Two Curious Needles.

Girls. we are afraid, don't like sew
ing quite AS well as they ought to. 1t
is so much easier to ask mother to do
what is needed than to do it themselves.
And many mothers, unfortunately, think
it takes less time and trouble to do the
work than to teach their daughters to
do it. But the girls may be interested
in reading about some curious needles.
if they are not obliged to use them The
King of Prussia recently visited needle
mandatory in his kingdom, in order to
see what machinery, with the human
hand, could produce. He was shown a
number of superfine needles. thousands
of which, together, did not weigh half
an ounce, and marveled how such
minute objects could be pierced with an
eye. But he was to see that in this
respect something still finer and more
perfect could be created. The borer,
that is the workman whose business it
is to bore the eyes of these needles,
asked for hair from the monarch's
head. 1t was readily given, and with .
smile. He placed it at once under the
boring made hole in it with
the greatest care, furnished it with q
thread and then handed the singular
needle to the astonished King. the
second curious needle is in the posses
sion of Queen Victoria. 1t was made al
Redditch. and represents the column Of
Traian in miniature. This well-known
Roman column is adorned with numer!
GUS scenes in sculpture which immor-
talize Trajan's heroic actions in war.
On this diminutive needle, scenes in the
life of Queen Victoria are represented
in relief, but so finely cut, and so small.
that it requires magnifying glass to
see them. The Victoria needle can.
moreover. be opened. 1t contains :
number of needles of a smaller size.
which are equally adorned with scenes

Let barnyards and stables near dwell

tolerate the throwing out of any Stops
from the kitchen window. Even pure
surface-water from rain-storms or
snow-falls should be carefully removed
to prevent undue dampness aud rising
mo sture. Where rain-leaders do not
deliver into a storage cistern, they
ought to discharge into earthen
pipes, laid, with great care
and with true grade,
on firm foundation, delivering the
water into some convenient ditch, open
water-course, or cutters of roads. Rain
water should be removed at least to
such a distance from the house that
soakage into the subsoil will not cause
dampness of the cellar-walls. 1t is in
admissible to connect rain-leaders to
the house-dra.n d;scharging into a
cesspool, and it is quite important to
ascertain that no rain-water pipe, ter
minating.- perhaps, near upper bed

any foul drain. That portion of the
rain falling directly on the ground sur
rounding the house must be diverted
by proper grading. so as to protect the
foundation-walls.
We shall conclude our remarks with
the advice that no country house should
