Needles.

What becomes Of all the lost needles?
Millions of these useful little imple-
ments are manufactured yearly. and
experience proves that while frac-
tionaI part OF them is spoiled by break
ing, by far the largest portion disap-
pears mysteriously. The housewife or
seamstress sticks the tiny bar of steel
in her dress or in the cushion; when
she seeks it again il can not be found
it has vanished as completely as il i'm.
mersed in bath OF aquafortis. The
old nursery rhyme says:
A penny for cotton ball,
A hl'penny for q needle
That's the way the money goes,
And pop goes the weasel!
We have always been puzzled TO nc.
count for the introduction OF the weasel
in this antique quatrain. Possibly. our
great-grandmothers, mystifed by tho
loss Of their needles. concluded thai
they must have been filched by the sly
and noiseless animal referred TO. But
nowadays, when. the weasei's visits in
'well-regulated household are far and
few between, no theory Of that sort will
bear the penetrating light of scientific
inquiry. Nevertheless, the needles con-
tinue 10 go-comparatively few Of them
retired by active work, most OF them
irretrievably lost.
Perhaps a CLEAN Of light is cast on
this obscure problem by the news sent
TO us from the little town of Sardinia,
in the northern part of this State. A
Mrs. Seely there having complained OF
acute pains in her arms, DIR. Kingman
poulticed the sur ace above the spots
where the pain was most keenly felt,
and few days afterwarG gradually ex-
tracted no less than forty-six needles
from the muscles between the shoulder
and the elbow. The patient has moi
the slightest idea OF how the irritants
got there. This case is by no means
phenomenal or unprecedented Many
instances are recorded OF ladies who
developed mania for swallowing nee
dies or deliberately pushing them into
their flesh. Hence the query naturally
arises whether most Of the lost ncedlei
are not unconsciously absorbed into tho
systems Of our wives, sisters, cousinA
and aunts. II may be an evidence ol
the benevolent design Of nature to thu,
supply a needed element OF iron In tho
blood. At all events It Is subject
which ought to be comprehensively in
yestigated by our scientific societies. =

claim, a Arst-class imagination also.
Bacteria are alleged to be germs Of dis
ease, and the German doctor who discov-
cred them has been hailed as ono of the
greatest benefactors OF mankind Of this
generation. A Philadelphia doctor now
claims that he has invented trap in which
he can capture these inRnitesimal germs
as flies are caught in fy-trap. This Gu
rious contrivance is the invention OF DR..
W. II. Webb, Of North Sixteenth street,
who has upon many occasions in the

deadly germs to show that we breathe
anything but a healthy atmosphere. He
recently obtained permission from the
Mayor to set his trap in the gallery Of
crowded hall, and the result was appalling.
He declines to explain the details OF his
invention in advance Of the publication Of

CHAPlER II.

The sun rose at the usual hour The weather was beautiful and a, dawn the sky was dressed in purple, with here and there fleecy, rufflcd cloud of fine linen. One star staid up 10 welcome the sun, and then. like a morning newspaper man, melted from view. The long stretch of sandbar was soon dotted with people Anxious fathers brought their children, and cripples and paralyzed men came as though they were going to bathe their shrunken shanks in Bethesda of blood and be healed. IL was naturally expected that the combatants would come heeled. Just as the sun had lost his deep glow and had put on his dazzling spangles. the duelists arrived. They shook hands cordially, and each man turned to his seconds. They were to hgh, with winter bowie eknives-overcoats, properly speak ing.
 Stickney ran his thumb nail along the edge of his overcoat, turned to the audi ence. and said
 This will be a memorable day in the history of Arkansaw.

Although no political im- portance can be attached to the encounter which is soon to take place, yet it is of great social moment.

P. T. BARNu,i, the great snowman has just made his will. It is stated that he has an estate valued a, ten million dol lars and that the testament bequeAshing its distribution covers seven hundred pages of legal cap paper. This is prob ably the longest will ever made in America, and its great length was no doubt designed to cause trouble in case of contest by dissatisfied heirs. About t~o hundred pages are taken up in de seription of the white elephant. and sev- eral other pages are covered with private advice to tha, sacred animal Mir Bar mum is a very old man, but this is not though, to be the cause of making his will, but the real incentive to the last ,es- lament is that he contemplates taking a show into the Indian Territory.

 The news of the approaching encoun- ter soon found circulation. Rosy cheeks blanched and stout hearts quivered. Al last these two desperate men were to hgh,. Men who had lived in this fond hope sank unrequited into their graves, and old women who had shared this hope dreamed away their delusive lives.

Agailst the Law to Make Presents.

A. Loeb, the enterprising and energetic
manager of the Golden Eagle clothing
store, was fined S. with costs by Justice
Cooke last evening for giving a present to
each purchaser who patronized his estab-
lishment. The arrest was made by Con-
stable Eckhart and the charge was selling
clothing by means of inducements through
gifts of various articles of value drawn by
prize tickets contrary to law. The JUS
tice made the fine only S. with costs be>
cause this was the first offense. 1t is a
queer proceeding. Mr.. Loeb says that
he is and always has been law abiding
citizen. which everybody knows TO be
true.
By means of his gift enterprise he had
done good business, but often times par
ties have drawn gifts of greater value
than their purchase amounted to. Yet
in the aggregate the gift scheme has left
margin of profit on the goods sold. Mr..
Loeb feels perfectly satisfied that the
arrest was effected by jealous rivals, less
enterprising, who had nothing to do but
plan against him while he was selling
goods. In accordance with his custom
oil obeying the behest of the law he has
Withdrawn his gift drawing enterprise but
