How ThimlleA are Ma de,

The manufacture of thimbles is very
simple, but singularly interesting. Coin
silver is mostly used, and is obtained by
purchasing coin dollars. Hence it happens
that the profits of the business are affected
instantaneously by all the variations in the
nations greenback promises to pay. The
first operation strikes a novice as almost
wicked, for it is nothing else than putting
a lot OF bright silver dollars, fresh from
the mint, into nasty crucibles, and melting
them up into solid ingots. These are rolled
out to the required thickness. and cut BY q
stamp into circular pieces of any required
size. A solid metal bar of the size of the
inside of the intended thimble, moved by
powerful machinery up and down in a
mould Of the size Of the outside of the same
thimble, bends the circular disks into
can be placed under the descending
bar. Once in shape. the work
of Frightening polishing and decorating is
done upon lathe. First the blank form is
fitted with a rapidly revolving rod. A
single touch of a sharp chisel takes a thin
shaving from the end, another does the
same on a side, and third rounds Off the
rim. A round steel rod, dipped in oil and
pressed upon the surface, gives it lustrous
polish. Then little revolving steel wheel,
whose edge is a raised ornament, held
against the revolving blank, prints that
ornament just outside the rim. A second
wheel prints different ornamen-, around
the center. while third wheel, with sharp
points makes the indentations on the lower
half and end of the thimble. The inside is
frightened and polished in similar way,
the thimble being held in a revolving
mould. All that remains to be done is to
boil the completed thimbles in soap-suds,
to remove the oil. brush them up and pack
them for the trade.-Sprinafeld, Massa-
cHusetts ReDuJlcnn

Concealed Weapons.

There is no knowing what may turn
APP" especially III horse hair sofa. In a
small attic, says a Vienna journal, lived
the family of tailor who had died some
weeks since in the greatest poverty and
misery. The widow could not earn enough
to support herself and her children, and
was obliged to sell her furniture bit by bit
to supply their needs. In her garrett stood
an old sofa, which had been given to her at
her marriage by relation long since dead.
At length even this valued heirloom had to
90 to the brokers. Two porters accordingly
attempted to remove the sofa, but were
unable to do so. The broker, who natural
ly feared that his bargain was stuffed with
stone instead of horse hair, insisted on i'm.
mediate investigation. To the surprise of
all persons, the removal of thick coating
of the latter material brought TO light
about forty muskets, of the existence Of
which the owner of the sofa had no idea.
Each musket was wrapped in poster con-
tanning an invitation to join in the students
legion. and bearing date October IA, 1918. y
An animated controversy is now in prog
ress between the broker and the tailors
widow regarding the ownership of the prop
erty thus unexpectedly discovered.

Women Of Burden.

at is remarkable" SAYS a writer on Ger
man life in the Boston Globe, what great
burdens German women carry on their
heads. One may meet them constantly
with great tubs and kettles of water on
their heads. Many of them carry loads of
vegetables to market in great white wooden
tubs, wearing little round plated mat
next the head. One sees the strangest
loads, too, poised in mid air Vegetables of
all kinds and cheese are carried by them.
Suddenly woman comes along with an
immense pile of faggots tied in bundles,
some for burning and some, which are
saplinge, for brooms and baskets Another
one comes bearing great baskets of turn for
kindiing tires; and often do we see on these
women's heads loads of kindling wood.
The German peasant woman occupies a
position little better than a slave, per.
forming the most mental services for a
mere plttance. Any night around the
fountains and water tanks may be seen
crowds OF these young women with great
tubs and half barrels, almost, in size, wait
ing IN turn to carry water for their use the
next morning. These persons should have a
word spoken in their behalf, for they have
a weary life, and their position is pitiable
one. They are expected to black boots, car
~ burdens, do any and all kinds of druid gerry.
and are paid mere nothing for their work
depending great deal ON Trinkgeld col
lected for doing odd jobs and errands of all
kinds. In many German houses they arc
given monthly little extra sum. They are
expected to do anything and everything that
in our country the men servants do. Coming
from the opera host of these girls may be
seen with shawls and wrappings for their
mistresses to wear going home. Women
occupy certainly in common position far
below the American woman in relative pc.
sition in society. In the streets they are
constantly seen pulling wagons fit for one
horse to draw. The woman is only a servant,
as it were, not the hostess, as we understand
the term, in her own home"

Practicing Dentistry.

The Walla Walla Union knows young
man in the county who writes Or before
his name, and IN. D." after it, who. after
having. to his own satisfaction, mastered
the science OF medicine and surgery. has
concluded to turn his attention to prac teal
dentistry. In order to enable him to. pull
teeth without pain, he procured the head of
sheep that had been lately slaughtered,
and repaired to the brush along the bank of
creek. When thus secluded, as he sup
posed from ''prying eyes," he produced his
with his hand, probably to inspire the pa
tent with confidence, then opened it's mouth,
laid firmly hold of a molar with his tooth
hooks" and gave surge that brought out
the tooth. He then stepped back, wiped his
forceps on the seat of his pants, and said in
yonl" A man who was fishing in the creek,
not twenty feet away, didn't hear what the
sheep said

Postal Cards.

II will interest both stationers and paper
akers to know what effect the introduc-
IN of postal cards has had on the con.
mDtion of paper. Up TO date there have
en- about 70,000, 900 of these cards made,
,st of which have gone into consumption.
large number have been used in cases
lere, but for their existence, no communi-
ton at all would have been made, and so
ey can not be said to have wholly been
Id as a substitute for writing paper
here their competition has been most felt
/ been in their extensive use for circu-
is. for which they are specially fitted.
Ire, however, they have replaced
X and newspaper as well as fine
ting. 1t is safe to estimate
DO, GOO postal cards as equivalent
the same number of half sheets
note paper of medium weight, or say
Lee tons and one-eighth. This would
he the total product to date as equal to
mt 200 tons in round numbers, allowing
those which have not replaced any other
ting materials. This would barely equal
product of the fine mills at Holyoke for
DAYS. and it is certainly not enough to
So any alarm. For ourselves, we doubt
through the competition of postal cards,
1 consumption OF fine paper has been
lined 100 tons. while we believe it has
irectly simulated the consumption OF
latter. In this connection we may state
the consumption Of envelopes has not
b affected by the introduction OF postal
cs, but that the four or five leading
nufacturers are behind their ORDERS

ATTEMPTED suicide.

At twelve o'clock yesterday, a German
named Huff attempted to commit suicide
in the New Orleans Shoe Store, by shoot
ing himself in the left temple with small
Smith & Wesson revolver. Drs. johnson
and Shearer at once attended him, but
failed to find the ball. They believe that
il struck the bone and glanced off, They
appointment in love is supposed to be the
motive for the rash attempt.
At a late hour last night we learned that
Mr. Huff was much worse than was at first
anticipated He is a brother of Mr. Huff
of New Orleans. 1t is said that he recently
received letter from his tiancee notifying
him of his rejection.-Ga lceston Mercury.

society. 1t will not do any one any good,
and it will do you harm-if you mind being
called disagreeable. If you don't like any
ones nose, or object to any ones chin, don t
put your feelings into words. If any ones
manner don't please you, remember your
own. People are not all made to suit one
taste, recollect that. Take things as you
find them, unless you can alter them. Even
a dinner after it is swallowed can not be
made any better. Continual fault finding,
continual criticism of the conduct of this
one and the speech of that one, the dress of
the other and the opinions of t'Other. will
make home the unhappiest place under the
sun.-Exchange.
