How Watch Cases are Made.
In buying a silver watch case great caro
should bo taken to secure one that is solid
'silver throughout. The cap of most cheap
silver ca&es is mado of a composition known
ns albata, which is n very poor substitute.
for silver, as it turns black lu a short timo.
The backs of such cases nro mado much
thinner than those of an all silver case,
being robbed in order to make tho cap
thicker and get in as much as possible of
the cheap metal. Another important point
in nbilver case is the joints or hinges, which
bhouhl bo mado of gold. Thoso of most
cheap cases aro made of silver, which is
not a suitable metal for that purpose. In
a brief period it warps, bends and spreads
apart, allowing tho backs to become looso
upon the case and admitting the dust nnd
dirt that accummulate in the pocket. The
Kcystono SilverWntch Cases are only mado
witli bilver caps and gold joints.

Swept into the Stream.
ONE THOUSAND ACIIES OF LAND AND "ItlOHT
8MA11T OF DKAItS."
On tho deck ot a big Mississippi steamboat stood
an aged Southern planter. Indicating by a sweep
ot his arm the waters the boat was passing over,
ho said to a passenger from tho North: "Whcnl
was twelve years old I killed my first bear on a
new plantailon my father was then cutting out ot
a forest that grew directly over the waters ot this
bend. That was a mighty good plantation, and
thcrowas right smart of bears there, too. Ilut
that one thousand acres of land went Into tho Mis
sissippi years ago."
It Is putting no strain upon thedguro'to say
that great forests of youthful hope, womanly
beauty and manly streneth are swept In tho same
wav every year Into the ereat. turbid torrent of
disease, ann ueain. Yet it riiouiq not bo so. That
it is so is a uisgraco as wen as a loss, l'eople are
largely too careless or too stupid to defend their
own interests -tho most precious of which is
health. That gone, all Is gone. Disease Is simple,
but to recklessness or Ignorance tho simplest things
might as well bo complex as a proposition In Conlo
sections. As tho huge Western rivers which so
often Hood the cities along their shores, arlso In a
few mountain springs, so all our ailments can be
traced to impure mood and a small group ot dis
ordered organs.
The most effectlvo and Inclusive remedy for dLs-
eose is i-AKitKii s ruaiu. it goes to tne sources
of pain and weakness. In response, to Its action
tne uver, moneys, swmacn ana neart uegin tneir
work afresh, and disease Is driven out. Tho Tonlo
Is not, however, an intoxicant, but cures a desire
for strong drink. Have you dyspepsia, rheuma
tism, or troubles which have refused to yield to
otner agents 7 uero is your ueip.

A STRANGE VALENTINE.
I ti tlio duskv llcht of n frnrrrnnL nml
lolily ndomeu drawlntt room two nco-
lo woro in anlmatcfl conversation.
Ono a woman of 60, lianilsonio Rtill
anil with n toilet suggestivo of iniiuh
aro and thought was sncakinir not
nly with decision, but with positivo
anger, altliougii tier sell-control was
great enough to keep Iter voico from
rising, it was not ablo to prevent a
tremulous vibration which sho vainly
tried to stiflo. Shu was sittini' on a
high-backed, embroidered chair, in an
attitude as faultless as tho fit of her
satin gown.
llio other a mrl of 20, with ereat.
clear brown eyes and Huffy brown
hair and graceful figure, stood as a
young child might have done at receiv-
ng a reprimand. Her eyes wero oast
down, tho laihcs drooping till they
early touched her cheeks, and her
lingers wero nervously picking to
pieces a sprig of heliotrope from a
magnificent basket of flowers besido
her.
"It is the most absurd thini: I ever
heard of,'1 Baid tho elder lady, with a
scornful smile. "I really cannot wasto
any more words upon it. You wero
always quioxtic, Teresa, and this per
formance caps the climax. In nearly
ono and tho same breath you tell mo
you lovo him and that you have re

"Please let it drop forget il."
Tlio tono was picadinp. the voice

"Forget it, indeed 1 Do you think 1

tho young girl depreciatingly,
sho was quickly interrupted.
JNow, don t plead ignoranco : don t
tell me that you don't know my wishes,
and did not mean to oltend me. '
"I really did not think of you at
all."
"Worse ond worso 1 well, tins is
plain speech. Aud whom do you

and allowing you every luxury, spend

The young voico taltcred ; tlio pink
tlush gave way to pallor ; tho brown
eyes filled.

