Weary Watches,

II suppose said the matchmaker,
you do not know that watches, like
human beings, sometimes don't 'go' for
the very good reason that they are
1ired. Sometimes a watch is brought
to me which is all right. Nothing about
IL Is out of order, and it is fairly clean.
When it becomes sulky and refuses to
go except by fits and starts the best
thing to do is to lay it aside and give it
rest. The mechanism in a tired
watch seems to be in perfect condition,
But it won't work. The fact is that
long and faithful service has thrown
q slightly out of adjustment In perhaps
len different places. Scraping and
cleaning and readjusting fine watch
Is the worst thing that could be done
to it. A months rest will instead cause
zhe works slowly to readjust them
selves, and at the end of that time
after careful oiling the watch will go
as cheerfully as ever."-Washingto

six years Of age was a prima donna
Of the nursery. When I had been put
to bed on my return home with my
father and mother from the opera

then would hop out from beneath the

Tar and Oil-Good Results of Oi1ing.
The war department and the depart
ment of agriculture are to experiment
with oil and tar on a section Of Wash
ington roads. The work will be under
the direction of the road office Of the
department Of agriculture, and the
war department will furnish the roads.
says the Washington Star. Both oil
and tar will be tried, and probably
mile of each will be treated. The
stretch used will be either the dusty
stretch Of Seventeenth street below the
war department or part Of the Poto-
mac boulevard or both.
The use of oil in road work is new In
Washington, so that the experiments
will be watched with some interest.
But there are other sections where the
use Of oiled roads has been kept up for
years, and the practice has spread over
most Of California, where the people
are quite enthusiastic over the results
in the past eight or nine years. The
work was commenced in 1893 in Cali
fornia, where petroleum is cheap, and
was tried at first in limited way on
stretch of about six miles simply to lay
fhe dust which was not only a great
nuisance in the long, rainless sum-

mers, but injured orchards and fields
for a considerable distance on each
side Of the road.
The result Of oiling the roads as soon
as the authorities got the right method
was more than to lay the dust. 1t was
found that not only was the road dust
less, but that the oil became incorpo
rated with the surface and made 4
good binding crust from one to three
inches deep.
The roads stood wear and water well,
and after a number Of severe rain
storms that cut the unoiled macadam
roads to pieces the oiled roads were
found in as good condition as ever.
The practice in California extended till
now there are about 750 miles of roads
and streets that have been oiled for
from one year upward.
