cept that which pleases him best. Ac-
cording to n statement, when nails
were made by hand, the penny was
taken as a standard OF weight, and six
were made equal to the weight Of a
copper penny" This explanation is
open to criticism, on account OF the
very small size Of the nails. of which
six were needed to balance even the
large-sized. old-fashioned copper pen
ny. Others are much more probable.
One explanation holds that tenpenny
nails originally sold for tenpence a
hundred. and so on, the smaller nails
selling for the lower price. Another
explanation is that one thousand nails
of the tenpenny size used to weigh ten
pounds, n thousand of the sixpenny
size six pounds, and so for other sizes.
OF the ordinary sixpenny nails there
are eighty to the pound; of the eight
penny there are fifty: tenpenny, thirty

the impression is made by linking the
type with a brush; a thin absorbent
paper Is then laid upon the face of the
type and pressed lightly with a dry

which ink was transmitted to type.
This way OF taking IN impression
continued until about 1474, when pelt
balls were introduced. II in perfect"
order these would do good work. They
were made in the following way: A
piece Of strong grain pelt or skin was
selected, and from this the grease had
to be entirely removed. 1t was then
soaked IA or 10 hours and afterward
"curried' by drawing it across a post
until every particle of dampness had
gone. Then long treading by the feet
followed. Wool was wrapped under
the skin and the pelt was tightly
placed over, but the great difficulty OF
ness of the operation led to the intro
d%uction, about 1907, by Mr.. Maxwell
of Philadelphia, of the dressed sheep
skins or Skin rollers" as they were
called. But they, too. were abandoned,
being found too heavy for the hand.
About 1915 Mr.. Fanshaw of New York
introduced an improved roller made by
wrapping a blanket some eight times
around a piece Of wood three and a
half inches in diameter, turned true,
and with an iron spindle on each end.
The skin was then tightly wound
around the blanket and afterward
nailed to the wooden end. 1t was in

MRS. ADAIR'S APPEAL.

Mrs. Cornelia Adair. who Is now In
this country in the interests OF the
hospital ship Maine. which 1t may be
remembered was provided by American
women In England for the nursing OF
wounded British soldiers In the Boer
war. Is herself an American, being a
daughter of the late Gen. Wadsworth.
of Geneseo. N. Y. who fell at the battle
OF the Wilderness. The idea of fitting
out a hospital ship originated with q
Mrs. Blow, an American. and she, with
Lady Randolph Churchill, formed q
committee OF American women In
London to carry 1t out. The sum OF
$155, 900 was raised In a short time. Al
this juncture b. N. Baker. OF Baltimore.
Md, president of the Atlantic Trans
port company, offered the steamship
Maine and Its crew to the committee, to
be used as q hospital ship as long as
the war lasted. This gift represented
an outlay of between Sic. 900 and $780,
600 a month. To equip the vessel the
committee expended Sl25. 900, and as 1t
costs some Sic. 1000 a month to keep the
ship In service, Mrs. Adair. who In the
absence OF Lady Randolph Churchill.
Is the head OF the committee, comes
here to interest Americans In the work.
Mrs. Adair Is we'll known In the
fashionable society OF New York and
Newport. Her first husband was q Mr..
Richie. Of Boston. In 1867 she mar
ried John Adair, who vas n Of the
