WINDING THE CLOCK.
Follow This System and You May Get
More Accurate Time.

Follow This System and You May Get
More Accurate Time.
You cannot secure the best services
from a good watch or clock unless you
know how to wind them so as to cause
the least wear and ~irregularity In their
delicate machinery.
A watch should be wound at the
same time every day. If allowed to
run down or even almost do so and
then wound up until 1t will not wind
any further it cannot do as perfect
work as a watch hat is not allowed
to run to its full capacity or wound
up until 1t Is as tight as 1t can be
made.
If a watch is wound both morning
and evening at about the same hour
and the key is given only enough turns
to wind 1t a little less than half what
it could be wound the watch will run
more evenly, wear much longer and
keep more accurate time than If it is
wound up tight n a day.
A watch spring will last longer IL 1t
is wound when there Is the least ex-
IRENE of temperature, and morning
and evening are, of course, the best in
that respect.
1t Is more or less dangerous to wind
a watch during a heavy electric storm,
and it Is best to avoid winding while
on an electric a
An eight day clock should be wound
twice a week at as regular periods as
possible to secure the best results.
Never allow the clock to run down,
and If possible do not wind 1t until 1t
Is tight.
Learn by experience just how many
turns of the key it takes to wind the
clock to run eight days and then when
half of the week is gone wind the
clock by giving the key just half as
many turns as it would require to wind
1t all the way. More accurate time
will be had and it will avoid placing
any of the parts in a strain, which Is
frequently the cause of good clocks
giving out In some particular before
they have served half as long as they
should.
A little attention to this advice will
lengthen the life of any watch or clock
and make 1t q better timepiece.-New
York American.

A FAMOUS MIsER.
Cooke Died Wealthy After a Life of
Petty Saving and Triokery.

Cooke Died Wealthy After a Life OF
Petty Saving and T~riokery.
Thomas Cooke, known as the "Isling-
ton miser," left at his death more than
$500, 900. His whole life was n of pen
ury, petty saving and petty trickery.
He made 1t a habit In order to get
meals for nothing to fall In pretended
fit In front of a house at dinner time
and on recovering he would naturally
be invited to share the meal, which he
always did after the proper amount of
protestation. Often he would pretend
to these kind people that they had
ed his life, would make a CRED
over them and tell them be int26uS0
to remember them or their children in
his will.
One man, q poor relation, occasional
ly sent him small presents of butter.
This angered Cooke, who said to him;
why send me such driblets, you who
are to get thousands and thousands at
my death? Send me a firkin." The
ffrkin and several more were sent, but
neither this legacy nor any OF the 9th
ers came to reality.
Like many men shrewd In petty
ways, he was easily deceived In mat
tiers out of his own line. Thus once
when his horse was sick he was too
mean to pay a horse doctor and asked
advice of a quack, who told him he
must take thirty onions, drill a hole
through each, put them OF a string. put
the necklace around the horses neck
and let 1t stay there. The expense of
thirty onions was too much; he bought
fifteen, and when, after many days,
they had served their purpose, he took
them to the servant and ordered her to
make an onion porridge for the days

A New Headlight.

A novel electric fiatiron has appeared
on the market which Is provided with
a headlight. The latter consists of a
small lamp of four candle power op-
Grated at six volts. The beams of this
lamp are projected down upon the work
directly in front of the point Of the
iron and enable the operator to see
just what she is doing. The lamp is ar
ranged to burn only when current is
flowing through the iron. and for this
reason it operates as a signal to show
whether the current is turned on or off.

HAMS OF WEsTPHALIA.
Processes by Which They Are Cured
and Favored.

The famous Westphalian hams,
which are eaten without cooking, are
cured by an elaborate process that has
been worked out patiently and skill
fully by generations of expert work
men. A writer In the New York Sun
thus describes the process:
After being rubbed thoroughly with
a solution In which there T 100
pounds of salt to one pound of salt
peter, the hams are placed on cement
floors, or In watts. and thickly strewn
with salt. They lie under salt for two
weeks and then pass to a vat that con-
tains a % per cent solution of brine.
They remain In that solution for eight
cen days. Every day they IT. shift
ed In the vat; the hams on the bottom
are brought to the top, and vice versa
At the end of the eighteen days the
hams are packed, one upon another,
In a cool, dry cellar, where they re-
main for four weeks, In order to ripen
that Is, to take on color and become
tender. Then the salt is washed OF
with a stiff brush dipped in lukewarm
water, and the hams are put to soak
for twelve hours In fresh water. After
that they are ready for the smoke
house.
The smokehouses are two or three
stories high, with holes bored In the
flooring. The fires are kindled on the
ground floor, and the meat Is hung on
the second and third floors. The fires
are made entirely of beech wood, but
the workmen constantly throw juniper
berries and juniper twigs on the en-
bers. The fire burns brightly. 1t Is
checked with beech wood sawdust
whenever 1t burns too briskly.
The smoking continues for about
eight days. Under the ancient curing
methods, however, the hams were Of
ten kept in the smoke rooms for six
weeks, and 1t is by this latter method
that the best hams are still made by
the country folk of Westphalia.

Honemade Toothpowder.

An effective tooth powder which can
be always recommended is made as
follows: One ounce of precipitated
chalk, half an ounce of carbonate of
soda, half an ounce of powdered orris
root. Mix well together and pass three
times through a sieve. Place in a bot
tie or In tins until required for use.
The carbonate of soda removes the
grease from the teeth and prevents de.
cay, and the powered orris root keeps
the gums healthy.

RESIGNED to IL.

Taking oneself too seriously is sup
posed to be an American trait. At
any rate, it is found In America. The
late Edward Everett Hale In 1--WE, the
People," cites a remark of Thomas

Margaret Fuller had perhaps taken
zerself the least bit too seriously. She

CHILD WELFARE N

No garment should bind Or re-
strict the chest of your girl. The
ribs, especially in youth, are
very elastic, and much of the de-
velopment of the lungs depends
upon their f1exibility. Neglect
of proper breathing and free ex-
ercise out of doors will bring
rigid, u%nyielding walls. Unless
the chest expands readily and
properly the muscles gradually
weaken, the back becomes aged
and rounded, and the body ac-
tually suffers from malnutrition.
Such abnormalities are ac-
quired unconsciously. A girl
may fall into the habit of carry
ing one shoulder higher than the
other. or she may bend forward
at the shoulders, or there may be
a slight curvature of the spine.
In all these conditions the breath
ing space Is lessened. An Inn
proper attitude when writing or
reading will often ruin a wom-
ans figure. This Is especially
true Of q girl who is growing.
