Too much study is quite as bad. If not
worse than, too little. The sad result OF an
overtaxed mind was shown at the public
school yesterday morning. Miss Laura
Berry, while at examination with her
class, tainted and fell heavily TO the floor.
Within three weeks she had committed
to memory quite 200 pages Of history
and 200. hundred pages OF natural pbilos-
ophy. Night before last she sat up with
young lady classmate, and they studied
together till 8 O clock in the morning.
Arrived at the school house her nerves
were shattered and were weii-nigh be-

TIE PROMISED REDucTIoY.-The rail-
way orgeas-ths Sacramento Record,
the San Francisco Alta and Chronicle
are making a great blow about the reduc-
ton Of fares that the Central and Pacific
Railroads promise to make. The public
need not thank these companies for the
proposed favor, or think it is caused by
any returning sense of the duty the
managers or these corporations feel that
they owe the public in return for the
favors extended them. The true cause
of the reduction is to be found in the op.
position Of the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company, and the competition induced
by the reduced rates adopted by the lat
ter. As to Nevada, the railroad has from
the first Disseminated against her, and
in spite of the great travel and immense
freightaee paid for by her citizens, they
have at this day to pay far more in pro-
portion than the other States and Terri
tories on the Pacific coast. The mer'
chants of Virginia City have their east
ern goods sent past their doors to Sacra
mento, and then brought back to avoid
the onerous discrimination the railroad
makes against this State.

.narks being emitted during the operation,

sparks being emitted during the operation,
caused by the friction of the grindstone
and wire. and which resemble shower
of golden fire. Some idea of the rapidity
with which this is effected may be formed
when it is stated that one man is ex-
pected to point twenty-five packets OF
80, 600 each in week. The next process
is that of Frightening the middle portion
of the wire previously to stamping, that
is, roughly shaping the head and eye
without actually perforating the wire
" Eying'" as it is called, is the next
stage, and is done by girls with extraor-
binary rapidity and accuracy; a
smart hand can punch as many as 10000
in working day of ten hours. They are
now splitted, which consists in two thin
wires being thrust through the eye; this
operation is always allotted to boys. The
reader must now suppose the needles In
/" sheets" which have next to be filed,
that is, the fiange formed by punching the
eye is filed off the sheets are broken In
two, now first forming the distinct needle.
The heads are now again filed and the
needles then rubbed and hardened; next
washed and eyened," that is, they are
sorted into particular lengths, and are
now ready for " tempering," perhaps the
most delicate operation of all, and which
is always superintendent by one of the
firm. Picking, Strengthening and scour-
ing follow, which latter operation, by the
way, comprises about fourteen different
processes and extends over fortnight.

Straw Board.

The manufacture of straw board is a
growing industry. Notwithstanding is
comparatively modern its increase has
been so great that it has nearly trebled
the price of straw during period of
twenty years Although based upon the
same general principles as paper-making
it differs from the methods employed for
fine papers in several important particu-
lars, some of the processes being omitted
and others not required in the latter be-
ing necessary.
The first process consists in boiling the
straw with quick lime. This is done in a
wooden digester which takes steam from
boiler The straw is packed in layers
with lime between them, and the whole
boiled for from ten to twelve hours, ac-
cording to circumstances. Straw is com
posed of tube of woody fiber and eel
lular tissue, having upon its outer surface
cuticle composed of silicates of potas-
sa and soda, with some free silica. The
woody fiber also contains some silica. To
the silicious cuticle the straw owes, in
great part, its strength. The same cuticle
also covers the leaves of the different
grains and grasses, and gives them the
sharp-cutting edge often observed in the
coarser varieties.
The boiling process is therefore chem
ical i'm its effect. The reaction which
takes place is the combination of the
lime and the silica, which leaves the
straw in soft and pulpy state. The
mass is now ground by machine similar
in principle to that used for grinding the
ordinary paper pulp-namely, arevolving
cylinder upon which knives are fixed,
which play between series of fixed
I, ~, hal LOFT OF 20 10 M
chopped by these knives, but is gradu-
ally disintegrated until it is reduced to a
uniform pulp.
The entire mass is now drawn into a
vat, which contains water, and is kept
constantly agitated by a series of revolv-
| ing arms. A wire gauZe cylinder is so
adjusted that it will revolve partially be-
meath the surface of the fluid mass The
pulp adheres to the gauzc and is
carried around to another cylinder,
around which an endless belt of felt
runs. The latter cylinder presses upon
| the gauze and by this means the pulp is
made to adhere to the felt and condensed
so as to give it enough consistency to be
taken up by another cylinder called a
| forming cylinder. The cylinder is one
of pair made of polished metal, and
| by them the pulp is strongly compre ssed.
The pulp is wound around the form er
until the proper thickness is reached;
this is determined by an indicator.
Along the forming cylinder there is a
groove planed out through which the OPP
orator now passes wooden knife, thus
severing the soft board; and at the same
time he unwinds the sheet and removes
| it. These sheets are cut SO as to form
other sizes and then dried, which COM
pletes the process. Wooden rags are
sometimes ground and mixed with the
straw pulp. This makes much darker
colored and heavier board, which is
worth considerably more than the pure
| straw board
The boards as thus manufactured are
applicable to great variety of useful
purposes among which binding,
button making and paper-box manufac-
ture are most prominent. - Furniture

Needles.

So little is popularity known regarding
the history and many elaborate processes
necessary to transform piece of simple
wire into the beautiful and highly finished
little implement SO Indispensable to the
personal comfort of civilized beings, that
no apology is needed to our reader If In
this short article a few interesting items
of information respecting the needle are
culled from the Iron Trade Circular, Lon
don. In the first place there is the wire
in huge coils, which are cut by immense
shears. The wire is again cut into the
different sizes required, each length being
SO divided as to make two needles
Several thousands of these lengths are
then placed within two rings, about six
inches in diameter, made of rough
wrought iron, and are then Strengthened
by being rubbed with hot iron. The
wire Is next pointed at either end, q
! beautiful process to witness, innumerable
