MISHAPS OF WATCHES.
Dropping the Commorest Cause of In
jury-Especially Common Now.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
A man with a good watch dropped It IN
shifting 1t from one garment 10 another,
the watch falling three feet to the floor.
He picked it up in some trepidation and
held it up to his and listened.
1t was still going, and so it seemed 10
have suffered no harm; but when he ven
tured to open the case-ths was hunting
case watch-he found that the crystal over
the dial was broken into innumerabie frag-
ments.
He brushed this glass off the face OF the
watch. and the watch kept right on run
ming, all right for a week. But then II
stopped, and then the man took 1t 10 his
jeweler.
The jeweler looked the watch over and
presently. with a delicate little pair OF
tweezers, picked out of its interior the
broken-off head of little polished steel
screw.
MANY people drop their watches?" asked
this man who had dropped his of the jewel
er.
Half of all the watches that come in
for repairs on an average owe their injuries
to dropping was the reply 1T Is the
commonest Of all forms Of accidents to
watches Just now there are rather more
than the usual number of watches being
dropped by men on account of the fashion,
able habit of carrying the watch on fob.
The number of watches dropped in
does at intervals, and decreases again when
men once more take to wearing watch
guards.
But then people drop watches in a. great
variety of ways, as you did yours, for In
stance, in shifting it from one pocket to
another: and people drop them by dropping
the garment in which the watch is con-
tanned"
Are men or women more careless IN
handling Watches"
II wouldn't undertake to say to that.
but women are more likely than men are
to wear watches in some manner attached
TO their garments, or attached to Chain
worn around the neck, and 50 as matter
of fact there are fewer watches dropped
by women"
How about the children"
Here, as between the sexes, girls are
more careful of watches than boys are,
and less likely TO drop them. Some boys
drop their watches two three times a
day. and some seem to play foot ball with
them.
as it likely to hurt a watch to drop it?"
Pretty sure to, and short drop might
do the watch much injury as a longer
ore.
"Of course any moisture in watch Is
bad for it, and sometimes moisture gets
into a watch in ways we hadn't suspected
More than one fond father dsndling his
first child and giving ii his watch TO play
with has found later that in some nysteri-
Gus way his watch beginning TO rust.
But really it was simple enough.
THE little one had had the watch IN It's
mouth. and the moisture from its lips had
penetrated within the watch and started IL
rusting
..Mishaps to watches may come from
many other causes; there is for instance.
the familiar breaking of the handspring,
which may snap in the watch of the most
careful man. but when you ask If many
people drop their watches you mention the
cause that brings in half the watches that
come to the jeweler for repairs.

PURE PRODUCTS FOR TABLE.
Details Of Manufacture Exemplified at
Food Show.

The attendance at the pure food show
during the past week is regarded as suf11-
Gent evidence of the interest taken by the
people in Washington in the efforts of the
manufacturers to prepare only the purest
products for their tables. The numerous
exhibitors at the show have been kept busy
throughout the week explaining the details
OF manufacture of the various articles they
display, and the general intelligence of the
public on all matters of adulteration OF
food has been a source OF constant surprise
and qualification. It has been the endeaVor
of the managers of the affair each night TO
present some attraction outside the regu-
lar run of exhibits. The lectures on cook
ing and style have been given, with
changes from time to time to add TO their
interest and besides this there have been
other features of prominence.
The distinctive feature of the show TINS
evening will be the distribution of 800
pounds of Red Glover butter by the e. y.
Whitford Company. Mr.. Whltford has as
sllmed personal charge of all the details
of the management of the booth of his con-

The Christmas Tree Gamble.
from Country Life in America

From Country Life IN America.
'rThe Christmas tree business is gam
ble," says one of the few New York ship
pers who never comes out on the losing
side, because he knows how to CUT his trees
and how to sell them, because he knows
there Is always sale for the best. mo
two years alike. No one knows how many
shippers will be in the market. No one
knows how many trees the others Will
bring, nor how many he himself will bring
for that matter, with weather and railroads
to reckon with at the last minute. The
trees may cost Se5, they may cost $50, a
carload. which means from two to five
cents apiece delivered on the farm The
average market price is sixty cents bum
die of five trees, and men who get this
make good money, No two handle the
business alike. One shipper will bring ten
or twenty carloads of trees cut as they
run, and sell them at fifty cents bundle
as they run, take them or leave them. An
other will bring five carloads of carefully
selected trees, sell them at from sixty cents
a bundle to two, three or five dollars apiece
for large singles, and as high as S25 for
the giant trees that gladden. the hearts
of hundred bed-ridden babies in hospi-
tai or half-thousand youngsters who have
gone very faithfully to Sunday school for
enough weeks before Christmas TO insure
them a place on the church tree; and this
man will make more money with less risk
than the man with twenty cars of poorer
stock"

: Planting for Winter.
rom the Garden Magazine

From the Garden Magazine.
In planting for winter comfort must re-
ceve the first consideration. The rude north
wind must have It's force broken. This may
be accomplished by planting eyersreens for
windbreaks. But 1t is best TO attain the
end without the formal array Of straight
border, which is often too assertive The
outbuildings should be placed to do part OF
the work, but so as not to show too plainly
that this was in view. Between the build
ings groups of eyergreens may be placed, SO
as to make a pleasing variety, add beauty
of their own and effectually complete the
Withdrawing circuit In all our northern
states the northwest wind is the enemy
whose assaults must be guarded against.
But we have severe winds from the north
and northeast. and these points should also
be effectually covered.

OF roads and the building OF bridges within
the limit of the park. These roads are ex-
ceedingly narrow and numerous resolutions
have been passed petitioning the park com
mission TO make them wider In the interest
OF the public safety. great necessity
exists for new roadways, thus developing a
very large proportion of the park which re-
mains even at this late day entirely unim-
proved and growing up II Wilderness"
In speaking of the bill which is about
to be introduced to Congress for the pur-
pose of acquiring additional land to en-
large Rock Creek Park, at an estimated
cost of S135,oO0, Mr. Ramsey said II am
of the opinion that the land desired to in
crease the size of the park cannot be ac-
CURED for any such sum, and l believe
that the cost will be far in excess of that
amount Taking into consideration. how

tons from the District Commissioners rela-
tive to the extension of gas mains on
Brightwood avenue, from Umatilla street
to the District line and the extension of
Nicholson and Madison streets, North
BrightWood. The Commissioners reported
that they were endeavoring to secure cleo
trio lights on that thoroughfare, and that
as the estimates for street extension had
been sent to Congress they would include
the streets IN their next annual report. Mr..
William Moreland called the attention of
the association to the fact that a number
of people reside along Brightwood avenue,
who desire gas, but are unable to obtain it.
He said that the avenue should be lighted
on both sides with gas instead of naphtha
lamps, as at present. Serious accidents
are constantly happening continued Mr..
Moreland, and lives have been lost be-
cause of the present imperfect lighting OF
this avenue

discussion of the case under parliamentary
laws the resolution was lost and the resolu-
ton offered by Mr. Ramsay adopted. Mr.
Ramsay, In addressing the meeting, stated
that the park had cost nearly 81 200 0O0
half of which was paid by the District and
half by the United States, the title to the
property being now vested in the United
