Facts About Pins.

DINS are so common now that it Is
difficult to imagine how inconven-
lent it must have been I'm the days
when these useful little articles were
scarce. In olden times. when pins were
made by hand, they were SO expensive
that only the wealthy could afford to
use them. When lady married it was
the custom to give her sum OF money
to use in buying pins This present
was called pin money, but today
pin money has a different meaning
Now pins are made from brass wire
coils The wire is drawn from the roll
through a hole in the steel plate. Then
it is seized by d pair of pinchers ard
thrust through hole in another plate.
Next a hammer strikes the end to form
the head, at the same time that the
wire is cut to make the pin. The ma
chinery then drops the pin into a
groove so that 1t hangs by its head
While in this position the end is
sharpened. Falling between two grind
ing wheels the point is made still finer.
After the pins are made in this way
they are dipped into tubs of polishing
oil and boiled in tin solution so they
will be white. The sticking of the pins
into papers by machinery is the most
interesting work of the factory, for
the machines which do this seem al
most human. SO rapidly do these iron
hands work that In less than an nour
each machine will stick 100, 900 pins.
Every year there are nearly SJ00.o0o
worth of pins made in our country.
Where do all of these pins go to. for il
is said that only one in every hundred

to him in his task of governing the great

friends whom he dropped then was Rich

was all right for the sporting Prince OF
Wales to meet and chat with Croker on

It was as a moral censor that King
Edward caused most surprise. for no one
expected that he would be strict in this
particular. 1t soon became known at
court however. that no one against
whose moral character there was the
slightest breath of suspicion might expect
to be received. and recently he has even
carried this form of censorship farther by
refusing to receive either party in a mat
rimonial quarrel. no matter how lnno-
cent one of them may be.

had rather unpleasant experience re-
Gently 1t was the occasion when King
Manuel of Portugal, during his recent
visit to England. was invested with the
insignia of the Garter. This Is one OF
the most splendid ceremonies in connec-
ton with English court life and an lnvl-
tatiOn to the Garter banquet which always
follows a chapter of the Garter at Windsor
is about the most eagerly sought after
honor in English society. Well. neither
the Duke nor the Duchess of Marlbor-
ough was invited. and in the case of the
duke the omission was particularly
marked, for as a Garter knight he was
present at the chapter, and had to leave
Windsor Immediately after. while all the
other knights remained to the banquet.
In fact. parallel case was found In
that OF the late Duke Of Buckingham.
whose mode of life so offended Queen
Victoria that she determined to exclude
him from the investiture OF Louis phil
ippe at Windsor The bluff old duke said
with many objurgatons that he would
see her majesty-somewhere- he
would be done out of his right as knight
of the Garter to be present at the in
vestiture. and present he was. but the
queen wouldn't have him at the banquet
and he had to buy his own dinner that
evening.
This is not the first time that the Duke
of Marlborough has suffered similar
slight. Two years ago neither he nor the

duchess were invited to a great state
banquet. at which their rank entitled
them to be present. and it is said the
duchess personally implored the king to
allow her to announce that she had
been invited, but was too III to attend.
Edward, however. refused, declaring that
the whole object of his policy would be
defeated if he allowed people who were
under the ban to pretend that they still
enjoyed the royal favor.
Now It must be understood clearly that
in all this neither the king nor Queen
Alexandra takes any sides. neither do
they impute any guilt to any one. They
simply take the position that every one
who is received at court must be abso-
lutely above suspicion. and that the
simplest way to prevent scandal in con-
nection with the court is to exclude
every one whose position is in the slight
est degree anomalous.
Another social sufferer from the mat
rmonial quarrels Of the Marlborough
is Lord Alexander Thyme. brother OF
the Marquis Of Bath. Lord Alexander
has long been friend of both the Duke
and Duchess of Marlborough. and when
their quarrel came he espoused the
cause of the duchess. This caused the
duke in his anger to say things that

