Ex-senator Bruce OF Mississippi has been
talking about the movement to exclude the
colored people from office He says it is
worse than nonsense; that there is no
danger Of the administration drawing the
color line, and that it is exclusively dem
ocratic doctrine that man must be judged
by the color Of his skin. And yet this
colored ex-senator has no doubt noticed
that colored people are getting precious few
appointments under President Harrison
The fact may not trouble him very much,

Thread spooIs.

Among the peculiar industries which
flourish III western Maine is the maxine
OF thread spools. They are cut from
smooth, white birch timber-a wood
which works easily-by various kinds
OF improved machines. There are nu-
merOus mills throughout the NUMBERING
region, where the birch is sawed into
strips about four feet long and from one
to two inches i'll width and thickness
These strips then go to the spool facto-
ries, to be converted into spools. The
processes they are put through are nu-
merOus, and one of them, the method of
polishing them, is quite interesting. A
barrel is filled nearly full Of them and
then revOlved by means of machinery
and betting until the spools are worn
smooth by rubbing one against another.
Spool manufacturing is the most i'm
portant industry in several of the vii
lages OF Oxford county, and will doubt
less continue so until the supply of
white birch timber is exhausted. The
manufacture of shoe pegs is another
peculiar Maine industry, though shared
in to some extent by other New EnclanG
states. These are cut from maple and
white birch by machinery, and are worth
at the factory from thirty-fve to ninety
five cents bushel. The COMPRISING Of
sawdust is also flourishing business in
