How Hairpins Are Made.

For ages the French and English
controlled the manufacture Of hair
pins, and it is only within the last 20
years that the goods have been pro-
duced in other countries to any extent.
The machinery used is of delicate
and intricate character, as the prices
at which the pins are sold necessitates
the cheapest and most rapid process,
which can only be procured by auto
matte machines
The wire is made expressly for the
purpose and put up in large coils,
which are placed in a clamp and so
carried to the machine while being
Strengthened. This machine cuts,
bends, and, by delicate and instan-
taneous process, sharpens the points.
Running at full speed, it will turn out
120 hairpins every minute To econo-
mize it is necessary to keep the en-
gines going day and night
The difficult part of the work is In
the enamelling, which is done by dip
ping the pins in a preparation and
baking in an oven. 1t is here that the
most constant and careful attention is
required, as the pins must be absolute
ly smooth and the enamel have a per-
feet polish. The slightest particle Of
dust causes imperfections and rough
ness

white and his heart turn to water as
he lifted his torch. Facing him was
big African lion. 1t was no use to re-
fleet that such things are not to be
found in the Alleghanies. There it
certainly was, growing and coming
closer, its powerful shoulder blades
bobbing up and down as it walked.
Everybody ran except Joe.
"Yah!" he yelled in stupefied sur
prise.
The beast stopped, turned a credit
able somersault, rolled over on his
back and growled in a friendly way.
1t seemed to regard the yah" as
courtesy on Trout's part, and to be
trying to make some acknowledge
ment of it. Joe noticed this.

breath came back, 'but he don't seem
dangerous. Then he yelled: Gimme
rope; I'll tie him up
The engineer went to the engine and
got the tank rope, and Trout, with
many "yahs" and whoa there's" and
so boys" made the lion a necktie.
Then he led and coaxed him zig-zag to
the engine and tied him to the
cowcatcher. For five minutes he re-
ceived handshakes and back-slaps and

dispatcher:
Caught lion at Dead Mans Curve.
Tied him to the cowcatcher. Will hurt
him if we move. What shall we do?"
The train dispatcher was mad be-
cause the train had been stopped so.
long, and wired back:
Cut the rope. We're not in the
show business
Next morning the manager of a
travelling menagerie learned with
much regret that his pet trick lion
was missing. The showmen all went
to look for it and found it under
tree near Dead Mans Curve, fast
asleep, with rope around its neck

Twirling for Larks.

Why the lark should ever have been
chosen as an ingredient for steak,
kidney, and oyster pudding is puzzle
In consequence of the bird being re-
garded as tidbit, thousands of larks
are killed in certain countries yearly.
A lark can always be. caught if you
waggle something bright and glitter
ing near it. This is how the French
capture their victims. They fasten
bits of loolSing-glass to the top of a rod,
which they twist about a string. The
scraps of mirror reflect the suns rays
and attract the notice of the larks,
which gather round it in large num-
bers, only to be shot down in scores.
This unlovely pastime is known as
"Twirling for larks. ks.''-Cassells Little
Folks.

One of the most interesting literary
finds was the discovery in Swansea
castle, about so years ago, Of the orig
inal contract Of alliance between Ed
ward of Carnarvon, Prince of Wales,
and Isabella, daughter of Philip tho
Fair of France, dated at Paris, May
20, 1903. 1t was previously known that
when Edward II fled from Bristol for
Lundy and was driven by contrary
winds to land in Swansea bay, he de-
posted 4 number of the national ar
chives in Swansea castle for safety.
When the records of the castle were
seized it is probable that the docu-
ment mentioned was left behind. The
discovery was made by Mr.. George

Rain was falling the night Joe
Trout's train was stopped by hot box
at Dead Mans Curve, on a wild slope
of the Alleghanies. Everybody said
something uncheerful and then went
to work. There was a brilliant gather
ing Of men with lanterns about the
afflicted axle. The engineer felt the
box, pronounced it bad case of
typhoid fever, and applied remedies
learned in 20 years of railroading. Pete
Harlow, the flagman, wet to the skin
and groaning with rheumatism,
walked painfully back around the
curve and put signal torpedoes on the
track to keep off approaching trains
AS he rose from the rail he saw a
shaggy object with glowing eyes and a
powerful up and down motion. coming
toward him.
There was no hint of rheumatism in
the way Pete returned to the train and
told the boys there was "some strange
animal down there" They laughed at
him, but his eyes were big with truth
or something else, and they finally
turned out to investigate. The rear
brakeman was allowed to lead. be-
cause Of his record in the Spanish war
and his reputation of being afraid of
nothing. When the little force had
marched in column half way to the
torpedoes, the brakeman gasped,
turned on the instant, and went for

There she is! Run for your lives."

