A quart of pins, hair-pins, and needles was lately found in the nest of
a mouse when some workmen tore down the piazza of an old hotel in
Massachusetts. So that accounts for some of the pins which are always
disappearing. They were taken away by a foolish little mouse, and could
not have made a very soft bed for her family.
