barrel which our grandmother used To-
set us ri when We were boys, before going
Ia school IN the morning. Then u u
drawn through the rinser, which II y
simple and novel machine, continually
supplied with pure Artesian well water.
The thread passes over = roller into The
water, comes up again over another roller
her down into the water, and up ANA
down. and out and in, and out and over
the reels into the great boxes on wheels,
from which it il put into a large water
extractor, a perforated hollow cylinder,
revolving several thousand times per min.
ute. and thenit IL transported to the dry
ing room. In this way five hundred heads
can be rinsed in four minutes which used
TO take an hour and a half. Alter the
thread has come out of the drying room,
CoLoRED OR UNCOLoRED,
il goes to the warerooms, where 1t IL
counted and put into packages to be given
out preparatory to being wound upon
spools for the market. The thread hav-
ing reached this stage of perfection, has
become very valuable and is looked after
with the greatest care. Tickets direct 1t
To its different departments and denote
its size, quality, etc. TIE inspect
ion and testing of thread is one OF the
mostimportant features in its production,
and it would surprise the lady who sews
day after day with Clark's go. \. T.,
Spool Cotton, to know by what patientand
constant care the perfect smoothness INC
regularity of TIE thread was secured. It's
now taken TO the hank winding depart
ment and wound upon large bobbins, when
It is ready forts last wind upon thespools,
from which it is taken by the consumers
for its thousand uses of necessity and utll-
ity. from tying the rag on the boys whit
tied and bloody finger, to the delicate EN-
broidery of the wedding garment.
H sPooLING DEPARTMENT.
The spooling room lisa busy place, where
spools Of thread of all sizes and colors by
tensofthousands are woundevery day two
hundred yardson a spool. The seltacting
smoothing machine is a marvellous piece OF
mechanism. The spools are placed in an
iron gutter by the operator, when the ma
chine picks them up,puts them on a shaft
eight at atime, winds the thread uponthem
at the rate of three thousand revolutions
per minute, cuts a little slot in the edge OF
| Tho spool. catches the thread in it, nlps II
off. drops the spools full of thread into
boxes below, picks up eight more empty
%spools, places, winds and dropst them as be
fore. and never makes a mistake. The ma
chine. which, is used in this country only by
heClarkThreadC Company was exhibited
by them at the Centennial, and with thei'
magnificent case Of goods, was n OF thu
great attraction among the many wonder
of the exhibition. From the sPooling de
partment, the spoiled thread is taken Il
THE wAREROOM,
where the beautiful little label contain
ing the name, number, etc, of the thread
Is but on by girls. The quickest of then
will nut labels on the ends of nine or ter
thousand in a day, all of which have to be
moistened by the tongue, placed on the
snool, and then struck with the hand &c
haste it. Some of these girls work about
as quick as lightning. After ticketlng,
the spools of thread are put into boxes
of one dozen each. They are then ready
for packing. About twenty-five thousand
feet of lumber per month is cut at tht
mills, in Michigan, to the various lengths
reouired, and all that is done here is t.
mt the boxes together. A private wir'
rms from the works in Newark to tn
Nork York office, and the line is KEEP
busy in sending orders and t%ransmittin!
messages of the company. In the shor
time we we're there several large order
came in from different parts OF the coun
try. and among them were some iron
Maine, Texas, California, Wisconsin
Oregon. etc. The Clark Thread Compa
: nv sends out annually vast quantities Q
show cards, calendars, etc, some of whicI
are magnificent specimens of the 1.-the

; IsTHIS A FAIR COUNT?

one mound of cotton undergoes is on

ing demonstrates the apparently in
, credible statement: The web of cottol
{, from which this immense lengthof threa
: is drawn is forty inches wide. 1t goes 7
: the carder, where it is drawn to 4xl2C
: equal to 4SO feet. Then the drawing fran
g increases it to 4S0x6, equal to $3.50; tn
Ianper 2,SS0x2l. equal TO 6,4SOi tn
cnmaer draws it out TO G, 4S0x26, equal t
/ les, 4SO; then it goes to the first hea
G drawing frame, where los, 4SOx6 equal t
1,0l0, $50.
I THE SECOND DRAWING FRAME
e multiplies the last length by six agal
making 1910, SSOx6 equal to 6,O65,2S'

a frame where SO, 39l, 6S0x5 5 is equalto Isl
95S, 4OO;the second slubber ISL ,96s, 4O9x+
equal TO S1S,s1 500; the intermedia
