Most persons have an ambition to carry

Low a watch case Is made, or tho vast dif
ference in the quality of them. In a Solid
Gold Watch Case, asido from the neces
sary thickness for engraving and polishing,
a largo proportion of) .the mefal is needed
only to stiffen and hold tho engraved por
tions in place, and supply strength. The
surplus is not only needless, but undesira
ble, because gold is a soft metal and cannot
furnish tho$tlliiess, strength irad elasticity
necessary 'to make tho case permanently
strong and close-fitting. Tho perfect watch
case must combine gold with some metal
that will supply that in.which the gold is
deficient; Thij jiasbcen accomplished by

That theie are a good ninny' ways'of
doing the i-auu- thing is made very ap
parent by a littlo investigation ot tho
list of patents grained by the govern
ment since Us organization.
Th total number ot patents granted
during that period aggregate Pearly
SOD.OOD. Of these exclusive privileges
10,201 were for metal-working ma
chines of various kinds. The people
who desire tn keep warm .can tako their
choice of 8,238 stoves' and furnaces.
There havo been 0,505 patents, relating
to, railway cars and 3,504 improve
ments to the railways themselves. Tho
boots and shoes wo wear havo given
occasion for 5,000 patents ; tho evolu
tion of tho modern plow has required
0,G80 exclusivo rights and the 'modern
harvester 0,000 ; 5,111 alleged Im
provements havo been mado 111 steam
engines and 5,254 in lamps ami gas
fixtures, which probably explains t,o a
great extent why gas bills aro so high.
The ladies can tako thoir choice from
9G9 different kinds of corsets, sleep on
2,453 different kinds of beds and slt.on
1,580 patented chairs.
This list covers ouly a small portioti
of the articles patented, but it gives a
general idea of tho fertility' of tho Yan
kee mind iu tho matter of making im
provements in ovory conceivable utensil,
machine, thing of use or ornament. It
is a very small and useless article that
hasn't furnishod the occasion for sev
eral hundred patents. Tho important
improvements among tuts lmmonso
number probably hold tho relation of
tho two grains of wheat to two bush
els of chaff, but they aro numerous
enough, however, to have furnished tho

How to Boil Water. .
I must tell you tho old Btory how tho
lato Charles Dclmonico used to; talk
about the now hot water cure. Ho said
tho Delmouicos woro tho first to rec
ommend it to guests who complained
of having no appetite. "Tako a cup
ot not water ami lemon and you win
feel hotter,'' was tho formula adopted ;
and tho cup of hot water and loraon
was simply a little not water with a
a drop of lemon juico in it to tako
away tuo insipidity. ior this antt bil
ious remedy tho caterers obarged, tho
pneo of their best liquors 2o,;conta or
more and it certainly was a wiser way
to spend small chaugo than in alcohol.
"Kow people know how to cook water,"
Charles used to affirm. "Tho secret
is in putting good, fresh water into a
neat kettle, already warm, aud setting
tno water to boiling quickly, aud tliou
taking it right off for uso iu tea, ooffeo
or ottier drinks noioru tl is spoiled. 10
let it steam and simmer and evaporate
