One of the most prosperous and busy towns in the great manufacturing region in northern England is Bolton. A hundred and thirty years ago it was a much smaller towu than now, but it had then the repu- tation of being one of England’s most thriv- ing industrial centers. At that time Bolton was a queer straggling place, with' many old grimy houses, and many narrow lanes‘ and alloys branching off from the streets One of these alleys conducted the wayfarcr to an ancient, cozy inn, the Old Millstone. If you had been walking in this alley about the year 175" you would have seen a rude ‘ sign hanging over a cellar on one side, bear in? these words : ‘f Come to the under- g'ound Barber! Flo shaves for a penny l” Uescending into the cellar, on would have seen the barber to be a brig t-eyed, active, keen-looking young man about twenty-one years of age, standing ready in his shirt- sleeves to shave the customer. Nor would he have to wait long, for the cheap rate at which be relieved people of their stubby beards brought an almost continual sue cession of artisans from the neighboring machine shop to his dark little cellar. When he had shaved acustomer, the latter would hasten to a lead cistern against the wall to wash his face, for barbers in those days did not “ fix up" their customers as comfortably after shaving as they do now. This lively barber, besides being very expert at his trade, was, like many another barber before him and since, a great talker. Everybody who came under the swift sweep of his raaor had to pay his contribu- tion of chatter. The barber asked his cus tomers about their various trades, and he was always especially eager to learn what anybody would tell him about machinery. He loved to hear all about the new machines which now and then were introduced into the shops and factoriesâ€"how they were made, how they worked, how much labor they saved, and what kind of goods they ma 0. The name of our inquisitive and energetic barber was Richard Arkwright. His child-i hood and boyhood had not been very pleas- ant. His father was a very poor man, and had thirteen children. Of course, as there were then no free schools in England, he could not hope to give this large family a good education. The result was that Rich- ard grew up without learning much of anything, and just as soon as he was strong enough to work he was set about it. Yet Richard was a youth of a very persevering, determined spirit. He had a manly independence about him and a cheerful courage, which enabled him to bear whatever hardships came upon him bravely, and to sturdilv carry on his struggles with the world. While he was shaving tor a penny. he was always dreaming or some- thing better and more profitable. He knew that he had a good deal of mechanical Qingenuity, and he ‘r‘esol‘v'ed to put it to use ,.,L LL- I!ALI_ leisure time he had in studying machinery, and in trying to invent something. By the time he was thirty Richard made n his mind that he had had quite enough 0 the shaving business. He worked hark, yet he only made enough to keep body and soul together ; he was laying u noth ng for the future. So throwing aai e the razor, he took up the trade of adealer in hair. He wandered about the country, buying the hair of rustic youn girls, making it up into wig- and selling t em to the old peo 10. Meanwhile he invented a new way of ye- lng hair, which brought him in quite a brisk trade. He thrived so well in his new husi; tux-688.1110: he laid up quite alittle sum of money, and “Min in love with a farmer's daughter, he ma ed her. One day he won in a manufacturing town, and heard some weavers talking About the threads need in the weaving o! cloth. The clot . they made consisted of linen thread woven with cotton. lint it was hard, they laid, toget eno h cotton thread to form What was called t e “ Weft" of the cloth. A machine for spinning cotton thread had nlrend been invented by a poor Weaver nnme Jemee Hargreaves. to whom his in- vention hnd teen nothing ‘bnt'a misfortune, since he had been panecntod and driven from lncoto place. hecnnee the spinners thong t that his “npinning-jenny”would deprive them of work. lht the e inning jenny did not produce enough threw for the demand, nor wasita thread fine and close enough for the weft. Richard Arkwright listened intently tn all thnt the WELVOI'S were eaying. He plic d them with quotations. Ilo ionnd one or Hot cow's spinning-jennics. and examined close y its ovcry put. From that time he had but one idemâ€"to invent a machine whlch would spin thread tutor and finer than the spinning-jenny. And now, like many in- vontors who absorb themselves in their one idea, Richard began to neglect his regnler busineu, his young wife saw with angor that he was daily growing poorer. and poorer, and, instead of saving money. he did not now earn can it to give them the common com~ forte 0! Ii 9. Instead of going up end down the country for his stock of maiden’s flanges, he stayed at home, making models of ma, chines, and ln-oodingovor themhy the hourto- gather. One day he would feel euro that the model he hed'juet made would answer the par pole. and brin fame and fortune st lent: the nut. he would diecover some fete! (ident- t not one. The tinnlly grow so or “in it van with iflioulzy they coul procure enou h to eat from day to day. Richard's wt 0, who was a young woman of rather violent temper, was always uphraldlng him ior what she thought his idleuets. and crying out to hill] that his attempt. to invents shinning-machine Were all nonsense. At last her patience gave way entirely. and one day she seized the lust model Which he had carefully and laboriously made, and in a fit of rage threw it violently on the floor. Richard could not. stand this; “He? was in- would throw the model uldo, and begin on l‘IVI‘I-Ju ya...