Skill of Needle Makers.

An expert workman in one of the great needle factories, in a recent test of skill, performed- one of the most delicate feats imaginable. He took a common sewing needtfe of medium size, one and five-eighth inches in length, and drilled a hole through its entire length, from eye to point, the opening being just large enough to permit the passage of a vejy fine hair.

DOMESTIC MARTYRS.

Lots of women suffer constantly, and seldom utter complaint. Good men rarely know the pain endured- by the women of their own household, or the efforts they make to appear cheerful and happy when they ought to be in bed, their suffering is really so great.

To Make a Shinny Stick.

A bright boy writing to the St Nicholas telle how shinny sticks are made. “I get sticks,” he writes, “as nearly straight as possible and bend them at home. I have a board made like this: There are two pins at one end, at 1 and 2, around which the stick Is bent; and at the other end are two rows of holes Into which a pin. No. 3, can be put to hold the handle In place. When the sticks—they should be as green as possible—are in place on the board I put the whole thing in the back of the

furnace, where tha stiqk will bake. In dbout two days the sap is dried out and the stick will keep its curve. "Then I take a belt lace—a leather string about half an inch wide and ono sixteenth of an inch thick—and bind It on the short end. If the stick is split, I bind it first with brass wire and then put the leather binding over the brass.'”

May Prove Interesting.

In the Tyrol girls who are fond of cats marry early. The Pennsylvania Dutch believe black cats cure epilepsy Throwing a cat overtioard from a ship will cause a cyclone. If the family cat lies with its back to the fire there will be a squall. If a cat sneezes three times the whole family will soon suffer from influenza. The more honest our intentions are the less suspicious are we of others’ designs. Cleverness is a sort of genius for instrumentality. It is the brain of the hand. The lotus in India is emblematic of life; in ancient Egypt it was a death flower. Beiore we boast of how bad we have been, we had better be sure we are not that way still. The purple columbine, in both England and Scotland, is symbolic of determination. Over 7,000 varieties of microscopic sea shells have been enumerated by naturalists. Say what you please, the greatest pleasure In the world is to scratch when you Itch. They say an ostrich can digest anything. We wonder if an ostrich ever tried radishes? To dream of a black cat at Christinas time In Germany Is an' omen of farming Illness. i If it rains on a Dutch girl’s wedding day it is because the bride has forgotten to feed her cat. When a woman contracts the habit of chasing the .men, it is as hard to recover from as the tobacco habit Mothers who have had experience say that big children cause them a great deal .more worry than babies. In Ireland the cat must not be taken to a new house by a moving family, especially If water has to be crossed. Every stop a woman makes when she is traveling she sits down in the depot and writes a letter on her knee. A cat born in May will be of a melancholy disposition, given to catching snakes and bringing them into the house. There are very few things in this world worth getting angry about, and they are precisely the things which anger does not help. We are ruined, not by what we really want, but by what we think we want; it is wise, therefore, never to go abroad in search of our wants. In the'south of France the handling of a sweet pea by a young woman to a young man is a polite way of stating that she is tired of his company. The Jesuits have purchased the famous palace Mondragone, near Frascati, Italy, from Prince Borghese, for SBO,OOO. It will be used as an institute. Spirits of,turpentine is one of the most valuable articles for family use. ItJ medical qualities are very numerous. For burns it is a good application, and gives immediate relief; for blisters on the hands it is of priceless value; for corns on the toes it Is useful; and It is beneficial for rheumatism and, sore throats. It was formerly believed that the hairs composing the fur of the ermine, which is brown in summer and white in winter, could not change their hue, and that the difference in color between the summer and winter coats of the animal arose solely from the fact that at the beginning of winter the summer fur is shed and a new coat of snowy whiteness takes its place. Lately, however, experiments have shown that if an ermine wearing its warm-weather coat is subjected to a lowering of temperature, its brown fur will quickly become white without shedding of the hair. It remains true, however, that the ordinary winter dress of the ermine is put on only when the summer one falls off.

AT HOME AMONG DYNAMOS.

Mrs. Helene Walton, a Practical Engineer and Mechanic. Edison, Tesla and many minor lights in the electrical world were present in New York at the electrical exhibition, but it is doubtful if any one of them attracted more attention or excited more Interest than did a sharp-eyed little woman who was practically the controlling genius of the entire show. This

was Mrs. Helene Walton, whose chief sphere of operations was on the ground floor of the exhibition building. Her fluty there was to look after the whirring dynamos and powerful- engines, all of which she thoroughly understands, being a practical engineer and mechanic of the highest grade. Withjut her the thousands of electric lights could noj shine, nor would the many models run. Mrs. Walton kept an eye on the gauges and not a thing in the room escaped her attention. The men obeyed her orders with pleasure,' and the throbbing engines and dynamos sent pulses of power through the great building. “I don’t exactly need the men," said Mrs. Walton to a visitor, “but the management thought it would be better to have them around In case a steam pipe should break or something get out of order. I always did Jlke to be around boilers and engines. I met my husband in an engine-room and that decided my future. He is an engineer and I cling to the work for the love of machinery. I wouldn’t be a typewriter or a clerk in any store. Women can do any work that men can, and they’re going to monopolize all occupations. In a few years there won’t be anything for men to do but wash dlsUes."

