A WISE WoNAN-N hen ! was a girl my
mother taught me every variety Of domestic
work, leading me on from simple to difficult
processes in this manner " My daughter, -
she would say, now if you make this shirt
very nicely, you shall make next a shirt for your
father, and be shall know that every stitch was
set by your fingers" How esger | was 10 learn
the mysteries Of shirtmsking, and how patiently
my mother taught me 10 set the stitches in the
bosom, to baste in the gussets, to stroke the
gathers How many button-holes | worked on
odd scraps Of muslin before she could quite trust
me TO make the b0soms and wristbands. But
that shirt was my apprenticeship to the needle,
and since then dressmsking, millinery, tailoring,
even, has had no terrors in my Imagination, for
if could make a shirt we'll | could learn to
make everything. In the same waJ she stimula
ted my industry and ambition in culinary mat
ters. s. When you have learned to wash snd
wipe the dishes very nicely she would say.
81 will let you make some biscuit" Then
was permitted to rise a step higher, to the dig
nifty of bread making, the concoction OF cakes
and pies. really thought in those days that
loved to do house-work, to cook and sweep and
iron, but sincethen have found out that twas
my mothers admirable management that made
pastime Of drudgery.
EueTy Saturday, which gives its readers a
fresh sensation nearly every week by some new
literary or artistic effort, varies the surprise this
week, with one in the mechanical line 1t pre-
sents itself not only elegantly folded, but with
its pages cut snd trimmed and firmly pasted to
gether. all the operation Of a new machine, the
invention of Chambers & Co, of Philadelphis.
and first illustrated before the public by the
publishers of Erery Saturday. 1t is very
cute contrivance, and very valuable i'm

BASE BALL-Now that base ball has become
a regular business, as much 20 as faro, and con
Quoted on much the same principles, the supply
of implements for it has become a regular bust
ness also, the magnitude of which may be
judged by the following statement in the New
York Times No less than sixteen kinds Of
balls SIe in use, from the regulation ball to the
ehiliren's or fancy ball, and prices vary from
SIS to s. cents dozen Some half dozen reg
uiar manufactures Of base balls alone, exist in
this city, the largest producing Just now seventy
FIVE dozen bslis per diem. The town Of Nstick,
however, in Massachusetts,, is the greatest ball
manufactory perhaps in the world, many hun
dreis of people being employed in producing
these articles, and it is not uncommon for houses
in this line of business to order thence 5000
balls at time Their manufacture entails
nothing Of very special interest, the inside being
Of wound rubber, and the wrapping Of Wooen
yarn, save that the winding Of the yarn around
the ball is principally done by men. One would
suppose that from the nicely shaped spheres
women make Whel winding up WOrstei, they
would be most adapted % this kind O.. work,
but II seems tl require a certain amount Of phys
ical strength which the weaker sex is not en-
d0Wet with. The cover Of horse hide is put on
entirely by women, who use a saiiier's neeile
