be shaped he is given ready cut one. of brass of tho ordinary size, and he begins drilling the holes for tho wheels and screws. All along the master stands over him and instructs him The circular pieces of brass which are put into his hands here he will goon with, and when tho watch is completed that, too will bo his own.
 He is then taught to mako other fine tools and to finish tho frame ready to re ceive the wheels.
 Then ho will leave the first room and pass up into one where ho is taught to 1t tho stem winding parts and to do other fine cutting and filing by hand, to make watches that will strike tho hour, min ute, etc., for which class of work the Swiss are famous One can readily con- ceivo how exceedingly minute nnd exact such workmanship must be- particularly on the minute snail-that is, the guide which permits and arrests the striking, so that in addition to the hour and the quarter the very minute shall be sounded. -Theodoro B.

Brooches. pantaloons and Trousers.

Breeches,,' in the strict meaning of that term, were worn by tho semicivilized men of the cast long ages before a single page of tho Now Testament was written, having been quite common among the Medes and Persians, tho Phrygians the Gauls and the Teutons. Brooches were very brief" articles of apparel, scarcely covering the hips in the majority of in stances and never reaching nearer than six inches of tho knee.
 "Pantaloons' were exaggerated forms of stockings reaching from the hips to tho ankles and as tight fitting as pair of knit drawers. They were usually of three different colors, black at tho hips, rcd from hip to knco and blue to the termina- tion at tho ankle. They came in vogue during the first half of the fifteenth ecu tury at Venice and were worn by the devo- tees of the patron saint, Pantaloon. Sucl; garments wero always called pantalini by tho Italians.
 Trousers, the only proper word to ex. press tho existing styles in pants, " fol- lowed closely after the knee breeches" of tho Revolutionary period, being first worn in England at Oxford and Cambridge in 1S12.-St. Louis Republic.

A Cbnuce for IObOG.

There is u fresh outcry of lack Of
men for the navy. The success of the
Minneapolis on her trial trip has called
attention to the fact that there are uoo
men enough in the navy to man the
new ships. The present limit of petty
officers and scamen is 1900, and there
nro 1900 apprentices upon the school
ships. Supposing half of these ap-
prentices to be qualified for service,
that would make 500 the total avail
able force. There is not a vessel In the
navy that now has her full compile
ment of men, while tho Minneapolis,
the Cincinnati and the Montgomery
are ready to be manned. The Mime
epolis requires 500 men, and the others
$50 each, so that there ought to be at
least 1880 men enlisted at once, but
there will be no money to pay them
before July, 1905, for Secretary Her
bert neglected to recommend this ap-
preparation In his last report, probably
thinking it could be postponed another
year.

THE yearly salary Of Ida Lewis, the

no light is cared for by any other en-
ploye along the coast as that of Lime
Rock is looked after by its woman

TIE United States raises more hogs

The last statistics placed the number
at 5O,3O1, ,592 for the United States, and
the total number for all North America
was 81, ,567, sG0 Europe came next, with
45,3G9, sos, South America raises only
1888, 800; Asia, $500; Africa, 3o3, ,sO3;
Australia, 1907, $40; Tahita and Moorca,
10000 This makes total of 100, 3Ga,-
cor hogs for the whole world. In the
United States, Iowa heads the list with
about 100000, and then follows Mis-
souri, and Illinois, with 5,5oo,oOO each
And the majority of these hogs have to
be ''ringed." So the hog-ring business,
especially in the west, has kept pace
with the increase of the number of
hogs raised.

NORTHUMBERLAND, Pa, at the confu-
ence Of the Susquehannas north and
west branches, has u worldwide fame
among chemists as the former resi-
dence and burial place Of Dr. Joseph
Priestly, the discoverer of oxygen gas
and perhaps principal founder of mod
ern chemistry. When he came from
England to America, about 1904, the
chair Of chemistry was offered him by
the University Of Pennsylvania, but he
declined it, saying that he wished to
live In the country, and soon afterward
settled in Northumberland. He died
there ten years later. His house was
still standing when the centennial Of
chemistry was celebrated at Northum-
berland In 1874.

that the aspen quivers with shame
