A FASHION FROM WAR.
How Flat Watches Took Place Of the
OId.Time "Turnips."

When the neat man takes unto HIM
self a watch as thin as parchment he
little thinks that that thin watch re-
suits from army regulations. Up to
the time OF the Allies taking Paris
the, ordinary watch was convex In
shape and called from It's outline q
"turnip." The officers Of the Russian
and other armies objected to this be-
cause its bulbous form made the uni.
form of man on parade look untidy,
whether 1t were carried In the coat or
the fob. Here In Paris, however, they
found that the watchmakers of the
Palais Royal had contrived q chro-
nometer which got over the dim
Guilty. Flat watches were the fashion
In Paris. The English when they ap.
peared in the streets of the French
capital marched in not in gala dress
such as the others wore, but in the
raiment which they had worn on cam
paign. Great was the impression
which their haMliments created. But
they at once adopted the smart fiat
watch and brought it back to England
for our own manufacturers to COPY

a farmer named Morgan Macmahon,
who lives on a small island in the
estuary Of the Shannon, took the horse
by boat to the mainland. and after
working it all day turned it loose in
the evening with a number of other
torses. When the owner awoke next
morning what was his astonishment
to find the faithful animal peacefully
grazing near its stable. 1t was wet as
from swim, and there is not the
slightest doubt that the horse had
swum all the way from the mainland
to the island, distance of little less
than three miles.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Hot or Cold Water,

1t is . debatable question whether
Il Ii 1 wise practice to drink cupful
Of hot water Immediately upon rising
every morning. The hot-water fiends
fancy that they cannot live without
their morning drink. but there are re-
liable physicians who claim that this
practice is debilitating to the stomach
and that 1t cannot fail to do injury.
The habitual use Of cold water, is an
excellent habit to form. 1t is natural
to drink cold water. Cold water is 4
tonic to the stomach, as it is to the
skin. 1t gives tonicity to the mucous
walls of the stomach. The practice Of
taking five or six glasses of cold water
. day is good one. 1t will help to
clear the complexion. brighten the
eyes, and is said to be almost a Ger.
tain remedy for puffness under the
