finished and placed in watches, is
enormous in proportion to the materi-
al from which they are made. A
comparison will give good idea: A
ton of steel made up into hairsprings,
when in watches, is worth more than
123 times the value of the same weight
in pure gold. Hair-spring wire weighs
one-twentieth of a grain. to the inch.
One mile of wire weighs less than
half pound.
The balance gives five vibrations
every second, 300 every minute, 49,
600 every hour, $4,000 every day.,
157, ,680,000 every year. At each vi
bration it rotates about one and one
fourth times, which makes 197, ,100, 600
revolutions every year. In order that
we may better understand the stupen-
dous amount of labor performed by
these tiny works, let US make few
comparisons Take, for illustration, a
locomotive with 6-foot driving
wheels. Let its wheels be run until
they have given the same number of
revolutions that a watch does in one
year, and they will have covered a
distance equal to % complete circuits
of the earth. All this a watch does
without any other attention than
winding once every "a hours.-Jewel-
ers' Review.

SICK Room RULEs.-Give the room
which has the best means of ventila-
ton and the most sunshine to the In
valid.
Have dark green Holland shades at
the windows. Green tempers the glare
of the sun in way very soothing to
tired eyes.
Have big screen in the room, which
may be used either to shut out the
bright light when the patient wishes
to sleep, or to keep off draughts when
the windows are raised and lowered.
Danish creaking chairs from the
sick room. Nothing so CRATES upon
the patients nerves and 80 irritates
him as unnecessarily harsh sounds.
Don't whisper outside the door.
That is intensely aggravating, and con-
yersation with the doctor may be just
as we'll carried on outside the invalid's
hearing.
Keep the medicine bottles, glasses
and spoons out of sight of the patient.
Every sick room should be provided
with a small bottle cabinet, where
medicines may be kept. If this is out
of the question, couple of swinging
shelves curtained in silk may be used.
Don't ask the patient what he wants
to eat. Ask the doctor what he should
eat, and prepare it daintily, and in
small quantities, and serve it to him
arrayed as temptingly as possible.
Cover the tray with spotless linen
cloth, use the prettiest china and the
brightest silver and glass, and adorn
the tray with flower or two. Dain-
tiness is great appetizer.

The GATAHOULA HOG DOG.

In Cstahoula parish, La, the wild
hogs are said to be second only in the
matter of pugnacity and ferocity to
the roaring tiger of the jungles of
Bengal. The only way to capture
them is by a peculiar breed of dogs
known as the hog dog. In order to
get drove of these hogs into pen,
the Catahoula hog dog operates as
follows: Keeping always in mind the
direction of the pen or corral, the dog
goes into the woods and fushes a
drove of hogs. Then keeping him
self invariably in front Of the hogs,
barks forth challenge. The hogs
accept the gage of battle and make a
dash for the enemy, and the dog,
tucking his tail, if he is fortunate in
having one, which is seldom the case,
skedaddles toward the pen, regulating
his speed so as to have at all times
distance of about 80 yards. Should
the hogs halt their pursuits the dog
returns and renews his dare, and
again he is charged and again he
slopes. In this way he lures the hogs
on until in their mad chase they fol-
low him through the open gate into
the pen, when he Immediately pro-
ceeds to jump the fence on the oppo-
site side, while his master, who has
been seated on the fence during the
pursuit, wbistling and shooting tobac-
CO Juice at passing humble bees, hur-
riedly climbs down and closes the gate
on the entrapped porcines. The faith
full and intelligent dog, which is found
nowhere else but in the languorous
shades of the Catahoula wilds, is o.
warded with a pone of corn bread,
and the next day there is a great hog
killing time, followed by feasting and
revelry.-Southern Cultivator.

0uEER FACTS ABOUT A WATCH.

