An expert workman in one of the great needle factories, in a recent test of skill, performed one of the most delicate feats imaginable. He took a common sewing needle of mediuni size, one and five-eighth inches in length, and drilled a hole through its entire length, from eye to point, the opening- being just large enough to permit the passage of a very fine hair.

Good men rarely know the pain endured by the women of their own iiotis<fhoid, or the efforts they make; to appear cheerful and happy when they ought to be in bed, their suffering is really so great, Our habits of life and dress tell sadly upon women's delicate organiza­ tions. They oug'ht to be told just where thedanger lies, for their whole fu­ ture may depend 1,1 upon that knowledge, and how to overcome it. There is no need of our de­ scribing the ex­ periences of such women here, they are too well known by those who have suf­ fered, but we will impress upon every one that these are the never-failing symptoms of serious womb trouble, and unless relieved at once, a life will be forfeited. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com­ pound never fails to relieve the distress­ ing troubles above referred to ; it has held the faith of t he women of America for twenty years. It gives tone to the womb, strength­ ens the muscles, banishes backache and relieves all pains incident to women's diseases. To Make a Shinny Stick. * A bright boy writing to the St. Nich­ olas tells how shinny sticks are made. "I get sticks," .he writes, "as nearly straight as possible and bend them at home. I have a board made like this: There are two pins at one end, at 1 and 2, around which the stick is bent.; and at the other end are two rows of holes into which,p. pin, No." 3, can be put to hold the handle in place. When the sticks--they should be as green as possible--are in place on the board I put the whole thing in the back of the A SHINNY STICK. furnace, where the stick will bake. In about two days the sap is dried out and the stick will keep its curve. "Then I take a belt lace--a loathe? string about half an inch wide and one- sixteenth of an inch thick--and bind it on the short end. If the stick }s split, I bind it first with brass wire and then put the leather binding over the brass."'

There are very few tilings in this world worth getting angry about, and they are precisely the things which an­ ger does not help.

It was formerly believed that the hairs composing tlie fur of the ermine, which is brown in summer and white in winter, could not change their hue, and that the difference in color between the summer and winter coats of the ani­ mal arose solely from the fact that at the beginning of winter the summer fur is shed and a new coat of snowy white­ ness takes its place. Lately, however, experiments have shown that if an er­ mine wearing its warm-weather coat is subjected to a lowering of temperature, its brown fur will quickly become white without shedding of the hair. It re­ mains true, however, that tlfe ordinary winter dress of the ermine is put on onlv when the summer one falls off. The Blue and the Gray. Both men. and women ar© apt to feel a little blue, when the gray hairs begin to show. It's a "vepy natural feeling. In the normal condition of things gray hairs belong to advanced age. They have no business whitening the head of man or woman, who has not begun to go down the slope of life. As a matter of fact, the hair turns gray regardless of age, or of life's seasons ; sometimes it is whitened by sickness, but. more often from lack of care. When the hair fades or turns gray there's no need to resort to hair dyes. The normal color of the hair is restored and retained by the use of Ayer's Hair Vigor.

Further Issues, Without Consent of Coneress, Prohibited--Lively Debate Precedes uthe Vote--Pass River and Harbor Bill Over President's Veto- Anti-bond Bill Passed. At 7 o'clock Tuesday night the long struggle in the Senate over the bill to prqhibit the issue of bonds came to an end and the bill was passed by a vote of 32 to 25. The bill as passed covers only three lines, as follows: "Be it enacted that the issuance of in- terest-bearing bonds of the United' States for any purpose whatever without further authority of Congress is hereby prohib­ ited." /The vote on its final passage was as follows: VEAS.

