enough to hold his tongue"
what do you censure ?"
"A man that marries girl for her fine
clothes, youth who studies medicine while he
has the use of his hands, and the people who

"What do you laugh at?"

How SpOOls are Made.

The wood, after being delivered to the fac
tories, is first sawed into pieces about four
feet long and from one to one and a hall
inches square, according to the size of the
spool it is desired to make. These pieces are
put into lighthouse and there thorough
ly dried, whence they are taken into the fac
tory and given to the rougher, who, in an in
credibly short space of time, bores hole in
the centre a couple of inches deep, turns
about the same space round, and then cuts of
the length required for a spool. The ma
chimes used for this purpose are revolving
planers in the centre of which is Il revolving
gimet or bit, and Immediately to the right n
small circular saw, with Il guage set to pro-
per size for the spools. The roughers receive
one and one half cents per gross for their
work, and experienced men can turn out from
100 to 100 gross per day. The round blocks
pass from them to the tinishers, who place
them in machines which gives them the shape
of spools and makes them quite smooth The
spools are thrown loosely into a large cyln-
der, which revolves slowly, so that the spools
are polished by the constant rubbing upon
each other for some time. On being taken
ont of the cylinder they are placed in hopper
with an opening al the bottom, through which
they pass down a slide for inspection. Here
the inspector sits and watches closely to SCI,
that no imperfect spools are allowed to pass,
and very small knot or scratch is sufficient
to condemn them They are packed in large
boxes made the proper size, and no addition
al packing is needed. The packers receive
quarter of a cent per year for packing, and
smart boy who is accustomed TO the work
can pack about 200 gross per day One
proprietor ships over 100000 spools per
month to England, and another firm ships
over 1000 600 spools to Glasgow, Scotland.
