Pineapple Cloth.

The finest pineapple cloth comes
from the Philippines, but very good
tissues are turned out wherever there
are Malays, and of late year oy Mon
eolians and other communities. The
thread is obtained from the pineapple
leaves in some curious way which sep
arates the fine tilament from all the
other vegetable tissues. 1t is then
partially dried and bleached in the
sun, and is then carded and spun.
After its spinning and before it Is
thoroughly dry, it is woven on the
old-fashioned looms, which ore busy
to-day in Asia. The technical skill
possessed by the spinners and weavers
is truly admirable. Men are too
clumsy for the work, and women have
practical monopoly of it, but even
among them there are many whose
eyes and fingers ne not quite delicate
enough to distinguish between the
thickness of one thread and another.
The weaving is done within doors and
usually in Malay house, whose bam-
boo framework, walls made of leaves
and heavy thatched roof, keep the in
terror quite dusty aud damp. When
produced the cloth is plain in color or
else made according to Malay tastes.
The finest quality of cloth is SO fine as
to be practically translucent, and
some tissues which were worth more
than their weight in silver would
stand successfully the test of the In
dian raiah, who would accept no clotl
unless he could draw the whole roll
through his signet ring.-Atlauta

Manufacturing Kairnins.

For ages the English and French
controlled the manufacture of hair
pins, and it is only within the last
twenty years that the goods have been
produced in other countries to any ex-
tent. The machinery usedis of del
icate and intricate character, as the
prices at which the pins are sold ne
cessitate the cheapest and most rapid
process, which can only be secured by
automatic machines, says Pearscr's
Weekly.
The wire is made expressly for the
purpose and put up in large coils,
which are placed in q clamp, and so
carried to the machine while being
strnightened. This machine cuts,
bends, and, by q delicate instantan-
eous process, sharpens the points.
Running at full speed it will turn out
100 hairpins every minute. To econ
omize, it is necessary to keep the en-
gines going day and night.
The difficult part of the work is in
the enameling, which is done By dip
ping the pms in o preparation and
baking in On oven. 1t is here that the
most constant and careful attention is
required, as the pins must be abso
lutely smooth and the enamel have a
perfect polish. The slightest parti.
cles of dust cause imperfections and
roughness.

Reproduction of Limbs.

It seems strange. to say the least,
that human being mustpass through
life as crippleif he ever has the mis-
fortune to lose leg or an arm. The
reader may not see anything peculiar
about the fact that an auputated limb
of human being never grows out
again, but to the editor of Notes for
the Curious it appears that such
provision might have been made for
the higher creatures just as well as for
those low down in the scale OF life. A
lobster's amputated claws will grow
out again, and crawfsh's eyes, il
clipped of, reappear in very short
time. Bennett, the French naturalist,
has amputated the legs OF tritons "a
species of lizard) and found that their
powers of reproducing such severed
members were almost unlimited. In
one case leg was reproduced twelve
times in single year and an eye cut
out was perfectly supplied with new
one within less than nine months.

Furs of Fabulous Cost.

There are some almost priceless fun
cloaks in existence, most Of them be-
longing to members of the Russian no.
bility. Mrs. John Mackay has sable
cloak valued ut $4,000, which con-
sists of 10, 900 small skins. The most
costly wrap of this kind is fur clonk
sent to the Empress Dagmar on her
coronation. 1t cost $50, 600, and weighs
only sixteen ounces. This was q pres
ent from city of Irkutsk, in Siberia.
The Duchess of Saxe-Coburg inherited
q magnificent cloak from her mother,
the late Empress of Russia. Judic,
the French actress, has o sable cloak
valued at $4,000. Other fortunate wo-
men in this respect are the Countess
Potoka, the Countess Greffulha and
the Duchess of Leuchtenberg, oil OF
Russia, the land of furs.

The First Money,

1t is difficult to realize that prior to
B. G. 700 there were no true coins,
that ingots or buttons OF gold and sill.
yer were weighed at every mercantile
transaction. The Lydians Of Asia
Minor are credited with having been
the first to cast and stamp with On Of
fieial device small oval gold ingots Of
definite fixed weight, an invention
strangely delayed, but of inestimable
Importance to industry and commerce.
A coin has been described as ga piece
of metal of fixed weight, stamped by
authority of government, and en-
ployed as o medium of exchange" J"
Medals, though struck by authority,
are only historical records and have
no currency value.
The bright, far-fashing intellect of
Greece saw the import OF the Lydian
invention and adopted it quickly, and
every Greek State, nearly every city,
island and colony, established mint,
generally at some one of the great
temples, for all early coin types are
religious in character. They bear
symbols of some god as pledge of
good faith. The offerings, tithes and
rents of the worshipers were coined
and circulated MS money. Temples
thus became both mints and banks.
Our word "money" is said to have
been derived from the Roman shrine
of Juno "Moneta" the earliest Latin
mint.
The first shape Of these early coins
was that of an enlarged cofeeberry,
punched on the rounded side with
official letters, OF sinkings, as they are
ca!led.-Good Words.

How AlIspice Grows.

The pimento or allspice tree is cul-
tivated in the West Indies and Jamai.
ca. This beautiful tree usually grows
to'a height Of about thirty feet; it
has a straight trunk, much branched
above, and covered with very smooth
brown bark. The leaves vary in size
and shape, but are always of shining
green color. During the months of
July and August the tree is i'll full
bloom, the blossoms consisting OF very
fragrant, small white flowers.
When a new plantation Of pimento
trees is to be formed, no regular SOW.
ing or planting takes place, because it
is next to impossible to propagate the
young plants, or to raise them from
seeds in different parts OF the country
where they are not found growing
spontaneously. Usually q piece OF
land is selected either close to plan
tation already formed, or in part OF
the woodland where pimento trees are
growing in q native state. The CHOSEN
piece of land is then cleared OF all
wood except these trees, and the felled
timber is allowed to remain OIL the
ground for the purpose of protesting
the very young pimento plants. !
At the end OF two yeprs the land is
thoroughly cleared, land only the most
vigorous pimento trees and plants are
left standing. The plants come to
maturity in about seven years.
In favorable seasons the pimento
crop is enormous, single tree often
yielding hundred or more pounds of
the dried spice. The berries are
picked while green, because if LETT on
the tree till ripe they lose their pun
gent taste and are valueless. The
green berries are exposed to the sun
for n week or ten days, when they lose
their green color and turn reddish
brown. When perfectly dry they are
put in bags and casks for expectation.
The oior md the taste of the pi.
mento berries are thought to resemble
a combination of those of cinnamon,
nutmeg and cloves-hence the famil-
lar name "allspico. ."-Philadelphia
Times.

Horn Books.

Some 155 horn books have been un-

the British Museum and eleven in the
South Kensington Museum. The horn
book was o small alphabet book, or
board of oak, of various dimensions,
on which were printed the alphabet,
nine digits and sometimes the Lords
Prayer. 1t had handle ard thin
sheet of horn in front to keep it from
soiling, and the back was sometimes
ornamented with rude sketch of St.
George and the dragon. A narrow

in position on the board. An alphabet
