How C.othas-Pi Are MADE,

Clothcs-pins, not the kind with
springs. bat the ordinary biiurcatcd
wooden ones. are made in the large fac
tories of Maine where the machinery is
ingeniouSly arranged to save processes,
and above all to save handling. The
wood used is mainly white birch and
beech The logs are cut and hauled to
the water and lloatcd down to the mill.
Each log rs required Is raised with =
chain by steam power up an inclined
plane and carried to the first saw which
cuts it into sixteen inch lengths. These
pieces pass on to single machine
where they are made into boards three
quarters of an inch thick. Thence they
90 to u gang of twelve circular saws
where every board finds itself divided
into slcndcr sticks. The sticks are fed
TO little gang of three saws which
cuts out OF the sixteen inch stick three
neat littlo sticks of precisely five inches
in length, making the rough shape of
the clothcs-piu that is to be. The saw
inc is now all done. An elevator belt
takes the pieces up 10 several turning
machines, each of which rounds out
eighty clothes-pins i'll a minute, Final
~ Il slotting machine cuts out the long
slit in the pins, and another elevator
belt carried them to a new department
of the factory, where they are seasoned
from hot mir by steam pipes, in bins that
hold, say, scvcnty-two thousand clothes
pins each. Polishing is the next pro-
cess, and for this the pins are treated
like small Cast-iron articles, being put
into great cylinders and rcvolyed by
steam, till the friction Of the clothes
pins upon each other smooths the sur
faces and gives them some polish, but
not enough, for little ta,low is thrown
into each cylinder before the rolling
ceases, which finishes them TO perfec-
ton, The polishing drums are filled
through scuttleS from the drying bins
above, and are emptied directly below
to counter where the pins are sorted
into first and second grades, by girls,
who pack them into boxes of five gross
each, which are shipped to England
and Australia. as we'll rs to points in
the states. Boston Courier.
