Two Curious Needles.

The King of Prussia recently visited q
needle manufactory in his kingdom, in
order to see what machinery, combined
with the human hand could produce. He
was shown a number Of superfine needles,
thousands Of which together did not
weigh half an onnce, and marveled how
such minute articles could be pierced with
an eye. But he was to see that in this
respect even something still finer and
more perfect could be created. The borcr
that is, the workman whose business it
is to bore the eyes in these needles-asked
for a hair from the monarch's head 1t
was readily given, and with a smile He
placed it at once under the boring machine,
made hole in it with the greatest care,
furnished it with thread, and then han
ded the singular needle to the astonished
King.
The second curious needle is in the pos
session Of Queen Victoria. 1t was made
at the celebrated needle manufactory at
Redditch, and represents the column
Trajan in miniature. This well-known
Roman column is adorned with numerous
scenes in scul lpture, which immortalize
Trajan's heroic actions in war. On this
diminutive needle, scenes in the life OF
Queen Victoria are represented in relief,
but so finely cut and so small that it re-
quires a magnifying glass to see them.
The Victoria needle, moreover, can be
opened it contains a number of needles
of smaller size, which are equally adorn-
ed with scenes in relief. Scientific

CHE Gimes, Netp BLOOMFIELD, 1Da,

spar was laid low, the rudder was almost
useless, and great leak had shown itself,
threatening to fill the ship. The crew
were all strong, willing men, and the
mates were practical seamen of the first
class, but after pumping for one whole
night, and still the water was gaining on
them, they gave up in despair, and pre-
pared to take to their boats, though they
might have known that no small boat
could ride in such a sea. The captain
who had been below with his charts, now
came up, he saw how the matters stood,
and with voice that | heard distinctly
above the roar of the tempest, he ordered
every man back to post.
1t was surprising to sec all those men
bow before the strong will of their cap
tain, and hurry back to their pumps.
The captain then started below to ex-
amino the leak. AS he passed me, asked
him if there was any hope, he looked at
me, then at the other passengers, who
had crowded up to hear the reply, and
said rebukingly:
g Yes, sir; there is hope as long as
an inch of this deck remains above wa
ter. When see none Of it then l shall
abandon the vessel, and not before; nor
one of my crew, sir. Everything shall
be done to save it, and if we fail it shall
not be from inaction. Bear hand every
one of you at the pumps"
Thrice during that day did we despair,
but the captains dauntless courage, per-
severance, and powerful will, mastered
every mind on board, and we went to
work again
" will land you safely at the dock, in
Liverpool" said he, IF you will be
men"
And he did land us safely, but the YES.
sci sunk, moored to the dock. The cap.
tain stood on the deck of his sinking YES
sci, receiving the thanks and blessings Of
the passengers as they passed down the
gang plank. I was the last one to leave
AS 1 passed, he grasped my hand and
said
Judge P, do you recognize
me ?"
[ told him 1 was not aware that I ever
saw him until 1 stepped aboard his ship

Badly Sold.

Mr.. A. called on farmer, and asked
him the price Of oats, and was informed
that they were worth thirty five cents
per bushel. He agreed to pay forty cents
on condi ition that he be permitted to
tramp them in the half bushels. TO
secure the bargain, he paid for twelve
bushels, and the next day took his wagon
and went after them. The farmer filled
the half bu,iilels, after which Mr.. A. got
in and gave most vigorous tramping
contracting their proportions considerably.
The farmer thereupon emptied the oats
into the bag, without filling up the meas
ure. Mr.. A. raved, but it was no use
The farmer hatl complied with his part of
the agreement, aud as an evidence, told
Mr.. A. after he had measured the oats,
he might tramp them all day.

Bsg~ A student at Ann Arbor having
remarked that men had more endurance
than women, lady present said she
would like to see the young men of the
University laced up in steel-ribbed cor
sets, with hoops, heavy skirts, trails,
high heels, paniers, chignons and dozens
Of hair pins sticking in their scalps,
cooped up in the house year after year,
with no exilarating exercise, no hopes
aims Or ambition in life, and see if they
could stand it as well as the girls,
" Nothing" said she, but the fact that
women, like cats, have nine lives, ena-
bles them to survive the present regime
to which custom dooms the sex"

pS~ An Irishman came into this
country, and soon after his arrival hired
out to farmer in western Vermont.
The farmer lived near sluggish stream
of water and kept geese. The geese had
their little goslings in or near the water,
when large black turtle came in sight,
she took one of the goslings and swallow
ed it-then hauled in his head and went
under the water the water. The Irish
man, on seeing this,went to the house
and reported as follows, go, Mistress
the geese was playing by the waiter,
when a great black baast, as fiat as pan
cake, came up out af the wahter and
swallowed it, and then swallowed his head
and went all over in the wather and
drooned hisself, he did !"

