ago he was due at swell card party
out in the neighborhood of Riften-
house square Nine q clock was the
hour, and at 80 he found himself
unable to keep his eyes open He
repaired 10 his apartments. but
dared not lie down for fear he would
oversleep himself and miss his en-
gagement.
In the emergency an idea struck
him Going over TO the messenger
call with which his sitting room is
equipped he rang for a boy. In a
few minutes one put in an appear
ance.
Ibid you ring, siri' inquired the
lad.
Il did. answered the man about

The boy nodded in the affirmative.
We'll, continued the man about
town. Il want you To sit down in 1T

Then Iwant you to make ne get up.

Once more the messenger nodded,
and in less time than it takes TO tell
it the man about town was sound
asleep on a couch. Promptly at the
expiration of the half hour the boy
awoke him, and the engagement
was kept on time. This novel use OF
the messenger service has not been
patented by its originator, and he
says that others situated az he was
are welcome TO the idea. -Philadel-

HERE is the best speech that could
possibly be made to college or hie IA
school graduating class. 1t is from the
pen Of j. G.. Holland:
The first great lesson a young man
should learn is, that he knows nothing,
and the earlier and more thoroughly
this lesson is learned, the better it viii
be for his peace of mind, and his sue
cess in life.
When a young man has thoroughly
comprehended tire fact that he knows
nothing, and that intrinsically he is of
but little value, the next thing for him
to learn is that the world cares nothing
for him that he is the subject OF no
mans overwhelming admiration and
esteem-that he must take care of him
self.
Ii he be a stranger, he will find
every man busy with his own affairs.
and none to look after him. He will
not be noticed until he becomes
noticeable, and he will not become
noticeable until he does something to
prove that he has an absolute value In
-ociety. No letter OF recommendation
an give him this or ought to give HIM
his. No family connection will give
him this, except among those few who
think more of blood than of brains.

FANTASTIC sTlMEPIECES.


Old Fashioned Watches Were Made IL
Many Curious Shapes.
Since timepieces have come with
in the reach Of every body and
watches are made large enough for
bicycle bars and small enough for
the lady's ring it Is curiously inter
esting to recall some of the old fash
toned ones that served our ancestors
SO well generaticn ago. Long be
fore our time or that of our grand
fathers watches were made in such
fantastic fashion that il is a marvel
that their owners managed to carry
them about.
No one seems to know the exact
date of the first timepiece, but the
middle of the fifteenth century
seems TO have been the period when
portable clocks" began to appear !;
in the different collections of anti
quaries there are few specimens of
the Nuremberg eggs, or watches
made in oval shapes and coming
from the town after which they
were named.
In the possession of Lady Fitzger
aid of England there was one watch
which was 3haped like an eagle
which had assmall boy on its back
This odd ornament was made to hint
at the story 6f Jupiter and Gany-
mede The breast of the bird open

the works are most deliberately or
namented When the fair owner of
this treas raldid not wish to wear it

her table.
Gold and silver smiths seem to
have let their fancy run riot during
the sixteenth century, and watches
made in the form of ducks, acorns,
of cockleshells and of all possible
things made their appearance. Most
of them struck the hour, and one
notable invention fired diminutive
pistol at certain intervals.
When Henry II of France fell in
1910, che was a widow and wore
mourning. OF course that offered
an opportunity to the extravagant
courtiers of the day, and the result
" as that all the ornaments at court
were fashioned after such grewsome
ideas that the ridiculous was close
upon the sublime, to say the least.
Rings were formed like skeletons,
tiny collins of gold were worn as or
naments, and they contained enam-
eled figures of death, but the most
striking products of the hour were
the watches which dangled from
fair ladies' belts and which repre-
sented grinning skulls, the tops OF
which lifted TO disclose the dial plate.
OF course the eyes were brilliant
jewels. and small fortunes were
spent in the elaborate ornamental
ton of these funeral trinkets. But
the watches, the trinkets and the
people who wore them have all pass
ed away, and since 1870, or there
about. the flat oval or round time
piece has been the general favorite
