A Marvellous Watch.

A marvellous watch is that of which
a gentleman in Berlin is the proud
owner. 1t is less than quarter OF
an inch in diameter, the face being
about the size of the head of small
drawing pin. The case is of gold,
and the whole watch weighs under
two grains 1.-THE two hundred and for.
tieth part of an ounce, troy. The
works and hands are of the finest
tempered steel. and the Jewels" con.
sist OF minute fragments of diamond.
But even this does not exhaust its
marvels. 1t actually has tiny dial
to mark the seconds, just as so many
large watches have The hand of
this dial is less than one-sixteenth of
an inch long. It's a keyless watch
of the latest pattern and the owner
would not sell it for five hundred
pounds. Probably there is no timer
timepiece in the world. Its marvels
of workmanship can only be properly
appreciated with the aid OF micro
scope.-Cassell's Saturday Journal.

by a tiller. and abreast of that long
arm of brass-ended timber, stood a
tall and martial figure, an elderly
gentleman, in a long military cloak,
and a soft black hat with a wide
brim Her few men stood with their
heads above the line of her bulwarks,
strsining their vision in evident
alarm and ama=ement at their pur-
suer.
The bostswain had leveled the long
piece fair at the stranger. when Pope
saw that she had put her helm down
and was slowly rounding, with faint
tremor OF canvas. as though feai
shook her into the winds eye. In
stantly the captain began to roar out
orders. A boat was lowered, twelve
men armed with cutlasses and pistols
tumbled into her. Pope took charge
with sword at his side and pistol
in his bosom; and Crystal with folded
arms and stern black face. stood
at the quarterback railing looking
on.
The boat swept alongside. Pope and
eleven men sprang aboard with
fiuorished cutlasses, but so far from
meeting with any resistance they
found clear deck. One figure alone
remained. He was the tall man in
the cloak and black soft hat.

Pope shook his head The noble
man flushed, started and stared lit

of dastards were coming up out OF
the forecastle; they were eleven men
and one was clean valet with q
white cloth. and another was a cook
in white cap. AS they came to the

their raked cutlasses, the boat steered
by Crystal dashed along side, and that

Crystal who stood hard by while
some of the first gang Of pirates hung
about the companion-way, says with
out reverence to Pope, What does

Two thousand pounds cried the
Earl.
Pope fiourished his sword toward

He threw his head back when Pope
approached and exclaimed in calm
deep voice:
Why have you boarded me, sir?"
Pope answered, I'VE are gentlemen
of fortune. We are sailing the high
seas in search of an estate and you'll
help US in that quest"
He could not but be deferential to
the fine old fellow. He was a gentle
man by birth, an Irishman, the son
of clergyman. and no fierce and
bloody pirate as yet.

restless and wild, bloodshot, hairy and
rugged, every man with a cutlass in

Thanks, my lord. II is our custom

But why. sir? But why?" cried
