PIH..

We believe that pins, as we now have
them, came into use about the year l4S2,
and the perfection Of pms was insured in
1913 BY an act of Parliament which read,
"that no person shall put up 70 sale any
pins but such as only be double headed,
and have the head soldered fast to the
shank Of the pin, well-smoothed, the
shank we'll shaver. the point well and
roundly filed. canted. and sharpened."
In fe20 the pin Manufacturing busine IS
of Gloucester, England, became SO great
that fifteen hundred persons were en-
ployed. The first American manufacto-'
~ was established in 1913, and at that
time paper of pins could not be phr-
chased for less than one dollar, and the
fret attempt at pin making was success
fully made in New York city. A ma
chine patented in 1882 BY John I Howe
wss the first to produce in America pins
with wire and "spun heads" and 1870 the
same gentleman began making pins with
solid heads, The pins Of Mr.. Howe are
more extensively known and the demand
much greater than the, products of o,her
manufacturers. Previous to the intro
duction of pins. their places were sup
piled by many awkward Substitutes.
iThoss found in Egyptian t6nsbs are ex-
ceedingly bungling m makeup, and are,
in, most instances. sever or eight inches
long Their heads are large and made
Of gold, facts which would render than
at the present unfit for any practical pur.
pose. The ancient Mexicans used thorns
and the English for a long while uset
bits Of sharpened wood. ~, .''.'''

Time for Reading.

81 have no time TO read" is the common
complaint, and especially of women,
whoee occupations are such as 10 prevent
continuous book perusal. They seem to
think, because they cannot devote as
much attention to book as they are com-,
PEELED TO devote to their avocations, that
they cannot read anything. But this is
a grand mistake. 1t isn't the books we
finish at sitting which always does Us
the most good. Those we devour in the
odd moments, half dozen pages at q
time, often give us more satisfaction, and
are more thoroughly digested than those
we make particular effort to read. The
men who have made their mark in the
world have generally been the men who
have in boyhood formed the habit of
reading at every available moment,
whether for five minutes or five hours.
1t is the habit of reading, rather than the
time at our command, that helps us on
the road to learning. Many of the mos.
cultivated persons. whose names have
been famous as students, have given only
two or three hours day to their books.
If we make us of spare minutes in the
midst Of our work, and read a little. if
bnt a page or paragraph, we shall find
our brains quickened and our tod light
ened by just so much increased satisfac.
ton as the book gives US. Nothing
helps along the monotonous daily round
so much as fresh and striking thoughts,
to he considered while our hands are
busy. A new thought from volume is
like oil which reduces the friction Of the
machinery Of life. What we remember
from trief glimpses into books, often serve
as stimulus to, action, and becomes one
of the most precious deposits in the treas.
ury of our recollection. All knowledge is
made up OF small parts, which would seem
Insignificant in themselves, but which
taken together, are valuable weapons for
the soul. ''Read anything continuously,
says DR.. johnson, land you will be
learned" The odd minutes which we are
inclined to waste, if carefully avsiled o
for instruction, will, in the long run, max,
golden hours and golden days that w
shall ever be thankful for.
The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1875-11-17

Injustice is very hard to bear. Yet we
must all learn 10 expect it and to suffer
it as calmly as we can. TO hate our best
deeds turned and twisted into evil ones;
to have OUT acts and words utterly misrep-
resented; to have those turn cold to us for
whom we have always felt the watmest
friendship, is only the fate of humanity
Not all the truth and tenderness that
heaven gives can safe us from injustice.
Nay, since enemies are often made by acts
Of kindness, and people generally dislike
those who do them favors, one will find
that where most justice is to be expected
there is the greatest lack of il. 60
People who want to think i'll Of others
can always do so. They can wiIfully blind
themselves TO good points, and exaggerats
the bad ones. There may be two means
ings TO many things that are said, and the
sneer that was sarcasm. will turn q
friendly speech into q yenomous one.
"He did this for ostentation," or 'just to
make people talk ,ofhim;" "she wants peo-
pie to think her an angel, and so goes
about pretending to smile;" all these re-
proaches are TO be expected BY The most
unaffected and simple-hearted land 90
yesl she's very polite, but she secretly
hates me- is one of the nice little venom
GUS speeches that throw friendship back

"ON DECK,
A Diver Fixed by a shark.

