"It is bad practlco to bo oontlnuully Hotting a watch by tho stem sottor," observed a watch repairer to a reportor, "for it baa a tendency to wear out tho band that attaches tho hands to tho pinion. The hands are tightened to tho pinion at firmly m they run bo, and evory setting loosen* them somewhat. There la a class of persons who Bet their watches evory day rather than give a littlo attention to the matter of regulating them. They find that tho watch gains or losoa a mlnuto or a few minutes In eauh 2* hours, and Instead of curing this by tho regulator, which is put in tho watvh for that express purpose and no other, they force back or forward tho hands by the stem setter or by a key. If the hand pinion wears out, which it frequently does, It Is considerable ot a job to put in a new one or plaoo new hands 011 it, and tho worlc necessarily costs something, for which repairora have to charge for thoir work. If a person knows that a watch gains or loses a certain amount I11 each day, It Is better to calculate back or forward than to bo continually setting it. A little study of tho regulator will do the work much hotter without tho risk of wearing out anything."—Washington Star.

"Never mind, but I can tell you something about her. She's been living with that fellow for 20 years. Don't say anything abont it." Folding up her napkin in a rage, the good woman snapped ont: "Say nothing abont it? And yon, knowing that such persons resorted here, have haa the temerity to fetch me hoe to dine? It Is monstrous!

In his biography of Parnell Barry O'Brien gives soiuo illustrations of the curt way in which tho Irish leader treated his adherents. When the lord mayor of Dublin presented to him from the Irish people the I'arnell tribute, not less than 1186,000, his lordship naturally expeoted to make a pleasant speech as an aooompanlment to the gift. "The lord mayor having been announced," says Mr. O'Brien, "bowed and began, 'Mr. Parnell'—" 'I believe,' Mill Ur. Parnell, 'you have got a check (or ma.' "The lord mayor, somewhat surprised at thla Interruption, said, 'fee,' and waa about to reoommenoe hla apeeoh when Par- nail broke In: " 'it It made payable to order and croaaadt' "The lord mayor again answered In tha affirmative and waa resuming the discourse when Parnell took the check, (oldad It neatly and put It in his waiatooat pocket.
