EARLY ENGLISH MATCHMAKING
British Timepieces First Made at the
End of the Sixteenth Century.

l am unable TO trace any reliable evi-
dence of English watches having been
made until quite the end of the six
teenth century. although German and
French productions were imported ear
lier, says Good Words. Derham, in the
second edition of his 'Artifcial Clock
maker" published in 1900, mentions
an eight-day watch which he was told
belonged to Henry VIII, but the con
text clearly shows a weighty timepiece
is referred to. Among the possessions
of Edward VI, as quoted by Wood
from royal household book, is ''oone
larum or watch of iron, the case being
likewise of iron gilt with two plum
mettes of led" The first words of this
inscription may seem to indicate n
watch with handspring, but such an
assumption Is at once dispelled by the
'plummettes of led" That Elizabeth
owned a large number of watches is
certain.
In 1911 the earl of Leicester gave to
his royal mistress zone armlet of Sha-
kelI of golde, all over failely garnished
with rubyes and diamonds, having in
the closing thereof a clocke." From
this it will be seen that the modern Gus
tom of wearing the watch in wristlet
is but revival of sixteenth century
fashion. 1t is said that Mary Queen of
Scots had two deaths heads or skull
watches, which she presented, one to
each of two fayorite maids of honor.
Among others which tradition has as
signed to the Scottish queen, Octavius
Morgan mentioned two which he CON
sidered to be of the period claimed for
them. One was CHASTITY memento
mort watch in a case of crystal formed
like a coffin and the other an octagonal
watch The latter, it is asserted, was
given by Mary TO John Knox the re-
former. The possession of many
watches is ascribed to James L., but
such as he did possess do not appear to
have been utilized as timekeepers on
every occasion, for in Savile's record
of state journey to Theobald's in
1903, it is stated that the king stopped
at the bell at Edmonton, and wishing
to count the number of vehicles pass
ing in certain time, he called for an
houre glass"

pbo,os of Moonlight scenes.

Moonlight effects in photographs have
long been admired by the uninitiated,
and fully appreciated by both amateur
and professional photographers for
their beauty, and many plates, too,
have been spoiled by snapshotters who
have accepted moonlight as the real
illuminator of these views, and accord
incly focused directly on this beautiful
orb of night. Moonlights with the
moon herself in evidence are really sun
photographs; that is, pictures taken
with a rapid exposure, the camera
pointed toward the sun generally in the
Iate afternoon or early morning and
with clouds between the lens and the
direct rays. Many charming so-called
pight-pictures are taken by makinS two
exposures. a short one in the rapidly
diminishing after loon sunlight, TO get
an impression of buildings and other
dark objects, and another longer one
after dark to print in the gas and cleo
trio lights that line the long street or
mark out the roads and winding path

Higher Taxes for Insurance Compan
The treasury department is naturally
on the lookout for increased sources of
revenue. AT present the fire insurance
companies are being watched with
acuteness. They are making a good
deal of money and some think they
should pay more to the state which
gives them prosperous people to work
among. Thus "the stock and mutuals"
In 1897 wrote $293. 100000 worth of insur-
ahee. There were received as premi-
inns 4.21S 600. of which $1,6005ti were
paid on fire losses-S794 per cent. This
means a margin of $2,500,000 to pay
agents and meet other expenses and
to divide as profit. In 1896 the ratio
of losses to premiums was a trife
higher-3823 per cent, with $2,710, 900

Catarrh is one of the most obstinate
diseases, and hence the most difficult
10 get rid of.
There is but one way to cure it.
The disease is in the blood, and all the
sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures
in the world can have no permanent
effect whatever upon it. Swift's Spe-
cific cures Catarrh permanently, for it is
the only remedy which can reach the
disease and force it from the blood.

KY, had Catarrh for years. He writes
