Kate and Lill were room mates and

side in the city. The man she married
is just as nice rs lie can be but he is one
of the most bashful men on Ell th. A

The next morning the family received
4 telegram stating that Lii would

MISTER PIN
AND LADY NEEDLE

A pin and needle, being neishbors
in work basket, and both being idle
folk, began to quarrel, as idle folk are
apt to do.
''I should like to know" said the pin
''what you are good for, and how you
expect to get through the world with
ont head"
What is the use of your head" re-
piled the needle, rather sharply, "if
you have no eye?'
"What is the use of an eye" SAID the
pin, ''if tn, re is always something in

through h more work than you can,'' said
the needle.
Yes, but you will not live long, Le
cause you have always stitch in the
side, said The pin.
"You are poor, crooked creature,
said the needle.
"And you are so proud that you can't
bend without breaking your back.
81 Il pull your head off if you insult
me again"
"I'll pull your eye out if you touch
me; remembea your life hangs on sim
gle threid,' said the pin.
While they were thus conversing a
little girl entered, and, undertaking o
sew, she very soon broke off the needle
at the ey>. She then tied the thread
around the neck of the pin and attempt
ed to. sew with it, and pulled its head
of and threw it mo the dirt by tthsz-.
side Of the broken needle.

1--WE have nothing to fight about

fortune has brought us to our senses"
"a pity we had not come TO them

MARLBOROUGH, FRIDAY. JUNE 80, 1e9

The use of parchment and papyrus,
however, called for more flexible pen
than eth I the bodkin or the sty lus, so
reed pens were invented. For making
these pens peculiar kind Of reed was
used, which was shaped to a point and
split, similar to the y, rs now in use.
In A. ID. 553 it was discovered that
quills made much better pens than
reeds. The quil,s of the goose, the
swan, and the crows were used prlncl-
pally. Several centuries later, when
writing paper was introduced into Eng
land, the quill was still the favorite
writing instrument However, the
quill pens had been greatly improved
and those from Russia and Holland
were excellent.
In the early part Of the present CEN
tury there was a demand for some
thing better and more durable than
quill pens Accordingly Il great many
experiments were made with horn, glass,
tortoise she'll, and finally with steel,
silver, and COL 1t was soon found
that pens made OF horn and tortoise
shell sof,ened under the action of the
ink, and were not so good as quill pens.
Nor were the silver pens very good.-
They were to elastic and too easily worn
at the points.
In 1903 steel Was tried in Wise's bar
rel pens, but being poorly made and
very expensive they were not Il success.
At Birmingham in 1920, the manutac-
ture of steel pens began in earnest, and
they proved to be excellent The first
gross of steel pens sold in Birmingham
brought about eight shillings at whole
sale.
They were soon manufactured in
great numbers and have been getting
better and cheaper all the time, until
now we can buy for Il trife the best
steel pen made. Europe has always
eXcelled in the manufacture of steel
pens, and America is noted for the
Manufacture of gold pens.

THE RAIN-SONG OF THE ROBIN.

Oh. the ran-song of the robin. How it thrills
my heart to hear
The rain-song of the robin in the summer of
the yeaI
How long for wings to join him where his
carol poureth free,
And for words to beg the secret of his magic
ministrelsy
Does he sing because he revels in the fury of
the Storm
In the thunder and the lightning does he find
a ridden charm?
Or with prophet eye, enraptured, does he see
the darkness past,
And the beauty which shall blo3s IN when the
clouds disperse at last?
When Thy rain on me drscendeth, and Thy
clouds about me ROLL
Grant, o God, the power of singing to my tenn
pes shaken soul,
May see Thy mercy shining far behind the
outer gloom,
May hear Thine an gels chanting May | see
Thy lilies bloom,

RE on BODkINS TO PENS.

Sharp pointed bodkiLs made of
bronze, of eel, or of IRON, were the
first pens, and they We're used for cut
ting out lett'r Is and hierogIyphics in
the limestone, or Steatit@ of Eastern
countries. Such pens We're also used
for writing on AssyrlaI tablets The
tablets We're made IF soft clay, and at
ter reclv'ng irscrip We're rled IN
the sun or baked in tbs fire.
In the far f lst and in Egypt the
camel's- s-hair pencil soon took the place
of the metal bolkln. With the pencil
letters were painted on the skins of
animals and the bark of trees. in much
the same manner that the Chinese draw
them on paper at he present day.
In Persia Greece, and Syria wax and
ltaden tablets clme into use, and the
stylus became the popular pen. The
stylus was made Of bone, ivory, or met
al, with one end pointed and the other
tlattened. The tlattencd end was used
to erase errors made in writing.

THE ING HEST TO WER
IN THE WORLD.

