Needle Making.

Needles are made of steel wire. The wire
is first cut out by shears, from coils, into the
length of the needles TO be made = After q
batch of such bits Of wire has been cut of,
they are placed in hot furnace, then taken
out and rolled backward and forward until
they are straight They are now to be ground
The needle pointer takes up two dozen or so
Of the wires and rolls them between his
thumb and fingers with their ends on the
grindstone, first on one end and then on the
other Next is machine which Aattens and
cutters the heads of ten thousand needles in
an hour. Next comes the punching of the
eyes, done by n boy so fast that the eye can
hardly keep pace with him. The splitting
follows, which is running fine wire through
dozen, perhaps, of these twin handles A
woman with little anvil before her files be-
tween the heads and separates them They
are now complete needles, but they are rough
and rusty and easily bent The hardening
comes next They are l.eated in patches in q
furnace, and when red-hot are thrown into
pan of cold water Next they must be tenn
pered, and this is done by rolling them back
ward and forward on hot metal plate. The
polishing still remains to be done On very
coarse cloth needles are spread TO the number
OF forty or fifty thousand Emery dust is
strewn over them, oil is sprinkled and soft
soap daubed over the cloth; the cloth is rolled
up hard, and with several others of the same
kind, thrown into sort Of wash-pot to roll to
and fro for twelve hours or more. They come
out dirty enough; but after rinsing in clean
hot water and a tossing in saw-dust, they be-
come bright and are ready to be sorted and
put up for sale

A French opinion of England.

What astonishes some men is the extreme
facility whit which England at the present
moment recedes and becomes the England of
other days, without regard to all the trouble
taken to reform her Despite Disraeli and
his paladins of young England, despite Cob
den and his bales Of cotton, despite Bright
and his peace theories, despite Gladstone and
his vague evangelical, humanitarian ideas, the
present generation backs, rears, will not ad-
vance with the age, but starts back to the
days of yore We have a striking proof of il
in the recent prize-fght, which so scandalized
the French public the other day. 1t is moth
ing more than the awakening of 'the beast,
which it attempted TO smother with money
bags. but which, at a given moment, rises,
stretches itself, and, with terrific roar, sends
the vile coin right and left, for the sole pleas
ure of being at ease, and feeling that it is
alive. Whatever disgust this may cause you,
beg Of you, nevertheless, to take it for what
itis-a signl the sign of how this nation is
bored to death by all the ultra-civilizing no
tions shouted into !ss ears for the last fifteen
years Observe that Lord Lovaine, in assu-
ming as regards the recent prize-fght the
views Of every well-bred man on the conti-
nent, ran foul Of the Englishman Of the old
school, represented by Lord Palmerston.
Now, the latter, whatever faults he may have,
has always shown himself perfect gentleman
in word and deed; but he is thoroughbred
Englishman, an Englishman to the backbone,
and by no means inclined 10 relinquish the
popularity he enjoys at the present moment
on that very account-Ami de Ia Religion.

The discipline OF Daily Life.

The reason why we have so many crosses,
trials, wrongs and pains, is here made evident
We have not one too many for the successful
culture of our faith. The great thing, and
that which it is most of all difficult to produce
in us, is participation of Christs forgiving
gentleness and patience. This if we can
learn it, is the most difficult and the most dis
tinctively Christian Of all attainments There
fore, we need continual discipline of occa
sions poverty, sickness, bereavements OPP
pressions prosecutions, losses, treacheries,
Misrepresentation we can hardly have too
many for our own good, if only we receive
them as our Saviour did his cross. 1t is by
Just these refining fires of trial and suffering,
that we are to be most advanced in that to
which we aspire.
We have not too many occasions given us for
the exercise of patience; which is yet more
evident when we consider the Christian power
of patience How many are there who by
reason of poverty, obscurity, infrmty of mind
or body, can never hope to do so much by ac-
ton, and who often sigh at the contemplation
of their want of power to effect anything.
But it is given TO them, as to ALL who suffer
let them only suffer well and they will give a
testimony for God, which all who know them
will deeply feel and profoundly respect. 1t is
not necessary for all men TO be great in action.
The greatest and sublimest power is often sim
pie patience and for just that reason we
need sometimes to see its greatness alone, that
we may embrace the solitary, single idea of
such greatness, and bring it into our hearts
unconiused with all other kinds of power

How BOnnet Frames are Made.

The editor of the Scientific American has
recently visited bonnet mauufactory, and
says;
Bonnet frames are fashioned with rapid-
ty and an economy in the expenditure of labor
which astonishes one who beholds il for the
first time A square piece of foundation lace
properly starched or made stiff with a suitable
gum, is placed upon copper block Of the
shape of bonnet, and is, by the foot of the
workman upon treadle pressed into cop
per mould of corresponding form, which Is
heated and kept at the proper temperature by
an ingenious device. Being held in this hot
mould for an instant, when the block is with
drawn the lace is taken off, permanently
pressed in the shape for hat A boy then
trims away the impressed edges, and the girls
sew on the wire supports. II is in this wire
arrangement that Mr. Wilds has made his inn
proyement He uses very small iron wire,
and has it wound very thickwith cotton for the
edge of the bonnet which gives him a remark
ably smooth and perfectly finished edge Of
binding Then his wires which run inward to
support this edge are very delicate and COW
cred with silk so that the Star Of Fame, as he
has named it, not only preserves its shape
perfectly but is remarkably light and elegant
OF course ii is necessary TO have a copper
mould not only for every change Of fashoa,
but for every variety of form required and
we observed block Of plaster Of Paris in the
process of being fashioned to suit some one

The Relation OF the sexes.

Strange, and passing strange, that the rela-
ton between the two sexes, the passion OF
love, in short should not be taken into deeper
consideration by our teachers and our legisla-
tors. People educate and legislate as if there
was no such thing in the world; but ask the
priest, ask the physician-let them reveal the
amount of moral and physical results from
this one cause. Must love always be discuss
ed in blank verses, as if it were thing to be
played in tragedies or sung in songs-a sub
ject for pretty poems and wicked novels, and
had nothing TO do with the prosiac current of
everyday existence, our moral welfare2 Must
love be ever treated with profaneness, as a
mere illusion2 or with fear, as a mere dsease2
or with coarseness as mere impulse2 or
with shame, as mere weakness? or with lev
ity, as a mere ACCIDENT Whereas, il is a
great mystery, and great necessity, lying at
the foundation of human existence, morality
and appiness-mysterious universal, ineyta-
BILE as death. Why, then, should love be treat
ed less seriously than death? 1t is as serious
thing. Mrs Jameson.

Home Life,

If home life is well ordered the children
having, according to age, working'time play
time, books games and household sympathies,
they will love home and find pleasure there
Give the little ones states and pencils, and en-
courage their attempts to make pictures,
Drawing will amuse them when noisy plays
have lost their zest, or are unseasonable and
the art will be useful to them in after life
Have them read to each other stories and par
agraphs OF your selections, and save the funny
things and the pleasant ones you see in papers
and books to read to them at your leisure
You cannot imagine how much it will bind
them to you. But choose well for them for
the impressions made on their minds now
will last when the hills crumble Have them
mutually interested in the same things,
amusements and upations-having speci-
fed times for each, so that their habits will be
orderly. Let them work together in the gar
den-boys and girls-both need outofdoor
work. Together let them enjoy their
games riddles, etc-all their plays, books,
and work, while the parents eyes direct and
sympathize, and their loud voices blend in
loving accord.