H@- When the Danes invaded Scot
land they availed themselves of the
pitch darkness of night to attack the
Scottish forces unawares. In approach
ing the Scottish camp unobserved, march
ing barefooted to prevent their tramp be-
ing heard, one of the Danes trod upon a
large prickly thistle, and the sharp cry
of pain which he instantly uttered, sud
denly apprised the Scots of their danger,
who Immediately ran to their arms, and
defeated the foe with great slaughter
The thistle was thenceforward adopted as
the national insignia of Scotland.

BOILS.
A Boys Composition.

A BOIL is generally very small at
N first, and fellow hardly notices it,
but in II few days it gets to be the big
gest Of the two, and the chap that has it
Is OF very little account i'll comparison
with his boil, which then &" has him."
Boils appear mysteriously upon various
portions Of the human body, coming
when and where they darn please" and
often i'll very inconvenlent places. Some
times solitary boil is the sum total Cf
the atllctlon, but frequently there is
" rubbsh-in' lot Of 'em" to help the first
one If Il bell comes anywhere on per-
son that person always wishes that it had
come somewhere else, although it would
puzzle him to say just where.
Some persons call them Damboils"
but such persons are addicted to profanity
the proper name is boil If chap
has a boil he generally gets good deal
OF sympathy, from others in horn"
Whoever asks him what ails him laugh
at him for his pains to answer, while
many unteeiing persons make game of
him, or OF his misfortune, or boil. 1t is
very wicked to make sport of persons
with boils; they connot help it, and often
feel very bad about it, Physicians don't
give boil patients much satisfaction as
general thing, although young physicians
who just beginning to practise are fond Of
trying their lancets on them. Boils are
SAID to be " healthy" and Judging from
the way they take hold and hang on, and
ache, and grow, and burn, and raise Cain
generally, there is no doubt they are
healthy and have good constitution
They are generally very lively and playful
at night, and it is very funny to see II chap
with good large one prospecting around
his couch for ii place where his boil will
tit in = without hurting it." Boils tend
to purify the blood" strengthen the
system, calm the nerves, restrain profanity,
tranquilize the spirit, improve the temper
and beautify the appearance.
They are good things for married men
who spend their evenings away from
home, as they give them an opportunity
to rest their night keys, and get acquain-
ted with their families.
1t IS also said that person is better
after he has them, and there is no doubt
that one feels much better after having
got rid Of them Many distinguished
persons have enjoyed these harbingers of
health. Job took his premium at the
county fair for having more achers under
cultivation than any other person, Shaks-
peare had them, and meant boils when
he said. One woe doth tread upon an
others heels, so fast they follow"
They are great many remedies for
boils, most of which are we'll worth trying,
because if they don't do any good they
don't hurt the boil. Every man he meets
will tell him of a good thing" for it,
among which are-shoemaker's wax,
Mrs, Winslow's syrup, trix, Spauldings
glue, Charlotte russo, gum drops water
proof backing, night blooming cerius
chloroform, kissengen, etc.

Curious Custom.

When an Arab woman intends marry
ing again after the death of her husband
she goes the night before the ceremony to
pay a visit to his grave There she
kneels and prays him not to be offended
NOT to be jealous. AS however, she
feels he will be offended and jealous, the
widow brings with her donkey laden
with two goat skins of water. The pray
er ended, she begins to pour the water on
the grave, to keep the first husband cool
under the circumstances about to take
place and having we'll saturated him she
departs.

Croton water to New York City is con-

nas- Monkeys are scarce il, Michigan

Eas~ Monkeys are scarce i'll Michigan.
A saddler in Detroit kept up one for pet,
who usually sat on the counter. A coun-
tryman came in one day who probaly had
never seen amonkey, the proprietor being
in the back room. The customer seeing
a saddle that suited him, asked the price
The monkey said nothing. Customer
said; I'll give you twenty dollars for
it," which being laid on the counter the
monkey showed into the drawer. The
man then took the saddle, but monkey
mounted the man, tore his hair, scratched
his face, and the frightened customer
screamed for dearlife Proprietor rushes
in, and wants to know what's the fuss
" Fuss !" said the customer, " fuss? 1
bought saddle from your son sittin'
there, and when l went to take it he
wouldn't let me have it," The saddler
apologized for the monkey, but assured
him he was no relation of his.
