But he isn't now. W h y, yon w ill find gold watches in the pockets o f our Btrect-car conductors, and I have even known them to wear handsome dia­ mond ring»*. Did you e ver notice the ostentatious manner in which a young man handles his first gold watch? It is rather amusing. Usually he carries it iu a chamois leather pouch, und is very careful not to breathe on it or touch the case with his lingers. He consults it every fifteen minutes for the first month, hut he soon tires of iL and then considers it a horrible bore to he asked for the time. T h e demand for gold watches was never greater than it is to-day. Watch companies are kept very busy tilling orders, and we retail jew elers do a good business in this lin e.'1 “ W hy is it that watches are so much cheaper now than a few years ago?" “ W ell, for one thing, the watch movements are a great deal cheaper. Gold is just exactly the same price per pennyweight. T h e reduction in price is confined to the movements. T h e watch movements of the standard Am erican m ike are very cheap. Those in common use in gold watches of the cheapest grade are from $10 to $*¿0 each, and some of the best movements are worth at wholesale $2.“» to $30. There is, however, a high-priced, tine American movement which may cost you $73. hut they are not put in ord i­ nary cases. A watch that you paid $100 for a few years ago you can get to­ day for $00, and this $00 watch w ill have a $10 or $13 movement In it. For $30 you should get a movement cased in solid 14-carat gold, weighing from 4^ to 60 pennyweights. 'The purchaser will get more service out o f a 14-carat case than he w ill out of an 18-carat.11 “ H ow can dealers offer the public solid gold watches for $4 I and $83P11 “ Th ey are not solid hy any means. There are some unprincipled makers who w ill mark a case o f 10 carat out­ side and 8 carat inside 14 carat, and a 10 and 14 carat would he marked 18 carat. T h ere is no law in Am erica to prevent this. T h e case is made of a (im position which holds a gold plat­ ing linely. This composition is some­ times very heavily plated, and will wear for several years without showing the base mnt.nl. T h e r e is lit t le r lltttv n lty in disposing o f thorn as solid gold cases, and in this wav the price is sur­ prisingly low. T h ere is more oppor­ tunity for deception in the movement and case of a watch than in almost any other article. 'The amount of money invested in a watch offers much inducement to experim ent. Th e case manufacturer is not necessarily obliged to know much about the movement of a watch He makes his c;»ses to lit the standard Am erican sizes o f movements, and most makers produce a uniform size. — Brooklyn Eagle. -------- .«-»»■ ------ - A M E R IC A N 50 ttul»Merl|»tlon P r l f f Pay able I n v a r l - ab ly In Advanee. tr ail in g ü a t l r r a w i l l br l a a a r l r « ai thr r atr or T r a r r a l a per Liaa, Advertising Bills Collected Monthly* • 1 5075 One Veer -¡iv Month» I Three Months.

One o f the developm ents of nine­ teenth century civilization which has recently come into vogue ir Philadel­ phia is a m anagerial personage desig­ nated as a "w ed d in g superin tendent” T h e personage is, of course, of the feminine gender, and her function is to rem ove from the shoulders of the prospective mother-in-law and her daughter e v ery burden and responsi­ b ility. She n-'t only contracts to furnish 1 ho bride's trousseau, providing every detail of it fi om tra v e lin g bon­ net to the orange blossoms, but she undertakes entire charge of the culin­ ary arangements, furnishes silver, glass and table linen, superintends the floral decoration of the house and church, provides the carriages, and in fact, holds as th oroughly important relation to the festive occasion as does an undertaker lo the funeral. T h e superintendent is not o f necessity a dressmaker, a caterer, a floriculturist nor a hack d river, but is supposed to be a woman of fact and business, who wilt detail the management of the var­ ious accompaniments o f a m arriage festival to responsible persons, she herself having the general supervisioa of ev ery thing. T h is plan o f wedding superintend­ ence is not y et w idely recognized, but a number of large purt’.os given in P hiladelphia during last wluter were conducted upon a sim ilar principle. T h e Ideals m erely an expansion of the functions of the so-called commission­ aires who have recently been plying such a th riv in g business. “ Profes­ sional shoppers" is th eir m ore com­ prehensible title. T h e ir prim e aim is to lend th eir tuste, tim e and exp eri­ ence to supplying the wunts o f ladies who are. by reuson of distance from the city or other causes. Incapacitated for milking tlielr own purchases. But the com missionaire is no lon ger con­ fining licrselt to the purchase of pur­ ple and tine linen fo r domestic use. She now holds herself In readiness for any task. W ith equal alacrity she w ill accept the commission to buy n car­ riage or an elephant, a barrel of flour or a d irectolre dross, a diamond neck­ lace or u ton of coal. “ I am engaged in the selection of a span of horses for a country gen tle­ man just now,” said one of these bus­ iness women yesterday. " I bought a carriage yesterday for another, and expect to go house hunting next week. An order for the purchase of a ship would not in the least appal me. I would set about it im m ediately as 1 would (he purchase of a yard of cush- m ere.” — P h ilad elp h ia Record. N UT-BE AR ING T R EE S . A<1in !rt«l>ly S tiite tl to t lie N o ll an
