ABOUT THREAD MAKING.
Did Y u Ever wonder How the Different
Sizes Were Numbered.

Among those who registered re-
Gently at the Hotel Normandie was Il
Gammell representing tie Kerr Thread
Company. OF Fall River. Mass, says
She Detroit Tribune. In conversation
with a reporter Mr.. Gammell said:
Oar house was originally a Scotch
Que, and eyen now has factories in
Scotland and in Toronto. A branch
was established in Newark, n. j.,
about thirteen years ago, but the busi-
ness was by nc NEAR so extensive rs
it is now until January, when a large
mill aud an entirely new plant was put
in. The direct reason for this move was
the passing of the Mckinley bill. which
made it almost impossible for foreign
makers to do business in this country.
by the way, did you ever examine
into the process of manufacturing a
spool of thread? 1t looks simple, but
IN reality it is a very complicated
process. Only the very best Sea
Island cotton can be used for this pur-
pose. The Gotten is taken in the raw
state aud torn all TO pieces by a

chimes, by which it is carefully combed
and freed from impurities. A machine
called a slipper then takes it up aud
twists it out into soft white yarn. This
is carefully combed again. and it is
then taken into another department,
where several small strands OF this yarn
are twisted into one iine one. Three
Of these are twisted together. and you
then have six-cord thread. which after
it is bleachcd, is ready for the market.
Another interesting thing is the
numbering of the thread. Every lady
knows the size of thread that she re-
quires for doing a certain piece of
work. but very few of them know how
il came TO be so numbered. You see,
when cotton thread was first made $40
yards of it weighed one pound. This
was called No. /. and if Il pound con-
tanned just twice this number Of yards
it was called No. 2. and so on. Until
sewing machines were introduced only
three-cord thread was made, but their
introduction demanded a smoother
and finer article. The numbers were
left the same. but the six-cord thread
had to be made of strands just twice as
fine as those of the old article"

into the technical or handicraft school
maintained by the Jewish community
Of Moscow. Most of t en-, however,
studied their primers aud elementary
books at home.
OF n sudden, without warning, on
an inclement winlry night, a troop OF
police and Cossacks surrounded this
out-of-the-way country suburb. and.
forming an engirding Gordon, proceed
ed TO carry out Prince Golilzyn's writ
ten order to expel the entire commune
". This order was executed with
what even Russians regarded rs in-
credible brutality. The lights had been
extinguished ia almost every house, aud
the unsuspecling people were asleep.
They were awakened by tho crash of
their doors being broken open, and the
boisterous entrance Of Cossacks with
torches and drawn swords. The terri
fed inmates were routed out, and
driven with blows and curses into the
night, without being given time even
TO dress. They snatched such garments
as they could and ran.
Tie tales that are told are too har-
rowing TO dwell upon. At least 800
families were thus dragged from their
beds aud chased out into the wintry
darkness on this first nights raid.
Bare-footed. half = naked. frightened
out Of their senses. these outcasts
wandered helplessly through the black
woods, moaning IN their misery or
raising shouts in the effort to keep to-
gether. Some of them, mt least, were
able to build fires in the forest, aud
gather around these the old and the in
firm. and the women with nursing
babies at their breasts, or little chill
dren. who bad made their way thus
far with bare feet over the snow aud
frozen ground. The soldiers pursued
them hither and stamped out these
fires. Others did not stop in their light
until they reached the cemeteries,
lying Just outside the town. Here
they found refuge. and. crouching for
shelter among the tombstones, waited
for morning.
No allusion TO this amazing event
has ever appeared in any Russian
paper. There was no editor who dared
so much as 10 mention it. Although
many deaths resulted, directly and in
directly, from the terrible shock and
exposure of that night, there was no
inquests, no Investigations, nc official
rpnOris.
