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 80 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 q
wire of the proper length to 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 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 one period, when pins were ex'
pensive Injuries, 1t was customary ia
give young lady certain amount
on her marriage for pin money" The
custom disappeared long ago. but the
term pin money" remains.

Old Drinking Cup Urn.

Much interest was reused in In
verurie, Scotland, lately, by the dis
covery of an ancient drinking cup urn.
This cup, however, is not the only one
of its kind, for three other drinking
cup urns have been found within the
past five years. each in a grave formed
of Correen stone. With one of the
urns the skeleton of a man was found
lying on its side in crouching posi-
ton. The urn unearthed the other
day belongs to the Scottish bronze
age, and is believed by some archae-
ologists to have contained food or
liquid when deposited in the grave
along with the body.

I'll lose 1t rather than take the lot

THE first was a notification that
our people at Aberdeen had shipped

no one can handle II on our contract

simply cannot take it,"

Never had Jerry Watson seen so
determined a look on the little lady's
face. There was power unutterable in
the expression.
"Mr. Watson" she said, resolutely,
and there was a tremulous thrill in
her voice, Il am not willing that an
opportunity should be allowed to pass

Snowsheds a Necessity.

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

buried to the caves, is a frequent
sight This peculiar condition in the
Sierras was the cause for building the
snowsheds, which extend 80 miles
along the railway tracks between Blue
canyon and the Truckee. Without
these sheds the railroad could not be
operated, but their cost is enormous.

Mr.. Orlando Harrison,
Annapolis, Md.
Dear Mr.. Harrison:-
Last fall / started to build road
which have given to the State of
Delaware, and acquired rights of
way from the Maryland line to
Georgetown, in fact contracts were
let for all this work.
Work was started in, five or six
different places but winter weather
came on, making it unsafe to lay
concrete just before any of the con-
tractors had quite finished up. 1
should judge there were probably
fourteen or sixteen smiles of the
twenty finished, in sections from
two to five miles long and this work
ought to be completed six weeks
after Spring opens.
have secured rights of way
estimated at 75 per cent. of the dis
tance between Georgetown and Mil
ford. AS soon as all of these rights
of way are secured Will let con-
tracts for this sixteen or seventeen
miles.
At the time the terminus for the
road was selected at the Maryland
line, your people agreed to join me
and build to Berlin and now that the
road to Georgetown IS an assured
fact and under contract it seems to
me time for the Maryland people to
start something.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) COLEMAN DUPONT.
