HOW NEEDLES ARE FASHIONED ^Operation of Productlng Useful Household Implement by No Mecne a Simple One. The first step in the manufacture of needles is the cutting of the steel wiYo. bv shenrs. from coils into tlin length of the needles to he made. When such hits a? have been cut out have been given n hath, thov are then * placed in a furnace, after which they %are rolled until per fee* lv s'raight. Then a needle-pointer takes up a dozen or so of the wires and rolls them between his thumb and finger, their ends being applied to a turning grindstone, first one and then the other being ground. Next the little 6teel bobbins are fed into a machine that flattens and gutters the heads, after which operation the eyes are punched. Complete needles are now at hand, but they are rough and easily bent. Careful tempering gives them the noessnry hardness, and they need nothing more but a final polish. The needles are spread, to the number of forty or fifty thousand, on a coarse cloth. Emery dust is strewed over them, oil is sprinkled on, and soft soap daubed over the cloth, which, rolled tightly, is thrown into a pot with others where it rolls about for twelve hours or more. When taken from this friction hath the noodles are given a rinsing in clean, hot water, and then are ready for the sorters and packers.

As the philosopher is apt to fail j in the routine of political life, so j the ordinary statesman is also ant to J fail in extraordinary crises. When, j the face of the world is beginning to alter, and thunder is heard in the 1 distance, lie is still guided by his old ! maxims, and is the slave to his in j veternte party prejudices, lie cannot ! p rceive <lie signs of the times: in! p'ead of looking forward he looks hack; he learns nothing and forgets nothing; with "wise saws and modern instances" he would stem the risj irg tide of revolution. Re lives more ! and more within the circle of his ; own party, as the world without him becomes stronger. This seems to he the reason why the old order of things makes so poor a figure when confronted with the new, why churches can never reform, whv most political changes are made blindly and convulsively. The great crises in the history of nations have often been met by an ecclesiastical posit iveness, and a more obstina*0 rcassertion of the principles wliich bnvc lost their hold upon the nation. The fixed ideas of a reactionary statesman may he compared to madness; Uiey grow upon him and he becomes possessed hv them; no judgment of others is ever admitted hv him to he weighed in the balance against his own.?

Of the late General Booth's en- i ton rape on his motor ear tours one : of the most interesting personalities was his stolid, lean-faced chauffeur. During the roadside services which , he started at Lands End, (Mrnwall, on his first motor trip through Enp- j land the general would place his i hands on the hack of the driver's seat, hut as he warmed to his subject he clutched the shoulders of the chauffeur and used the flat surface of the man's cap as other preachers use the pulpit ledge, tapping on it with his knuckles to drive home his I points. The way the chauffeur kept his countenance during those moments of oxtrnord nary publicity was a triumph of stoi 'sin ; with his two hands on the wheel, he stared steadily at the bonnet of his car, a monument of i nmobilitv, the only person wi'hin hearing of the sermon on whom the general's burning words hud no apparent elTeot.
