Na.ura, Bridges in America.

The Natural Bridge is always spoken of as
II there were but one, and such Is unques-
tionably the general impression. Everybody
knows about the bridge in Rockbridge
county, Virginia, but very few know that
there are other natural bridges in the repub-
lie. Nor is it strange, for they are in re-
mote, inaccessible neighborhoods, very sell
dom visited and almost never mentioned in
print. One bridge is in Walker county,
Alabama. 1t spans about 100 feet is some
seventy feet high, and is said to be fully
equal to the famous bridge in virginin. In
the sandstone that underlies the coal forma-
ton, it is the centre Of n widely romantic
region, lofty, precipitous sides of the same
sandstone being visible on the surrounding
hills. In Christian county, Kentucky, is
another bridge having span of seventy
feet and a height of 1870. California boasts
of five of these curiositics, the largest being
on a small creek emptying into a fork Of the
Trinity River, where vast ledge of rock
crosses the valley. The creek runs under
the ledge through an arch twenty feet high
and of eighty feet span. In siskyou county,
on Lost River, are two conglomerate sand
stone bridges, so close together that they are
often called the Twins. In Tuolumne coun-
ty, on Coyote creek, are also two bridges,
within half mile Of one another, some
forty feet high, and having span Of 200 to
300 feet. Thus there are eight natural
bridges in all, and probably others that have
not been discovered.

History OF These Useful Toilet Access.
mnNkea


In IT'S the attention of the colonies was
called to the manufacture Of pins and
needles, as prizes were offered for the frst
of native make, hut the successful manufac-
ture of pins in this country wasn't known
until 1886, although in 1924 Lemuel W.
Wright, an American, secured in England a
patent for pin making machine.
The growth has been steady, and to-day
pins are made by the ton in England and
America. After the invention of Mr..
Wright's machine the price fell enormously
and in the War of 1912 the price had gone
away up. There is still an importation an.
nually from England, but great many are
manufactured in Massachusetts.
Areporter recently went out to the pin
factory to learn something more about
the pointed little article Jumping off the
street car just beyond the wagon works, the
reporter walked down the street and passed
two large buildings lit up with electric light
The manager was found in the office.

said the reporter. "How many do you
In those two factorys you just passed
we make 100000 pins per day, and we
sell them nearly all west of the Ohio River
In Chicago we sell 100000 pins per day,
and the rest go to st. Louis, Kansas City
Cincinnati, Louisville, Nashville, Cleve.
land, indianapolis and other cities. We
have been running two years and are now
running twelve and one-half hours daily,
working fifty-two and fifty-three hands. As
for pins, however, here comes the greatest
pin man In America, and he can tell you
what you want. Mr.. Fontaine, here is o
reporter who wants to know something
about pins"
In response to question he said 1.-THE
manufacture Of pins in this country began
really about 1884, when they made pins at
the rate of thirty per minute, for 1t was in
that year that DIR. Howe, Yankee of Water.
bury, Conn. invented the. solid. headed pin.
Before that the head had been merely a
little wire roll. Naturally, DIR. Howe's in
vention revolutonized the manufacture of
pins and the business grew. The improve
ments since then have been increasing the
facilities for making pins faster. Brass
wire liz used in good pins, but in cheaper
goods steel wire is used. The difference
between now and 1884 is that we can nov
make pins at the rate of 400 per rlinute.
This is the fastest work ever done in the
making. They are stuck in the paper at
the rate of 2,7o0 per minute; that is, each
machine works that fast. So you sec pins
are handled very rapidly
"You say there is still an importation of
English pinsf"
"Yes, but not because the quality Is any
better. The duty is thirty per cent, but
even IL that duty were removed they could
not bring pins here and sell them as cheap
as we can. The English pins are no better
than the American article, but are in the
old-fogy style. The reason they sell Ia be-
cause they are English. "-Toledo Blade.

To Reduce Their weight.

II see," said my friend, I" that Archer's
typhoid fever is laid to severe training.
have no doubt that it was so caused. In tho
latter end of the racing season jockeys have
a very hard time keeping down to their
weights, and many of them have to resort to
means to do SO that are very trying. Now,
Mclaughlin at Washington this fall ate
barely enough to sustain life and spent near
ly every morning in Turkish bath. OF
course such regimen keeps a mans system
very weak and makes him extremely sus-
ceptible to malarial attacks. Ihaye no doubt
that Archer caught the fever in just this way
rs he had a very hard time keeping down to
his riding weight during the past season.
The celebrated Bobby Swim, at Mobile, once
on time was offered $500 to ride horse
the next day he weighed and found that he
was ten pounds too heavy. Nothing daunted,
he accepted the offer and then went to work
to reduce himself to proper weight He
drenched himself freely with epson salts
and, enveloped in blanket, lay all night
on the hearth of an old-fashioned fireplace
in which rousing FIRE had been bnilt. All
night long he sweat and almost roasted. Half
an hour before the race was called he had
rid himself of his superfuous avoirdupois,
but he was 80 weak he had to be lifted into
the saddle. Nevertheless he won the race.
No man can take liberties like this with his
system and not suffer in consequence. Bobby
drank freely, and he now sleeps in pre-
mature praye.p

vice tn various Rooms.
In regard to the color of carpets the fol-
lowing rule may be laid down; For drew.
ing rooms, parlors and bedrooms, while
loud and glazing hues should be avoided,
We may nevertheless allow ourselves liberal
sprinkling of crimson, dead gold, russell
brown and all the beautiful tints that nature
distributes through the landscape in the
autumn days. In the drawing room, es-
pecially, there should be warm, rich hues to
correspond with our oil paintings in their
gilded frames, our mirrors and old china, or
whatever Of art work, with its wealth of
color, we chance to possess. In our bed
rooms we want bright tints to preserve cheer
fulness, and to avoid too glaring contrast
with our white counterpanes and muslin
draped toilet tables and windows, In the
library, sober hues must be chosen to har-
monte with walnut bookcases desk and
writing table, and the sober dress wherewith
publishers clothe books that are to stand the
wear and tear of use and time. In halls and
dining rooms, also, only quiet eolors should
appear.
The pattern of carpet should always de.
pend upon the size of the ROOM The form
should be fiat, without any attempt at shadow
or relief. Some of the most beautiful de-
signs furnished by our manufacturers are
found among the Administer carpets, and
these, though expensive, are at once the
most desirable and most serviceable for large
apartments. These carpets were first intro
duced in 1855. The warp and wool are of
strong linen, and the soft tufts of wool in
which the design is worked are admirably
adapted to the display Of delicate and Ella
borate pattern, The varied greens of ferns
and MOSES can be made to appear, and
every detail of leaf and spray worked out
For those who consider Administer carpets
beyond the limits of their purse the velvet
pile is very desirable and makes perfectly
satisfactory covering for parlor floor. An
excellent general rule would be, where the
home is not very psetentious and the income
moderate, velvet carpet for the parlor,
Brussels for the hall and stairs, dining room
and spare bedroom the rest of the house
being modestly restricted to ingrains or mat
ting.
There is one essential to all satisfactory
floor covering. 1t should naver be omitted.
That is, the sponge or cotton carpet linings
chemically prepared, SO rs to prevent the
incursions Of moths. This can always be
procured for fifteen or twenty cents per
square yard, and not only does It add to the
