The THIMBLE.-Thenam of this little
instrument is said to have been derived
from thumble-bell, being at first
humble and afterwards thimble 1t is
of Dutch invention, and was brought to
England about the year 1905, by John
Lofting, who commenced its manufacture
at lslington, near London, and pursued
1t with great profit and success. Former
ly iron and brass were used, but latterly
steel, silver and gold have taken their
places. In the ordinary manufacture,
thin plates of metal are introduced into
die, and then punched into shape. In
Paris, gold thimbles are manufactured to
a large extent. Thin sheets of sheet
IRON, are cut into dies of about twoincbes
IN diameter. These being heated red hot,
are struck with punch into number of
holes, gradually increasing in depth to
give them proper shape. The thimble is
then trimmed, polished, and indented
around its outer surface with number
of little holes, by means of small wheel.
1t is then converted into steel by the
concentration process. tempered, secured,
and broughtto blue color. Athin sheet
OF gold is then introduced into the in
terror and fastened to the steel by means
OF polished steel mandril. Gold leaf
is then applied to the outside, and attach
ed to 1T by pressure, the edges being fast
ened in small groove made to receive
them. The thimble is then made ready
for use. Those made in this manner do
not wear out, as so many ordinary gold
thimbles do, but will last for years. The
gold coating, if cut away by needles, NAV
be easily replaced, but the steel is of an
excellent quality and very durable.

SAINT ALBANs BurTER.-The town
of St, Adams, in Vermont, has within
few years come into great note as the
principal butter market in New England.
A travelling correspondent of the Boston
Daily Advertiser, writing from that
place, says;
Inquiry convinced me that this week.
ly market for the sale of dairy products
at St. Adams was not only Of interest to
the tradesmen and farmers of that re-
gion, but also exerted an important IN
fluence on prices in Boston. For as sup
plies therefrom are during the summer
months largely obtained from st. AL
bans, prices decline or advance as farm
crs sell or withhold their product. The
farms of Franklin county are mainly de-
voted to dairy products, and St. Adams
is the chief shipping point for these ar
ticles. There were sent from this station
last year 2,720,2S4 pounds of butter,
nearly all of which went to BOSTON,
There are thirteen buyers who control
the market and through whose hands the
entire product passes, Most of these
men are paid commission OF cent
pound for buying, although one or two
of them receive salary, and few oc-
casionally are jointly interested. As a
class these men are sharp and shrewd,
and can tell "hawk from a handsaw"
at single glance. Tuesday each week
is market day, on which some three hun
bred farmers from every town in Frank
lin County bring in their products for
sale. Sales are always made for cash,
and the amount paid out weekly varies
from $4,000 to $4,000 in sums ranging
from So to $3.50. None of the farmers
keep less than ten cows, and few of
them own a hundred each.
Market day possesses peculiar attrac-
tions to large portion of the people of
st. Adams, and everybody who hopes to
turn an "honest penny" out Of the farm
ers is up betimes. By eight o'clock the
farmers begin to arrive, and soon the
streets leading into the village are alive
with vehicles of all descriptions.
A few diaries that are well known are
bought without inspection, but the most
of it is sold on its merits, after being
tested by the buyer. This is done by in
sorting an instrument called fryer
through the entire mass, which when
taken out is filled with butter. This is
drawn beneath the nose of the buyer,
that he may judge of its quality What
remains is then replaced in the package.
The process is rather amusing-if one
happens to dislike butter.
1t not unfrequently happens that the
farmers demand higher price than the
buyers are willing to pay, and then for
an hour or two there is dead lock in
trade; by and by word comes up the
street that Noble, or Pierce, or some 9TH
er buyer has acceded to the demands of
the farmers, and then there is a rush
the buyers and their assistants are busy.
and make short work with the butter
tryers, and railroad employees redouble
their efforts to take care of the tubs. By
II o'clock the sales for the day are over,
the butter is weighed in the balances,
and at A o'clock it is packed in the re-
frigerator car and en- route for Boston