A pretty question to put to mo
now, alter such behavior. Consult
your friends. I havo no further inter
est in you."
The cruelty of theso words seemed
to freeze the young girl. Her brown
eyes opened widely ; her color came
and went. Sho stared at the speaker
as it not able to believe tho words just
uttered, and then, rushing from the
room, found her own apartment and
flung herself down in an agony of griof
and stlt-reiiroach. To whom could she
turn for sympathy and pity when tho
ono she had learned to regard as her
natural protector spurned her and wil
fullv misunderstood her! What had
she done that was so grevious ? Had
sho not battled against her own feel
ings and conscientiously done what alio

Gladys, her delicate daughters, had
gone to a reception, i rank, her son, a
young physician, was never ablo to go
with her, "omco hours preventing.
Her thoughts wero lar from pleas

thus excited. Teresa, in tho plain
terms sho used to hcrselt, was a lool
and why should sho allow a fool to an

JiCroy Jones 1 a millionaire, a person
whoso horses and yachts were tho envy
ot all his comrades. And why, lor
sooth 1 Becauso she chose to thiuk him
unsteady, weak ; becauso his little foi
blea to this fresh, young, uiisophistica
ted girl seems to bo his vices. Oh, it
was too vexatious ! The moro so us sho
felt that all her good, sound, worldly
wiso advico and training had been
wasted. As for Sibyl and Gladys oh!
t thev could havo had such a chance,
poor delicato darlings 1
II.
Frank Gansevoort was a hard-work
ing young physician. His mother dc
piored tho tact that no was not a "so
ciety man," and Sibyl and Glady
mourned over tho uisaitcction ot their
renegade brother as if work were vice
and idleness a virtue ; but Frank kept
steadily on, and even went so far as to
distlguro tho liont ot tho liouso witti
sign. To be sum, it was a nice, neat
littlo silver plate, with only "F. Ganes
voort, M. D ' ou it, but it drew too
many poor people.
On tliis particular afternoon Dr.
Ganesvoort had occasion to hunt up
book on tho library shelves. It was an
old one, and had been tucked out o
sight. As ho searched for it a strango
sound met his cars a sound as o
some one sobbing. Now Frank kno,v
very woll whoso littlo room opened on
the library, and if ho had a tender spot
hi his heart at all it was lor tho pretty
young cousin who inhabited that room
so, without finding his musty old tome.
ho desconded from tho library steps
anil kiiockcu at lorcsa s uoor. Tiier
was uo nnswer until ho had repeated
his knock, and then tliero was n nitif
lied response, which was not satisfno
torv. At last ho said : "If von don'
come to tho dopr, Tessio, I shall havo
to break in,"
This brought a very deiecteiMook
ing damsel to tho threshold, who, find
, lug Frank alone, immediately fell on
0 III Iff P 9 ft
his shoulder in a ficsli burst of tears.
'his was all very nice, to bo sure, and
'"rank had no sort of objection to sup-
ort a weeping damsel who, despito
ler tears, looked as prcttv as a picture.
But tho grief was real, and that pained
I rank, bo, placing liar vory gently in
one of tlio library chairs, ho managed
by dint of coaxing and questioning to
ml out what was tho matter. "A uuarrel
Uli mother nnd n break with Lcroy
Jones I wonder which was tho worse?"
mused 1? rank. "Tell me, Tcssie, did
you caro much for Lcroy 1" ho asked,
"I did liko him, Frank I always
used to caro for him when ho was
nice, liut he isn't nico any more. He's
ion idly fast, and I will not marry him
just for Ills money, ns aunt wants mo
to do, nnd I've told him so, and and."
I he handkerchief went up again.
"lea, 1 see how it is. You aro suro
you don't regret it !''
"Ut course 1 am suro. Uo yon
think I would havo mado nil this trou
ble if I had not been suro?" Sho stop
ped crying nnd drew hersclt up very
proudly, continuing: "Aunt Geraldiuo
has cast mo off. Sho has told mo that
this is no longer my home. I am
going away this very evening. I will
not stay another day in lior house"
"Don't bo hasty, Tessio. Mother's
disappointed and will soon get over
it.'
'But I shall not
I am going, I tell
you, frank.
"Uh, no, not yet,
Tessie. Why,
whero will you go 7"
"1 dm t know yet perhaps to airs.
nusscl nor do 1 know what I shall
do. I havo no money and I am so ig
norant. Oh, if I had only studied as I
ought to havo done I might then
teach i but I will find somo way of
getting along,' and sho hold her head
moro proudly Btill.
"Tessie, dear, you aro a foolish little
thing. I don't uphold mother's un-
kindness ; but you must remember that
1 love you if sho doesn t.
"I'es, dear I rank, you aro always
good to mo.
.... -
"Well, then, why not put and end to
all this bother and bo my littlo wife ?''
'Uh, i'rank, dont: please, don t
talk that way. You know wo are
cousins, and I've no ldo.t of burdening
you with any other relationship. You
iro very kind : but, all tho same, that
cannot be.
Frank tried to look dolorous, but
did not succeed vory well. Ho was, in
truth, too much in lovo with his pro-
icssion to nave much room lor any
other sentiment in his good, kind heart,
but ho had meant to do his best, if
Tessio would let htm, which sho
wouldn't.
"Well, if you won't you won't, and I
must bear it.
"Which you will do with all the
easo in tho world, dear Frank. And
now 1 am croinrr to nack. and vou will

