THE CARE OF WATCHES.
Best Methods OF Keeping Your Pocket
Timepiece In Good Order.


There are a great many little super
stitions connected with the handling
and wearing of watches, as 1t is with
everything not commonly understood.
How many owners Of timepieces are
very wary about leaving them with a
matchmaker lest some of the "jew-
els" may be abstracted! If these peo-
pie only knew that the most precious
jewels in the ordinary watch are only
worth about eight cents a piece, and
only about forty cents a gross unset,
their alarm would vanish; but they
would also look upon their watches
with a great deal less of mystic ven-
Grafton and awe.
Another common belief is that turn
ing the hands backward will injure the
works. How, do they know-but in
some mysterious manner that ordin-
ary mortals cannot comprehend. In
fact, the only style of watch that could
have been injured in this way is the
old English Verge" escapement, mod
elled after fourteenth century clocks
watches which almost anything would
have injured, and which were useful
for almost any purpose except keeping
time.
A watch is a complicated piece of
mechanism-the least elaborate have
hundred and fifty parts, some over a
thousand, every part neatly adjusted
to its delicate functions. And the
movements never stop, unless the
watch's owner neglects the important
precaution of winding it, or, on the
contrary, is so very solicitous about it's
welfare that he attempts to remedy the
defects of its anatomy by surgical
operations with a penknife, pin, a
lead pencil, or some other instrument
as inappropriate.
Wind your watch regularly. That is
the first great watch rule for watch
wearers. In the morning is probably
the best time, so as to have the great
est tension of the spring during the
day, when the works are most liable
to shaking and hard usage. Have your
watch cleaned and oiled regularly. The
delicate balance-wheel makes $50, 0,000,-
900 vibrations during year. The best
oils will gum and clog where there is
such continued friction.
Keep your watch pocket clean. Don't
let lint and fine dust accumulate in the
corners. Not matter how we'll the
cases may close, the subtle dust will
work its way through soon enough.
Chiefest Of all curb your curiosity.
Don't open the cases and inspect the
works. They are there yet, even though
you have not seen them since yester-
day. If anything should occur to cause
them to stop, don't try to find out your
self what it is. A matchmaker will
charge you nothing for an accurate
diagnosis, which involves no possible
further injury. And don't try to regu-
late the watch yourself. You may do
1t successfully, but the chances are
against you. In fact, the chances are
that the watch may not need regulat-
ing at all. All watches except the
best, run faster in winter, slower in
summer. Yet some men set their
watches with every clock they see,
and move the regulator, too, If they
can pry the cases open.-Popular

bristles half an inch long in the place
of beard He was always dressed
in rags and shuffled about, impressing
tie beholder rs having the appear
ance of the ideal mscr A couple
of weeks ago he was roaming about
town, looking rs squalid as usual,
and going through some very queer
actions. 1t was remarked that lie
was no doubt crazy and should be
looked after, but he left town and
nothing more was thought of it. He
went to Barton's on Monroe creek to
herd some sheep and allowed them to
scatter all over the hills. Saturday
he was relieved by new. man and
just before leaving he Was noticed to
be acting very queer around the barn,
kneeling down, with hat off and one
hand against the building. When
spoken to about pay, he said he
didn't want any thing and wouldn't
need it. He started towards town,
going down the creek, and word was
sent to town for him to be looked
after. Tom Pence and G w. Foor
went up along the creek to look for
him Near Harris place, hearing n
noise in the creek, they looked over
the bank and saw Don Leavy strug-
Cling feebly in the water and clasping
some willows. They FASTENED to pull
him out, but when laid on the bank,
he gave a few gasps and Immediately
expired. The body was brought tc

STEERING BY THE ECHO.

According to La Verne w. Noyes of
this city, who has just returned from
midsummer pleasure trip to Alaska,
navigation in those northern ATTITUDES
possesses some rather remarkable
features.
Il believe the inland steamer route
to Alaska is the finest pleasure trip in
the world said Mr.. Noyes the other
day. 'The scenery is indescribably
from the Pacific by chain of islands,
is as calm as any harbor in the world.
But at many points along the route
the channel is quite tortuous and full
of rocks, and whenever fog is en-
countered every movement of the ship
is fraught with danger.
Il was awakened about o'clock one
morning by long blast of the steam
er's whistle. This struck me as un-
usual, for vessels are rarely met on
that trip and there are comparatively
no settlements. A moment later /
heard the captain and the pilot on the
bridge over my staterOom engage in a
very lively colloquy.
=" I tell you it's right there said one
of them, excitedly; it must be, or We'll
be On the rocks in a minute!'
That was enough for me. l tum-
bled out of my berth and, half-dressed
rushed out on deck just as the whistle
gave another unearthly screech. 1t
seemed to be answered Immediately by
another whistle near by, and i'm
agined we were meeting steamer.
"'What did l tell you!' cried the
pilot. There she is all right
after waiting 10 minutes or more.
hoping to be able to catch a glimpse
of the strange craft, I accosted the cap
tain and asked him where the other
steamer was. My question nearly gave
him an epileptic fit. We had run into
