A REMARKABLE WATCH.

The descendants Of Mary SetouB, one
of the four maids OF honor 10 Mary
Queen Of Scots. have in their possession
a curious watch. which was given by
that queen to her favorite. The watch
which is in the shape of a miniature
skull, is about two inches and a half in
diameter. 1t IS supposed 70 have been
purchased by Mary herself when on a
visit TO Blois with her husband. the
Dauphin of France. as = has the name
OF a celebrated Blois manufacturer en-
graved on II.
The entire skull Is curiously engraved.
On the forehead there is a picture OF
Death, with the usual scythe and hour
glass and sand glass.
He IS depicted as standing between a
palace and q hovel. 70 show that he is
no respecter Of persons, and underneath
is the familiar quotation from Horace,
"Pallida mors aeqUo pulsat pede pau
perum tabernas Regumque turres." At
the back of the skull Is another repre-
sentation. this one being Of Time de-
vouring everything. Time also carries a
scythe. and beside him is the emblem
Of eternity-the serpent with its tail in
fits mouth.
The upper section OF the skull Is divid-
crucihxion. with tho Marys kneeling at
the foot Of the cross, and on the other
side are Adam and eve surrounded by
animals in the Garden OF Eden.
Below these pictures. running right
round the skull. there is an openworll
band, to allow the sound Of the striking
Of the watch to be heard. The open
work Is a series OF designs cut to repre-
sent the various emblems Of the cruel
1xion, such as scourges, the cross.
swords. spears. the lantern used in the
garden, and 50 forth. All Of the cary
ings have appropriate Latin quotations.
BY reversing the skull and holding the
upper part IN the palm OF the hand and
lifting the under Jaw on it's hinges the
watch may be opened. and on the plate
Inside is representation Of the stable
at Bethlehem, with the shepherds and
their fiocks in the distance.
The works Of the watch are In the
brains Of the skull, the dial plate being
where the roof OF the mouth would he

gold. with elaborate scrolls. while tho
hours arc marked in large Roman let

plete, even 20 a large silver bell with n
musical sound, which holds the works In

market opened easy. due to poor Liver

wanted by brokers on the lower level
quickly rallied prices almost TO last
nights final quotations. From the ac-
tons Of the early market IL was as

leading sellers were prominent local

The Washington times., 1904-09-22

One Of the curious phases Of the dem
oHstration in Union Pacific yesterday
was that the stock had been widely adj
vertised to have a sharp advance. Il
was even predicted before the opening
OF the market that IL would sell at IOi
during the day. and it just did reach that
price. This tipping of the stock for an
advance confirmed in many minds the
suspicion that the old bull crowd was
making stand In Union Pacific, put
ting II up for general effect while sell
ing other stocks. A similar suspicion
rested upon Pennsylvania. The advance
in that stock also was advertised be-
forehand.
