World Manufacturing Co., Nassau street, N. Y. s (Continued from last week.) How Watch Cases are Made. The many great improvements intro- ‘wed in the manufacture of the Jas. Boss’ Gold Watch Case, have led to similar im- Movements in the making of silver cases. Under the old methods, each part of a ‘yer case was made of several pieces of adal soldered together, requiring a great mount of cutting and soldering, which uitened the metal and gave it the pliability lead rather than the elasticity of silver. Under the improved methods, each part athe Keystone Silver Watch Case is made fone solid piece of metal hammered into ape. The advantages are readily appar- at for every one knows that hammering ‘anlens the metal while soldering softens it. To test the superiority of the Keystone ver Watch Case, take one of 3 oz. weight, esit squarely in the center when closed, ad it will not give, while a case of same ¥ight of any other make will give enough threak the crystal. The Keystone Silver Watch Case is made only with silver cap ad gold joints.

Metaphysics ‘We Do It and What We Suffer Therefrom. A picnic at best is a penance, every adult involuntarily performs for some foneo be sin, and, however ben- ¢ is chastisement may be, there is but one feature that makes a day in the woods tolerable, snd that is the | dinner or mid-day lunch. A man will goa long way and endure ao vast ; @mount of uncomfortableness for a 4 { { { | ‘ood, savory meal. But if that repast is insufficient and unpalatable the pic- nic is a failure that the ordinary run of events will scarcely redeem. As arule the women folks prepare the lunch, and as arule it is a wofui failure. The first thing they do is to bake a lot of cakes and a stack of pies. Their neighbors do the same, ‘so do the sisters, and the cousins, and the aunts’’; cookies and tarts are legion; a few glasses of currant jelly are selected and the smallest bottle of new jam is offered up. The result is that the pic- nic is too sweet for anything; choco- late cake and cherry pie pall on the pal- ate, while the stomach Redeees fora slice of good, clean bread and butter, 5 piece of beeksteak, and a cup of cof- lee. Pastry will do well enough to finish a meal on, but a little should be made to goalong way. It may please and satisfy the children, but it won’t do for people of sound sense and good health, nor for many men of any description. There is really no use for this prodi- gality of sweets, and if the dear ladies were reasonable in the matter there are dozens of good things with which to make up the lunch basket that would be both refreshing and healthful. In hot weather there is some danger in drinking much water. Lemonade is a beverage that meets with little op- position and is both cheap and easily made. The lemons be cut in quar- i carried in a tin box or caddy. at the picnic grounds, a pail i secured. Fill a cup fluid, squeeze one , add sugar to suit ise half a lemon. terers now have tea frappe, iced . packed in These orders d very much to t meal. nes cut the bread breaking. purpose a ts loaf a day old is preferable to home-made, which, if not too dry, is sure to be too soft to Remove all the crust, let the ness be less than an eighth of an inch, and cut in circles, squares, ob- longs, diamonds, or any figure fancy may dictate. See that the pieces fit exactly, for a neat sandwich has 50 per cent more flavor to it than a shaggy, irregular one. Don't use fibrous veal, fat ham, nor lumpy chicken. Mutton and beef are too tough ever to be used. We are mindful that corned beef is ten- der, but after meat has been boiied from three to five hours it has just about as much flavor and nutrition in it as fresh shaving. Tongue makes a rood sandwich if well dressed, but the ressing is mussy and that is a condi- tion to be avoided. People are adverse to deviled ham, not only on account of its triching scare, but also because, like hash, it is considerable of a riddle. Chicken salad makes as good a sandwich as can be suggested. Make that dish to suit the taste, put plenty of chopped pickle or pickle lily in it, and complete the dish by a copious amount of salad dressing with or without oil. When sufficiently wet, cover a piece of bread ly, nnd sparingly enough to be neat, tit the other piece down, and you have as toothsome a sandwich the late Delmonico ever made. should have been stated that rz unt of butter should be used