Considerable amount of skill Is
required for The successful manu-
facIure Of these simple articles.
Steel wire is cut into The required
length and scltened, then the ends
of three are inserted into shallow
holes of a sort of rest or standard,
and thus support the barbs of al
three together, and are cut up by
The skIllful pressure OF a stout
knife; they are then pointed aud
turned by pressing them against a
little ridge of sheet brass let into
a block of wood, and having the
requisite curvature.
The other end is next flattened
out by laying it on a small anvil
and striking a blow with a ham,
mer. This is done to prevent The
silk or other ligature from slipping
over the end. The finer worn
hooks have The shanks filed in or

tempered and blued.
The Limerick hooks are made by
cutting The steel, which is made
The best malleable iron, into
of Two hooks. The ends
are then forged out to the shape Of

lercut with a file from the solid

Evolution Of Woman.

Harper's Magazine.
Ii we look back a quarter of a
century, there is no change so
marked in social and business Lille
as that in the position of women
in regard to education, employ
ment, and freedom OF action. Aud
this position of self-dependence
and self-delence is taken without
any question. A few years ago III
London it was not just the thing
for an unmarried girl to be seen
abroad alone even in her mothers
carriage. She may now be seen IN
a hanson. 1t is not long ago thai
it was thought unsafe for women TO
travel without a male protector. A
brace of spirited girls may now go
clear around The world together in
entire safety, and without exciting
any sentiment more dangerous
than admiration. So far as the
world Is concerned, they are Ell.
tirely safe as they desire to be.
Perhaps We might have more cause
for anxiety for the well-being of a
young mar or a couple of young
men on the same journey. The
world in all civilized lands will
treat the woman as she wishes to
be t'eated. 1t seems to be well
settled that women a protect
themselves, now that they are per
mitted TO do so, and that they can
come as near 10 supporting them
selves, as a good many men. In
deed, among The cDlOred women of
The South it is quite a prevalent
question whether they can afford
to take husbands. 1t is a subject
of constant speculation, what effect
this change Of position will have
upon the character of the sex. The
sex has always despised a man who
is not independent and self-sus-
tanning. The men have liked wO-
men who were not too independent.
Will women be less attractive to
men as they become less helpless,
and will their independence work a
subtle change in their nature, which
will be increasing as time goes on,
according to the laws of heredi-
tary? Will the habit of self
reliance, Of taking active part
in business. perhaps in politics
for a good many women are say
ing that they will be willing to vote
and run, or saunter for office, if
Providence puts the ballot IN their
hands,, pull certain other admira.
BILE qualities IN place of The ac-
knowledged feminine graces and
charms? This is an open question,
and one much more important than
the tariff or The surplur-even the
reported surplus OF women in GER
tam States. For it cannot be but
that tbs education of women and
their increasing freedom Of action
will as virtually affect This nation
as il has already affected the Wis
ible aspect OF modern life.

Col. Julien Alien, Of Siatesville,
N. g., who has been in Baltimore
several days in The interest of n
Southern Exposition that will be
held in the coming fall in some
NOr,h herr city, told the reporter of
the American that while III Wash
ingloD recently he had an extraor
binary interview with Mr.. James
u. Blaine, who is an intimate
irieLd of some years. He explain.
ed tD Mr.. Blaine The exposition
project, and Mr.. Blaine al once K
pressed, in the most cordial man
ner, his interest in it and his will
ingness To do anything in his pow
er TO help il forward. he also took
occasion to express his deepest IN
lerest in the development in the
South and his earnest hope of The
settlement OF the race problem in a
way that Will inure TO the best in
teresis of The whole people. The
South, he said, would have TO work
out the solution of the race prob
lem tor itself.
In the selection of fair officials
for the Southern States, Mr.. Blaine
led Col. Allen TO think that he
would favor The appointment OF
conservative Republicans = men
who had laid aside the haireds and
bitterness OF war times, and who
were aiming al The best interests
of the country aud happiness ofthe
people. In many ways Nj. Elaine
expressed his concern for the well
fare OF The South and his interest
in its success. He convinced Col.
Allen that when he took his seat
in President Harrison's cabinet he
would prove as firm a friend of the
South as that portion of The coun-
try ever had.
Mr.. Blaine also spoke freely
about his acceptance Of The posi-
of Secretary of State in PreSi-
dent Harrison's cabinet, and said
hat President HARRISON rendered
nm the position a very few days
the election and did il in such
cordial way that he at one ac.
1t in the same spirit.

Mast Wonderful Ewes,

John Thomas Heslop, OF Birmingham,
England, is a LAD whose powers of vision
are to be accounted among the marvellous.
He is keoTTn as "the living microscope" on
account Of being able to see the most mi
mute objects clearly defined. In 1878 or 1879
he was attacked with some battling eye
trouble and came very near losing his sight
forever. After the disease had reached its
worst there was an instant and startling
change for the bstter, which resulted in a
complete cure OF all Inflammation in an in-
credably short time. 1t was not cure, how
ever, that brought back the old eyesight
like that possessed by the average genus
homo. When it returned it was with ex-
traordinary increased powers of vision. To
Thomas the most minute plant louise was
AS large as rabbit and the mosquitoes bill
as large as an axe handle. He could see
and describe distinct minute objects with
startling clearness and precision. He was
amazingly shocked upon repairing to the
we'll to get a cooling draught to see the
immense number of curious creatures that
were floating, fighting and wriggliDg about
in the water. From that day to this water
has never passed the lips of john Thomas
Heslop; his drinks consist wholly of coffee,
tea and milk, thoroughly boiled. The doc
tors say that the entire organization of the
eye has undergone structural chsnge;that
the cornea has become abnormally enlarged
and that the crystalline lens have been d.
vided into three different different discs or
circles, each circle surrounded by another
