RIGHT WAY TO WIND WATCH

A man who repairs watches says :
"Neyer get into the habit of hold

always hold the watch and wind the
stem. If you will try both ways you
will find that you have bad habit.
Moreover, wind the watch as nearly
as possible at the same time every

PRETTY Heavy Umbrellas.

The great objection TO umbrellas 100
years ago was their weight. and when
1t is stated AS matter Of fact that the
very smallest umbrella then weighed
no less than three and a half pounds it
will probably be admitted that the OBJ
lection was justitiable one. Instead
of the thin rainproof fabrics which
now form the covering of umbrellas
nothing better was known than leather
or oilcorh The ribs were of wood or
whalebone. and such thing as steel
rod was. OF course. unknown. The
stick was usually Of heavy oak. In
those days. too. many umbrellas had

SEX AND LONGEVITY.
Woman Has the Better of Man In the
Term of Life.

Woman Has the Better of Man In the
Term of Life.
1t is a we'll known fact, proved over
and over again In vital statistics. that
the term of life Of women IS slightly
longer than that Of men. Just why
this Is so has never been explained sat
isfactorily. One fact. however. Is clear,
and that Is that during early years fe-
males possess u greater tenacity Of life
than do males.
The difference of the mortality rates
during the first few years Of life Is
striking. During the first year the
mortality among males is decidedly
greater than among females.
Although more boys are born than
girls. the proportions are reduced to al
most even terms at the end Of the first
year by the excessive male mortality.
Even during the first four years the
mortality among males exceeds that
among females. notwithstanding the
fact that there are practically no dis.
tinctions made In the management or
the two sexes. Both are subject to the
same conditions. are dressed virtually
the same and receive the same food.
At the age of about five years the
comparative death rate among girls be-
gins to increase This has been at
tributed to the fact that boys of this
age are more In the open air. The
mortality In both sexes diminishes
from this time until the twelfth year.
when it attains its lowest point 1t
then steadily rises. being larger in each
successive year Between the twelfth
and sixteenth years the death rate
among girls increases more rapidly
than among boys, but after the six.
teenth year for several years the rate
of increase is more rapid on the male
side.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch

ASTRONOMICAL CLOCKS.
Many Precautions Are Taken to Insure
Their Accuracy.

Many Precautions Are Taken to Insure
Their Accuracy.
To the average person an astronomi-
cal clock is a complicated affair, CIV
ing the date. day of the week. phases
of the moon and other miscellaneous
information. The facts are far other
wise. There Is no clock so simple as
that of the astronomer. Even the con-
venient plan of having the hour and
minute hands mounted at the same
center is abandoned. because it makes
q more Intricate form Of wheel work
necessary, says the Louisville Courier
Journal. The observatory clock has
separate dial for each hand, the CEN
ters of the second hand, minute hand
and hour hand being In a straight line
and equally distant from each other.
To secure accuracy further precau-
tions are taken. Only men who have
attained worldwide fame in mechan-
ical construction are employed. The
chronometer must be mounted, not on a
wall that vibrates, but upon a strong
pier of masonry having a solid founda-
ton; also it is best placed underground
in q cellar to secure for 1t a tempera-
ture as nearly uniform as possible. for
clocks do not run quite the same in hot
weather as they do in cold.
By adjusting metal that has the
singular property of contracting under
heat 1t is possible to overcome the va
ration In n measure. but the astrono-
mer prefers to provide for his clock
temperature practically the same the
year round. The going Of fine clock
Is further affected. strange as 1t may
seem. by barometric pressure. The
running is different when the barome-
ter is high from what it Is when low;
hence the best clocks are now tnclosed
in air tight cases to protect them from
outside barometric changes.

MACARONI DANDIES.
Grotesque Fashions In England In the
Eighteenth Century.

Grotesque Fashions In England In the
Eighteenth Century.
Dandyism developed a new phase Of
quiet richness during early Georgian
times. and the court exquisites were
stately figures in finely laced shirts,
long skirted coats and gold clocked
stockings. The hats worn by the
beau were modified reproductions OF
those In fashion at Versailles, and the
art of wearing them was shown in
the tilt. In fact, different angles in
the tilt identified the wearers status
and locality.
In 1772 dandyism became again par
amount band of young bloods re-
turned from an extended tour abroad.
and while in Italy they had contrived
to get several new ideas about dress
into their somewhat empty heads.
Fired with an ever growing sense Of
their own importance as arbiters Of
fashion. they formed themselves into
group known as the Macaroni club. In
contradistinction to the good old fash
ioned Beefsteak club Of London.
The Macaronies dressed their hair
In enormous side curls. with hideous
knocker-like twist at the back. With
this exaggerated coiffure a tiny hat
was worn. which 1t was correct ttr
the wearer to raise with his tasse,e't
cane.
A soft white handkerchief was tied
In a huge bow under the Macaroni's
chin. His coat was short. and his
tight knee breeches were made Of
striped or lowered silk. Thus garbed.
