The Woman's Missionary Society.

CHlCAdO MAY Isle
The annual meeting OF the oman's Missionary
Society OF the Reunited Presbyterian Church was
held last night in the First Presbyterian church. The
house was crowded in every part. Rev. DR.. Filing
wood made statement OF facts connected with the
missions. There are three central organizations
one in New York, one in Philadelphia and one in
Chicago. 1t was the desire OF the Foreign Missionary
Board that the separate organizations be not multi
Piled but that the work be done through three or
four centres. The Philadelphia Society has realized
$3.50 during the year. II had forty auxiliary soce
TIES twenty-five missionary boards and thirteen mis-
slonares The Chicago society had fifty auxiliary
societies and seven missionaries and had realized
$4,000.
The Rev. Mr.. Hall, OF New York, dwelt upon the
luxurious tendencies OF the age, and on the danger
that this spirit OF display and luxury, incident TO
rapid progress and accumulation OF wealth. would
run into rotteness before ripeness, and plunge the
nation lnto unforeseen ruin. He advised all to take
stand and make protest against this perncious
tendency
Rev. j. II. Shedd, OF the HISTORIAN Mission de-
scribed the extent OF his missionary field. 1t repre-
scented ninety congregations. and extended over an
three times rs large Illinois, embracing q We
million souls. lie urged that one female and one
male missionary he sent TO his field.

The Magic Needle.

I first, the magic needle was used
"a with amusing clumsiness, as we learn
from manuscript dated 1908, in the Roy
al Library in Paris. An ugly, black stone,
called mariniere, we are told, which sailors
valued highly was taken out when nights
were dark, and needle rubbed with it
lightly; the latter was then cunnngly
placed upon straw, and set ahoat in
basin, when the point would indicate the
north.
Another popularity Of the magic needle
was Il cause of much anxiety and peril to
the discover of our continent.
When the great navigator had ventured
about two hundred leagues into the Allan
tic Ocean, on the 14th of September, 1492,
he noticed, for the first time, that the nee
die, at evening dusk, no longer pointed due
north, but deviated several degrees in
northwesterly direction, the next morning
the deviation had increased. Full of ankle
ty and wonder, he watched it carefully
and, to his consternation the farther west
he sailed, the more the needle appeared to
deviate. AT first he kept his discovery to
himself, fearful lest he should alarm his
crew and defeat his purpose; but soon the
man at the helm noticed the change, and were
filled with grievous apprehensions. They
fancied that they had penetrated into
new world, ruled by other laws than those
to which they had been accustomed. If
the magic needle lost its power, what was
to become of them on the boundless ocean?
Never, perhaps, was Columbus greater
than when, sternly suppressing his own
fears, he told them that the magnetic nee
die pointed, not toward the north pole OH
earth, but toward an invisible part of the
heavens, which changed its place, together
with all the heavenly bodies. They believ-
ed the man whose vast knowledge and mar
velOus energy they had learned TO appreci-
ate their minds were calmed, the voyage
continued, and New World discovered.
Henceforth the magic needle achieved tri-
umph after triumph. With such aid, Diaz,
Cabral and Cana could cross vast oceans,
and Magellan and Sebastian Cabot sail
around the whole earth-thus ending for
ever the objections made by superstition
and bigotry, and teaching man the true
form and nature of the globe which he in
habits. While, heretofore, the majority
of vessels, in the Mediterranean even, had
been wrecked, or at least had reached their
desired haven only with small part Of
their cargo, now insurance companies were
formed in all the large seaport towns, and
the premium, even for India voyages, be-
came soon so small as to make insurance

AXES.

ME AK is one of the first edge-tools
Il known to have been used. 1t is found
among the remains and named in the early
tales, of nearly all nations. The Aztec
peoples Of Central and South America, not
knowing how to extract iron from its ores,
made axes of copper and other metals,
which they hardened almost to the consist
ency Of IRON Under the wicked rule of
their Spanish conquerors, the knowledge of
this hardening process was lost. It's re-dis-
mankind. The Spaniards still make axes
by hammering out bar Of iron and turn
ing 1t so as to form loop around the
handle. In ancient times the use of steel,
and its combination with iron, were almost
unknown. The cutting edge of most axes
is now made of steel. A3i nfl
American axes are made by heating to
redness hammered bar-iron, cutting this to
the proper length and punching the eye for
handle, re-heating and pressing between
concaye dies Being again heated and
grooved on the thin end, It receives into
this groove the piece of steel that forms
the edge. Borax is used as flux, and at
white heat the tool is welded and drawn to
its proper shape by trip-hammers. 1t is
then hammered out by hand, ground and
shaved. 1t is next ground on stones of fine
grain. The temperer hangs 1t on revolv-
ing wheel in q furnace, over q coal fire.

THE AUTUMN FOL LACE.
BY W. II. wATERToS.

Though September's suns shine brightly,
And September's skies are blue,
Though Autumn breezes lightly
Stir the leaves of varied hue,
Still not unpleasant sadness
Stealeth softly DER our hearts,
While we mourn the vanished gladness
OF the Summer which departs.
Though the Autumn foliage glory
In its green and gold array,
Yet its splendor tells story
Of incipient decay.
Let us listen to its teaching,
For analogies profound,
And throughout all nature reaching,
Are within us, and around.
Yes, the Autumn foliage gaining
Tints of beauty as it dies,
Like the setting sun, which waning,
Spreads new glory o'er the skies,
Tells the Christian that as nearer
To the grave his footsteps tend,
All his graces should shine clearer,
And beam brightest at his end.

and then her partners arm was round
her waist, her head was ON his shoulder,
and she was plunging at the signal
into the German, whirling TO deli
cious measures, presently clasped in
new embrace, flying from that
mans arms to anothers, growing wild
with the abandon of the figure,
her hair flying, her dress disordered, her
powder caked, her face red, till pausing
one instant for the champagne in ser
wants hands, your girl with face as
pure as pearl, seemed nothing but de-
iirious Bacchante. If you pursued OBJ
servation further, you found that she
went home at daybreak; that still throb-
bing with excitement she could find no
sleep, but that knowing if she did not
sleep she would be unfit for the next
route she dosed herself with a soothing
drug and was soon lost in dreams as
wild as the night had been-a tremen-
dous drug, as yet unknown in all its
powers to its discoverers-which burns
and paralyzes her eyelids, and blinds
her eyes and makes her brain for many
day as useless as her hands, resting
her nerves and weakening them, and
leaving them already, with the next
strain, for foaming and torturing hys-
terics and idiotic epilepsy, and you ac-
knowledged that Lent came none too
early, unless she and all her kin wished
death to take them where they never
see the sun.
