Red POttage.

This book. by Mary Cholmondeley. is the
story of the moment in England. and comes
to America with the prestige of success in
it's authors land. Whether ii deserves all
that has been said in its praise is a ques-
ton, bat at least 1t has the merit of orig
inality Its plot. if it may be said TO have
a plot, for ii is hung together rather
loosely, is Of the sensational order. but
contains two unusual incidents. The first,
and the incident on which the main events
turn is a drawing of lots by an injured
husband and the trespasser in his home
to decide which of the two shall commit
suicide on a given day. The erring wife
overhears the agreement in part, but does
not know which of the two men has drawn
the fatal short slip and has to wait in sus-
pense during the five months interval.
She confides her trouble TO the heroine OF
the tale, who, 1t chances, Is hersei. In
love with the married woman's former
admirer-he had transferred his directions
before the husband called him to account.
This heroine is represented as woman
with particularly high moral standard,
but it seems not to have occurred to her
for a moment to do what she could 10 pre-
vent the death either of her lover or his
enemy. Perhaps the fact that the infor-
nation came to her In confidence is held 10
be sufficient to restrain her from making
any use of Ii. At all events, the suicide Is
committed without either woman lifting
finger to prevent-a very unnatural and
improbable situation. Another incident
very we'll worked up is the burning OF
manuscript novel by narrow-minded
clergyman, a brother of the woman who
wrote it, because he did not think II
proper book for a sister of his to publish.
This clergyman and his wife are we'll
drawn characters and evidently taken from
life. 1t is a merciless portrayal, however,
and suggests a degree of personal feeling.
The author lacks humor in her treatment
of the vulgar second-class people with
whom, for the most part, the book deals.
She is witty at times. however, and the
book abounds in clever epigrams. What
ever may be it's faults. 1T is not a dull
much commonplace fiction. Published by
Harper e. Brothers, New York.

oANo-NEEDLE MACHINES.
One of the Many Varieties of Sewing
 Machines Made Nowadays

Machines Made Nowadays
 1t Is more or less familiar fact that sewing machines are used nowadays for sewing many different materials, as leather, paper, canvas, carpets, rub Der. They are used for making but tonholes and sewing on buttons. They are made of many types and in simply hundreds of varieties for special uses But 1t may not be known so common " that there are many sewing ma chimes now made with more than one needle. The first of these, a two needle machine, was made in the early eighties, about fifteen years ago. It was used by manufacturers of heavy clothing, perhaps first of all by the overall manufacturers, making seams stronger by putting in two rows of stitching. The utility and economy Of the two-needie machine soon became apparent and it came into widespread and diversified use. Whenever two rows of stitching were to be made, two-needle machine was used. A fa- mfifar illustration of the work is seen In the two parallel lines of stitching running with perfect exactness around the top of shoe vamp. Shirt sleeves are stitched into the body of the shirt on double needle machine, the two rows being made in the same time that It would take to make one. Collars and cuffs were stitched on two-needle machines, as were a great variety of these things, and later there were pro- ouced machines with more than two needles, the first of these coming into use within five or six years. There are now made sewing machines with az many as twelve needles. A twelve needle sewing machine simply has twelve needles where the ordinary sewing machine would have one In. stead of a single spool of thread on the top of the machine there appears there rack of twelve spools. There ara twelve tension disks. The thread from each spool runs through it's own ten sion disk to it's own needle. There are below twelve shuttles, one for each needle. When this machine is oper- ated, it makes twelve rows of stitch 'ng, just as an ordinary machine would make one. The twelve-needle machines are used chiefly in the manufacture of corsets.

 4 report on the precious stone indus try of the United States in the year 1898 has been issued by the Geological Survey. Some of its salient features are: The finding of rock crystal at Mokelumne Hill, Cal. of such purity and size as to almost rival the Japan ese, and the successful cutting of these in the United States up to over seven inches in diameter; the increased out put of the Fergus county, Mont, sap. phire mines and the yielding of fine blue gems up to two carats each, and the discovery of new locality where the stones are more varied in color than those of any known locality; the continued output of the new Mexican turquoise mines and the opening up of mines in Nevada, the finding of mag nifieent green and other eolored tour- malines at Paris Hill, Me, and Had. dam Neck, Conn; the increased sale of Australian opals; greater use of all the fancy or semi-preeious stones; the greater importation of uncut diamonds and the increase of the diamond cut ting industry in the United States; the unprecedented increase in the impor- tation Of cut diamonds and the revival of the precious stone industry in the United States. The value of all the precious stones found in the United States in 1898 was s1609 92O, as conn pared with $136,675 in 1887.

THIRSTY LoNpo ON.
The Quantity of Water Required e
 Supply the Big City.

Supply the Big City.
 In 1894 the astounding total of 192.- 000,000 gallons | day was reached by the combined water companies of Lon don. This was supplied to the 5.500,- 900 inhabitants at the rate of. say, thirty-two gallons head for all pur- poses. These figures represent an enormous volume of water, though small when compared with the mighty river that flowed into old Rome. We can only deal with the figures roughly. the supply fluctuated to a considerable degree at different times in the year, 1t is therefore not possible to be math- ematically accurate. Allowing for slight increase since the last return, and taking in other sources. to which 1 shall refer little later. we may pretty safely put the present London water supply at about 100000 900 gal Ions day. Let us try for moment to realize what these figures mean. With 200,000000 gallons of water we could fill lake a mile long, quarter of mile wide and five feet deep. The water in 1t would weigh nearly a mil- lion tons. This lake would stretch from the Bank of Church, yet 1t would be emptied in a single day to assuage the thirst of London. Or suppose we could freeze all this water, we could build up a great block of lee a thou sand feet long. thousand feet wide and thirty-two feet high. If we allow for the expansion of freezing the block would of course be still bigger. Sixty five of the largest irenclads in the British navy could float in the water we Use every day in London. When we come to compare our supply with the mighty torrent of Niagara we be- little 1t. The water goes laundering over the falls at the rate of 100000 tons a minute, or 420,000, 900 gallons. Our whole daily supply would be whirIed over long before the second hand Of watch would have traveled once around the dial. And could we divert the magnificent torrent for only three hours we could supply London with water for whole year at the present rate. Niagara Is big thing Good Words.

An Ancient Custom Observed.

The ancient custom of presenting a fitch of bacon to each of those mar. ried couples who could swear that 'in a twelvemonth and a day they had re- pented not in thought any way of their married state was observed, with all the old ceremonial, at the small village of Dunmow. in Essex, England. The ceremony was held inside a mar- quee erected in field. There were two couples for trial by the jury of six maidens and six bachelors. The jury returned verdict in favor of the claimants, who were accordingly awarded. amid cheers, a fitch of bacon, gaily decked with ribbons and rosettes. After the trial the couple were chaired and carried in processions, and the att tendant fuh and feasting were maln- taiped until late hour.
