KOMI : ( iUNUiNi : riNi : woitic. Council IluiITH Jvwi'lvr' * Wonderful I'rnt of MIci-oM'oplr DrlllliiL- . M. Woolman , the Broadway jeweler , who has , perhaps , contributed more than any wcstcin man to the unique wonders ot the watchmaker's art by making clocks that never can bs wound and yet never stop tickIng - Ing , or Ecttlng so accurately time-keeping hour and minute hands going on a dial that the keenest nrchanlcal expert cannot dis cover the motive power , has turned another wonder that U the subject of a great deal of nma/.cment. It shows Mr. Woolman's more than marvelous ability to make und handle tools. "Uo you sco anything the matter with that nail ? " he asked a Hoe reporter , tossing out a common six-penny wire nail on the show case. The most careful scrutiny failed to reveal any distinguishing peculiarities. Mr. Wool man g.ive the bit of Iron a twist and It parted an Inch from the head , revealing what looked like a minute pencil case , with a tiny pencil Just protruding. The nail had been drilled from the head almost to the point. The upper half had been bored out slightly larger than Ihi lower , and the smallest size wire nail fitted Into It so neatly that the eye could not have detected Its pres nee had there not been a slight differ ence In the color of the Iron. This nail In turn had been bored almost the entire length , and It formsd the barrel of the pencil case , the lower part of the big-nail making the cap. What looked like n tiny pencil stickIng - Ing out yield.d to a slight pull. It proved to be n common steel needle of ordinary size. The needle had been cut In two a quarter of an Inch below the eye , and both parts had been bored out exactly like the nail. A fine metallic point , so small that It was scarcely visible , peeped from the end In the same manner. A slight pull and out came the tiniest steel nce.ll 2 Imaginable , Just one-halt the hlzo ot the No. 20 , the finest cambric needle made. "If you will look right close and have a good eye , you will se that ths point of the little needle Is also drilled , " said Mr. Wool man. The hole was beyond the- visual capa bilities of the reportorlal ey ? , and It was only when the strongest magnifying glass In the store was us.d that the microscopic hole was discernible. "As nearly as I can measure It , " said Mr. Woolman , "the hole Is but 0.0003 ot an Inch In diameter , and the drill used was finer than a Inlr of the finest fur. " All of the tools used were mads by the jeweler , and the time occupied was the odd moments In two days. The little plecs of mastcnvork was given to the reporter , and If anybody has any curiosity to S3 tlu smallest bit of drilling that has ever been accom plished tbo nail and Its contents can be seen at The Bee office.

Itllilmrm Hint ( 'oiililn't lie Hold Two Yritra Ago Am Now All tin- liner , "This latest craz9 for highly colored bands on straw hats Is proving n godsend to the ribbon manufacturers , " said a man promi nent In the trade to the New York Sun. "Of course hatters , like others In the fur nishing line , make a practice of changing the styles of headgear every year. This Is n necessary proceeding on their part , for If they didn't their business In summer hats uould fall off In an amazing manner. The Idea In changing fashions each year Is to prevent young men from wearing the hats they purchased the year b.fore. Now , If you think It over a bit , you will see that there IH bi > l little field for new shapes In straw hats. The straw hat has been mad ? with a high crown and a low drown , nnd with n broad brim and a narrow brim ; In fact. It has been twisted about In so many ways that Its elasticity Is exhausted , and the broad-brimmed , three-Inch crown hat of the present summer has become the popular hat. For two or three years now It has been this way , nnd I doubt If any more attractive hat can be made. Two saa- sons ago the hatters tumbled to thfact that they had mnde a hat , the popularity of which would be permanent. Then , In desperation , they tried to spring the gny hat bands which arc so popular this year The ribbon houses turned out thousands of yards of these ribbons. They were of every color under the sun , from a deep blue to a rich salmon color. Ths principal product of the ribbon mills , however , were ribbons of mixed colors , and some of the combina tions sprung were enough to make nn able- bo lied man weep. Well , the effort to make these highly colored hat bands popu.ar was , as every one knows , a flat failure. The people stuck to the somber black and pure white ribbons , and the result was that the manufacturers found themselves caught with thousands of dollars' worth of ribbons on their hands. Now , I happen to know that all of this ribbon was carefully stored away , the Intention being to spring It again In 189-1. It meant a tremcndrus loss to the ribbon p oplo to make another failure , and they launched the ribbon In every part of the east at the same time. Weil , the public Is certainly