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 workman
ship, 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 larg-
er sort of pins SO conspicuously and
frequently mentioned in the Bible. The
instrument driven by Jael through the
temple of Sisera was probably tent
pin, while Delilah fastened the web
of Samson's hair with pin or batten.
In the middle ages pins were great
fashion-indeed, great necessity
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 conven-
fence was probably little later in
reaching England, but in 1910 we hear
Of Queen Catherine (Howard) import
ing pins from France. In 1860 the
trade underwent considerable change,
brass superseding iron, while at the
same time the price was lowered.

Woman s Beauty is

If woman's beauty depended upon
cosmetics every woman would De
picture of loveliness. But beauty hes
deeper than that. It lies In health.
In the majority Of cases the basis OF
health and the cause of sickness, can
be traced to the action Of the bowels.
The headaches, the lassitude, the
sallow skin and the lusterless eyes are
usually due to constipation. So many
things that women do habitually con-
duce to this trouble. They do not
eat carefully, they eat indigestible
foods because the foods are served
daintily and they do not exercise
enough. But whatever the particular
cause may be it is important that the
condition should ! corrected.
An ideal remedy for women, and one
especially suited to their delicate re-
ouirements, is DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, which thousands of women en-
dorse highly. Mrs. Jennie Snedeker,
1O41 West Monroe st., Chicago, testi-
fles that she is cured of grave stom-
ach and bowel troubles by using Syrup
Pepsin and without the aid of doc
tor or any other medicine" All the
family can use Syrup 7epsin, for thou
sands Of mothers give it to babies and
children. It is also admirably suited
to the requirements Of elderly people,
in fact to all who by reason Of age OF
infirmity cannot stand harsh salts, ca.
thartics, pills or purgatives. These
should always be avoided for at best

The small boy whose father has
time to apply the switch should be-
ware with little more than his usual
caution. The United States govern
ment Is giving away willow switches.
The department of agriculture has
an experiment farm at Arlington, Va,
and some parts of it we're found to be
too wet for raising ordinary crops.
Therefore the experts set willows out
in the wet places, and there has been
so smart a growth that the govern
ment wants to get rid of the willow
switches. 1t offers to give them away
under the guise of willow cuttings to
make baskets or bottom chairs, but
no smart boy will ever be deceived by
that kind Of talk. He may be safe
only In the assurance Of the govern:
ment that only one hundred Of the
cuttings will be given to one person.
