FIRE AND BIRTHSTONE.
A Relish Which Spoke Louder Than tn
Parsons Sermons.

Relish Which Spoke Louder Than the
Parsons Sermons.
A West of Scotland clergyman was
going to the Highlands for his holidays.
and being very fond of the ''Nabob
Pickles." he took a bottle with him.
The 'Nabob Pickles are extremely
hot, and should be sparingly used. Ar
rived at hotel, he placed the bottle on
the table and took one or two of them.
A Yankee was sitting opposite. and got
his eye on the pickles. Stranger, pass
the pickles, please" The clergyman
said: These are private property. but
YOU are welcome to them" He passed
the bottle across the table. The Yankee
emptied half the bottle into his plate,
and stirred them well up with his spoon.
He took a big spoonful. but they were
not long down when he drew long
breath, and said: 'sOh, dodgast it!
Look here. stranger, guess you are
parsonP" "WelI, I am a clergyman,
and preach the Gospel" Look you
here" said the Yankee, 81 have heard
them preach about fire and birthstone,
but you are the first one know who
carries a sample bottle.-Ch7Istian

ely upon quick

ends successfully upon quick
running grindstones. being rotated
between two India rubber bands, travel
ing over a grindstone with concave
face; by blow from falling die the
two heads are headed, and cutters
marked for the eyes; the eyes are
pierced by pair of punches in deli
cate hand press; the needles are thread
ed on pair of fine wires. and filed to
remove the burr made in stamping;
they are then broken across through the
thin fin left between the heads, and the
heads themselves rounded by filing;
they are then heated in small iron trays,
and dropped separately into an oil bath,
to harden them; after which they are
tempered on a hot plate, or in stove,
and Strengthened by hand hammer on
small anvil, to remove any warping
due to hardening.
The needle has now assumed its final
condition, but it is not yet finished. The
next operation is securing, for which a
number of needles, mixed up with soft
soap, emery and oil are wrapped up with
canvas into roll about two feet long
and three inches in diameter, and then
run backward and forward under run
ners worked by crank from the engine.
The process goes on for eight hours,
during which the needles are continually
rubbing against each other, and it is re-
peated from two to eight times, the final
securing being with putty powder. In
some eases the Strengthening and scour-
ing are performed at the same time by
machinery. When perfectly secured
the needles are shaken up in a
tray until they lie parallel, and
then by a dexterous motion of the
hand they are shifted so that all the
points are in the same direction.
Next, defective needles are picked out
of the lot by hand; the eyes are "blued"
or softened by traversing them over
gas flame, and in some cases the eye is
smoothed on each face by fine coun-
ter-sunk drill. The needles are then
strung on horizontal wire, carried on a
reciprocating frame, the wires have SER
rated surfaces which smooth the inside
Of the eyes as the needles swing to and
fro; this process is called furnishing.
Lastly, the heads and points are fin
ished off by grinding first On a nine
inch grindstone, and then on an emery
roller, the workman holding number
of needles in his hand together and roll
ing them between his finger and thumb.
1t now only remains to stick the needles
side by side in sheets of paper and pack
them for sale.-Iroae Age.

Al COLD STATION.
RrivatfOns. Endured by the Signal-ServicA
Man on MT. Washington.

PrivaAions Endured by the Signal-Service
Men on MT. Washington.
. A. regularity of Mount Washington,
due to- its rarifed atmosphere, is the
fact that it takes longer time, and of
course more fuel, to do the cooking.
You order hard-boiled egg at the
Summit House, and it must cook just
twice as much as at the Crawford.
Meat keeps here long time without
spelling. Putrefaction is so slow that
yonder lies the body of lamented dog
who died months ago, but is as well
preserved as if stuffed with sugar of
Lead. The successor of this dead dog
is splendid animal of Great Saint
Bernard. weighing one hundred and
fifty pounds. Winter in the signal sta.
ton on Mount Washington must be,
serious business. Water will freeze,
hard by red-hot stove. There are six
men in the signal station. One of them;
in mid-winter goes down the mountain
on snow-shoes, picking his way, but it
is often week before he can get day
to return in. The highest wind re-
corded on the summit is one hundred,
and eighty-six miles an hour, and the
lowest temperature is fifty-five degrees
below zero, or eighty seven degrees be-
low freezing. The signal-station wires
come upon the railway trestle. The
wires on the posts are removed in the
fall, as the accumulation of frosts on
them would break them.-N IN. Chris

The various Processes Necessary to Con-
vert Steel Wire Into Needles.
Almost all the needles made in En-
gland are made at Redditch. The wire
is of the best quality of steel, and is sup
piled in coils varying from 1900 to 5000
yards in length. and from 1-22 inch to
LOO inch in thickness. The processes
passed through are as follows: The
wire is cut to lengths of two needles by
hand or machine shears; these lengths
are annealed in punches of about four
inches in diameter; while still hot, and
held together by rings, the bundles are
rolled over by hand-pressure on an iron
table, so as to straighten each other;

Miss Bayard's Clever Retort.

Oscar Wilde knew the late Miss Bayard
very well. He was great admirer of her
wit and power of repartee, and lost no op-
portunity to meet her during his stay in
Washington. One fine day the capitals
society people found themselves interested
in two events which were to take place in
the evening. One was a lecture by the
champion of the sunflower and the other
was a brilliant reception. Oscar Wilde met
Miss Bayard during the afternoon OF that
eventful day, and she asked him:
'.Mr. Wilde, will you go to the reception
to-night?''
''Well," he replied, eff I am not too
much fatigued after my lecture"
A short pause followed and then he said:
"Miss Bayard, of course you will be at
the reception"
"Well,'' came the answer, "if I am not
too much fatigued after your lecturer'-

LUCKY BoY.-The oroyille Mercury Of

LUCKY BoY.-The 0royille Mercury Of
January 22d says:
Eugene, Oldest son of Judge P. o Humid
ley, is in luck. An aged Irish lady, who
nursed him in his boyhood. died in San
Francisco the other day and left him a
fine property-building and lot-valued at
$4,000 or $4,000. We congratulate the
young gentleman on being the faForite of
the good hearted lady, and know that he
appreciates the splendid gift. He is a
young gentleman of intelligence and char
acter. and will use the property to the best
advantage. Such streaks of luck do not
strike more than once in lifetime, and,
like lightning, rarely ever in the same spot.
