SECONDHAND WATCHES. nv;
Commercial Museum Correspondent
in India Make Suggestions
In Their Letters. ssss


Among the most valuable CORE
spondents of the Philadelphia Com,
mercial museum In India and other
oriental countries are American mis-.
sionaries. Two of these, from whom
considerable valuable information has
been received, have suggested as b
means of introducing and popularizingi
American products floating cxposi-
ton. Their idea is that this should be
on board vessel and should include q
full and complete collection of Amer
lean goods. After spending some time
at Indian perts the vessel could visit
various Chinese ports, and give the
Chinese an opportunity to see what the
United States has to sell.
The museums correspondents says
that there is an opening in China for
the disposal of a limited quantity Of
secondhand watches. The native
watch repairers are skillful and work
cheaply. They will take u watch.t that
jeweler at home would not think
worth repairing and fix it up SO as to
get several years running out Of it.
Old watches, the missionary thinks,
which accumulate on the hands Of
jewelers. could be disposed of for the
value OF the silver in them.

HORACE A. TAYLOR.
Selected by President Mckinley t,
BE One of the Assistant secre-
taries of the Treasury.

II. A. Taylor is the editor and pro-
prietor of the Madison (Wis.) journal.
He is 81 years of age, and a New Yorker
by birth, having been born in St. Law
renee county of that state. He went
to Wisconsin in 1855, and after working
on a farm, driving a stage and dealing
in real estate, he drifted into the news
paper business, and, with his brother,
the late Lutte A. Taylor, started the
River Falls Journal. He afterwards
published the Hudson Times and Star,
with which paper he was connected for
over 80 years. He also engaged in the
lumber and banking business. He was
state timber agent from 1876 to 1881,
when he resigned to take the position
of consul to Marseilles. He returned to
Wisconsin in 1888, and five years later

years old. At the same time it is to be
remem bered that he is as vigorous as a
man of 40, and his years have not cooled
his ambition. Zurlinden entered the
army in 1856. During the Franco-Ger-
man war he was a captain. He was one
of the heroes of Metz and was taken
prisoner with Marshal Bazaine. Escap-
ing from the fortress of Spandau,
where he was imprisoned, he placed his
services at the disposal of the govern
ment of national defense. In 1881 he
was promoted to the rank of colonel, in
1885 he was made srigadier general,
and in 1890 he became a division gen
eral. he was minister of war during
the administration of Ribot, holding
thatportfolioi in the first cabinet formed
under the presidency of NJ. Faure. Eur
linden is the foremost man in the
French army. He embodies in himself
the rigorous militarism of the French
character. How far it will carry him
is question in which the whole world
is interested.

Medieval Doctors yindicnted.

Ground oyster shells were given by
the medieval doctors to children suf-
fering from ricketts, and scrofula. Now
1t appears that they were right. The
shells contain lime, nitrogen, iron, sui
phur, manganese, magnesia, -four, bro
mide, phosphoric acid and iodine, all
excellent for feeble children. They say
that if growing children were to take
powdered oyster shell in their food
the teeth would be,improved.

Wire Rope, Lightning Rods.

The reason why ships are not struck
by lightning is attributed to the gem
eral use which is now made of wire
rope for rigging purposes, as we'll as to
the fact that the hulls of the ships are
usually constructed of iron or steel
Thus the whole ship forms an excellent
and continuous conductor, by means of
which the electricity is led away into
the ocean before it has time to do any
serious damage.