Sho grew incoherent and tearful
gain, and again Frauk urged her to a
different course of conduct, but she
was not to bo entreated or urged or ad'
vised. In her hot young indignation
tho world was her retreat ; she could
do anything, bear anything but tyran
ny nnd lmusticQ and unkindness. lit
tle, indeed, did she know of tho world,
but she was earnest and true and
strong and ready to do her best,

IV.
It is the 14th day of February, and
Dr. Gansevoort is mounting the stairs
of a New York boarding house. Ho
has n patient on tho top floor, for whom
ho has more than a scientific interest,
and as he enters tho room, which he
has at last i cached, ho look3 with anx
ioty towards tho dormer window filled
with llowers. The patient is standing
tliero with a watering can and scissors
tending her plants. His anxiety is re
lieved when he sees the little tinge of
color on his patient's faco and tho glad
bright glanco she gives him
;So you aro better to-day 7" ho says,
taking tho offered hand and giving it a

"Yes; 1 am getting quite strong

Carlisle Indian School,
Lately tliero arrived at tho Indian
Training School at Oarllslo fifty-eight
boys and cloven girls, representations
of tho Yumus, the Pueblos, tho Chiri
cahuas and tho Apaoho tribes of Ari
zona Territory.
"Poor, tired, half-clad boys and girls
thoy wero, wrapped in their blankets,
wearing their dear-skin moccasins ami
leggings, their long, glossy bnir hang
ing wildly around their shoulders and
falling oyer their eyes tho very pic
turo oforio.itulgMoo nnd iudolonco. As
thoy lounged around, resting nfter tho
fatiguo and long confinement of their
journey, tho teachers admired their
costumes, and, going from one to the
other, shook hands with them and as
sured them of kindly feeling, examin
ingto their npparcnt delight tho
various curious articles that go to
make up tho nttiro of the blanket In
dian. Kach newcomer is known in the
school not by name, but by number
which is engraved on a littlo tin me
dallion and hangs at tho wearer's
side.
The general amusement may bo
imagined only equalled by tho hearty
laugh of tho Indian when Captain
Pratt, desiring to show tho boy's num
ber, suddenly pulled out from the deep
mysteries of his looso sash-liko belt a
clear, bright littlo hand looking glass,
tho inseparabio companion of the typi
cal young buck.
Somo of the party had been carried
off to uudergo tho initiation to tho first
steps toward a civilized oxistence, nnd
had already emerged from the trying
ordeal, shavon and clean and well
clothed. But for a certain shyness of
manner and a littlo awkwardness of
gait, occasioned by uncivilized boots
and heels, they were hardly to bo recog
nizor irom me wen-irainea, biue-um-
formed cadet of several years.
Accompanying theso embryo pupils
wero threo chiefs and nn indian -scout.
