Two Remarkable Needles

The International Exhibition of Needlework
which is to be held at Sydenham in July, 1851,
will include among ether curiosities, two
things which will not be the least Of the at
fractions of the exhibition. One is the famous
needle which was presented to the Emperor Of
Germany last year under circumstances worth
recalling. The Emperor was visiting the
great needle mandatory at krenznach, and
was DESTROYS Of seeing for himself the relative
power Of machinery as compared with skilled
hand labor. bundle Of superfine needles
was placed before him, 900 Of which weigh
ed less than half an ounce, and he expressed
his establishment that eyes could be bored in
such minute objects. Thereupon the fore
man of the boring department asked His Maj
to give him hair from his beard, and receiv-
ing it he bored an eye in It, threaded it, and
handed it back to the astonished Emperor this
improvised and most peculiar needle. The
other curious needle was manufactured at
Redditch, and presented to the Queen It is
a sort of miniature Trajan's column All
around 1t are represented scenes from the
Queens life, executed so infinitely that mag
nifying glass is required to distinguish them.
The needle can be opened, and within it are n
number Of very fine needles, on which also
scenes have been engraved. -LohdoH Timss.

have been granted for inventions which
relate to agricultural processes and

all agriculture would be brought to
dead stop and the teamwork would
cease. Even the light, useful hoes would
have to be dispensed with, and the
farmer would have to dig holes with q

to plant his corn and potatoes. While
We gratefully acknowledge all this. we
must, on the other hand. point to the
fact that the manufacturers ut least
if not the inventors-have been repaid
in munificent manner, as hundreds of
millionaires who owe their fortunes to
their profits in this direction might
testify. SO that while the farmers have
ben benefited they have cancelled all
obligation by having paid for everything
they have received, and, on the whole,
perhaps to the extent of three times or
more the actual necessary value to afford
a fair adequate return for benefits re-
ceiyed.
But at the same time the farmers
have been harassed beyond patient en-
durance by flock of vultures which
have lowered around this grand army of
patentees, and have swooped down
upon them and made them prey. BY
deceit and false representations articles
which have been fraudulently patented
or otherwise in some cases-have
been sold to farmers at full prices. os-
tensibly AS having been not patented,
and soon after claims have been made
for infringemeuts Of the patents which
the farmers have been obliged to paw.
1t is this injurious operation of the
patent laws which farmers object to,
and all they ask is that the purchaser in
good faith of fanny patented article should
not be held liable for infringement, but
that this burden should be thrown upon
the real otfender-the maker and seller
of such articles. With this amendment
farmers would make no complaints in
regard to the present patent laws, al
though some other changes might be

Carpet.Beating.

We have no wish to decry this peri
ode publication, hut merely to point
out rules for its better conduct and
efficiency. The usual process in house
holds which can not afford to have it
earned out by special agency is first to
take up the carpets and sweep the wal $
and ceilings, and then to wash the
floors. While the latter are or ing,
work must be found for the idle hands,
and they AN not be better employed

to complain o. the noise-no appeal in
this direction will gain q moments
sympathy; but we hope more atten-
ton wi be paid to the other nuisance.
hen we ref,e on the nature of the
dust thus raised, we are surprised that
sane persons allow to be thus stirred up
cumulations OF dining-room. bedroom
and stair carpets, to say nothing of
door-mats, ETC., into q fine dust, a nd
which, thus dispersed, finds its way
again into cur houses in a form most
readily accessible TO our respiratory or
gans. Indeed, it is fortunate if the
dust thus reused is only Bauseous and
not infective. since the desquamated
cuticle of scarlet fever. the scabs of
smallpox. the dried sputa of consump-
tive or whooping-cough patients. living
parasites, and hairs from NANCY cats

Should I plant again l would set the

We let asparagus and fOxtail, if any,
grow. Nothing more is done till the
ground is dry the next spring. Then
we cover the patch thickly with straw,

straw, stalks and seeds together. Then

The Best Filter.

The Japanese use porous sandstone
followed in the shape of an egg,
through which the water percolates
into a receptacle underneath: the
Egyptians resort to a similar device;
the Spaniards use porous earthen pot.
But these and other similar contrivances
cannot be thoroughly cleansed; after
the most thorough rinsing, some impuri-
ties will remain in the pores of the
stone. Spongy iron and carferal are
open to the same objection; they will
answer well for short time, but soon
become contaminated by pollution re-
tanned In their pores. Sponge, cloth
and felt, unless cleaned every day or
two with hot water, will do more harm
than good, and the average servant
girl will not clean them or any other
filter unless under the eve of her mis-
tress.
The various forms of filters that are
screwed to the faucet have only to be
hastily examined to be discarded, as
there is not sufficient filtering material
in them to be of much utility, and thew
very soon become foul and offensive.
Buck SAYS: There is no material known
which can be introduced into the small
space of tap-filter and accomplish any
real publication of the water which
passes through at the ordinary rate of
flow"
Thcvarious complicated closed filters,
filed with any material which can not
be removed for cleansing, condemn
themselves. No amount of pumping
water through them at different angles,
which is at all likely to be used, can
cleanse them of the impurities that adj
here to the mass and in the pores of
the filtering material used. Parkes, in
his Manual of Practical HYGIENE"
says: Filters. where the material is
cemented up and cannot be removed,
ought to be abandoned altogether"
The various metal filters in which
the water comes in contact with metal.
lie surfaces, either iron, lead, timed
iron, or zinc, are Objectionable from
their appreciable influence upon the
water retained in them for any consid-
cradle time. Pure block-tin is least OBJ
jectionable of any of the metals
The aim of most filters is to remove
impurities from the water speedily-as
rapidly as it escapes from the faucets.
Experiment shows thst effective filtra-
ton can not be accomplished in this
way, as the water does not remain long
enough in contact with the filtering ma
terial used to become purified of much |
that might be removed by slow filtra- !,
ton or percolation through the same
appliance. OF all the filtering mate
rails mentioned it seems to me that
sand and charcoal are the two that &C
complish the best results, and of these
vegetable charcoal is the best. -Edwta
