All great people haw had their follies, fol-lies, which is another wo.y of saying that all have had their weak points. The great Dr. Johnson, with till his phllosoplry. was not w"hout a superstition. super-stition. He was very careful not to enter a room with his left foot foremost; fore-most; if by any chance he did so he would immediately step b-.iek and reenter re-enter with his right foot foremost. He was terribly afraid of death, too, and would not suffer it to be mentioned in his presence. Julius Caesar, to whom the shouts of thousands of the enemy were but fweet music, was mortally afraid of the sound or thunder and always wanted want-ed to get underground to escape the dwadful noise. Marshal Saxe. who loved to look upon up-on the ranks of opposing armies, fled and screamed in terror at the sight of a cat, an animal which is supposed to cause fear to Sari Roberts, also. Peter the Great could scarcely be persuaded to cross a bridge, and whenever he placed his foot on one he would cry out with fear. Like the groat man that he was, he tried to overcome his weakness, but he was never able to do so. And Byron would never help anyone to salt at table, nor would he be helped himself; and if any salt were spilled he would Immediately get up and leave. THE WAY XEKDLES ARE L1)E. Needles are made from steel wire, which is first cut out bv shears from soils into the length of the needles to be made. Fays the Chicago Tribune. After a bath of such bits as has been cut out they are placed in a furnace, i then rolled until perfectly straight. Next the needle nnimi. (oi-o.. I dozen or so of the wires and rolls them between his thumb and finger. I nuh th?ir ends on a turning grind-i grind-i stone, first one and then the "other being ground. The little steel bobbins are next fed into a machine which flattens and gutters the heads, after which they eyes are punched. They are now complete needles, but rough and easily bent. Careful heating heat-ing and sudden cooling gives them the necessary temper, and nothing remains re-mains but to give them their final polish. On a 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 a pot with others, where it rolls about for twelve hours or more. When taken from this friction bath the needles require only a rinsing in clean hot water, when they are ready to be, sorted and packed. CON YEIISATIOX. We should at all times endeavor to bring- our portion of good will and good humor among the friends we meet, and not to trouble them with relations which will oblige them to real or fancied affection. Cares, distresses, dis-tresses, dislikes and petty cares, of our own are not to be obtruded upon our friends. If we gace a little more thought to the fact how very little of this life is really given over to making others happy and making those with whom we converse feel satisfied and pleased with us, we would he more tender of our friends and more thoughtful of their comfort. One of the best rules is. never to say a thing which any of the company present had rather we left unsaid; never under any circumstances to say anything which might wound the feelings feel-ings or sensibility of any one, or to allude in any way to anything which we know is disagreeable or unpleasant. Conversation should always be carried car-ried on so that on parting there will be no feeling of dissatisfaction with one's self or others. E.VEMIES. Go straight on and don't mind them. If they get in your way walk around regardless of their spite. A man who has no enemies is seldom good for anything; he is made of that kind of j material which is so easily worked and that everyone has a hand in it. A sterling character is one who thinks for himself and speaks what he thinks; he is always sure to have enemies.) They are as necessary to him as fresh i air; they keep him alive and active. Live down prejudices by right doing. If you stop to dispute, you do hut as they desire, and open the way for more abuse. Let the poor fellows talk, there will be reaction if you perform per-form but your duty, and the 'sparks, which if you do not blow, will go out of themselves, and those once alienated alien-ated will flock to you and acknowledge acknowl-edge error. HOW TO STOP A COUGH. Constant coughing is like rubbing a wound on the outside of the body. So long as it is done, the wound wilt not heal. Let a person, when tempted to cough, draw a Jong breath and hold it until it warms and soothes every air cell, and some benefit will soon be received re-ceived from this process. The inhaled air acts as an anod3"ne to the mucous membrane, allaying the desire to cough, and giving the throat and lungs a chance to heal. At the same time a suitable throat lubricant will aid nature na-ture in her effort to recuperate. A DAINTY ANIMAL. ' Many people would hesitate to wear ermine fur if they knew the sad little story that hunters tell about the dainty animals that wear the white coajt. If, while they are being pursued, they come to a muddy place in the road or field, they will stop and allow themselves them-selves to be captured rather than soil their beautiful fur. They prefer death to dirt, and will not accept saftey on ignoble terms. THE GLOCKXEH STHUdK IiY LIGHTNING. The Glyockner Sanitarium, Denver, conducted by the Sisters of Ciharity of Cincinnati, was struck recently by lightning. The lightning stttick the southwest side, rendering ore of the patients and the nurse who was with her, insensible. The damajge to the building was slight INSPIRATION IN DUIIVMS. Coleridge must be added to the list of authors who have found inspiration in dreams, for he himself has told us that he composed over two hundred lines of "Kubla Khan" during a sleep of three hours. On awaknig he wrote down the fragment now existing, but the interruption of a visitor banished the- rest from his mind. The first idea of "The Ancient Mariner," too, was suggested to the poet by a dream of his friend Cruikshank. And Kip-iin's Kip-iin's "Greatest Story in the World" wps but the half-remembered dream of a commonplace young man, |
