Watch Connections,

Very few people know that there are,
in connection with the Geneva watch
trade, competitions involving very largo
sums of money, a goodly proportion of
which finds its way into England.
A certain number of watchmakers at
Geneva nominate certain dealers in
England who shall hold competition
watches made by the former, and tho
names of such dealers are agreed to by
the whole Of the said makers. Prizes
ranging from $500 downward arc given
to the makers whose particular watches
shall keep the best time and remain in
the finest condition during IL months.
The English dealers who hold the
watches during the IL months have to
keep daily record in regard to the loss
or gain of time evidenced by their
charges, and they arc of course III abso-
Lutte honor bound to keep a correct one
and not to tamper with the watches be-
yond winding them. No given makers
watch in the competition bears any
name or distinctive mark other than pc
cullarities OF construction by which the
name OF the maker can be identified by
tho holder. The watches arc of the
usual kind manufactured for trading
purposes and not nero Exhibition"

A MlLLIONAERE'S AMUSEMENT.
Tho Now Wealthy Ex-Junkman Spends
His Time In Whiting.

sAlS Lille Al w
A millionaire must be allowed to have
some amusements, and if ne is disposed
to amuse himself III ways that would
not be at all amusing to the big public
made of men who are not millonaires
he must certainly be accorded the privi-
lege.
One of Cbicago's greatest stockmen
and packers was once dealer in junk,
and it is said that he once went about
gathering old iron himself Now he is
reputed to be worth $40, 900, 900, and
rumor says that he has his property in
such shape that he could, if he chose,
raise larger sum in cash than any
other man in Chicago.
Each morning the millionaire's man
comes into his office with a bundle of
clean pine sticks, which he places in a
corner not far from the millionaires
desk When the millionaire has read his
morning mail, and business men como
in to sec him, he takes one of the sticks,
and with a big, old fashioned jackknife
whites it into bits, the shavings fall
ing Oh the floor. Sometimes he walks
up and down-he walks much-and
whittles. By the time business is done
for the day his office looks like car
penter shop and the bundle of pine
sticks has vanished The harder the
business problems he has to meet the
harder he V hittles. And that is the way
he anluses himself. Chicago Record.

Since succeeding the above named firm,
whose entire stock, fixtures and good will we
have purchased, we have remodeled the cele-
brated Braddock Distillery in all Its APP
purtenances, until it now stands without a
rival as one of the most complete plants in
the United States for the manufacture of a
perfectly pure all-rye Whiskey for medicinal
or other purposes free from fusel or other
poisonous oils so frequently found in less
reliable goods.
We have testimonials from leading phys
icians IN all parts Of the country commencing
the Braddock for its medicinal properties
Among the latest is one from Professor
}. III. Mallet. the distinguished chemist of
the University of Virginia. who, at our re-
quest, made very careful analysis of it, and
writes as follows:

Napoleon's Manners.

Napoleon was rude. His manners
We're coarse, and when at table he ate
as fast as he could chew and swallow,
shoveling the food into his mouth with
his knife and using his fingers Whenever
they came into more convenient EN-
ployment. When talking to his officers,
he often, as a friendly favor, pulled
their whiskers Or pinched their ears.
To women he was almost invariably Of
fensive, sometimes uttering language SO
coarse as to bring flush of shame to
their checks and the tears to their eyes.

Tic Making of Tubing.

One Of the most important parts Of
the bicycle, because it is the most i'll
evidence, is the tubing. The manufac-
ture of tubing is now carried Oh to a
large extent i'll this country, although it
is but recently that the home production
has reached a stage Of perfection where
it could successfully compete with that
of the English concerns.
There are number of methods of
making tubing, but the one mostly in
vogue at present is what is termed the
cold drawn process, and it is of this style
Of tubing that all the high grade ma
chimes are at present being made. The
machinery required is ponderous, and
the power required to draw out piece
of steel without heating it is another ex-
hibition of the perfection of modern ma
chinery.
There are number of variations to
the method employed, one of which con-
slsts i'll taking piece of steel in the
shape of a bar or ingot This is bored
through tho center. 1t is then passed
through a die, after which it is heated
and treated to Il bath in il secret prepa-
ration which removes the temper that
the drawing process imparts. This is re-
peated number of times, and each die
used is smaller than its predecessor, with
the result that the tube grows smaller
and longer. This is continued till tho
tube is the right diameter and gauge

The head of the famous Christy min

Christy, then O yoDng man, was a

bound to Buffalo, where the first show
was to come off. But the minstrel had
not even dollar to invest i'll the hire
of a cellar for the performance. Cap

up. So he camo to New York to see if
he could obtain situation as master
or, failing that, as mate Of seafaring

He bethought himself OF Christy,
whom ho supposed might possibly know
some shipowncr to whom ho could rec
commend him. The minstrel received
him most cordially, but told him that
he had 10 acquaintance III that line Of
business.
"Why don't you buy a ship" he
asked.
''Buy a ship!' answered Folgcr.
"Why, haven't a dollar in the world.

To my establishment, he referred me
to e. ?. Christy as the purchaser, and
then he told me the story as l tell it.
We went together to see Christy, and
the result of the interview was that l
gave him bill of sale Of the Vandalia,
taking his note in payment, the note to
be paid in installments, and every morn

of bills, quarters, shillings and six

In Hard Luck,

Just across from the depot was the
town graveyard, and sitting on bag
gage truck ON the platform was a
ragged, lonesome man, whom any one
would have spotted at once for a tramp.
There were a dozen of us walking up
and down as we waited for the train.
but for quarter of an hour the tramp
sat with his head in his hands and had
nothing to say to any one. Then pas
senger, who was evidently on good
terms with himself, walked up to the
man and said:
Dead broke, of course, old man"
''Yes, dead broke" replied the man
on the truck, as he looked up.
Haven't had anything to eat in two
or three days, eh"
''Not since yesterday morning.
Willing to work, but your health
won't permit it, take it, as is the case
with all the rest of 'em?"
MY health amt overly good" replied
the tramp. after a bit.
NO, of course not" laughed the man.
Perhaps you are also worrying about
your family? Do you want to raise
dollar in time to get home to see your
wife die?"
Come along, you-come along,
gents" said the tramp, as he rose up
and climbed the graveyard fence. p
Half a dozen of us followed him, and
as we reached the fence and looked
over, he pointed to three graves which
were so new that grass had not taken
root, and said:
There's the family-wife and two
children. A week ago / was 100 miles
away, but got to thinking about these
graves, and 1 couldn't stay away. This
morning finished my walk, and was
waiting for the train to go before l
came up here. Yes, I'm dead broke, and
hungry and in poor health and tramp,
and there's the reason of it. When they
died it broke me up"
One by one we went back to the plat
form. The tramp came last of all, and
he was going away without looking at

the money we had raised in his hand,

Will III robin sing in that land,
That land so fair and so far,
That lies as our souls fondly dream,
In the depths of the uttermost star?
Will the violet bloom in that land,
And the mosses so sweet and so shy,
Ali the dear common things that we love
In the dim, distant deeps Of the sky!
Will the children sing in that land,
All the sweet, simple songs of the earth,
And shall we rejoice and be glad
In their music and frolicsome mirth!
Oh! will there be friends in that land,
Friends who love and rejoice IN our love,
Will they look, will they speak, will they
smile,
Like our own mid the strangeness
above?
OH shall we have homes in that land
To return to where'er we may roam!
Oh! the heart would be lonely and sad
E'en in heaven if we had not home.

But a friend and the clasp of his hand,
Oh! would that my spirit could know
That the robin will sing in that land.