There are few boys or girls who
know what an unpleasant thing it is
to lie awake all night. Young people
manage to get plenty of exercise dur
ing the day and go off into the dust
mans kingdom readily enough when
the pillow is reached-except, per-
haps, on Christmas eve or the night
of July 8. Grownups are not always
so fortunate. Many of them are lax in
the matter of exercise, while Others
have affairs which fairly run away
with their peace and health. The
grim monster insomnia often seizes
them, sets their brains running at
high tension and keeps them awake
till morning. 1t is terrible state for
a grownup to get into and learned

Madame WI.


The present minister from China is
the most popular representative the
Flowery Kingdom has had in Wash
ington.
Nine WI, too, although she has not
had the opportunities to become as pub
licly known as is his Celestial excel
lency, soon made place for herself
in Washington diplomatic circles.
She has not her husbands command
of English, but she had no sooner
reached Washington in 1897, than she
began to study English, so that. now
she is well able to carry on polite
conversation"
Nine. Wu is of ancient lineage, her
pedigree in distinction, extending far
ther back than mat of the royal fam
lily itself. Naturally, she has re-
mained faithful to the Oriental dress,
and her costumes are the wonder and
admiration of her American sisters.
On state occasions she wears bril-
liant petticoat of red or blue, just
short enough to show her little feet,
heavily embroidered with gold. Over
this is worn a tunic of black and pur-
pie, also richly wrought with bullion.
On her breast is a large gold eagle,
which signifies that her rank is equal
to that of her husband, and she may
at all functions enter and leave the
room at his side instead of behind
him, as would be required if she were
of lesser rank. Her head-dress IS a
narrow band of black satin, ornament
ed with splendid jewel-a large pearl
usually-worth quite kings ransom,
worn directly in front. This band is
decorated with flowers which fall just
behind the ears and add much to its
picturesqueness. Her jewels are beau
tiful The custom of wearing flowers
in the hair is nearly universal in
China, fresh blossoms being preferred
when attainable, and artificial ones at
other times.
The beads around Nine Wu's neck
are also sign of official distinction,
worn by men as well as by women.
Curiously enough they vary with the
season, those ol sandal wood being
distinctly summer beads, while coral,
jade and other stones are reserved for
winter decoration.
Except for state occasions, Nine.
Wu's usual costume is a simpler re-
ception gown of brocade and silk. Her
home gowns are all made after this
general pattern, and are simple in tex
ture and trimming. Silk, cotton and
grass cloth are the fabrics most used
for summer, with the addition of bro
cades, furs and skins in winter. Wool
en- is very little used, and so far as
underwear is concerned one may re-
mark that with both men and women
there is great paucity of linen.
Nine. WI has the little feet which
characterize women of high caste in
Southern China.
When Mr.. Wu was asked: "If you
had daughter would you bind her
feet?" he replied:
Madame, l have no daughter
''And if you had?"
After considerable hesitation: "T
hardly think should However" con-
t;nued he, "you claim to be such a very
progressive people, yet see how your
women compress their waists Why
10 you not set us an example? When
you cease to compress your waists,
we will no longer bind our feet You
claim, too, to be free, but what slaves
the best of you are to fashion. Our
charges in style are slight, and occur
at such rare intervals as to give even
our women no trouble. e."-Brooklyn
Eagle.

The children with their dolls are out
At play upon the stair;
"Tis in the quiet afternoon,
So none disturb them there.
The clock upon the landing ticks;
The house seems very still,
And now and then the shrill wind sighs
Between the door and sill
The children do not heed the clock,
Nor heed the wind that means,
But quite intent upon their play,
They talk in lowered tones.

1t looked at one time as if the in
ternatioual marrying fad would never
die out. but if reports are true it may
soon go the way of the bicycle craze.
1t is stated that but two English dukes
remain in the matrimonial market,
and neither of them can be consid-
cred eligible, one being almost a luna
tic and the other an invalid. Inter-
national marriages have not, as a
rule, been prolific of much happiness
to the brides. Money and titles can
not guarantee happiness. The titles
have glamor for a certain class of
rich people, but as an investment they
oftener bring loss of money with mis-
cry than they do wealth and happiness.
A contented person is rich and happy.
The American girl does not make any
mistake by fitting herself to become
the wife of sober. Industrious and
well-educated American. BY marry
ing in her own social sphere her
chances Of happiness are 100 fold
better than if she marries out of it
abroad.
