An Unpopular Man.

Bill collectors, who are only doing
their duty and trying TO make other men
become honest and pay their Just debts,
have hard time OF 1t. Everybody
thinks it is his right to snub the bill col
lector. Poor fellow he is perpetually
irving to catch sight Of the man who has
lust gone round the corner, who will be
back in five minutes, 80 the clerk says,
but who never comes back until the old
bill collector has gone. II is on record
that by some strange fatuity OF fortune
a collector once found his debtor at
home. Such circumstance nearly took
his breath away, for, like the Wandering
Jew, he had been flying from pillar to
post for nearly year, and had never
once found the right man in the right
place but he took out his battered wal
let and presented the account, yellow
with age, and humbly asked for settle
ment. You must call again, was the
stern, imperative demand of the man,
who never intended to have money
enough to pay that bill. The victim
with the threadbare clothes and the
worn-out shoes suggested that it was not
easy to 60 up three flights of stairs three
times day in order to find the ominous
word tout" on the Office door: "Well, ="
said the naughty debtor, "perhaps You
would like 10 have me relt room on tho
first floor for the sake of my creditors. "
The old bill collector uttered deep sigh,
put his wallet back into his pocket, and
walked into back alley where his home
was, while the iaunty debtor sprang into
his landau and went up to the park for
drive Such ia life.

An Ancient Instrument.

A writer in periodical called Hart
warC says: The needle Is one Of the
most ancient instruments Of which we
have any record The modern needle is
a pointed instrument having an eye, and
is used for carrying thread, some kind
of fabric or other material. II is prob
able, however, that the needles Of those
people who lived in very ancient times
had no eyes, as instruments OF bone,
which were most likely used for that
purpose, are found in the caves that were
inhabited by ancient people Of France,
and the needles Of sncient Egypt, which
are described as being Of bronze. do not
appear to have been made with eyes.
Some writer's are OF opinion that in place
of the eye a circular depression was
made in or near the blunt end, i'll which
the thread was buried. Pliny describes
the needles Of bronze which were used
by the Greeks and Romans. These in
strmentS have also been found in the
ruins Of Hercuaneum. The first account
that history gives Of the manufacture Of
needles is that they were made at
NwcmDurg in 1850, and while the date
OF their first manufacture in England is
in doubt, il is said TO have commenced
in that country about lj43 or l5i5, and
it is asserted that the art was practiced
by Spanish negro. or native Of India,
who died without disclosing the secret Of
his process. During the reign Of Queen
Elizabeth this industry was revived
and has been continued ever since.
Christopher Grecning and Mr.. Damer
established needle factories at Long
Crcndon, near Redditch, in England, III
1880, aud these were soon followed by
other London needle makers. Redditch
il still the center Of needle manufacture.
The eyes Of the earliest needles were
square. Many unsuccessful attempts
were made to bring ont the so-callcd
''drIll eyed needles before they were
finally introduced in 1896 Two years
later tine furnishing machine in which
the eyes Of needles a." polished was
completed. In this machine the needles
are strung ON steel wire, which is
caused TO reyo.ve rapidly and thereby
impart beautiful finish to the eye.
The process of hardening needles was
for many wears accomplished by casting
them while red hot, into cold water.
BY this means large proportion of them
became crooked, and the services of a
large number OF wOrkmen were required
~ straightcn them. In 1910 the substi-
tuition Of oil III the place of wafer took
place. and this caused large number OF

he stood up and called the learned Judge
to come into court, on fine of ESQ.
This he did three different times, and in
the usual way. He then declared that
