THREE CURIOUS WATCHES.

A man In Switzerland has Just made
a watch entirely Of ivory obtained from
an old billiard ball Works, hands and
case are all the anne material And yet
II keeps very good time.
The first photograph watch was made
In Paris In 1897. 1t was large and
heavy, but was regarded as a great
curiosity nevertheless. Now, however,
watches that speak the hour In place
Of Ginning them are not at all uncon-

They are, says the House Beautiful,
still somewhat bulky, as compared with
the best ordinary modern chronomoters,
although not 70 much 70 but that they
can be easily carried in an ordinary

Beneath the crystal back Of a valu-
able chronometer owned By an English
tradesman six tiny gold and silver fish
with ruby eyes are seen, apparently
swimming about in real water. The
fish, Infinitely small, are beautifully
modelled, and the effect Of movement
In their natural element Is due to a
combination Of hair springs with a
background Of quicksilver.
Far more wonderful, because of its

on "tidying up"
1t Is this passion f~orarranging things
In an apparent orderliness that causes
the real conflict Of the sexes Of which
the poets tell us 90 much, according to
an English thinker. It is the sharpest
rock on which the ships Of matrimonial
happiness can split. 1t IL the fly In the
amber. not to mention the little rift
within the lutte, which widens o and
makes the music mute.
A man-and this fact cannot be too
strictly insisted on-is guided by MEM
DRY in his dealings with his books and
papers. He puts the manuscript Of bis
new novel under the tobacco far and
his pipe on the floor by the coal scut-
tie. When he next needs these things
he has a clear mental picture of their
whereabouts He goes with unerring
step and retrieves his valuables. A
woman cannot understand this. She
has a mania for arranging things. and
papers In inaccessible drawers.
Much misery is thus caused. A con-
temporary has the following piquant
passage: "As an observer Of women.
I have been much struck by the fact
hat the ONE who are most attractive

women who have poor h~ousewifeIy qua
