Further on are five or six trees standing togetlur I their mnss showing a wealth of color that a landscape artist might rejoice to reproduce with his art. Any one of scores of groups of these trees would. In a public park or large pri'vate grounds, be a never-ending object of admiration. | Ho who has not road of hawthorn hedges has not read the literature of England, remarks a writer in the Little Rock Gazette. In that country of beautiful landscapes the haw blooms in many spots that have been beautified by long years of care. And it has ts legends, both pagan and Christian. , I- has been regarded as the emblem of hope ami Its branches are said to have been carried by the ancient Greeks in wedding processions and to have been used to deck the altar el t Hymen.

Man Is a burrowing animal. In the pursuit of wealth he will even burrow under the sea. The most valuable -on mines in Nova Scotia are under 'the ocean. There are outcroppings of lie ore bods on shore, but the miners follow them far out as they dip down under the sea floor. It might be asked, how do they prevent the sea floor from caving in upon them? No trouble at all about that. Enough of the iron-bearing material is I ft untouched to serve as pillars, upholding the roof. Elsewhere on the coast of Nova Scotia coal is mined in the same way, under the sea. It is an excellent quality of bituminous coal. On the coast >■* Cornwall, in England, mining is d 'tic for tin tinder the ocean, the lodes being followed out from shore. The bottom is of solid granite and the workmen can actually hear the Itoul<«er.s rolling about over their heads as the storm waves drive them about. In <>ne case a vein extraordinarily r. h in tin was found at extreme low voter in a patch of rock. A bulkhead I was built around the rock and a shaft sunk, large quantities of precious ore being taken out before a storm wiped out the work. Great Writers and Their Dcgs. In the Cornhill Magazine Percy Stevenson writes of the affection of Sir Walter Scott for his dogs. An author surely Is known not merely by the books he writes but by the company he keeps among the “brute creation.“ Sir Walter's affection for dogs, •he writer tells us, “amounted almost to a passion.” Byron loved dogs be:tnse they were unlike men. Mr. Stevenson declares, hut Scott cared for them for their own sweet selves. Is it too much to assert tliat in return for his devotion to them the dogs of whom Scott wrote will help to assure the immortality of his writings? Dr. John Brown will be remembered not for his ihreo volumes of sketches, “Horae Subseeivae." but for the tender and unforgettable "Rab and His Friends.” Oddities of the Frog. If size of the head were an index of brain ’lower the frog would be in intellectual prodigy. Its cranium is huge, but its brain Is very small in proportion to the hotly. The frog has only nine vertebrae — fewer than any other animal with a backbone possesses. Lacking ribs, it !■; obliged to swallow by gulps the air It breathes. Instead of projecting its chest as we do and creating a vacuum for air to pour into. The frog is in his way one of the . most wonderful animals known, inasmuch as he begins life as a vegetable* eating fi-h (or the equivalent), and later on turns into a carnivorous airbreathing land quadruped.—Kansas i City Star. “Arabian Nights” Authors Unknown. I The “Arabian Nights” came to ns out of the mysterious East with no hint of authorship. They v ere fii*t made known to Europe by Antoine Garland, a French orientalist, between • 1 <l4 and 1717, Not only is the author- i ship of the stories not known, but. In-1 deed, the flood of manuscripts that j bear them down to our times differ I . widely. In their most complete form j we have 262 tales, though this does * not include one of the most famous | stories, that of Aladdin, the Arabic 1 text Os Which has been kuovn but a few years.

PINS NOT LONG PERFECTED Production of th. Re*"/ T’I"'"*' 1 "'"*'* 4 Product Only Dates Back to th* Y.ar 1824. lr.-1775 the American congress, real- , 1(7'11’ the absolute necessity for P n Os the country, offered a bonus of . £SO for the first twenty-five dozen . mesttc plus equal to those imported , from England. , In 17‘,i7 Timothy Harris of England ■ devised the first solid-headed pin. Muerlesn Inventive genius, as usual, continued on the job until the bes Idea was hit upon. Lemuel Wellman Wright of this country Invented a ; n!a ehlne In 1824 which gave the Industry much headway. His machine made solid heads to the pins by a process similar to the making of nallv . bv driving a portion of the pin Itself into a countersunk hole. This was done automatically and consisted of a device by which the wire was seized in two small grooved cheeks. When noth cheeks are placed face to face, the wire is held tightly in the groove witli a small portion projecting, a | small hammer connected with the ma- s chine strikes on the projecting portion. thus forming the head. Seven years later, in 1831. John Ire- I land Howe, a doctor In Bellevue bos- fl pital. New York, invented a machine for making perfect solid-headed pins. A company was organized and a factory started at Derby, Conn. STIRRED COURT TO PROTEST | Judge Had Stood for a Good Deal From “Rattled” Attorney, but There Was a Limit. A surgeon once confessed to Sir Edward Carson that on the nifftt before he was to he cross-examined by him he dreamed he was on the operating table and Sir Edward was ruthlessly dissecting him.-'ll is one of the most trying ordeals in life to lie crossexamined by a skillful counsel. Sometimes, however, the counsel suffers from nervousness or indecision, and nn amusing case is cited by Mr. J. A. Strahan in his book. "The Bench and the Bar of England." It Is n«t necessary to relate the beginning of the tale. The counsel s condition is concisely summed up in this despairing cry from the judge: “Mr. Attorney, so long as yon con s’stently called the plaintiff, whose I name is Jones, by the name of Smith, j and the defendant, whose name is I Smith, by the name of Jones, the jury I anil I could follow yon; hut now that I you have introduced the name of Rob- ] Inson. without indicating in anv way whether you mean it to refer to the plaintiff or to the defendant, or to both Indifferently, we arc beginning to I get bothered a bij!” Really Wonderful Machine. Samuel Slocum of Connecticut Invented the first pin-sticking machine. Dor-tor Howe utilized it In his factory in 1841. This machine Is almost Im- I man in its workings. One workman feeds It with pins and another feeds it with papers. The first part of this machine is a box about 12 inches long by 6 inches broad and 4 inches deep; the bottom is made nf -mnll square steel bars, sufficiently wide apart to iet the shank of the pin fall through, hut not the heads, and they are just as thick a- the space between the papered pins. The lower part of the bottom of the box is made to de’ach itself as soon as the row of pins is complete, and raw after row at regular intervals is received ! and passed down a corresponding set of grooves, until they reach the paper, —which is punched into regular folds and pierced to receive the pins, which come exactly at their places and are pressed into them, Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway. Is there a question on Gods round earth more interesting than the following: “What attracted William Shakespeare to Anne Hathaway?” She was a woman ten years his senior. He married her when he was 18. She lived in a thatched cottage in the hamlet of Shottery (you may see the cottage raduy). While his imagination was away among the kings and queens and women of rare blossoming, whose beauty ruled cautious men, whose nimble wit overthrew the Shylocks of the middle ages, Shakespeare chose Anne Hathaway, she bore him two ; sons and a daughter, and in his will ’ he left her his best bed.—Chicago ■ Journal. — t Man’s Ever-Faithful Friend.
