 mon sewing needles about the house . hold little realize that these articles have been in use since the fourteenth cen tury. but such is a fact The material used in the manufacture of a needle con sists of fine steel wire. which is supplied in coils. The coils are then cut with powerful shears into lengths sufficient for two needles. Several thousand of these lengths are placed together in bundles and heated to a red heat. They are then quickly straightened by a pressure ana rolling process.
 The use of the revolving grindstone makes the needles pointed at both ends and one grinder will point as many as a hundred thousand Of the steel wires each day Then comes the eyeing of the needles, and it is remembered that each wire is the length of two needles. At the center of each length of wire is stamped the grooved and rounded impress sion of two needle heads. end to end, and then perforated with steel punches. This is done with ons hundred needles at a time.
 The needles are then heid rigid and brok- en in the center between the eyeholes They are hardened and tempered by being made red bot and plunged into an oil bath They are relocated again and al lowed to cool gradually. After this they are secured and polished by friction. with soft soap. oil and emery powder. Wash ing, drying and more polishing follows. After all this work to make the needle they are sold at an average price of six for one cent, or about four cents per paper.

n FEE aboard a submarine boat Is not
 nearly so dangerous and hsir-raising 11 as some people suspect. The crew consists of two officers and usually IA men, the latter being selected after very rigid physical examination The service on a submarine rarely extends over two years and the real work on the boat is limited to about three weeks In the summer and one week in the winter.
 In the meantime the sailors from the submarine live aboard the other boats or ashore. although the submarine IS put through her tests once each week The air in a submarine seems to De close and heavy by a person on first en- trance. but the men soon become aecus toned to the heat. The standing room space Is about six and a half feet and at each end the boat tapers to a point like a cigar.
 The cooking is done on an electrical oven and no foods having a strong or disagreeable smell are used. Smoking Is allowed only when the boat Is on the surface, and then on the bridge of the boat. The boats very rarely so deeper than 30 feet into the water, and at this depth the speed. attained Is eight knots

FOUR O'CLOCK COFFEE.
More Folks Downtown Go in for What
 Used to Be Way of Foreigners.

When he first got back from a trip abroad, the young man felt strongly the need of his afternoon coffee and cake when o'clock came around. This was not only custom but a bit of medical advice. because the doctor at Carlsbad had told hsIn that Americans didn't eat enough and that was req son why the" were so nervous.
 The young man expected when he went into one of the small lunch places downtown that his request for the coffee and cake might be looked upon as something odd. as typically for eign. It was to his surprise. then that he found that he was not by any means the only person in the lunch place who was there with such an Ob- ject
 There was a fair crowd. each man taking his coffee and cake. Some of the men appeared to be clerks and others were lust office boys So the young man spoke to one of the men behind the counter.
 "Oh. yes" replied he. there Is al ways good crowd in here at this hour I think you will find the same thing in other food places. People seem to come in here just naturally for that ridafternoon food and with these fel lows it isn't case of deferred either They do 1t because they are hungry and they don't want too much. The habit has come mp very strongly in the last few years"

We Get a Letter From an Old Friend Which Makes
 Us Feel Good. /

Alba. Tex.-'I was born in Tennes- see" writes Mrs Mary F. Watson. from Alba, Tex. and l can praise Cardui. for we have used it ever since 1881. twenty eight years ago. l wish knew how man- dollars have spent for it.
 My daughter in-law is now taking it, and all my neighbors think it Is fine"
 Cardui may be taken year after year. at times when its benefit is needed. and as general tonic. without any bad after-effects whatever.
 Many drugs. like quinine. acetanilide. iodide of potassium, etc, cannot be so taken, without doing you more harm than they do you good.
 Be careful what you put into your stomach. as lasting injury frequently results from the regular use of power ful drugs and medicines.
 Cardui cannot possibly do you any thing but good. as it is a mild. gentle tonic. of purely vegetable ingredients, non- mineral, non intoxicating, non poisonous-harmless to young and old
 Thousands of ladies have testified tO the beneficial results that come from the use of Cardui. the woman's tonic.
 It strengthens. builds. restores. and relieves or prevents unnecessary pain and suffering
 We urge you to try it.

n NE OF the best cures for insomnia
 Is as follows: Fill A hot water bottle " and place 1t under the ankles; 1t works better there than at the soles of the feet. Put rather small amount of cold water fin another bottle and place this on the head. The cold water gives more comfort than ice. which Is exciting rather than soothing. The water should be changed if the patient awakens so as to preserve the two desired temperatures.

 Fuller Bill Up.
 The monster Fuller bill, providing for
 enforcement of the prohibition laws, con taining 12,0Oo wards, was called at Il: :3O a. n
 Amendments were offered by MT. Fuller to prevent use of the word saloon" by any business house; to prevent display of pictures of liquor products; to prevent storage in cars on side tracks. 1 A motion by MT. Hoffman to indefinitely | postpone was lost. 1 With regard to the provision against
 liquors being advertised in newspapers or
 otherwise, MT. Fuller contended that such ] advertising is a solicitation out of line l with the spirit of the act. He contended | that the bill does not seek to punish l newspapers, but to prevent violation of
 the spirit of good morals. Mr. Hoffman wanted to know if the | gentlemen would prohibit publication of l the story of the Thaw trial. 1 The amendments of Mr. Fuller were all I adopted, 56 to 16
 i MT. Sanford wanted newspaper adver- 1 Using exempted, believing it to be uncon- 1 stitutional to say that newspapers cannot | carry advertisements of out of the state 1 liquor houses
 MT. Jenkins also thought the section 1 illegal
 MT. John, in his well known, vigorous l style, opposed the amendment and thought | the legality of it assured, 1t being, as he 1 saw 1t, solicitation. MT. Pitts favored the amendment and
 said it would be an injustice to Alabama | papers.
 MT. Jenkins roasted the majority with
 vengeance.
 1 MT, Black called on all who had been 1 elected as prohibitonists to stand up. | When they began to rise the speaker de-
 clared the whole thing out of order | MT. Thompson of Macon presented a l bill to prevent sale of coca-cola or drinks
 containing caffeine.
 The Sanford amendment was defeated by the narrow margin of 3s to 36 ! by vote of 45 to 31.
