The outward movement OF the latter 80 early IN the

by country banks who find it unsatisfactory to en-

reason to be found in the sale by Out-oftown in

and tried to steel his heart more sorely
against her, but in vain, he was in Bes-
sizes home-breathing the air she
breathed, seeing the scenes with which
she was familiar Her birds were sing
ing in the cage over his head, her flow
ers were blooming in the window. Every
thing spoke to him of her, He felt that
moment that he loved her only, and he
was thinking of her when his thoughts
should have been given to his bride, un-
til some one came for him. The few
guests who had been invited, and minis
ter, were waiting in the parlor, and the
bride was in readiness .J la .JaIoa
Mechanically Julius followed his con-
ductor to the room where for the irst
time he was to behold his bride. The
door was thrown open. His mother was
in the room looking mysteriously mirth-
full. Two or three of the neighbor's 5
girls, who, from their dress, were to act
as bridesmaids, were there, and Bessie, al
so dressed in white, with few pale roses
in her hair.
But where was the bride?
Julius stood in awkward silence look
ing about the room
you wonder where she is /; Dora
Mead l mean," said his mother. g Come,
Bessie, don't stand there blushing; SO
come forward and let this dainty epicure
know how he has been outwitted"
Bessie looked almost ready to sink with
shame. Covering her face with her
hands she dropped into a seat.
Lawful sakes ~ said Mrs. Austin,
persuasively; "you needn't take on SO,
just because your name is Bessie Barton
instead of Dora Mead, and as for you,
Julius, know by your looks that you're
anything but sorry that there's no Dora
here to meet you; though" she whisper
ed, you'd better step up and ask her
over again"
And Julius was only too happy to do
as his mother suggested; and when he
led his bride, blushing " celestial rosy
red" before the aged minister, who can
tell how many degrees happier he felt
than an hour before he had expected
that the event of his marriage with Dora
Mead could make him. r..

SCIENTIFIC READING.
A Chapter on Needles.

HNHE earliest needles made were
Il square-eyed," a shape most read
lily produced. 1t was with square eyed
needles that Mary Queen of Scots wrought
those beautiful tapestries for the walls of
her prison CELL After many fruitless at
tempts, drilled-eyed needles were success.
fully brought out in 1926, and two years
later the furnishing machine, which gave
a beautiful finish to the eye, was intro
duced. In this later process, as now car
ried out, the needles are threaded on
steel wires which have been " "roughedY /.
with file and hardened. The ends of
these wires are then attached to a steam
machine by which the needles are made
to revolve at an enormous speed with an
oscillating motion around the wires.
Previous to the year 1910, needles
were hardened in water, during which
process the majority became crooked, and
strengthening the crooks was, in conse-
quence, an occupation for considerable
Dumber of workpeople. In the year
mentioned, however, Redditch manu-
facturer revived the practice of harden
ing in oil, and the result was that crooked
needles were the exception instead Of
being the rule. This so exasperated the
crook straightcnors that they mobbed the
enterprising manufacturer out of the
town, and for some time great tumult
prevailed. Eventually, however, the re-
vived process came to be generally adopt
ed. A pointing machine is the latest
invention of Importance in the needle
trade. On this invention, Messrs. Bart
lett & Woodward-two excellent author
ities-thus reported little while since:
The needle-pointing machine is an
English invention, though it is not gener-
ally supposed to be so; and its forerunner
which, though not perfect, approached so
nearly to perfection as to alarm the point
ers, was some years ago purchased by
them and broken to pieces on Redditch
Church Green. The needle-pointing
machine is only partly used in this dis
trict. A grooved grindstone, revolving
at great spead, is employed to grind the
end of each wire into the desired shape.
To this grindstone the wires are applied
from an inclined plane, on which
number are placed ready to cut to the
length required BY means of disc,
surrounded with caout-chouc, revolving
slowly in direction transverse to the
grindstone, continuous supply of wires
rapidly revolving in succession is sup
piled to the stone, and the same disc
causes the wires to revolve while being
pointed In Redditch and the neighbor-
hood matchmaking now employs some
thing like 500 workpeoplo, considerable
proportion of whom are females The
earnings considerably vary, those of chill
dren ranging from Is. Cd. to 5s., women,
IS. to lbs, and men, rs. to 40s, per
week.
A needle has to pass through seventy
pairs of hands before it is considered to
be finished and ready for use; a subdi-
vision Of labor to which may be attributed
the combination of excellence and cheap
ness in the production of these articles

Determined to be Married.

