PENSION OFFICE
Legal Adviser Cuddy and his Qualifi-

A GENUINE NOVELTY.

1t is interesting to note that fortunes
re frequently made by the invention of
rticles OF minor Importance. Some Of
these are invented solely for safety and
convenience, and when really meritOri-
Gus, gain extraordinary popularity and
are sold by the thousands. Many OF
these articles evince much inventive and
mechanical skill and their success de-
pends on the interest they excite. Among
the most popular devices are those de-
signed to benefit people and meet pOpu-
lar conditions, and one of the most inter-
esting of these that has ever been intro
duced is the DR.. White Electric Comb,
the name OF which affords an indication
of its character. This device is as valu-
able as it is novel, and is full of sa 'isfac-
ton to all. Thousands Of these Electric
Combs have been sold i'm the various
cities of the Union, and the demand is
constantly increasing, Lovers OF con-
yenienCe and health admit the superb
Ority of Or. Whites Electric Comb over
everything Of the kind now before the
public. 1t is new, practical, dura BILE and
is just what every one has long desired.
Not only is the DR.. White Electric
Comb a source of salts faction to all, but
1t is among the few things ON the market
that does more than the manufacturers
claim for it. one lady claims that it

For the first time since 1883 our pos
tai revenues exceeded the expendi-
lures. In that year there was a sur
plus of nearly $4,000, 900, the second
since 1865 (the first being about ST.
800, 900 in 1882, and congress got so
excited about it that the rate of letter
postage was reduced from three cents
a half ounce to two everywhere in the
United States. This caused a change
in 1884 of So, 200, 900 from the credit to
the debit side of the account, making
a difference in revenues of more than
5000, 900 in n year. To Offset this
congress, in 1885, passed In act max
ing the letter rate two cents an ounce,
or fraction thereof, and in that year
the expenditures exceeded the rev.
enues by over 7 1000, 600. The deficit
in 1897 was nearly $12, 600, 900.

ance Wheel.
If you own a watch open it and look
at the little wheels, springs and screws,
each an indispensable part of the whole
wonderful machine. The busy little
balance wheel alone is the result of
hundreds of years of study and expert
ment. The watch I have before me is
composed of SO pieces, and its manufac-
ture embraces more than 1000 dis
tinct and separate operations. Some OF
the smallest screws are so minute that
the unaided eye cannot distinguish
them from the steel filings or specks
of dirt. Under a powerful magnifying
glass a perfect screw is revealed. The
slit in the head is two one-thousandths
of an inch wide. 1t takes 30S. 900 Of
these screws to weigh a pound, and a
pound is worth $1,585. The handspring
is a strip of the finest steel about 9h
inches long, a hundredth part of IN
inch wide and twenty-seven ten-thou-
sandths of an inch thick. 1t is coiled
up in spiral form and finely tempered
The process of tempering was long
held a secret by a few fortunate ones
possessing it, and even now is not gen
orally known. Their manufacture re-
quires great skill and care. The strip
is gagged to twenty one-thousandths
of an inch, but no measuring instru-
ment has yet been devised capable of
fine enough gauging to determine be-
forehand by the size of the strip what
the strength of the finished spring will
be. A twenty-thousandth part of an
inch difference in the thickness of the
strip makes a difference in the running
of a watch of about six minutes per
hour. The value of these springs when
finished and placed in watches is enor-
nous in proportion to the material
from which they are made. A compar-
ison will give a good idea. A ton Of
gold is worth $627, 915. A ton of steel
made up into hairsprings when in
watches is worth 1882, 290-more than
twelve and one-half times the value
of pure gold. Hairspring wire weighs
one-twentieth of a grain to the inch.
One mile of wire weighs less than half
a pound. The balance gives five vi
brations every second, 300 every min
ute, $4,000 every hour, $4,000 every
day and 157, $50, 900 every year. At each
vibration it rotates about one and a
quarter times, which makes 1917, 100, 900
revolutions every year. In order that
we may better understand the stupen-
dous amount of labor performed by
these tiny works let us make a few
comparisons. Take. for illustration, a
locomotive with six-foot driving
wheels. Let it's wheels be run till they
shall have given the same number of
revolutions that a watch gives in one
year and they will have covered a dis
lance equal to twenty-eight complete
circuits of the earth. All this a watch
does without other attention than
, winding once every twenty-four hours.
[ When we compare this with the fire.
quent repairs an engine receives we
certainly ought to. be willing to have
, our watches cleaned once a year.

So with an amorous parting whisper
the Jamadar made his way to the front
entrance of the lodge, while the
French maid cautiously passed round
to the window she had indicated.

The Jamadar entered the mansion
and passed unquestioned into the
Viceroy's study. There finding himself
unobserved, he took a small packet of
papers from the table, and was about
to pass them out of the open window,
when his hand was thrust roughly
back, the window abruptly closed, and
a scuf1ing of feet without followed by
a few smothered screams led him to
conclude that the plan had been dis
covered.
Hastily replacing the papers upon
the table, he was about to leave the
room when he found himself con-
fronted by the Viceroy, who had risen
early from dinner to resume work
upon some dispatches to the minister
a. Kabul.
"Ah, Jamadar," said the Viceroy
gravely. You are the very man
wanted to see."
He is going to order my arrest
thought the native officer, as he sa-
luted nervously. "a court martial will
settle my affair with the foreign girl
81 am about to intrust you with a
very important commission" resumed
the Viceroy. Certain dispatches are
to be sent by special messenger to
Kabul, and you have been selected to
command the escort. Should you ac-
quit yourself well, as I have no doubt
will be the case, you will be appointed
an aide-de-camp on my staff. Here is
your commission" and the Viceroy
took up n OF the papers in question
from his table.

1t has frequently been stated that
Mrs. Louis Botha, the wife of the
Boer general, is a descendant of
Robert Emmett, the Irish patriot. This
is a mistake. She is a descendant of
Emmet's elder brother, Thomas Ad-

United Irish Directory in 1889, and was
punished by the government by con-
finement in Fort George for three
years.