fickle , for what they refused to have anything to do with two years ago they are running after this year. Every one Is wearing a fancy band around his hat. Not only In New York , but In other big cities tli3 craze Is en , and the silk people have got what might vulgarly bo termed a cinch. The tremendous sale of this ribbon , which was manufactured two years ago , has pulled lots of them out of the holes Into which ths late hard times had thrown them. WAS COMPLETELY ANGLICIZED. A Trip Abroiul Di clopod H Il8tnto for .A incrk'iill Institutions. The American who goes abroad for a brief business trip and returns so Anglicized that not even the current coin of his own country Is any longer familiar to him not to speak of the profound distaste developed for her social Institutions Is dally becoming a more usual and ridiculous entity. On the last ar rival of the Umbrla , says the New York Herald , a rare specimen of this particular genus came ashore and was met by a hum ble employe of his business firm , who promptly began a hustle after the baggage. The traveler was a young mail about 30 , wore a yachting cap and a monocle , and shouldered a newly made accent , which nearly lifted the employe oft his feet. "Chawles , " he said , "cawn't you get a kob and shift these blooming traps on the top. I cawn't do with those beastly brawsses for the luggage. Demnablo Inventions. " "All right , sir , " said the astounded Chawles. "What shall I give the man to lift them , sir ? Have you any change ? " "Oh , give the duffer a 'art a crown. Here ; take what you want , " opening his palm , full of silver ; "take anything ; five bob If you want , only let's get out of this bloomlnk hole. I cawn't stand It here , doncher know ! Too beastly , Chawles. " "We have no half crowns or bobs here , sir , " said the man , with the flicker of a smile. "Shall I give him 50 cents ? " "Oh , , " groaned the young man , dropping on the edge of a trunk to relieve his disgusted exhaustion. "Dollahs and cents and dimes , beastly , horrible coins , nnwsty , filthy money , doncher know. It all comes hack to me , Chawles. Heah , " ad justing his monocle and squinting In a help less fashion at the coins In his own hand , "Pick out a 'art a crown's worth of beastly cMmes. You know them Clmwles. Dimes , " repeated the young man , In a disgust , which seemingly bordered on despair ; "What shall I ev.ih do with such perfectly dweadful things ? Is the keb ready , Chawles ? Let's get away from this vtilgah hole. And don't speak to me about dollahs just yet , Chawles. I cawn't stand It Just yet , you know , " said the youqg man from Wcstchester , as the "keb" with the "luggage" swung round the corner of the dock , bearing his languid body homeward. WAYSIDE ADVERTISING. In the KiiBt It IH Looked Upon as 11 Nulsiinco. The custom of advertising by the wayside has got to bo such a nuisance that some thing should bo done to stop It , says the Boston Herald. It Is carried to such an extent In ninny localities and It so disfigures landscapes otherwise beautiful that a large number of travelers would prefer to pass through such places by night rather than bo subject to the continual Irritation caused by such offenses to the eyo. The trouble Is , however , that the nuisance Is becoming so universal that ono would have to travel everywhere by night to avoid It. Ono of the latest atrocities Is that of making signboards Into the shape of huge bottles and other articles , covered with Inscriptions setting forth the virtues of some quack nostrum or other. A praiseworthy attempt was made In the last legislature to prohibit or diminish this evil , but somehow It failed , probably because legislators could not see why a man should not have the right to permit his barn , shed or house to b. covered with advertising signs , or his meadow or field , together with their fences , to be so occupied , regardless of the sensibilities of the public that passes on the highway or In the railway cars. Possi bly the evil might be reached and very severely discouraged by n system of taxation at a rate Increasing with the size of the lettering or dlnvnslons of space occupied. This would certainly be a legitimate subject for taxation. The person owning the prop erty should be made responsible for the tax , for It might be Impossible to r ach the parties doing the advertising. The pro prietor of the premise : ] would thus be made shy of leasing such advertising space. to thn Tn t. The heartless desertion of his helpless tramps In Washington by the Ohio leader recalls a scene in an Ohio home some years since , says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. An old man was stricken with fever and died. As the family stood about the bedside the dying man , conscious to the last , cried out- out"Oh "Oh , mother , mother , what's to become of mo ? " The poor , heart broken woman screamed In reply : "Selfish to the last , you old devil ! You better ask what's to become of me and the children !

