A Wife's Devotion.

The death of Mrs Frances McKane,
widow of John Y McKane, last week, re-
calls an interesting chapter in the political
history Of New York. For more than a
decade John Y. McKane held Sheepshead
Bay, Gravesend and Coney Island in the
palm of his hand, in a political way. He
decided more than one contest by swing
ing his strength to the side he supported.
1t has been said that he once made Presl-
dent of the United States by holding back
the returns until If was known how many
votes would be needed to make New York
State safe, and then, having the proper
majority certified to- His power was
finally broken when he refused to recognize
an order issued by Supreme Court Judge
at the instance of William j. Gaynor, ther
a candidate for the Bench. McKane say
ing that injunctions did not go at Coney
Island. McKane's arrest, trial, convic-
ton and final incarceration in prison al
Sing Sing was national sensation.
Through it all his wife refused to admit
the possibility that John Y. McKane could
have done wrong. His place was always
prepared for him at the table. At night
a.light was kept burning in his window,
.sto guide him home,' said the sorrowine
and heart broken wife. When John Y.
McKane did return home, his health and
spirit wrecked, his wife gave him the care
that might be bestowed upon crippled
child

Little Hints.

Two or three Jumps of sugar added to
starch made with boiling water will make
it sitter and more glossy. A teaspoonful
of turpentine added to every quart Of
starch, either hot or cold, will give bril-
liantly polished surface, and prevent the
irons sticking.
To preserve boots and shoes, and pre-
vent their cracking, rub castor oil well into
the leather, and between the soles and up
pers; let it remain on for twelve hours,
then wipe with cloth The oil softens
the leather and greatly prolongs their
wear They will polish with backing after
the use of the oil Boots that have be-
come hard from contact with sea water
may be softened in this way.
Cold in the head can be cured at once,
if taken care of at the beginning. Dissolve
a tablespoonful of borax in pint of hot
water; let it stand until it becomes tepid
snuff some up the nostrils two or three
times during the day, or use the dry pow
dered borax like snuff, taking pinch as
often as required. At night have hand
kerchief saturated with spirits of camphor
place it near the nostrils, so as to inhale
the fumes while sleeping.

stork Visits.

The stork was held sacred by the ancient
Teutons and is still piously revered by their
descendants in the Fatherland. In Ger
manic mythology sacred to Holla or Freyja,
the Goddess of Love, who receives the
souls of the dead in the celestial fountain
and sends them back to the earth as the
souls Of children, the stork, the ''messen
ger of the gods, guides or carries the
human souls to their destinations to be
reincarnated in the newborn babes. The
heavenly fountain is called "Quickbourn'
German, g Queckborn' J, from s'quick, 2
ssalive'' Gas the world is still used in the
Biblical phrase, He shall judge the quick
and the dead and 'bourn German,
born or sEa.unnen' There are still
tQueckbrunnen in Germany, from which
transitory habitations the storks were be-
Geved to procure the newborn children $
souls. The "Queckbrunnen' in Dresden,
Saxony, for instance, was sacred to Holla
before Christian priests dedicated it to st.
Mary, and the weather vane on the oppo-
site chapel still represents a stork with a
baby in its bill. The root meaning of the
word 'stork is doubtful Interesting is
the Scandinavian legead, according to
which the bird received its name from flying
around the cross of the dying Christ, crying
sStyrka styrkar' ssStrengthenl strength
emf )-the last time its voice was heard,
for the stork has been voiceless ever since.
In heraldry, as the emblem of piety and
gratitude, the bird is a frequent bearing in
coat -armor The name "Adebar or
'sOdebar, given to the stork in some parts
of Germany to this day, means ''soul-
bearers, and reflects the ancient Teutonic
myth.

wonders of a Watch.

Much in little, can be said more
truely of irst-class american watch than
Of almost any other product Of human in
genuity and industry. The watch one
carries in his pocket, unless it is of the
cheapest pocket clock variety, has in its
movement more than $50 parts, and this
number does not include the case which
holds the movement.
A glance at the movement is enough to
show that most of its parts are very small,
but one can scarcely realize how minute
some of them are Take, for example,
the numerous screws which hold the parts
together. Some of them are SO tiny that
it takes nearly $50, 600 of them to weigh
pound. One must use a good microscope
to see the threads Oil these screws and
each Of the threads must be absolutely per-
feet and true, or the screw is useless.
There are screws in small sized watch,
such as women usually carry, which have
a thread of 260 to the inch. The weight
of one of these screws is one one-hundred
and thirty -thousandth of pound.
The diameter of the pivot of the bal
ance wheel in watch is only one two
hundredth of an inch and pivots classified
| by gauge, which measures down to one
ten-thousandth of an inch. The jewel
hole into which the pivot fits is one FIVE
thousandth of an inch larger than the
pivot so that the latter may have sufficient
| play.
Jewels in watch movement are cut
J from slabs of garnet, ruby or sapphire,
one-iftieth of an inch thick Then they
/ are surfaced, drilled through the cen
ter, and one the convex side depression
is made for an oil cup. A pallet jewel,
! finished and in use, weighs one hundred
and fifty thousandth of pound, while the
weight of a roller jewel is fraction more
than one wo-hundred and ffty-six thous-
andth of pound.
The largest hairspring stud is four one
hundredths of an inch in diameter and nine
one hundredths of an inch in length.
To make the complete movement of a
good watch more than 8, 700 different pro
cesses are employed. 1t takes about i've
months to complete watch of the best
grade, but as all the processes are carried
on simultaneously the finished product is
turned out continuously by the manufac-
turers.
The balances in modern watch must
make 1s, 900 vibrations every hour A
change of only one beat will cause the
watch to gain or lose four and four fifths
seconds in "a hours. Think of the won
derfully delicate adjustments that puts to-
gether more than $50 pieces of almost
microscopical size and turns out watch
that viii not vary one second in twenty
four hours; and then take off your hat to
the American manufacturer who, by doing
this has taken the lead of the whole world
in the making of watches.

Man And His Skin.

Keep the pores of the skin open and in
good condition by frequent bathing. Man
sheds his skin just as thoroughly as some
Of the lower orders of creation, but it does
it more slowly and imperceptibly The
cells which compose the lower strata Of the
epidermis are perpetually renewed and push
upward, and the outer layer must be con-
stantly removed This process, which is
termed, desquamation, is absolutely re-
quisite to the health and beauty of the skin.
The more rapidly this process is carried on,
the more clear and transparent becomes
the epidermis and the more roseate and
yelvety the skin tissues which are con
stantly forming below.
