saloon diud and was buried in a small
lot just back of the; saloon. Jackson i
very sup rstitius, especially abut

haa cxprcsirl his fear of seeing Sin man's
giiot several times. List night two ne
gro boys cover-id their facias, hands an.,
heads with flour and hid near I !i3 grave.
When Jackson came along they rushed
out, and, after yelling a time or two. rah
it is i in. The poor m-gro was completely
paralyzed with fright. He screamed am:
fell to tha ground.. The other two m
groes rushed up, and Jackson sprang b
h'.s feet with his eyes fairly starting
from their sockets, and dashed off like a
wild antelope, lis ran into a drug stor
and fell -to the floor unconscious and
frothing at the mouth. Physicians wen

The mahing of the hair spring is really
tho :(.:'! delicate opL-ration about the
ma'.niir.ctuiv of the watch. The wire is
received in spool's, and is nothing more
than a round thu-ad. This is inn bet ween
hardened steel rollers and tbuU-m-d, and,
being worm I ri the. k-11, Is then drawn
between diamond dies, which gjVe the re
quired thickness and width. The spring
must be of exact iy the same width and
thickness, and before being used is tested
on a register which marks down t one
two hundred and fifty t2.oosa:..Uiis of au
inch.
To show to what fir:enFS this meas
ures, a hair p-I iced l:eiw.-eu the jaws
marked 400 , and moved forwtud 'halt

Of eonrs-e. evtiy one knows that a hair
vrries in ildclciitss, but that it fci.ould bo
so c-xrteTly i::ea.--u;-ed is h surj ri.-o; and
when it i.i nmembi rc-d that the hair
spring of a waieh cannot vary even so
much as tiie variance in a hair from the
human head, tiie delicacy of the operation
v.iil bo e.iipha-ied in the imaeination.
Tho wire is received in Ui.gtl.s "of 1,000
yards, and in thi-j entire length must not
vary ii 5, cr uue-lhirtie-ih of what a hair
varies in half an inch. The spring is then
cut into lengths of twelve inches, and
th-se are wound, four at a time, and very
quickly, the tool resembling a large pen
holder, and turning from the end, into
the shape of a spring and of seventeen
colls. The wire is hardened, brt winds
very easily, and is rv-j.-.ed from tiie
winder in r.-ppe.r boxes. Globe-Democrat.
