toward it. He is very cool and deliber
ate about it on the start, but he is some
what surprised when the thread misses
the eye. He draws it back, takes steady
aim and tries again, his mouth puckered
into correct resemblance Of the letter
o as the interest deepens. The thread
touches the eye, all is favorable; it is
just going through-when the needle
slips in his fingers; the thread misses it,
Of course, and unravels several strards.
With a deep sigh he lays down the nee
die, twists the perverse thread together,
and again essays the task. He takes
careful aim with one eye shut, and the
thread approaches the needle in conf
dence. 1t misses; he draws it back
again, wondering what on earth ais the
the thing! About this time he discov-
ers that he has shut the wrong optic in
his own head, which makes all the differ
ence in the world with his aim; SO he
conluded to "go it" with both eyes
open. And he does. He rests the hand
containing the needle on the edge of the
table, and once more the thread is urged
forward. All is going we'll, this time:
he has firm grip on the needle; no slip
ping now. He trembles a little in ex-
pactation, and squints hopefully at the
thread. There! he just "has it," the
thread is in the "eye" With the first
tremulous symptoms of a satisfied smile
upon his face, he let's go Of the thread
and reaches over to catch it on the other
side of the "eye," and as he does SO, it
falls back and down to the floor, and his
hand still clutches needle as much I'M
threaded as everl For five long minutes
he sits there and gazes steadily at that
needle, his face adorned with the most
brilliant crimson; and then he gets up
and spits in the wood-box and sits down
again, his mind perfect chaos, and his
lips wondering "what in thunder makes
the room so warm" and needles have
such Internally small eyes" Oh! is
fun-if you are not threading the needle

Threading n Needle.

Did you ever see a man try to thread
a needle? A man whose fingers are like
fence-rails, and needle with the small
est possible "eye," barely visible with
out the aid of a microscope! Its real
fun, if he tries it by lamplight; that is,
its fun to watch him. He is single
man-perhaps an "old bach" The
more of "bach." he is, the more inter
esting the fun. 1t is by the light of
tallow-candle, and he says he isn't very
familiar with needles, but that button
must be sewed on his vest NOW. So he
takes up the coarse line of thread The al
WAYS has the coarsest in the market },
and needle-a small needle, the only
one he has. He bits off the end OF the
the thread and twists it carefully be-
tween his thumb and finger, just as ne
has seen his mother and sister do. Then
he gets the needle up between him and
the light, so that he can see the "eye,
and then he push es the thread carefully

American Mail Service.

Very few Americans will admit that
any OF the functions Of our government
are inferior to those of other countries,
vet we find that in that in which we
should lead the world we are not even
following the advance made by other
countries of less pretentions to intelli-
gence and progress; we refer to the
mail system which is disgrace to our
government as it is now conducted.
We handle more mail per capita than any
country in the world, and still we have a
worse system than even British India.
The whole mail system Of the United
States is wrong, and not adapted to our
stage of civilization, and the incoming
administration should lose no time in
making a thorough examination of all
mail systems, and devise one that will
be in keeping with our advancement
and an honor to our government. The
people expect this from the party OF
progress-the republican party-but if
we cannot have new system, let no
time be lost in improving the one we
now have.
Had President Cleveland and party
been less anxious to accumulate large
surplus in the national treasury in order
to demonstrate the fallacy p Of the re-
publican principle of protection, and had
expended the necessary funds to improve
the mail system and increase the facil-
tiles as the demand increased, instead Of
decreasing them as was done, We would
at least have been able to receive mail
as fast as the trains could carry it.
For partisan purposes and irrespective
of the needs of the people, the admins
tration decreased the number of post
Office employees, while the mail matter
increased at least so per cent. And this
is one reason why mail is two or three
times longer in transmission than il
should be. Another reason can be found
in the carelessness of postmasters and
postofice employees. We are entitled tc
better mail service, and we will get il
if the people demand it. By all means
demand il.

EDITORS, THIS IS UNIQUE.

A Chicago religious monthly, a new
institution, of course, announced its first
issue something after the following style:
This paper is published to fill long
felt want. We don't know who wants
it, but we know there is want and we
propose to ill it.
This paper will be independent in poll
tics, but we shall support the prohibition
candidates.
1t will be very independent in religion,
always advocating the Baptist faith.
1t proposes to make speciality of gos.
Sip, and if an inquiring mind desires to
read the most spiteful and imaginary
stories about everybody, it is hoped, for
his own sake, that he will consult our
columns before going elsewhere.
Hints and suggestions as to how this
paper should be managed are respectfully
solicited, as it will afford us pleasure to
adopt them all.
Changes will be made to suit every
one, his wife included.
We wish our readers to know that
criticism will be useless, as we shall
make no mistakes.
We design to make this monthly as
much like the great dailies published in
our cities as possible, and to prove the
correctness Of the general belief that,
while it requires tact and art to run a
hotel or a packing house, any one can
make and run newspaper.

There are several points where Mon
tana's future capital might be advan-
tageously located. Some months ago
The MINER referred to the advantages
possessed by Boulder for such a purpose.
The place is delightfully."- located, on level
ground, with good railroad and highway
facilities, all Of which will one day be
much better. Excellent stone building
material is near, land is still reasonably
and there are superb hot springs
near by where the exhausted Legislators
could occasionally repair for relaxation
and elutriation after being engulfed by
the dust from the arena of debate. Yes,
Boulder is one of the best east-side loca-
for the capital. The MINER, how.
ever, prefers to have the capital on the
west side.

The st. Paul "Giobe" says that some Of
the wool growers want an extra session
Of Congress in October in order to secure
an increase Of tariff on certain grades Of
foreign wool. They insist that this is
what they voted for last year and what
they need for a profitable industry. But
the manufacturers of wool say they are
nearly ruined now by the increased cost
Of the raw material over what their for
eign competitors have to pay. A great
portion Of the mills are shut down
already. and 1t is insisted that a continu-
anee Of the present policy will close out
the rest. Were 1t not for the cost Of raw
material, they could 60 into the markets
OF the world with their products. If the
mills are forced to close, where will the
grower find his marketp A tariff will
not keep up the price Of the product if
there Is small demand for it.
