This is a story which Representative Eddy,

NOR which leads him to start the laugh some
times himself:
In making the campaign in my district
one year, said Mr.. Eddy, Il took along as
an attraction veteran of the war of 1872
and of the civil war who was famous hand
at beating the drum. He was a drummer
from away back and could arouse a whole

TWENTY MILLIONS A DAY.
The Number of Pins That Are USED
by the People of Amer
len.

1t requires an average of more than
100000 pins per day to sustain the
falling skirts. replace the missing sus-
bender buttons and meet the other
needs of the American people. What
becomes of all these pins is a question
hat nobody has been able to answer,
cut there is no falling off in the de-
nand. so that this number must dis
appear in some manner every day.
1t is hard to imagine anything sim
bier than pin, and it is a striking proof
IF the complications of our modern
industrial system that every pin in the
course of its manufacture passes
through dozen separate processes,
involving the greatest skill on the
part of the operatives employed and
the action of a great amount of au-
tomato machinery.
The pin makes its appearance at the
factory in the form of barrels of coiled
brass wire. The first process is that
of Strengthening this wire. The coils
are placed on revolving racks, and fed
from these into little machines. from
the viselike grip of which they emerge
perfectly straight. Thence the wire
fed into the pinmaking machine,
which is almost as complicated as
printing press. A sharp knife cuts the
wire off into uniform lengths of the de-
sired size. AS each little length of
wire drops from the knife it falls upon
small wheel, the edge of which is
notched into grooves just large enough
to hold the bits of wire.
Each piece is carried along by the
wheel until an iron finger and thumb
seize and hold it firmly, while an au-
.omatic hammer. by a single smart
blow, puts a head on one end. Then
the embryo pin falls upon another
grooved wheel, which revolves hori-
zontally. AS they move on in the clasp
of this second wheel the projecting ends
pass over a number of circular steel
files, which neatly grind them to a
point. Further on they encounter a
pumice stone, which smoothes off the
filed ends, and then they drop into a
wooden receiving box. So far no work
mans hand has touched the pins in
their progress from the reel. The cut
ting, heading, pointing and smoothing
has all been done by the wonderful au-
| tomato machinery.
From the wooden boxes the pins go
to the whitening" room. where they
are cleaned in revolving barrels filled
with sa%dust and receive n nickel coat
ing in big watts. Then they are dried
in the sawdust barrels and are run
through sorting machine. 1t is
impossible to get the better of this
machine.
The big department stores and
wholesale dealers buy their pins by
the case. \ case contains 1Os dozen pa
pers, 800 pins in each paper. A single
order from the largest stores usually
calls for 100 eases. or nearly 10000, DOC

ODD FACTS ABOUT ECLIPSES.

From the New York Journal
An unnatural chill comes into the
air.
Chickens go to roost as the darkness
approaches.
Birds flutter about in CONSERVATION
and seek their nests.
Beasts of prey grow ferocious and
attack human beings boldly.
People are nervous and excited,
while children cling to their mothers
in fright.
Dogs run to their masters and cover
and whine piteously between their
outbursts of yelping.
Such natural sounds as waterfalls
and the whistling of the wind seem
excessively loud and alarming.
Cows go home from pasture. They
stop chewing their cuds and sniff the
air as if fearing a great storm.
Ignorant and superstitious people
have an abject fear of some great ca
lamity, they know not what.
Horses in harness are frightened at
familiar objects, and those loose in
the fields run about distractedly.

The Cheapening Telegraph.

The increase in the use of the tela-
graph for business purposes has been
accompanied by steady reduction in
the cost of messages. When the first
Atlantic cable was laid the price of 4
2O-word message between London and
New York was 500. of five dollars per
word. Now the commercial rate be-
tween the two cities is % cents per
word To telegraph ten words from
Chicago to New York in 1866 cost $2.05
Now it costs 40 cents. Telegraphing
to distant parts of the world is stiI
an expensive business. The rate per
word for message from San Fran
cisco to Auckland, for example, is
S2.S7. From New York to Manila the
rate is $245 The charge is not al
ways in ratio to the distance. The
rate from New York to South Ameri-
can or West Indian ports is nearly
two dollars per word, but in reaching
these points the messages travel twice
across the Atlantic.-Ainslee's Maya.

BEAUTIFUL BUILDINGS.
Ten That Are the abandonment in the
United States According to
Popular Taste.

An interesting vote has been recent
~ taken by a Boston publication, the
Brochure Series, as to the ten most
beautiful buildings now existing in the
United States. The voters, it is stated.
were mostly architects or students of
architecture, and the number of lists
sent in was more than 200. Here are
the ten winning buildings. with the per-
centage of votes cast in their favor:
/. National capitol, Westinghouse

=. Public library, Boston-97 per
cent
3. Trinity church, Boston-96 per
cent.
4. Congressional library Washing
ton--75 per cent.
j. Columbia University library. New
York-75 per cent.
6. Trinity church, New York-55 per
cent.

s. ST. Patrick's cathedral, New York
-35 per cent.
0. Biltmore house. North Carolina
30 per cent.
10. City hall, New York-29 per cent.
1t is interesting to compare this list
with the results of a similar contest
set on foot Is years ago by the Amer
lean architect, and to note that only
three buildings appear in both lists.
The 1885 list. giving the names in order
of popularity, was:

Unique wedding Present.

Most people know of the peculiar cir

Stevenson won his wife. But even
more romantic and astounding was the
unique wedding gift he got with her.
When Stevenson met his future fate
at BarbiZon, a famous artists resort
near Paris, she was the wife of Mr..
Osborne, an Oakland gentleman. The
friendship thus formed led Stevenson
to pay visit to California. He arrived
at Monterey in Il dying condition, but
the loving care of Mrs. Osborne and
her sister, Nellie Van der Grift, gradu-
ally won him back to life. The nurs-
ing completed his infatuation for the
lady-an infatuation which he did not
pretend to conceal. Fortunately Os-
borne raised no objections. He not
only agreed to the divorce, but with a
magnanimity rarely excelled actually

he found his opportunity.

was the positive loss OF her son, Lloyd

claims that Norfolk is still pars of the
