Just q Spool of Thread.

The making Of a spool of thread is a
complicated process. Only the very
best Sea island1cotton can be used The
cotton is taken in the raw state and
torn all to PIECES by machine called a
breaker. 1t then goes through several
other machines, by which it is carefully
combed and freed from impurities. A
machine called slipper takes it up and
twists it out into soft white yarn. This
is carefully combed again and is taken
into another department, where several
small strands of this yarn are twisted
INTO one fine one. Three of these are
twisted together and you then have six
cora thread, which, after it is bleached
is ready for the market Another in
terestlng thing is the numbering of

OF thread that she requires for doing a.
certain piece of work, but very few Of
them know how it came to be so num-

contained just twice this number of

NIAGARA FALLS, Jan. 25.-Niagara
has donred her winter dress and is now
radiantly beautiful in winters grasp.
An ice bridge of apparently great
strength has formed in the gorge i'm
mediately below the falls. 1t extends
from point in front of the American
fall quite a distance down the river in
front of the canal milling district, and
is thus much larger than usual
1t also extends beyond the portal of
the Niagara Falls Power company's
tunnel, the stream from which it was
feared might eat away the foundations
of an ice bridge and thus prevent it's
formation. But this has been proven
fallacy.
AS yet the ice mountain has not at
tanned the mammoth proportions of the
bridges of former years, but it is still
early, and there is prospect of the usual
magnificent growth, for each cold day
adds to the mighty mound In the
part and on the islands ma ture has ar

The appearance is as though each

side. Admiring humanity is constant
ly passing from point to point. hardly
knowing which view to applaud most.

To make timbales from any kind of

two tablespoonfuls of melted butter
Moisten this with one cup of hot stock
Beat light one large or two small eggs

Butter a bowl or earthen mould and fill
with the prepared meat, and cover with
buttered paper. Place the dish in a

bake in a moderate oven one hour.

with a brown sauce poured around it.

METROPOLIS OF THE BUFFALOEs

Where Thousand of the Animals
Were Driven Over the Precipice.
Denver Field and Farm.
Near Cheyenne Wells is long
stretch of level prairie, which sudden
ly terminates in .precipice, making a
perpendicular descent of perhaps fifty
feet to another plain below In the
winter Of 1858 a great blizzard ragged
for several days. The snow was driv-
en- at terrific rate before a hurricane
of wind, and the buffalo were obliged
in representation, to turn their backs
and run with the wind. The result
was that the vast numbers Of the buff
falo were carried over the precipice
and their dead bodies were covered
with twenty or thirty feet of snow
For many years people visited the spot
to look at the bones, which lay in piles
ten and fifteen feet high as far as the
eye could reach along the precipice
and it was commonly estimated that
100000 buffaloes found a grave on that
fatal spot.

the plains was the immense excavat-

There were areas of three or four
acres where the wind scooped out the
sand forty or fifty feet deep and
whirled it away in the air 1t seemed

CONFESSION OF FAITH.

Creeds and confessions? High Church or the
Low?
1 cannot say; but you would vastly please
If with some pointed Scripture you could
show
To which of these belonged the Savior,
Jesus.
l think to all none Not curious creeds
Or ordered forms of churchly rules He
taught,
But soul of love that blossomed into deeds,
With human good and human blessing
fraught.
On me nor priest nor presbyter nor pope,
Bishop nor dean, may stamp a party name;
But Jesus with His largely human scope
The service of my human life may claim.
Let prideful priests do battle about creeds,
The church is mine that does most Christ
like deeds. j. s. Blackie.

THE JOYS OF WINTER.

Hurrah for the joys of winter.
For the jolly sparkling weather,
For the lake like glass where the skaters
pass,
For the flying fake and feather!
Hurrah for the fun of rushing
Down the long toboggan slide,
For the dash ahead Of the winning sled
Round the curve of the steep hillside!
Hurrah for the joys of winter!
Jack Frost and the boys are friends;
To the girls bright face with a witching
grace
The touch of his pencil lends!
Hurrah for the wild Northwestern.
And the crisp cold %intry night
When the rough wind blows and we toast
our toes
In the glow of the hearth-hre's light!

