led to explanations, and resulted in the ordering
by the stranger who had never before seen a

use of his business house in its China trade.
The great business went on, and large sums
of money were made in it. All over the world
people were buying these watches, so cheap
were they. All over the world people laughed
at the long wind" The old hacker Of the
enterprise had died; and one of his successors
felt indignant because his son in travelling in
the Waterbury he came from was the place

hopeless indebtedness the old Waterbury

who should have been its friends.

TN a small country town in
i Connecticut lived a cobbler.


He was poor man. and Pc
culiar one. The boys called him gene,
and some thought him crazy But he kept
on in the even tenor of his way, living his own
life and thinking his own thoughts One of
these thoughts was that he could make
watch that would have only three wheels.
A matchmaker out of a job heard of the
cobbler and called at his little shop. This
was the beginning of the famous Waterbury
watch, which was the first cheap watch to be
manufactured. It is now thing of the past;
but its cheap price and its remarkably long
wind" tit was a stem winder) were known
round the world.
The Waterbury was named for the town
where it was made. 1t had more than the
three wheels that the cobbler had planned;
but the little old shoemaker's idea the
original germ from which was evolved the sue
cessful cheap watch.
Having got the idea, the purchaser of the
cobblers rights found that the first difficulty in
his path was lack of money. He looked about
for man with money enough, nerve enough,
and imagination enough to lead him to render
the financial aid without which no first step
could be taken. He was found, because it
was Yankee with an indomitable will that
was looking for him.
The Money Problem
HOW much money will it take and how long
- time do you want before you can begin
to make your watches in sufficient quantities
to make the thing a SUGGEST" he inquired.
Il will be frank with YOU" replied the in
ventor. a. 1t will require twenty-five thousand
dollars, and l shall need eight months for
preparation"
Go ahead" said the daring capitalist.
He went ahead He met unexpected difficult
ties, and had spent two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars and used up twentyeight
months before he turned out a single watch.
But the capitalist never faltered. Then the
factory, for which every piece of machinery
had to be invented and specially made, turned
out its first thousand watches.
Not one of them would go! Among other
things it was found that the sheets of brass
out of which were stamped the wheels of the
watch had grain somewhat like wood. The
wheels cut out round would not stay round.
This difficulty being remedied, a second
thousand watches were made. large number
Of these went; but the percentage of stop
pers watches that refused to go) was still too
large.
New study, new experiments, however,
finally perfected the cheap little timekeepers
to the point of perfection that only about ten
per cent. were shoppers. The good watches
were tested in six positions: lying on the face,
on the back, and in four positions on the
edge. The maker Of each part stamped his
mark on the part he made: SO that if fault

GOLD FROM OCEAN SANDS.

From Shasta to San Diego, all tht
way along the shores of the Pacific
Ocean there is gold in the black sand
which, for the greater part OF the
length of the state. underlies the gray
and yellow sand OF the beach, This
has been known to mining men for
a score of years or more, but even
since they found it out they have been
completely baffled in all efforts at
getting it. So writes Harry H. Dunn
in the Technical World Magazine for
March.
The values in the sand are low, not
more than twenty-five cents per ton
and the sea washes heavily over all
manner of structures which are SET
up on the beach to separate the sand
from its gold. These were the two
principal obstacles to be overcome:
To find machine which would with
stand the storms of winter and the
tides of summer, and, at the same
time, be delicate enough to draw the
gold from the black mass OF the
beach.
At last, however, the riddle has
been solved. despite the wrecking of
one of the plants with which the
work was commenced, and a recent
clean up Of one days run of 1000 tons
of black sand paid $500 over and
above all expenses. The full value OF
the gold in the sand, could it have
been entirely removed, would have
been $3.50, the actual amount taken
out was about $235 worth, making
the cost OF handling that 1000 tons OF
sand trifle more than three cents
a ton. the cheapest mining yet known
to man.
A description of the apparatus used
to extract the gold from the sands,
follows this introduction and it is |
accompanied by photos of the ma
chine at work.

torious existance. According to tn,
old argument that whisky, used mod
erately and regularly, that is, daily
and in rational quantities, contributes
to longevity, this Missourian should
have lasted just 50 years longer, But
the truth OF the matter is that whisky,
good thing in its way and place and
unabused, has but mighty little bear
ing on any mans life, if that life be
clean and wholesome and sanitary
and honest. These elements have far
more to do with ripe old age than
any guzzling habit ever heard of.
Whisky, as it is known and used in
this age, is a worse curse than any
thing else, because it leads to all
other desperate evils and habits.

CATARRH A GERM DISEASE.
Success Of Hyomei Guaranteed By
T. F. Laurin.

