An old and Historic watch.

81 repaired watch when was work
ing in PAMELA, N. Y, said watch
maker now working in a Broadway
store, (which, although it was more
than $50 years old, had been previously
repaired but three times-once in 1895,
again in 1881 and then in 1842.
1.-The watch has an interesting his
tory. It is now the property Of David
Minthorn, who has an authentic record
of 1t. It was made by Thomas Linford
Of London in 1926, and in time came
into the possession of George III, who
presented it to Sir William johnson,
when he left England to take charge of
affairs in the colony Of New York. Sir
William presented it to the famous In
dian chief Joseph Brant, whose sister
was Sir William S mistress.
I'm giving the watch to Brant Sir
William remarked that it was surely
worth 40 rebel scalps. When Brant
had his headquarters in the Sohoharie
valley, the watch was taken from him
with other booty by Evart Van Epps of
Fultonville, who was a paymaster in
the American army Van Epps was aft
erward taken prisoner by Brant, who
recovered the watch.
1.-The grandfather of the present own
er of the watch became a warm friend
Of Brant's in Canada after the war; and
Brant made him present Of the ancient
timepicee. 1t has been in the family
ever since and has always kept good
time. New York Sun.

His Certificate.

Public men are often at their wits
end to avoid people who seek their in
fiuence to carry out new enterprises or
to further their personal interests. A
prominent politician in an evil hour
bought some corn plasters of an agent
who was selling them from door to
door, He was seated one day III his
study preparing for debate when shy,
cadaverous man was shown in. Think
ing the stranger might be a constituent,
the politician received him with his
most genial air.
Good morning, sir. Icalled to see if
could get your certificate for them
corn plasters you bought of my agent
the other day.
''Why, sir, I do not understand You.
Merely certificate for the benefits
derived from my corn plasters. "
"Oh-ah--yes. understand Ger
tainly, certainly" And the statesman
wrote:
ITO whom it may concern: This is
to certify that if live long enough I
shall be thousand years old next July.
For IT'S years, more or less, / have been
an invalid, unable to move except by q
lever The day before yesterday bought
a box of Barker's corn plasters. Since
then / can run 90 miles an hour Any
man who believes this and wishes fur
ther recommendations will gladly be
supplied if this corn doctor lives to get
out of my Office. 2"
The man of corn plasters took it in
silently and departed. = Harrison's

Besides the prim, straight brimmed,
plainly trimmed sailor hat which has
nothing the least fancy about 1t but its
name-the hat which so many women,
matrons included, wear so comfortably
and becomingly when they would per
haps look and feel absurd in most other
shapes-is the neat little Duse turban,
model not unlike modified English
walking hat, with low round crown
and a pretty rolling brim that is unlike
the English walking hat proper, in that
the Duse brim does not roll up close to
the crown, but broadens more on each
SIDE making it particularly becoming
to slender faces. A veil fastens over 1t
gracefully and comfortably, and it is
Just the shape to accompany tailor cos
tune for shopping and walking, and for
travelling it is most admirable. The
shape described is easily recognized, but
different milliners give it different
name. 1t was, however, called original
ly after the actress. -Milliner.

Several London newspapers have been
entertaining their readers during the
Whitsun holidays by a lively oontrover-
sy over the respective size and beauty
of the feet of English and American
women. Some editors, in the face of
overwhelming evidence, confess that
English feet are out of running in such
controversy and console themselves
by asserting that the feet Of Englishmen
are far more shapely than those of their
American brothers. There have been
many indignant protests against even
this admission The shoe dealers, when
assured that they may speak incog., re-
gretfully admit that they are unable
to fit the trim American foot with amy
shoe ready made for the fat and fiat
feet of English women

