How the Kamr Smokes.

"The Kaffir smokes on his stomach"
said a tobacconist, using the earth for
a pipe. This benighted savage, when
the tobacco hunger seizes him, selects
a piece of clayey soil about q foot
square, and puts a curved twig there
in, so that both ends stick out. Then
he builds a fire over the place, and
when the fire has sufficiently hardened
the clay, he draws out the twig. and a
channel, a kind of pipe stem, is left.
One end of the channel he hollows into
a bowl. The other end Is his month
piece. He puts his tobacco In the
bowl, drops live coal on top, and.
lying down, falls to. The Kaffir sucks
away vigorously, and very black and
strong are the fumes that enter his
large mouth. He will not use an or
dinary pipe. He likes his own way of
smoking best. He Is L suppose, the
only smoker whose pipe Is the earth. "

WORLDS SUPPLY OF PINS.

Complicated Machine Has Greatly
SimpIihed the Manufacture.
Though the demand for pins the
world over Is enormous, the mills of
the United States practically supply
the entire demand, says the New York
Herald. Formerly pins were expen-
sive, but now they cost mere trifie.
In 1905 the 75,0O0,0O0 people In the
United States used 60,0C0000 gross Of
common pins, which Is equal to $780,,
100000 pins. or an average Of about 1875
pins for every man, woman and child
in the country. This is the highest
average reached anywhere in the use
Of pins. Ten years ago we used only
about seventy-two pins each.
In a single year the total number of
pins manufactured In the United States
was 6S,SS9,260 gross. The total num-
ber of pins manufactured in the Unit
ed States during 1900, the census year,
was 6S,SS9,2 ,260 gross. There are forty
three factories in all, with '2,353 EN-
ployes. The business has grown rapid
ly during the last twenty years, for
although there were forty factories in
1880 they produced only half as much,
employed only about half the capital
and only 1917 hands.
There has been a considerable in
crease in the number of women and
children employed in pin factories of
| late years, which is an indication that
the machinery is being improved and
simplified and that its operation does
not require so high an order of mechan-
product of pinmaking and are produced
at most of the factories from material
that will not do for pins. The output
Of hooks and eyes in 1900 was 1,131,S24
gross.
The automatic machines which turr
out pins and hooks has minimized the
cost of their manufacture till the cost
is practically only that Of the brass
wire from which they are made. A
single machine does the whole business
Coils of wire, hung upon reels, are
passed into machines which cut then
into proper length and they drop of
into a receptacle and arrange them
selves In the line of slot formed Of
two bars. When they reach the lower
J end Of the bars they are seized an(
! pressed between two dies, which form
the heads, and pass along into the grill
Of another steel instrument which
points them by pressure. They ar
then dropped into a solution of SOU

INJURY TO WATCH FROM FALL

Moisture Bad for Tfmepieces-
Breaking of Spring.
"Do many persons allow their watch

Half of those brought dn for repair
have suffered in that way" was the re
ply; lit is the most frequent accident

quently to men, on account of their
having the watch attached to a fob,
The number of watches injured by falls
increases when this fashion comes In,
and 1t declines when the mode of at
taching watches is in vogue. But there
are many other ways of allowing
watches to fall"
''Who handle their watches most
carefully, men or women?"
II cannot say, but women are more
accustomed to attach their watches to
their clothing or to a chain worn
around the neck, so tnat they are in
less danger of falling"
"How Is 1t with children?"
"Girls are more careful than boys,
and their watches fall less frequently.
Some boys will allow watch to fall
three or four times day; others seem
to play with it as with football"
Does a fall always harm O watch"
"Most assuredly, and a little fall
may be as injurious as a great one.
Moisture is very bad for a watch; at
times it penetrates where it could
scarcely be expected. More than once
a caressing father, who has allowed his
child to play with his watch, finds that
it begins to rust. The breatA Of the
child has affected it, or perhaps it has
been taken into the mouth. A frequent
case for repair is the breaking of the
spring, which will happen to the most
careful person. n."-HOrological Review.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way TO cure DEAFNESS, and that is by constitu-
Honal remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infamed
you have rum bling sound or imperfect hear
Ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness Is
the res ult, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out OF ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition Of
the'mucous surfaces.

case of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that can
