from this plain-spoken remonstrance:
THE practice began with Zapata.
He was paid off several times, and

Besides that. after all he has said
about the military cruelties Of General

THE CARE OF A WATCH

A man who repairs watches says:
Never get into the habit of holding
the stem and winding the watch; al
ways hold the watch and wind the
stem. If YOU will try both ways YOU
Will find that You have a bad habit.
Moreover, wind the watch as nearly
as possible at the same time every
day. It Is bad for a timepiece to be
wound too frequently or to be allow.
cd to run down entirely.
AT night either hang the watch up
small watchstands are made for the
purpose. or a tiny yet firm brass hook
on the wall will do as well-or, IL
YOU lay 1t down, see that there is some
soft article upder it. Above all. do
not keep it in a too hot or too cold
place, In spite of all the watchmak-
ers will tell you about the tempera-
ture tests to which their wares have
been subjected.
Ladies should not carry a watch
o In a bag. If neither chatelaine
nor chain is possible with the gown
You are wearing, pin the watch firmly
under Your dress. The leather wrist
band with the watch set into II ia had

bump against everything you touch.
About once a year send your watch
to be cleaned and regulated. Handle
1t carefully otherwise and It will be

Between 1870 and 1879 the total

United states was $1,000 barrels. This
does not include output figures for

a little more than 10000 barrels in

If nine trains, each ten miles long,
