    The Manufacture of Spools.
It iiiriy hme ofcured to ?om? (l tu
-,t,ly ;'i:eni whi'.e UMiijj the common
roving thread, that a vast nunikr of
fpoolHi aro r:U!ml tiuanudiy by the
znanufacttulrs of tl:iit article, buiitmay .'
not be generally known that tte prov
ince of Quebec furnishes its quota of
spools to the Knglish anil Scotch thread i
manufacturer. Such, however, is the j
case, and while on a flying visit to the !
romantic village of Prumniondvllle re- I
fftitly, we had the pleasure of visiting
the spool factories there in oeration.
Druinmondville is situated on the t. j
Francis river, and the northern division '
of the Southeastern railway passes thro'
it Several years aero the prevailing '
which grew in the vicinity was i
white birch, which we lielieve does not
make tirst-class tire wood, but which ai- i
pears to be the best for the manufacture j
of spools. This probably was the reason
w hy Irutnniondville was selected as the
place in which to locate these factories,
and the farmeis in the vicinity can al- t
ways lind a ready market for this kind '
of wood at about .2.50 to $:i per cord. ,
The wood, after being delivered at the
factories, is first sawed into pieces about t
four feet long and from an inch to an t
inch and a half square, according to the ;
size of the siiool it is destined to make. ;
These pieces are put into a dry-house j
and thoroughly dried ; from thence they j
are taken to the factory and given to the
"rougher," who in an incredibly short '
pa-e of time lxire a hole in the center
about two inches deep, turn about ihe ,
.same space round, and then cut olT the !
lencth required for a spool. The ma- ;
chines used for this puriHise are revol- '.
ving plainers, in the center of which is a !
revolving gimlet or bit, and immediate- ;
ly to the right a small circular saw with ,
a guage set the propersize for the spools. 1
The 'Toughers" receive a ceut and a :
half per gros for their work, and an ex- '
IHTieuced man can turn out from 1(H) to
i ."50 gross it day. The round blocks I
pass from them to the "iinishers," who '.
JrWtce then: in machines which give ;
them the fhaie of spools and make j
them quite smooth. It is interesting ,
here to notice the men at work. A man
stands with his left hand m a small t
lever and with t lie right he places the I
blocks, one at a time, in the lathe, then j
draws the lever toward him for an in- i
Htant. and the work is done ; the lever !
is pushed back and the sjhioI drops down ,
into a box lx low. while the right hand i
is ready with another block. These
blocks are handled at the late of twenty- !
live to thirty ier minute. The "linish- ;
crs" also receive one cent and a half
per r,rnss, and they can each turn from .
Un to l:ti gross per day. The siools are .
then thrown loosely into a large cylin- I
der, which revolves slowly so that the
spools are polished by the constant nilr
bing upon each other for some time.
On being taken out of the cylinder they
are placed in a large hopper with an
opening at the bottom, through which
they pass down a slide for inspection.
Here the inspector sits and watches
closely to see that no imperfect spools
:ire allowed to pass, and a very small
knot or scratch is sufficient to condemn
them. The spools then pass into the
hands of packers, who handle them
vety lively. They are packed in large
loxes made the proper size, so that the
layers of pjkioIs exactly Jill the box and
no additional packing is needed. These
liys receive a quarter of a cent a gross
for packing, and a smart Imv who is ac
rustowed to the work can pack about
1.1KI gross per day. I ne proprietor ships
from 1J.ok to lo.ic.Mt gross (or over two
million spools) per month to Kngland,
and another linn ships from .(.) to S,
IW gross (or over one million spools! to
tik'sgow, Scotland.

HOW A vfl'liDKP. WAS PIsCOV Kit H BY
A STRANGE VlSfOV.

iKild, aiattcr-of-fiirt cliaracttr in every
detail which quite sets it apart from