ga photograph that fatters will soon
be thing of the past, said a photog-
rapher the other day. st will be i'm
possible to make our faces appear to the
most advantage by a clever pose, for
the latest innovation in photography,
the multiphotograph, which is destined
to become the Photographic portrait Of
the future, will reveal all our defects
and crudities. The great study which
young women give their faces, to find
out in which position-side three-quar
ter or full face-they look the best,
will all be put to naught, for the multi
photograph will take them in all these
positions and others as well.
1.-THE process makes it possible to OBJ
tain a perfect likeness of a person, as
one is able to see the face and head in
all possible positions and can thus get
all the characteristics This new effect
is obtained by mirrors being placed at
certain angles. When a person stands
in front of the glasses, his likeness is
reflected from to IL times, according
to the arrangement Of the mirrors, each
image being in a different position, so
that the same effect is obtained that
would be secured if you were to walk
around person, viewing him from all
sides and points.
1.-THE operator photographs the sub
ject and the reflections in the mirrors.
The result is the multiphotograph. /
think it is destined to become the photo
graph of the future, as it is the only
thing that will give you likeness of
person as seen from all sides. Art in
this case must succumb to nature, and
the instruction that is too frequently
given the photographer, Make me as
pretty as you can, will have to be done
away with. '-Pittsburg Dispatch.

In the campaign of 1892 some Of the
Democrats openly declared in accord
ance with their platform that free trade
must follow the ascendancy of the party
in power, while on the other hand GER
tain Democrats gave assurance that pro-
lection was needed and could not be
dispensed with, so the people need not
fear free trade in case of the aseendancy
of the party III power. 1t would be I'M
kind for any one to raise the question as
to where the Democratic party stands
today on the tariff. However, we need
not hesitate to give publicity to some Of
the public utterances of representative
Democrats as they are reported in pub
lie prints from time to time. The fol-
lowing may give the reader fair idea
of party unity on this question and how
it is obtained:

THE AURORA BoREALls.
Ouriosities of the Singular Red Lights In
the Northern Skies.

TIC AfoAAAA foAAACSs
The ancients viewed the aurora bore
ais with superstitious awe, looking
upon it as an omen of direful disaster
1t is not unusual for descriptions of old
time battles to mention the fact that
the curious red northern lights gave
us warning that something awful was
about to happen - In the annals Of
Clan Mach Noise is to be found an ac-
count of a purple aurora, which lighted
up the northern skies in the year 668
a. D. ON the night preceding the dread
full battle fought by the Irish tribes Of
Leinster and Munster, and it is not nee
essary to mention the fact that the peo-
pie took it as an omen Of the great
slaughter which soon followed
In the year 1859 the people of Amer
lea witnessed some Of the grandest dis
plays of the auroral light that have ever
been known in the history of the world.
During the month of September, that
year, particularly upon the nights of the
I'd, Sd and goth, brilliant auroras were
reported from nearly every point on the
American continent Superstitious peo-
pie like those of Ireland hundreds of
years ago believe until this day that the
peculiar appearance Of the sky upon the
nights mentioned was presage of the
great conflict which was so soon to be
waged between the north and south.
The cause Of the aurora has long been
matter of speculation. M. de la Rive,
a Genoese scientist, who has long and
faithfully labored for the enlightenment
of humanity upon this subject, made an
interesting experiment in Finland in
the year 1882 and one which goes a long
way toward proving that "fitful aurora
is phenomenon of electrical character.
The experiment is best described in
the language of the experimenter him
self: 1--WE surrounded the peak of
mountain with copper wire, pointed at
intervals with tin nibs. We next heavi-
ly charged the wire with electricity, and
afterward nearly every night during
our stay had the pleasure of seeing yell
lowish white light dance from nib to
nib, in which the spectrosoope analysis
exhibited the greenish yellow rays so
characteristic Of the aurora borealis At
Pietarintumturi we We're especially IA
vored in making our experiment, hay
ing on two different occasions caused
an auroral arch to appear as if hanging
in the air directly over our wires and
about 100 rods above them - st.

AN EXPERIMENT IN THIEvERY.
The Greasers Did Not Calculate ON the
Plumber Being So Heavy.

