Watch VS.. Locomotive.

Very few of the millions of people
who carry watches realize to what a
wonderful extent fabrication is devel-
oped and what an extraordinary num-
Der of turns the balance wheel makes
with one oiling. A Chestnut street
Matchmaker, whose knowledge of these
wonderful pieces of mechanism is not
exceeded by any man in this city, has
made up an interesting table of COM
parison to show the perfection of lubri-
cation in n watch.
A watch will run on one oiling from
a year to a year and a half. Every
minute the balance wheel turns on Its
axis 450 times, and $1,000 times in an
hour. Accepting the year as the time
the ordinary watch will run with one
oiling he finds that if the driver of a
locomotive was as well oiled as the bal
ance wheel of a watch 1t ought to run
sixty miles an hour day and night for
648 days, or well ON to two years with
one oiling. In that time 1t would ira.
verse a distance equal to nearly four
times the circumference of the earth.
In view of the fact that in reality few
locomotives will run one day without
reoiling, he maintains that the watch
maker has developed his art to q far
greater degree than the locomotive
builder has yet been able to reach

Honest but Cute Yankee.

There is a funny case CT international
honesty down in Arizona. just Gu the
line between that territory and Mexico.
A Yankee farmer lives there, one ANA
sa Barrow by name, and it is his bust
ness to raise chickens. Chicken feed is
cheap in Mexico and chickens bring fine
prices i'll Arizona, but to raise fowls in
Mexico and bring them across the bound
airy or TO buy the feed and bring it
across, would involve the payment of a
considerable duty, which would eat the
profits about as fast as the hens could
eat the corn. AS for sm uggling, that
was not to be thought of.
Amasa is a Yankee, and he is SO hon.
est that his neighbors say he wouldn't
trade. But he is also full of Yankee in
genuity, and after deep cogitation he
built a long, slim hencoop, one-half CT
it in Arizona and the other i'll Mexico.
On the line there is a gate. Over the
line there are barns containing feed.
At feeding time the gate is opened, and
the chicken fancier Shoes his flock into
Mexico, where they eat their meal.
Then he Shoes them back to the protec-
ton of the American flag, where they
digest this Mexican grain, lay their
eggs and carry on their family affairs.
Mr.. Barrow saves about so per cent Oh
his grain and makes about that much
on his chickens, and if there is any
smuggling done it is done by the inno-
cent and irresponsible biddies. Wash

Of Steenth street the other night, MAX
ing judicious selections from the ar
ticles Of silver and alleged silver which
he found in the dining-room, when he
inadvertently made a noise, which dis
turbed somebody upstairs.
He heard that somebody cautiously
open a door, and then all was still, as IL
the somebody were listening. Then a
voice floated down the staircase:
William, is that you?"
Without a seconds hesitation the
burglar replied, YES, darling" and be-
. Il to move toward the door, hoping
that his reply had satisfied the in
quirer, who would then go back to bed,
and wait for civilian" to come up
stairs. But he was disappointed.
The voice Immediately let loose some
piercing screams, and as the burglar
rushed out into the street, he said to
himself:
THAT comes of my inexperience with
the ways of husbands. Instead of re-
plying Yes, darling l should have
said, OF course it's me; shut up and go
to bed That would have been more
natural and soothing, and l could have

They Dug Graves.

Many of the gold finds In the Klon-
dixie region have been purely accidental
and some of them were decidedly in
teresting, though perhaps not more so
than many accidental finds in u own
West in the '40s and sos. 1t was be-
fore 1850 that three men, while look
ing for gold in California, discovered
the dead body of a nan who evidently
had been prospecting" Poor fell
low!' said n of the trio. HE has
passed in his checkst' Lets give him
n decent burial" said another. Some
wife or mother will be glad if ever she
knows It," They began to dig a grave.
Three feet below the surface they dis
covered the signs Of gold. The stran-
ger was buried in another place, and
where they located a grave they open
ed a gold mine.
An adventurer who had drifted into
Leadyille awoke n morning without
food or money. He went out and shot
a deer, which, in its dying agonies,
kicked up the dirt and disclosed signs
Of gold. The poor man staked out a
claim" and opened one of the most
profitable mines ever worked in Lead
vile.
Dear Man Claim" the name given
to another rich mine in Leadville, was
discovered by a broken-down miner
while digging a grave. A miner died
when there were several feet of snow
ON the ground. His comrades laid his
body in a snowbank and hired a man
for $50 to dig a grave. The grave dig
ger, after three days absence, was
found digging n mine instead of a
grave. While ~excavating he had struck
gold. Forgetting the corpse and his
bargain, he thought only Of the fact
that he had struck it rich.'

The Women of Guiana.

The wife of the cody in Guiana is q
woman who is very much to be enyied.
Every gold or silver piece her husband
receives for his services is beaten into
personal trinkets to be worn by his bet
ter half. In this condition it constitutes
the cash wealth Of the family. 1t is per
fectly safe, as it is as much as any mans
life is worth to touch the trinkets SO long
as the woman wears them. These same
women are also noted for their beauty.
Their features are straight and perfect,
their eyes beautiful in color and their
forms perfect models of symmetry and
grace. Dressed in soft, filmy materials,
rich in color and eastern figures, they
present strangely oriental and fantastic
appearances.

