Why pin Money"

For a long time after pins were in
vented in the fourteenth century they
were used only by the wealthy. 1t
cost so much to manufacture them
that the poor and even the middle
classes could not afford them. Each
pin was made by filing one end OF a
wire of the proper length t. a point,
and then twisting a piece of finer wire
about the other end. The complete
process is said to have involved about
thirteen different operations, requir.
ing as many different persons. In 1897
Timothy Harris of England succeeded
in making the first solid-headed pin.
In 1924 an American named Wright
made a great Improvement over Har-
ris' method, and in 1881 John |. Howe
Of New York city invented a machine
for making pins as we now have them.
At m period, when pins were ex
pensive luXuries, it was customary to
give a young lady a certain mount
on her marriage for pin money" The
custom disappeared long ago, but the
term pin money" remains.

IRON time to time there have APP
- peared in the newspapers re
ports that the Senussi were
about to begin a holy war on
the allies. having been persuaded to
take this action by the Vaccinations
of Teutonic emissaries. Indeed, once
or twice there have been stories of &C.
tual hostilities on the part of these
jewellers in the desert of Sahara. Gu
riosity concerning this great body of
Mohammedan people has naturally
been aroused, but information about
them is not plentiful.
The following account of the Senussi
and Djaraboub, their capital, is part
of an article by George Remond
published in ILLUSTRATION of Paris
some two years ago, incorporating the
experiences of a member of Enver
Bey's mission to the Senussi in 1912:
D%jaraboub is built on one of the hill
locks which cover this part OF the
country. Sidi Mohammed ell Senussi,
passing through it in 1858, by order
of Cod founded a little zaouia. This
was the beginning of Djaraboub. This
holy man was an Algerian, pious and
learned, who had done the pilgrimage
to Mecca several times. He received
hospitality from the tribes to whom he
commented on the Koran, gaining
thereby a great reputation for wisdom
and knowledge. Seeing in what state
of barbarism and ignorance the inhabi-
tants of Cyrenaica lived, he decided
to teach them the word of God, and
built in the Green mountain the first
zaouia, which got the name of zaouia
ell Beida (the white), taught his dis
ciples, and founded a religious order.

throughout the country, and has
spread today in the greater part of
the Moslem world, He died at Djara.
boub and was buried there, and his
son, Sidi ell Mahdi, set up a magni6.
cent tomb in his memory.
There are now 14O Senussi zaouias
in Africa, eleven or thirteen of which
are in Egypt, five or six in the Tripod.

the Sudan.

Cold Congresses.

Cold congresses today are gener-
ally advised and have taken the place
of various hot applications previously
thought to be the correct mode of
treatment. This method of reducing
irritation should be employed in the
beginning whenever possible so the re-
lief will be all the more rapid.
One of the simplest congresses is
made from a small towel or cloth laid
in several folds, dipped in cold water,
wrung out and applied to the throat
of the patient, completely encircling
it. Over this at once is placed a dry
towel covering the wet one SO as to
exclude the air, otherwise a chill is
likely to follow. The wet cloth is
moist only, with no tendency to drip.
So soon as the bandage becomes
warm another one is Immediately
placed and the air not allowed to reach
the throat any more than is necessary.
Mustard plasters are sometimes ad.
yised for a ORE throat.

Travellers passing through the Sierra
Nevadas during the winter are famil-
lar with the peculiar sights that follow
a heavy snowfall not accompanied
with wind, for they have seen build
ings completely buried from view, the
only indication of their presence be-
ing a mound of snow shaped like the
roof. They have seen small buildings
with snow perhaps ten feet deep on
the roof, and posts with such a big
white cap that they looked like giant
mushrooms.
At numerous points snow twenty
five feet deep on the level is not un-
common, and a one-story building,
buried to the caves, is a frequent
sight. This peculiar condition in the
Sierras was the cause for building the
s~nowsheds, which extend 32 miles
along the railway tracks between Blue
canyon and the Truckee. Without
these sheds the railroad could not be
operated, but their cost is

COOKING SAUSAGE.

Ii sausages are cooked on a plate
in the oven they will not be unpleas-
antly odorous. An old platter will do,
and they will take from twenty min
utes to half an hour. Prick them and
arrange side by side. When the fat
has fried out pour it off and turn each
sausage and they will be far drier and
crisper than if cooked on top of the
stove. Spread the dr%ained-off fat on
slices of crustless bread and brown
them in the oven OF ia a hot frying
pan, or choose a crisp apple, peel and
cut in rather thick slices and fry in
the drained-off fat, and serve on the
same platter with the sausages.

chapel contains the tombs of women.
Near one Of the doors, under the ar
cades, is the tomb of the maternal
grandfather of the present Senussi. At
one of the angles of the court a nina
ret rises, and on one of the sides
above the arcades are the private
apartments of the Senussi and an open
gallery with three columns, where he
spends the day, 'prays and gives au-
diences. On another side are the bath.

