In buying a silver watch case great care should be taken to secure one that is solid silver throughout. The cap of most cheap silvercases is made of a composition known asalbata, which is a very poor substitute for silver, as it turns black in a short time. The backs of such cases are made much thinner than those of an all silver case, being robbed in order to make the cap thicker and get in as much as possible of the cheap metal, Another important point inasilver case is the joints or hinges, which should be made of gold. Those of most cheap cases are made of silver, which is not a suitable metal for that purpose. In a brief period it warps, bends and spreads apart, allowing the backs to become loose upon the case and admitting the dust and dirt that accummulate in the pocket. The Keystone Silver Watch Cases are only made with silver caps and gold joints. } i $00. & Shoe Makers UTLER, MO. ots and Shoes made to order The | best of leather used. QD nerth side ot square.

It was the 30th of May before we sighted the coast, which appeared as a long, low line of sparkling points. Masses of heavy clouds concealed the summits, b i, the approac’ grad un- ed, revealing an counterparts in endless arr form of mountains and when the chara mounta hirty m er of the coast changed, the yn to low hills, at character for ing the unmis- acterist of ice eroded 3 Rounded bosses were seen everywhere; the tops of the hills were clean gone, and convex curves took the place of craggy forms which were seen to the south. Six weeks elapsed since leaving Cop- enhugen before we arrived at Ezedes- minde, « settlement on the south of Disko Bay, into which we were obliged to put until Jacobshzvn harbor should be clear of ice—a dismal place at that time, for every soul, Greenlanders, Danes and all, had » cough. Though it was now well getting into June, al- most the whole island on which the settlement was placed was covered with snow, and a belt of sea fretted ice was fixed all along the shore just above high water mark. Here I be- came familiarized with Greenland cur- rency and learned the value of the coins in circulation, which were mostly skillings and half skillings, equal re- spectively to about English farthings and half farthings. Silver was rarely seen and gold never, the higher values being represented by bank notes of various amounts, which were often in an indescribable state of grease and dilapidation. Thus far we had not had any pros- pect over the island ice, such glimpses as had been obtained having been in vistas closing the ends of valleys, or through occasional openings between a couple of peaks; and to gain a better general idea of its nature, before pro- ceeding, I ascended an isolated hill on the western margin, which commanded avery extensive v The morning was still and the sky cloudless, and as I gradually rose above the level of the island ice [ saw that there were the usual banks of the old snow from last winter extending all round the margin where it abutted upon the exterior land, and then came rounded, dome like slopes of hard ice, such as are common at the termination of most glaciers, containing numerous crevas- ses. This hard ice extended only a few hundred yards eastward, and then became snow covered. Beyond there was scarcely a sign of a cre mantle of pure, unsullied snow stretch- ed east, north and south, as far as the eye could see, covering everythir pletely. How far our sight exte none could say, for no one, however, experienced with suow and ice, can judge distan with accuracy on a snow field which has no marks upon it. To the north and south the mountains around the in of the island ice margi but they gave no clue as to the dis- tance seen to the cast.

This somewhat disconcerted his sable Majesty. but on recovering himself he said, “Do you know, Gordon Pasha, that I could kill you on the spot if [ liked?” rfectly well aware of it, your Ma- jesty,”’ said the pasha. ‘‘Do so at once if it is your pleasure.
