He was compelled for that night to sleep on a wire cot which had only some blankets and a sheet on it. As the statesman is a fat can, he found his improvised bed anything but comfortable.

By a computation made ten years was shown that at that time | the weekly production of pins in Great Britain was 280,000,000. Then 120,000,000 were made in France, and 120,000,000 ia Germany, Holland and , Belgium. Since that time the production of pins has increased largely. The biggest pin manufacturing city in the world is Birmingham, where 37,000,000 pins, on an average, are manufactured every working day. The other pin factories in Great Britaiu together turn out about 19,000,000 pins daily. Psycho ogy of the Setting Hen.
