WATCHES.
Some Facts Concerning the styles-The
Great Number of Watches Used.

Some Facts Concerning inc otyIeb-Aho
Great Number of Watches Used.
In this country almost everybody car
iies watch. Probably nine-tenths OF
the men and great numbers OF women
and many young people carry watches
In the best trade of the city many more
watches of gold are sold than of silver;
of all the watches sold throughout the
country about 20 per cent are OF gold.
The percentage of gold watches is in
Creasing.
The fashionable watch of the day Is
open faced. The sale of open faced
watches is increasing, especially in fine
watches, but it is increasing also in
watches of other grades Of fine gold
watches sold in the city probably two
thirds are now made open faced. Or all
the watches sold in the United States,
gold and silver, probably from quarter
to third are now made open faced.
The modern watch has for one Of its
characteristics thinness. A mans watch,
which is now made more especially to
wear with evening dress and is all the
time growing in favor, is plain, thin,
open faced gold watch, which takes up
but little room in the pocket Perfect
in its simplicity, this watch is at the
same time of fine workmanship and
great beauty. 1t sells at 500. A gold
watch not so thin nor so finely finished,
but very handsome modern watch and
an excellent timekeeper, by the same
makers and bearing their name, can be
bought in open face, the case of Is carat
gold, for sos; in double case for $40.
But gold watches and good watches,
too, can be bought for very much less
than these prices-in fact, there never
was time when watches generally were
made in such tasteful shapes, or wher
they were so good for the money or sc
cheap as now.
Taking all the grades together, the
American production of watches ii
about 4, 900 daily. The importation O
watches amounts to about the same
number. One might at first wonde,
what becomes Of all these watches. 4
great number are taken up annually b.
the new buyers coming into the marke
for the first time out of the constant ant
large increase in the population. Grea
as the percentage Of watch owners nov
is in this country, that also is increas
ing. Many immigrants buy watches a
soon as they get the money. Some mel
own more than one watch. Watche
wear out Or their owners lay them asid
for better watch Or for one of newe
style. Watches are lost and destroyed
and when one comes to take all thes
things into consideration twill be see.
that the great production of watche
may be in large measure easily account
ed for. New York Sun.

1t has been remarked by Mr.. Gosse
that Herrick "is alive as no poet before
or since to the picturesqueness of dress, !"
and the statement though sweeping, is
correct. He takes note Of each fold in
Julia's gown, he writes lines upon the
ribbon round her waist, he describes
the rustling of her walk and is in fine
as quick to perceive the beauty that lies
in dress as to comprehend the splendor
Of full blown rose.
Music, too, did not go without appre-
citation from him. 1t would have been
difficult to imagine Herrick dull to the
influence of music, although some of
our poets have been credited with in
ability to distinguish one tune from an
other. But on the other hand there are
many musical poets, Milton, Gray,
Browning and host of others. Speak
ing of Milton reminds us that Herrick
addresses one of his poems to Harry
Lawes, who was the subject of one Of
Milton sonnets. Lawes wrote the mu-
sic to "Comus" and received from the
poet the praise that he
First taught our English music how to span
Words with just note and accent, not to scan
With Midas ears committing short and long.
Both Herrick and Milton seem to
have been ON familiar terms with the
musician, as both address him in their
verse as Harry. Some of Herrick' S songs
were set to music by him, and on his
death Herrick wrote:
| Some have thee called Amphion; some Of us
Named thee Terpander or sweet Orpheus;
Some this, some that, but all in this agree
Music had both her birth and death in thee.
The difference between Milton s praise
and Herrick's is very marked. The
greater poets more considered eulogy
was well deserved and Discriminatory
bestowed. Herrick's is spoiled by its
extravaganza, Gentleman Magazine.
