FOR THE FAIR SEX.


A recent letter from the national
capital says: Everybody in Washing
ton has been curious for months to
catch glimpse of the Chinese minis
ter's young wife, but the Celestial
custom of excluding the ladies from
the public gaze prevented any gratifi-
cation of the general desire. The old
diplomat himself, with his petticoats
and parasol, is frequently seen upon
the avenue, walking with a stumbling
gait the rarely rides J, and all of his
secretaries and male attendants are
familiar personages to those who spend
much time out Of doors. A few even
1ngs ago the minister left the lega-
ton, accompanied by what appeared
to be a youthful-looking little boy, and
entered an + street car He looked
like boy, and as he dressed very little
different to the ministers and
Others of the legation, a casual
glance would certainly lead the
spectator TO conclude the little stranger
was of the male sex. Pretty soon the
minister's companion put out a foot
one of the daintiest imaginable-an
the truth began to dawn upon the
other passengers in the car. The min
ister's wife was before them. The
little lady looked about her curiOusly,
as if she was enjoying great treat
in being permitted to get out of doors
and look about her. She wore plain
black or very dark purple silk The
males wear swarths of linen about the
ankles. but in her case the loose pan
talets extended down to the shoes.
The yoke of her gown, or frock,
differed from that of her husband in
being shirred like a Mother Hub
bard" Her hair was very long and
black, and was drawn up into roll
and pinned at the back of her head
with turquoise jewels. Nothing else
was worn upon her head. At Seventh
street the pair alighted and greatly en-
joyed the walk down to Pennsylvania
avenue, gazing into shop windows on
the way, the minister's wife looking
with the wonder of a child at the
sights around her. They strolled
leisurely along, as if out for the day,
and though they said little the curious
eyes of passers-by. as they turned to
look at the wife, evidently annoyed the
husband considerably.

Isolation from Cholera.

As to the success of complete isola-
ton in preventing infection by cholera
the fact is quoted that in 1881 the
court of Russia ISOLATED itself at Peter
hof as long as the plague continued.
Round the imperial palace tie pestl-
lence made terrible ravages, but not
one of the 1000 Inhabitants of the
palace was attacked. In 1856 the
military school and prison at Con-
stantinople isolated themselves in the
midst Of the city full of cholera, and
not pupil nor prisoner suffered. In
the same year Sicily kept strictly
isolated from all communication with
the infected countries, and the island
remained exempt from the terrible dis
ease.

How SpoOls are Made.

In the manufacture of spoOls white
birch Is used exclusively. The wood
is first Sawed into pieces four feet in
length and of nine sizes, varying by
siXteenths from an inch TO an inch
md half square. 1t is then dried as
thoroughly as it can be out of doors
Inside the factory it first goes To tho
rougher, where the strips are first cut
into cylinders the length Of spool
and the hole bored. the turning and
boring being performed ut one opera,
ton. and the cutting off with Il small
circular saw 1T another, all on one ma.
chine. These little cylinders drop
from the rougher into n barrel, from
whence they arc removed TO the rollers
or revolving slated cylinders in which
the fine dirt and fuzz left by the saw
and bits are removed. The pieces are
then picked over by hand and all i'm
perfect ones are sorted out t. feed tho
ever hungry fires under the boiler,
The next process is a more thorough
seasoning of the blocks in a loft, anG
then they 60 to the reamer, where the
center holes arr made TO the exact sic
required, which cannot be done 10y The
Tougher on account of the shrinkingot
the wood a tier leaving that machine
Until lately the roaming has been don,
by an ordinary roaming tool working
in a lathe, the work being fed 10y
hand; but n new machine has been
recently put in which will ream the
spoolS as fast as two boys can fee
them into the spouts. At each oscI!.
lation of the shaft two spools ara
reamed. one at each end, the machine
tn ming out about 24O per minute.
The next machine is theffinisher
which is an attachment to an ordinary
lathe, ~ which the spools are turned
into shape by one operation, at the rate
of 1000 to 1900 per hour. There are
eight cutting knives on this machine
one at each end, standing up perpen-
dicular to the length Of the spool for
trimming the end; one at each
end, horizontally, for turning
the outside of the fange;
between these, two others, standing
diagonally, for the inside of the ilange
another, horizontally, for turning out
the space between the two Ranges, and
a Small circular chsel for cutting the
finish on the top of the spool. The
spools have now received their shape
and need only the finishing touches
These are given first by the poli,hers
which are the same as the rollers
above, the friction of the spools aganst
each other giving them the required
polish. After remaining in this from
four to five hours they are again sorted
by hand and all imperfect ones r.
moved, after which they go to the en-
bosser, a sort of printing machine
which stamps the number of The
thread and some ornamental devices
upon the head Of each spool They
are then packed in stout sacks accord,
ing to the size of the spools. -Nanr,