authenticated mystery in :uy knowledge.
Here it is in brief
Among the Scotch-Irish settlers in Wash
ington county inl12 was a family named
Plyinire, who occupied a comfortable farm
and house. Rachel, the daughter, was en
paged to a young farmer of the neighbor
hood. On a Saturday evening in Julv, hav
ing finished her week's work, she dressed
herself tidily and started to visit her married
sister, who lived on a farm about five miles
distant, intending to return on Monday
morning. She tied up her Sunday gown and
hat in a checkered handkerchief, and carried
her shoes and stockings iu the other hand,
meaning to walk in her bare feet and nut
them on when she came in sight of her des
tination after the cannv Scotch fashion. She
left home about 7 o'clock in order to have i
the cool evening for hr walk; the road to ,
the farm was lonelvand unfrequented. The :
girl did not return'honie on Monday, but no
alarm was felt, as the family thought her
sister would probably detain her for a few
days : and it was not until the latter part of ,
the week that it was found she had never ,
been at her sister's. The country was scour
ed, but in vain. The alarm spread and ex- ,
cited a degree of terror in the peaceable, do (
inestie community, which would seem inex- ,
plicable to citv people, to whom the ne wspa- ,
pers have brought a budget of crime every i
morning since their childhood. To children !
raised in those lonely hatniets the hiil-farins
murder was a far-off, 'unreal horror ; usually
all thev knew of it was from the doing of ,
Cain and Jael, svt off with hideous wood cuts
in the family IJible. !
The girl had left home on Saturday at 7 j
o'clock. That night, long before 10 o'clock '
( runners go to bed with the chickens), s wo
man living in lireene. county, about forty
,..;i.w l'lvniirpfanii 'iiicfilcc her hus
band in great terror declaring mat sue nan ;
i ust seen a murder done, and went on to tie-
J . . . , . I 1 l..,.... n

iiilly country with a wa;oii road running
tliuuijili it, and a fjirl with a huntlle tied in a
checkered handkerchief, hershoes and white
NttH-kinsrs in the otlier hand, walking briskly
down the grassy side of the road. She was
met hv a young man the woman judged
Irom their manner the meeting was hy ap
pointment; they sat down on a log and talk
ed for some time. The man at last rose and
steiied behind her, and drawing out a
hatchet, struck her twice on the head. M'.e
fell backward on the wet, rotten leaves dead.
Presently the man was joined by another,
also young, who asked, "Is it dime'.'" lie
, nodded and togethei they lifted the body and
carried it away out of sight. Alter a while
thev came back, fount! the bundle of Sunday
linery and the shoes ami stockings, all of
which were stained with blood. Then! was
a ruined old mill near the road : they went
into it, lifted a loose board in the Mooring,
nut the bundle, shoes, stockings, etc, wiih
the hatchet, underneath, and reiiluced the
, board. Then they separated ami went thro'
the woods in diilerent directions. The fann
er's wife toid her dream to her husband that
night ; the next day (Sunday) going to a lit
tle country church, she remained timing the
intermission between the moiiiinganil ntter
noou services. The neighbors who had come
from a circuit of twenty miles to chinch,
gathered, according to their homely habit, iu
ihe churchyard to eat their lunch anil cx-i-hangu
the news. Our dreamer told her
story again and again, lor she was impressed
by it as if it had been reality. Alter the af-
. ternoon service the coiigreoation separated,
guinototheir widely scattered homes. There
Vierc thus many witnesses ready to certify to
the fact that the woman had told the tlieam
the morning al ter the murder was committed
at a (ijtain-e of forty milts, when it was al
soluti !y impossible that the news should have
reached her. There were no telegraphs, we
tiiust remember, ami no railways, ii those
lavs not even mail-cairiers in those seclu
ded spots.
When the story of the girl's disappearance
was told over the country at the end of the
next week, the people .to whom the dieam
had been repeated recalled it. Xow-a-davs
the matter would only serve as good material
for the reporters, but'the men of those days
siill believed that I iod took an oversight even
of their dreams. Might this not be a hint for
lliur.' The Pev. Charles Wheeler, a PaptNt
clergyman of Washington, well known iu
W estern Peunsyl vania and Virginia a gener
ation ago. and Kphraim Hiaine, Ksp, a mag
istrate father ol the present Senator from
Maine, and as popular a man in his n.irrow
ii i !e drove over to see the woman who had
told the dream. W ithout stating their pur
pose they took her anil her husband, on pre
tence ot business, to the Plymiie larm. It
was the first time in her life that slu- had left
her own county, and she was greatly inter
ested and iimiisetl. They drove over the
whole of the nad down which 1,'aeht-l Ply
miie had gone.
"Have you ever seen this neighborhood-.'"
one of them asked.
"Never," she replied.
That ended the matter, and they turned
back, taking a little us.-d cross-road to save
time. Presently the woman sta-.teil up in
great agitation, crying, "This is the place 1
dreamed of I" They assured her that Kachel
Plymire bad not been upon that road at all.
"1 know nothing about her," she said, "but
the girl 1 saw in my dream came along here ;
'here is the path through which t'-e man
i came, and bcond that turning vou wili lind
j the logon which lie killed her." Thev did
find the log, and on the ground the stains of
blood. The woman, walking swiltlv, led
them to the old mill and to the board 'under
which lay the stained clothes ami the hutchet.
The uirl's bx.y was found afterward, buried
by a creek near at hand. Kachel's lover had
already been arrested on suspicion. It was
I hinted that he had grown tired of the girl,
and for many reasons found her hard to
shake off. The woman recognized him in a
crowd of otlier men and startled her com
panions till more by pointing out another
v-.ung fellow from the West as his compan
ion in her dream. The young man was tried
in the town of Washington for murder. The
dreamer was biouglit into Court, ami nn ef
but was made to put her on the witness
stand : but even then men could not be hung
on the evidence of a dream. Without it
there was not enough proof for conviction,
and the jury, unwillingly enough we may be
sure, allowed the prisoner to escae. It "was
held as positive pi oof of his gui't that he im-
! mediately married the sister of the other ac
cused man and removed to Ohio, 4 lien the
'wilderness of the West.

