Curious Facts About Ucudks.
An matter of facts, the art of need!'!
making was kept secret until ;iemr
650, when it was reveaicd I )
Christopher (Jreeninp; In liie little
town of Kedditch, a tew miles from
Birmingham, the needle in.ikt.rs still
ply their trade for all the 'world.
1'wenty thousand people make over
a hundred millions of needles a vear.
From the ugly pig of iron to the fairy
like needles are manifold processes,
but probably the drilling of the eye
is the most interesting of all. 1 he ex
perts can easily perforate a hair, and
thread it with its own end. The steel
wire is cut into the length of a bristle,
and the needles arc born as twins,
heads together, feet furthest apart.
In the old days the end were sharpen
ed at a cost of life that made this in
dustry more deadly than war. The
"grinders asthma" by which strong
men's lungs were inwardly ground to
pieces by inhaled particles of steel,
slew tens of thousands of strong men.
Now, a blast of air away from the
grindstone makes a grinder's life a
first-class risk for insurance companies.
tempering, annealing, and polishing
are all worth seeing in the process.
So easily and cheaply can English
needles be made and exported, that
on our American tariff needles stand
on the free list. We have no hand-
needle industry to be protected. We
still depend on John Bull and the
gentleman who wears the spiked
neimct.
But do not our Yankees.who invent,
who harness the river, the lightning,
am the c.'nld of wedded fire and
water to tio their work, make any
neediest1
Yes; for it was the Yankee who
made the needle turn a somersault.
All the world since the first fig leaf
sewers thread the needle in one fash
ion. It was the Yankee who dis
covered that it was threaded at the
wrong end. He declared the busi
ness end of a needle to be, like that
of a bee, farthest from its head.
Either Elias Howe, or the other man,
who did not win the lawsuit, was the
first man who, like the hero in Greek
mythology, held the "eye" in his hand
and put it where he would. He drill
ed the needle and inserted the thread
at the other end, and set it in arms
of steel, multiplying its potency. As
Americans gave the world the sewing
machine and a new kind of needles,
so they manufacture this sort and this
only. At Springfield, Massachusetts,
the National Needle Company make
and finish every year thirty million
machine needles. Prussia, the great
War Power, put a spike on her helm
and a needle in her gun, and with the
latter humbled Austria. The United
States, which, as President Arthur de
clared, is the great Pacific Power, put
her needle in frame and treadle to
lighten toil and clothe the naked.
Probably there is a true parable here
"As naked as a needle" is an old
proverb, yet, though nude and limbless
the needle has features and anatomy.
Yet all the world does not see eye
to eye, as their terms and description
show. Missionaries who translate the
gospel, in which a camel and a needle
a rich man and the kingdom of
heaven, meet only to separate, must
keep their own eyes open. The
translator of the Coreans New
Testament had to write, "It is
easier for a camel to go through the
ear of a needle." And this though
the Coreans, like the Japanese and
unlike the Chinese, wear no ear-rings.
The ear of the needlf! Ha! ha! what
gossip could the steel give to a
tongue, had it one ?
In English literature how often the
needle shines ! The open book of
London street names a volume of
English literature in itself tells of
Threadneedle Street. There were
three needles in the arms of the
Needle-makers' Company of London,
but "the Old Lady of 'Threadneedle
Street" is the Bank of England. All
England took up Cobbett's epithet,
which stuck to this Mrs. Partington of
his time. Does not Dr.. Marigold
call a bank-note "a silver curl-paper
which I myself took off the shining
locks of the ever beautiful lady"?
From great Shakespeare to the poet
of "Sunset and Evening Star," the
shining inch or two is often mentioned.
Even inpolitics and controversy an act
of Parliament is only "the needle to
draw in the thread" of the new
measure. Proverbs also and folk-lore
locate the needle in strange places.
Was the swain popping the question
when the haystack was made the
symbol of useless search? Is there more
of paganism than of Christianity in the
name " devil's needle" given to the
dragon-fly ? Are not our first parents
and their limitations pictured in the
term bestowed upon the thorns and
fibres of the yticcaplant, of "Adam's
needle and thread," while another
velvety leaf is namcJ "Adam's flannel"?
The greatest cure for pains of all
kinds, wnether proceeding from cuts
and burns, or from other ailments
such as neuralgia and rheumatism is
unquestionable Salvation Oil. This
popular and effective remedy has con
tinually gained in the confidence of
the people until it has become a
household desideratum. No dwelling
is completely equipped without it.

ON THE VERGE OF THE UNKNOWN.