A flood of amendments were first voted down, all being defeated. One by Mr. Aldrich of Rhode Island gave the executive power to issue bonds in certain emergencies, another by Mr. Aldrich provided that the act should uo.t impair the obligation to pay in coin. Mr. Hill's amendment that treasury notes be retired when redeemed was tabled--43 to 12. Mr. Quay's amendment for the substitution of coin notes for treasury notes was de­ feated without a yea and nay vote. The last preliminary vote was on Mr. Hill's motion to postpone the subject" until next Deceml>er. which was defeated. Then came the final vote. l i iver and Harbor Bill . The report of the Committee on Rivers and Harbors recommending the passage of the bill over the President's veto was made by Chairman Hooker, and the re­ port was read. Mr. Hooker moved the passage of the bill, saying that the com­ mittee was of the opinion that the Presi­ dent's message covered every possible ob­ jection to the 1 >i 11 and that the report an­ swered all objections. "Many members have asked hip for time to debate this matter," he said, "and to yield to their requests would take much time. Without expressing any opinion on the question whether -shore be debate and to test the opinion of the House on the question whether debate is necessary I will demand the previous question." Instantly Mr. Dockery iDem.) of Mis­ souri was'on his feet demanding recogni­ tion, but the speaker told him that debate was not in order. Members were shout­ ing "Vote, vote." but the voice of Mr. Dockery pierced the uproar, shouting: "The gentleman agreed with me yesterday to have debate on this bill. This is un­ fair, unjust, unmanly." The House de­ manded the previous question--178 to 00 by a rising vote, and only 4(< rose to sus­ tain the request, for yeas and nays. "I'mler the rules the vote on the pas­ sage of the bill must be taken by yeas and nays," the speaker announced. "Is there no rule by which we can have de­ bate?" asked Mr. Dockery. Not if the House orders the contrary," said Speaker Heed. "And the House has so ordered-- to stifle debate," responded Mr. Dock­ ery. The bill was passed by a vote of 220 to 60, a wide margin over the necessary two- thirds. The Democrats who voted to pass the bill over the veto were: Bnnkhead (Ala.) .

Melville, the present engineer-in-chief of the navy, over the spot where the body of the brave De Long and his companions were first biir- ieel. The amount of money required will be small. It is proposed to duplicate this tomb in every respect in Woodlawn cemetery, to which place the l>odies of the brave De Dong and most of his companions were removed in the winter of 1883-84. The only difference between the monument proposed to be constructed and that which marked the original tomb of the De Long party will be that the cross will be of cast bronze instead of timber. FOURTEEN BODIES FOUND. That Many More Victims of the Seneca, Mo., Flood Still Missing:. The scenes in and about the district of the awful flood disaster at Seneca, Mo., present a picture of desolation. Cherokee avenue, Seneca's principal bmsiness street, is divided in two sections by the loss of the splendid iron bridge which spanned the Lost creek. Of the twenty-eight thought to be drowned, fourteen have been taken from the water. Every mer­ chant in Cherokee avenue, which embrac­ ed fully nine-tenths of the business inter­ ests of the town, has suffered more or less direct loss to stock. The loss and damage to stock in stores alone is fully $30,000, while the total loss, including the inundated residence district and loss of buildings, brings the total above $50,- 000 at a very conservative estimate. No accurate conception of the loss to private residences can be given, but prob­ ably 100 homes were inundated. Two houses were carried' down the stream, and every member of the Andreas and Schmidt families was drowned. A num­ ber of families have lost all and are des­ titute. Many farmers along the course of Lost creek lost their crops. IS MRS. HARDIN NOW. Marriage of Vice President Steven­ son's DaiiKhter Julia. At Washington, in the presence^ of a distinguished gathering of friends from both official and resident society, Miss Julia, the eldest daughter of Vice- President and Mrs. Stevenson, was mai> ried to Rev. Martin D. Hardin, eon of Mr. and Mrs. P. Watt Hardin of Danville, Ky. Four years ago to-day the young couple became a c e j u a i n t e d . T h e ceremony took place Designed for Use on Southern Railways Where Weeds Crow Densely. Weeds often grow so high along the railroad tracks in {he South that they interfere with «theVuhning of trains. The roadbeds of many of the sxnallei lines are not covered with cinders oi stones and the weeds grows as high beside the tracks as tbey do in, the open fields. This often niakes it neces­ sary for the crop of weeds toi5e mowed every summer. One of the single-track lines down on the Delaware Peninsula ceases running trains for two weeks every summer while the employees mow a passage for the trains. An electrical weed-killer, which will destroy weeds by the wholesale is about to be introduced on some of those lines. The new invention will run at express train speeJd and cut down every bit of vegetation on or near the tracks. Weeding has always been con­ sidered very hard work, but with the aid of the electrical weeder a man has only to touch a button and the weeds vanish. > . 1 The plan of the railroad weeder is rtmple. An ordinary flat car is equip­ ped with metal brushes which extend out over each side of the car. Their height is regulated so that they will brush the top of the weeds as the car moves along. A dynamo on the car,, run while the train is in motion, is con­ nected with the metallic brushes, which receive the full force of the cur­ rent. The circuit is then grounded through the wheels to the track. When the current is turned on it passes through the metal brushes through the weeds to the ground, thus completing the circuit. The current is so powerful that the weeds, which serve as a conductor, are instantly shrivelled up. It is necessary to wet the weeds in order to make them good electrical conductors, so the mowers wait until alter a rain. The electrical weeder does its work more cleanly and more thoroughly than aiiy mowing machine, for the weeds are literally burned up. Wheu they are cut off they soon sprout up again, but after they have been touched by the electric current tliey are destroyed down to the ends of their roots.--New York World.

