Lexy x, Nov. 12.—It iw expected that when .u¢ conference is heid between the Emr" ors? Federation and 4™*'gamated Society «f Engineers, it will be found that the cou.batants are disposed to end the dis; n'e. The terms under which the con- frie. will be held will amcuant to the d.f af of the Engineers. They are to withdraw the strike notices prior to the disen-rton, while the lockout notices given bv the employers will not be withdrawn. l. is probably that work will be resumed cn November 22. The employers are ex- pect d to give consent to « reduction of the Vt. ug [Ours, if there is @ corresponding rrduction in wages. The l-aders may ac- rep these conditions, but the rank and tie will probably prefer to recurn to work oo the oll terms rather than accept any rednetionin pay. Indications of the weak- nes. to which the Anialgamated Society of Engive r+ has men reduced, is that it has apple! for admission into the Federated ‘Trates Union.

elsewhere than in France to be the corps d'elite of the army—was beyond praise. The physique of the personnel of the fleld and horse batteries is superior to that of the line, and the average effi- ciency of the officers is higher. The steel gun thatit is armed with is a most effective weapon—the fieldpiece of 90 mm., weighing 10.43 hundred- weight, and firing a 17.98 pound com- mon shell, 18.5 pound shrapnel; the horse artillery gun weighing 8.86 hun- dredweight, with a 13.15 pound com- mon shell and a 18.84 shrapnel.
The large number of batteries at- tached to an army corps—more than } four guns to 1,000 infantry and cav- alry—is not the only indication that the French place great reliance upon their artillery. The batteries as they marched past presented an admira- ble appearance. The old maxim of “‘spit and polish’? was not as mi- nutely carried out as is the case with the batteries of the United States regu- lar army. The steel hames and collar chains were in some instances not as bright as they might haye been, nor were the leather harnesses absolutely immaculate, but the horses are beyond criticism, and everything pertaining to each piece and each caisson is thorough- ly serviceable and businesslike.—New York Tribune.
“The Most Costly Fruits.
Hothouse grapes are the costliest of fruits. They are never less than 75 cents a pound, and when they are most costly, in February and March, they sell for $9 a pound, sometimes going as high as $10 a pound. At prices ranging up to $2 a pound there isa ready sale for them. At the higher prices they are sold almost exclusively for the use of in- valids. There isa sale for all that are produced, but the production is great, and the vines may die from exhaustion after «Jingle séason of forcing.
The :.ext most costly fruit is the hot- house peach. Hothouse peaches sell in February gt $2.50 each. They are used mainly by invalids, but such peaches are also often sold for gifts. ey are presented as flowers or as bonbons would be. Three or four peaches are packed in cotton and set off with a few peach leaves in a handsome box. Hothouse peaches run down to about 60 cents each in April and May, when we begin to get the first of the peaches from the south.—New Yerk Sun.

All animals, domestic ones included, become restless before a storm. Cats and dogs scratch and move about, while their fur looks less bright and glossy than usual. It is always a sure sign of rain when horses and cattle scratch their necks and sniff the air.

THE WONDERS OF A WATCH. Few Persons Know How Great Its Mar- velous Powers Are.
A Boston jeweler who has a talent for advertising as well asa genius for mechanics has been reminding his pa- trons lately that a watch is the small- est, most delicate machine that was ever constructed of the same number of parts, About 175 different pieces of ma- terial enter into its construction and upward of 2,400 separate operations are corm, vised in its manufacture.
some of the facts connected with its per are simply incredible, when considered in total. A blacksmith strikes several thousand blows on his anvil in a day and is right glad when Sunday comes around, but the roller
rmance
jewel of a watch makes every day and day after day 432,000 impacts against | the fork, or 157,680,000 blowsin a year without stop or rest, or 38,158,600,000 in the short space of 20 years.
These figures are beyond the grasp of our feeble intellects, but the marvel does not stop here. It has been estimat- ed that the power that moves the watch is equivalent to only four times the | force used in a flea’s jump; consequent- ly it might be called a four flea power. One horsepower would suffice to run 270,000,000 watches.
Now the balance wheel of a watch is moved by this four flea power one and forty-three one-hundredths inches with each vibration—3,55834 miles continu- ously in one year.
If you would preserve the timekeep-
take it to a competent watchmake: once every 18 months.—Youth’s Companion.
