Origin of the Needle.

The needle is one of the most ancient
tools of which we have any record. The
modern needle is pointed instrument
having an eye, and used for carrying a
thread through some kind of fabric. or
other material. 1t is probable, however,
that the needles of those who lived in
very ancient times had no eyes, rs in
struments of bone, which were most
likely used for this purpose, are found
an the caves that were Inhabited by an
cient people Of France; and the needles
of ancient Egypt, which are described
as being of bronze, do not appear to
have been made with eyes. Some
writer's are of the opinion that in place
of the eye, a circular depression was
made in or near the blunt end, in which
the thread was buried. Pliny describes
the needles of bronze which were used
by the Greeks and Romans. The in
struments have also been found in the
ruins of Herculaneum. The first ac-
count that history gives of the manu-
facture of needles is that they were
made at Nuremburg in 1880; and while
the date Of the first manufacture in
England is in doubt, it is said to have
been commenced i'm that country about
l543 or 1915, and it is said that the art
was practiced by Spanish negro, or
native of India, who died without dis
closing the secret of his process. Dur
the reign of Queen Elizabeth this indus
try was revived, and has been contin-
ued ever since.

Mud Fishes.

The South American and African mud
fishes live In streams where the water
dries up in the hot season, and were 1t
not for some such provision, they would
soon become extinct. When the water
gives signs of failing, they descend into
the mud, and encasing themselves In
balls lined with some secretion, patient
" await the coming Of the waters again.
For some months they exist in this
fashion, Theoretically sealed up, as i:
were, and in some cases in Africa they
have been deprived of water for two
seasons.
A party or travellers once encamped
over such dried-up pond in Africa,
that gave little evidence of ever having
held water. Soon after terrific rain
storm came on, filling the place so that
they were obliged to move to higher
location. One of the men returning
however, for some reason, in wading TO
the side of the camp, found, to his
amazement, that the water was alive
with fishes. Opinion was divided as to
their origin; part of the men thought
it was case of spontaneous generation,
while the majority felt positive that
they had rained down. The truth was,
that the rain had soaked into the impris-
oned mud fishes, releasing them from
their baked cells, and surrounding them
once more with water.
The air bladders of these fishes are d.
vided into compartments, and have all
the requisites of a true lung, and they
are as truly amphibians as the frogs and
toads.
Other amphibians have different meth
DDS of withstanding the drought. Thus
the Hassar, when the water begins to
dry up in the pools and streams, does
not encase itself in mud ball, but
leaves the heated and fast disappearing
LIQUID, starts overland in search of a
better supply.
On the coast of China. and in various
other localities, is found fish that is
so lively on dry land that it is as difficult
to capture as a frog or toad, leaping
along the rocks from stone to stone, and
where it is particularly slippery, avoid
ing its human pursuers.

Nostalgia.

Nostalgia, inconsistencies, "heim
weh"-no matter what you call tia
rose by any other name would smell as
sweet"-it is an uninistakable fact,
though philosophers may sheer and
callous- hearted persons laugh. 1t is a
disease as much as neuralgia or fever
are diseases it battles the cleverest doc
tors skill and admits Of only one COM
plete cure, and that is by removing its
cause. Sheer strength Of will May keep
it i'm allowance; hard work may tnrn
aside its course for "a while; but some-
times, at odd moments, in unexpected
places, it asserts itself with an uncon-
trollable longing, a sickening thirst for
horne, which will neither be repressed
or appeased. A floating scent in the
air-a scent laden with the memory Of
bygone day, sunset flush in the sky,
an old melody borne on the breeze, have
been known to bring on an attack Of
this strange illness, almost unbearable
in degree. Reason has little or no eff
feet in sutduing its feverish excite
ment; friendship the closest, love the
tenderest, annot turn aside its current:
music has no power to soothe its bitter
ness, nor the distractions of gayety to
rouse it from its melancholy. 1t Is
sometimes outside the sufferer body,
outside himself, his feeling, his reason,
it is sickness Of the soul, a longing to
outstrip time and space, to leave the
laggard body behind and fly to the ma
tive air, the loved associations and ear
ly friends of childhood.

One Hundred Millions Too Much.

In an article which appeared in the SPEC
TAToR November Oath, entitled European
Wheat Observation-Disclosures Prices" we
furnished facts and figures taken from q
communication in the NeO York Journal Of
Commerce, written by Mr.. Henry Kemp, q
member of the New York Produce Ex-
change. The writer argued that rise in
the price of wheat would come to pass, and
gave his views of the situation in Europe as
well as in the United States. He assumed
that in wheat and wheat-four the United
States could export 1873, 100000 bushels,
and, at the time he wrote, A, 000,0 900 bush
els had left our shores, leaving US with a
surplus of 90, 900, 600 to enter the markets
of Europe upon shortage of 200, 900, 600.
Some of our Virginia cetemporaries, among
them Farm and Home of Dec. 4th, in re-
producing extracts from the article. have
it that we have already exported 141, OOO,-
900, and that we can, with the reserves on
hand, make our total exports for the year
ending July, 1887, 1888, 0o3 900 bushels.-
If our contemporaries, who have made this
mistake, will correct it by taking off one
hundred millions of the quantity which
has already left the country, and the same
amount from the surplus of our production,
then they will have the figures as Mr..
Kemp wrote them, and as they were re-
produced in the SPECTATOR from the Jour-
nal of Commerce Immediately prior to the
oath November.
