ThimbIe Making.

In the first place, q lot of bright silver
dollars, fresh from the mint, are put into
crucibles and melted into solid ingots.
They are then rolled into the required
thickness and cut by d stamp into circu-
lar pieces of the required size. These
circular disks are placed under solid
metal bar of the size OF the inside of the
intended thimble, which, moved by pow
erful machinery, descends in bottom
less mold of the size of the outside of the
thimble, and presses the metal into the
desired shape at single blow.
The remaining operations of brighten
ing, polishing and decorating, are per-
formed by means Of lathe. First, the
blank form is fitted with a rapidly revol-
wing rod : slight touch of sharp
chisel takes thin shaving from the end;
another does the same on the side, while
third rounds off the rim. The polishing
is done by round steel rod, which is
dipped in oil and, pressed upon the sur
face. Small revolving steel wheels held
against the revolving blank pierce the
indentations on the lower half and end OF
the thimble; the ornamentation is done
by similar process.
All that remains to be done to the
thimbles is to brighten and polish the
insides, boilIthem in soapsuds, to reno v
the oil, brush them up, and pack them
for market.

Women Wearing Live Beetles.

At dinner party the other evening, u
wore pale Nile-green silk dress orna-
mcnted with yarGs on yards of costly
lace; she was very much decOllete and
had on necklace of brilliants; she was
pretty, engaging, with the assured ease
of the best society. Over the silken
shoulder, the white NECK and the laces
of the young lady Travelled, with labori-
Gus leisure, bugi The bug was Mex
lean beetle with FURNISHED armor of the
most gem-like hues; but it was, never
theless, live bug, crawling, after the
slow, painful fashion of its species. up
and down, crossing the expanse of white
satin skin, nesting in the frills and los
ing itself in a wilderness of rosebuds set
low in the corsage. The poor creature
could not escape, and reached no goal in
spite of its long journey, since it was
held in leash by fine silken cord.
Naturally, the insect attracted attention;
the conversation turned on beetles.
The young lady spoke of hers in terms
of affection, and called tia "sweet, darl-
ing pet" Another fair one remarked
that she too had beetle at home, for
which she was having golden harness
made. and that she hoped to wear it the
next evening.
Les caprices des grandes DANES have
always been the wonder of less super
fine people; accordingly the gentleman
sitting next TO the young lady with the
bug gazed at her with sort of startled
curiosity which gradually emerged into
repulsion. His first feeling was dislike
of the insect.
Ha! WHARF, ye gaun, ye crowlin' fertile!
Your imprudence protects you sairly;
Gamma say but ye strunt rarely
Owre gauze and lace.
Yeugly, creepin', blastit wonner,
Detested, shunn'd by saunt an sinner,
How dare ye set your fit upon her,
Sac fine lady?
These lines occurred to him, but the
innocent beetle finally gained his SYM
pathies, and he began to feel abhorrence
of the young lady herself. He made
some remark upon the incident to
another lady present, and she laughed at
his Mortified comment.
"Why, it's all the fashion," she re-
turned.
Heaven save u.s." said the gentleman,
"from fashionable woman"
And why SOP"
Fashionable women are too vulgar.
l don't want one of them for my sister;
I should he ashamed of one for my
mother; above all, l would not have one
for my wife. ."-Ltppincott'S Magazine.

A Short Romance.

The Atirora Qnd) NeOS tells the fol
lowing story about John Burns, OF
Rising Sun, and his two sisters: t.
John and his two sisters, Maggie and
Annie, were born in Charleston, w.
Va. In 1865, when they were all quite
young. they were left orphans and taken
to the orphan asylum at Cincinnati,
John stayed in the asylum one year and
was then taken to Pomeroy, Ohio, and
shortly afterward his oldest sister, Mag
gle, visited him. They then parted for
what they thought a brief season, but
which really proved to be period of
thirteen years. In December last John
went to Miamisburg, Ohio, when sudden
determination seized upon him to find
out the whereabouts of his sister, and
acting upon the advice of his friends to
try printers ink, sent a personal ITO one
of the Cincinnati papers, and he soon re-
ceived a reply which made his heart leap
for joy, and on opening it found it to be
from his long-lost sister, who was living
in Cincinnati. You may imagine he
was not long in hunting her up. This
good luck induced John to try and find
his other sister. A few weeks ago he
went from Rising Sun to Ironton on a
towboat, and on his return stopped in
Cincinnati, where he accidentally found
trace of this sister, and was soon in her
presence. The sisters had not seen each
other nor their brother for thirteen
years, and neither knew that the other
lived in Cincinnati. One of the sisters
had been to Alabama, where she re-
mained tor long time, and the other
had been all the way to Colorado and
back, and John-there is no telling
where he has not been. After this long
separation their first meeting is more
easily imagined than described. This is
his strange history. John does not pro-
pose to let them get out of his sight for
any great length of time.

Of beauty and balm it is prodigal,
And it lives in the life it freely loses;
No choice for the rose but glory or doom,

Who gives his fortunate place to another;
