Hairpins and Other Pins.

Hairpins have been elaborated as a
means of decoration since the earliest
times. Particularly beautiful is the
variety and delicacy Of their work
m%anship, two of the finest specimens
being the gold pins which were found
at Salamis in Cyprus, and are now in
the British museum. Even more hand
some were the Saxon pins of a later
date, with their shank Of brass, head
of gold, and establishment Of garnets
and pearls. There were, too, the
larger sort of pins so conspicuously
and frequently mentioned in the Bible.
The instrument driven by Jael through
the temple of Sisera was probably a
tent-pin, while Delilah fastened the
web of Samson's hair with a pin or
batten. In the middle ages pins were
a great fashion-indeed, a great ne
cessity-in France, and we have it on
record that in 1347 10000 pins were
removed from the royal wardrobe for
one of the French princesses. The
convenience was probably a little
later in reaching England, but in 1910
we hear Of Queen Catherine (Howard)
importing pins from France. In 1860
the trade underwent considerable
change, brass superseding iron, while
at the same time the price was low
cred.

The spirit of protection of nature in
Switzerland is rapidly growing. A
storm of protest has swept over the
central section at the killing of two
eagles. These were observed at Muir
rem and steps were undertaken to pro-
tect them when a Lauterbrunnen hunt
er came over and shot them both. In
this connection attention is called to
the fact that eagles are now scarce
in Switzerland and there is serious
risk of their extinction. AS a means
to prevent just such evils as that of
the destruction of the eagles, the
Berne cantonal educational depart
ment has put into the schools a little
text book, the story of the plants.
This notes the rare species, instructs
Pthe children not to pluck and destroy
them, and gives information about the
penalties for picking such plants.
Further instructions are given to
teachers who are likely to have the
care Of vacation or outing parties.
The principle of the whole procedure
is the excellent one, thus expressed
by the Berne school committee, that
Such instruction is essential, for
with the coming generation will rest
the safety or the destruction of the
flowers"

Whereupon sHeraldist Hunt buckles
right down to work and turns out a
~new-fangled seal that everybody
gazes at admiringly, and tells about
its history, and how it happened to
be that way.
The coat-of-arms Of Porto Rico
was designed by Mr.. Hunt. He also
designed the coat-of-arms of the Phil
ippine islands. Again, he is the one
who designed the seal of the depart
ment Of commerce and labor, said by
experts to be at once the most sim
pie and most symbolically striking Of
all those used by the government.
And, finally, it was he who designed
the gorgeous combined seal and coat
of-arms Of the new Panama canal
zone. All OF which goes to show
that he earns his salary.
Besides the seals mentioned, Mr..
Hunt has designed innumerable 9TH
or seals during his Is years devotion
to this subject. And he has spent a
great part of those rs years prose-
cutting a search for the great seal OF
the Co~nfederacy, which disappeared
during the siege of Richmond. Only
a short time ago the search ended,
and the great seal Is now n Of the
most priced possessions of the Con-
federate Museum at Richmond.

A CHRISTMAS TREE ELECTRIC.
LIGHT OUTFIT.

The safest way t light a Christ
mas tree is with electricity: 1t Is also
the most interesting way and as the
little electric lamps can be obtained
in different colors the electrically
lighted tree is much more pleasing to
look upon than n lighted by can
dies.
Every boy reader Of these articles
will want to wire the home tree or
that used at the church or school en-
tertainment, and the following instruc-
lions will make the work easy to do.
Festoons Of lights a be purchased
wired ready to hang upon the tree,
but you will save considerable In the
cost by buying the lamps. sockets,
cord, ETC., and connecting them your
self, besides having the fun Of doing
the work.
If your house, or the church or
school in which the Christmas enter
tainment is to be held, Is supplied
with electric lighting, the simplest
thing to do is to purchase lamps and
sockets that can be used on the cir
cult" current and attach a plug" to
the end of the wire that car be
screwed into one of the light-hxture
sockets, just as the drop-cord of any
electric lamp is connected; but II
there Is no lighting current at hand
you will have to depend upon dry bat
teries.
The illustration of the battery out
fit shows twelve lamps Of 1 candle
power each, and twelve batteries.
This outfit may be operated with one
half as many batteries, but the drain
on them would be so great that they
would soon be exhausted. Another
point in favor of using twelve is that
by buying them in a dozen lot you
will save about 7 cents on the cost
of each battery. No. Is or 20 in
sulated bell-wire may be used for the
wiring of the battery outfit, but the
smallest size Of drop-cord will make
a heater job in the wiring OF the
lamps.
The battery cells are shown wired
in "series-parallel"-that is, foul
rows of three cells each are connect
ed up in series" and the four rows

are connected In parallel" In con-
Meeting cells in Series the zinc OF
m is connected to the carbon Of that
next to it; in connecting in parallel"
all of the carbons are connected by
one wire and all OF the zines by an
other; and in a "series-parallel" con
nection one of the lamp wires Is con-
nected to the unattached end carbon
of each row wired in series, and the
other wire is joined to the unattached
end zinc of each row.
You will see by the illustration that
the battery lamps are wired in paral'
lel--each lamp being connected to
both of the wires coming from the
battery. Space the lamps about IL
inches apart and make the connect
ing wires long enough &c the lamps
can be placed well out upon the limbs
of the tree. Be sure to scrape bare
and clean the ends Of all wires 30
they will make good contact, and
wrap all spices with bicycle tape or
electricians tape.
The wiring Of lamps for an outfit
used on a lighting circuit must be
done in series, as shown in the illus
tration, instead of in parallel. and
there must be eight, sixteen OF TWEEN.
ty-four lamps-a multiple Of eight.
The wire used should be regular lamp
drop-cord. In purchasing lamps be
sure and tell the dealer whether you
want them for a battery outfit or for
a lighting circuit: the latter must
have a higher voltage capacity than
the former.
The illustration of a lighted tree
shows a good scheme for a tree
standard that will also conceal the
cells Of a battery outfit. A soap-boz
will be large enough for a small tree
First, make a tree standard in the
ordinary way shown in the corner
sketch OF the illustration, using two
pieces Of two-by.four OF the length Of
the inside width Of the soap-box. Cut
a piece out OF the center OF each
equal to the width and one-half the
thickness of the other piece, 80 one
will lock in the other; then nail then
together and cut a hole through the
center large enough for the end OF the
tree. Fasten this standard in the
bottom OF the box; remove enough o.
one side OF the box to make a dooi
large enough to admit the battery
cells, and hinge II in place; then n

box and cut a hole through them, d

Kind Treatment Of Cows.

An interesting experiment was re-
Gently performed at the Kansas Agri-
cultural college to determine the rela-
tive results of kind and Of unkind
treatment upon cows. Three cows
were treated kindly, and we're found
to give an average of SO pounds Of
milk, with 4.3 per cent, Of butter fat.
Later these same cows we're brighten.
ed by jumping at them, bowling at
them and striking them while they
were eating. 1t was found at milking
that they produced only 20 pounds of
milk, containing 3.4 per cent. butter
fat. Three other COW tested 81
pounds of milk, containing AZ per
cent. Of butter fat, under kind treat
ment. They were driven into a field,
and the dogs were allowed to bark at
them and chase them. AS a result
they averaged only 20 pounds of milk,
with $50 per cent. of butter fat. II
should not be necessary to point the
moral.