THE JFLIGHT TO EUROPE. llxlcnt of Iho l\oilni'of : Workliiiiiicn to the I.nnil of Their Illrtli. Gcncrul Manager Whiting of the Conrad steamship tine In ChlcaBo.'Nvho ' has just re turned from New York , enld to a reporter of the Chicago Tribune : "The c.\odus to Eu rope , which began In the early spring , still continues and Increases. 'Nothing like II has been known before. ' " What Is more , It Is not confines to steerage passengers. The Increase of cabin business Is In full proportion to the Increase In steerage busi ness. The Pavcnla of our line left Boston last Saturday with C2S steerage and 200 cabin passengers. Every line will be taxed to Its utmost during the present summer. When you come to telling how many people ple arc going abroad It Is not easy to do. For a rough calculation I would say there were ten lines , each carrying 500 steerage passengers a week , or 5,000 a week In nil. From that , as n mere guess , I would say that there were 20,000 or 30,000 steerage passengers le.ivlng this country every month. As to the character of these passengers they arc the best class of mechanics nnd working people. "While no one knows absolutely the cause of the exodus one docs not have to look far to find several plausible explanations. Cabin passengers are more numerous because some people arc just returning to Europe from tlio exposition , and others ore going abroad be cause the exposition dctalne 1 them hero last summer. As to the steerage passengers , their departure Is due partly to the scarcity of work and partly to the low traveling rates on land nnd water. A great many of them , when times were good , sent money to their friends abroad , nnd now , when times are hard here , they go abroad to live on those friends for awhile. But , after all , thcro Is more or less mystery about the move ment. " General Manager Anderson of the White Star line said : "Tho exodus to Europe be gan when our line reduced Its rates to $10 , July 13 , and has Increased ever since. I have heard a report that our strainer Teu tonic , which sailed from New York list Wednesday , carried 1,000 steerage passon- gcrs. I lm\o no Information to that effect yet , but I know It rejected 200 steerage pas sengers. T.icre are a few more second cabin passengers than there hove been , and there would have been n grctt Increase In nil cabin passengers but for the hard times. Hut the current exodus Is almost entirely confined to the steerage. Wo have no flg- uies by which to tell how many people have balled within any given time , even by our own line. But my Judgment Is that not less than 25,000 people have left during the last month. The German lines reduced their rates to $18 early In the spring , but no great Increase of travel resulted until we put the price down to $10 and most other lines followed our example. "The exodus Is mainly from the mines and factories of the east. There would be more from the west If we could take them , but we get telegrams all the time telling us to take few or none. The cause of the rush Is not only the low rates , but the hard times. I think the effect of hard times has been greatly aggravated by the recent strikes and by the alarming disagreement and dllatorlness of congress. Worklngmen who have a little money and no work can now go to Europe and live much cheap , r than they can here. Of course they will all come back to America as soon as work be comes plentiful ogala. " General Agent Brcwn of. the International Navlgat on company unit ! * "The exodus did not begin until May , but has been Increasing rapidly ever since. It Is mostly confined to the steerage , but .we have also an In creased cabin travel , due to the detention of so many people in this country last year by the exposition. The steer-go passengers now going to Europe are not a class of people whom we should bei glad to sco leave the country. They , are not the crlm nals nor the paupers , but honest , Industrious and thrifty skilled wprkmen. It would bo a misfortune to have thqm go If It were not certain they woud | return again. What sends them abroad Is , thehard times , moro even than the low ra es. \ "It Is Impossible tcj' form any Idea of the total number who have gone , as the rate has been increasing all the while. Our lines are now carrying 1,500 a week. Our steamer Paris last week carried 675 , after turning over 200 to other lines. As a rough guess I should think they were going over now at the rats of 25,000 a month. We are now sending men to Europe In the steerage for $10 , of which we pay $3 to the agent. " Western Manager Ramra of the Hamburg- American Packet company said : "I be lieve there Is a heavy steerage travel to Europe this summer , but my l.nc des not feel it In the west. It costs only $10 to cross the ocean , but It costs $1C to go second class from here to New York. lEven If the railroad rates could be reduced to $10 It would still cost twice as much to go to Europe from Chicago as from. New York. I do not know the volume of the travel at all , but It Is easy to see It results from the hard times In this country as well as from the low rates. Poor people out of work can live cheaper In Europe than they can here. " Mr. McDonald of Henderson Bros. , general agents of the Anchor line , said : "Our line