The art of needle making was kept secret until about 1850, when 1t was revealed by Christopher Greening. In the little town of Reslditch. few miles from Birmingham. the needle makers still ply their trade for al the world. Twenty thousand peo- pie make over 100, 000. GOO needles a year. From the ugly pig of iron to the fRirylike ngSsile are manifold processes. but probably the drilling of the eye Is the most interesting cf all The experts can eslsily perforate a hair and thread it with it's own end. The steel wire Is cut into the length of bristle. and the needles are born as twins, heads together, feet farthesk apart.
 In the old days the ends were sharp ened at a cost of life that made this industry more deadly than war. The grinders asthma. by which strong mems lungs were inwarIily ground to pieces by inhaled particles of steel, slew tens of thousands of strong men.

One of the most prosperous indus tries in Paris is the sale and disposal of horsehesh for food. There are in the city of Paris is0 shops for the sale of horsefiesh. and in the course of the year more than s1, 900 horses. si mules and 275 donkeys have been killed and eaten by the Paxisians. The m ost singular point about this traffic is that the price of the flesh is equal to that of good beef-S0 cents pound. It is only fair, however. to add that two-thirds of this meat has been converted into sausages, SO that it is more than possible that the con- sumers arc ignorant of the source of their toothsome dish. It is now easy to understand how it is that good horses are so scarce in the Paris fiacres. At % cents a pound 6 fat horse would be worth more when he was dead than alive. Chicago News- Record.

 As a rule, the Spanish- American merchantmen were formidable aoat- ing castles. They might carry 1so of a crew, with a company or two of disciplined soldiers They mounted many guns of heavy metal. The '.musketeers" weis freely furnished with those heii m0athed trabucos which belched oiit bullets by the quarter bushel and were excessively disagreeable at close quarters, and they were clothed in cttirassas of huff. which would turn ball. The poop and the forecastie were solid forts. and the former was furnished with seinieirculai- gallerieA from which the defenders could fre with commanding precision.

 If we turn. on the other hand. to the light buccansering craft. itwouid seem there gas DO sort of equality. They were generally schooners or brigantines of small burden, with tan but tapering sparl carrying tre- mendosis weight of canvas. Their guns were necessarily few, though one or two were formidable. The men ct the most could not be numer- ous, although packed away above and below like herrings in a barrel
 Where they excelled was in sea- manship and dextercns maneuve-ing. In certain light winsis they had it an their own way. If their luck was good. the enenyis grInners would fire wide of the small and shifting mark. Their very audacity eften saved them from disaster, for at the closeet quar- tsrs tt was impossible to depress the guns SO as to do them serious damage. When they did board. there was no need to give the watchword-death or victory. They were lighting not only with ropes around their necAz, but with thumbscrews and hot grid irons in the moro remote prospective. That accounts for the animation they threw into the attack, but we confess we are still mvstifed by the triumphs that crowned their audacity, for even the buccaneers newer denied the Spanish pluck. and the Spaniards were likewise fighting for existence. -Blackwood's Magazine.