Open your watch, and look at the
little wheels, springs and screws, each
an indispensable part of the whole
wonderful machine. Notice the busy
little balance wheel, as it flies to and
fro Increasingly, day and night, year
in and year out. This wonderful lit
tie machine is the result of hundreds
of years of study and experiment.
The watch carried by the average
man is composed of SO pieces, and its
manufacture embraces more than 2,OOo
distinct and separate operations. Some
of the smallest screws are 80 minute
that the unaided eyes cannot distin.
guish them from filings or specks OF
dirt. Under a powerful magnifying
glass perfect screw is revealed. The
slit in the head is two one-thousandth
of an inch wide. 1t takes $685. OF
these screws to weigh pound, and a
pound is worth $1,5S5. The hair
spring is a strip of the finest steel,
about nine and one-half inches long,
one one-hundredth of an inch wide,
and twenty-seven ten-thousandths OF
an inch thick. 1t is coiled up in spiral
form and finely tempered. The pro-
cess of tempering these springs was
long held as secret by the few fortu-
nate ones possessing it, and even now
is not generally known. Their manu-
facture requires great skill and care.
The strip is gauged to twenty one
thousandths of an inch, but no mesur-
ing instrument has yet been devised
capable of fine enough gauging to de-
termine before hand by the size of
strip what the strength of the finished
spring will be. A twenty one-thous-
andth part of an inch difference in
the thickness of the strip makes diff:
ference in the running of a watch
of about six minutes an hour.
The value of these springs, when

SOME BICYCLE HINTS.

The Buffalo Express prints few
words of advice as to the means to be
pursued to get the fullest enjoyment
from the wheel.
Don't ride with soft tire. Keep it
pumped as hard as you can; the wheel
will ride easier and last longer.
Don't ride with loose bearing, nor
yet with one too tight. Five minutes
running on poorly adjusted bearing
may ruin the best wheel.
Don't try to do tricks in crowd.
Many good machine has been smash
ed because some smart Alec thought he
could ride hands off.
Don't be afraid of oil-you can't get
too much of it on bearings, or chain,
either, for that matter.
Try little soap on your chain If 1t
seems to run hard. 1t is better than
graphite.
Don't drink beer. It affects the leg
muscles.
Don't coast in the night-nor in the
day time, except when you have
straight road ahead with no crossings
or Car tracks.
Don't ride q saddle that hurts
There are good ones on the market.
Don't let raindrops dry on your
nickel. Every spot means a rust
spot.
Elbow grease is the best nickle
polish.
Clean your wheel after every run,
and at all other times when you think
it needs 1t.
Keep to the right and avoid collis-
ions.
Slow up while crossing the car
track-your wheel will last longer.
Go slow around corners, unless you
have an accident policy.
Don't ride wheel if you can't be q
gentleman. There are hoodlums
enough in the ranks now.
Remember that women and people
climbing hills have the right of way.
When riding with feminine COM
panion, keep on the outside and give
the woman the curb.
Don't carry cnlid on papV car
rier unless it is borrowed or you have
more children than you need.
Don't make fun of girl in boomers.
How would you like to wear skirtsP
Try a cold plunge after country
run.
Get your saddle high enough. If
too, low your knees will get cramped.
If hands or feet get numb, change
the position of your handle bars or
saddle.
It isn't the scorcher that gets the most
fun out of wheel.
Don't try to ride a high gear unless
you are training for road race.
Avoid ice drinks when overheated.
Cool off first. Beware of ice cream
soda.
Stop riding when you get tired.

BRYAN IS DESTINY'S MAN.
Has Believed Since He Was II Years OIL
That He Was to Attain Prominence.

Has Believed Since He Was II Years Old
That He Was to Attain Prominence.
Two months ago w. ]. Bryan said
to an intimate friend in this city.
81 think I shall be the president
of the United States. I am confident
that shall be nominated at Chicago,
and if nominated I am sure I shall
be elected. I think Mckinley will
be the Republican nominee and he
can be beaten. 1t is matter have
never said much about, but I believe
in destiny, and ever since I was IA
years of age I have felt that was des-
tined to rise to a position of promi-
nence and Importance.
"When I was nominated for con-
gress and elected, regarded that as q
stepping stone to something greater.
"Lately I have been considering the
question of the presidency, and 1
somehow have a feeling that the
honor of nomination in the country
will come to me when the Democratic
national convention shall meet in Chi
cago. Of course am counting upon
the free silver people controlling the
convention. For year / have not
thought that there was any doubt of
that.
eff am nominated, I am almost
certain that the Populists will endorse
my candidacy in their convention in
St. Louis. I think the free silver can
didate for the presidency will be elect
ed, because there will be only one can
didate representing free silver before
the country, and all the silver people
will unite on him. I think the gold
people will have two or more candi-
dates. Most of the gold Democrats
who would be inclined to vote against
the silver Democratic nominees and
for Mckinley, or some other gold can
didate, are in states that are sure to
90 Republican. On the other hand,
the combined strength of the free sill
yer Democrats and Populists in west
ern and southern states that have
been regarded Republican states will
be such that many electoral votes will
be won from the Republicans" Lin