has not felt the steerage exodus at all , be cause wo have not reduced our rates as the other lines have done. I do not think the exodus Is confined to the cast on account of the railroad rates to the seaboard. There are a good many passengers sailing from the northwest. The exodus began last July , during the exposition , on account of the hard times. It Is large now , but my ex planation of It Is the hard times and low rates have prec'pltated the usual fall travel. I could not form any estimate of tlie number who have gone , nor oven of the number now going every week. I know the Teutonic took 1,000 steerage passengers Wednesday , and then had to leave 300 behind. " BIGGEST OF ALL TRUSTS. Gorman Socialistic Vlnw of Wlmt tlio ItotKxrtillilH Arr Doing. The Berlin correspondent of the Phila delphia Times writes as follows : "Tho Roths childs , paving the wty for the state of the future In these times of commercial crisis , which , according to the socialistic philoso phers , are due to the plethora of wealth , such an announcement Is doubly Interesting , especially when It comes from Hcrr Lleb- knecht , perhaps the most learned of Marxist parliamentarians. He makes It In connec tion with a statement regarding the Roths childs' projected acquisition of the Trans vaal gold fields. "Trusts like ths one that great financial power means to create , become dally moro potent ; they absorb ull Competing capitalists of small , medium and , great means a.ike , and In doing so p'rep'are society for the socialistic stage , for' ' the state of the fu ture , " says Herr lilebknecht. "We propose , as everybody knows , a sys tem under which IrYdunlry Is organized Into a vast social opra'tdiV. | Have the Roths childs taken the cue'from us ? Let us re view their recent performances. The house of Rothschild Is now 'practically ' In control ot the financial policy" of the finances ot Aubtrla , Hungary and Brazil. The barons also are supreme or ! th * continental copper , quicksilver and petroleum markets. Their profits of the Klmhcrly diamond fio.ds , the possession of which 'gives ' the Rothschilds tlio right to dlctato' ' prices to the world In this branch ot buslnebfi , are so enormous that Lombard ttrfut 'and ' the bourses ot Berlin , Vienna and'l'nrls ' tremble when they think of It. And now they propose to buy up the gold fields In 'the south of the Trans vaal or , perhaps , they have bought them already while those who cannot bo ac quired outright are to pass under their con tra ) . Do you know what that means ? "The gold mines In that part of the world have been operated by a number of stock companies up to now ; In 1891 the produc tion amounted to 52,500,000 ot marks ; It rose In 1892 to 87.000,000 ; In 1893 to 106,000- 000 marks , and thin year the output Is es timated at 100,000,000 marks. According to Indisputable official scientific authority the gold deposits In the South Transvaal mines are worth 700,000,000 marks , This Is equal to one-third of the gold production In the entire world , The Rothschilds , unhampered by financial considerations , will not bo forced to spend a dozen years or mora In lifting this treasure , an the email concerns would. They can do so within a twelve month , and after that ? "At all events , free competition In the Transvaal among the employers and em ployes Ylll cease , and the monopoly absorb ing the rights nnd duties nt the former owt crs will be placed In the- position of reg ulating pr ductlon according to the dictates ot the Rothschild Intercuts. The Iloths- chllds , If their scheme succeeds , will be come absolute rulers cf the monay markets of the world , imd can regulate the financial ; policy of all governments to suit themselves by cither curtailing or Increasing the gold j ploductlon. j "That Is ono reason why the Jelhronc- j mcnt of silver nnd the elevation of gold as the sole standard Is to dangerous to the { capitalistic world. Of course , we socialists I do not grumble at this stale ot affairs. Wo observe with n great deal of Interest the growing supremacy of the Rothschilds In all branches of economy. The HothsclilUs have lungs splendidly adapted for n rnco of competition. When all their economic rivals are prostrated they still have breath enough to go ahead. I remind you of the- manner In which the barons liarasfcd the Russian petroleum producers to clear the way for the American monopolist * . I "Private capital , In absorbing free com petition , ns the Rothschilds arc doing , saw off the branch of the tree on which It la resting ; social production Is appropriated by anarchic distribution , The more undis guised , the more radical the described pro cess , the more outspoken Its socialistic ten dency. The Rothschilds , In expropriating private capitalists and appropriating th.'lr , means of production , work out the very theory we have been advocating right along. Let them crush out the smaller capitalist ? entirely nnd let production be controlled by the smallest possible minority. That la I what we are striving for. I "It In pure socialism , though for ego tistical ends. When our time cnmps the expropriation of private capital for the ben efit of the whole people will be nn easy matter If the concerns Interested In the proceedings are but few In number.

