How a. ConRecticut Manufacturer Sue
ceeded with Imported Cutters.
About four years ago Colonel Frary,
President of the Bridgeport Cutlery
Company, while on a tour through Eu-
rope, visited many of the cutlery estab-
lishments, in Germany, Hamburg and
England: The manufacture of razOrs
being in a primitive state in this coun-
try, he decided that he could do no bet
ter than to bring over some of the work
men to the United States. The work
men in Sheffield, England, were as a
rule, members of the trades unions,
and Colonel Frary had considerable diff
ficulty in. engaging the men whom he
wanted. A few months later he haG
the satisfaction of seeing forty of them
with their families sailing for this cOun-
try, accompanied by the secretary of
the trade, 0nion. In Germany and
Hamburg he engaged sixty men, and at
once shipped them and their families to
thiscounfry- Separate rooms were fit
ted up, for the newly-arrived razor
makers i'm the shops at Bridgeport. the
Germans, being in one part of the works
and the English in another.
Colonel Frary said: Il had a great
deal OF Trouble with my men at first. l

NEEDLESS
How They Are Made-The Different Kinds
and the Place Where Manufactured.

How They Are Made-The Different Kinds
and the Place Where Manufactured.
Few people have any idea of the fac-
that there are no less than seventy
distinct kinds of needles manu-
factured, each kind including many
varieties. Nearly all the needles
in the world are made in the
neighborhood of Birmingham, Eu-
gland. There are also manufactures
in France, Germany and America; but
the production in these latter countries
is comparatively small. Needles were
made by Gaamer GurtOn in Nuremburg
in 1880, but it may reasonably be sup
posed that they were in Use in more or
less primitive form long before that
date, although there is no authentic
record of it. The needle trade in Lon
don dates at least Is far back as 1913,
and in 1856 Cromwell created a corpor-
ate body of needlemakers. The ordinary
needles in use in those early days were
much like those in use now, but enOr-
nous progress has been made in the
art of manufacturing them.
The manufacture of u needle takes
frem two to three weeks. The greater
part of the work is now done by ma
chinery. The wire used is made for the
most part in the district around about
Sheffield. 1t comes in coils and is cut
into lengths exactly double that OF the
completed needle. The first process is
the pointing of these bits of wire
at both ends. Then they are
stamped" this process faShioning
the head. The eyes are next bored. and
the bits of wire are filed smooth, tenn
pered, and cut in two, each bit making
two needles. The poor ones are next
picked out and the good ones, are pol
ished. ground, ''set," and ''blue-
pointed" This last process finishes
them, and the needles are papered up,
twenty-five in a packet. twenty packets
tied together, put up in lots by the thou
sand, and sent off to Australia, Burmah,
Brazil, or wherever the order comes
from Nearly all sewing machine
needles are made here, but they are
the only ones that are made largely out
side of England. The process of point
ing" the needles was formerly done
hand 1t was unhealthful work, for by
the pointer inhaled the fine. steel
dust, which was sure to kill him before
many years. Now the pointing is done
by machinery entirely, the needles, be-
ing held by rubber bands.
Among the most curious needles are
the uphoissers' needle, the iarding nee
die fused by coOks), the trussing nee
die. the ventilating needle (for wig
makers)s the knotting needle (for max
ing false whiskers), the hackle (for
hair-dreSsers), and the rug needle, witt
a two-edged blade, used for sacking
hams. The largest needle known is of
steel, two feet long. The most ex-
pensive needles are the surgeons and
broommakers', which cost one dollar
apiece sometimes. The cheapest nee
dies sell for thirtytwo cents per 1,000..
There are no less than thirty distinct
styles of surgeons needles, and they
are made of all shapes. adapted to the
sewing up of wounds and to other pur-
poses.-C Chicago Tribune.

MAKING BOOKS.
An Experts Opinions OF the Prevailing
English Method.

an Experts Opinions of the Pnevailins
English Method.
A great mistake with English, authors.
is the use of the commonplace book, in
which extracts from the works of others;
are alphabetically arranged TO be used
again. In my opinion we read toe
many books. What we want is te
come in contact with life. There ar,
those who make books from books anG
those who make books from what they
see. There are books which are only
the successors of other books, and.these
are simply old works done, up as new.
According to my ideas a book should
only be written when. one. has. seme>
thing to say. Don't go, to, your com
monplace sheets and collect together a
number of extracts and dish them up ir
book form. Go to the window and
look upon nature. Then let Us heal
your own ideas about it, Many people
imagine they have ideas when they are
merely impregnated with those OF
others which they have read It is
great mistake. The greater part of the
novelists of to-day never portray reai
life. They have certain sterotypes fol
heroes, certain models for heroines,
certain pictures for scenery. Pshawi it
is sickening. Shakespeare was great
not because he wrote Romeo and Ju-
liet'' and .'Ohello." but because he
came in contact with existence. All
his characters are living. Their fidelity
to life is sirsply astonishing. The same
can be said of Balzac. Shakespeare
and Balzae are great manufacturers OF
beings. iR Nes1 York Times.

JANE CARY'S OUTING.
a Mysterious Dispensation Of

OF cashmerer
~ know it. Mrs. Barker, but I've
planned it all. and [ can have it made
up in this style by using a sham skirt. "
Miss Cary took up ''The Bazar" and
pointed to figure on the pattern plate.
Il was quite awhile deciding whether
To have basque or polonaise, and
then | was bothered to know whether
I'd better have the skirt box-pleated or
side-pleated, but finally settled on this
pattern"
1T will be very tasty, too" replied
the neighbor. ''and those pleats will be
worn for while longer, think, though
the city boarders had some of their
dresses made that way last summer"
While Mrs. Barker was speaking she
kept rubbing her fingers over the piece
of black cashmere which was lying on
top of Miss Cary's sewing machine.
Il call that pretty good piece, for
the price, don't you. Mrs. Barker?"
Miss Cary asked, as she took one end of
the goods in her hands and held it up to
the window. You see it has blue
black shade, and the filing is beaten up
thick and firm"
1T is an excellent piece, if 1 am any
Judge; but when are you going to start.
Miss Cary?n
Il hope to get off next week. while
work is slack. Next month. you know,
I'll be driven, for the spring sewing will
come in then"
You'll miss your daughter. Mrs
Cary said the neighbor. turning to
address the mother, who sat in an old
fashioned rocking chair by the stove.
Yes, but Amandy Wells is coming
to stay with me. and I'm glad enough
t. have Jane go. She's been a trying
to get out to her brother Jacobs for ten
years. but every time she's made up her
