Needles.

The first suggestion of needles is given
in the Bible, where it is recorded that
Adam and Eve sewed ig-leaves together.
Yes; but there was scarcely any "sewing"
at that time, according to the present
general acceptation of the term. 1t was
"sewing" without needles. The tibers OF
plants (hax is such fiber) would supply
the thread, land thorn-spike, or any other
small and sharp point, would make holes
in the materials, through which the fiber
could pass. The first needles used by the
Egyptians were eyeless, and made OF
bronze. Now and then, regular needle,
though coarse, was made. Its length
was from three to four inches. It isl gen
orally believed that needles we're first in
troduced into England in Henry the
Wits reign. Some years later, in the
reign of Queen Mary (wife of Philip H.,
King of SPAIN, they were comparatively
plenty. They were imported from Spain,
which then had almost monopoly OF the
manufacture. These Spanish needles
were made of steel. 1t has been stated,
but not OF good authority, that the man
ufacture of needles was recovered and re.
sumcd in the reign of good Queen Bess,
and that the operator, German, worked
with great secresy, in order to keep the
trade and profits all to himself. About
the year 1860, during the civil war, and
just after the decapitation of Charles l.,
the art of needle making was revived,
by one Christopher Greening, at Long
Crendon, o village in Buckinghamshire'
The needles there and then made were
very coarse, compared with those of the
present time. Finally, Redditch, small
town in Worcestershire, twelve miles
from Birmingham, became the center OF
the needle trade

Hans Christian Andersen.

The following is from the advance
sheets of the new book of European trav-
el"Abroad Again" by Curtis Guild, au-
thor of "Over the Ocean" and editor of
the Boston Commercial Bulletin:
"While our horses were resting at Sam
aden, in the upper Eugadine, we enjoyed
the unexpected pleasure of an interview
with the Danish author, Hans Christian
Andersen. The gOod-natured fairy story
teller, who was then sojourning ut the
hotel, on hearing that two Americans
that had read his books would like to
see him, came to US with extended hands
of welcome, though just returned from a
fatiguing excursion to the Morteratsch
glacier. He had but recently returned
from Italy, where he had been for his
health; and had been staying here for a
weeks rest, ere returning to Copenhagen.
He was tall, thin, even attenuated in fig
ure his head small, but forehead high,
which was the only point of beauty in
his face; his nose being large and prom
inent, cheek k-bones very distinct, and his
gray eyes small. But they sparkled with
pleasant smile, which wreathed his lips,
and his simple manner, pleased as child
to he praised, and his gentle tones, made
it easy to see why he was personally so
prime favorte with young people. He
was pale and appeared exceedingly fee
bic in health.
"He was delighted as child when told
that his stories were read and admired by
the children in America, and inquired if
we had any storks there, and wondered
how the children could understand some
of his stories if they were not familiar
with storks, as the boys and girls of Den
mark; but that he had written some
stories expressly for the children of Amer
lea.
wAh! said he,with sigh 'were | not so
nearly done with life, | should like to see
America
81 assured him he would meet cor
dial welcome, especially from the little
people.
"'Give my love to them all, said he and
tell them l enjoy telling them fairy
stories. And stay here is little me-
mento of our interview, which you may
show the children, in AnderSen's own
handwriting And he wrote in Danish a
sentence, beneath which he also wrote its
English translation:
"Life is the most beautiful fairy tale.
"'HANs CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN
He then bade US goodbye.
Poor Andersen. But | will not say
poor, either, for he was rich in the affec-
ton of all classes in his native land, as
we'll as elsewhere, where his writings have
been read. His death took place at Co
penhagen soon after l saw him, and at
his funeral the affection of all classes was
shown by the immense gathering. The
royal family were there, and the poor
were present, and deputations from all
parts of Denmark and other countries {;
and, as one writer expresses 1t, many per-
sons were as much taken by surprise as they
would have been if it had been reported
that Esop had died"

ILLUMINATED LETTERs.-Several GEN.
turies ago manuscripts used to be
written and books printed with what
were called illuminated capitals The
first letter of word at the beginning
of a chapter and Of paragraph was Orna-
mented with many flourishes, and painted
with different colors, thus giving very
bright appearance to the pages. Thomas
Cbatterton, the youthful genius and poet,
learned to read from one of these illumi-
mated manuscripts. He was very dull
boy at school, and had not learned to read
when six years and half old.
Then he happened to fall in with one
of these old manuscripts, and the odd let
ters excited his curiosity He studied
with a new spirit, and in few DAYS
could read with care and pleasure. He
searched out all the old manuscripts
within reach, and the antiquated symbols,
working on his imagination, prepared
him for the singular literary life he after
wards led. He began to initiate both the
style of writing and of thought, and was
soon master of both, and it required a
sharp critic todetect that his forgeries were
not the original manuscripts which he
claimed to have discovered.

