It the em ploy replies that he docs not carry a watch he Is promptly presented with a orJer on a leading Chicago Jewelor, lth Instructions to hare the Umn p!ere engraved as a gift from Philip D. rmour to whatever his name may ho. ' If the fortunate one Is possessed of a watch ho is instructed to get a new tuft of clothes or a brand new over coat. For the first few years this plan was allowed to proceed on the ltnea laid down by Mr. Armour, but of lata these of his men who prefer watches to overcoats have managed to leave their timepieces at home when tbey have teen summoned to a conference. It Is stated as a fact that in no In stance has the millionaire packer ne glected to bestow an expensive gift on those of his employes whom he has called to Chicago on business. Tho watch preference) among his men has come to be very noticeable, and Mr. Ar mour's custom Is so generally Known among Armour men that a call to Chi cago generally brings out the remark: "That means a watch from the old man. ana l can t goi mere too qutcn.

When Andrew D. White, now tho United States ambassador at Berlin, was our minister to Germany, nearly twenty yeai-J ago, he received some oueer letters from Americans, asking for his liillucaco la their behalf in court circles. Perhaps the funniest of all was a very mandatory epistle from an old lr.dy IWlng in the West, who Inclosed in her letter four pices of white linen, eiu h some six inches square. "We are goifg to give a fair in our church," she wrote, "and I am making u: autograph quilt. I want you to get me the autographs of the emperor, tha empress, the crown prince and Bis marck, nnd tell them to be very careful not to write too near tbe edge of the Hiiuares an a seam has to be allowed lor putting them togohor."

As a matter of fact it is said that solf-same town can l'urnkih still more surprising para, dozens In the matter of flre3. Soma years ago a mill dam built of planks burned out, a railroad water tank was destroyed Jhe same way, and tha firo engine house burned down, one of the engine horses perishing in tho Hemes. But this Is not a circumstance to the eastern cotton mill that took tiro from the tall race, the only place in the mill, the superintendent had said, where he had omitted to place an iutomatlo sprinkler. Oil on the stream which had backed up the tall race ig nited and the mill had a narrow es cape. Wind t)rtns and tires do some tuuuy things when nobody is looking.

At Norwich, with a pop ulation of over 100,000 the vaccina tion officer's fees amounted to about $40; he receives 50 cents for each case. It is proposed to erect a tablet in lonor of Prof. Ginseppi Sanirelli, the discoverer of the microbe of yellow lever, at the University of Vienna, of which he is an alumnus. Three Italian physicians, Drs. Lus- ttg, Galeotti and Malencmm, have returned from Bombay with a preven tive serum for the plague which they assert is superior to Dr. Yersin's. It is not intended to cure but to prevent tbe disease, is more easily prepared than Yersin's, is free from bacteria, dry and harmless to man and beast. It is introduced by injection in small doses mixed with sterilized water, producing a slight rash, which disap pears in twenty.four hours. The doc tors tried it on their own persons. To the ingenuity of a Frenchman, raul GifTard, is attributed a "miracle gun," a repeating rifle, which requires no gun powder. The projecting force is liquified air, obtained under pres sure at a temperature of hundreds of decrees below zero, thus representing an enormous expansive power. This rifle is much lighter in weight than the ordinary one ana tne steel cartridge, nine inches long and as thick as one's thumb, contains 300 bullets, which may be discharged as quickly or slow ly as one likes. There is no smoke, no flash and only a sharp and low re port. As soon as one cartridge is empty another can be screwed on in stantly, 300 shots costing but 3 J cents. Gieantio Btcel Wire and Hail Trust FormiDg, T.ie Capital Invested In the Proposed Pool Will Exceed $60,000,000 Representatives of the steel wire and nail manufacturing firms of the United States, who have for months been negotiating to form a steel wire and nail pool, are nearing a conclus ion of their work. It is said that about twenty of the largest steel wire and nail manufactur ers will enter the pool and that the capital in vesica win exceeu $00,000,- 000. 1 The legal formalities for forming I the pool will probably not be com pleted until alter the holidays. Al ready many of the small wire and nail concerns throughout the country have been brought out and negotiations are pending for the purchase of others. According to judge Gary, of Chicago, T. H. Tenbrouck and others interest ed the combine will not result in rais ing the prices to the purchasers of wire and nails, but will enable the manufacturers to operate the plants upon a more economical basis. The only meeting in connection with the combine held last week was that of the directors of the Illinois steel company. The business of the meeting was such as usually comes before the men who are interested in the company. It was admitted, how ever, that discussions of the proposed wire and nail pool took up a great portion of the session. Pennsylvania Railroad Oompany Will Issue Clerical Orders for 1898- The Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany announces that the issue of clerical orders will be continued for 1898 on the same lines as in effect at present.

Orders will be issu ed only on individual application of clergymen, to be made on blanks furnished by the Company and certi fied to by one of its agents. , Horse Scented Danger. Sudden Sinking of a Wagon Road Into a Mine. Jacob Wagner, a prominent citizen of Hazleton, narrowly escaped being swallowed up by a mine cave-in on the highways on Friday. He was driv ing along the road near Harleigh when his horse's hoof suddenly pierced the surface, causing the animal to turn aside. As it did so the roadbed went down 30 feet. Had the cave-in occurred five minutes later a loaded trolley car would have gone down with it. Wag. ner and his team had just cleared the spot when the earth went down. It is now said that woman's hair is becoming more beautiful in color every year, and is also growing thicker and tonger. This is said to be due to the small light bonnets that women wear. Certain it is that air and sun shine improve the color and texture of the hair. Sun bleaches the hair, and Venetian beauties always dried their ruddy locks in the sun, thereby getting that tint so much admired cahed Venetian red. Of course, sun shine will not bleach dark hair, but it gives a deeper color to all kinds of tresses. UiLlFOtCfTlA.. Personally-Conducted Tour via Pennsylvania Railroad. America is ft great country.