CHEATING THE TREASURY.

Attempts Are Frequently Made, but They Are Rarely Successful. Frauds on the redemption division of the treasury are constantly being tried. What are called “drawer scraps” are presented almost every day with demands for new money in exchange. These are the torn-off fragments of notes which are found in tills and cash drawers. A young man employed in a New York bank once sent in a boxful of them, claiming S2OO. They were the result of many sweepings carefully accumulated. Unfortunately they represented SI,OOO or more, if anything, and the youth was lucky to escape prison. An Ohio woman not long ago mailed to the treasury a number of rolled-up pellets of paper, which she said represented a $5 note torn up by a child. The pellets were straightened out and found to be thirteen center strips cut lengthwise from as many $5 bills. It is hardly necessary to say that the woman got nothing in return. People seem to think that Uncle Sam is precious green; at the same time the redemption division does get cheated now and then, undoubtedly. Late in the year 1892 it was discovered in the redemption division that the full number of SSOO notes of the series of 1874 had been redeemed. Nevertheless, notes of this series were still coming in for redemption. At first it was thought that there had been an overissue by some strange mistake. Accordingly all of these notes from that time on were withheld from -the customary destruction, and their numbers were registered for the purpose of seeing If duplicates would appear. But no duplicates did appear and It Is now believed that the trouble arose from nn error on the part of the officials ap-

POPULAR COLORED PREACHER.

Rev. Bowen Who First Led the Ballotins for Bishops at Cleveland. Rev. J. W. E. Bowen, the colored Methodist minister, who at the outset led the balloting for bishops at the Cleveland general conference, was born of slave parents at New Orleans in 1854. His Intense religious nature manifested at the early age of 16, when he bhcffhe converted. Young Bowen started out tq get a good education and sucfj&'defl. He entered the University of New Orleans and left it with the degree of A. B. Passing through tßoston University, he was a bachelor of divinity and- was later given his full degree in philosophy by that school. He was made doctor of divinity at Gammon Theological Seminary in 1893. For a time he filled the chair of mathematics In Central Tennessee College, was pastor of St. John's Church, at Newark, N. J., and of Centennial Church, at Baltimore. He has filled such positions as the chair of church history in Morgan College, of Hebrew in Howard University, and of historical theology in Gammon Seminary. He has been a hard wprker and a voluminous writer. His publications include a volume of sermons and addresses: “Plain Talks to the Colored People of America,” '92. Address at the dedication of the negro building, Cotton States and International Exposition: “Appeal to the King"; address

before the Congress on Africa of the same exposition, “The Comparative Status of the Negro at the Close of the War and To-day.” In these addresses he pleaded for higher education of leaders of the colored people.

at one time. In fact, its cavity has been used as a chapel. It was cast as long ago as 1730, and the great gap In Its side was made soon after the mass of metal cooled. This fracture was due to a flaw made, It is believed, by the jewelry, coin and precious metal thrown Into the liquid by the ladles of the city. The piece which fell out weighed eleven tons, and this accident practically ruined the work. Through the aperture thus left a tall man may pass without stooping. In the tower near it hang not less than thirty-six bells, two of which are silver. The largest in the tower weighs 130,000 pounds.

TINIEST BABY.

Midget Frances the Small* eat Mortal Ever Born. Just a mite of humanity is Frances Donnelly, of 722 Columbus avenue, New York. She Is a remarkable baby and has puzzled doctors and nurses. When born she weighed a trifle more than a pound, and now, when she is three months old, she only weighs five and a half pounds. The doctors, when the tiny child was born, said she could not live, and so did the nurses, but little Miss Donnelly has upset their predictions. The Donnelly baby Is, perhaps, the smallest one that was ever born. Her clothes would easily fit a big French doll that “speaks" and opens and closes Its eyes. A 25-cent piece covers either of her hands, and a dime conceals an ear. Her mouth is just distinguishable by a light line that looks like a very fine white thread. Doll stockings cover the tiny feet.

Gladness Comes With a better understanding of ths transient nature of the many physical ills which vanish before proper efforts—gentle efforts—pleasant efforts—rightly directed. There is comfort ia the knowledge that so many forma of sickness are not due to any actual disease, but simply to a constipated condition of the system. Which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs, promptly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions es families, and u everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that it is the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness, without debilitating ths organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its beneficial effects, to note when yon purchase, that you have the genuine article, which is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all reputable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, then laxatives or other remedies are not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one I may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, then one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfaction.
