We have seen number of watch
chains ornamented with a pretty charm
in the shape of a watch case opener,
which obviates the use of knife or
fingernail to open the watch. They are
sent free on request by the Keystone
Watch Case Company, of Philadelphia,
Pa. Your jewcler here may have one
for you; if not, send to Philadelphia.
The Keystone Watch Case Company is
the largest concern of its kind in the
world. Its capacity is $500 watch cases
per day. 1t manufactures every descrip-
ton of case, but its great specially is
that most popular of all watch cases,
the Jas. Boss gold filled. These are
equal IN beauty and wear to solid gold
while they cost only about one-half
rs much Boss and other Keystone
cases are the only cases that have the
famous Non-pull-out bow or ring,
which saves the watch from theft and
accident. The Keystone Company does
not retail, but our local jewellers handle
the cases and swear by the thief-proot
qualities of the ring.

Much OF the beauty of the stars de-
Ponds upon their scintillation. The
mIltitudinous flashing of their tiny
rays gives wonderful life and
brilliancy to winters night. The
great star Sirius excites the most
admiration when, near the horizon,
he coruscates with rainbow hues.
But the astronomer would be glad II
he could put a stop to the scintillat.
ing of the stars. That unsteadiness
of their light is one of the chief OBJ
stacles he has to overcome in study.
ing them with the telescope.
Sclntillation has generally been re-.
garded as due only to slight disturb.
ances in the atmosphere But as re-
cent observations have shown that
red stars scintillate less than white
ones, it has been suggested that the
causes of some of the essential differ
ences in the scintillations of differ
ent stars may be in the stars them
selves. There is no doubt, however,
that the main cause oil scintillation
depends upon the condition of the
air.
Most people suppose that when the
stars appear to lose their liveliness Of
light, and shine without twinkling as
minute bright points in the sky, fair
weather is in prospect. Studies
lately made in France and Switzer-
land seems to contradict this popular
belief. 1t has been found there that
when the stars are feeble in their
scintillations foul weather is at hand.
The night before most violent storm
in France, for instance the stars hung
so quietly in the sky that they seemed
to have entirely loss the.r scintillat-
ing power.
This is said to be only one instance
among many which show that an I'M
usual steadiness in the light of the
stars precedes the appearance OF
storms.

More Meat, More Work.

1t is many years since Messrs.
Manly 4 Wilson got the French
hands in their Clarendon foundry to
eat as much meat as their English
hands, and found, as they had hoped,
that as soon as the better diet had
time to tell, they did nearly as much
work as the English, too. lrishmen
have long been notoriously poor work
men in their own country. Mr.. Fox,
a manufacturer in Coke and Man
chester, informed the Trades Union
Commission that though he pail 20
per cent. lower wages in his Cork
factory than in his Manchester one,
the work done cost him exactly the
same in both. But the Irishman in
England and America, working under
the higher wages prevailing there, be-
comes as good workman as any in
the country. aiesrc
Sir ]. Lowuhian Bell mentions that
many young Irishmen come oyer to
the Cleveland Iron Works, and though
they are not worth much at first
that las SOON as their improved style
of living permits it," they become
equal to any workmen in Cleveland,
both for ability and will to work. 1t
takes time for the physical process OF
transmutation even in the case of in
dividuals, but for Il nation this is a
long economic difficulty to surmount
A whole nation cannot raise its wages
at once, because the wages it can az.
ford to pay to-day are fixed and
limited by the productive capacity OF
to-day. Wages and productive
capacity push each other on. and the
people thai had the start in time is
not easily caught ii it manages wisely.

Amateur photographers do not
thrive in Russia. The fascinating
pursuit is beset with many ditficulI
ties. In the first place, it is neces4
sary to communicate with the police
and obtain a license. This having,
after considerable delay been granted,
it is advisable for one to be very care
full where he or she is seen photo.

ing dispatched on free excursion to
Siberia, where return tickets are not
supplied. OF every picture made u
copy must be sent to the police au-
thorities ana another must be fled
by the photographer for reference.
The police have also the right at any
time OF the day or night to enter
your dark room and examine every
thing therein, and to search all OF
your Photographic paraphernalia.
Nor is this all the unfortunate anna

they are not manufactured ia Rustia

Graceful FIattery.

The Tuileries garden was made for
Louis XIV. according to the plans Of
the famous French landscape gar
dener, LIE Notre. Que day the King
expressed dissatisfaction with one OF
the main avenues of the garden.
The next morning he was amazed to
find the avenue just as he wanted it.
The skilful and energetic gardener
had changed the direction and plan
of the avenue during the night.
A much more elaborate and ingen-
ious tribute to the Kings taste was
paid by the Duke D'Antin, superin-
tendent of the royal buildings. Louis
once remarked impatiently that he
hoped that some time a forest which
he had always disliked, because ID
INSTRUCTED one of his favorite views,
would be cut down.
No one knew better than the Duke
D'Antin how to flatter the King On
this occas on he combined tact and
skill. Unknown TO the King he had
the trunks of all the trees in the OBJ.
jectionable piece of forest sawed
through near the ground in such
way that they still stood, though
slight pull would bring them down.
He removed every evidence of the
work, and fastened ropes to the tops
of the trees, and concealed more
than ] 200 men in the forest to man
age the ropes at signal from him.
The Duke knew on what day the
King would walk in the wood, and
planned his work accordingly. The
King took his accustomed promenade.
and as usual, he expressed his senti.
ment about the hated forest.
"Your Majesty, the forest shall be
removed whenever you like" said
! D'Antin.
Indeed" said the King, s'then ]
wish that it might be done at once. !"
At that moment DAntin blew q
shrill blast from whistle, and to
the utter amazement of tthe King
and the royal party, the forest fell as
if by enchantment.