Catarrh is an insidious disease OF
most destructive tendency. Its ap-
proaches are unalarming and its Wit
tins are we'll on the road to chronic
stage or to dread consumption before
they realize their danger.
1t is not blood disease, but is
caused by germs that lodge and grow
in the air passages, causing irritation
with poisonous and offensive mucous
discharges. To cure this condition,
stomach dosing is ineffective and the
only healing agent is Hyomei. 1t
goes directly to every nook and cor
ner Of the air passages, disinfecting,
healing and curing. To be convinced
of this, you have only to give Hyomei
a trial, and T. F. Laurens will sell you
an outfit with the understanding that
if the trial is not satisfactory, and the
treatment does not relieve, your
money will be refunded.
You cannot afford to trihe with ca
tarrhal troubles, for if neglected they
grow worse and the annoyance and
danger rapidly increases. It is best
to use Hyomei at the first symptoms
of catarrh, such as stoppage Of the
nase, offensive breath, raising Of
mucous, droppings in the throat,
spasmodic coughing. The sooner you
use Hyomei, the sooner you will be
freed from all these troubles.

THE 0D0R OF sANcITY.
A French Writer'S Theory Of How u
May Be Exuded by Man.

DR.. Georges Dumas is the author OF
an article in the Revue dc Paris on
"The Odor OF Sanctity," The writer
accepts as true the numerous reported
instances of saints and mystics Of the
Catholic church whose bodies after
death or during moments Of ecstasy
emitted peculiarly pleasing odors Of
various kinds. Then men and women
with whom such legends deal. argues
DR.. Dumas. were neurasthenes. and II
Is not impossible that the aroma OF
sanctity which surrounded them was
the product Of strictly physiological
and chemical changes common to all
men. but present In highly intensified
form In subjects who. so to speak
burned up the candle OF their existence
at an unusually rapid rate. He says In
part:
$50 far, then. we have come across
great variety Of perfumes-cinnamon
Glove. orange. pineapple. rose. violet
lily OF the valley, yellow amber and
benzofn. Now. the natural constitu-
tion Of all Of these is well known. and
chemistry produces them daily for COM
mercial purposes. We may therefore
substitute the equivalent chemical ex-
pressions for the ordinary terms we
have employed and say that orange,
cinnamon. violet and musk owe their
perfume to aldehydes and acetones.
aromatic liquids derived from the alco-
hols, just as the artificial essence of
pineapple comes from butyric ether.
We have, then, to ask whether the hu.
man body can produce odorous com
pounds Of the kind we have mentioned
and under what conditions. As mat
ter Of fact 1t does produce a certain
number Of such compounds in the de-
struction Of organic matter, which Is

nutrition of the tissues and the same

UNPREPAREDNESS.

The Secretary OF War for tn,
United States has publicly declared
the unpreparedness of this countr,
for war. This is significant, author
ity, fact and peril. -
1t is all very we'll to arrogantly as
sert our resources; to say that we
have men and money and factories
skill and credit and patriotism; if we
have not TIME, which is the funda-
mental basis of all preparedness, then
we are unprepared in the worst sense
of the word.
The country is not so long free
from an engagement, which, had it
been with country more modern,
and better equipped, than Spain, we
might be deploring graver issues than
remain to us from that war.
What scheme Of preparation shall
ensue we know not; but we do know
that the Pacific Coast must be in
corporated in it to a vast and imme-
date degree, and that the mouth of
the Columbia must figure largely as
one of the potent integrals of that
program. The quiesence of the years
has put this important post and
harbor out OF the running; but war
on the Pacific will make it indispen-
sable and the government MUST
make it impregnable. Time is of the
essence of all engagements as well as
contracts and when Uncle Sam begins
to furbish up and get in line for
Pacific war he will not be likely to
overlook so stragetic a point as this,
because it stands for huge range Of
territory and millions Of people and
other millions of property.

For Consumptivea

A specialist of q noted Eastern clinic
gives the following formula as the best
known formula for consumption;
Mix two ounces Of glycerine with
eight ounces Of good whiskey and add
half ounce Of Concentrated oil Of
pine. Take teaspoonful or q table
spoonful every four hours.
Care should be taken TO get the real
Concentrated oil Of pine. which comes
only in one-half ounce vials sealed in
round air-tight screw-top cases. The in.
gradients can be procured at any drug
store. The above formula will also cure
bad coughs and colds very quickly.

THE POLITICAL SEASON.

The whole country, including As
toria, of course, is entering upon an
other political season, and the tur-
moil, jealousies, realignments and bit
ternesses, always unacceptable, are
upon us. New men, new policies, old
ambitions, fresh aspirations; tricks,
lies, promises, pledges, schemes and
counter schemes, old "bed-fellows,"
"dark-horses," new leaders and old
counsellors; all the hub-bub, confu-
sion, doubt, treachery, loyalty, parti-
sanry, that make for dirt and disaster
and disappointment, and leave pre-
cinct, town, city, county, state and
nation but fraction, if any, ahead Of
the interminable game. This is what
is upon us, what we have got to go
through, subscribe to, and swear we
are satisfied with.
American politics, as practiced to-
day, has but little to inspire great
men or great aims; the dollar, and
the personal unit, are about all that
loom large in the cult; and while we
are not without great national ends
to be served, and conserved, we are
miserably minus the honest stimulus
of hardy purpose and high resolves in
the practice of Our electoral work.
But the drudgery must be met and
dispensed, with as good grace as frag.
mentary hope can inspire and the
only compensation to be relied on is
that out of the interminable list of
successes at the polls of the year,
some great and good man will find
himself in position to compel the
better thought and healthier activity
of his fellows in the right work of
the nation