While the second Senussi, Sidi ell
Mahdi, lived at Djaraboub, the popu-
lation reached to more than three
thousand inhabitants. He had four
artesian wells made, one of which,
near the mosque, is 1885 meters in
depth, and supplies the whole town;
the three others are in the gardens.
Sidi ell Mahdi had an active mind and
was curious Of novelties. He had
twenty gardens planted outside the
town, and had them surrounded by
walls; and 20 rose gardens around the
mosque. Dates, pomegranates, olives
and various kinds of vegetables were
planted in these gardens. Water is
abundantly supplied by the wells. Out
side the walls of Djaraboub can also
be seen five mills, also erected by his
orders, but they are no longer in use,
and are falling to pieces,
Sidi Mohammed ell Mahdi is still the
most venerated and popular figure Of
| Cyrenaica and the Soudan. He is al
ways being quoted or asked for help.
About 1896 he left Djaraboub, Uneasy
on account of the proximity of the
British. not liking that Of the Turks,
and took refuge at Kufra. In 1902 he
was either killed or wounded in an
encounter with the French somewhere
about the Kanem frontier; the faith
full say he assembled to heaven, from
whence he will return some day to
make the prophets standard, united
to that of the Senussi, triumphant
throughout the world. The greater
part of the Djaraboub population fol-
lowed him to Kufra, but Djaraboub
has kept it's character as the sanctu-
airy of Senussism to such an extent
that any member of the sect who has
made a pilgrimage to Mecca without
having made one to Djaraboub cannot
have the title of hadj Il. e., Pilgrim.

Bright With Gardens and Paint.
The Tangier of today is about five
miles long and three-quarters of a,
mile in width. The main street of the
town is banked on each side with
clean, whitewashed ratings and tall
poplar trees. Connected with the
homes are small canals which lead to
the creek that flows through the is
land. These canals answer the pur-
pose of roads, and most of the goods
coming to the people from the main
land are ferried up the tiny water
ways in small boats. For this rea-
son the citizens take pride in calling
Tangier the Venice of America"
Although there is little tillable land
nothing but small truck patches for
family use-small flower gardens are
attached to each home, with but few
exceptions, and these lend their charm
to the picturesque landscape in the
summer season. There are about 400
houses, all built of wood and costing
from $500 to $500 each. They are
pretty in design and are kept as
bright as paint can make them.
One writer in a recent article stated
that the homes were all built of logs.
that the men wore nothing but blue
jeans ard %brogans, and the women
dressed in calico and went in their
bare feet. This assertion was far from
the truth. There is not one log house
on Tangier. AS for dress, the tailor
ing firms N Baltimore are said to do
an annual business of $1,000 with the
people of the island, in addition to the
ready-made clothing that is bought at
Crisfield. There also are seven O
in Tangier, three in particular carrying
large stocks of merchandise, and two
milliners cater to the feminine Dor
tion of the population with the latest
styles in women's finery.

Excellent School System.

Quoted by a principal and five teach
ers. There is also a small schoolhouse
and chapel combined on the north end
of the island, presided over by n
teacher. Parents are eager that their
children should receive a good educa-
ton and zealously cooperate with the
instructors. AS a result, the school
system of Tangier compares favorably
with many other systems that make
far greater p%retensions.

elected by the people of Accomack
county, Virginia, of which Tangier is
a part, metes out justice with a strong
hand. The handsome Methodist
church, which is the center of the
islands religious life, cost $4,000, is
heated by steam, lighted by cleo
tricity. and is modern in every re-
spect. Brought up in this wholesome
environment, several former residents
of the island have achieved striking
success in other localities. A number
are tiourishing business men in Bal
timore and one is a member of the
Baltimore city bar.
The wonderful health of the people
can be traced to their clean and regu-
lar habits. No liquor has been law
fully sold on the island for the last
40 years. There is no fanatical op
position to it, however, and those who
indulge are permitted to bring it from

Three weeks later Roland Dalton
left his remote solitude, which no Cos
sip or newspaper had invaded. On
the train bound for the city he sat
spellbound. as his y scanned the
commercial column of the first news
pape- he had seer for nearly a month.
1t was the graphic story of the
broomcorn corner in Chicago. 1t told
of the wonderful coup that had given
Dalton & Co. practical control of the
market and a profit of a quarter of a
million dollars!
Dalton burst into the Office two days
later. 1t wore an air of briskness
and prosperity. Jerry beamed upon
him, Marcia stood flushing, eager,
trembling like a child who had as

What have you two been doing

Jerry told, and Dalton added, Come

Out of it Jerry came a few minutes
later. His eyes were aglow. He held
in his hand a little strip of paper. 1t
was a check for more money than he

Horse Not Really Intelligent.

Horses are generally given credit for
a great deal more intelligence than
they actually possess. Scientific tests
show that in wisdom such as human
beings display, horses are hopelessly
outclassed by dogs. monkeys, and even
by cats. The horse can be taught to
do certain things just because he is
too stupid to have ideas of his own.
Like many human prize pupils, he a
learn but cannot think.
