for the purpose of blasting out
stone to be used in repairing the
dam at the mill. The hole was
not just as Mr.. Welty desired it
to be, so he put in some black
powder, lit piece of fuse and
dropped it in. He was kneeling
down and bending over the drill
hole at that moment, and from
some unknown cause the powder
ignited, the full force of the blow
striking the man directly in the
face. The injured laborer wa.
taken to his home and the face
was bandaged, but nothing could
be told as to the extent of dam.
age done. The eyes are complete
ly swollen shut and badly burned,
so much so in fact, that it Is not
probable that the victim will ever
recover his eycsight. Mr.. Welty
has a large family to support and
the blow falls very heavily on
them all. 1t is needless to say
that they have the sympathy of
the community.
Rev. M. E. Judkins was return

for watch wearers. In the morning Is
probably the best time, so as to have
the greatest tension of the spring dur
ing the day, when the works are most
liable to shaking and hard usage. Have
your watch cleaned and oiled regular
ly. The delicate balance wheel makes
150,000,000 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. No matter how well the cases
may close, the subtle dust will work It's
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
yesterday. If anything should occur to
cause them to stop, don't try to find
out yourself 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
it 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.
If these few simple, common sense
rules were observed, half the watch
makers could seek some other trade.