The likeness of a human arm und hand presented In every dptnll upon n common corn cob Is the freak .of nature owned by C. U. Cundlff of Somerset , Ky. Two years ago It was found growing upon Its parent stalk In a field near that city , owned by William Anderson. When the car was pulled It was thought to be one of those frequent bunches found In every field. It was husked and thrown Into the crib until the following autumn. When it came to shelling time the curiosity was developed In all of Its fullness. Among the superstitious it created a feelIng - Ing of alarm , just as did the alleged "hand writing of the Lord" some weeks since. That clever fake was exposed In the Cin cinnati Enquirer through the examination of the sample blades by Prof. Lloyd , the noted botanist. The "Corncob Arm , " as this phenomenon of nature Is known , is , however , a genuine article. Attar being shown about the country It was finally pre sented to the present owner , Mr. Cundlff. Ho has had It measured and photographed for future reference , and prizes It most highly. The cob weights 4',4 ounces and Is S 5-1G Inches In length. From the butt to the palm of the hand Is S'/i Inches. Its thick ness at the butt Is 5 1-1G Inches , and at the wrist 4 Inches. The thumb Is l',4 Inches In length , the first finger 114 , the second 1 % , the third IH and the fourth 1 % . The arm , so ca led , Is symmetrical , resembling the gloved forearm of a woman extended as If In the act of reaching for something. A curious thing presented by the fingers Is the mark , or crease , upon the Inner tuifaee usually made by the joint In Iho human. The owners ot the curious thing have cleaned away the empty grain cells In order to more fully show the outlines cf the hand. In other respects It is as It came from the REAL ESTATE , PIIIB , TORNADO AND ACCIDENT IN- SUHANCB.

A I'litnllv ItroUcii Cp nud n fit nil Iliipopu- lutrtl liy tlio Vorlfrroim IMcltln. They were talkltiK about the desertion of farms by the younger generations for the alluring charms of the cities , says the Chicago cage Tribune ; how young men and young women left the homo nest In the country as soon as they fell any confidence In them selves nud Hocked to the paved streets and brick walls of urban life In the hope that work would not be so hard and that money would como easier. "Our family furnishes a cas3 In paint , " said a young German. "We're all In the city now except the old folks , who stick to the farm and are doing pretty well. Our reasons for abandoning the farm , however , are not those usually Given , nnd I doubt If a parallel case can bo found. " Then ho told his story. With tv , o brothers and three sisters he lived on a farm 100 miles from Chicago and they nil nulcd a phlegmatic old father in operating the place. U was a line piece of land and the family was happy nnd pros perous. Hut dark disaster camp one day In the shape of n cabbage crop. The Chicago cage market showed a strong demand for sauerkraut and the farmer dtclded to go Infer for n profitable crop. With the three boys ho planted several acres In CEtblugo with ex- ccIUnt results. The crop was cut up and packed and when all was done there were 350 barrels of the finest sauerkraut made. Communicating with n friend in the gro cery business on the North Slda the farmer received an order for ten barrels. A few days later the grocer announced that the best ho could offer was Su cents a barrel , the top market price. The old mnn couldn't stand such a drop as that , so he had the shipment returned , paying freight charges both ways. Purchasing forty-five young pigs he began fattening them on his high grade sauer kraut. All went well for a few days , bit ; the porkers soon tired of the diet , nnd began to run from It. The pllo grew high and a few of the stronger pigs jumped the fence and ran away , while others sickened nnd grew weak from starvation. It 'was a puzzle for the old man , l.ut ho was determined to derive some benefit , nnd the boys lugged the stuff up to the orchard near the house , where It was spread about as a fertilizer. By this time the entire family grew turbulent at the mcie mention of sauer kraut , and when the ! > un poured Its hot rays on the pickled cabbage the girls rebelled. The farmer was obdurate and the three g'rls packed their effects and came to the city. The kraut became bo powerful that even the old man could not stand It and the boys were Instructed to cart It down to a distant field and spread It. The boys had been on iho verge of mutiny several times and this set tled It. They all "lit out" for Chicago nnd have been hero ever since. The girls uru In service , and once In n great while they meet with the lonely and disappointed old Teuton on the farm. When It wns all over the Chicago sauerkraut market went boo.ulng again.
