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.

POLITICIANS WHO ARE BUND
Wrapped Up in* Their Own Ideas.
They Refuse to Recognize Any
Change in the Times.
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.? Benjamin Jowe't
in his introduction to Plato's l'opublic.

Will Power.
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.

"What would you call that girl's
countenance who is constantly
changing her expression?"
"That is the mobile face."
"And the one with the fixed, expressionless

But I'm up against a terrible problem

"What's the matter?"
"I can't find any place to hang

"What one thing have that couple
in common?"
"I don't know, unless it is that she
' is dove-eyed and he is pigeon-toed."
