PINS BY THE BILLIONS.
Uncle Sam Has Been Gathering Sta
tistics About Them.

One hundred and thirty-three mil
lion gross of pins. Nineteen billion
pins The census bureau is the au-
thority for the statement that the
output of pins in the United States
for the year 1907 alone reached
these stupendous figures. 1t is not
strange that mankind has for many
years wondered where all the pins
go to. Nineteen billion pins sup
plies 225 pins for every man, wo-
man and child in America. Nor is
this all. These figures are for the
pin, and do not include hair
pins, safety pins, nor the importa-
ton of an unstated quantity of pins
from other countries. If we assume
that the average length of a pin is
an inch it appears that in a single
year America produces 10000, O0O,-
600 inches of pins, 100000 900
feet of pins, 100000 miles of pins,
pins enough if laid end to end to go
around the world 10 times, pins
enough to make a 1O0-strand cable
between New York and Liverpool

the movement for woman suffrage
in Georgia will be r-ore formidably
and plans VII be made
for municipal suffrc &c for women.
The women wish to secure suffrage
in different cities, working step by
step until they have secured state
suffrage. Mrs. McLendon sent to
Georgia delegates at the repub-
lican national convention a memorial
asking for plank in the republican
platform in favor of woman suffrage.

Though some people regard wo-
men as not being as original as men,
tbs majority Of the freak farms
of the country are owned and man
aged by women. The largest frog
farm in the United States, situated
at Siege, Cal, is owned and run by
Miss Edith Siege, who markets from
10000 to $4,000 frog legs a year
at a profit of over $4,000. At Mead
ow Brook farm, near a small town
in New Jersey, the rearing of frogs
for market has been taken up scien-
tifcally by a woman who was at one
time a cook in a lage New York city
hotel.
A few years ago she was left a
few acres of marshy land, fit for
nothing" as her farmer neighbors
said But observing the great num-
Der of frogs in the marshes gave her
an idea, and she surprised the natives
by going into fog raising on quite an
extensive scale. Now she is supply
the New York market with frog del
ieacies, and her "valueless farm,
fit for nothing" is yielding her more
profit per year than many of those

found out it didn't. But she struck

been outlying it. Shortly af-
ter the purchase, he set out
hundreds OF pine trees in groups
and avenues and cared for them until
they had become strong enough to
defy the elements and the beasts of

OF these trees tower so to 100 feet in

music among them over the pictur-

In 1900, Judge McCurdy rendered
his property to Corunna for public
park. The tender was gratefully &C
cepted and $4,000 was expended the
first year to make it the loveliest
spot in Central Michigan. The first
furrow for Improvements was turned
July /, 1900 and the park was form
ally dedicated about three months
later. The event was one Of the hap

also had an important part. The

Blue Ribbon Meeting.

Every promise made by the De-
troit Driving Club will be fulfilled
at the annual Blue Ribbon meeting
on the State Fair grounds, July 27
to 81. In the first place the club
announced that the new track would
equal any in the country. Not only
has it done that, but trainers who are
working there say that it is unaues-
uonably the fastest, which means a
lot of new first week records for the
grand circuit.
The early closing events filled be-
yond expectations and the fourteen
purses that go to make up the bal
ance of the five days programme
have attracted all the rest of the
good horses in training. More trot-
ters and PAGERS of class are engaged
in the events, entries to which close
on July IA, than ever in the history
of racing in Detroit.
With the fast track and the big
fields are some Of the most wonder
full campaigners the history of the
turf ever has known. The recent
race mile in 2:05H by Amy Brooks
shows the wonderful clip that will
be maintained in the 2:11 stake.

 to the Defendant.
PROSECUTION AIDS DEFENSE
TssamOay of Martin skura Is sensa- tIonsL and Attorney Mcintyre Tries to Haye Him Arrested
 On Charge of Perjury.

Flushing, N. F., Dec. 24--With the ex- ceptIon oe one or two witnesses. who will be heard on minor points, the is practically closed, The defense will outline It's case to the jury on Saturday after the prosecution rests.
 When the defendant returned to the Long Island jail tonight he knew all the vital evidence the prosecution had obtained to prove It's charge that he was one of the principals in the killing of William D. Annis. Before leaving the court. Hains declared that he felt that his acquittai was only q matter of days.
 Mir Rockwell threw no new light on the case. Justice Crane said that he would adjourn court until Saturday. when the District Attorney could pro- duce his other witness. a policeman. The District Attorney said he wanted to examine Martin Skura again, but Justice Crane said he would not allow 1t.
 The court adjourned until Saturday.
 District Attorney Darrin surprised Masnss counsel by calling Henry L.. Jesperson, c former real estate agent. whom the defense had planned to call as one of their principal witnesses. Jesperson's testimony developed many points favorable to the defendant. He
 
 said he had several conferences with Halns over water front property at Douglaston, near Bayside. and that Hains had made an appointment with his partner. Mir. Bugg. about some property near the Bayside Yacht Club. Mir. Jesperson further stated that Hains had postponed the real estate negotia- tions because of an illness of his bro- ther. The lawyers for Hains were de- lighted with Jesperson's testimony.
 {. An incident of interest in today's ses- sion was the demand of John F. McIn- tyre for the arrest of Martin Skura, an 1s-year -old cabman, who swore that he had made a false statement to Hains's lawyers, believing that they were news paper men. Skura was excused after c thrilling cross examination in which he admitted making such false declara- lions in the statements given to the counsel for the defense. He was not arrested. The defense hopes to con- ciued their case within the next week.
