~ THEY CHANGE THEIR TIME.

Watches Said to Reflect tho Tempera-
:. ments of Their Owners.
There appears to be some occult con-
nect1on between a watch and it's own
er. Else why should timepiece go at
one speed on one person and at a diff
ferent one on another? Read what a
jeweler has to say about the matter,
says the Home Journal. 81 used to have
friend who had an excellent Swiss
watch, while had one of another
make. BY mutual consent at one time
we exchanged watches and though
they had gone all right before they
changed their gait entirely, mine run

days and his running FIVE minutes be-

nothing compared to the difference be-
tween some people. Sometimes watch
that will run well on one man will not
so with another and there are some
people who cannot get a watch that
will run on them at all. remember a
good many years ago I had a man
come to my place with an old-fashioned
English lever watch to lie repaired. I
had some very nice gold watches in
stock at the time and as he looked we'll

POliteness at Home.

In family life do not let familiarity
swallow up all courtesy. Many of: us
have a habit of saying to. those with
whom we live such things as we say
about strangers behind their backs.
There is no place, however, where real
politeness is Of more value than where
we mostly think it would be SUPER
1uous. You may say more truth, or
speak more plainly to your associates,
but you ought not to do it less cour-
teously than you would speak to stran-
gers. Il 49,

Then the story telling began, each
speaker being appraised of his turn by
solemn pointing gesture Of the CEN
trail spook, and it is possible that such
an eerie collection of ghost stories has
never been retailed in one place before.
One tale produced hair raising sensa-
ton, describing as it did the feelings
of a watcher in haunted house. who
having sprinkled the floor with -four
to detect and trace footsteps, and sit
ting, waiting, revolver in hand, heard
all the doors fly open at the stroke of
II and saw footsteps printing them
selves off in the flour directly toward
him, no other sign of the ghostly print
er being visible. One of the best
stories was told to the accompaniment
of soft, weird music and each speaker,
keyed up to concert pitch by the sur
roundings, did his or her best to pro-
duce that :creepiness of the flesh which
was so much desired by the fat boy in
"Pickwick," while all nerves were kept
in high strung condition by a chorus

usual signs Of festivity. Instead, the
guests arriving found not one solitary.
CLEAN of light, and stumbling up the
steps received their first shock. Be-
fore they had time to ring the door
swung open without sound, and step
ping into the hall they confronted, !,
looming ghostly in the darkness, a TALL:
white hooded figure, which, without
words, solemnly pointed to- the stair
way. Passing up this, with nerves be-
ginning to assert themselves, shock No;
2 communicated himself through an
open doorway which had to be passed.
Through it, from some unseen source,
throbbed and pulsated a pale blue light
and lying on the floor, in the middle
of the room, in full view from the door,
was a white figure which moved in a
peace destroying fashion to a ghostly
symphony of clanking chains. On the
landing above was stationed another
tall, white figure, to serve as usher to
the dressing room, and, in order that
the ladies might be distinguished from
the gentlemen, some slight infraction
of the rule Of absolute darkness was
necessary. Accordingly, in front of the
white figure stood a smoldering brazier
and when stumbling steps or nervous
giggles announced the arrival Of more
guests, the figure threw a pinch OF
some powder upon the brazier, produce
ing a momentary fare of blue flame,
by the light of which the ladies were
solemnly and wordlessly waved into
one room and the gentlemen into an
other. Here, at the hands of two
hooded attendants, and by the light of
dim, blue burning braziers, the guests
themselves became spectral, being in
vested with long white hooded gar
ments, and in this guise reaching the
drawing room, they were received
wordlessly by white figure with a
conspicuously cold. and clammy hand,
which assigned them to seats arranged
in an irregular semi-circle before log
fire, which burned with green, blue and
red flames, and afforded the only light
in the room.

while the total MURDER for 1895 was nearly
100000 No other new country ever was filled
up Mt such n rate. At present nearly all are
settling west of the DBL But as the consfruc-
ton Of the road proceeds and the still more de-
sirable regions further east are opened up the
number Of settlers may be expected to Increase
and by the end Of the century, when the road
is completed, we may reasonably expect to see
the population Of Siberia more than doubled
There will be practically n new nation, OF ten
or twelve million inhabitants, in one Of the
richest lands of the world, with an incaIcuIable
product Of raw materials to dispose Of, and with
an almost inestimabe need Of manufactured
goods. And its natural commercial outlet and
inlet on the ocean. will be directly opposite the
Pacific Coast Of the United States. There Is
fact which American traders and American
statesmen may well take into consideration