MOnastic Life.

Igreatly desired to visit the famous
Convent of La Trappe, near Antwerp,
and, thanks to the courtesy of the monks,
passed a pleasant day within its walls.
Life there must be an intensely solemn
thing; fortunately for the monks, how
ever, it is varied by labor, the many
workshops of the convent embracing every
trade. | remained to dinner, and had an
opportunity of seeing the members of
this little community. Very quietly the
dinner passed. They ate neither meat
nor fish. | had, as did all, large bottle
of beer, made on the place, as they brew
their own beer. With the beer in ques-
tion we had vegetables. The meal COM
menced with soup of milk and bread,
substantial and not exciting to the mem
bers of the institution. l made sub
stantial dinner out of the eggs and fresh
bread, ETC., and went out with two young
priests into the garden for siesta. Il
was hot day, and, lying down on the
grass in the shade, running conversation
was kept up about old walled towns and
old converts, and the rest. After
ward, an old monk conducted me through
the convent. Passing through the dining
room or hall, my attention was called at
once to the two long rows of black and
brown napkins arranged upon the two
long tables at each side. They seemed
like the monks themselves in miniature.
Ascending a rickety flight of stairs, en-
tered their large sleeping apartment;
each one has his "little crib" where he
sleeps, or thinks he does. The bed is a
hard piece of mattrass, with slight COW
ering, and curtain drawn around it, and
the name of the happy occupant placed
above in black letters on wood. My last
visit was to the workshops. l will not
describe all the different "metiers," but
there were all trades represented, and
capuchins working at them. All were
grave and silent. Indeed, solemn "Sun-
day" atmosphere brooded over the entire
place, and l was glad to leave it behind
me.

Fight with o Heron.

A heron is dangerous bird, even for
man to attack, as will lie seen from this
story Of an encounter between man, a
dog, and heron, published in the London
FteEd. The heron had been wounded its
left wing being broken by a shot.
spied him in large pool, some yards
from the river bank; seemingly, as he
rested ON the water he was unhurt. AS
| shouted out, "There he is, Sam" the
retriever plunged into the eddying pOol
and swan to seize his prey. Now the
fight began.
Without swerving an inch, the heron,
with his crest erect, and with scream,
iarted his formidable beak straight at the
dogs ewes. Sam was puzzled. Inamo-
ment, however, he was at him again, but
the terrible beak of the heron, as the at
tack was again renewed, held him fairly
at bay. Sam now changed his plan. He
tried to circumvent his formidable enemy
by swimming round to its back, but the
heron presented bold front at all points,
and once more Sam rushed 10. The fight
was getting fast and furious, but Sam,
though considerably punished, stuck to
his post, and though repeatedly recalled,
would not return without his bird.
There was nothing left to do but to kill
the heron, to prevent his binding the
dog, if he had not already done SO. Ac-
cordingly, 1 raised my gun, when my
companion shouted out, "Don't shoot!
Don't spoil the bird I'll save the dog"
In an instant he leaped from the bank
into the pool, and, swimming, made for
the heron. The bird now left the dog,
and turned on his new assailant; rushing
at him with scream, in an instant, the
heron darted his formidable beak at Mr..
Gwynne-Vaughan's eyes; but as he swan,
he managed to cover his face, and his
hand only was wounded.
Again and again the heron attacked
him, but never succeeded in wounding
his face. At last, he grabbed the heron
by the legs, drew it under the water, and
struck out for the shore. Grasping the
bird by the beak, he was soon on land,
none the worse for his courageous exploit
than wounded hand and wet skin.
Sam, the retriever, was bleeding from
at least five honorable wounds, all within
a quarter of an inch of either eye. 1t
was courageous fight all round.

TRAVELLING on railroads will soon be
as pleasant as steamboating. In addition
to their sleeping cars, the Pullman Palace
Car Company have recently placed upon
several Of our leading railways their hotel
cars. In these cars one can take his
meals as pleasantly as at a hotel. The
springs of these cars are so finely adj
iusted as to entirely obviate all danger
from the overflow of liquids from the
dishes, even when the train is running at
forty miles an hour.