Antonio, a San Carlo3 Apacho chief of
a baud of ICO warriers ; Jhaquito Hay,
a 1 onto Apache, and a clnet ot the
band to which Wot, tho scout, belong
ed ; and Us-k-do-dil gas, a Chiricahua
chief, whoso band is composed of wild
Indians. Thoy were all in chargo of
their escort, an ofiicer of tho Uuited
States Army stationed on tho San Car
los Agency.
iheso old Indians woro tho tradition
al dress of their race, and beamed forth
with great brilliancy, wrapped m sheets
of the color of the gorgeous sunflower,
tuo eitect heightened, it possible, by
the pronounced contrast of a deep.
warm red handkerchief twisted, turban-
wise, around their heads. Tho scout
seemed to consider himself quite a pro-
gressivo uiuian, anu was not, a little
proud ol his sergeants uniform, and
drew on and oil his gauntlets witli the
caso and nonchalance of tho most fasti
dious cavalry officer.
Although amid now surroundings
and scarce recovered from the delights
and bewilderments of a journey, during
winch many ol the Indians saw a train
of cars and a locomotive for tho first
time the chiefs took a deep interest
in nil the appointments of the school,
and expressed themselves much pleased
witli everything they saw.
They, too, wero thinly clad, and, un
accustomed to tlio snow that covered
tho grouud, felt the cold intensely, ac
cepting gratefully tho warm suits of
clolhiug that Captain Pratt kindly pio-
vidod tor them.
At tea-time, Saturday evening, the
now delegation joined the older schol
nrs and inarched with them to the din
ing hall, and on Sunday, seated at tho
dinner-table, the new boys used their
knives and forks liko their more civi
lized neighbors.
At.chapel on Saturday evening and
at all the services on the day follow
ing, each boy ane girl preserved tho
most respectful silence, although tho
singing, the prayers and tho plain,
earnest address wero uniutelligiblo to
them. But under this nuiet demeanor
ot ouo gesturo escaped their observant
nnd well-trained eyes.
Uoing out ot tho chapel the chiets
examined tlio register in the aislo, and
pleased like a clu'd with a now toy
cried, "Heaps warm ! heaps good I
smoke uo smoke !" It is this desire to
know whero tho smoke goes that will
bo tho salvation of the red men.
Among tho Apacho boys is a son of
tho celebrated chiol boco, a good old
bravo, who was forced by his Indians
to join them on the war-path against
Ins own wishes and his better judgment
Another is the son of Vonito, and
still another of tho renegrado Tonto
Apache chief, Del Chey, who, with his
toiiowers, was tho scourago and the
terror of tho whito settlers of Arizona,
and for whoso bead tho citizens offered
b 1.000. Ho was then murdered bv an
paohf, who brought his victim's
head into camp and received the re
ward.
Theso boys and girls havo como vol

