Be­ fore their introduction thorns and fish bones, the latter with a hole pierced for an eye, were in use. The first needles used in Loudon were, made by a Moor in the reign of Henry T ill., and in Queen Mary's day steel needles were sold in,Cheapsitle, says Home Chat.

So bright, indeed, are they that two or three will illuminate a lrat as well as candles, and the natives often read by the light they give. When the Indian hunter prepares for a journey through the forest at night his lantern is one of these beetles fastened to his toe. Hot only does it light his way, but also frightens away snakes and other dangerous reptiles. Th* Symbol* of Japan, The imperial house of Japan' owns three symbols which are car­ ried before the emperor on all state occasions. These symbols are .the mirror, the" crystal and the sword, and each has it own significance, Tim mirror signifies “know thyself;” “be pure and shine” is the message of the crystal, while the sword is a reminder to “bo sharp.” What a Littl* Girl Said. One evening when four-year-old Bennie was watching the full moon rise she exclaimed: , “Oh, come! See the Bun all faded out!” ____ __ Th* Maflic Pill Box.

Every ®e&t hopes aafl dreams that lie will coaio flay be a laird, and the | truest proof of Lauder’s Caledonian j blood la shown to the eagerness with which he bought the old estate and th© pride with which bo assumed his now dignities. Harry's thrifty soul, however, was doomed to a joyous-jar before ho had long been a laird of Dunoon. A day or so after he acquired the old place he numtaoned one of the tenants, a gray old cotter, and questioned him aa to' the lives and bablt3 of the previ­ ous lairds. “Ye wull hen, Sandy mon,” said Harry, “that 1 weesh ta follow a* the auld customs o' the lairds o' Dunoon.

There Is one man in Germany whe Invariably accompanies the emperor wherever he goes, whatever the ocen- ftlon. His name is Francois Ilahy, his majesty’s burlier, the man who has made the fortune of caricaturists In two hemispheres by inventing for his Imperial master the upturned mu*-- tticbea mad© rfamous by the kaiser. Once, however, his majesty in his search for absolute privacy even relln* quisked the services of his Figaro. This was during his visit to England in 1007. But Herr llaby was spared the pain of seeing another take bis place, for the emperor shaved himself throughout his, stay; A Machine With Fingers. Among the exhibits at the Seattle exposition Was shown a device fot feeding and removing sheets to and from a platen job printing press, which may truly be termed an “uncanny ma­ chine.” It consists of two arms, which possess a reaching and retracting movement resembling that of a human arm and each" of which terminates In five long, crooked fingers, the grasping power of which depends upon an auto­ matic suction force in the finger tips. The arms work alternately. One deliv­ ers the blank sheets, and the other re­ moves them as they aro printed agd deposits them on a platform.—Denver News-Times. Two Chicago Streets.
