CURIOUS NEEDLES IN EUROPE
One Made from a Hair and Another
is Covered with Beautiful
Enuravinq

Many years back the then king OF
Prussia visited needle mandatory
in his kingdom. He was shown a mum
Der of superfine needles, thousands of
which together did not weigh half an
ounce, and marveled how such minute
objects could be pierced with an eye
But he was shown something even
finer The workman whose business
it was to bore the eye in the needles
asked for a hair from the monarch s
head 1t was readily given, and with
a smile the borer placed it under his
machine and made an eye in it, This
be furnished with a thread, and then
handed the singular needle to the as
toniShed king.
Another most curious needle was
in the possession of Queen Victoria. 1t
was made at the celebrated needle
mandatory at Reeditch, and repre-
sents the column OF Trajan in mini.
ature This weIi-known Roman column
is adorned with numerous scenes in
sculpture which immortalize Trajan' s
heroic actions in war, and on this
diminutive needle, which was present
ed to the queen on her visit to the
famous mandatory in December.
1864, scenes in her life are presented
in relief, but so small that it requires
a powerful magnifying glass to see
them clearly.
The Victoria" needle can, more
over, be opened, and contains mum
Der of needles of smaller size, which
are also adorned with scenes in re-
lief

He Did Not Like the Tune.

A poor foreign musician was dog
gedly wrestling with his trombone
outside village inn He knew that
"The Last Chord" was somewhere
in that instrument, but the latter
seemed loath to part with it. AT
length the landlord appeared at the
door. The poor musician bowed ard.

The innkeeper smiled also, and
kindly

A TASTE OF THE REAL THING
New York Gentleman Farmer" Has
Much Fun with Visitors from
the City.

A weIl-known New York man who
is developing a superb estate in the
Catskills loves to wear his city
friends out of bit when they go up
to spend week-ends with him, espe-
cially if they verge at all toward the
genus dude One of the chief delights
is to meet them at the station dressed
as a farmer of the most backwoods
type, soiled jeans, no coat, and really
more impossible than and genuine
farmer would dare to be-
When the train pulls up at his sta
ton he is waiting on the platform TOR
his guests, looking as serious as can
be imagined. and their expression is a
feast for his humorous soul. After he
has enjoyed this to the fullest, he
takes them around to the other side OF
the station and there is his ox-cart,
waiting to take them four miles up
into the mountains. OF course it trav-
els at a snails race. and gives the
victim of this practical jester the
iolting of their lives Also it provides
them with a most pronounced con-
trast to their customary motor meth
cd of travelling.
For heavens sake, Frank, expostu-
lated a weary youth, as they bounced
up the hills, lis this really the way
you have to get your friends to your
home? Haven't you any other turn
out than this?"
"Oh, certainly. have" ex-
planned the host blandIy, bat
thought you'd enjoy a little of the

Their Names AnqIicized.

Sis William Drinkwater died recent
ly on the Isle of Man. He was de-
scended from Huguenot family
named Boileau, which sought refuge
in England after the revocation of the
edict of Nantes. Many of those ref
ugees translated their names into Eng
lish, sometimes with slight altera-
ton of their sense, and thus Boleau
became Drinkwater; Delamere, By
the-sea; Duleu, Waters; Jolifemme,
Prettyman; Lacroix, Cross, LIE Blanc,
White; LIE Fevre. Smith or Faber;
Savage, Savage or Wild; Leroy,
King. and Loiseau, Bird Other names
in course of time lost all trace of their
French origin. De Moulins, DOrleans
and De Preux were changed to Null
Inns, Dorling and Diprose, and Beaufcy
was corrupted to Boffy.

THE REAL OR TIE SIMULATED
Popular Actor Discusses Question
as to Whether Real Tears Sa3u'd
Be Shed on the Stage.

In T. P.'s Weekly, London appears
the first article on ''The Actors Cate
chism," by Robb Lawson To the
question:
do real tears come into your eyes
when acting a scene Of pathos or
tragedy, or are they merely slmu-
lated? Some actors claim that real
tears do come, but might not this
lessen self-control?'
Arthur Bourchier sent the follow
ing interesting reply:
With regard to the question you
raise, my humble opinion Is that the
actor should feel the emotions he Is
endeavoring to portray; but that he
should always be master of those en-
otionS if he is to create the e1fect
aimed at upon the senses or MS audi
ence. Unless this is so, scene OF
great emotion, for instance, may be,
to the actor, complete abandonment,
will appear to the audience the rid
iculous rather than the sublime.
"The curious difference in temper
ament of nations was brought home
to me some years ago while witness
ing a very fine performance OF Sar-
dou's old play Fernando" at DAYS
theater in New York. in the last act
the young Italian husband suddenly
finds that he has been trapped into
marrying a young girl of no parent
age whatever-in fact, illegitimate-
his rage and grief knew no hounds,
yet with it all he loves the girl. The
actor wept, and the audience laughed!
| presume the fact of man shedding
tears was looked upon as luclcrous by
the Anglo American audience which
filled the theater"

 AT THE TERRITORIAL FAIR
4 Troop of the Eighth Cavalry Will
 Be camped on the Grounds.

One of the features of the territorial fair will be a troop of the Eighth cavalry, stationed at Fort Huachuca. The troop will be sent here by Maj. Henry T. Allen, commanding at that post, and the command will be in charge of Capt. Mortimer c. Bigelow. The troop will go into camp at the fair grounds. where it will have drills throughout the fair.
 The war department has firmly set it's face against permitting bodies of troops to appear as participants at state or county fairs. that Is to the extent of being classified among the fat cattle fast horses and big pump kins as attractions of the fair. and 1t is not for that purpose that this cav airy troop is coming.
 Its visit will be in the course of it's annual practice march prescribed by the regulations of the war department That the fair will be going on at the time of its encampment at Phoenix will be purely coincidental, a circum stance for which the war department is in no way responsible.
 The round trip of this march will be in the neighborhood of 400 miles.