“ _-v v. furiawd to see his préity modell ing on the floor in twenty pieces, and_ $9111 1i? wife to floor in twenty pieces, and tqld his wlte to leave forever. She obeyed him, going aWay from their humble home: new; to return. ‘ It‘ll-o vu‘... --â€".. After several years of rent poverty and ‘ suffering, during which 6 met and over- come many great otetecles, Richard at last completed the machine which has made his name immortal in the tunnel! of invention. It was while he was struggling with his troubles that one do he arrived at Preston. which he has made his home. An election fur member of Parliament was going or, uni his vote was reatly needed. But helooked so shabby ans rugged that his part were ashamed to take him to the polls. Syo they took him to a. tailor'e, fitted him out with a new suit of clothes, and so brought him up to the voting place. But the old days of want vnuizhed forever after Arkwright had at last. introduced his spinnlug frame. This machine productd a cotton thread fit not only for; the “ welt,” but 9180‘ for the “:51:er 3’ of ihe clothfio that the doth could 003v be_woven whqlly pf cot_t_oq. In a few years the beautiful vale of the river Derwent, in the centre of En land, re- vealed to the eye several large mi s busily at work with Arkwright’s machines, and not far from them rose a state] country house. with parks and lawns, huown as \Villerslev Castle. Both the mills and the‘ castle telcnfied to Richard Arkwright, who was now ric and prosperous, and growing richer every day. Be who had once been a humble barber in a din y cellar, shaving workmen for a penny a p ece, was now one of the chief men of his neihhorhood, and one of the most famous in a1 England. He was made high sheriff of his county. which in England is a higifihonour; and once when King George I”. paid a visit to his locality, Arkwright, as sheriff, presented the men arch with an address of welcome. For this light deed, and not because he was the in- ventor of one of the most useful machines ever made, the king made Arkwright a knight, so that he rose from his knees with the title of Sir Richard Arkwright. Thus titled, rich and renowned, the inventor lived to a good old’age, happy in the respect of all men. Early Winter Millinery. As the cold weather approaches, the fe- male mind naturally turns to the considera- tion of that most important part of her costume. the hat. or bonnet, and well may the modern woman he bewildered by the variety of shapes displayed for her to select from. If she is young and partial to the English style of dressing, she will likely select a still, moderately high crowned shop of the glossy beaver or hatters’ plush, IB niilniners term it, which was worn somewhat last winter, and will be still more in favor this. an it now comes in a variety of colors as well as in black. In felts, the low crowned English turban: are still worn by conservative people, and some of these have the crown indented to- ward the front ; indeed the leading {entree of the newest round hats are lowu' crowns and projecting brime. These hrims, how~ ever, are most eccentric, and it is in thin the variety exists. Some extend from the crown far out in front, some are wide on one eide, some turn up in a point oh the back of the hat, and others roll toward the from, and become gradually narrower on the right side, while still, another at) 16 rolls up on both sides close to the crown. These are often stylishly trimmed with a long, rich plume extending over the crown toward. the heck. Another odd conceit is a inked edging of felt around the rim of both ate and bonnet I. while other felts are embroidered in email leaf and flower patterns.

To the sick, oittimcs the restraint which comes from their own weakness, the irksomeness of inactivity, is harder to bear than all the agonies of pain and disease. This is but the beginninn with the prisoner. Withdrawn from all the in- tomato oi the world, having no longer any part in humanity, destined at a fixed hour to have the r remnants of his pale and shadowy life choked out of him at the hands of the race of which he was once a part, he must count the days and hours that remain to him ti'l that agonizing moment when he shall, before the unpitying eyes of the com. ‘ mnnity he has wronged, writho out that wretched existence, to which be yet as an animal clings.
