When a man has lived to be 20

MAKING OF CLOTHESPINS.
Millions Arc Turned Out Annually
Mt a Maine Factory.

Millions Arc Turned Out Annually
Mt a Maine Factory.
Few persons ever wonder where
clothespins come from few ever heard
Of Bryant's Pond, Me-, and yet a man
there has been quietly turning tree! into
clothespins for years and supplying the
world with them, amasslng in the pro-
cess as comfortable q fortune as many
a man makes in a more ~pretentious
business in some money %centers, accord
ing to the New York Tribune. His
name is Lewis Mann, and he began
with a capital of $500, with which he
purchased an old disused mill and be-
gan the manufacture Of clotheSpins. To-
day he is the largest individual maker
Of this very necessary article in the
world.
How large the clothespin industry
really is may be gathered from the fact
that no less than 100000 iVe-gross
boxes are manufactured every year in
the United States alone. Much of the
best machinery now used by Mr.. Mann
is the result of his own inventive genius
and that Of his son Edwin. Mr.. Mann'S
machines turn out 80, 100000 pail ham
dies, while Of high-grade clothespin they
produce more than $4,000 ~fve-gross
boxes, or 100000 a year.
In the winter great piles of birch logs
are accumulated about the mills, to
feed the great saws, which snip them
into two and one-half foot lengths as
easily as though they were so many
matches. These lengths are rapidly
split by another saw into thin slabs,
which are in turn converted into long,
thin square strips by gang saws. Deft
hands toss these strips on q revolving
drum. which bears them against still
other saws and turns them out in the
form of oblcng blocks.
Failing on to a moving belt, the blocks
are whirled away to a number Of lathes,
If the blocks are to become pail han
dies, they are bored and turned in most
ingenius fashion at a high ratio of
speed e they are destined for clothes
pins, the boring is, Of course, dispensed
with. and they are simply turned into
the desired shape.

clotliespins to Il "slotter," which rapidly
cuts the slot the pins emerge with
two symmetrical legs and are swiftly
borne by still a third belt to the upper
floor, where they and the pail handles
are dried in vast heaps at a high tenn
perature in the dry room, bleached with
sulphur and finally polished with wax
In a huge revolving drum. Thence they
descend again to the packers, where
they receive a final inspection, and all
the pins that are not rejected are pack
cd in boxes labeled or 3D. accord
ing to quality.
The rate of production is amazing
yet few are injured in the making,
nearly every pin and handle emerging,
after Its tortuous journey, in perfect
polished form.

probably laughed more jury cases OUT
Of court than any other man VINO ever
,practiced at the bar.
Il once heard Mr.. Lincoln defend a
man in Bloomington against a charge
of passing counterfeit money VICE
President Stevenson told the writer.
There was a pretty clear case against
the accused, but when the chief witness
Cor the people took the stand he stated
that his name was j. Parker Green,
and Lincoln reverted to this the mo-
ment he rose to cross-examine. why
j. Parker Greene? What did that j.
stand for? John? Well, why didn't
the witness call himself John Z. Green!
That was his name, wasn't it? Well,
what was the reason he didn't wish to
be known by his right name? Did j.
Parker Green have anything to conceal.
and If not, why did j. Parker Green
part his name in that way| And so
on. OF course, the whole examination
was f~arcical,' Mr.. Stevenson continued,
but there was something irrcSistibiy
funny in the varying tones and intlec-
lions of Mr.. Lincoln's voice as he rang
the changes upon the mans name and
at the recess the very boys in the street
took up the slogan and shouted j. Par
ker Green" all over the town. More
over. there vas something in Lincoln'S
way OF intOning his questions which
made me suspicious Of the witness, and
to this day l have never been able to
rid my mind of the absurd impression
that there was something not quite
right about J. Parker Green. 1t was

In his early Hartford days Mark

tsseila which he advertised for in the
local papers somewhat after this fash.
ion:
"Lost-$1O reward; n gold-headed

After the incidents above recorded,
things went on quietly enough for some
months. I had a serious talk with Jones.
~reproaching him gravely for his outrage
GUS demeanor. He capitulafed abjectly
on being shown the cable, which was pro-
cured in the manner kindly indicated by
the President. The latter had perhaps
been in too great a hurry with his heavy
runs, for his hint of violence had rather
stirred than allayed Jones' apprehensions.

should his excellency not stick at murder

Castro Planning a Bank.

The government Of Venezuela is to estab-
Iish a national bank and substitute paper
currency for the gold basis on which the
country has been operating. 1t was learned
yesterday in New York that among the
missions with which j. Torres Cardenas,
secretary general of Venezuela, and Manuel
Corao who arrived here from Caracas on
Monday. are charged is the negotiation for
the national bank contemplated by Presi-
dent Castro. Heretofore the Banco de Ven
ezuela, in Caracas, has been the national
depository and fiscal agent for the govern
ment. The bank issued paper money for
use only in the commercial centers-Ca-
racas, La Guayra and Puerto Cabello-while
the Banco de Maracaibo did the same for
the convenience of the business people of
that city. This issuance of bank notes was
because of the little use made in Venezuela
of check books and the difficulty of handling
gold in large sums. But the plan of Castro
Is. to establish a paper currency for general
circulation.