ION Deck" had led an eventful life.
A sailor in youth, diver in manhood
and "ne'er-do well" in old age, he saw
more than falls to the lot of most men.
He came to California in early times, and
was the hero ola shark story, remarkable
as the only one having truth for founda>
ton native to our harbor born. In 1851
James Carton, a stevedore, while warp
ing the ship Genesee to berth off
Market street wharf, lost an anchor. "On
Deck" was the only diver except Bill
Matthew then known in the city, and
was sent for to recover the anchor.
''On Deck" complied, and while so en-
gagged noticed shark lowering a few
feet above him, evidently observing his
movements. The fish was at least
eighteen feet long, and was known as the
"bottle-nose," one Of the most voracious
Of the shark kind. This discovery nat
urally alarmed the diver. He had found
the anchor, made cable fast to it and
was about ascending when the appearance
of the shark made him pause.
He had heard that sharks did not mo-
lest men in armor. He doubted this, and
did not feel now like risking the expert
ment. He moved a few PAGES from the
anchor-the shark moved too. He re.
turned to his former place-the shark
followed. He was evidently, to use his
own words, spotted by the bottle-nose
for supper" and unless signally favored,
would fall victim to its voracity. lie
hardly knew how to act, when he
thought of the cutie fish; how that sin
gular creature often escapes it's enemies
by darkening the water with an inky
liquor elected from it's body. ...,,....
He accordingly stirred up the mud al
the bottom till the water was darkened
around him. cast off the weights and sig,
nailed the man to haul him up. lie wal
hauled up Immediately, but did not en-
tirely escape. The shark snapped at hin
ae he assembled, and three toes were Ia
ken Off A little more and his foot woull
have gone, a stout boot only saved it
The happy thought of muddying tn
water saved his life.-Sdn Francisc

DOUBLE CATCH,
Love Making In IndIn.

The Lucknow Undia) Times relates
the retributive romance of certain gem
tleman who came to that place bringing
with him letters of introduction to several
people in moderate circumstances, with
whom he lived, and, having represented
himself as gentleman Of substance, be-
ing sole owner and possessor of one lakh
and fifty thousand rupees, was treated
with the utmost Difference and courtesy,
and, further, was permitted to gain the
affections of young lady, whose only
personal attraction appeared to be pro-
fusion of valuable jewelry, which she
constantly sported. The young lady ex-
planned that her father was an Extra
Assistant Commissioner, stationed at
something less than 4 thousand miles
from Canao, and posstssing an estate OF
unreasonable extent and incalculable val
ue, to which she was the heiress. A
match was very soon arranged, and the
young couple, as happy as
wealth and love combined could make
them were married, and left Lucknow on
their wedding tour a few days ago. And
here the tale, to be happy one, should
end; but. unfortunately, this is not the
end Of the tale The gentleman took his
bride to Buxar, where il turned out. that
he was engaged in the, truly delectable
and highly remunerative profession oil
fireman on the East India Railway,
drawing the munifcent salary Of forty
rupees month, and twas with feelings
of unutterable anguish that he feltit hi:
duty to inform the lady that the lakh and
q halfof rupees were in the hands of an i
other party who obstinately refused tc
give up the money on the ground of hi
being the rightful owner of it. The brid,
bore the disappointment with stoica
equanimity, and informed her husband
with unfeigned regret, that similar diff
6culty existed in regard to her father
estate near Canao. The estate was Their
oil right, of course, but it was encum
bered to such an extent that it was i'm
possible to get at it. The nature of tn
limcumbrance, too, was extremely peculiar
an old zemindsr had another estate o.

',e il off. And the whole of the valua
IT. 'swelry, which bad proved so excel

their common disappointment with
good grace. and are as happy as can b

The Destruction efrimber.

Where it will end no body knows.
Year by year We cut down our no longer
unmessured forests, and strip the land of
its woody wealth. Some one with q
weakness for figures tell us that there are
10000, 900 railway ties laid down'in the
