If you had to drive a fine needle through a nickel or a quarter dollar, perhaps yon would not know bow to go about it. Let us tell yon. Thrust the needle through the mid- of s cork so that its point can barely be felt at the other end. If part of it projects at the upper end of cork, clip it off flush by means of s pair of shears. Now a nickel or a silver quarter on two blocks of wood with a little space between them, put the cork on the coin so that the needle point will be over tho strike the cork a sharp blow with s heavy hammer and the thing is done. The cork keeps the needle from bending, and as it is harder than the metal in the coin and is bound to move when struck, it will go through the coin. Naval For Kites.
