FACTS ABOUT PINS.
How These Indispensable Little Arti-
cIes Are Manufactured.

How These Indispensable Little Arti-
cIes Are Manufactured.
A few centuries ago pins were so
expensive that only the rich could af-
ford them. The poorer people used
long thorns. fishbones or splinters OF
wood
At the time of the Revolutionary
war pins were made of iron and had
one end filed to a point and piece Of
fine wire twisted around the other end
for head
In the early days Of the United
States pins were all made in Europe.
and they became so scarce when the
war of 1872 stopped their importation
that the price rose TO n dollar n pack
age
Nowadays In our big pin factories
pins are made of fine wire Just the
thickness OF pins. This wire Is first
Strengthened to take out the kinks and
is then cut into pin lengths. One end
OF the wire is then struck so sharply
that 1t natiens out and forms the head.
Next the pins fall through a slot just
wide enough to allow the stems of the
pins to pass through. Hanging thus by
their heads. the lower end of the pin
blank Is filed to point
The pins are now ready for the
finishing touches. They are boiled In
weak beer to remove the grease and
dirt Then n caldron Is filled with al
ternate layers OF pins and tin grains,
over which certain chemicals are pour
ed. and 1t Is then put on the fire to
boil. The pins emerge from this bath
coated with tin. and after being wash
cd In clean water and polished until
they shine they are ready to be stuck
in the papers In which we buy them.

MAKING GLASS RINGS.
An Interesting Experiment With o

An Interesting Experiment With OIL
and Bottle,
1t Is always great satisfaction to
make something out Of nothing, and a
bottle with broken off neck is worth
Just about nothing and Is generally
considered as fit only for the ash pile.
But there is a better way to treat it
than that. In fact, 1t may be turned
into a neat and serviceable vessel, or
you may make out of 1t number OF
glass rings that may not be Of any
particular service but they certainly
will be curioslties.
and pour oil into 1t until it reaches O
point just below the Jagged edge.

BEFORE AND AFTER.
Your object is to cut off this Jagged
part and leave the rim smooth all
around. In other words, you wish to
convert the broken bottle into a sort Of
tumbler. All you have to do is to
plunge into the oil a redhot poker and
the glass will suddenly break straight
around on level with the oil.
That will give you n vessel that the
cook will be sure to find use for. The
only trouble Is that she will bring you
all the broken bottles she can find for
similar treatment.
Now, II you want TO make rings, say,
half an inch In width, pour out half
an inch Of the oil each time and use
the redhot poker as above directed

of recovery. But oh, what blessed re-

the flesh began to heal, and 1 knew

Rice Yield in Cross County.

Wynne.-The first crop of rice ever raised in Cross county has just been harvested at Hickory Ridge, fifteen miles west of Wynne, by Evans Bros. As an experiment these gentlemen planted sixty acres, and after defray- ing all the expenses of preparation of land, purchasing an engine and thresher, and digging well, they will clear between $1,500 and $2,000. The machinery still stands for other crops.
 The result of this experiment is that Cross county rice lands, of which there are 10000 to 100000 acres, have doubled ill value several times over, and are still going up. North ern money is pouring into these lands in vast sums, and one Of the disappointments connected with the great enhancement of values, and the big profit to be derived, is that south ern capitalists are allowing outsiders to come in and take off the cream.
 The season of 1910 will See 2,o00 acres of rice in Cross county, and the result will be loosening up in financial circles next year. In one week at Hickory Ridge $1S,00Q worth of machinery was unloaded for use in making the next crop.
 Of the crop harvested by Messrs. Evans so far, which is the older sec tion, by actual measurement it aver aged ninety-eight bushels to the acre, which is of the finest quality and worth a dollar a bushel.

:. :. .. CAPITOL CONTRACT COMPLETE.
Bidders Must Figure on Dome, En-

The formal advertisement for bids capitol appears in papers in various cities of the Mississippi valley.