New York. The monu­ ment, if the present plan is carried out, Making Pianos of Paper. All manner of articles in place of vood have been used in the manufac­ ture o£ pianos. Perhaps the most suc­ cessful of all these is paper, of which many pianos of exquisite tone anel ap­ pearance have been made. The Duke of Devonshire has one of the finest specimens of the paper piano, this be­ ing of French make, and decorated most ornately with pictures by well- known French artjsts. The Duke gave $l!.">00 for tins, mainly no doubt, on account of the ornamentation. I suppose, says a London correspond­ ent. you know that pianos for very hot and very cold climates--all instru­ ments for export, in fact, have to be specially made, and in this directi n all manner of experiments have been tried. Among others, a sort of cellu­ lose. one factor in which is actually common molasses, from which sugar is made, is employed, and a composi­ tion made from the chemical treat­ ment of gutta-percha, and leather pulp has been tried. Ivory pianos are by no means uncommon, and the Dow­ ager Countess of Dudley has a mag­ nificent carved specimen. Pianos of ivory are, I might say, made every year in numbers, but chiefly for In­ dian princes and rich Spanish-Ameri­ cans. Many pianos of solid silver have been made--indeed, one was only lately completed by a London firm for the Nizam of Hyderabad--and piano cases have at various times been made of bronze, a species of aluminum, glass, porcelain, and, in combination, mother-of-pearl.--Music.

I)og« and cats, suffering from disor­ dered stomach, eat certain grasses, whieh have the effect of jmrging and vomiting. The dog also eats fat with avidity when in need of purgation, but abstains from it in his normal condi­ tions. The horse will eat fat for the same purpose, and earth, coal dust, etc., when suffering from worms. Cat­ tle seek certain herbs when ill--me­ dicinal herbs, sucli as they would not eat when well. Horses and other ani­ mals, when suffering from chronic rheumatism, expose themselves to the sun. Dogs and other animals seek water in which to bathe their wounded limbs. M. Delaunay, a French writer, has recorded many instances of instinct ive therapeutics among lower animals when suffering from fever, infection, wounds, etc. He relates the case of a dog that, on being stung by a viper, held the part in rurining water for days until it finally recovered. He in­ stances also the case of a dog that was badly injured by being run over by a carriage, and that remained lying in a brook during three weeks. The animal recovered. A terrier was se­ verely wounded in his right eye. It Sv eluded itself from the light and heat and ate a light, abstemious diet. The wounded eye was treated with spittle applied by itself by means of its paw. which it licked on its upper surface and then npplied to. the wound. This it did repeatedly until the wound healed. An Anomalous "Bruiser." Couper, "the ex-prize fighter and au­ thor," who was one of the enrolled po­ lice force during the troubles at Jo­ hannesburg, formerly enjoyed a great reputation in South Africa, by defeat­ ing a local Goliath in Kimberley. Since then he has done a great deal for ath­ letics in South Africa, and has written a book--an exceptional accomplish­ ment for a prize fighter, but npt sur­ prising in Couper's case, since he is a well-educated man and, indeed, in most matters a complete contrast to the ac­ cepted type of "bruiser." Pawnbroking In Cermany. In GerVnany. pawnbroking is con­ ducted by the State, by the parish, or by private persons under State super­ vision.
