Siritered 20 Years. A WATCH IS A WONDER. u :/-7 ■■ js W RS. MARY LEWIS, wife of a prozni- 1% u nent farmer, and well known by all c j£ residents near Belmont, N. Y,. writes: “Pc, twenty-seven years I had been a constant so. fferer from nervous prostra tion, and paid large sums of money for doc tors and advertised remedies without bene fit. Three years ago my condition was alarming; the least noise would startle and unnerve ms, 7_ was unable to sleep, had a number oi sinking spells and slowly grew worse.

Notice the busy little balance wheel as it flies to and fro unceas ingly, day and night, year m and year out. This wonderful little machine is the result of hundreds of years of study and experiment. The watch carried by the aver age man is composed of 98 pieces, and its manufacture embraces more than 2,000 distinct and sep- erate operations. Some of the smallest screws aTe so minute that the unaided eye cannot distinguish them from steel filings or specks of dirt. Under a powerful magni fying glass a perfect screw is re vealed.

C, Probably the oldest copy book for home lessons in arithmetic was recently unearthed in Egypt, the papyrus, which was found in excellent condition, dates from the period about 1700 B. C.—that is about 100 vears before the time of Moses, or almost 3,600 years ago. It prove, fhs-i i: the Egyptians had a thorough' knowledge of elementary mathematics almost to the extent of our own, The papyrus has a long heading, “Direction hove to attain the knowledge of all dark things.” etc. Numerous examples show tiiaL ineir principal opera tions with entire units and frac tions were made by means of addi tion ana liiuitipication. Sub tractions and divisions were not known in their present form, but correct results were obtained nev er themes. Equations are also found in the papyrus. Among the examples given 3.3 this one: Ten measures of barley are ic be divided among ten persons in such a manner that each subsequrnt person receives one-eighth of a measure less than the one before him. Another ex ample given is: There are seven men, each one hack seven cats, each cat had eaten seven mice, each mouse had eaten seven grains of barley. Each grain of barley would, if cultivated, have yielded seven measures of barleys How much barley has been lost in that way? The papyrus also contains calculations oi area, the calcula tion of the area of a circle and its tranformation into a square, and finally calculations of the cubic measurements of pyramids. When the children have earache, warm a few drops of Dr. J. H. McLean's Volcanic Oil Liniment on a' teaspoon and drop it into the ear. The effect will be magical, it stops the pain in stantly.

The hairspring is a strip of the finest steel, about 9| inches long, 1-100 inch wide, 27-10,000 inch thick, it is coiled up in spiral form and finely tempered.* The process of tempering these springs -was long held as a secret by the fortu nate ones possessing it, and even now it is not generally known. Their manufacture requires great skill and care. The strip is guaged to 20-100 of an inch, but no measuring instrument has as yet been devised capable of fine enough gauging to determine beforehand by the size of the strip what the strength of the finished spring will be. A 20-1,000 part of an inch difference in the thickness of the strip makes a difference in the running of about six minutes per hour. The value of these springs when finished and placed in watches is enormous m proportion to the ma terial from which they are made. A comparison will give you a good idea. A ton of steel made up into hairsprings when in watches is worth more than 12% times the value of the same weight in pure gold. Hairspring wire weighs 1-20 of a grain to the inch. One mile of wire weighs less than half a pound. he balance gives five vibrations every second, 300 every minute, 18,000 every hour, 432,000 every day and 157,680,000 every year. At each vibration it rotates about 1% times which makes 197,000,000 revolutions every year. Take for, illustration, a locomotive with 6 Tootdriving wheels. Let its wheels be run until they have covered a distance equal to 28 complete cir cuits around the earth. All this a watch does without other attention than winding once every 24 hours.— Jewelers 5 Review. consciously among those who were to be baptized, the old parson mis took him for one of the converts, and seized him by the arm and led him into the water. “He began to protest: ‘Ho-ho- hold on, p-p-p-parson, y-y-y.-you’re ma-ma-making a mi-mi-mistake.’ ‘Don’t be alarmed, my son, but come right in,’ said the parson. And he lead him to the middle of the stream. The poor fellow made one final desperate effort: ‘P-p-p- parson, 1-1-1-let me explain.’ But the parson coldly said: ‘Close your mouth and eyes, my son.’ And he soused him m the water. After he was Thoroughly baptized the old parson led him to the bank, the muddy 7 -water trickling down his face. He was ‘diked’ in his new seersucker suit and when the sun hit it it began to draw up. The legs of his trousers drew up to his knees; his little sack coat yanked up under his arms, and as he stood there trembling and shiv ering, a good old sister approached him and, taking him by the hand, said: ‘God bless you, my son; how do you feel?” Looking in his agony at his blushing sweetheart behind her fan, he replied in his anguish: ‘I f-f-f-feel 1-1-1-like a d-d-d-durned f-f-f-fool.’ ”—From Bob Tavlor’s Savannah Lecture. generally falls to the duties of the hands which the child is not able to do with his toes.

Mr. James Jones of the drug firm of Jones & Son, Cowden, Ill., in speaking of Dr. King’s New Discoyery, says that last winter his wife was attacked with LaGrippe and her case grew so serious that physicians at Cowden and Pana could do nothing for her. It seemed to develop into hasty consumption. Hav ing Dr. King’s New Discovery in store, and selling lots of it, he took a bottle home, and to the surprise of all she began to get better from the first dose, and a half-dozen dollar bottles cured her sound and well.

YEARS’ EXPERjEMCE Ralph Walpo Emerson once told a good story of a friend who always carried in his pocket a horse chestnut as a protection against rheumatism, just the same as other people wear shields and other specifics. Emerson thus testifies to the results of his friend’s case: “He has never had the rheumatism since he began to carry it, and indeed it appears to have had a retrospective op era tion—for he never had it before.” When old Zachariah Fox, the great merchant of Liverpool, was asked by what means ho had con- ! trived to realize so large a fortune as he possessed, his reply was : “Friend, bv one article,in which thou ma3 7 st deal, too if thou pleas es!—civilitv. ”—Golden Days.
