Next to the sunsets and the daily de-
parture of the white fleet of sound
steamers, nothing that is seen from the
span of the Brooklyn bridge is better
worth seeing than the firing of the
evening gun at Castle William on Gov
ernor's island. The flash is of startling
brilliancy, and in calm weather it leaps
nearly 500 feet from the mouth of the
cannon. Even at that distance, how
ever, it can be seen that it is not sheet
of flame, but rocketlike' shower of fire
fakes-slow burning powder and wad-

Needles.

Originally all the needles used in Eu-
rope must have come from the east; and
it seems passing strange that no record
has been kept of the time at which these
useful little instruments were first man
ufactured there, but it must have been
at very early period. They were made
in Nuremberg in great quantities in the
Fourteenth century. Their manufac-
ture was introduced into England under
Queen Elizabeth, and fiourished to such
an extent that the worklnen soon con-
stituted a guild, for we read in 1897 the
Primers and the Needlers" petitioned
the queen not to allow foreign pins and
needles to be imported. Woman's Work.

He had scraped together 800 and had
it on deposit in local bank. Wanting
to use the money he one day asked the
president of the bank for it, He told
Plumb to sign check.
The young man looked up and said.
"Eh:" Make out a check for the
amount and sign it," remarked the
banker. No, stree" said the states
man in embryo; mo, stree, | don't put

it was the customary thing to make

The hats! the hats! What marvels of
colorings, what conglomerations of field
and loom products, yet withal what
chic, dainty affairs are the spring head
coverings. A pretty brown straw, with
a golden tint running through the open
work meshes, was a sort of modification
of the old time sailor in shape. Three
with brown tips stood up smartly on
one side, while a group of three little
rosettes in pale yellow, green and hello
trOpe satin ribbon nestled in their shad-
ow. A narrow band of the golden brown
ribbon ran around the tiny crown to
where in the back another group of
rosettes and bunch of violets gave the
finishing touch to the little turned up
brim. Long brown satin streamers
about an inch and half in width
reached just to the waist line, and a
loose bunch of violets nestled against the
hair under the straight bTim in front.
Another more dressy affair was in
white and gold. The crown of the hat
was entirely of white passementerie,
richly decorated with gold thread. The
/ brim WAS Of fine white chip faring and
plated into most becoming folds. Over
this was a white lace netting embroid-
cred in gold. Wide white satin ribbon
with a broad gilt edge was made into
a butterfly bow that stood up at the
back, with ends spreading out over the
crown. Odd shaped gilt openwork pins
gave stylish effect by being stuck here
and there in the crown and through the
ribbon.
A quiet black lace hat, becoming to
almost every face, had a little jet crown;
by this we mean a genuine little coronet
inclosing an open space through which
the hair can be plainly seen. Black net
pulled ON over the wire frame consti-
tuted the body of the hat, and pretty
full ruching of jet outlined the edge.
Very fine lace gathered and wired so as
to stand pretty erect on the left side
near the front, and bunch of very fine
velvet pansies completed the trimming.
The ties were of black velvet, and the
invariable small rosette of black satin
at the back completed the quietest, but
| most elegant, of these three Paris novel
ties.-Philadelphia Times.

found to ripen until frost. Currents
and gooseberIies came along with black
berries and continued about four weeks
Grapes began to ripen in August and
continued till frost, and are with us vet,
preserved by careful packing. Thus the
small fruits which can be raised over all
the northern part of the United States
may be on the table seven months out of
the twelve.
We have found the small fruits no
more difficult to raise than potatoes.
The exception is the strawberry-the
only secret we have discovered in its
culture is to keep weeds down and give
the plants a chance. We have just been
using some canned gooseberries, and
while eating them some one remarked,
''They are nearly as good as cranber-
ries." We have given them a careful
examination, and come to the conclusion
that this fruit might very largely be
used where the cranberry cannot be
afforded. They have the sprightly acid
qualities of the cranberry, SO valuable
to. health during the winter months.
The gooseberry is SO easily raised, and
equally easy to preserve, that its growth
should receive much more attention.

Cruelty to Children.

How appalling and horrible are the
tales of the cruel treatment of children
by women which almost every week
bringsto the light of day! Words can
express thought to its height or its depth,
but under the emotions of fierce indig-
nation and shuddering horror aroused
by abominable outrages on the helpless
feebleness of infancy words fail to af-
ford expression, and one longs for the
dumb vent of the pillory or the crude
eloquence of tar and feathers. Think
of what a little child of three years is:
think of its timidity, of its pliability to
the guiding mind, of its affectionate-
ness, of its ignorance, of its absolute de-
pendence and incapability of self de-

River bar washing is generally per.
formed by women alone. February is
the driest month of the year, and dur.
ing it the rivers are very low, and
beaches and bars are then exposed
which during the rest of the year are
covered by two to four feet of water,
with current of five feet per second.
When a good paying bar is found the
news travels quickly, and women come
from miles around to work it. The only
tools used are the batea for washing,
cachos for gathering and almocafre for
loosening the gravel. The scene pre-
scented is oftentimes very animated. Ba.
bies are placed in baskets under the
shade of some gigantic pichinde. The
older children play about the beach, and
even assist in the washing. The women
too old to work tend the fire and roast
plantains for the MONDAY meal. The
dress of all is extremely simple, being
nothing more than two yards of coarse
wooden cloth tied around the waist. 1t
is a yard wide, and consequently while
touching the ground when worn by a
short woman it comes but little below
the knees when worn by tall one.
Some of the women tie gaudy hand
kerchief about the neck, leaving it fall
over the bosom; others are naked above
the waist.
The work is begun by removing the
large stones on top; or rather the women
facing up stream throw the stones in
front and on each side, forming three
sides of rectangle (burro). Then the
finer gravel and sand is loosened with
the almocafre, and, dipping in their
bateas, they fill them from il front by
the aid of the cachos. When full the
batea is washed over the burro, the re-
sulting metal being put in gourd, kept
for the purpose, called mate.
The women frequently work when the
water is so deep that it is necessary to
dive, and then a flat stone weighing
from four to eight pounds is tied to the
small of the back by creepers called be-
jucos, or guasca. The work is carried
ON in very desultory manner. the
women frequently stopping to smoke
and gossip or to nurse their babies, so
that although the day is spent at the
place it is seldom that more than three
hours work is done, during which time
thirty-five to forty-fve bateas of gravel
are washed.-Engineering and Mining