A MAGNIFICENT DISPLAY.

The Niagara ice bridge is a magnifi-
cent display of the power of small
things when unified. Many who visit
these wonderful formations expect to
find them composed of massive cakes
Of ice, but on the contrary, discover
that there are few pieces larger than
a peck measure. This fact increases
the marvel of the bridge.
The different manner in which visit
ors are impressed by Niagara's winter
beauty is best illustrated by an Incl
dent that happened some years ago
when the park was private property
and Hans Nelson was president of the
company in possession. While Mr.. Mel
son was in his office two we'll dressed
ladies entered, and, addressing him, in
quired where the ice bridge was, and
informed him that they had come a
long distance to see it. They had
they said looked along from the Whirl-
pool rapids to the falls, but could not
find it.
out to the river bank and look down
below them in the gorge the much
sought object would be seen, they eX-
pressed no little surprise and said they
had supposed the falling spray from
the falls kept freezing and made
bridge so that people could cross from
cliff to cliff The absurdity of this
idea is apparent to all who have visit
ed Niagara and know that the tops of
the cliffs are 200 feet above the water
in the lower river. Certainly a bridge
formed as these ladies had pictured it
would command rare attention.
On no river in the world is a jam
of ice so regularly welcomed as it is
at Niagara. When winter falls, the
dread of an ice gorge does not take
possession of the people as it does in
some localities, for the ice gorge does
not bring an overflow of the streams
to carry desolation and death. It comes
not as a destroyer, but as a beautiful
wonder.
With the advent of winter an ice
bridge is watched for, and when at
last the rivers surface is crowded with
the icy cakes and a bridge is formed
it is hoped by all that it will remain
with the season, for the bridge, with
it's mountains, it's valleys and imagi-
nary human formations, completes a
beautiful picture, the other objects in
which are the great cataract itself
falling behind the thick, icy wall that
in severe cold weather forms in front
Of it, the grand ice mountain, the trees
and everything ABOUT loaded down with
the icy covering and pendants.

The "Broken Plate Club
London Telegraph.

LONDON Telegraph.
In little village in the department
of Nord there exists a curious brother
hood. 1t is called the Broken Plate
club. This is its history: A few years
ago some merchants and manufacture
ers were dining together when a plate
relied from the table and, falling into
the fireplace, broke. AS it happened,
the number of the fragments exactly
correspondent with that of the guests.
The coincidence was regarded as a
good augury, and then and there a So
ciety was formed which imposed upon
it's members the bonds of brotherhood.
Each man as he left carried away with
him his fragment of the plate Accord
ing to the rules no new member was
to be introduced, and at each death
the bit of porcelain which was in the
possession of the deceased is restored
to the president, who CLUES the frag-
ments together The last surviving
member of the club is charged with the
duty of cementing his piece to the rest.
and when the plate has thus been re-
formed it is to be buried

THE FIRST TO CROSS.

The. first to cross the bridge of 1896
We're two young men named Rickert
and a man named Franklin. 1t was
Wednesday afternoon when they made
the trip, and they reported the bridge
very rough. Day by day will add to the
crowd, and soon we shall see the rough
wooden structures spring up on the
bridge at mid stream, where the own
ers will defy the laws of two countries

The present bridge formed about one

structures Of it's kind In 1898 this
record was beaten by four days. the
ice bridge of that year having formed
on Jan. 8. Jack" Mccoy was the
first to cross 1t, but he returned to the
American side by way of the Suspen-
sion bridge. In 1883 the first bridge
formed on Jan. is, and the second on
Jan. %.
The second formation lasted thirteen
weeks, and when it came it carried
away over one hundred feet of the in
clined railway building. The park COM
pany which was then in possession,
cleared away the debris and cut tun-
mel by 10 feet and about 25 feet long
so as to reach the bridge proper When
