Strange Things on watch Face

From the New York Herald
Il Will wager" said Broadway watch
maker to customer the other day. that
you cannot correctly put down the nu-
merals on the dial plate of your watch"
''Done! said the other. And he wrote
down, l, II, III, " -
Wrong" interrupted the matchmaker
How wrong?''
Pull out your watch and look at the
figure four"
Sure enough the figure was iii, not w.
Are all clocks and watches made that
way?" asked the customer, as he put his
watch back in its fob.
IAN that have Roman figures on their
dial"
'Why?"
well. there is a tradition which ac-
counts for the custom. The first clock
that resembles the ones now in use was
made by famous French jeweler named
Henry Wick, in 1870. He made present
of 1t to King Charles ", surnamed the
Wise. Now Charles was wise In many
ways, but he did not know everything
though having a reputation to sustain he
pretended to omniscience. When Vivk
brought him the clock he examined -he
works very attentively, seeking a flaw
somewhere. Yes he said, at last, the
clock works WELL but you have got the
figures on the dial wrong. Surely not,
Your Majesty demurred the jeweller.
Yes, that four should be four ones You
are wrong, Your Majesty L am never
wrong, Numbered the King. Take 1t
away and correct the mistake Wick did
as commanded. The fashion was followed
by others. And so to this day we have
iii instead of W"
But suppose my watch had Arabic and
not Roman numerals?"
II took that chance. or course, because
the larger proportion of watches have
the Roman numerals. But even then I'd
have had you In all probability. For
there is another popularity about the fig
ures which is almost universal in watch
es. But will show you. Go on writing
the rest OF the figures"
So the customer continued and wrote
down V, vi
Wrong again." interrupted the watch
maker.
But
Pull out your watch and see," calmly
retorted the other.
Once more the watch dial was exposed
to view. There was no six on 1t. The
space where it should have been was oc-
cupied by the second hand.
THE second hand" continued the Jew
eler," is to be found in exactly that
place in almost every watch that is made.
Whether your dial was registered in Ara
bic or Roman numerals there would be
no six on it. 1t is only on a few of a
very cheap sort of watches that the sec
ond hand is omitted and the or the vi
stands revealed"

Bryan's Advice to Germans on
His Departure From Brazfl-Guilty
Chinese Allowed to Escape With
Small Punishment.
Berlin, April 6.-The entire German
nress is still greatly excited over the En-
neror's recent utterances on the occasion
Of his toasts and the reviews in to-day's
weekly press confirm this condition. The
Cologne Volks Zeitung says Emperor
Williams words to the Emperor Alexau-
der Grenadier Regiment upon the occa-
sion of their Installation in their new bar
racks near the Emperor's palace. when
he called them his life guards, ETC., have
been received everywhere with dismay
and amazement, but sadder still is the
fact that the Emperor had the regiments
barracks built in close proximity to the
castle. which shows that the En-
neror meant what he said upon
that occasion. The paper then dissects
the Emperor toast concerning Russian
German relations, and says il is evident
that somebody has been systematically
irving to embroil these hitherto friend
" nations, and that from the Emperor's
hints. this can only be Great Britain or
Japan. The paper concludes:
''Where. then, are our new English
frends?'
The fact of the matter is that the En-
rcror's lltterances have been interpreted
In all ways to suit everybody's taste and
partyism.
Our Minister'S Remarks.
The German press comments unfavora-
blv on the farewell speech of c. P. Bryan,
United States minister to Brazil, at Port
Allegro. in which Mr.. Bryan was quoted
as counselling the German residents in
Brazil to contribute to the welfare of
that country without wounding the ma
tional sentiment of the Braziiians. A
letter on this matter from prominent
German of Rio Janeiro is making the
rounds of the press. This letter says
Mr. Bryan's words were tactless, and that
the American minister interfered in mat
tiers which did not concern him, and
denies that Germany seeks political in
dependence for the German residents of
Southern Brazil
The correspondent of the Associated
Press learns on the highest authority
that Prince Tuan's fate has finally been
decided His death sentence will be COM
muted to Punishment to Turkestan. The
list of guilty Chinese provincial authori-
ties includes only four to be beheaded
and several degradations. The Chinese
commissioners are surprised that the
guilty officials should escape with such
light punishments.

Well Supplied.
Foxtown, KY, April 6.-Gen. Cassius NJ.
Clay remained barricaded in his mansion,
Whitehall, to-day and refused all propo-
sltions to be seen, excepting to talk with
Zach White, a negro sent by his son,
Brutus Clay, late commissioner to the
Paris Exposition, and Jim Bowling, who
went to deliver note sent by newspaper
men.
The old man told White to tell Brutus
that he was at war with the world, and
that no man dared cross the dead .il.e"
placed by him fifty feet in front OF his
door across the walk. To Bowling he
said that he had no statement for
the press to-day, but would make
one later. He tried to write his answer
on the back of the note, but his writing
is illegible. Bowling says the General
was not wounded in the battle yesterday
with Sheriff Coyler and Deputy Terrill
but is barricaded and armed with pistols
and knives and with shotgun At the
front door he has placed a long pole. to
one end of which he has tied a white
handkerchief and to the other
red handkerchief. The end
bearing the red handkerchief is raised,
denoting, Bowling says. that the war is
on and that he will kill the first man
who dares approach without his leave
Gen. Clay's dead line is denoted by a
walking cane lying across the walk. 1t
indicates that he is not crippled, but able
to meet his enemies in open battle.
He cooked his dinner to-day in boiler
in front of the fire place. He boiled a
ham and had canned goods with the meat
Bowling says he has some 200 cans of
apples, pears, tomatoes, corn, etc, in the
house, besides several dozen of eggs.
Brutus Clay. after falling to get an
audience with his father, returned home.
