An automatic winder Of cotton thread
has been contrived. a mechanism which
takes thread from eight large spools loose
ly wound and transfers II 20 eight small
spools containing 200 yards. These small
spools, having received 200 yards exactly,
stop revolving, a knife cuts slot in the
spool, tho end of the thread is fastened in
this. The machine then cuts the thread
of, drops the spool into trap, takes
eight empty spools from as many boppers,
places them on the spindles and fills these
as IL did the previous set. The machine
goes through the entire process in just 45
seconds, making all changes automatioal-
ly and with the greatest precision. Fur
ther, in another machine the small spools
are placed on an inclined track, and in
rolling through the machine receive on
each end a ticket cut from long strip OF
roll of previously printed tickets placed ON
a stand above the machine. After the
ticket is cut paste is applied to the back,
and IL is then pressed upon the spool,
which has rolled into proper position TO
receive IL, this at the rate of 90 spools per
minute.--New York Sun.

About the beginning Of the eighteenth
century ladies wrote large, round, open
hand, not much unlike the Italian. As
the century grew older the light, angular
style of our grandmothers aud great
grandmothers came into vogue. Feminine
handwriting was then painfully uniform
individuality was almost unknown.
Latterly, however, our girls have asserted
their independence in this direction as in
SO many others, and the civil service style
Is now much affected.
Among ladies distinguished for the
beauty OF their penmanship-or penwom-
anship-was Charlotte Bronte, who wrote
very small, very delicate and carefully
finished hand. Mrs. Hemans wrote in a
free, flowing style. Elizabeth Barrett
