II was all due to Jumper the Hare
that Peter Rabbit learned how to make
the most of his new coat of pure white.
You know Jumper the Hare is Peter
Rabbits first cousin. Peter hadn't seen
much of him since winter began. for
Peter had kept pretty close to the dear
old brier patch, while Jumper liked the
Green Forest best. trusting to his long
legs to keep him out OF danger. But
when Peter got his new white coat ne
was so proud Of 1t that right away he
wanted to show it to his cousin. Jumper
the Hare.
So the first moonlight night off he
started lipperty-lipperty-lip, for the Green
Forest. Almost right away he found
Jumpers footprints. They were just like
his own, only very much bigger. Peter
scampered along as fast as he could go,
looking eagerly for the brown figure of
his big cousin. Just imagine how sur
prised Peter was when he heard voice
which seemed to come right out Of big
SNOWFALL.
''Hello." said the SNOWFALL. Its about
time you came to call on your neighbors,
especially when one of them is your own
cousin"
Peter stopped stock still and looked
for all the world as if he thought him
self dreaming and that presently he
would wake up and find that it was not
true He stared and stared and stared.
We'll what's the matter with you,
Peter? Have you lost your tongue?'
asked the SNOWFALL.
Just to show that he hadn't lost his
tongue Peter stuck it out. Then he

Early Pins Had Their
Heads Made Separately.

ess. for frequently the heads came off.
The need Of firm-headed pin was so ap-
parent to DIR. John Ireland Howe, a ply
sician in Bellevue Hospital, New York,
that he finally invented it. and the Howe
factories established in. New England in
1893 manufactured pins from his method
Previous to this, Lemuel w. Wright, an
other American, had obtained a patent in
England for making solid headed pins. IN
1871 Samuel Slocum invented a pin-stick-
Ing machine for sticking the pins into
papers, and he entered into the Howe
Pin Manufacturing Company, which
utilized his machine in its factory
The variety in pins Is almost as great
as In needles, and there Is no limit to
their uses and designs. The safety Din is
said to be distinctly American inven-
ton. although antiquarians now have
claimed to have found its counterpart
made centuries ago. A most important
by-product Of the pin and needle indus
try is the hook and eye, which cause
quite as much trouble to the modern mar
rled man as did the pin and needle to his
ancestor. The hooks and eyes can fire.
quently be manufactured of waste ma
terials in the pin factory. Nearly two
millions gross of hooks and eyes were
manufactured in the United States last
year. a large portion Of which were ex-
ported.

Some Pins Of Antiquity
Ingeniously Designed. d.

frequently pick up bronze pins made with
loop and a knob which were used to
grid up the garments Of biblical charac-
tiers.
The common pins were first made in
Europe about the middle of the four
teenth century and they became general
in England some time later. In 1883 the
importation of pins from France was for
hidden by an English statute. although
in 1o4O Queen Catharine had them i'm.
ported for her own use. About this time
they began to be manufactured in Eng
land and there was special legislative
act passed providing mo person shall
put to sale any pinnes only such as shall
nave a double head and have the eye
soldered fast TO the shank of the pinne,
the shank well shapen, the points well
rounded. filed, canted and shaped" At
that time, as now, the best pins were
made Of brass, but this law was especial
~ directed against iron pins whitened to
resemble brass.
Pins were first made in the United
states during the revolutionary war by
Jeremiah ilkinson Of Rhode Island. who
formed the heads by twisting fine wires.
Prizes were offered in Carolina a few
years later for the first native-made pins
and needles. although there is no record
or them having been claimed. The war
or lSl2 brought about a great scarcity of
pins and their price went up so enor-
mousiy that the women of the period
carefully preserved every needle with a
broken eye. which they converted into a
pin by fixing to it head of colored
sealing wax. Some of these wax-headed
pins are still preserved as historic relics
