Richmond castle was originally one
of the strongest of Norman keeps. 1t
was probably founded by Alan Rufus,
one of the sons of the Duke Of Brit
tany. who took prominent part in
the suppression of the Saxons At a
later age the castle passed into the
possession of Edmund Tudor. who
married Margaret Beaufort aud be-
came the father of Henry VII. Henry
was born Earl of Richmond. and he
bestowed the title upon the magnifi.
cent palace which when king of Eng
land he built upon the banks of the
Thames. Thus the Richmond beloved

A CURIOUS WATCH.

Some years ago the czar. hearing of
the marvellous inventive genius of a
Polish mechanic. determined to put
him to the test and accordingly caused
TO be forwarded to him a few copper
nails. some wood clippings. a piece of
broken glass, an old cracked china cup.
some wire and a few cribbage board
pegs. The box was accompanied by
the request that the Pole should trans.
form these unpromising articles into a
timepiece.
Ii was q challenge and one'that few
watchmakers would have cared TO take
up. But It would have taken harder
task than this to daun; the Pole. lie
set TO work on the unpromising ma
terials and out of them fashioned a
watch that was quickly dispatched to
the car. Just eight hours after he
began his work of transformation the
watch started on its journey to ST. Pc.

the great delight of the ear
II was most unique timepiece. It's
case being made of china and its

In Edinburgh IN 1860 tipping became
such an evil that the Society of Clerks

forbidden to take tips and members
be forbidden to give them. This ex-

societies. Today there is a rule In

Missionary and church workers play
much upon the sympathy and senti-

their weekly meetings to discuss this
feature of the church work. This is

that in our little city of Chickasha are
