She Got the Needle After All.

Nineteen years ago o woman residing here
accidentally pushed needle into her breast.
She had been sewing on fine muslin and she
pushed the point Of the needle through the
lapel Of her basque while she inquired into
the cause of a quarrel between two children
who were playing near by. In paroxysm
of tears the younger child threw herself into
the arms Of the lady, and as she did so the
needle was pushed 50 far out Of sight that
only the eye was visible. A quick movement
to rescue it resulted in an entire disappear
ance Of the fine bit Of steel. No inconven-
fence was experienced and the incident was
entirely forgotten A few evenings ago the
woman, who had carried the needle about
her for 50 many years, was awakened out OF
q sound sleep by peculiar pricking sensation
in the throat. Rising up in bed she began to
cough. The pricking became more severe,
but the sharp substance appeared to be rising
in her throat Thrusting her fingers down
as far as possible she caught hold of an object
and drew it ont. It was the needle that
had been journeying about under the surface
for IIineteen yearS-kingston Freeman.

THE PRODUCTION OF an abundant

from the use, by those who have become

Finding Money in Egypt.

A villager lately found some money
in the bank of the Nile by accident,
but not by happy accident; for what is
good fortune in the West is misfortune
in the East, so reversed is the order OF
things in the Orient. The villager was
in a boat, with three others, and rum
ming their boat into the bank of the
river, stove in an earthen jar buried in
the soil, and containing money. Three
of the trovers took some; the fourth,
being cautious man, and having his
doubts as to the consequences, did not
take any. The circumstance, of course,
came to the ears of the nearest Gov.
ernor, and the men were all put in
prison. First, they were all basti-
nadoed for keeping the thing from him;
and next, because they did not produce
as much as the Governor considered
they must have taken. The poor fell
lows gave up all; but why should the
Governor believe they had given up
all, or that one of them had taken
noneP A little more beating, and a
little moro Imprisonment had the de.
sired effect of producing moro money,
the unlucky finders being glad to take
some frQR their own stores at home,
besides What they had taken from the
accursed jar in the bank, to satisfythe
hungry and cautious Governor.-N. Y.

AUSTI,
MY ALICE,

o. when wooed my love the rill
That murmured through the meadow
was silent, and the rustic mill
Ceased whirling in the shadow;
AND every starry blossom near
Upraised a sc n ted chalice,
And leaned to listen, and to hear
The answer of my Alice.
Through many anight, illumed with love,
And many o rosy dawnlng,
The happy hours lightly move,
Till came my marriage morning;
The wooing thrushes warbled DER
My story in the valleys,
While proudly, from her fathers door,
led my gentle Alice.
Ger fields believed in balmy shade,
Meath dusky, vine.hung maZes,
Down lanes where lilies, golden rayed,
Bent low to kiss the daisies,
We twain in blissful silence pass'd,
Till closed in leafy alleys,
All bright with flowers, we reached, at last,
The home I'd built for Alice.
My love had curling, nut-brown hair,
And eyes Of deepest azure,
And soft her voice as some sweet air
That moves in gentlest measure;
And, 0, such peace within her dwelt;
Such freedom from all malice;
It seemed Us if one should have knelt
Before my little Alice.
How pleasant were the tranquil daysl
All, mel no stormy weather
Gould darl1en much the love-lit ways,
If we but walked together;
And never noble lord, wis,
Or Prince within his palace,
Could know more pure ana perfect bliss
Than I with my sweet Alice.
But now, alas, dream alone;
True love can never perish,
But all the joys call my own
Are memories cherish;
The spring has wakened on the hills,
But 0. her soft breath dallies
With newly-opened dafodils
That bloom above my Alice.

CENTER OF GRAVITY.
An Instructive Article on an Interestin,
Scientific Suhiect.

