Evolution OF the Needle.

Sewing needles of bone, stone, glass
and bronze antedate all historic rec
ords, but those of iron, brass and steel
are comparatively modern. Bone and
glass needles have been found in Egyp-
tan tombs that are known to be over
1000 years old, and similar domestic
instruments Of bronze and copper have
been found in the mounds and burial
caves Of Europe and America which
are believed to be much older than
those found with the Nile mummies.
The needle first appeared in its present
form in European countries in the
year 141O but the art of making them
was kept a secret for upward Of $50
years after the date last given. In the
year 1850 they were first made in the
American colonies, but at what point
is a mooted question among the histo-
rianS.

knowledging tie gift. he said he would
wait in the vestry five minutes after
service to hear any directors to the in

old lady, who, on being asked what
her objections We're. answered that she
had read the epistles of st. Paul and
could not find any reference to the
apostle wearing a gown. What ep;s-
tie did you read?" asked the doctor.
From Romans to Hebrews" answer
ed the old lady. "Well, Janet" said
her minister, Il have read from Ro-
mans to Hebrew also. and l could
never find any reference to the apostle
wearing the breeks. What would you
think if you saw me going into the
pulpit without breeks?" Needless to
say, the old lady departed satisfied
with the explanation.

One of BalZac's wild schemes was

morning in September, 1S39-an early
day to talk Of monopoly-ten literary

plays to every theater in Paris. The
ten guests We're to supply them. He
estimated the profits of the first year at

thought. bring in more money He ex-
pounded his scheme at length for over
an hour, and finally one of the guests
suggested that he might go on at ia

Walt Whitman.

OF the days when Walt Whitman
was a nurse in the hospitals of the civil
war a biographer Of the poet says: "He
would often come into the wards car
rying wild flowers newly picked and
strewing them over the beds like a
herald of the summer. Well did he
know that they were messengers of life
to the sick, words to them from the
earth-mother of men. And then as he
left of a night after going his last
round and kissing many Il young, pale,
bearded face in fulfillment of his own
written iniunctions he would hear the
boys calling: Walt, Walt, Walt. Come
again, come again."

$4,000 IS AMOUNT WANTED

Chicago, H., Feb. 21.-The fruits
Of Overseer Voliva's dramatic appeal
to the people of Zion City continued
to pour into the administration build
ing yesterday, and gifts of land; cat
tie, and personal property of differ
ent kinds were made steadily
through the day. The offerings now
aggregate almost $4,000, which
Overseer Voliva asked for. 1t is
thought that the giving will continue
today and there is little doubt that
the full amount will have been raised
before tonight.
Deeds to four vacant lots worth
from $500 to $1,000 were made out at
the administration building and the
day brought numerous letters from
Chicago Zionists containing checks
and drafts. Crowds stood about the
administration building during the
day and watched each donor as he
brought his offering.
An old man, leaning on a stick and
limping, walked up the approach to
the building, leading a heifer, his on
ly possession, and tied the animal to
a tree. A little girl brought a
handful Of pennies.
Overseer Voliva called a meet
| ing of the twelve members of the
| bushes council in the administration
building in the morning. He urgeC
the adoption of liberal business pol
icy, encouraging the establishment OF
industris1 without outside capital.
A meeting of the forty Chicago of
ficers of Zion was held in the after
noon at the Zion tabernacle, Six
teenth street and Michigan avenue
and Overseer Voliva made a simila
address there. Large offers of fnan
cial aid for the city also were mad
atthis meeting.

ANOTHER FAKE NEWSPAPER STORY
No Truth In Report That Artesian
Well On BIaIock Ranch Was
Affected.

"There was no truth whatever In
the published reports of the Evening
Rulletin that the San Francisco earth
onake had affected the flow OF the ar
tesian well on the Blalock ranch,
Herbert Macarthur, manager or the
R,a,ock interests, declared this
morning. Il am surprised that such
stories are published when there is
not the least foundation of truth In
tbam There is no question that
manv people were badly frightened by
the canard. Many rang me up at the
ranch anxiously inquiring as TO the
truth of the story. They were great
iv disguised when informed tnat IL
voc newspaper fake and did not
hesitate to say so. The well was not
. effected in the least and has mann
tanned it's normal flow all through the
seismic disturbances.
Fruit Prospects Fine.

morning that the damage 10 carry

stirred up considerable excitement
among farmers of the Dixie district
and the final report of the expert is
being eagerly awaited
"Of course it is impossible to say
whether oil and gas exist in the Dixie
district in sufficient quantities to be
commercially valuable until 1 have
been over the ground and made an ex-
haustive investigation Mr.. Aughey
said this morning. From reports that
l have at hand I would not be sur
prised if both oil and gas exist in
that section but to what extent it is
impossible to say and may not be
ascertained until test wells have been
sunk. If oil fields should be opened
