Wideman's Lecture.

On last Thursday night Will P. Wideman.
the South Carolina humorist, lectured at Mich
oson's Hall under the auspices Of the Junior
Order OF American Mechanics. The audience
was not large owing to several circumstances,
but 1t was q very enthusiastic one. Words
cannot describe Wideman's lecture on "Hit
the Grit" yon have just got to see him and
hear him. The very sight Of the man will
make you laugh. We econfess that we went 10
the hall and took q back seat rather than q
front one, so we could easily make our escape
II not pleased, but we afterwards regretted
that we did moi 20 up higher. There are some
fine thoughts in the lecture and you will be
Improved by hearing 1t. II you can laugh
Wideman will make you laugh. In the part
Of the country fiddler he Is perfectly at home,
and you will soon see that he has turned

"he is not violinist he Is just simply fd-
dler, and that there is as much difference be-
tween violinist and fiddler as there Is be-
tween q politician and statesman" The
lecturer is very entertaining gen ntleman of
the stage as well as on 1t. We advise all who
can to hear and meet w. P. Wideman.-Rock

Of the Sabbath day by the congress Of the ma
tion In holding Sunday sessions. he was pre-
pared to see manifestations OF the Great

which spread desolation, may be attributable
TO the Lords displeasure because OF a ma

WHlMS OF WATCHES.
Hang Up Your Timepiece at Night II You
Value 1t.

Hang Up Your Timepiece at Night II You
Value It.
To most people the whims and ca
prices of a watch are a deep mystery.
One very common cause of the watch
gaining or losing is the disposition that
is made of it at night, II you wear a
watch next to your body during the
day and put it on a cold marble muntel-
piece at night, or in fact anywhere in a
cold room, the watch is sure to either
gain Or lose.
Everybody knows that the proximity
Of a dynamo viii magnetic the steel
parts of a watch and ruin it for the time
being. A watch may be affected by
electricity without the owner having
been near a dynamo. The amount Of
electricity in some people is so great
that it can seriously affect the steel
parts Of a watch. A downtown watch
maker told a reporter that he often had
examined watches which were very
slightly magnetized. He used to de-
magnetic them and return them, at the
same time cautioning the wearers not
to go near a dynamo. When a man has
The same trouble with his watch con-
tinually it is a proof that the static
electricity in his body has affected the
watch.
The matchmaker said that dark peo.
pie are more likely to affect their
watches in this way, and women more
so than men. The amount of electrici.
ty in the body is, of course, very slight
but very little is required to affect the
delicate works of a watch. Persons OF
high electric organization should weal
watch with a steel case if they hope
to have an accurate time-picce.
A watch should never be laid hori
zontally at night, but should always b,
hung upon nail. Change of position
will not affect mechanically perfec
watch, but such watch is yet to bt
made.
1t is well known that a watch will
stop for some unexpected reason ant
90 on again al right if it is given
slight Jolt. The same trouble NAV no
occur again for years. This is an acci
dent to which all watches are liabl,
when carried around on the person. L
is due to the hairspring stud or tn,
regulator pins. The cause is a sudder
jump or quick movement, such as get
ting on moving car. A jolt is given t.
the balance-wheel and hairspring anC
this renders the catching possible. Th,
Jolt must come at a particular Fraction
of a second during the revolution O

will not catch.-N. Y. Journal.

RENOUNCE CHRISTMAS.
Mohammedans, Brahmins and Buddhists
Deny the Holiness of Christ.

Mohammedans, Brahmins and Buddhista
Deny the Holiness of Christ.
There are millions upon millions OF
people in the world who will not cele-
brate Christmas, and there are other
millions to whom Christmas is objec-
tionable, says the New York Herald.
Take the followers of Mohammed,
for instance. They are divided into
40 or so different sects, among which
are the Nousay-rie-yeh. There arc
about $4,000 of them, and they believe
in transmigration of the soul. They
believe that mems souls pass after
death into the bodies of animals. For
them the story of the birth and life
of Christ has no charms.
Then there are the Druses, who pro-
fess to have knowledge that God has
visited the world 234 times, but they
do not believe in Christ. For them
Christmas has no significance.
It is equally disregarded by Bud
uhists, Japanese, Chinese, Brahmipa
and Mohammedans. "There is no God
but Allah," says the Mohammedans,
"and Mohammed is His prophet" Mo
hammed's followers also have curious
notions in regard. to the fate of the un-
believers children. Some believe that
these children act as the servants of
the faithful in Paradise, and Moham-
med is recorded as saying on one oc-
casion to his wife:
"If thou desirest cam make thee
hear their cries in hades."
Other Mohammedan authorities,
however, dissent FROM this view, land
one of them boldly says: Il know fhaB.
