Inssresting Facts About tho Genesis u
epools and Shoe Pegs.
Oxford county, Me-, turns out near
" 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 tho million in Oxford county.
There arc 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 2 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 ilgen-
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 spcols, 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.
''In 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
Der annually.
"shoe peg factories are also an i'm
portant branch Of business once pecul-
lar to Maine, although it has Of late
been followed to some extent in other
eastern states and is spreading to the
hard wood forests Of northern Pennsyl-
vania. Maple is used largely in the
manufacture Of shoe pegs, although
white birch is used at some factories.
Shoe pegs are sold by the bushel and
are worth all the way from IS cents to
81 a bushel, according to quality. More
than $3.50, 900 was received by Maine
shoe peg factories last year for goods
"a curious and profitable business
has grown up in the Maine woods near
the sawmills in the utilizing Of the i'm
mense quantities Of sawdust by compress
sion. Thousands Of tons Of this waste
material are bought for mere nothing
and are pressed into compact blocks and
bales, and in this form is finding a
ready market for kindling and fuel in
eastern cities. "-Washington Star.

FRANCE HAS a SEC. q.

Consul Tourses Makes what Might Have
Been an Interesting Report.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-Albion w.
Tourgee, United States consul at Dor.
deaux, has made areport to the state
department. upon section 20 Of the tariff
act which would be-a most valuable
contribution to the literature on the
subject had the decision of the attorney
general not been rendered. He shows
conclusively that the French govern
ment has for years practiced, without
protest from foreign nations, system
OF discrimination in the levying of inn
port taxes that corresponds very closely
with the means supposed to have been
embodied Ill section 20.

A TRIFLE TOO MUCH.

How an Old Darky's Sympathy Was Un-
feelingly Imposed Upon.
General Nichols Of Louisiana COM
manded brigade Of infantry during
the valley campaign in Virginia which
80 immortalized the name Of Stonewall
jackson. In one Of the three famous
victories over Banks, Milroy and Shields,
says the Nashville American, the Louisi-
ana brigade bore conspicuous part,
and it's 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 a 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 op-
posite. The pluck which enabled lin
to Withstand these terrible wounds, and
to which he is indebted for his life,
perhaps, more 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
manservant, who knew nothing Of the
generals misfortune, to see that he was
comfortably put to bed. The darby felt
proud Of the honor of serving 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 the Gen
erals arm off and laid it on the table,
he commenced to express great SYM
pathy, saying:
eft sho' is bad for man to lose he
arm dat erway! 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 businesslike
way, though he was almost ready to
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 of on one side an arm
off on t'other. Dat is too bad. to cut
man up in dat sort o. way
The general saw the opportunity for
q little fun had come, so, leaning his
body forward, said:
"Come, now, take my head off. -
But the negro was gone.

A rather unusual drawing Of the lire
was that Of Mr.. Scott of Mississippi,
who refuses sure election to the
United States Senate because he does
MT believe in free silver but who never
theless, supported Bryan enthusiastic
cally. He excuses his November per-
Torrance by saying that Bryan was
the Democratic candidate and repre-
septed other things than free silver.
Rht Mr.. Scott could be a Democratic
senator representing other things than
free silver and his vote for the latter
would have no more weight than the
vote If the free silver man who will be
chosen. in his stead. OF course the
situation would be an embarrassing
one to Mr.. Scott and so we should
think must have been his enthusiastic
support Of the Popocratic candidate for
the preside1fy. Perhaps Mr. Scott would
see it that way should Mr.. Bryan try
1t again.

phenomenally satisfactory reign of
Queen Victoria ought not to leave her
in old age in the condition described
by that reputable correspondent, Har-
old Frederic, who says:
"She is not insane at all. but has
drifted into a state of such chronic
irrascibility that she is practically I'M
approachable. Her guests say only a
few commonplace words to heran are
led away, and her household would be
glad to be excused from the necessity
of saying even those few words"

The remnants of the shattered steel
pool are said to be combining again in
order to save themselves from the eff
fects of the alliance of Carnegie and
Rockefeller The combination would
not be lacking in money and power and
Carnegie and Rockefeller are not to be
easily crushed. hence the conflict, if
conflict there is to be. would seem to
promise great opportunity for those
who wish to buy steel rails at rock
bottom prices. The large number OF
captains and capitalists in this indus
try ought to render it impossible to
form one successful monopoly.
