NEW ENTERPRISES,

The Vermont Spool aud Bobbin Conn
pany to Manufacture spool' at Essex
Junction.
A new concern to be known as ''The Yer
mont Spool and Bobbin company" has
sprung into existence and several curling
ton men are stock holders.
Mr. j. d. Kingsland OF this city, who
has had large experience which has en-.
abled him to acquire a practical knowledge
OF the business, will bs the manager.
Mr.. Kingsland for many years
connected with the Green q Wood Manu-
featuring company, and later with the
American Spool, Bobbn and shuttle COM
pany. After the latter company, which
had bought up nearly all the spool and
bobbn factories in the county, thereby con-
trolling the production went into voluntary
liquidation last spring, Mr.. kingsland,
having an ingenious turn Of mind
set about to improve the ma,
chinery by which spools were made.
He worked diligently in experimenting IN
til be succeeded in designing an automatic
lathe which will do the work of any other
three lathes now used. He had one made
and on trial and it showed very plainly it:
marked superiority to all ether inventions
of this character and patents were at once
applied for.
The above company was soon atterward
quietly formed
The lathe takes q piece OF wood and turn:
out perfect and complete spool, such a,
has only been produced heretofore after
passing through three lathes operated by a,
many mon. a man or boy can run it.
Some II or more kinds of spools will ot
made. of which several styles will be pro
tected by patents. The company
has leased 4 portion Of Rrowuel
x Co.'S large mill at Essex Junction
The machinery is now being made, and it II
expected will BE- ready SO that the factory
can he started up next month. Tue mil
will have daily output OF between 2O0(
and 5000 spools. Mr. Kipgsland said th'
company located at Essex Junction lecsus
of the water power obtainabie there. Th
new invention will be a great saving OF la
bor and less capital will be required to con
duct q successful business.

How an Engagement is Announced.

The engagement, with US. is a much
less formidable affair than in European
countries. though the obligation is no
less sacred. True to our ideas of lib
erty, the two most deeply interested are
generally permitted 10 choose for them
selves; aud, as consequence, mar
rlages here are more often the csult Of
mutual affection than in countries where
the heads Of families have the sole right
to give their children in marriages
which are arranged for social and finan.
cial reasons. 1t is not the correct thing,
however, for young people to enter into
an engagement without the consent of
the parents, and when a man has made
up his mind that he wants to marry &
woman, and has reasonable hone that
she is not unwilling, he should ask per-
mission Of her father, her mother. or
whoever holds the relation of guardian
to her, before he finally makes an alb
solute proposal to the young woman
herself.
After an engagement has been en-
tered upon, it should be announced as
soou as convenient. This is much bet
ter for all concerned. as il is frank
ackno wledgment of situation which
might sometimes be embarrassing, or
at least annoying, fit were not known.
The announcement is made usually at
dinner given by the parents of the fancee.
to which near relatives of both families
and intimate friends are invited, aud
the new relationship is announced by
the father or nearest relative, toward
the close of the meal. If practicable,
very soon after this formal announce
ment the mother Of the groom invites
his fancee and her immediate family to
a dinner. Sometimes the entertainment
takes the form of a small reception at
the home of the young lady's parents.
and the announcement is made by say
ing in the invitation that it is to cele-
brate the daughters betrothal. Dem
