Interesting Facts About tho Genesis d
Spools and Shoe Pegs.
"OxfOrd county, Me-, turns out near
y all the spools ON which the sewing
thread Of this country is wound, +" said
. wholesale dealer in such articles to
the writer. ''The spools are made from
white birch timber, and they are pro-
duced by the million in Oxford county.
There are many other parts Of western
Maine, also, where the industry is i'm
portant. There are numerous sawmills
in that part Of the state which are kept
busy all the year round saving white
birch logs into strips 4 feet long and
from to Q inches wide and of the same
thickness These strips are sent to the
spool factories, where they are quickly
worked into spools by the most ingen-
ious labor saving machinery.
"The strips of white birch are fed in
to one machine, and they are not touch
ed, in fact, are hardly seen again, until
the spools, all finished for market ex-
cept polishing, drop out by the bushel
from another machine several rods away
from where the strips started in. The
spools get their gloss by being rapidly
revolved in barrels turned by machin-
cry, the polish resulting from the con.
tact of the spools in the barrel
I'm the backwoods villages Of Ok
ford county one sees scarcely any other
industry but spoolmaking, and every
person IN the neighborhood is in some
way interested in the business The fac
tories have been eating into the Maine
birch forests for years, but there still
seems to be enough of the timber left to
feed the machinery for many years to
come. Hundreds of thousands Of feet Of
logs are cut and sawed into spool tim

How m Old Darky's Sympathy was Un-
feclingly Imposed Upon.
General Nichols Of Louisiana COM
manded brigade Of infantry during
the valley campaign in Virginia which
so immortalized the name of Stonewall
jackson. In one Of the three famous
victoriesOver Banks, Milroy and Shields,
says the Nashville American, tho Louisi-
ana brigade bore q conspicuous part,
and its gallant commander was carried
from the field mortally wounded, as
every one supposed, but good nursing
and skillful surgery saved the life of
the general. He left leg and an arm
on the battlefield and lost one Of his
eyes. He wears an artificial leg on one
side Of his body and an arm on the OPP
posite- The pluck which enabled him
to Withstand these terrible wounds, and
to which he is indebted for his life,
perhaps, moro than to any other cause,
sticks to him yet, and he is one of the
most jovial of men, enjoying a good
joke as much as anybody. He tells this
ON himself:
When canvassing for governor, he
was invited by lady who knew Of his
loss Of limbs to make her house his
home, and he accepted She ordered her
manseryant, who knew nothing of the
generals misfortune, to.see that he was
comfortably put to bed Tho darby felt
proud Of the honor of serving a distin-
guished general and the next governor,
and the general was inclined to be COM
municative, which delighted the negro
very much and made him feel at home
with his guest When he took tho gen.
erals arm off and laid it on,the table,
he commenced to express gnsat SYM
pathy, saying:
1T sho' is bad for q man to lose he
arm dat erwayi An de Yankees done
dis did dey?''
When the general told him to take
his leg off, the negro thought he'was
joking, but went at it in O businesaike
way, though he was almost ready 10
shed tears Of sympathy this time. Plac-
ing the leg on the table by the side of
the arm and looking at the.general, he
said:
"Umphi Leg off.on one side an arm
OFF on t'other. Dat is too bad, to cut q
man up in dat sort o. way"
The general saw tho opportunity for
little fun had come, so, leaning, his
body forward. said:
"Oome. now. take my head off,"

Boxing, though better appreciated
now, was not 80 popular in the north
of England and Scotland as in the
south, not assuredly because the people
are either better hammered or less aG-
gressive, but probably because the sci
ence was less understood. Sir Walter
Scott's touching tale of the 1.-TWO Drov-
ers'' is o good illustration of this diff
ference of feeling on the subject, and rs
long ago as 1890 book was written by
o highland officer with the following
curious title: "Antipugilisn, OF the
science of defense exemplified in short
and easy lessons, for the practice of the
broadsword and single stick, whereby
gentlemen may become proficient in the
use Of the weapons, without the help of
master, and be enabled to chastise
the insolence and temerity so frequently
met with from those fashionable gentle
men, the Johnsonians, Big Bennians and
Mendozians of the present day, a work
perhaps better calculated to extirpate
this reigning and brutal folly than q
whole volume of sermons"
It was precisely this feeling which
poor Robin dig, Sir Walters hero, ex-
pressed when his friend Harry Wake
