An TImekeeper. Are Inaccurate.

The capacity of n watch for keeping
good time Is very much governed by
its construction and its more or less
perfect finish. 1t cannot be expected
of the best horizontal watch that it
should always keep good time and even
less so of the inferior make of machine
made watches. The changes of oil. the
variat ton in temperature the diversity
of humidity of atmosphere, all greatly
affect the going of watch. Indeed, it
is only the most perfect finish which
neutralizes the adverse Influences to
the greatest degree. AS a matter of
fact, no watch keeps perfectly correct
time, and even the best chronometers
used I'm obseTvatories and OH board
ships must be regulated according to
tables which arc kept TO fix the varia-
lions to which all watches are liable.

Aristocracy of wealth Not probob,.

AEAStOcEAcy on wealth Not Probable.
Whatever the tendencies of wealthy
Americans OF the present day, it is ex-
tremely improbable that an aristocracy
of wealth should ever come into being.
1t has been seen that. an aristocracy
depends chiefly upon two conditions
the continued possession and exercise
of power and the consequent unity of
aims and ideals.
The aristocratic body in England, for
instance, Is self conscious; its members
are united by mutual understanding.
They acknowledge certain we'll recog-
nized laws of life and manners. They
depend upon each other to uphold these
laws. Individually. wealthy Ameri-
cans may be both self conscious and
self assertive. but collectively they are
antngonistic to one another The ac-
cumulationeOf wealth implies struggle,
and struggle does not bring forth the
kind of qualities which make of the
gentle and stately men and women of
Nandyke's canvases one great family.

KNOCKOUT BLOWS.
There Arc Many Vulnerable Points
In Mans Anatomy.

There Arc Many Vulnerable Points
In Mans Anatomy.
An impression prevails that there is
only one blow-that on the point of the
jaw-which really constitutes the knock
out blow, says Il writer In the British
Medical Journal. This is an error. The
temple is very vulnerable part of the
head. the lesion usually produced be-
ing laceration of the brain substance,
with hemorrhage. a blow on the ear
may cause rupture in the membrane
tympani and collapse. Dangerous
points are over the carotid and on the
larynx, the danger lying in the concus-
sion conveyed through the large nerve
trunks which run down the neck. A
blow on the larynX with the bare fist
may cause instant death, as may one
on the chest well over the heart.
Diaphragmatic blows are not so dan
gerous to life, the shock being Temporal
ry. Brisk rubbing and the use OF slim
ulants is the most satisfactory mode of
treatment. Blows over the kidneys
may cause rupture and hemorrhage.
with intense pain and shock. The most
dangerous and infinitely painful form
of Knockout blow is that on the mark"
an area of the abdominal wall CORE
spending to the center of a triangle
formed by the Xiphosternal articulation
above and a line Joining the bony ends
of the seventh ribs below. Behind this
lies the pylorlc end of the stomach. A
blow here constitutes the 'solar plex-
us" blow, but in reality it is the stom-
ach which receives and transmits the
shock.
