How They Are Made--A Visit to a Factory in Vermont.
 

In Vermont.
 New York Mail
 IL was the privilege of the writer to visit the picturesque little town of Ar iington, Vt, which gt that time boasfed population of 2,500, three churches, five stores, two hotels, an extensive car works, sash and blind and chair factory, also peg factory" which, by the cour- tesy of the foreman. NIT. l.. E. White (who had been employed there twenty nine years), he was shown through and received valuable information. The timber used is black and yellow birch, which Is cut into pieces four feet in length, varying in diameter from eight feet to fourteen inches. These logs are placed in building in winter and the frost extracted by steam. They are then run in on a 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 nots cut out, and are then D ssed on to 3 long bench which contains six machines composed of huted rollers. The blanks are then run between these rollers, which creases both sides They are then nun through again to cross crease, or mark out the exact sizes of 
 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 3iscolored ones removed as they are brushed of into large baskets These machines are under the care Of young women who ap- paared much more happy and useful than do many ofthose who, thumping at their piano. wonld consider such en- ploymeat menial The next process is bleaching, which is accomplished by the fumes of birthstone, which is unhealthy those who labor here shorten their lives. They are then placed in large cylinders, which hold eleven barrels, and have 600 steam pipes running through them, and reyolve one and one half time 10 the minute, drying charges per day 10 each cylinder. They are then passed in large wooden casks, or eylin- dels, which, revolving rapidly, polish them by the friction, the refuse falling through wire sieves or screen openings afteT which they are again passed into sifter which separates all the single pegs and drops them into tubs or boxes, leav- ing those which have not been separated in the machine. They are then put in bar rels ready for market. The factory run ninco full time turns out l50 bushels, or fifty barrels per day The sizes go from eight up to sixteen to an inch. The lengths go by eights. two and one-half to twelve Twenty-six hands are employ e3, half of them being women. The products of this mill are mostly shipped 10 Germany and France and enter large ly into the manufacture of toys and fan cy goods as well as into the shoe manu- factory Thus the "geni of me chanism' convert, ss by magic, the trees rom the Vermont mountains into articles of use, when. floating eff through the channels Of commerce 10 far away countries, anon return to sparkle the eyes of happy chil- dren in toys in which these pegs have become important factors.

Early historic races supply illustrations, as the Hebrews in the affair of Saul and Jonathan, and as the Homeric Greeks when fixing on a champion to fight with Hector. Tn both these last cases there was belief in supernatural interference: the lot was supposed to be divinely determined. and probably at the outset, choice by lot for political purposes among the Athe- nians, and for military purposes among the Romans, as also in latter times, the use of the lot for choosing deputies in some of the Italian republics, and in Spain las Leon during the twelfth cen tury,) was influenced by 8 kindred be- lief; though doubtless the desire to give equal chances to rich and poor, or else to assign without dispute a mission which was onerous or dangerous, entered into the motive or was even pred0mi- nant. Here. however. the fact to be noted is, that this mode of choice which plays a part in representation may also be traced back to the usages of primitive people.
