from seven-eighths of an inch to three
inches square, according to the size
of the spool to be produced. These
sticks, after being thoroughly season.

dried in a hot-air kiln. At the time
they are sawed a hole is bored
through them. The spool machine is
managed by a boy, who throws out
the knotty or defective pieces. The
spools polish themselves by their
motion and contact in revolving
drums. Some of the spools are dyed
yellow, red or black; others are
ready for use when they leave the
drums.
The number of yards of cotton on a
spool is determined by the spool.
The cotton is never measured, but
the spool is guaged to contain 100.
200, or 500 yards, as the case may
be. Silk and linen firms always send
to their spool makers patterns giving
the size and shape of the barrel and
of the head and bevel, which deter
mines the amount of silk or thread
that the spool will hold.

The Canadian Northwest as a field
for settlers and emigrants seems to be
declining in favor. Such. at least, is
the inference to be drawn from the
figures contained in the annual report
of the minister of the Interior. This
report shows a falling off in homestead
and presumption grants and sales of
land in the Northwest during the past
year, as compared with 1882, equal to
81 per cent. The total area of land
taken up last year was 1881 1882
acres, against 2, 500 146 acres in 1882.
There was decrease of over 200, 900
acres of homestead and about an
equal area of presumption lands taken
up during the year, as compared with
the year before. Since the Canadian
Northwest was opened up for settle
ment only 1887 ,719 acres have been
taken up by homestead and pre-
emption grants and land sale. 1t is
anticipated that, owing to the agita.
ton in the Northwest and other causes,
there will be large falling off in the
number of emigrants to Canada dur
ing The present year, as compared
with 1883.

personalities are unconsciously impart-

the eas graceful flow apparent in
ha4gdal or thoughtless writing. Lines
show more of nervousness and hesi-
fancy, while the whole construction

handwriting abounds in well nigh
numoerless habitual peculiarities, of

and avoid all the habitual character

skill required to exactly initiate an
unpractced hand), that l do not con

How the Thanksgiving Turkey Origi'
mated,

uuttWs
In 1921 the Pilgrim Fathers had
been eleven months planting their
little colony in the wilderness of the
New World, subduing the forest and
Indians, and enjoying their civil and
religious liberty Esteeming their
pro gress to be a success, they resolved
to ct apart day for public praise and
thanksgiving to the God who had pro
tefed and delivered them from the
y go th.t heset their first work in
freedom. Having made a treaty of
peace with the Indians, they decided
to invite the chief, Massasoit, and his
associates, to partake with them a
public Thanksgiving Dinner. Just
here they found themselves embar.
rassed in properly supplying their
table with edibles suitable for the oc
casion Corn, potatoes, turnips and
pumpkins of their summer production
were decidedly inadequate for the en-.
tertainment of their guests. So Gov
ernor Winthrop dispatched four
hunters into the forest to procure some
game In due time they returned
with supply Of wild turkeys. which
probably made the most enjoyable
dinner that has been spread from that
day to this And more, that turkey
dinner has been initiated now 262
years, and will be for years to come,
And while the Pilgrims praised Their
God, the Indians blessed the turkey.

4 Singular Road Rcd

There is vast bed Of rock salt in
the Colorado Desert, near Idaho; and
the southern Pacific railroad in laying
the track to the salt mine have been
Obliged to grade the road for twelve
hundred feet with blocks of these
beautiful Jumps of salt crystals. This
is the first instance of a railroad road
bed being laid and ballasted on salt, of
which we have any knowledge. The
sea that once rolled over this place
dried up, and left vast bed of salt
about fifty miles in length. The
quality is superb, and the supply in
exhaustible. Grasshoppers of enor-
nous size and giant centipedes have
been picbled in this chloride of sodi-
um, and Te to-day, after the lapse of
centuries, in full size and perfection of
shape. This vast salt bed will be vagu-
able to the reducers Of ores in Califor-
mia, Arizona and New Mexico and can
be supplied in boundless quantities.
