night; and that. il he could help il,
they should never be sent away To "a

words to that effect
THAT settles it,. said a deep, quiet
voice from behind the sitting-room
door, and both brothers stepped into
the parlor, armed, booted and spurred,
but smiling exceedingly ''childlike and
bland two handsome and good
natured looking raiders as could be
found between the Potomac and the
James.
For once in his life the sergeant felt
as il his chevrons indicated as much, If
not more, than all the military rank he
possessed. He declared himself as hav-
ing always been in favor of that factor
which IN due time is not only to be the
salvation of individuals but OF nations
as well, namely, arbitration. The big
brothers did arbitrate. and to such an
extent that four handed game of
euchre, a social lunch, and the firing of
jokes instead of pistols was the conse-
quence for the evening.
Months afterward the Seventh Ohio
met Morgan in battle at Cynthiana and
captured many of his command driv-
ing the raiders, including the chief,
into and across the river. Among the
captared were the two brothers, and
though the sergeant done what he could
10 prevent it, both of them were sent
away with the rest of the prisoners to
Camp Chase, Ohio. Another unro-
mantle truth which we are obliged to
record. and which is out of the usual
vein of story-writing is that the sister
never became the sergeant's wife.

VARIETY IN NEEDLES.

Something About Those Used by Mechanics
of Every Description.
A needle is a little thing, has1ly
worth mentioning, in fact, but the daily
consumption of them in the United
States is 100000, About one-sixth of
these are made in Brooklyn, but the
greater part of the needles we use come
from Redditch, England.
There are needles which all wig
hair and shaped like a fish hook. There
is a tambour needle and the needle for
shirring machines; the great sail needle,
which has to be pushed with steel
palm the knitting machine needle with
its little latchet; the arasene and crewel
needle, and the long instrument which
the milliners use.
Then there is the surgeons cruel
outfit, the probing needle, made for
hunting after bullets or internal sores;
the post-mortem needles, of various
curves and sizes; the hair-lip needle;
the long accupressure pins, for pinning
gaping wounds in place; all the needles
for eye, head and body, long, short
curved once twice or three times. Then
the veterinary surgeon has his case of
needles, too. The upholsterer is a favored
man. He has needles on half curve and
on the quarter curve round points
and sword points, long eyes, round eyes,
egg eyes and counter-sunk eyes. The
cook is not left out Of this trade, but has
a curious trusting needle made for car
rying melted butter or savory sauce
right into the very heart of a fowl or
roast, being hollow and large at the end
where the butter is poured in. There is
also the larding needle, which seNs

One of these was invented by French
chef The other was made to meet the
demands of butchers who cook large
quantities of meat for the free-lunch
restaurants, and who wish to sew their
meat into good shape, so that it will cut
we'll. The collar-makers needle is not
unlike the upholsterer's The netting

Stock Yards The broom makers needle,
like the sailors. has TO be pushed with
a steel palm. That which the millers
use has a spring eye which the heavy
thread enters when the side Of the eye
is pressed.
A novice could never guess how to use
the needle made for sewing SOloS on
shoes. The glove needles are marvel
ously fine affairs, though even the daint-
lest of them have thrcc-cornered points.
The knitting or astrachan needle wants
