screw MACHINE.

c. NJ. Spencer, of Windsor, Conn,
the inventor of the original screw
machine and the Spencer repeating
shotgun, has been at it again. This
time he has made a device that turns
out eight screws a minute, with slots
and threads cut all ready for packing.
One popularity of the machine is
that it requires little or no attention.
After the apparatus is started it will
go on making screws until the mate
rial gives out. Sometimes Mr.. Spen-
Ger starts it up and goes to Hartford.
He stays all day, and upon his return
at night the machine is still grinding
out screws.

No Respect for Mu.ty rraaltlon..

"A Renaissance comes to my mind"
writes Justin McCarty in a volume
of "Recollections of Parliament,p
about American visitors to the House
of Commons. The American girl
has no respect for musty traditions.
Some years ago we used to be per-
mitted to take ladies into the library,
but the rule was strict that they
must not be allowed to sit down
there. l was once cscorting a young
American married I'M through
the various rooms of the library. and
l mentioned to her, as a matter of
more or less interesting fact, that it
was against the rules for a woman to
sit down there.
"'Is that really a law of the placc?:"
she asked with wide opened and in.
nocent eyes.
"'Thc very law l answered. !
"'Then,' said she calmly, just SEQ

and resolutely sat down at the table,

Johnny's Aurora.

We had one of them out back OF

Love for Flowers.

An eager craving for flowers, no
matter how simple, is universal
among poor city children. 1t is
gratifying to learn that many ladies
who live in the suburbs of Boston,
Says a paper of that city, and men,
too. regularly bring flowers to dis
tribute among the street children.
Many poor boys and girls make
long journeys to the outskirts to get
daisies and b%uttercups.
Only yesterday 1 saw a group Of
poor children ranging one of the
vacant lots or Back Bay, gathering
merely the little branches of the
scattering plants and shrubs that
spring up there, and, apparently,
taking sa much delight in them as il
they were brilliant bouquets. II, in

Three little girls from a tenement
house, whom / once led to a garden
where they might pluck as many
flowers as they chose, prattled on for
at least an hour, when they had got
over being %specchless with delight,
about nothing at all but the flowers
they had rescued from the withered
bouquets that a certain lady threw
out of her window.
"Just think Of 1t, mister" one of
the girls said, .she chucks them right
out into the ash heap when they're a
little wilted! / don't see how she
can do it, but I'm glad she does, and

One poor man was in greater trou-

his home and cows were gone, but Sc
also was his son, a bright boy of 6 or
I years. He wept, and refused to
hear any words of comfort. He spent
the night wandering sorrowfully
among the ruins, while his acauaint-
anccs had taken refuge in the neigh
boring villages.
just as daylight came, however, he
heard a well-known sound, and look
ing up he saw his favorite COW lead
ing the herd, and coming directly
after them was his bright-eyed little
son.
"Oh, my son. my SON." he cried,

Pretty Thin.

Little Roland O., an orphan
who had been accustomed during the
life Of his parents to generous nurture
and even to indulgence, went after
their death to live with an uncle
who belieted in severe treatment of
children. The boy was put at once
upon a plain diet of oatmeal, bread
and buttei, a little meat and a care
fully regulated allowance of fruit.
This the poor boy regarded as next
door to starvation, and he ate so
little that it was remarked in his
presence that he was growing thin.
One day his uncle took him out to
walk in the suburb wheEe he lived.
While they were walking they met
a friend Of the uncle's, who was ac-
companicd by a large greyhound.
The boy had never seen a dog of
this sort before and was greatly as
tonished by its extraordinary thin
ness. He looked very sympathetically
at the animal.
"Ah," said the dogs owner to Ro-
land, you think he's pretty thin.
don't you?"
Yes" said the boy; "does he live
with his uncle?:"
Roland's allowance Of meat was
considerably increased after this in
cident, and now and then he was
even allowed a bit of pastry
