(Continued from last week.) How Watch Cases are Made. A plate of soxmp Gop 14 2-10 karats fine is soldered on each side of a plate of hard nickel composition metal, and the three are then passed between polished steel rollers. From this plate the various parts of the cases—backs, centers, bezels,ete. are cut and shaped by dies and formers. The gold is thick enough to admit of all kinds of chasing, engraving, and engine- turning. The composition metal gives it needed strength, stiffness and solidity, while the written guarantee of the manufacturers warranting each case to wear twenty years proves that it contains all the gold that can possibly be needed. This guarantee is given from actual results, as many of these cases have been worn perfectly smooth by years of use without wearing throug! the gold. Dusvgre, La., Dec. 14, 1880.

Court had just closed There was not a rail- road in the state ot Alabama at that | time, and the officers and lawyers ot | the district ‘took the roun:is’’ either | i on horseback or in buggies. 3 Judge Cannon, and an elderly at- torney whom I shall call Jonas, trav- eld together in a buggy, drawn by a} pair of large mules. Jonas was rath- er an efteminate looking man, desti- tute of beard, and almost bankrupt in the matter cranial foliage. What little he had grew along the lower edges of his dome ot thought, while the upper precincts were as barren as the Staked Plains.

With his hat on, did present a particularly eccentric Jonas not | ap- pearance, but when seen for the Srst | time bare-headed, he was really a | mirth provoking object.