Scientific Subject.
The center of gravity is that point
about which all parts of a body will
balance each other, no matter in what
position the body may be placed. If the
body be symmetrical with regard to
every axis, that is if every right hand
part has a left hand part exactly cor
responding to it. and every upper part
/ lower, and every front part CORE
spending back, then the center of
gravity will be at the center of bulk,
+, too, the body be of the same spe-
;ific gravity all the way through.
The existence of such center was
discovered by Archimedes. The fact
that the center of gravity of the earth
S practically its center of bulk, makes
Ill plumb lines point to about that
center; and all of them practically to
The same point. This being the case,
We bear in mind that no two plumb
ines are or can be parallel; and that
# there be very long and very high
building, and both of its two end walls
Ire "plumb," that building will be
.onger at the top than it is at the bot
;om. Take for instance the Main Gen.
5enpial building in Philadelphia, which
building was about 1880 feet long.
Suppose case very far from the fact,
that it had been 500 feet high, (Which
is not so high by IS feet as the Wash
ington monument) then, upon the sup
position that the earth is 1900 miles in
diameter, the top would have been 0.52
inches longer than the base.
This can be figured up in this way:
A diameter of 1912 miles gives radius
If 1886 miles, equals 20,SS7, $50 feet.
The top would be in length ,a0: ~
times the base; and with a base of 1900
teet that would make eo sosssss5 =
).52 inch, nearly. 1t is not very much
20 be sure. Yet it is there for all that.
Almost every one has heard the story
Of Columbus and the egg; but it is not
every one who calls to mind that there
are three ways of making an egg stand
upon either end. The way attributed
to Christopher Colombo, or Cristobal
Colon, or Christopher Columbus, mar
iner of Genoa, was to flatten the egg
trifle at one end, so as to offer resist
ance to it's tipping. That is not at all
neat way. A little gum arabic or 9TH
or cement would accomplish the same
result. The other and more scientific
way is to shake the egg violently until
the yelk case is broken, when the yelk
will settle down to whichever end you
wish. and, by its greater weight, lower
ing the center of gravity of the COM
pound mass, will keep the egg in stable
equilibrium.
A very pretty experiment not record
I'D in all the text books is that in which
a ball apparently rolls up hill by the
action of gravitation. Two long cones
are placed with their points together
and the bases near together; ball
placed upon them near their tips rolls
toward their bases, which is apparent
~ up hill, if viewed from the side; but,
viewed from the butt ends of the cones,
the ball is seen to be rolling down hill
The most difficult forms OF body to
overthrow are the pyramid and the
cone, the center of gravity having to be
raised so far before the body can be
pverthrown.-Cor. Mechanical News

A JapAnese Sister.

A Japs nese house is all back door; but the,
back door faces the street and Is separated
from it by only foul ditch which runs the
length Of every Japanese street ON both sides.
and into which all the refuse and slops of
every family find their way There is NO
sidewalk but the better houses have a little
plank bridge spanning the ditch in front
The whole side Of the house is open to the
street by day, 30 that, If Il baby chances TO lie
tied TO IL busy mothers back as she goes
about her work, 1t is virtually on the street
anyway. More often there is an older sister,
whose ulending duty it is to give the little
one such care as japanese babies get That
is, be is tied to her back by a strip Of cloeh
passing around his knees and back. Here
be hangs all day long, excepting when he is
removed to he fed. His little head falls back
or hobs helplessly from side to side as the
sister runs and plays or works.
In lieu Of a sister, a baby is occasionally
seen riding on boys back. The sun shines
in his unprotected face and on his bare head.
II he CT Is he is bounced up and down or
rocked from side to side BY the little nurse
Sometimss it looks as If one baby had Just
been unsirapped from Its mothers back and
had the ext one tied 10 its own before il had
gained ST 'ength enough TO support itself with
ease. Then both babies are TO be pitied
Think of your little or 5 year old girl with
baby from months to year old hung
10 her back-never free from her burden
for an hour at time, from early morning
until late at night japanese children are
not tucked away in their downy beds with
the setting Of the sun, but stay out with their
street companions until nature is exhausted
Then the babies are removed, and they creep
under their cover on the floor and sleep until
the daylight calls them out from their
dreary, I'll ventilated rooms to the street
again. -fabyh hood