An Kiiifritnrnt That Mali It
A.k,
"What Is (otiilng?"
Jlr. i . II. I'Ttfcp, chief rtijfiiippr and
deetrit inn to tho pustoflicrt, has put up a
wirr u mil" lonjr on tho connt noar Lav
erntw.'lt u:i'l ft uhorter 0110 on Fliithtilm.a
littlt- inliiud three mileH off in tho Brinto1
rhunut-1. He fittetl the latter wire with
a "Hotiniler" to reecivo mtwsnfjns, ivnd
Kt lit 11 niCHHitfrn through tho fortner from
a powerful telnphonic K'mrrntor. That
mcssngo on tho muinlnml was ilistinetry
heird on tho inlnnd, though nothing cou
nected tho two, tir, in ot licr wortl.H, the
jK)Hil)ility of a telephone between plaoer
unconnected by wire wiw conclusively
ctitabliHheil.
There in u iKisfiibility hero of inter
planetary communication, a (rood doaJ
nioro worthy attention than uny Bchem
fur milking; ngimtic electric flushes. We
do nut know if wo can communicate, ljy
telephone through tho ether to Now
York or Melbourne with or withont
cables, but we do know that, if we can
not, the f.nilt is in onr generators and
Bounders, and not in any prohibitory nat
ural law.
Will our hubituul readers beur with op
for a moment iw wo wander into another,
and, as many of them will think, annprs
sensual region? Tlio thought in a inane
bruin which causes him to advance bib
foot must move something in doing it,'
or how could it bo transmitted dow
that five or six feet of distance? If It
moves a physical something, internal t
tho body, why should it not move alar,
something external, a wavo, as we all
agree to call it, which on another mind
prepared to receive it fitted with a
sounder in fact will make an impact
having all tho effect in tho conveyance
of suggestion, or even of facts, of the
andibility of words? Why, in fact, If
one wire can talk to another without con
nection, save through ether, should not
mind talk to mind without any "wire"
at all.
None of us understands accurately, or
even as yet approximately, what the con
ditions are, but many of us know for
certain that they have occasionally, and
by what wo call accident, been present
to particular individuals, and that, when
present, tho communication is completed
without cables, and mind speaks to mind
independently of any machinery not ex
isting within itself.
Why, in the name of science, is that
more of a 'miracle" that is, an occur
rence prohibited by immutable law
thun the transmission of Mr. Preece's
message from Lavernock to Flatholm?--London
Spectator.
A Rainmaker to Be Depended I'pon.
Frederick W. Boot is a good deal of a
hoodoo. He gracefully acknowledges
the charge himself. It is a singular fact
that whenever he appears to deliver n
lecture the rain begins to fall. He is Sb
good a rain producer that he has serious
ly considered tho idea of utilizing hie
talents for that purpose in the arid re
gions of the west.
While at Silver Lake Assembly, in New
York state, he delivered a lectured am
musical tastes or a kindred subject. Hb
had delivered the same lecture a half
dozen times in the west, and tho refresh
ing shower came along each time before
he had half finished it.
But when he reached the Silver Lak
Assembly grounds the sky was bright,
and Mr. Koot congratulated himself
upon having shaken off his evil spirit
IIo mounted the rostrum, cleared hs
throat, and when ho had got as far as
"Friends and fellow citizens" the rum
ble of distant thunder grated harshly
upon liis ears. Yet he gathered up hiH
courage and went on, and before he had
delivered a quarter of his lecture tho
rain came down in torrents.
"Indeed," said Mr. ltoot, "I never saw
it rain 60 hard before." After the ad
dress a witty young Chicago woman wh4)
know of the hoodoo business suggested,
for tho convenience of tho public, that
nest year Mr. Koot should write a lec
ture upon a dry subject. Chicago Post.
Itnrinl Customs in Kentucky.
In the mountains of Kentucky when, a ,
husband dies his funeral sermon is not
preached until ufter tho death of tht
wife, nor that of a wifo until the hus
band also is dead. Then a preacher is
sent for, friends and neighbors are
called in, and tho respect is paid to both
together.
Moro peculiar is the custom of having
tho services for ono person repeated, so
that tho dead get their "funerals"
preached several times months and years
after their burial. I heard tho pitiful
story of two sisters who hud their moth
er's "funeral'' preached once every sum
mer as long as they lived.
In btritugi contrast with this regard
for ceremonial observances is their ueg
Lct of tho graves of their beloved, which
they do not seem at all to vinit when onco
closed or to decorate with thoso symbols
of affection which are tho common indi
cations of bereavement. "Blue Grass
