The sewer Approrrlntlon.

The Finance Committee of City
Council has not yet decided what
action II will take on the refusal
Of City Treasurer Griffith to pay
over TO the Street and Sewer Department
the $50. 900 for the intercepting sewer,
as the report Of the proceedings Of City
Council last night will show. When the
other appropriations were made for
the ensuing fiscal year, none
was made for this purpose,
upon the ad vice Of City Solicitor Turner,
who held that the act Of the Legislature
was sufficient. Should the Finance Com
mittee decide TO stand by its
previous action and not pass
an ordinance providing for an
extraordinary appropriation, the Street
aud Sewer Department viii have to settle
the matter by legal proceedings against

A Jolly Monarch.

The death of Dom Luis, King of Portugal,
will not produce any change whatever in the
politics Of Europe. Only very accomplish
ed and amiableroyal gentleman passed away.
He was not only a thorough English scholar,
and had translated Hamlet" and "Othello"
into Portuguese verse, but he was very ex-
cellent artist in water colors, and had ex-
ecuted a number Of charming pictures Of the
scenery of his kingdom. He was extremely
good natured, and waswont to laugh heartily
at the caricatures of himself in the comic
paperso of Lisbon. A few years ago pamphlet,
ridiculing, his majesty and the policy he had
pursued throughout his reign, was issued in
his capital. The impertinent news vender
came to cry this obnoxious publication be-
side the royel carriage one day, when Dom
Luis had started out for drive. "Stopl"
cried the king to his coachman. The news
vender was about to take fight, when Dom
Luis called to him peremptorily from the car
riage window He obeyed the royal mandate
in fear and trembling. I'm take two copies"
said the king serenely. And as he drove of
he was saluted by the cheers of the popu-
lace.--Lucy Hooper in Philadelphia Tele-
gram.

A woman's Weapon.

When we remember that nearly a hundred
workmen, that is, nearly hundred separate
processes, are required for the making of
every needle threaded, from the construction
of the coil of fine steel wire to the last poll
ishing of the point, the facility with which
we use, lose, and break needles, and the cheap
ness with which we buy them, border upon
the business Of Aladdin's lamp.
It Is only about two hundred years that we
have had our little steel needles, they having
been brought in from Spain as luxury in
the "Great Eliza's" reign, but not entering
into cemmon manufacture till hundred
years later. They were then very clumsy
thing n comparison with the shining little
rapier of today, wonderful improvements
having been made in the delicate manufac-
ture since that time. The needles found in
old tombs, such as those whose age is sup
posed to be numbered by thousands Of years,
were of bronze and Of very coarse size; but
needles of some still more primitive design
were undoubtedly used by the older nations,
and they must have been slender ones that
sewed the delicate muslins of the Chaldean
and Indian women, and of those of the Assy
rian, Egyptian, and the farther east, al
though, in the earliest periods of all peoples,
doubtless bones and thorns were made to
serve the purpose. -Harper's Bazaar.
