NEEDLES OF ALL KINDS.

One needle is a pretty small item, but the daily consumption of something like 3,000,000 'needles all over the world makes a pretty big total. Every year the women of the United States break, lose and use about 300,000,000 of those little instruments."

Our meedias are the faished products of American ingenulty, skill and workmanship, and yet how many people, threading a needle or taking a stitch, have ever given a thought to the various processes through which the wire must pass ere it comes out a needle? The manufacture of a single needle includas soma. twenty-one or twenty-two different processes, as follows: Cutting the wire into lengths;

straightening, by subbing while heated point. ing the ends on grindstones; stamping impres: being pierced by screw presses; splitting. sion for the ayes; grooving; eyeing, the eye

threading the double needle by the eyes on short lengths of fine wire; filiog, removing the "check" left on each side of the eye by stamp ing: breaking, separating the; two needles on. to one length of wire; heading,beads filed and smoothed to remove the burs left by stamping and breaking; hardening in oil, the needle is thus made brittle; temporing: picking, separat ing those crooked in hardening: straighten ing the crooked onen; scouring and polishing; | bluing, softening the eyer by heat; drilling or cleaning out the sides of the eye; head-grind tog; point-setting, or the Gnal,sharpening, final polishing then papering, and finally labelling. For wrapping, purple paper ísutade because it prevents rusting.

There are many corts and kinds of needles: First, there is the surgeon's growsome outfit- the probing needle, made for attacking bullets, or hidden cavities of pus; the hairlip needle,. the long pins for pinning open wounds, the post-mortem needia of curious pattern, Soma if these little instruments are thin, some are thick; others are long and, straight: others, again, curve once, twice or three times. The veterinary surgeon has his special outfit also. The cook's needles are wonderfully, fearfully made. His larding needle is used to sew pieces of meat together; the trussing needle, is made on purpose to insert melted butter or sauce right into the vitals of a Christmas tur- hey; it is hollow and has a large opening into which the sauce is poured. Nor less interest ing are the needles which the upholsterer uses; some are half curved and some have round points. He has needles with curious, eyes long, round, egg and counter-sunk eyes; the same kinds of needles are used by

Then there are collar-makers,

the deli- cate needles used by wigmakers, glove. inakers and weavers; these are often as fios at a bair. The glove needies are splendid speci- mens of skillful workmanship; the finest of them have three-cornered points. The great ail needle, which has to be pushed with a steel palm would puzzle most people; so, too, the broommaker's needle, which must also be pushed with a steel palm. The curious knitt- ing machine needle, with its latchet; the arrasene and crewell needles and the scodies for shirring machines; the weaver's piu for picking up broken threads, with an open eye in the hook. The long instrument used by milliners, the needle of the tag baler, the kaife-point bam needle in the stockyards, the astrakhan needle-there and other varieties do not call for special notice.

The needle, as we see it to-day, is the evol ved product of centuries of invention. In its primitive farm it was made of bone, ivary or wood. The making of Spanish needle was introduced into England during the reign of Queen Elizabeth. Point by point this manu- facture has improved, until the little instru ment is one of the highly-finished products of nineteenth century machinery and skill.-H. K. Christy, in Scientific American.

Otto Young, a Chicago brewer who has left $10,000,000, has followed the growing practice of American men of means by tying up his estate for as long a period as American law permits a trust.

They can receive an in- come for a period as long as the longest life..... among them, the property being held together for that period; or he can leave it all to one heir and his heir, if living.

In this particular instance Oite Young bus made it certain that his estate will be kept to: gether for nineteen years, and perhaps longer, by providing that his daughters shall be paid the income of the estate as long as they live without its division, but if all three of them die, before his youngest grandson, now 3, reaches the age of 23, the estate shall be divided when titif grandson reaches his majority.