At Wembly Park, which is about six
miles from the heart Of London, there
is IN the course of erection at the pre-
sent time tower the total height OF
which will be | $50 feet-175 feet hi igh-
er than the Eiilel Tower. Unlike the
later tower, which gaZes down on the
houses and roofs of the crowd d city,
the Wembly Tower, crowns an emil
nence of the beautiful Wembly Park,
atIording lovely view of the surround
ing country.
1T will be Il strange sight to look on
the birds flying in the trees so far be-
meath one, for at the foot of the tower
is famous rookery, where the rocks
gather and chatter from moring till
night, and also one of the old iyy-cov-
cred English cottages which has stood
there for over a hundred years. A few
years ago the building Of such towers
rs these would have been impossible.
1t is only with new methods of hand
ling steel and iron girders that such
structures can be successfully put up.
Over $50 men are now employed fitting
pieces of the tower together, and it is
wonderful what rapid progress they
make.
The foundations which have to sup
port such tremen dous weight above
them, have to be lald in place, and
kept there for Il long time, to allow for
the settling in the earth. There are
four legs at the base, and each leg is
composed Of four smaller legs, or, bet
ter, feet. These rest on tremendous
foundations that were placed in posi-
ton over two years ago. These foun-
dations are made of stone and concre' e,
upon which are fastened the iron plates
to which the legs are attacked.
The material Of which th4 tower
proper is composed Is called mild
steel There is not such II network of
intricate little girder5 which We see in
the EilftI Tower; the spaces are more
open, and the tower appear t. be mar
rover and lighter in tn, air. The <lilts,'
us they clli them in Eng or the
elevators. us we clll them here, which
are to carry the people to the top Of
the observatory, are four in number
Two of them 90 up to the first plat
form onIy, which is at ii height of $50
feet from the ground, and two will go
up to 600 feet, where there Is TO be an
upper landing. Above this t''ere will
be several smaller landings, to b. re lch-
ed by stairs only.-Hnpers Iou"y

One of the easiest and most trust
worthy modes of determining whether
a supposed diamond is genuine or false
is us follows: Pierce hole IN a card
with a needle or pin, then look at it,
using the stone as lens. If the sup
posed diamond is genuine, you will see
but one hole; if false, two will appear.
With an imitation one you may also
see the liue on the skin of your finger,
with the true gem you cannot.

1t Is a Curious Product of Near at
Hand Natural Materials.
To know something of the products of the
forest, at any rate, such products as are
employed by the natives, Ole must examine
a Malagasy hut in the neighborhood. The
walls are probably built of bamboo beaten
out fat Tor occasionally of long fattened
pandanus leaves The floor being Of the same
material; the roof most probably consists OF
the large bananalike leaves of the travellers
tree, overlapping one another, the whole be-
ing fixed to a framework of round poles and
fastened together with the stem OF some
tough climbing plant. The very water pot
is not a pot at all, but a long bamboo hve or
six feet in length and four or five inches in
diameter, with all the partitions except the
bottom one knocked out.
In a corner of the hut may probably be
seen a quantity of honey in a portion of a
tree trunk followed out. The mortar in
which the rice is pounded is also part of a
trunk similarly followed out. Hanging
from the roof is the anchor-shaped mahatia,
part of a small forked branch of a tree an
inch or two in thickness, with the side
branches cut off within three or -four inches
of the stem at the end, and hung SO that the
prongs point upward. This is used instead
of pegs on which to hang various articles.

Murderer Allenberger Of Age
Today-An Appeal May

Bernard A~ltenbergrr Is today twenty.
one years old, and he is celebrating the
| event as agreeably as possible In his
necessarily limited quarters. The Rev. A,
4. Meury called on him during the morn
ing and presented him with some flow
ers ard cake. and had a long serious
talk.
As the days pass by. the murderer re.
allies more and more the enormity OF
his crime, and the certainty that his exc
cution for it will take place. He is fast
losing the air OF bravado that
ha 5 distinguished his conduct
come in daily contact with him say they
believe that he will completely break
down on September G., the day set for
the execution. He has been told by all
who have visited him that he will GER
tainly be hanged on that day and to
prepare for it.
Mr.. PEsHALL MAY INTERVENE.
One day during this week Counsellor
Friend of the firm of Friend & House,
New York, the German consul and G.
J. Peshall held a consultation in New
York regarding Altenberger, and his case
known what result was reached
One of the above nnwittingly let out
before a News reporter that by next
week some action will be taken. The
ground for interference is that Alien
berger is a German citizen, and that the
tilted that a son of the Fatherland was
in the tolls. Another is hat the trial
was full of errors, and the exceptions
taken by counsel are sufficient to cause
a stay for a writ of error Whether
fore the Circuit Court of the Untted
States before whom the application will
be made remains to be seen.
