 | hOW hEANf AFFb<CAS WAAChs | Nobody would ever think that some thing the matter with him would cause something to be the matter with his | watch, but a watchmaker is the cause | of much uneasiness in an east end fami- | ly, and all because he insists that he | does his best with a certain watch and l that the reason it does not keep good time Is because the man who carries | 1t must have an irregular heart beat. l It came about in this wise: The head | of the family has a gold watch that | cost him $200 ten years ago. He has | carried it ever since, but a year ago 1t began to act queerly. For some days | 1t lost time, and then it began to gain | time; again it would gain time mysteri- l ously and then strangely lose a min- | ute or two 8 day It had been to the watch repairer three times In twelve l months, and was still acting irregularly | a week ago when the mans wife took | it to the matchmaker.
 T think I know what is the matter | with this watch" said the craftsman. | T don't believe that your husbands
 heart beats regularly. Now, don't get alarmed. It is not necessarily diseased. | He may be just one of those men who
 can't have watch that keeps good I time, simply because of their irregular heart beats.
 You see, a watch has a regular | maker. Tt Is carried close to the hu-
 man heart, which ought to have a regu- | lar rhythmic movement too. Now, while the watch is beating away the heart is beating also. If its pulsations occur regularly, punctuating the rhy- thm of the watch at specific ireervais, the rhythm of the watch movement is
 undisturbed; but let the heart pulsa-
 tions occur irregularly, now pulsating with the tick of the watch, again stopping discordantly in between the
 ticks, the watch is bound to be affect
 ed. Leave this watch here, and let
 your husband carry your watch. Let
 him wear 1t month and see if am not right"
 So the woman handed her husband her watch to note the result. She wanted him to consult a specialist im- mediately upon her return from the watchmaker, but he compromised by agreeing to try the test suggested by the watchmaker.-Pitts Gazette. | THINKING BETTER o FMATRIMONY. Those who keep a close watch on women's ways profess to see decided falling off in enthusiasm among the | fair sex concerning the right and op- portunity to cook and the increasing fields in which they may find chance to earn money or gain livlihood. women are tO AAiO O1P says a close student of this burning question, that work is work, after all, and that competition grows fiercer all l the time. Young women who come from the country districts with high hopes of independence and ideals about living their own life untrammeled by old traditions soon learn that 1t is struggle harder than any they might encounter at home. Then their views
 change and they begin to think much | better of matrimony as a vocation than | they did before. It will be some time before this new feeling will have much
 weight in lessening the present rush l of women into all avenues of labor, but | there will be an effort in time and the rush will subside. The shadow of in- dependence rather than the substance | is all that many women gain, and this is being slowly realized. d."-Philadel- | phia Record.
