The Thimble.

The name of this little instrument is
said to have been derived from thumb
BELL" being at first humble and after
ward thimble. 1t is of Dutch invention,
and was brought to England about the
year 1905, by John Lofting, who com,
menced its manufacture at Islington, near
London, and pursued it with great profit
and success. Formerly 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 Thin
bles are manufactured to large extent.
Thin sheets of sheet iron are cut into
dies of about two inches in diameter.
These being heated red hot, are stuck
with a punch into a 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 meals of small wheel. 1t is
then converted into steel by the cemen-
tation process, tempered, secured, and
brought to blue color. A thin sheet of
gold is then introduced into the interior,
aud fastened to the steel by means of a
polished steel mandril. Gold leaf is then
applied to the outside, and attached to it
by pressure, the edges being fastened in
a small groove made to receive them.
The thimble is then 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, may be easily re-.
placed, but the steel is of an excellent
quality and very durable.

IT WAS touching answer of Chris
tian sailor, when asked why he remained
so calm in fearful storm, when the sea
seemed ready to devour the ship He
was not sure that he could swim; but he
said, "Though l sink, shall but drop
into nv Fathers hand, for He holds all
these waters there.

SUNSHINE IN SLEEPING Rooms. Sunshine
is as necessary to the health of animals as
plants and we should contrive, if possible, to
have our sleeping rooms upon the east and
south sides of the house. We want more sun
light of the material kind, as well as the spir-
itual, in our houses Faded carpets ~ you
exclaim. Then out with them, or let them
fade Better thousand times than have the
roses fade from the cheeks of wives and chill

DEATH OF A YOUNG GIRL IN THE ToMBs.

The records of our police courts so fruitful in