Plumber Being So Heavy.
At the time Geronimo was massa-
creing people for amusement and stir
ring things up generally along the Dor
der of old Mexico and the states l was
with a party of American engineers who
were constructing a branch of the Mex
lean Central railroad not far from the
border and directly in old Geronimo's
territory.
Down there the Indians and the poor
er class of Mexicans are inveterate
thieves and will steal anything they
can manage to carry away without be-
ing detected. They viii steal thing
totally regardless Of whether it is of any
earthly use to them or not
Our party had missed quantity of
tools, supplies of railroad iron, ties,
etc, and could not imagine how the
thieves could utilize the material unless
they were building little railroad for
their owR amusement. Night after
night we placed guards to watch for
them, but it seemed they always knew
when the guards were ON the lookout
and refused to attempt foray on those
nights. SO we concluded that the Gull
prits ware members of the camp and
knew all that was going on. After ar
irving at that conclusion we made 1t a
practice to collect all portable property
into convenient groups and guard 1t
carefully.
In the outfit we had a large steam
pile driver, heavy piece of machinery
difficult to transport even under the
most favorable circumstances-which
we did notdeem necessary TO guard, never
for a moment thinking the thieves
would attempt to make away with it.
But. as subsequent events showed, we
had moderated Mexican aoquisitive-
ness.
1t may be well to explain that pile
driver is sort of derrick varying in
height from so to rs feet. 1t weighs
several tons and is held in an upright
position by strong guy TOPICS. This pile
driver was located in advance of the
camps and probably quarter of mile
from the nearest.
One bright moonlight night the camp
was aroused by an unearthly noise and
heavy crash, the disturbance seeming
to come from the direction of our pile
driver. We Immediately surmised some
devilment, knowing, Us we did, that the
"greasers' were none too friendly to
''los gringos as they called the Ameri-
cans. Four of us hastily arose, buckled
on our revolvers, and with a winchester
apiece moved ON the enemy. Whom we

CONCERNING IMMIGRATION.

Are Cared For.

1t Should BE Stopped Until Our Unemployed
Are Cared For.
We would go still further in proteo-
ton if we had our way. We would pro-
teot laborers now in this country by
stopping immigration until such time
as every man now in America was en-
ployed and at good wages In 1891
$50, 600 immigrants landed upon our
shores. OF these, 247, 600 were without
occupations Only 8, 900 belonged to
the professional classes, 154, 900 to
skilled labor, leaving 400, 900 to go in
to the ordinary channels of labor.
For the year 1892 there was an in
crease of immigration, the total reach
ing 623, 600. Those without occups-
lions reached the enormous total Of
307, 600 In 1898, even after the panic
had already commenced in our country
and hard times were everywhere APP
parent, SOP, 900 immigrants were added
to the then unemployed thousands Of
our own people OF these, $50, 900
were without occupations and 450, 900
belonged to ordinary labor.
We understand all that has been said
about this being the land Of the free,
ETC., but we think our duty is first to
provide for all laborers now here before
others should be allowed to land This
would then show that protection was
operative as we'll against the foreign
labor as against the products of foreign
labor, giving to our own people that first
best right claimed by all citizens, the
right of employment.

A Question of Medical Ethics.

A question of medical ethics is raised
in The Woman's Medical Journal Of
Cleveland by DR.. Anita Newcomb Nc
Gee. 1t is a well established principle
in the American Medical association
that "all practitioners of medicine, their
wives and their children, while under
the paternal care, are entitled to the
gratuitous services of any one or more
Of the faculty residing near them whose
assistance may be desired. The ques-
ton is whether women physicians bene-
fit by the rule or whether it is ignored
when the relative Of a woman physician
requires treatment by medical man.
Instances have come to DR.. McGee's
knowledge in Washington where bills
were sent to women physicians and
paid, and she is Of the opinion that If
this is a common experience it may be
considered wise to maintain the princi-
pie of sexual equality i'll the profession
by asking medical associations for an
Interpretation of this rule. !"
