TIE NEEDLE.
Curious Facts About Most Common as
Well a Verv Useful Article.

AS d Ildl Ter OF IdcU, Une ART OF needle
making was kept secret until about
1850, when it was revealed by Christie
pher Greening. In the little town of
Redditch few miles from Birming-
ham, the needle-mal1ers still ply their
trade tor all the world. Twenty thou
sand people make over a hundred mill
ions of needles year. From the ugly
pig of iron to the fairy-like needle are
manifold processes, but probably the
drilling Of the eye is the most interest
ing Of all. The experts can easily
perfOrate 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
furthest apart. In the old days the
ends were sharpened at a cost of life
that made this industry more deadly
than war. The grinders asthma by
which strong mems lungs were in
wardly ground to pieces by inhaled par
ticles of steel, slew tens of thousands of
strong men. Now, blast of air away
from the grindstone makes a grinders
life frSt-class risk for insurance COM
panies. Tempering, annealing and pol
ishing are all worth seeing in the
process.
So easily and cheaply can English
needles be made and exported that on
our American tariff needles stand on
the free list. We have no hand-needle
industry to be protected We still de-
pend on John Bull and the gentleman
who wears the spiked helmet.
But do not our Yankees, who invent,
who harness the rivers, the lightning,
and the child of welded fire and water
to do their work, make any needles?
Yes; for it was the Yankee who made
the needle turn a somersault All the
world since the first fg-Ieaf sewers
threaded the needle in one fashion. 1t
was the Yankee who discovered that it
was threaded at the wrong end. He
declared the business end of needle to
be- like Ethat of a bee, farthest from it's
head. Either Elias Howe, or the other
man, who did not win the lawsuit, was
the first man who, like the hero in
Greek mythology, held the ''eye" in
his hands, and put it where he
would. He drilled the needle
and inserted the thread at the
other end, and set it in arms
of steel, multiplying it's potency. AS
Americans gave the world the sewing
machine and a new kind of needle, so
they manufacture this sort and this
only. At Springfield, Mass, the
National Needle Co. make and fin
ish every year thirty million machine
needles. Prussia, the great War Pow
er, put spike on her helm and nee
die in her gun, and with the latter
humbled Austria. The United States,
which, as President Arthur declared, is
the great Pacific power, put her needle
in frame and treadle to tighten toll and
clothe the naked. Probably there is
true parable here.
LAS naked as needle is an old
proverb, yet though nude and limbless,
the needle has features and anatomy.
Yet all the world does not see eye to
eye, as their terms and description
show. Missionaries who translate
the Gospel, in which a camel and
