PIN POINTS.

IT is evident that pins have been regard
ed as of little value for many years, for the
immortal bard makes Hamlet, the Prince Of
Denmark, declare that he does not value his
life at pins fee.
EXAMPLES of antique pins and OF brooches

have been the opportunity tor the display
of considerable artistic ingenuity.

man and woman first felt the desi.s to
shield their bodies. First as the natural
horn it came into being, and the thorn
seems to hare given the pin its shape when
later they were made from bronze, iron and
brass.
FRENCH pins furnished the bulk of such
as were used in England until 1926, when
the manufacture of pins was introduced
into Gloucester, where it thrived rapidly. In
1886 the London pin manufacturers formed
a trust and began manufacturing in Bristol
and Birmingham.
In 1883 the use of pins in England had be-
come so common that their manufacture
was local industry, and the lawmakers
proceeded to check inventive genius by
prohibiting their Importation In 1910, how
ever, the law nau paSSeu into uisuSe, auO
French pins were imported.
In 1913 the English Parliament passed an
act providing that "no person shah put to
sale any pinnes but only such as shall be
double headed, and have heads soldered
fast to the shank OF the pnnes, well
sn1oothed, the shank well shapen, the
points well and round filed, canted and
sharpened."
THE first pins made in this country seem
TO have been made in the colony of Caro-
lima in IT'S. but it was 1886 before their
manufacture in the United States could be
called successful. The beautiful automatic
machinery by which pins are made to-day,
and the no less intricate machinery by
which the pins are stuck into papers, are
wonderful, when comparison is made be-
tween the present and former methods Of
manufacture,

He was also the author of the remarkably
popular song on the coast in these times
"The days Of old, the days Of gold,
The days of forty-nine."
Smith called the play, alluded to, ''The
Plains,'' and it was an excellent piece Of
work of its kind then. What the dramatic
art of Crawford & Co. may have done for i,
since deponent saith not.
Smith came to California in the gold-dig
ging times, and in 1861 joined the Union
army as private soldier, and rose to the
rank of Captain. His command served alto
gether on the Pacific coast among the In
dams of Washington Territory, Oregon,
California and Arizona.

said he is one of the best drawing stars on

John Woodland that he wanted "piece u

DEATH OF AN UNKNOWN.

was in semi-nude condition. She was

the deceased came to her death from