He brought the foremost to tho ground
allay the fears Of their friends, Boutou
raised his hat, and, with bow intend
ed to be very gallant, said:
Don't feel scared, ladies. I'm gem
tleman, and I promise that no harm
shall come to you"
Bouton heard a deep bass voice be-
hind him, and trembled, and the next
instant the Prophet lowered up before
him.
"What did you want with me?" said
the Prophet, and he threw his long rifle
into the hollow of his left arm, and,
with his right hand grasping the lock,
he looked with mingled ferceness and
contempt at the outlaw leader.
II want to tell you, =" said Bouton,
who did not want to lose his character
for firmness in the eyes Of the men
crowding around, "that it will be safer
for you to leave this camp and to re.
main away"
"Safer?" repeated the Prophet
"Yes, that is what ! said"
II have never considered my own
safety in coming or going through these
hills I have never thought Of danger
from man when l felt that was obey
ing the behests Of the great Jehovah.
Didst think that dreaded thee or thy
bandits? Why should flee, I, who nev-
er feared the face of mortal man2"
Bouton waved his hand and half turn
ed on his heel
II shall CO." said the Prophet solemn
ly. 81 can be of no use at present to the
oppressed shall go, Bouton, but
will return, and when l come within
reach Of your peoples fire you will be
within the reach of this" He patted
the long weapon resting In the hollow
of his arm and continued, For every
indignity you offer to the people now in
thy power life will be taken"
The Prophet stepped back, and kept
stepping back until he was over the cor
raj wall and lost in the darkness
"Let him go, ;" said Bouton, with q
laugh. "Let him 60 and rave to the
rocks and trees, rs is his habit But
command you, men, if he ever comes
within reach again shoot him down aE
you would wolf. "
Bouton went back to Alice Blanchard,
and again his hat was in his hand
''Tell the ladies not to fear, he said.

CHAPTER TX.

CHAPTER TX
Bouton expressed no horror when
Black Eagle told him that Henry Kyle
was dying. He had no love for the
young man. He feared his popularity
with the gang, and, like greater rulers,
he wanted no rivals near his throne.
"Go up with Black Eagle and see
what's wrong don't think Hank is
the man to let any one get away with
him.
Captain Brandon, Immediately after
his encounter with Henry Kyle, swan
across the Blue Water, intending to go
down on the opposite side and recross
when abreast his camp. He reached the
shore without much trouble, though the
water was very cold and the current
swift As there was no light in his own
camp and the river was quite wide he
could only guess at its location when he
started to swim back. He reached the
shore, and, rising to his feet, was about
to walk to the corral, when a chorus Of
savage yells that rooted him to the spot
rang out and echoed among the rocks.
Surrender. surrender, or We'll open
frer' shouted Bouton from the center
of the stockade.
Hold! Hold! We surrender" called
out the men under Howard Blanchard.
A dozen torches were lit inside the
corral. and revealed Bouton and his
gang in full possession Of the central
stockade, in which were the women and
children, and where the captain had
counted on making his last stand
Fly, Howard! Fly!' shouted Alice
from the stockade
The captain saw man leaping over
the wall and heard the crack Of dozen
rifles.
"That is Howard Blanchard, and
they are following him." said the cap
lain aloud Then he shouted: ''This
way. Howardl This wayl'
Howard Blanchard recognized the
voice Of his friend, and ran toward
him. He would certainly have been
overtaken by his pursuers had not the
captain raised his rifle and brought the
foremost to the ground.
"Come, Howardr' cried the captain,
seizing the young mans arm. "Keer
beside me-" And together they vanished
in the darkness
