An American Custom.

OF course il you walk on Chestnut street
and take notice as you 60 along-all PEG
Pile should have observing eyes-you will
see men stopping to compare their watches
with the chronometers in the jewellers
windows. And If you have travelled abroad
! venture to say you never saw foreigner
80 comparing the time of his watch.
The fact is this is a custom peculiarly
American We place more value on time
here-our minutes are precious, we are so
busy, SO eager in the race for wealth.
time Is indeed money with us
A friend Of mine who goes abroad every
season was chatting about this matter to
me and said
do you know that the Americans buy
the most expensive watchess l was talk
ing to one of the most celebrated watch
makers in all Europe on this very subject
and was surprised to hear him say that
his best watches-the most expensive
make, repeaters and the like-were mostly
sold In the American market. He said
too, that foreigners do not care for such
correct time as the Americans. If their
watches are a few minutes too fast or too
slow, 1t does not concern them.
II was myself impressed with the truth
of these remarks by the matchmaker
when, few days afterward, was in a
railroad station In Paris and saw two pub
lie clocks four minutes apart Another
time l set my watch by one public clock
In London and the next day found by an
other public clock in the same oity, only a
dozen blocks away that my watch was
six minutes slow by that clocki Yes, you
may be sure that the Americans are the
only nation who care for the exact time

Quinine.

People In using quinine should be
careful that they get good grade of the
article or that they are not being fooled
altogether. In many cases an inferior
product of the cinchona bark, from which
quinine is made, is substituted for the real
article. 1t is little better than the Gin
ohona bark and has not nearly third of
the virtue of quinine. This Is called Gin
chonidia and can be bought for from Q to
cents an ounce just little more than
the bark itself. 1t is so good an imitation
that the customer is unable to tell the
difference except that the results will not
be the same. People should be careful to
get the pure drug, and the only guarantee
they can have is the reputation of the man
who sells 1t to misunderstanding Dispatch
