1t is supposed that the negro race
either predominates in point of num-
bers IN Cuba, or at least nearly so: but
this does not appear to be the fact, for
just before the rebellion IL was esti-
mated b u there were less than half q
million OF this race on the island,
against over ~ million whites and about
$4,000 Chinese. OF the whites, the
native born, or Cubans, are by far the
best educated, but neither the mass OF
the Spanish residents nor the negroes
are cverburdened with scholastic
knowledge. There seems no doub,
that under proper government the

be OF more than ordinary proportions

ANTIQUITY OF PINS.

Pms are, us the saving goes, as old
as the hills. In some form or another
they have been in existence ever since
Il llrSt parents clothed themselves
III fig leaves, which grew wild in the
garden OF Eden. AS Il matter of fact ,
pins clanna very high antiquity, the
earliest form being the natural thorn.
which is still used to some extent bv
the peasant women of upper Egypt. IL
prehistoric times pins were also made
OF the small bones OF fish and animals.
llns in America made their first an.
pcarancc during the last century. In
lI'5a prize was offered by the colon
lists of Carolina, who Introduced the
hrst native pins and accdlcs. During
the war of 1872, when, owing to the
RESTRICTIONS upon commerce, the price
OF pms rose to 81 per paper, the manu-
lartlIre was ~actuall, started in the
United States, but does not seem to
nav met with success, as the enter.
PRISE was soon abandoned. The indus
Try was not fairly started in tins coun.
try until the year 1886.
Inc early pins in this country were
riadc with gloDular heads of fine twist
ed wire, made separately and secured
to The shank by compression from a
falling block and die. These old pins
had the misfortune of often parting
with their heads. 1t was to overcome
inns difficulty that the attention of the
early inventors was directed. The
solld-hcadcd pin in common use today
TOOK the place of the old form about
1870.
Before the introduction Of machinery
pins were made by manual labor in
such a way as to require their passage
through tho hands OF fourteen different
persons before completion. BY ma
chinH:y in use at the present time, it is
estimated that 100 pins are turned out
per minute. In England, 10000. 900
pins are made daily, Of which 81 ,OOO,-
600 are made in Birmingham alone.
Conneclicllt is the center of the indus

y hen compared with that Of the mar
ond run of the broad tires in the same
track where the rut is not deep COM
plctcly eliminated this disadvantage,
and showed a lighter draft for the
broad tire than the narrow tire showed
in the first run. Where the ruts we're
eight lmhcs deep with rigid walls, three
runs of the broad tire IN its w track
over the ruts were required to eliminate
the disadvantage. Three runs of the
broad tire V c this track have in all
cases been sufficient, however, to SO
improve the road surface that both the
broad and narrow tired wagons passed
ovcr this road with less draft than the
narrow tires did in the original ruts.
In addition to the saving of draft, the
road was made very much more com.
Portable and pleasant for the @sers OF
light vehicles and pleasure carriages
by the few run of the siX-irch tire.
Summing up all the tests on dirt roads
it appears that there are but three con
dltions on which the broad tires draw
heavier than the narrow tires /; namely
CD when the road is SLOPPY, muddy
or sticky on the surface and firm o.
hard underneath {; (2) when the sur
face is covered with a very dccr loose
dust and hard underneath f; (3) whel
the mud is very deep and SO stick,
that it adhcrcs to the wheels Of boil
kinds of wagons.
Through II majority of days in tn
year and at times when the dirt road
are most used, and when their use i
most imperative, the broad tired wac
ons pull materially lighter than mario,
tired Wagons.
a. a large number of tests on mead
ows, pastures, stubblc-land, corn
ground aud plowcd ground in ever
condition, from dry, hard and firm t
very wet ami soft, show withou. a siu
Gle exception Il large difference in drat
in favor of the broad tires. THIS differ
cncc ranged from seventeen to on
hundred and twenty per cent.

earned prominence Of being one of the

But since the horrible affair of last
Sunday, its existence has been almost
completely wiped out. Never before
In any similar catastrophe has destruc-
tioh bee more thorough.
While in the frightful wreck at
Johnstown, Pa, the aggregate amount
OF damage wrought by the invading
HOOD was much greater than the ag
gate amount of damage wrought by the
overflow OF the Ohio river at Shawnee
town, ILL.,, still it appears from the
best Information which can be obtained
that the per capita amount Of damage in
the latter case is much greater than
the per capita amount Of damage in
the former case. La comparison with
the tragic loss of life and property AT
Shawneetown, H., most battles possess

WIDE AND NARROW TIRES.
Bulletin Missouri Experiment Station.

Bulletin Missouri Experiment Station.
Numerous tests of the draft of wide
aud narrow tired wagons have been
made at this station during the past
two years, en- macadam, gravel and dirt
roads in all conditions, and on mead.
ows, pastures and plo@cd fields, both
wet and dry, Contrary to public en-
pcctation, in a large majority of cases
the draft was materially less when tires
six inches in width were used than when
the tests were made with tires of
standard width-one and one-half
inches. The following is a summary
of the results
l. On macadam street, as an aver.
age of the two trials made, a load uf
2,5lS pounds could have been hauled
on the bead tires with the same draft
that a load of 1000 pounds required
on the narrow tires.
2. Gravel road. In all conditions of
the gravel road, except wet and sloppy
on top, the draft of the broad tined
wagon was very much less than that of
The narrow tired wagon. Averaging
the six trials, a load of 2,4S2 pounds
could be hauled OF the broad tires with
the same draft required for a load of
1000 pounds on the narrow tires.
3. Dirt roads, (a) When dry, hard
and free from ruls ard dust, 2,53O
pounds could have been hauled on the
broad tires with the same draft required
Tor 900 pounds on the marrow tires.
(D) When the surface was covered
with twJ or three inches of very dry,
loose dust, the results were unfavor-
able to the broad tire. The du I on
the road in each of these trials was I'M
usually deep. Co On clay road, mud

underneath. the results were uniformly |
to the broad tires. Cd Ga
clay road, with mud deep, and drying
on top, or dry on top and spongy I'M
d~crneath, n large number of tests show
uniformly favorable to the broad
tire. In this condition of road the
broad tires show TO their greatest adj
vanlage. As the road dries and he.
comes lirmer, the difference between
the draft of the broad an narrow tires
gradually dilminishes until 1T reaches
about twenty-five to thirty per cent.
on dry, hard, smooth dirt, gravel or
road, in favor of the broad

becomes softer and deeper, the differ

DID Nor RECOGNIZE HER.-Some
trouble had occurred between the teller
OF a Pittsburg bank and his best girl.
Both were very proud and high.spirit-
ed, and the young lady insisted upon
repeating to the teller that he must
never AGAIN speak to her; that he
mould never recognize her under any
circumstances, and that II he did so
she would consid r it an insult. The
teller was greatly offended. He long
ed Tor revenge, and u few days later he
had 1t.
While shopping down town the
young lady became short of money
She kept a small amount at an East
End bank, but the money was needed
at once. So she tripped lightly into
the teller's bank, filed out her check
for q few dollars, and presented 1t to
her erstwhile escort.
