“i Owe My Life to Hood’s
Sarsaparilla ”
“Words are powerless to express the gratl~
rude I feel toward, Hood’s Sarsapar-illa, for
under God, I feel and know that to this mediI-
cine I owe my life. Twelve years agoI
‘- egan to bloat, followed by nausea at the
10112-1011, and later with swelling: of the
iimhs, accompanied by severe pain, This
gradually grew worse until three years ag
hysicians told me the trouble was
Caused by a Tumor
For several months I had been unable to retain
any food of a solid nature. I was greatly
emaciated, had frequent hemorrhages, and
was satisfied the doctors were right in saym ymg
my life was nearly over. One day a frlen
suggested that Itr Hood’s Sarsaparilla; I did
so, and for 3 or 4 ays I was sicker than ever,
but I kept on and gradually began to feel better.
I Began to Feel Hungry
Could, after a time, retain solid food, increased
in weight, the saffron hue left my skin, the
bloating subsided, and I felt better all over.
For the past two years my health has been
finite good, and I have been able all the time to
o the housework for my famil. After what it
has done for me I never hesita to recommend
Hood’s Sarsaparilla. ” MRS. OGDEN SNYDER,

THE ANTIQUITY OF PINS.
SOME HISTORIC FACTS ABOUT THE
USEFUL LITTLE ARTICLES.
__‘._.._,.
In Early ‘Tlmes Thorns Were Used as
Pins—In England Pins Were Intros
‘dnced in the Fifteenth Century—How
Early Pins W'erelllade.
There is nothing new under the sun;
Pins of various sorts have been in ex-
istence ever since our “ first par’ents "
clothed themselves in palm leaves
which grew wild in the Garden of Eden.
As a matter of fact, pins claim a very
high antiquity, the earliest form being
natural thorn, which is still used to
the peasant women of Upper Egypt. In
prehistoric times pins were also made of
the small bones of fish and animals.‘
Among the remains of the lake dwell-
ers of Europe have been found bronze
pins and bronze brooches, in which the,
pin forms the prominent feature, many
of which are highly ornamented and
very beautiful. A few copper and one
iron pin have also been found. It is
~ estimated that 10,000 pins have been col-
lected at the lacustrine station of Switz-
erland alone. A few of these pins hay
double stems and were probably used as
hairpins” Three --have been found at
Peschiera, which are exactly the same in
form as the safety pins of the present
time.
Among the single-stemmed pins are
many ingenious devices for preventing
the spike from passing entirely through
the cloth or other material it is used for
fastening together. Many of. them are
so formed that they are thicker in some
places than in others. A large number,
both of bone and bronze, have the head
formed of a loose ring passed through an
eye in the pin. A few of them have the
appearance of the scarf pins now in use.
In Egypt pins with gold heads have
been discov ered, while ancient Roman
bronze pins and bone hairpins with orna-
mental heads have been discovered
» among the relics Of Pompeii.
In England the ordinary domestic pin
had become in the fifteenth century an
article of sufficient importance to war-
rant legislative notice. An act of Par-
liament passed in 1483 prohibited the
importation of pins. As a necessity of
the toilet pins were introduced .into
England in, the latter part of the fifteenth
century by Katherine Howard, Queen of
Henry VIII” who received them from
France
Very good pins were made at this
period of brass, but a large portion of
them were made of iron, which were
blanched and sold for brass pins. >In
order to prevent this imposition upon the
good people of England, Parliament in
1543 passed an act providing the. ' “ no
person shall put to sale any pins but such
as shall be double headed and have the
heads soldered fast to the shank of the
pins, well smoothed, the shanks well
shapen, the points well rounded,
filed, canted and sharpened. "
England continued to depend upon
France for its supply of pins until the
year 1626, when John Tilsby introduced
the manufacture in Gloucestershire. His
business grew to such an extent that it is
said he gave employment to about 1,500
persons; at any rate,
pihs, as they were called, gained a high
reputation. In 1636 the manufacture
was introduced into Bristol and Bir-
.mingham, the latter place ultimately
pecoming the great center of the indus-
ry.
In 1775 a prize was offered to the colo-
nists of Carolina who introduced the
first native pins and needles. During
the war of 1812, when, owing to restric-
tions upon commerce the price of pins
rose to the enormous price of $1 per
paper, the manufacture was actually -
‘started in the United States, but does
not seem to have met with success, as
the enterprise was soon abandoned. The
industry was not fairly started in this
country until the year 1836.
The early pins in this country, as in
England, were made with globular heads
of fine twisted wire, made separately,
and secured to the shank by compression
from a falling block and die. These
old pins had the misfortune of often
parting with their heads. It was to
overcome this difficulty that the atten-
tion of the early inventors was directed.
The solid-headed pin, in common use to-
(113216 took the place of the old form about
Before the introduction of machinery
pins were made by manual labor' m such
away as to require their passage through
the hands of fourteen different persons
before completion. By machinery in use
at the present time it is estimated that
160 pins are turned out per minute. In
England 50, 000 000 pins are made daily,
of which 37, 000, 000 are made 1n Birm-
ingham alone. Connecticut“ 13 the prin-
cipal centre of the industry in the United
States.
What becomes of the enormous num-
ber of pins manufactured every year is
an interesting problem which is often
asked but never satisfactorily answered.
It is safe to say, however, that thereare
more of these little necessities lost in a
year than any other article made. -—

Mr. Hamond, the successful Unionist
candidate, in his magisterial capacity in
Newcastle, is very _well knoWn among
the people. While Mr. Hamond was
addressing the people a voice from the _
crowd bellowed forth, “ Get your hair
cut, Charlie.” Adjusting his spectacles
and fixing an imperturable look upon the
individual, he retorted with splendid
sangfroid, “ My dear friend, if I am not
mistaken, I have been the means of your
hair out before today. ” — NeWcastle
