How Shoe Pegs Are Made.

1t was the privilege of the writer to
visit the picturesque little town of Ar
lington, Vt, which at the time boosted
a population of $500, three churches,
five stores, two hotels, an extensive car
works, sash and blind, and chair facto-
ry; also "peg factory" which, by the
courtesy of the foreman, Mr.. l.. Z.
White (who had been employed there
twenty-nine years), he was shown
through, and received valuable infor-
nation. The timber used is black and
yellow birch, which is cut into pieces
four feet in length, varying in diameter
from eight to fourteen inches. These
logs are placed in a building in winter
and the frost extracted by steam. They
are then run in on tram railway to
the circular saw department, and cut
into slices or blanks of the thickness
desired for the length of the pegs
These are sorted and the knots cut out,
and are then passed on to long bench
which contains six machines composed
of fluted rollers. The blanks are then
run between these rollers, which creases
both sides. They are then run through
again to cross crease, or mark out the
exact sizes OF the pegs. They then go
to the splitting machines. which are
set with double knives, and cut the
blanks into pegs. AS they pass the
last machine they are sorted, and all
knots and discolored ones removed as
they are brushed off into large baskets.
These machines are under the care of

DR.. JOHN BULLS
Smiths Tonic Syrup
FOR THE CURE OF
fever and ACUE
Or CHILLS and FEVER.

The proprietor of this celebrated medicine
Justly claims for it a superiority over all rem
edles ever offered 10 the public for the SAFE,
CERTAIN, SPEEDY and PERMANENT cure
ofAgue and Fever, or Chills and Fever, wheth-
er Of short or long standing. He refers to the
entire Western and Southern country TO bear
him testimony to the truth of the assertion
that in no case whatever will it fail to cure il
the directions are strictly followed and carried
OUT In great many cases single dose has
been sufficient for a cure, and whole families
have been cured by single bottle with per-
feet restoration Of the general health. 1t is,
however, prudent, and in every case more GER
tain to cure, If its use is continued in smaller
doses for week or two after the disease has
been checked, more especially in difficult and
long-standing cases. Usually this medicine
will not require any aid to keep the bowels in
good order. Should the patient, however re-
quire cathartic medicine, after having taken
three or four doses of the Tonic. a single dose
of BULLS VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS
will be sufficient.
The genuine SMITHS TONIC SYRUP must
have DIR. JOHN BULLS private stamp on each
bottle. DR.. JOHN BULL only has the right to
manufacture and sell the original JOHN ],
SMITHS TONIC SYRUP, Of Louisville, Ky.
Examine well the label on each bottle, If my
private stamp is not on each bottle 90 not
purchase, or you will be deceived.

probability he will recover from his
wounds; yet it must be borne in mind
that the injuries were very serious at