SAILED THE COW TO A FAIR.

And This Cape Colder Captain Got First
Prize In a Special Glass.
When l was down on Cape Cod, |
heard an amusing story about an old
sea captain and his COW. Captain Pat
terson. after sailing the sea for more
than 40 years, finally retired to n little
farm near Barnstaple. where he settled
down, with a horse, COW and two or
three dozen hens. His COW, though a
lauk and rather stubborn creature, was
said to come from very good stock, and
when the Barnstaple people took it into
their heads TO have a fair Captain Pat
terson determined to exhibit his cow.
But when the day came for driving
her to the grounds the COW showed that
she had a mind of her own and would
not bulge a step beyond the farmyard
gate. In vain the old captain tugged at
the rope, pummeied her sides and push
ed her TANKS. The COW wanted to go
to pasture and was bound she wouldn't
go to the fair.
Captain Patterson's patience was
very nearly gone, when suddenly an
N0( NSNAANo W HILL 4nOukH lt as
not strong enough himself 10 force the
COW to go to the fair his training sug-
eested something hat was. Tying the
COW to the satepost, he went DIP inio
the loft of his barn and threw down M
old sail stepped to a dory mast. Then
he put a horses blanket belt through an
iron ring, strapped the belt around the
anpV IuSprfo6 fhn onl af tla ,,,osf i, thA
ring and bound the mast to the side of
the cow with some 90 feet of rope.
The wind blew "quartering," and
when the captain united the COW and
raised the sail the canvas swelled out
over the cows back, and away she went
'sidling" down the road, mooing and
plunging and trying to stop herself in
vain. Captain Patterson seized her tail,
and using it as "a rudder guided her
skillfully in the right direction. With
every fresh puff of wind the obstinate
COW would be hurried along faster,
while the dust blew up i'll clouds and
the sail tapped and tugged as Captain
Patterson held to the mainsheet with
one hand and the cows tail with the
other.
1t was a hard voyage for both of
them, but not a long one, and when
they came in sight Of the fair ground
everybody ran out to sec the remarkable
sight of a COW being sailed through the
streets like a ship. Cheers and laughter
filled the air, and when the captain
finally whirled his COW around at the
gate of the fair ground and brought her
neatly up into the wind the shout
that arose might have Esen heard two
miles away.
Unfortunately Captain Patterson's
GOV did not take one of the prizes for
blooded stock, but tie captain himself
was given a special prize by the fair
commissioners for 1.-THE best advice for
getting balky cattle to market. Out

Here is a physical training direction
adapted to most individual characters

day in outdoor exercise, make the best
of bad bargains and always keep your

Every season there is a great inquiry
for the famous cholera mixture which
is so reliable. The prescription, which
is a good IL to preserve, is as fol-
lows, but should be put up by a skilled
druggist, so that quantities may not be
excessive: Equal parts of tincture of
opium, tincture of rhubarb, tincture of
red pepper, spirits of camphor and es-
sence of peppermint.

diet nearly always have heavy hair to

doctor claims that meat eating and

checked cases of falling hair by com
milk, eggs and fruit.
In cases of scarlet fever, the entire
body of the patient should be carefully
sponged with lukewarm water twice a
day, care being taken, however, to I'M
cover only that portion Of the body
which is being bathed. After each
sponging, some oily substance. such as
vaseline or glycerine, and cold cream

rubbed into the skin. This procedure
not only relieves the itching and burn
ing, but prevents the spread of the con-
tagion.
What the man of to-day needs most,
is not athletics in a gymnasium, but
plenty of fresh air in his lungs. In
stead of n quantity of violent exercise
that leaves him weak for several hours
afterward, he needs to learn to breathe
right, stand right, and sit right. And
If the woman who spends so much
time and strength getting out into the
air, would dress loosely, and breathe
deeply, and get the air into her, she
would have new strength and vigor,
and soon be freed rom many aches and
pains and miseries.
The safest way to reduce obesity is to
begin by eating and drinking less, and
to take as much exercise as possible,
increasing 1t gradually day by day.
Butter, fat, oil, sauces, haricot beans,

Time Resisting Cedar.

Cedar-wood Is famous among farmers
for its lasting qualities, when used for
fence. posts. An interesting proof of
the power of this wood to resist the eff

found buried nea the banks of the
Nile, and which, according TO recent es-
Inmates of their age, were probably in
use 1900 years ago. The fact must not

The custom of placing Grape ON the

a recent death had its origin In the an
cient English heraldlc customs, and
dates as far back at least as the year
100 A. D. At that period Indictments
or armorial ensigns were placed In
front of houses when the nobility and
gentry died. The Indictments were of
diamond shape, and contained the fam
lily arms quartered and colored with
sable.