They Want to go on the Stage-
Tho following question which agi
tates so many' minds was written to tho
Now York Sun by a correspondent
from a Southern city :
"There nro two young ladles hero who
nro exceedingly anxious to go on tho stage,
nml havo requested mo to writo you nnd
sec If you couldn't givo them all tuo neces
sary Information In regard to tho matter.
Is thcro any place In New York where per
sons nro taught for tho stage ? Who are
the pnrtlca and what terms do they charge?
How long would they havo to study bo
fore they nro allowed to nppcar In public 1
I hnvo uono all In my power to try nnd
dlssundc them from their Intention, but
without avail, I have seen ono of tho ladles
on tlio stago several times, that Is, In pri
vate thcatrlcnls, nnd I must admit that sho
hns a great deal of talent In that line. Be
sides that, sho Is very highly educated, and
I think It she had a chanco would make a
success."
To which the Sun replies editorily
as follows :
Thcro are in New York several mem
bers of tbo theatrical profession who
dovoto their sparo timo to preparing
pupils for tho stage, and somo of them
nro nrtists of high standing, who must
bo altogether competent for tho duty.
Wb do not know what their prices for
tuition, but thoy aro probably reason
able. As to tho timo required to get
tho adequate training, that must de
pend on tho nptitudo of tho pupil. A
wholo lifctimo of study would not mako
an actor of ono man, whilo anothor
might master in a few months all that
his professional teacher had to offer
him in tho way of technical instruc
tion. But oven after tho pupil has passed
from the hands of his theatrical pre
ceptor, it is likely that it will bo im
possible for him to get a chanco to
actually appear on tho stago in any
part of which satisfies his ambition and
gratifies his vanity. Ho will como in
compction with many experienced ar
tists who aro standing around Union
square waiting for an engagement, and
whose illusions as to their abilities and
opportunities have been pretty thorough
ly dispelled by harsh experience Tho
novice, if he gets on tho stago at all,
must expect nothing moro than a very
minor aud humble part ; he must be
prepared to encounter sharp criticism
in the green room, nnd to do without
tho. praise of his professional associates.
What seems histrionic genius to his
partial friends who applaud his ama
teur performances, will be very coldly
judged in tho green room.
In fine, ho will havo to make his way
against obstacles which will subdue bis
spirit and hurt his self-love most keen
ly, and his progress upward will bo slow,
it he gels up at all. Ho will bavo to
work hard and submit to indifference.
and what seems to him injustice. Bo-
sides, he will get poor pay at the be
ginning, and will bo lucky if ho can
secure an engagement which will givo
him even that Bteadily. Instead or.
making a grand success in the great
city, ho may bo obliged to travel with
strolling companions, and have to wait
lor years betoro obtaining an opportu
nity to appear in a leading theatre, at
least in any except a small part, whero
he has no chance to gain tho particular
attention of tho audience.
A woman cannot hopo to faro any
better. Her strange trials may be oven
harder to bear, and moro destructive of
her peaco and happiness. Scarcely
any girl thinks of acting in other than
the leading parts in which sho has seen
tho most famous and most experienced
artists. She wants to jump up to tho
top at once, and all her theatrical
dreams nro based on tho assumption
that she will do it that sho will bo tho
heroine of tho play, and that sho will
live in an almospheio of intoxicating
applauso and adulation. Instead of
that, if sho gets on tho stago at all, sho
is likely to bo nt first only ono of
tho supernumeraries who stand about
to watch the triumph of .tho heroino
and assist in making up the stago pic
ture of which another is the central fig
ure. These arc facts which tho two South
ern giils must look squarely in the faco
it they think of goiug on tho stage.
J hoy must understand that they pro
pose to enter a very difficult profession,
and ono in which there nro ten, nny, a
hundred, chances of their failing to ono
of their succeeding. If a woman risen
nigh in tho theatre, sho gets better pay
than she can earn elsowhero ; but if
she remains in tho lower or middlo
ranks of tho theatrical profession sho
will only make moderate wages for
very haul word.
Valentine, who is commemorated on
the fourteenth day of February, was a
Bishop of Rome, and martyr. Ho
lived in tho third century, nnd being
confined nt Rome, on account of his
religion, he was committed to tho caro
of a man whoso daughter wns bliud.
whom Valentine restored to sight, and
from that timo tho girl became ena
mored with him. Nor did ho treat her
affection with contempt, but nfter n
long imprisonment liu was ordered for
public execution on the 14th of Febru
ary. AVhilo in prison, being deprived
of books, ho used to nmuso himself
with cutting cuiious devices in oaper.
