We know that one body is harder

dass scratches marble, but a bit of
diamond scratches glass; 'so glass is
harder than marble, and the diamond
is harder than glass. The steeLblade
of a knife scratches copper, so steel
is harder than cupper, -and it is not
impossible to pierce a copper coin
rith a needle that is much harder
than it, says the Scientific American.
The problem at first sight appears in
soluble, beoause if we try to drive a
needle into a cent just as we would
drive a nail into a board, we never
tail to break the needle at every at
tempt, since steel, although very
hard, is very brittle. But if, through
some artifice, we succeed in holding
the needle straight and rigid over the

vith a hammer. To do this, it is on
y necessary to introduce the needle
nto a cork of tbesame length, when,
leing held in a true sheath, it will bo
inable to bend in any direction, and
an be given a hard blow in the di
rection of its axis without being

Under such oircumstance3 place
rbe needle and its cork over a cent

table that you do not fear to injure,
and then take a somewhat heavy lock
smith's hammer and strike the cork a
hard blow. If the blow be straight
-rad a very hard one the needle will
pass through the cent, and it will be
impossible to remove it. The experi
ment may be tried with any piece or
money. We should add that success
may not attend the first blow,and it
will be necessary to make several

Hi

Famous Women.
The critic never had a wider
province than he has to-day. The
newspaper is a continual invitath n
to him to shoot his arrows jn all
directions. Criticism ought not tQ
be confounded with chronic grum
bling, though the professional
critic is very apt to fall into this
state of mind. Criticism should
be permeated with sympathy. It
may be fair and it may be honest
and it may be true, and therefore
ought to be welcomed. But there
is a good deal of criticism, public
and private, which is not distin
guished for anr of these elements.
The paper bottle is the latest
evidence that we live in an age of
paper. Car wheels, barrels, pails-,
washbowls and racing boats are
now made from paper, or from a
a substance that can be only so
named, although it is rather a pa
piermache than & texture that has
been produced by the complicated
appliances of a paper mill. The
paper bottle is a Chicago invention.
It has these advantages over the
glass bettle: Less likely to break;
much lighter weight; impenetra
bility to frost; lower cost; no pack
ing material needed in cases. It
is, like glass, unaffected by acids,
if properly prepared. The only
advantage possessed by the glass
bottle is transparency.

Some years ago a Miss H was
teaching school in Dixon, 111. One
day, in the reading class, they came
across the word "magnet." The
teacher asked how many in.the class
knew what a magnet was, and re
quested those who knew to hold up
their right hands.
All the class was motionless for a
moment, and then one little girl
rose and put up her hand. "Well, my
dear," said the teacher, "what is a
magnet?" I don't know," said the
little girl, "as I know what it is, but
I have seen'em at home in mother's
cheese." Ex.

Is Consumption Incurable?
In New York city is a largo
printing establishment whose work
is well and favorably known to its
many" patrons. A large portion
of its trade consists in supplying
labels to bottlers, grocers, drug
gists and saloon keepers. Over a
thousand kinds are kept in stock,
wnue a tnousana otners can ue
produced at forty-eight hours1 no

fied into criminal forgeries (i. e.,
copying a label protected by"
trademark), simple forgeries (copy
ing a label not" protected by a
trademark), imitations of well
known labels and simple lies. The
skill displayed is admirable. The
