How HaIrpins Are Made.

Eairpins are made by automatic and
very complicated machines. The coiled
wire is put upon drums, and becomes
Strengthened as it feeds itself to the ma
chine. 1t passes along until it reaches
two cutters which point the ends at the
same time that they cut it to the length
required. This piece of wire then slips
along an iron plate until it reaches slot,
through which it is pressed into the regu-
lar shape. The hairpius are then put
into pan and japanned, after which
they are heated in an oven with tenn
perature of from 300 to 400 degrees.
There are but four American factories.
The largest are in Birmingham and
Waterbury, Conn.,, the others in Phila.
delphia and Brooklyn. Five hundred
thousand dollars worth of hairpins are
annually imported from England, France
and German New York World.

The Japanese Persimnlon.

The kaki. or japanese persimmon, OF
which there are many varieties, has
proved of value for the cotton growing
belt of the Southera States. In the
Southern States, however, the kaki
thrives better on seedlings OF the wild
persimmon than upon the japanese
roots. While as yet comparatively little
is known in the markets, the kski is
considered of sufficient Importance by
the National Department of Agriculture
to Justify assistance and encouragement
for its permanent establishment in this
country. a5 ~,
The range of cultivation in the Gulf
States is now defined for the varieties:
positively identified, extending from Key
West, Fla, to Augusta, Ga, and into
the Carolinas near the coast. AS far

Some varieties will remain sound until !
January or February. The flesh is soft,
rich and sweet, with slight apricot
flavor. There are many varieties OF the
persimmon raised in japan; some are
eaten IN fresh state; Others are used
for drying. Samples of dried persim-
mons have been sent from Japan, and
they are equal to the bes Smyrna hgs,

THE GODsTAD VIKING BOAT.

the pen of the distinguished artist, Mr..
Henry Elliott, from which drawing is
here given. The natives are crossing the
Bering Strait, pushing off from Dio-
medes for Cape Prince of Wales, on the
American side. The National Museum
possesses a nImber OF these Eskimo
umiaks. 1 can tell you how they are
made. In that cold land no good boat
timber grows, but the currents in the
Pacific Ocean bring driftwood, and the
natives harvest it with the greatest care.
They use no nails. If they had nails they
could not use them in driftwood. Be-
sides, in such cold country, the frost
would bite them in two like icicles. But
they have something much better in the
line OF fastenings. The Eskimo ship car
penrer makes up his frame of driftwood
by tying the bits Of wood together with
thongs Of walrus rawhide and draws over
it. a covering Of sealskin prepared in the
best manner to make the material tough
and keep out the water. This umiak we
may consider as the first ''Santa Maria. :"
It floats like an eggshell, and has great
sustaining power, holding family and
all their effects as they move from
place to place. This sort of navi.
CATION must have been going on

antiquity lower down the coast. MIR.

It does not matter whether or not all the
aborigines of this continent are the de-
scendants of those who first came over the
Arctic waters. That is not the point
now. The certain thing is that long

visiting this continent, and no doubt in

The Godstad boat, as pictured here. is

Godstad. She was entombed in cir
cular barrow, or burying place, resting
on her keel and decorated with shields
hung close together along the rails after
the Morse fashion down to quite recent
times. Abait her mast they had built
a mortuary chamber of logs with ga
bles of planks SET on end. In this "Davy
Jones's locker" were found the remains
of the dead. It was the custom then for
mariner to be buried in his boat. This
curious grave had been looted before

A Sandwriting Table.

The accompanying picture shows the
singularly primitive way in which writ
ing was taught in some places so recent
ly as sixty years ago. The saudwriting
table consists of plain board with a
ledge around it and resting upon legs.
Ordinary sand was placed upon the
board, aud with tie foreiuger the pupil
was taught 20 trace the letters upon the
sand.
When the table was full the charac-
tiers could be easily obliterated with
small, square boards, used for smooth
ing it over. The old man, Robert
Reevre by name, is now about eighty
years of age, and more than sixty years
ago he learned to write upon this very

The Original "Furn Coat"

Duke Emmanuel, of Savoy, who
reigned from 1868 to 1880, found him
self sorely tried in endeavoring to pre-.
serve his dominions from the aggres.
sions of the French on the one hand
and of the Spanish on the other, and in
the effort to prevent the absorption of
his territory by one or the other, was
compelled in turn to side with boEh.
His changes being frequent, he humor-
ously ordered a military coat made
which on one side was blue, the color of
the Spanish uniform, aud on the other
side white, the mark Of the French.
The coat was so made that either Uni.
form could be worn on the outside, and
thus he could accommodate himself to
circumstances. By liberal display OF
clever diplomacy-she frequent turning
of his coat-he saved his dominions and
gave to the world a new word.-Detroit
