Ewes OF Needles.

Millions of needles are sold daily. II
was not so long ago when the thread in
the needle was cut by the sharp edges
left in the eye after manufacture. The
smaller the needle the sharper the edge
and the greater the annoyance to users.
Then, again, the eye would rust, for a
woman will danpen the end Of the thread
on her tongue in order to make a point
so that the needle may be threaded more
easily. Complaint was loud and long.
and orders were passed down the line TO
produce an eye in the smallest needle
that could not cut the finest and softest
thread in the world.
This was done by inventing new
machine in the shape of die cutters for
the making Of the eyes. The points on
these minute augers are so small that
they cannot be seen with the naked eye
or detected by the most delicate sense Of
touch. A microscope is necessary. So
If was essential TO invent new machines
to manufacture the die and to sharpen
the tiny drills.
Polishers and burnishers had TO be
made that would finish off every rough
edge in an instant almost because needles
sell a dozen or so for afew cents. When
this was done the needles were placed in
rack, through which tie eyes projected
and held so tightly that when immersed
in water only the eyes were covered.
In this way fhe head of the needles be-
Came the negative pole of powerful
battery, and in few moments the eyes
of several million needles were gold
plated and hence rendered rust proof.

into a ball, put it in his mouth, chewed
vigorously, and then with gulp Swal-
lowed the pulpy morSel.
"'That dose saved your life,' said the
gambler, in amollified tone, and the next
day he had streak OF luck and paid the
money-lender in full.
"The money-lender was much pleased
with this honesty, and when the gambler
a few weeks later called and asked for
new loan he was readily accommodated.
"The gambler, having pocketed the new
loan, sat down, dipped the pen in the ink

TEACHERS ENGAGED FOR LIFE
Swiss Pedaoogues Receive Small Pay.
But Are Persons Of Consequence
in the Community.

Nearly 80 per cent. of the teach
ers in Switzerland are men,. says w.
X. Tate, supervisor of rural schools
in South Carolina Mr. Tate has just
returned from a three months inves-
tigation OF Switzerland under the
auspices OF the national bureau of ed
ucation.
Five hundred dollars is considered
a good salary for teacher. After q
lifetime of service he may go as high
as $500. Living is cheaper there than
here. however. and In addition to his
salary he is given a dwelling, a GER
tain amount of garden land and wood
for fuel. His dwelling is generally
in the same building with the school.
His position is of considerable local
Importance. Aside from his duties in
the schoolroom. he is often secretary
of the local creamery association, lead
er of the village band, organist in the
church and general INTELLECTUAL guide
for the community.
When a teacher is engaged it is
for life or long term Of years. He
settles down with the people whose
children he teaches. and expects TO
make that particular job his life
work Changes are rare. Twelve
new teachers in one year in a sys-
tenn of 240 was considered very un-
usual The record for continued serv-
ice in the same village is held by a
teacher in Thurgau, who has occu-
pied the same position for 65 years.
One teacher that / visited has held
his position for "a years, and his IA
ther held the same position for 80
years.
"One of the most attractive fea-
lures of the Swiss schools is the cor
dial personal relation that exists be-
tween teacher and pupil. There is
nothing of the military in the disci-
pline of the school; no lining up; no
marching to classes When the chill
dren go to the classroom, they shake
hands with the teacher, greeting him
as if they had not seen him for
long time, and are really glad to see
him. The whole relation is one of
charming naturalness and kindness
on both sides"

Don't Give Babie. Gifts.

Il is not a good practice to give
babies promiscuous gifts. Little chill.
dren who are left to play out front
or on the porch of their homes un-
guarded are often, with the best in
tention Of the givers, given gifts of
candy, cake, orange by passers by,
who mean well, and oftentimes money
pennies and nickles are given. This
is altogether reprehensible practice.
Yesterday afternoon mother left
her little baby on the porch for few
minutes while she went indoors.
Imagine her horror upon her return to
find the child with a penny in it's
mouth. The copper cent had been
given the baby with the best intention
by some one passing. but the little
thing had put it in her mouth, habit
all children have. Had the baby
swallowed the penny the mother would
probably ever have known what
caused the trouble.

Old southern Cooks Passing.

The colored cooks who were q
marked type of southern farm life be-
fore the war are rapidly passing away.
On thousands of plantations these
cooks were born on the place and re
manned in service even after freedom
came to them until they we're taken
to the little family burying ground
for final rest.
Occasionally one of these old col
ored cooks can be found still doing
good service. The average pay for
colored cooks on southern farms is
from So to IS per month. An excep-
tionally fine cook and one who has
been in service many years sometimes
gets as much as $40 but such wages
are rare.
The younger generation of colored
cooks demand much higher wages
and southern housewives find them
selves compelled to pay from SIS TO
s24 per month in order to keep first
class servants.
