Very few people know that there are, in connection with the Geneva watch trade, competitions involving very large Bums of money, a goodly proportion of which finds its way into England. A oertain number of watchmakers at Geneva nominate oertain dealers in England who shall hold competition watohes made by the former, and the names of such dealers are agreed to by the whole of the said makers. Prizes ranging from 800 downward are given to the makers whose particular watohes shall keep the best time and remain in the finest condition during 13 months. The English dealers who hold the watches during the 13 months have to keep a daily record in regard to the loss or gain of time evidenoed by their charges, and they are of course in abso lute honor bound to keep a oorreot one and not to tamper with the watches be yond winding them. No given maker's watch in the competition bears any name or distinctive mark other than pe ouliaritiss of construction by which the name of the maker can be identified by the holder. The watches are of the usual kiud manufactured for trading purposes and not mere "exhibition" watohes, and the holder of eaoh prize winner receives one-half of the award. London Standard. A Fine Knot Squirrel Hunt. "A pine knot squirrel hunt 4s about the most exciting sport I know, "said A. R. Mcllvane. "In the pine woods of the south there are a great many squir rels, and the ground is covered with knots. These are very hard, and their shape renders them much easier than stones to throw straight Frequently parties of expert throwers are formed to kill squirrels without guns, and it is re markable how successful they are. When a squirrel is sighted, the man who discovers him has the first throw, and if the squirrel is not hit it belongs to whoever gets it. Ahont one-half of the throws bring the squirrels down, and the party will often return with, 100 of the animals. As the trees are high and the squirrels are generally on the branches, the difficulty of hitting them is very great, but the skill of a groat many with these knots is remarkable. Cincinnati Enquirer.

Francis Joseph of Battenberg, a real live prince, recently traversed the Unit ed States while on a tour of the world and has left America much impressed with Yankee pluck and energy. He is a godson of Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria and is a brother of Prince Henry of Battenberg, who married Queen Vic toria's favorite daughter, Princess Bea trice, in 1885. He is a stalwart young gentleman, standing 6 feet in his shoes, is unmarried and confesses to only 83 years. Despite the fact that he is not at all well to do, he apparently cherished no designs upon the fortunes of Ameri can heiresses during his tour and im pressed a great many people with the belief that he is a very sensible, modest and well informed young scion of roy alty. The prince left home eight months ago and has since visited India, Aus tralia, New Zealand, Hawaii and the United States. He travels in a modest, unostentatious manner and says that a room costing $2 a day at a hotel is good PBIKCE FRANCIS JOSEPH. enough for him. He is utterly devoid of any affectation or royal airs and makes numerous notes each day for use' in a book on America. He has considerable literary talent and has already brought out a book or two with flattering suc oess. He dresses in ordinary black clothes, looks like a well bred English man and speaks excellent English with a German accent. He thinks Niagara falls the grandest spectacle he has ever seen and says that American beer is better than any beer made in England, Germany or Austria. What impresses him most about America and Americans is the rapidity of the country's development and the energy and perseverance of the people. He will return to the United States next year and make a more extended tour of the country. The prince has a military bearing and for some time served as a lieutenant of infantry on the staff of the Grand Duke of Hesse. He has drop ped the sword for the pen, however, and is devoting himself to a literary career. "Bissell" Postofflces. There is now a "Bissell" postoffice in nearly every state in the Union. When Mr. Bissell was appointed postmaster general, not a single postoffice in the country was honored by the name of "Bissell." Mr. Bissell has since cor rected this singular omission on the part of former postmaster generals, and when The Postal Guide was printed last De cember had already added an even dozen "Bissells" to the postoffice nomenclature of the country. He has been steadily progressing ever since, and there are now probably between 20 and 25 post offices so designated. In some cases the naming of a postoffice after the postmas ter general is pure sycophantry. Often er, however, the name is suggested by the department in cases where there' is any difficulty over the selection of a proper title for an office. In The Postal Guide printed last December there are 29 "Clevelands" and 19 "Grovers." The "Bissell" offices will eventually outnumber all others. Indianapolis Journal. f Lambs at the Bargain