Needles are made from steel wire
which is first cut out by shears from
coils into the length Of the needles to
be made. After a bath of such bits
as have been cut out they are placed
in q furnace. then rolled until per-
fectly straight. Next the needle
pointer takes up q dozen or so of the
wires and rolls them between his
thumb and finger. with their ends on
a turning grindstone, first one and
then the other being ground. The
little steel bobbins are next fed into
the machine which fattens and gut
ters the heads after which the eyes
are punched.
They are now complete needles, but
rough and easily bent. Careful heat
ing and sudden cooling give them the
necessary temper. and nothing re-
mains but to give them their final
polish. On coarse cloth needles are
spread to the number of forty or fifty
thousand. Emery dust is strewed
over them, oil is sprinkled on, and
soft soap daubed over the cloth. which
rolled tightly. is thrown into q pot
with others where it rolls about for
twelve hours or more.
When taken from this friction bath
the needles require only rinsing in
clean hot water, when they are ready
to be sorted and packed.

Tame Eagle.

A man living near Tromso, in Nor
way, is great lover of wild birds
and has succeeded in tanning three
eagles. He took them on the noun
tain side while they were young and,
according to the London Field, kept
them couple of years in captivity.
As their craving for liberty, however
grew stronger and stronger, he at.
last let them loose. but they have
settled down in the neighborhood of
his home, and when he ascends the
height which has become their fayorite
resort withfish or d newly shot seagull
they quickly discover him from afar
and come maiestically sailing through
the air, settling down beside him.
Their meal over, they willingly allow
him to pet and stroke them before
they again make for the rocky islets,
but they will not allow stranger to
approach them.

Some Reminders.

Tender feet are the cause of much
Suffering to women who do house
work in hot weather. For this. the
feet should be soaked in a bath of hot
water, then have cold water dashed
over them, dried, and we'll rubbed
with witch hazel. For calloused soles
rub well with cold cream, and in the
morning dust the feet with talcum
powder. This will make the feet
less tender. After the salt bath, a
rub with wood alcohol will often re-
lieve the aching. burning sensation
caused by too long standing. The
cleanliness OF the feet can not be too
strongly urged, as much OF the bodi-
ly comfort depends upon their condi-
tion. A tight stocking is often the
cause of discomfort, and in buying
either shoes or stockings, it is we'll
to insist on q perfect fit, rather than
the fashion.

A JOKE IN THE JURY-ROOM.
Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.

OinN'hhoti NommcICiGi
Here is a story that is told by To-
cal lawyer, who Swears it is an actual
experience; A jury had retired on a
murder case and had voted IL to l
for acquittal. The obstinate man
was small, red faced fellow. appar-
emily heavy drinker. He held out
for conviction and declared that he
was ready to stay there as long as
the next one. Every now and then
he would lean over and suck the head
OF small bamboo cane he carried.
Finally the jurymen began to make
ready for night of it. The little
man soon fell asleep over his cane
and when he went further in the
Land of Nod the stick dropped to
the floor. Members of the jury
picked it up and we're about to re-
turn it, when they discovered that it
was filled with whisky. and very
good whisky, too. They passed it
around, each taking a sip. Of sud-
den the little man awakened and,
reaching for his cane, attempted to
suck more coil of joy" from the
head. He was very thirsty, but
found the cane empty.
After thinking some time, he said:
Boys, / believe I've changed my
mind. I'll vote for acquittal. Let's
hurry"
