Only a SnOOl of Thread.

"To make spool of thread" says
a manufacturer, ''is complicated
process. Only the very best Sea
Island cotton can be used for this
purpose. The cotton is taken in a
raw state, and torn all to pieces by a
machine called breaker
ut then goes through several other
machines, by which it is carefully
combed and freed from impurities.
A machine called a 'slubber' then
takes it up and twists it out into soft
white yarn.
"This is carefully combed again,
and it is then taken into another de-
partment, where several small strands
OF this yarn are twisted together:
and you then have siX-cord thread
which, after it is bleached, is ready
for the market
Another interesting thing is the
numbering of the thread. Every
lady knows the size Of the thread that
she requires for doing a certain piece
OF work, but very few Of them know
how it came to be so numbered.
"You see, when cotton thread was
first made $40 yards of it weighed
just one pound. This was called No.
i; and if pound contained just
twice this number of yards it was
called No. 2, and SO on"

MASSACHUSETTS Is working early
and earnestly in the movement to Sc
cure good roads. 1t has created a
State Highway Commission, which
has submitted report to the Legis-
lature recommending the appoint
ment of permanent State Commits
sion for the care Of the highways.
The report estimates the economic
losses from present generally bad con-
ditions at five to ten million dollars
per year, this not including indirect
loss by damage to animals, vehicles,
and harness. 1t discusses methods of
road construction, and states that
more than 600 miles of road have
been photographed under the over
sight of the commission. Twenty
three per cent. of the towns in the
State spend less than $1,000 per year
each on their roads, and so per cent.
less than $4,000 each. The seventy
five towns which expend less than
81, 900 each average S15 per mile per
annum of expenditure. The ninety
three towns which spend from 81, 900
to 50, 900 average $26.70 per mile, and
tifty-seven spend from $4,000 to
SO, averaging $3.50 per mile.
In all these towns the best that can
be done is to struggle against further
depreciation of the highways. There
are 257 towns, covering 82.5 per cent
of the town area of the State, which
are financially unable to keep their
roads in good condition. There are
twenty-five towns which spend each
from 81, 900 to s., 900 per year, aver
aging 1914. 80 per mile, and in these
alone is it possible to secure reason
able improvement of the public
highways. Four-flfths, and perhaps
as much as 90 per cent, of the bad
roads are directly connected with the
manufacturing places.

Miss Penny Needs Help.

More than generation ago Virgin
ia Penny, dark-eyed, comedy young
woman of education and social stand
ing, published the first book ever de-
signed to help workingwomen. AT
her own expense she Travelled through
the most thickly settled portions of
the Union, gathering facts and fig
ures about the work of women out
side the three occupations then open
to the sex OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, sew
ing and teaching. The information
was written in admirable literary
style, and published in book form.
First it was named "Employments
for Women. then it was issued under
the title, give Hundred Occupations
for Women" and again it was called
"How Women Can Make Money. 4"
But it never proflted the author f1nan-
cially, though thousands of volumes
were sold. Miss Penny is now SIS
years old and destitute, and an ap-
peal in her behalf is made especially
to that class which has proflted so
much by her labors.

AN article in the Iron Age of ADril

AN article in the Iron Age of April
% last, by w. r. Hinsdale, is reprint
ed in pamphlet form for circulation
among railroad men. 1t calls atten.
tion to the recent increase in the
number Of casualties arising from
broken rails and the necessity for
more efficient inspection of rails be.
fore they are laid in the track. The
matter is one of great Importance to
the public, all the more so as if de.
fective material be used the recent
increase in size of rails is no ade-
Quate compensation for the heavier
locomotives and cars and longer
trains, which are the rule as COM
pared with few years ago. The
point is made that steel rails are now
manufactured very rapidly and cheap
ly. The wOrkmen are paid by the
piece, and while generally making
good wages they must produce a
larger tonnage to realize them.
Hence, no matter how DESTROYS the
management may be to produce only
good work it is necessary that safe.
guards be provided. The tendency
would seem not to be in that direc-
ton, Judging from the fact that the
remark, "They are getting as good as
they pay for" has been heard more
than once from the lips of a manu-.
facturer, while admitting that he
could make better rails than were
turned out of his establishment. And
it is added that the new rapid proc
ess of rolling and finishing direct
without relocating the blooms is quite
likely to increase the existing evils,
on account of the lower and uneven
temperature at which the blooms will
reach the finishing rolls.

The Minnesota legislator who in
PRODUCED bill making the wearing
of hoops crime may have meant
well, but he must be unfamiliar with
the feminine mind. A woman would
delight to array herself in forbidden
togs and walk all over the fragments
of any such statute. 1t will be a
grief to the gentler sex to know that
the bill cannot pass, and that if it
could there would be holes in it's con-
stitutionality through which she
could sweep in expansive crinoline
and never disturb the ruffle on the
most distant outpost of her skirt.

SENATOR PRoCTOR thinks that the
age Of 30 years is the highest at which
an army recruit should be enlisted in
time of peace, and that soldiers of
that age can do any amount of fight
ing. Experience has, however, proved
that veteran soldiers are the most
reliable, and that it does not do to
assume that the young man can do
harder or more continuous work than
his time-tried senior.

The Horrors OF War.

Camille Flammarion, the French
author, has passion for big figures.
General statistics, he says, prove
that since the Trojan war, 5000 years
ago, not single year has elapsed in
which some war has not killed it's
proportionate number, says the New
York Journal. During the thirty
centuries which have elapsed since
the beginning of Asiatic and Euro
pean history, loss of 4O,OO0,00O a
century makes the total number de-
stroyed by war to be l 200, 600, 900, a
number very nearly representing the
total population of the globe at the
present day.
The sword is ceaselessly drawing
blood from human veins. Eighteen
million cubic meters have been shed.
In summer at Paris the Seine de-
livers to the two parts Of the bridge
Pont-Neuf about one hundred cubic
meters Of water every second,
moving with a force of $500 horse
power. Every hour 800, 600 cubic
meters of waters pass under the
arches Of the bridge, or 8,64O, 900
cuDlc meters III day.
Imagine the river to be human
blood instead of water, for if all the
blood shed in all the wars was put
into a basin between the Quays it
would form such a river, and we
would have to remain standing on
the parapet fifty hours to see it flow
away
If the 1900, 100000 skeletons
should rise and climb one upon the
other the ladder thus formed would
reach the moon, coil about that body
and, continuing onward, would mount
into infinite space four times as far
again, that is, 500,70 leagues in
height. The corpses if thrown into
the channel at Calais would form a
bridge between France and England
and separate the ocean from the
North sea by weir. If only the
heads of the men slaughtered in war
were taken and placed side by side
band would be formed reaching six
times around the world.
A great deal of money is necessary
in order to kill in proper manner,
for each man slain costs about s., 900.
The increasing and multiplying taxes
of all nations are never sufficient to
pay for the butchery of human troops
Every year Europe spends more than
81, 200, 900, 900 in shedding her Chi
dren's blood and France spends $780,
900 every day.
From the Crimean war down to
that of 1901, the civilized ma
tions of Europe and America spent
in destroying one another S10,000,-
0OO,O of the ordinary budget and
more than 81, 900, 100000 raised ex-
pressly for the purpose, making to-
tai of s21, 900, 00O,0oO The wars of
the last hundred years have cost
$40, 900, 900, 900, without counting
the sorrow, the loss of men and other
results.
