teeth. With an outward tLrus; OF itr
tongue it then laws the pin sideways in
a little groove across the rim az a small
wheel that slowly reyolves lust under
its nose. By the external pressure Of a
stationary hoop these pins roll in their
places as they are carried under two 80
ries of small files, three in each. These
files grow finer toward the end OF the
series They lie at sight inclination
on the points Of the pin, and, by o.
ries of cams, levers and springs, are
made to play like lightning Thus the
pins are pointed and dropped in little
shower into box.
Twenty.eight pounds of pins is days
work for one of these Jerking little au-
tomatons. These are then polished.
Two ivery intelligent machines reject
every crooked pin, even the slightest ir-
regularity Of form being detected. An.
other automaton assorts falf n dozen
lengths in as many different boxes, at
once and unerrlngly, when a careless
operator has mixed the contents of boxes
from various machines Lastly, q per
feet genius of 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 the exact space, span
ming the length of row. Under them
runs the strip of pin paper. 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 corrugated ridges in the
paper, from which they are to be picked
by taper fingers, in boudoirs and adj sorts
of human fingers in all sorts of human

The Inventors.

The latest wrinkle in gas.meters is the
patent of a Norfolk man, a price-indica.
tor, showing in dollars and cents the
amount due for gas, .a.4.
An automatic railroad switch-signal
has been patented by a Hartford hotel
clerk. 1t shows danger when switch
is displaced, and will not right itself un
til the last of the indefinite number of
switches to which it may be attached has
been properly placed.
Clocks can now be made self-winding,
that is, electric clocks of the Copenhagen
variety. Louis Senderberg, the Dane
in charge of tbem,t applies to them
mechanical contrivance which periodi-
cally cuts off the stream Of electric fluid
from the battery, and brings an electro
magnet to bear upon the relaxing main
spring in such way as to renew its
tension instantaneously. .r.5,.
A young New Yorker has patented
what he calls water-skates The skate
is an air vessel made of zinc and her.
metically sealed; is about five feet in
length, 10 inches broad and 5 inches
deep, with vertical sides, and tapers off
fore and aft, or at the toe and heel, like
steamboat. On the deck or upper sur
face there is a socket into which the
foot is set, the opening being guarded by
rim of metal to keep the water from
washing into the socket. The bottom
is fitted with a double gang of automa-
tic paddles, one gang forward and
aft, with FIVE blades in each gang. The
blades are set on swivels in frame 10
inches square, that hangs vertically from
the bottom of the skate. AS the skate
is pushed forward through tue water,
the blades are opened and offer no resis-
tancs, but when the foot rests SO as to
begin a forward movement with the
other foot, the pressure backward closes
the blades and gives a purchase on the
water that materially aids in propulsion.
Each skate weighs about eight pounds,
but in the water, owing to its buoyancy,
it has no perCeptible weight on the foot.
The other day the inventor walked
across the surface of the Harlem river
on them, the movement being a sort OF
gliding step, in which the skates are not
lifted out Of the water.

Advice to a Young Man.

70 My son, if you do mean thing, if
you are guilty OF small, spiteful ac-
tion, if you wreak some paltry, shabby
vengeance on your neighbor, if you do
anything supremely little and cowardly
and hateful, and still hold up your head
and want to be respected by the world,
just lay this fattering JUNCTION to your
soul-you are the only man deceived !;
no one is fooled save yourself. If you
are mean, everybody knows 1.-THE rest
of mankind as we'll as yourself t..
Your neighbors may not-it is more
than likely they will not--tell you Qf it.
They will not express their honest opin-
ions on che subject to your face, but
when you lie down at night and blush
over your meanness by yourself, in the
dark, don't you add foolishness to your
wickedness by hqgging to yourself the
hattering deiusion that nobody knows
it. They all know it, and they all talk
about it. a. ...
Don't you know every mean thing
your neighoors do2 Don't they all tell
you all the mean things they know
about each other2 And do you suppose
they don't know all your littlenesses, if
you have any, just as we'll : My dear
boy, you must know that this shrewd
old world is too sharp for any of us, and
that you can't fool it. 1t will hold you
at your own estimate of yourself not
your publicly expressed estimate maybe,
but at your own private, honest esti-
mate; the estimate you hold Yourself at
when you have turned out the light and
crept inSo bed, and know that there is
just one Being in all the universe that
is searching your heart as closely and
far more honestly and purely than you
can. And so, if you want the world to
think you really honest and manly and
noble, my son, you have got to be
honest and manly and noble. Other
wise, / don't care what it says it thinks
Of you. | .r
Be honest with yourself, my boy, so
that when the day is done and the bless
ing Of the night falls upon you, you can
shake yourself by the hand and say
sold boy, you have made fearful mess
of it to-day; you have stumbled and
faltered you have blotted the record,
you have Just bristled with faults, bit
you did it all in honesty, in human ig.
norance and willfulness, and you haven't
lied to anybody, and when you go out on
the street, no mans accusing gIances can
make your eyes drop"

rooms. viz. parlor, sitting room. dining room
and kitchen. On the second door. will be
four sleeping rooms ami bath room. The

or cellar, the entrance to which will be By Q

Of the houses will be somewhat different from
the usual order. The paslor will be on the
south side and project out seven feet from
the hall and sitting room, which allows .
piazza to fill up the space, as the entrance to
the front door is from the piazza. Then there
are two halls, q front and rear hall. distinct
from each other. The entrance to the second
story is from the rear hall, while the front
hall. sitting room and parlor can be in Z mo-
ment thrown into one room by sliding doors.
The plan is very ingeniously contrived one,
and is the handiwork of our local architect,
Geo. G. Stevens, Esq. and reflects great
credit on his ingenuity. The roof Of the
house will be same shape as the one the
proprietor lives in on Winthrop street, that
is, a hip roof, surmounted by cresting. In
the rear Of the two houses will be a double
stable 2bx4O feet, with driveway between the
