Charms, medals impregnated with
virtue by ecclesiastical benedlction,
and so-called electric and gaivanic
belts. pads, rings, and other appli-
ances are sold by thousands; and pat
ent panaceas, compounded of drugs
brought from strange lands or dis
covered in some unusual way, are
bought and used by millions OF credu-
lous and afflicted persons in ali parts
of the world.
In view of these facts II is not re-
markable that one occasionally finds
in the United States, as well as in
secluded ercts Of the Old World, re-
qions in which superstitious medical
practices. handed down from father
20 son for no one knows how many
hundred years, not only survive, but
also show an astonishing degree OF
vitality. Such a region, writes DR..
John Hawkins, in the Popular Scienca
Monthly, occurs in the central part
Of South Carolina.
If the practice Of the Carolina users
of the present day could be witnessed
by Egyptian physicians OF four thous-
and years ago by Druid priests from
the Gaul described by Caesar, and by
American Indian medicine men from
the time oE Columbus, it would appear
to all of them a perfectly natural and
philosophical method OF treatment,
however unintoligible the Ian
guace of the formulas might be.

CRAZE FOR ANTIQUE WATCHES
Counterfeits Made So Ingeniousiy a.
to Deceive the Connoisseur.

Considerable deception has been
practiced on the unwary by the sale
OF so-called antique watches. 1t Is a
common thing for the expert horolO-
gist to find ordinary modern watches
set in manufactured antique cases.
Some Of these counterfeits are SO in
geniOusly made as to deceive even
the watch cOnnoisseur.
There are certain marks, however,
which serve as fair guide to the au-
thenticity of an antique watch, and
the following hints will be useful in
determining the age and value OF Old
watches:
According TO the authorities, the
first watch was invented about the
year 1900. The original pocket time
piece was cylindrical in shape and
made entirely Of iron, including me
plates, pinions, wheels and pillars.
Watches OF oval form did not appear
earlier than about 1850. Most of them
date back to the period around loo.
1t is probable that there were no
watches decorated with enamel before
1892.
The balance spring was inyen,ed
about the year 1858, but was not exIen-
sively employed until 1890. Repeat
iny watches were not invented before
1873. Watches with alarm attach
monts were carried in the sixteenth
century.
The minute hand was introduced
only with the use OF the balance
spring and consequently is not me-
with until the end Of the Seventeenth
century. Notwithstanding the fact
that the cylinder escapement was In
vented in 17l0, it is found only in isO~
lated cases in the eighteenth century.
Almost all timepieces until the be-
ginning Of the nineteenth century
were vertical watches. Watches hav-
ing chased cases did not make their
appearance before the beginning Of
the eighteenth century.
"Ouatre colours" cases are not found
before the year 1890, watches with
gongs not before 1880. Watches with
movable figures on the dial and musi-
cal watches occur only around the
eighteenth century. Watches set
with pearl came into vogue in abou.
the same period.

The slow Gordon Setter.

Years ago the Gordon setter was
quite a favorite and much in use by
spcrtsmen OF this country. In later
years, however, this really good dog
was displaced in greater part by the
pointer and Tnglish setter.
The Gordon, says Ed F. Haberlein,
in Dogdom, is the largest and heaviest
Of all bird dogs, more clumsy and usu-
ally slow. Where most hunting is
done in woodland and thickets and
slow working dog is needed so as not
to get lost almost continually he nils
the bill well-works close to gun, has
good nose, is steady on point, and, il
properly trained, a very good retriever
from land and water
The Gordon is easily trained and
retains his training well, is also OF
good pleasant disposition and admira-
BILE companion. At this age, however,
when so very much stress is laid on
speed and wide lange, the Gordon is
not in it because he is a slow potter
ing dog as a rule.

Cermanic Pcrfumery.

The German perfumery industry
is growing steadily, and gains GUS
toners who formerly dealt exclusive
ly in French and English perfumery.
During the period OF commercial
treaties. the export of German per-
fumeries has largely increased.
While for 1891 the exports OF soaps
and perfumeries amounted TO but
nine million marks. or two million
dollars. they had grown 10 about II,
100000 marks in 1899. And since
II n, the gain every year has been
noteworthy. The value OF the per-
fumery exported last year was equal
to the combined export of perfumery
and soaps in 1899.
tbs large increase dates from
1895. Perfumery of German make
has met with favor In England, IN
British Africa. in India, In Holland,
Russia, Austro-Hungary. Turkey.
Egypt. China. Chile and Australia.
The chemical odors and artificial
ethereal oils OF German manufacture
have greatly Injured the French
bowcr-feid industry, as the prices
for the artificial odors are much less
than those of the natural ones.
The showing In the export OF Ger
man toilet soaps Is less favorable
mainly, II is claimed. on account OF
The low prices created by lively COM
petition. Besides there etill exists
popular prejudice in favor OF
French and English toilet soaps. Still
I the exports OF toilet soaps in 1906
are compared with those of 1891, a
great gain is observed, viz; 1852 tons
in 1891 against 5G24 tons in 1906.

That evening Jessup hailed King.
"Hello!" he said. "How's the lawn

Well" said Killing, I'D have had

any good"
NO good. eh?" said Jessup.
Its just piece of old junk" said
King. Fierce! The blades inter
fere and the cogs are about worn
out, to say nothing of the bearings.
You'd think from the noise it makes
that II might do something, but
could bite the grass of quicker and
evener If / had good teeth"
See here!" said Jessup, mad der
than hops. "A man told me you

him and tell him he was right. Why

Don't get excited, said KING,

you"
You'll tell re nothing" said Jes
sup. You so much as open your
mouth to talk to me again and I'll
choke you. You bring that mower
around inside Of half an hour or
you'll see trouble"
Then he walked away.
He never spoke to Killing until a.
bout a month ago. Jessup can't bear
malice. And is was misunderstand-
Ing after all.
"TIe explained 1t all to me- said
Jessup. 81 forgot one evening and
nodded to him on the train and he
came over and sat by me. He said
the mower really was a pretty good
one and he was obliged to me for
the loan of it. The reason be spoke
so of it was that as had another he
thought | might want TO sell this.
He was. in fact. about TO make me AL

I'm afraid I'd be deprivins you,
said king. But I'll be much OBJ

II there's anything else you need
don't be afraid 10 ask for 1t. said
Jessup, not ironically. but meaning
il. Any one can borrow Jesup
tools. King couldn't think OF any
thing else. though, just then, except
a rake, which he took at the same
time he took the mower.
he kept that mower two weeks
and never MADE any sort OF motion
toward returning II. In the mean
time Pooley came around and SAID
his lawn was getting pretty ragged
and he'd be glad OF the loan of Jes
sup's machine. Jessup had already
lent his new one to Green. however
But there's the one had last year,
he said. That's really better one
than the new one. Neighbor Klini
has got that"
"Darned If I'd lend him anything,

They were taught to regard the dilat-
