THE EYE OF THE NEEDLE.
A Strange Story of How 1t Came to BE
Placed In the Point.

Elias Howe almost beggared himself be-
fore he discovered where the eye of the
needle of sewing machine should be To-
Gated 1t is probable that there are very
few persons who know how it came about.
His original idea was to follow the model
of the ordinary needle and have the eye at
the heel. 1t never occurred to him that it
should be placed near the point, and he
might have failed altogether if he had not
dreamed he was building sewing ma
chine for savage king in strange coun-
try. Just rs in his actual waking expert
enco he was rather perplexed about the
needles eye. He thought the king gave
him "a hours to complete the machine and
make it sew. Itnot finished in that time,
death was to be the punishment.
Howe worked and worked and puzzled
and puzzled and finally gave it up. Then
he thought he was taken out to be execut-
ed. He noticed that the warriors carried
spears that were pierced near the head.
Instantly came the solution of the diff
Guilty and while the inventor was begging
for time he awoke. 1t was O'Clock in the
morning. He jumped out of bed, ran to
his workshop, and by 8 a needle with an
eye at the point had been rudely modelled.
After that it was easy. This is the true
story Of an important incident in the in
vention of the sewing machine.-Phila-
delphia Press.

At 80 A. M, yesterday, the fire alarm
was sounded from box 81 in Stapleton
and commotion was soon the order on
Water street. Everybody ran to the fire.
When the scene was reached II proved to
be blaze in the heap of rubbish In the
gully, evidently catching from sparks in
the ashes thrown out there, as it has be-
tore. The fire department was soon on
the spot and a long line of hose laid. The
"all out" was soon rung but the hosemen
continued to play" on the sulky fire I'M
til every smouldering bit was extiu-
gushed. 1t has before caught in this
same place, but no serious damage has
over been the result Engineer Rlcker
said that some other place should be selec-
ted to dump paper, and if not some day
big fire would be the result

A Tennyson Story.

OF Tcnnyson Mr. Smalley has quite a
shcaf of stories, all illustrative of his per.
sonality. Here is one: When occasion of
fered, he took an odd revenge on those who
presumed to judge him. A writer of the
critical kind once assured him that he
could always tell what lines wrote them
selves from pure inspiration and what
Others had been laborcd. In response to
Tcnnyson's invitation he quoted famous
verso as an instance of poetic spontaneity.
" All, yes, drawled the poet, 81 smoked o
dozen pipes over that line"

John Ruskin said that in matters Of
criticism one should never come to partic-
ulars, for authors are apt to come down
upon you with authorities there being
an authority for almost every abSurdity
that can be committed, either in literary
or practical matters. In letter to col
lege friend Ruskin writes:
The object in all art is not to inform,
but to suggest; not to add TO the knorl-
edge, but to kindle the Imagination. He is
the best poet who can by the fewest words
touch the greatest number of secret chords
of thought in his readers own mind and
set them to work in their own way.
To put plain text into rhyme and meter
is easy; not so to write passage which
every time it is remembered shall suggest
new train of thought, a new subject OF
delightful dream. 1t is this mystic secrecy
of beauty which is the seal of the highest
art, which only opens itself to close OBJ
seryation and long study.

and harness and other valuable articles,
and the crowd stayed until very late to
learn who the lucky ones were. The buggy

made an engagement with him to take the
first ride in the vehicle.
