Of a child, but, when the little one ran
away, shrisklng aud very much frieh-
tened. pnrstied tho terrified fugitive
until it was In a complete state Of
frenzy. The child sickened, never ra'-
lied, lanRushedf for q month, and died
"a suggestive warning for thoughtless
practical jokers. No doubt the death
Of the child was u sufficient punish
nent but such practical joking should
be taken In hand by the strong arm Of
the law, and the practiser of the jokes
be ruthlessly punished.

IT Is estimated that 500, 900 sewing
machines are annually sold In this
country the yearly sales amounting to
between twenty and thirty million
dollars. Ofactual mechanics, directly
employed In making sewing machines,
Irrespective Of those whose livelihood
Is gained In producing the materials
which enter into their structure, there
arc at least ten thousand whose wages,
at low estimate, amount to $25.OOO
per day, or seven and one half
millions yearly. And these are but a
portion Of the men employed. The
competition between different makers
has caused advertising to become n
most important item, from $4,000 to
500, 900 being spent annually In this
manner BY each Of the leading makers.
