AN ENGRAVING FREAK.
Entire Alphabet in Old English Let
tering Placed n Pins Head
by Patient Worker,

There is a man in Philadelphia who
wears a commonplace-look little
pin as a watch charm. To the naked
eye it is not different from the mil
lions of other pins. Yet it's head is
a masterpiece of the engraver's art,
for on it is engraved the English al
phabet in old English lettering, and
in the center is cut the year when it
was done, 1000"
The naked eye cannot distinguish a
scratch on the pins head but pow
,erful magnifying glass, such as is
used by matchmaker, reveals the let
tiers of the alphabet in proper order
around the edge of the head, and per-
fectly formed.
There was on exhibition at the
Paris exposition last year marvel of
iiliputian work, the writing of the
Lords Prayer on paper one-eighth of
an inch square. This was done by
Fred Swarts Brink, penman of Phila-
'delphia. He regarded it as the finest
work of the kind ever done, but when
he saw the. engraving on the pins head
he confessed that he had been out
done. He bought the work of the
engraver, August Starcke, for trifle

realized before how big and terrible
he would look! For moment he
almost wished they were back in the

jacket at the back; and Duke

back stood erect.
The panther surveyed the scene with
a calmneSs and elaboration calcu-

and of advancing. Vernon was sud
denly seized by strong temptation
to fire. But he knew that to miss
the right spot by so much as an inch
might be fatal-he dared not move,
and the line of the moonlight on the
ground before him was still three
feet away! 1t was a trying moment.
Then the panther began to ad-

Vernon felt his flesh begin to creep

All visitors to Belgium are familiar
with the little carts carrying fruit,
milk or vegetables and drawn by one
or more powerful-looking dogs. In
former days dogs were much more
used for draught purposes than they
are now. A well-known character who
was known as "Old Lal,' used to race
the coaches on the North road running
out of London with a team of dogs.
He constructed for himself a sort of
blackboard and had harnessed to it
four foXhounds, who would cover long
distances at great pace. Later one
Dumsdale used to appear on the high
ways and race the coaches with a
small wooden cart. Sometimes the
dogs would cover 70 miles an hour,
though their natural pace YVES about
seven miles an hour. Dumsd;:le's ia

to Brighton and back, a distance of As
miles. He would make the journey
in "a hours, including stoppages for

were soon made to the police that
the bears scared horses and provoked

drive his team in the city. He then
started a team of trained wolves, but
again the police objected to his dis

MISTAKES THAT PAID WELL.
Errors That brought Grcnt Profit to
the Persons Who Made
Them,

Mistakes do not always turn out to
work to the detriment of those who
make them; sometimes they are gold
en- and put pretty penny in the pock-
cts of the blunderors. When Orme
won the Eclipse stakes at Sandown
eight years ago the prince of Wales
sent his friend Mr.. Courthope to lay
bet on a horse called Orvieto. Mr..
Courthope misunderstood the name
and placed the princes money on
Orme. When Orme came in good
winner the prince thought, of course,
he had lost, instead of which he had
won $4,000, says the New York Sun.
A lucky mistake was that which re-
suited in the opening of the famous
Niersfontein gold mine in South AZ
RIGA and the making of $30,000,0O0. 1t
was an error that saved a score OF
people from ruin and made wealthy
men of them, for the original inten-
ton of 90 poor men who were seeking
fortune was to buy mine called the
Rensnek farm. The prospectors who
examined this farm found that it
gave great PROMISE OF Il Tlcn mine, ana
they commissioned an agent to buy it
for $4,000. The agent, however, got
mixed and made hopeless blunder
through not knowing his district well.
He bought another place called Niers-
fontein for the prospectors, and the
money was paid over before the dis
mayed gold seekers found they were
let in for place they did not want.
They refused to accept the deal, but
the money had been paid and retrac-
ton was impossible. Worst of all.
some outside people profted by the
error and snapped up the coveted
Rensnek.
Before going to law to repudate
the transaction the little company had
a look at the despised Niersfontein
place, and, on giving a trial to it, they
found it worth while to hang on. The
other place-the Rensnek-gave out
within a fortnight and ruined the COM
pany which had bought it, while Niers-
fontein became a magnificent mine
and has yielded over S30,00O,O00.

How Human Skin Is Shed.

Man sheds his skin just as thor
oughly as some of the lower orders of
creation. but he does it more slowly
and imperceptibly. The cells which
compose the lower strata of the cpl
dermis are perpetually renewed and
push upward, and the outer laver
must be constantly removed. This
process, which is termed dcsquama-
ton, is absolute requisite to the
health and beauty of the skin. The
more rapidly this process is carried
on the more clear and transparent
becomes the epidermis and the more
roseate and velvety the skin tissues
which are constantly forming below.

The panther had stopped. He

is the title of an article in recent

Hough. and the scene is laid in the

At this moment the full moonlight
fell upon the tree-top and bathed it
in a mellow radiance which at once
revealed the outline of the panther
powerful form crouching close along
the tree-trunk; and even lit up the
tawny yellow of his skin. Instantly
the great beast showed his dislike OF
the exposure by creeping farther on
among the branches. heralding the
move by half-suppressed angry
snarl.
Vernon was glad of the moments
respite in which to think. He ar.
gued that the lion would not venture
a leap direct to the ground-a
straight fall of 20 feet-but would
first descend the tree-trunk part way
and then make his spring. He had
already taken his stand near the

slant danger, but at no time was ho
nearer death than when he was held
under the claws of a huge lion. In
1910 DR.. Livingstone went to South
Africa as a missionary and was To-
Gated in a Bechuana village in the.
northern part of the present division
of Cape Colony. de lived there nine
years before he began his expeditions
into the unexplorcd regions farther
north.
At one time, while living at this
post, the cattle of the village were
greatly harassed by lions and at last
a concerted effort was made to rid
the neighborhood O. the animals. DIR.
Livingstone and the natives salned
out against the lions ana rounded up
number of them. Livingstone
singled out beautiful male lion,
took aim and fired. The animal was
struck, but received wound that
only served to arouse his anger. Be
fore Livingstone realized what was
happening the fierce brute gave
mighty spring anu crushed the ex-
plorer to the earth. Then he seized
Livingstone by the shoulder in his
terrible teeth and shook the man as a
cat does a mouse. DR.. Livingstone,
in telling of the incident afterward,
said this shaking caused numbness
to extend over his entire body. He
could not move, but he was perfectly
conscious and fully realized his
danger.
Fortunately some of the natives
had seen DIR. Livingstone's peril. AS
they rushed to his aid the lion placed
both forepaws on his victim and
growled defiance at the new foe. A
well-directed shot from natives
weapon, however, laid him cold in
death. DR.. Livingstone's arm had
been crushed py the animals teeth
and his body was badly lacerated by
the claws, but he recovered. The ma
