How SpooIs Are Made.

Birch wood is preferred. The wood is
first sawed into sticks four or five feet long
and seven-eighths of al inch to three inches
square, according to the size OF the spool to
be produced. These sticks are thoroughly
seasoned. They are sawed into short blocks
and dried in not air kiln. At the time
they az sawed noies are bored pergendicu-
iarly through each block, which is set on
end under rapidly revolving, long shanked
augur Next, one whirl of each little block
against some little knives that are turning
ct lightning speed, fashions it into spool
according to the pattern desired. anu that,
too, at the rate OF one second for each set
of knives. A row of small boys feed the
spool making machines by simply placing
the blocks in spout, selecting the best
and throwing out the knotty ard defective
stock. The machine is automatic, but there
are some things which it cannot do, hence
the employment OF the small boys above
mentioned. After the spools are turned
they are placed in a large drum and re-
volvsd rapidly until they have taken on
fine polish For some special purposes they
are dyed yellow, black or red, according
to taste. When one sees spool of thread
marked 900" or 800 yards" it does not sig
nifty that the thread has been measured,
but that the spool has been gagged, and IS
supposed TO have that amount Of thread
upon IL, says The Implement Herald.

! Little Girl with Two Faces.

says 4 writer in The Examiner. 1t was of
Il little girl vino had two faces. When she
is dressed upin her best clothes, when some
friends are expected 10 come 20 tea, or
when she is going out with her mother to
call on some ne:ghbors, She looks 50 bright
and sweet and good that yoU would like to
kiss her. With nice white dress on, and
perhaps blue sash and pretty little shoes,
she expects her mothers friends viii say:
What q little darling or Wv hat sweet
face, let me kiss it, And so she always
has nice smile on her face, and when she
IS spoken 70 she says, Yes, ma'am. NO,
ma'am," when she ought, and Thank
you" very sweetly, when anything is
given her.
Bat, do you know, when She is alone
with her mother and no company is eX-
pected, she does not look at al Ike the
same little girl. If she cannot have what
she would like, or do just what she Wishes
she will pout and scream and cry, and no
one would ever think Of kissing her then.
also know little girl who has only one
face, which is always as sweet as peach
and never sweeter than when she is at
home and her mother wants her to be as
useful as she can and help her. I think l
need scarcely ask you which of these little
girls you Ike best, or which CT them you
would most like to resemble.

Direction of Wind in rbunder.torms.

4 correspondent writes 20 Science, from
ticed in connection with thundersturms IN
this vicinity this season that in every in
stance there has been M outflow of air in
every direction from the storm, extending
even beyond the area Of precipitation and
cloudineBS. For example, Ia the case Of a
storm appearing upon the southwestern
horizon and moving due east, and passing
thence three c. four miles south OF this vii
lage, the weather vane pointed directly to-
ward it continuously, veerinG slowly from
southwest to southeast, showing that the
wind came steadily from the storm. The
same thing also occurred in the case o. 4
storm which appeared upon the north
western horizon and moved eastward, pass
ing three or four miles north of the village.
In this case the ysne pointed directly to-
ward the storm throughout, the winds
being quite brisk. In other instances in
which the storms passed directly over the
village the same thing was manifest, the
vane shifting sharply from west TO east as
the storms passed. In previous years !
have noticed the puff of wind in front of
an advancing thunderstorm moving in the
same direction as the storm itself and &C.
curing just before the rain began TO fall
but NY attention has never been called to
such an outflow Of air in every direction as
has been apparent II connection with
thunderstorns recently. Whatever may
be its explanation, it certainly IS entirely
inconsistent with the idea of an indraft
and uprush at the center OF the storms in
which it occurs

THE SICK HEN GAVE FEW FAINT CHIRPs.
and each seemed 10 have something to say.
After about fifteen minutes had been spent
in this manner, healthy young DominicS
hen that was laying eggs every day and
had shown no signs Of desiring 70 set, step
ped ont from among the rest and took her
position by the side of the sick hen.
Upon this the mother hen gave few
faint chrps which ali the chickens answer
ed with chirp. Then the mother looked
toward the Dominick and gave two or
three clucks to which the Dominick re
sponded for the first time with "clUc.l,
cluck" and the chickens answered with
peep. peep" in concert, and all rushed
up to the Dominick The mot her hen gave
two or three farewell chirps, and the new
mother walked OFT with he brood, clUck-
ing and scratching As vigorously for them
IS if she mad herself Matched the brood.
The Dominicb and brood never went near
the mother again. She died the next day,
and the Dominick protected and faithfully
raised the chicks committed to her care.
This seemed TO those who witnessed it AS
genuine case OF giving away children be-
fore death as we witness among human
kind. These creatures must have com
municnted with each other about the mat
ter. Judging from their actious. and the old
saying that Actions speak louder than
words' was true in this case.

Aa Auecdote About the Conduct of Two

\ gentlemen had among his Spanish hens
a mother with nine chickens, This hen at
length sickened with comb disease Her
chicks were only about four weeks old and
could scratch but little 10Y themselves. The
weak mother would &c around with them,
putting down her bill 10 show where they
were to scratch. She soon became 700 weak
for this, and the gentleman says: Soon
after we noticed all Of her chicks standing
around her il q sort of half circle with their
eyes looking piteously toward her peeping

At this all the other fowls came around ter
