WONDERS OF A WATCH. Its Marvelous Mechanism and the Power That Moves It. We hear much from time to time of the wonders of this or that complicated and Intricate machine, but there aro few pieces of machinery more marvelous than that of the common watch. A watch, it may be stated as a general proposition, is the smallest, most delicate instrument of the same number of parts that has ever been devised. About 175 different pieces of material enter into its construction, and upward of 2,400 separate operations are comprised in its manufacture. Certain of tlie facts connected with Its performance aro well nigh Incredible when considered as a whole. A blacksmith strikes several hundred blows on his anvil in a day and. as a matter of course, is glad when Sunday comes, but the roller jewel of a watch makes every day?and day after day? 432,000 Impacts against the fork, or 157,080.000 blows during the course of a year, without stop or rest?some 3,153,000,000 blows during the space of twenty years, the period for which a watch Is usually guaranteed to keep good time. Rut the wonder of it does not cease here. It has been calculated that the power that moves the watch is equivalent to only four times the force used In a ilea's Jump. The watch power is therefore what might be termed the equivalent of a four flea-power. Ono horsepower would sutlice to operate 270,000,000 watches. Furthermore, the balance wheel of a wnten is moveu by tills four flea-power 1 43-100 inches with each vibration, or 8,558% miles continuously In one year. Not much oil Is required to lubricate the little machine on its 3,500 mflo run. It takes only one-tenth of a drop to oil the entire machinery for a year's Bcrvlce.?Harper's Weekly. Duck by Duck. An old farmer had brought twenty ducks to the market to sell and, after the usual amount of haggling inseparable from a bargain of that description, managed to dispose of the lot to a dealer. "That's 30 shillings I have to give you," said the dealer as he proceeded to count it out. But the old chap's strong point waa not arithmetic, and lie was not satisfied with this mode of payment. "Noa, noa!" lie exclaimed. "Ye bought them at wan an* six apiece, an' ye'll jlst pay for them duck by duck." And "duck by duck" it had to be.? London Scraps. How It Is Done. Returning from school the other afternoon, a little girl proudly informed her mother that she had learned to "punchtate." "Well, dear," said her mother, "and how is it done?"

Or a quivering imbecile, victim of cocaine, it will end its wretched days in a lunatic asylum. Such is the irresistable deduction to be drawn from a pamphlet issued by the bureau of chemist ry of the department of gricuturo. L. F. Kebler, chief t>f the division of drugs in tin; bureau, wrote the pamphlet, well nnhiml u I Iol>i( A a .......v..

TWO imUOfMNTi OF INFANTS Mr. Kebler. whoso chief, in turn, is Dr. Wiley, of the famous "poison squad,'' writes: Tho covovn 1 /?1ooono r\{* *?wx - ..v wv. ^ i LII v IUOOVO V/l |MW ducts will bo considered as nearly as practicable in the order in which the}' arc used, from infancy to old age.

Lest any suspicion of fear should tie aroused in the mind of the mother by the fact that tbt* presence of opium, morphine, chloroform,*cannilms indiea (better known as larkspur) or some other harmful agent is declared upon the label, the manufacturer or dealer endeavors to allay such fear by statements of tbo following character: "Contains nothing injurious' to the youngest babe;' mothers nerd not fear giving this medicine to. the youngest babe, as no bad effects come from the continued use of it." Statements of the following character were also made in connection with preparations containing morphine or opuim, or both before the food and drugs act went into effect. "This valuable remedy does not eontnin onuini nim-nti'mn I - - ' ' I laudanum, or paregoric,' and 'it, is free from harmful agents." Then the chemist names some representatives of this class of drugs with their confounds: Children's Comfort (morphine sulphate.) Dr. Fahey's Pepsin Anodyne j Compound (morphine sulphate. > i Dr. Fahev's Teething Syrup: (morphine and chloroform.)

Victor Infant Relief (chloroform and cannibas indica.) Mrs- Winslows Soothins Syrup (morphine sulphate.) Proceeding from the cradle toward the grave, the learned chemist deals with medicated "soft drinks," so called and hurls anathema thus: "It is well known that parents as a rule withhold tea and coffee from their children, but having no Knowledge of the presence of cocaine, caffeine or other deleter ions agents in soft drinks they unwittingly pevniit their childern to be harmed by their use. Manufacturers of drinks of this class,containing cocaine, have been successfully prosecuted, for example,koca mola, oele; y cola, wiaeola, -Pillsbury's koke, kola-c.de, kos-kola, cafe-coca and koke." Of alleged catrraK cures it is affirmed that no doctor, however learn 3d knows the ovnrf cause of asthma nor its treat- , ment. Chemist Kebler goes nearly as far in statement aboutcatarrh ami jts cure, then sets the ban on "Dr. Birney's Catarrh Powder," Dr. Agnew'a Catarrh Powder. Dr. Cole's Catarrh Cure" and the "Crown Catarrh Powder.'' Having analyzed these cures Mr. Kebler, with Uncle Sam's seal of approval, vows they are composed largely of "habit-forming agent." Among "cough and cold remedies" he named the following HO ..nntn!..!.... 1 .... < w...inning imr ur more naonforming drugs: Acker's English Remedy (choloroform.)

So drug additions are formed and nourished. Then, according to Mr. Kehler, arises the oppor tunity to trout the habits thus established. lie writes: 'In most instances these treatments contain the very drug, or drugs for which the treatments is advertised and sold." Hopeless. "Your store is no good, sir! I asked for Inee curtains last week, and 1 couldn't gel 'i-iii." "Indeed?" "Yes. And I asked for silk socks yesterday, and I couldn't get 'em." "That's strange." "And today I ask for credit and can't even geL that. Is this a regular store, or what?"?Toledo Blade. Paralytic Sent to Prison. No man who has ever been confined in t)w? state penitentiary i.t Frankfort, Ky. has shown greater Indifference to the clanging behind him erf the big gates than did John Huff, who was brought here from Letcher county to serve an eight years' sentence for manslaughter. Huff is a hopeless paralytic, unable to move hand or foot. He was partially paralyzed at tin trial which he was convicted and later suffered a second stroke which completely Incapacitated him. Do farmers eat the proper eort of food ? The farmer of today brys a much larger proportion of the food that goes on the table than he did ten years ago. It's a good thing that this is so because he has a great variety to select from. He should! however, use ureat care in selecting for the best results in health and strength. The widespread tendency in the cn/ to increase the amouM ol Quaker Oats eaten is due very largely to the recent demonstrations f>y scientific men that the Quaker Oats ted man is the man with greatest physical endurance and greatest mental vigor. Farmers should give this subject .careful thought and should increase the quantity of Quaker Oats eaten by themselves, their children and the (arm hands. Packed in regular size packages, and in hermetically sealed tins for h? i climates. 57 ? ?? - ? IWliy Don't II your Oil Lamps I VV hy <!(>'..
