THE WIDOWS CoNsoLATIoN.--Ano old
lady who does not live a great many
miles from Milwaukee is fashioned after
that rare type of people who are always
finding virtues in their fellow creatures
when nobody else can. The other day
enc died, hard, as the common report
went, uncharitable, unkind to his fam.
ily--but he was dead. Another posi-
tive and disagreeable quality which
this man had was that he was forever
prying into other peoples business.
Tho widow grieved, as a woman often
does, when about to hide away what re-
mains OF bright young bridal dreams.
Her charitable companion grew ner.
vous. Her kind spirit smote her for
neglecting to pour the comforting oil
upon the bruised feelings OF the once
happy wife. Finally, she said:
"There is this much ABOUT it, my
dear Mrs. -; your husband was .
very spry man"

The Pin Machine,

There are few pieces OF machinery
more wonderful or human in their op-
eratiens than the mashine that makes
the pins. A coil of wire is put in at
the end. and comes out at the other q
paper of polished pima. The operation
is thus described by q correspondent OF
the Boston Post:
"a small machine, about the size
and height of lady's sewing-machine,
only stronger, stands before you. On
the back side light belt descends from
the long shaft at the ceiling, that drives
all the machines ranged in rows on the
floor. On the left side of our machine
hangs on q peg small reel of wire that
has been Strengthened by running
through compound system of small
rollers. This wire descends, and the
end of it enters the machine. 1t pulls
1t in and bites of by inches, inces-
sanity, one hundred and forty times to
minute. Just as it seizes each bite, q
little hammer with q conclave face hits
the end of the wire three taps, aud up.
sets it to u head while it gripes it in
countersunk hole between the teeth.
With an outward thrust of its tongue
it then lays the pin sideways in a little
groove across tie rim of small wheel
that slowly revolves just under its
nose. by the external pressure of a
stationary hoop, these pins roll in
their places as they arc carried under
two series OF small files, three in each.
These files grow finer toward the end
of the series. They lie at slight in
clination on the points of the pins, and
by series of cams, levers and springs,
are made to play like lightning.
Thus the pins are pointed and dropped
into little shower into box.
Twenty-eight pounds of pins is q
days work for one of these jerking lit.
tie automatons. These are then pol
ished. Two very intelligent machines
reject every crooked pin, even the
slightest irregularity of form being de-
tected. Another automaton asserts
half doEsn lengths in as many diff
ferent boxes, at once and unerringly,
when a careless operator has mixed
the contents of boxes from various ma
chimes. Lastly, perfect genius of a
machine hangs the pins by the head,
in an Inclined platform, through as
many 'slots as there are pins in row
on the papers. These slots converge
into tho exact space, spanning the
length of row. Uader them runs
the strip of pin. A hand-like part
of the machine catches one pin from
each of the slots as it falls, and by
one movement sticks them all through
two csrrogated ridges in the paper,
from which thAv ava Tn ha Dickal nv
taper fingers in boudoirs, and all sorts
of human fingers in all sorts of human
circumstances.