A youthful couple, the boy sixteen, and
the girl probably fourteen, from neigh
boring county in Kansas, presented them
selves before Jutsice Ransom, of Kansas
city, with the request that he should mar
ry them. The justice informed them
that he could not do SO without the con-
sent Of their parents or guardians. The
boy was somewhat backward, but this
was no falling to the other. She told
the justice that she knew what she was
about; she had come to get married, and
she intended to go through'with it. 'Sure
enough, can't you marry us ?" she finally
exclaimed" No, sis, l can't replied the
justice. With that she sailed out with
head erect, saying, - Come on, John, we
can find some one whois not so particu.
lar" And sure enough, in few hours
she returned, all smiles, triumphantly
shaking her finger at the justice, saying,
- told you SO; we're married, and now
we'll 20 home"

Discouraglng to Beer Drinkers.

Genuine beer is as hard to find as pure
ale or porter Not only are malt and hop
beers largely aduterated, but beers are
made without malt or hops. Sugar, hon.
ey, molasses and liquorice are used for
malt; alum, opium, gentian, quassia, aloes,
cocculus, indicus amara, tobacco, and
unux for hops; saltpeter, jalap, salt,
maranta, green copperas, marble dust,
oyster-shells, egg-shells, sulphate of lime,
har rtshorn ,shavings, nut-ealls, potash, So
da, &C., to prevent souring. The beauti-
full caulihower head often comes from
green vitriol, alum and salt. The smack
of age, and the tingle to the palate often
comes from vitriol. Take your ale, beer
and porter ifyou will, but remember its
strength or intoxicating qualities may be
due to the deadly cocculus indicus, fox
glove, henbane, multum, and nux-vomica,
and the narcotic power to opium, tobacco
and grains of paradise, smack your lips
at the tinglc of lime and pepper, and ex-
ult in the foam Of copperas aud lime. Is
there not death in the beer-mug ?-Dr.
Il. G.. Dalton.

CNrSO21'S stellar OIL
,tp.- FOR
ILLUMINATING PURPOSES.

The proprietor OF this Oil has for several years
felt the necessity OF providing for, and presenting
TO the public as a substitute for the dangerous
compounds which are sent broadcast over the
country, an oil that is SAFE and BRILLIANT,
ard entirely reliable. After long series OF labo-
rious and costly experiments, he has succeeded in
prSSytldilng and now 9Isrs t9 the Pnbe such

primary purpose in the preparations of STELLAR
OIL has been to make it PERFECTLY SAFE,
thus insuring the lives and property of those who

I'D, Because 1t Is the most BRILLIANT liquid H.
lumlnator now known.
3D. Because IL is more economical, in the long
run, than any of the dangerous oils and fluids
now in too common USE
4TH, Because 1t is intensely BRILLIANT, and
therefore economical giving the greatest posi-
Bile light at the least expenditure to the consum-
er. Its present standard of SAFETY AND
BRILLIANCY will always be maintained, for
upon this the proprietor depends for sustaining
the high reputation the STELLAR OIL now
enjoys.
To prevent the adulteratiOn of this with the ex-
plosye compounds now known under the name OF
kerosene, SC, Sc, II is put up for family use In
Five Gallon cans, each can being sealed, and

cannot be tampered with between the manufac-
TRADEMARK.
STELLAR OIL is sold only by weight each can