Counter. The sale of live lambs at a department store in Lexington street Saturday was a novelty to shoppers. The lambs were not as gentle as the little one that be longed to Mary, and some amusing scenes were caused by the animals strug gling to release themselves from their purchasers. Those who bought the lambs were required to take them away them selves. Ladies, who were the principal buyers, managed to do this by grasping the little creatures in both arms. Near ly every one of the lambs, it is said, was bought to be kept as a pet Balti more Sun. METHODICAL. She Was All Bight In Principle, but Mot In Practice. ' They had come down town on a shop ping trip and had dropped into a restau rant for a cup of tea. While they drank it they explained to each other their va rious scientific ways of doing the thing. "I go about it systematically," said the methodical woman. "First I find out just what I need and how much, then I make an accurate list and divide jny money, for I know just how much I mean to pay for each thing, and I never take along any more than I need. " "But suppose you see some perfectly lovely bargains?" put in the extravagant woman, "but then you can take the money you had intended for something else." , "I never do such things. I buy just what I have originally decided upon." "And I suppose you go straight to the department where they keep those par ticular articles, " observed the careless woman. "Of course I do. " "For my part, I think that's just like a man, and I do hate anything unfenn nine, " put in the widow. "Stuff and nonsense I Then I always keep my tickets until my purchases ar rive in order that I can exchange them if necessary. As for Kate here, she never even takes her tickets home. " . "I don't," said the careless woman. "I find that I can always get my things exchanged if I ask prettily enough.' Soft words are just as good as those rubbishy tickets of yours. '-' "I never return anything," said the extravagant woman. "If I don't like my purchases when I get home, I just give them to some deserving object of char ity. We are entirely too selfish in this world anyhow, as I always tell my hus band when he objects to giving me more money. I like to do a little good, " "Yes j how delighted that poor in valid was with the walking hat you sent her. She said she was really afraid she was losing all idea of the prevailing etyles and becoming hopelessly old fash ioned," remarked the careless woman, with a smile in her voice. The extravagant woman was busy putting sugar in her tea, so the method ical woman took up the conversation, saying : "Then I always carry a number of cards with my name and address on them. It saves the shop people lots of trouble to have it plainly written out Just where to send the goods.", "Yes, but it didn't the time you gave them one of Mrs. Jonesmith's cards in mistake for your own and had all your winter flannels sent to her," observed the careless woman. "If I remember rightly, you almost had pneumonia be fore the mistake could be set right. " "That was a mere accident," said the methodical woman severely; "the prin ciple is all right " . "Of course, of course," said the wid ow soothingly. "I think I must be go ing now. I've lots to do. " "And I, too," said the methodical woman. "Kate does all her matching by eye, and it takes a long time. Just wait a minute, Kate, while I get out my list After it is once made I dismiss it entirely from my mind, and I don't know where I must go first Why, where can my list be?" "At home on your dressing table, dear," said the careless woman blandly. "I saw it as we were starting out, but you were so busy lecturing me about my lack of system that I realjy hadn't a chance to mention it to you. "Chicago Times-Herald. A Colonial Episode.

Soribner's Magazine. A Unique Coat of Arms. ' There was one Phi lad el phi an who not only invented arms for himself, but new and republican arms, after discarding the ancestral arms of bis family. This was Peter Brown, at one time an emi nent citizen of Philadelphia. In 1794 William Priest, an English musician, beoame attached to the the ater in Philadelphia in his professional capaoity. In 1802 Mr. Priest printed in London a book entitled "Priest's Travels In the United States," which is now exceedingly rare. The frontispiece to this book is a strange and curious de sign, entitled "Peter Brown's Arms. " In explanation of this frontispiece Mr. Priest says: "Peter Brown, a black smith of this city, having made his for tune, set up his coach, but so far from being ashamed of the means by which he acquired his riches, he caused a large anvil to be painted on each side of his carriage, with two pairs of naked arms in the act of striking. The motto, 'By this I got ye. ' " y Franklin's Tribute to Paul Jones. From the beginning of his acquaint ance with Franklin a mutual respect and a deep affection sprang up between them. The wise Franklin saw at a glance what manner of man Paul Jones was, and in one noble sentence desoribed him better than many volumes could, "For Captain Paul Jones ever loved close fighting."