- CHOOL children living in large
towns and cities seldom have the
proper amount of outdoor exer-
~ else. While the gymnasium is
very good in its way it does not
furnish the physical needs which are sup
piled by fresh air and soft earth. One
run and leap on the spongy ground. Too
often the town and city children are
obliged to ride in street cars to and from
school, thus losing the exercise of going
and coming afoot And the evenings at
home are so filled mp with lessons for the
morrow and affairs of the family that
any special effort toward physical de-
velopment is entirely neglected.
But to have strong. active minds the
boys and girls must have strong, active
bodies. We all know how difficult it is
to arrange for any special physical exer-
cises in the modern home. for, to quote
a boy on the subject. 'floor-space is too
limited to allow of any jumping and run
ming" not to speak of the Inconvenience

one is using the place for gym
So it behooves the city boys and girls
to make it possible to have open-air eX-
form themselves into .'out-of-door clubs.
The respective mothers should take turns
in chaperoning the club.
There is no better exercise for the de-
velopment of the body than walking, and
if the club can arrange to take an early
morning walk before school-say from
$50 till 8 o'clock-they will soon find
themselves much benefited both physical
ly and mentally. Then, when the weather
is fine, there should be the Saturday
tramp into the country, beginning with.
say, two miles, and gradually increasing
the distance till they can walk ten miles
without fatigue.
Of course, the morning walk before
school calls for early rising. And the
natural consequence of early rising is
early going to bed. This habit cannot
be too highly recommended. and the
boys and girls who are ont of bed at Z
o'clock in winter and at 6 o'clock in
summer are ready to retire at in win

for it is a known fact that less sleep is
required in warm weather than in cold
weather. All growing children should
sleep from eight and half hours to
nine and half hours. Late hours at
night are destructive to the mental and
physical welfare of the children; their
nerves become unstruns and their tastes
abnormal.
If there are to be pleasures such as
parties and theaters for the children let
them be enjoyed in the daytime. The

light to the young boys and girls and

title of Swami. AS there are only about
fifty Swamis in the whole of India some
idea of the austerity of the obligations
may be easily imagined. The degree OF
remuneration entaied is beyond the aver
age man. Swami means MASTER. or
religious teacher - one who has re-
nounced the world and family and taken
the vows of Ceihacy.
So complete is the remuneration that the
whole identity is lost in the order. Even
the name is forgotten and the monk is
renamed BY the master of his order ac
cording to his spiritual growth and his
characteristics. Paramananda means
supreme bliss. discrimination. or
''One who rejoices in the supreme truth.
The whole name. Swami Paramananda.
is translated to mean master of supreme
bliss
Should man already married desire
to renounce the world and become a
monk he may not do 50 without the alb
solute consent of his wife and children,
for the Nedanta teachings are designed
to enlarge the scope of ones vision as
to the true way to live. Becoming Il
monk and renouncing the family ordains
the extending of love and help to the en-
tire world and allows circle of ex-

ing to their comprehension. | have not
come here to convert people. On the
contrary, the Nedanta philosophy de-
sires all persons to follow their own con-
victions, to live out their lives according
to their own standards of truth and love.
The Nedanta, the religion of the Hin
dus. allows no hatred, no anger. no quar-
relins, no strife. no envy, but entreats
harmony. unselfshness. love for the
neighbor and a never-ending struggle for
a self-control and the subduing of the
ego.
1T is the Hindu belief that in each
incarnation man has the benefit of all
of his previous experiences. and that all
of his lifetime efforts toward the better
ment of humanity and the mortifica-
ton of self are steps upward in the
progress of spiritual illumination.
To live for the good of others, and to
promote harmony and better understand
ing between the racial and religious di
visions of the human family. seems to he
the ruling impulse of the opponents of
Vedanta. Chastity, charity and love for
all are the chief attributes, while mod
esty and simplicity are the rule and
guide of their conduct.
The Swami says:
There has been a gradual awakening
al over the world. and people are begin
ming to reach out after these universal
truths which, when generally accepted
will put an end to the intense strife be-
tween the different religions. The deep
line of demarcation drawn between the
various sects will disappear and each
will allow that the other may be equally
right and entitled to an equal share OF
respect.
