Making Quilts and Comforts by Ma
chinery.
fSt. Louis Republican


Quilt-making by machinery is new
industry, and st. Louis has one of the
four manufactures in the United States
engaged in IL, and the only one in the
west operated by steam.
All cotton used is run through
picker which. while loosening the
staple into light batting, thoroughly
cleans it. by an endless apron tho
batting is conveyed from thepicker into
an upper room, and thence transferred
to tables forming part Of the several
quilting machines and spi cad on to tho
cloth which is TO form the lining of the
quilts. simultaneously, this lining with
its overlap of fluffy cotton and the double
width prints for the covering are au-
tomatically drawn forward between two
horizontal pressure rolls at the passage
from which is an array of needles ex-
tending the width of the quilting. At
this point the contrivsnce may lie de-
scribed as many-needled sewing ma
chine operating with such rapidity as to
stitch full-sized quilt in single min
ute.
One of these machines, which by the
way is exclusively the right of this
company, rivals the feats Of Japanese
juggler in its eccentric figure stitching.
The operator can ut pleasure divert the
needles from straight line stitching TO
Zigzag, to serPentine, wave or double
wave, diamond or double diamond and
several other ornamental figures. The
variety of decorations of the prints
used must accommodate every conceiv-
able taste. No less than. l3J distinct
patterns are represented in the
stock now making. comprising
in hues the brilliant, the sober,
and all between, embellishing arab
esque and Mosaic designs, dainty flow
ers, pretty birds, children at play, i'm
itations Of the grandmother patchwork,
and even studies from the brushes OF
Artists.
Forty different grades of comforts are
produced. covered by as many grades
from the lowest to the, highest-of
American and European prints. But
even in the cheapest Of them the filing
is clean cotton.
Leaving the needle where we left il
in its course of making, the quilting
passes back under the machine and
on TO a cylinder, from which, subse-
quently, il is cut into lengths for bed
service. These are then taken in hand
by girls in charge of power sewing ma
chimes, and by them neatly hemmed.
Now the goods are carried to inspection
table, where experts search for defects
in stitching. which, il any be found, are
amended by girls employed at machines
for this purpose. Tho faultless goods
are dropped through chute into the
packing room, where, by means OF q
press, they are cempactly baled, q
dozen in each package, with substantial
oovarinus f;ttiper than for shin,naut

A Mother's Responsibility.

Mamma" said delicate little
girl, ~ have broken my china vase.'
We'll, you are a naughty, careless.
troublesome little thing, always in
some mischief; go upstairs and wait
till I send for you.'
And this was a mothers answer to
fearful little culprit who had strug-
gled with and conquered the tempta-
ton to tell n falsehood to screen her
fault. With n disappointed, dis
heartenea look the sweet child obey
ed; and at that moment was crushed
in her little heart the sweet flower of
truth, perhaps never again in after
years to blossom into life. Oh, what
were the loss of thousand vases in
comparison? 'Tis true IAN angel
might shrink from the responsibility
of \ mother. 1t needs an angels
powers. The watch must not for an
instant be relaxed; the scales of
Justice must always be nicely bal
auced the hasty word that the over
taxed spirits sends TO the lips must
die there before it is uttered. The
timid and sensitive child must have
word of encouragement in season;
the forward and presuming checked
with gentle firmncss; there must be
no deception or trickery for the keen
eye of childhood TO detect, and above
all. when the exhausted brain sinks
with ceasless vigils, perhaps, and the
thousand petty Interruptions and
unlocked for annoyances of every
hour set at defiance any attempt Mt
system, still must that mother wear
an unrufflcd brow, lest the smiling
cherub on her knee catch the angry
frown. Still must she rule her own
spirit, lest the boy engrossed with
his toys repeat the next moment the
impatient word his car has caught.
For all the duties faithfully perform
ed mothers reward is in secret and
silence. Even he on whose earthly
breast she leans, is too often unmind-
full of the noiscless struggle, till, loo
late, alas he learns to value the del
icatc hand that has kept in unceasing
flow the thousand springs of domes-
tic hapDincss.
