HOW PINS ARE MADE.
An Intricate Process Where Machinery
 Does All the Work.

1OSS All Iu0 VOTNs To make pin is an intricate process but it is all done by machinery. A spool of brass wire running on steel posts is fed into jaws which bite of the length of the pin. A small length is left to make the head, which is formed by three rapid blows of a hammer which moves forward one twentieth of an inch at each blow. The pin then drops to an incline in which are grooves deep enough to admit the shank, but not the head.
 As the pin moves down its point comes in contact with cylinder with file like surface, which causes the pin to turn round so that it is sharp ened on all sides. It next drops into receptacle where layer of pins Is placed, and then a layer of finely ground tin until the pan is filled. Heat and a chemical solution coat the pins with tin.
 They are then polished in barrel revolving rapidly. They are placed in the papers by a machine, which seizes the paper and crimps it into divisions as wide as the length of the pins The bottom of the box is made of square steel bars, which allow the shanks but not the heads of the pins to pass through.
 The bars are in motion, thus shaking down the pins until row Is formed, when they are clamped in place by the bars. A fold of paper is pushed up against them and pressed into place. This is repeated until the paper is full, when another takes its place. It all sounds intricate, but being done by machinery 1t is rapid and cheap, else we could not have the billions of pins that we waste.-Indianapolis News

He had also served as assessor in past years. He was born in the town of Woodstock, Conn.,, February 10, 1S42, the son of James Walker and Mary Hiscock.

Walker married in 1867 Miss Maryett Handy of Newton. He had been engaged in farming most of his life, although he taught school in his younger days and was employed in the factories of Wales for some years. He had been secretary of the Wales veteran association since it's He was a member of the Baptist church. Rev. H. F. Smith will have charge of the funeral The burial will be in the family lot in the new cemetery. MT. Walker was one of a family of three ohil- dren and is survived by brother, Albertus Walker of Staffordville, and a sister, Mrs. Jennie Baker of East ford, Conn. MT. Walker leaves a son, Henry s. Walker, of Wales; a Mrs. Florence Sowerbutts of Fitchburg, and two grandsons.

THE OLD MASTERS.

Paintings Without Signatures Arc
 Judged by Their Teehnie.
 IL appears that many of the works of the old masters are not signed Experts rarely rely on signatures alone In determining the authenticity of an old work, but trust rather to their knowledge of the painters technic, says the Philadelphia Record
 False signatures can be easily de tected- Spirits of wine or turpentine will usually remove name of later date than the painting. In the course of time signatures often become very difficult to find Painted originally in a shade slightly lighter than the ground, perhaps, they sink in, darken, and merge into the ground color or they are almost rubbed away by sue cessive cleanings. Recognizable one day in a specially favorable light. they may not be visible again for weeks.
 Experts speak of "will-o' -the-wisp" signatures, and many collectors have encountered accidental strokes and cracks that tantalizingly suggest a sig nature, though 1t can never be made definite. On the other hand, there have been remarkable cases of such marks. after careful study, resolving them selves into famous name.
 Sometimes the painters name is most conspicuous as. for example, in Ra- phael's "Sposalizio" at Milan. Proud of having surpassed his master. the youthful genius wrote on frieze in the very center of the canvas, Raphael Urbinas."
 Reynolds hardly ever signed his work. But upon the completion of the portrait of Mrs. Siddons as the Tragic Muse. he wrote his name large on the gold embroidery of her dress. He was unable, he said, ''to resist the temptation of sending my name to pos terity on the hem of your garment"

INVESTING MONEY.

Don't Buy Securities Unless You Ars Positive They Are Sound. A good counselor of;Wall street was talking to me about investments ir stocks. He said:
 'Tell people not to be in a hurry to buy. The average investor, as differ entiated from the steady speculator doesn't put much money into stocks and what he does invest Is apt to be the accumulation of months or years. He can very well afford to wait until he finds out about the stock which in terests him.
 The stock market is with us always. Tell your friends to study it carefully for time before going into 1t. Tell them to put their money in a savings bank for six months and let 1t draw in- terest at or per cent while they study the market actions of the stocks they think of buying. Suppose in that time prices do rise steadily and the stocks prove to be sound-the increased price in that case will be small tax on their ultimate profits"
 It is good advice for all investors of small experience. An investment ought to have a market price-whether 1t be stocks, bonds, mortgages, com mercial notes, farms or city real estate The market price of a safe and sound investment ought, on the whole, to rise; when 1t sags the depression ought not to be great, and it ought to be due to perfectly logical and easily understand able causes.
 Beware of the seller who tries to hurry you into buying by saying that the market price of what he has to sell is going up. In most instances you'll find that he's wrong, and if 1t does go up consistently and logically over a pc riod of months you may reasonably ex- pect that after you buy it its rise will continue.
 Don't be in hurry. You can easily lose in an hour what has required years to accumulate. Look. listen, in vestigate! The financial history of in- vestments open to the average buyer can be learned-usually the bank in which you have your money deposited can put you in the way of learning 1t. For every cent spent in finding out be- fore buying the investor will get back a dollar in safety and better returns John NJ. Oskison in Chicago News.

CANCER IN THE FAMILY.
There ls No Proof That the Dreaded
 Disease Is Hereditary.

Disease Is hereditary.
 Perhaps nothing causes more need less worry than the fact that one or more persons In a given family have died from cancer. This is commonly taken as proof that the disease is hereditary. This does not at all fol low. There is probably no greater chance of inheriting cancer than there is of being killed by lightning or of breaking ones neck falling down stairs. Perhaps there are people who worry even about those contingencies, but the statisticians have shown that such fatal accidents are extremely rare.
 their relatives have succumbed to can cer fail to consider how widespread the disease Is. A malady that causes one death out of every eight among women and one out of every fourteen among men over forty is fairly. com mon. On this basis it does not take much arithmetic to figure out how likely 1t is that cancer will occur many times in some families.
 The eminent statisticians, King and Newsholme. have pointed out that 1t does not prove heredity to show that in one family five deaths occurred from cancer. By the very frequency of the disease and the laws of chance such cases would be expected even if no one had ever suggested the idea of heredity.
 In some species of animals it is be- heved a certain susceptibility to tu- mors may be inherited. But so far as human beings are concerned the fore most authorities believe that heredity in cancer may be regarded as negli- gible factor.-Journal of the American Medical Association
