downward from a point Just above the spindle.
nearly parallel with the bobbtn and rotating
around it, is a slightly curved bit Of wire, ter
minating below in loop, through which the
thread passes on its way to be wound. This
wire is known the traveller. In addition 70
whirling around the bobbin, it has slow up
and down motion, which causes the coils TO lie
in even layers from the one end 10 the other Of
the bobbin. like those on a spool of thread
The traveller is made to rise and fall by

moves The ring is Just below the traveller, and
although the groove is highly polished and freely

RELIEVED BY wOMAN's WIT,
Countess De Nuns Prevents Embar-
rassing Meeting Of fArchbishops
Ireland and Corrixan.

An embarrassing chance meeting of
Archbishop Ireland, Of St. Paul, and
Archbishop Corrigan, of New York,
at a dinner table a few nights ago at
Paris was prevented by an adroit
move of Countess De Nuns
Bishop Ireland had accepted an in
vtation to dine with Count De Nuns.
just before dinner Archbishop Corri-
gan unexpectedly entered TOT a social
call. Count De Nuns was decidedly
embarrassed, as he could not invite
Bishop Corrigan to dinner for fear OF
the well-known incompatioility of the
prelates- nor could he explain the rea-
son to the New York arch bishop
The countess came to the rescue,
and by mere significance of her look
gave the knowing archbishop to IN
derstand there was valid reason for
not inviting him to remain for dinner.
Bishop Corrigan soon departed with
polite compliments to the countess,
and a few minutes later Bishop Ire
land entered.

DESIGNS IN POSTAL CARDS.
The Latest Things Which People Are
Using to Send Messages Upon
to Foreign Countries.

New fancy postal cards that are be-
ing extensively used in sending mes
sages to foreign countries bear pic
lures of the national candidates of the
two great parties. One set of cards
has the pictures of Mckinley and
Roosevelt and the other those of Bry-
an and Stevenson. Underneath the
pictures are the words: "Hurrah for
our next president!'
The latest design for postal cards,
however, is the picture of the disas-
trous fire at Hoboken. One of the
steamers is seen burning at the dock,
and there are pictures of the little
tugs throwing water on the blazing
boats.
One noticeable feature is that of the
steamer Saale burning, and at the
bow is her commander, Capt. Mirow,
who perished in her. A tug is seen
throwing water on the steamer.