on the bread. If they are be very very good, and a large supply will be needed, for two hungry boys can get outside of adozen very easi Another delicious sandwich can _be made with pate de foie gras, which should be spread on a thin slice of soft pliable bread that can be rolled or doubled up like a lady-finger. Ineither case the crust must be removed and the cylindrical sandwich tied at both ends with a water-cress. This is very appetizing, and can only have one fault —scarcity. Aether sandwich that will be put to flight at sight is the sardine sandwich. Circular pieces of bread sparingly but- tered are made the background for three sardines which are coaxed to- gether and made to lie in from the edge. Very thin slices of lemon from which seeds, skin, and rind have been removed are placed on to No bread covers it. Pieces of oiled paper sepa- rate these one-sided sandwiches which may be piled up ina box or hamper. No cold lunch is complete without olives, sweet. pickles, or pickled peaches. Fruit of some kind should be served after each course, and there is nothing nicer than a few good figs, in order to serve the more juicy fruits for dessert. Bananas are nice cut in thin slices and served with sugar and cream. For meats, game is always agreeable, especially when bruised and | fried in crumbs. - Patties, too, are pal- atable, and a salad of some kind is in- dispensable. variably select ices or Roman punch, since the fruit acid they contain are | more desirable than the insipid sweet- ness of creams, rouches and jellies. of Picknicking—Why | which | When creams are left to | the caterer’s judgment these artists in-| | | courses, and if all the merry-makers are hot prohibitionists, a champagne frappe with a biscuit will be found de- licious. 2 A Right Smart Bull-Paup. Two dog fanciers were discussing the one of them said: _ ‘‘Bull-pups is no good; yercan’t learn em nuthin’.”’ “Taint so. I've gota bull-pup that'll | fetch an’ carry anything. im so he'll carry off a chunk uv raw beef an’ bring it back agin.”’ “Betcher he wont” The money was put up, the dog was called, and the meat given him. Now, Tige,”’ said the owner, “take it out-doors, that’s a good doggy, an’ when I calls yer come in agin, an’ show the gentleman wot yer can do.” The dog went out with the meat in hismouth, and presently his owner called, ‘‘Tige, Tige; here, Tige,"’ and he came back wagging his tail and licking his chops. “Gimme them stakes!’ shouted the other fellow; “I tole yer yer couldn't learn a bull up nuthin’. He hain’t brung it back.’ “Go slow, mister. I reckon Ill take them cases myself. I didn’t say how the pup'd fetch that meat back, did I?”” “No; but yer see he hain’t brung it.” “He hez, too, an’ it’s on the inside uv him, in course. Yer didn’t think the dang pup hadn’t sense enough to clamp on to 8 good thing when he got a chance, did yer? Bull pups is smart, I'm a tellin’ yer.’"—Merchant Traveler. In 1883 Great Britain had 550 war vessels, France 356, the United States 139, and Germary not quite 100. Great Britain has 4,980 naval officers, France 6,649, the United States 2,033, and Ger- many 682. The British navy costs $51,- 800,000 a year, the French $41,000,000, the American $16,100,000, and the Ger- man $11,164,000.

Per- haps the first attitude they strike will in nine cases out of ten be impossible to do them justice, simply because they can’t see themselves, and either have cheir chin too high or too low. You then put the rest against their heads, ask them to raise their chin and look acertain way. This has s won- derful bad effect; it tears them all to pieces. And now comes in the soft, pleasirg palaver that must restore the subjects and make them regain their every-cay action and naturalness. The ggxeat idea is to make them forget that the cherished attitude and Ajax-defy- ing-ligatning look which they had been practidng on for weeks had been de- stroyed, and a modern, every-day style substituted. Todo this requires talk. The slight-of-hand man talks all the time t distract attention; the artist must talk to attract the mind so as to forget :he ideal picture. «In some cases, though, of course, I have litle trouble. Fastidious young men ard gay, dashing belles are very hard tc please, and will make you take their pctures over a dozen times if you happer to bring in clear outline some peculiw ruffle or article of jewelry attached to their person.