The Trials or a Modest Man Not Accus
tomed to the May of the t ouutrj.
Mr. l'reiitk-e Mul ford thus writes to
the San Francisco Chronicle from Vien
na :
Altera while 1 discovered that the Vien
nese who did wash themselves washed them
selves all over at the great public baths and
not in the little pint pitchers of water they
kept in their tel-rKiu.s. So I went to a pub
lic bath. 1 did not know what to ask for,
but I knew German enough for water. I
went in and said, "Wasser. They took my
; meaning immediately, or mey migni nave
j seen that I needed washing. I declare the j
ridiculous aniouut of water they furnish one j
! leads to dreadful results. There are two i
j passages leading into the great five storied j
i bath barrack one for males, the other for j
i females. Of course I took the wrong one, j
: and was shoved back by a woman with a i
' towel. 1 didn't see that" it made much dif- j
! ference, for the attendants on both sides j
were females. Marie hhowed me to my bath
room. Marie was a big, brown, black-eyed j
' Austrian maid, in round short skirts. She
j went ahead of me with an armful of towels. :
She opened my bath room door. I went in. '
' She came iu after me. 1 was quite unpre- !
pared for this. Uut she wasn't. She seemed;
, used to it, and went to work. She spread a !
. sheet on the bottom of a bath tub. I don't j
i know what it was for, but they always do it.
At all events it takes off the rough edge of :
tho zinc for one's skin. Then she turned on ,
hot water and waited. I waited also. Out :
of regard for the proprieties, 1 removed only j
my hut. 1 would not even take off my col
lar lie fore Marie. The water seemed a long
time running in. It generated a cloud of
steam which gradually filled the small bath
room, and through which vaporish atmos
phere Marie and I saw each other dimly.
Finally she gave me all the hot water 1 was
entitled to and left, itelievcd I sprang to
the door. There was no lock uimhi it. I
hunted in vain for some kind of a fastening.
1 sat down uneasy. Then 1 moved my coat
and collar. Then Marie burst in again with
anot tier towel. Then she went out. How
was 1 to bathe in peace wit h that confounded
girl continually intruding on me 7 Then I
tried to turn on some cold water and couldn't.
Hv this time 1 liau moved many of mv gar-
mnin, nim mi mi
jackknife. Instead of having sensible fau-
; eets, by wlncn a man could regulate his own
. How of water, these require the use of a
wrench to turn them. The w rench, I suj
pose, was kept by the attendant outside. I
i did not know any German for wrench, and,
; if 1 had, dased not call for one with the pros-
pect of the young lady's bringing it. So I sat
down or. the chair, which I had backed up
' against the door as an additional security
against Marie, and waited for the water to
cool. It takes hot water a long time to cool
; in Au-tria. Finally 1 got into the tub. I
Ihink it could not have been much in-low
boiling temperature. 1 got out again pretty
i quickly, blushing all over and sympathizing
more heartily than ever with boiled lobsters.
! It was an uncomfortable bath. 1 suffered
j externally from the water ami internally
; from fear of that possible Marie. 15ut she
' never came again. She left a large pile of
j linen for nie. I examined i. There was one
, towel about as large as a napkin, and two
long aprons, which reached from my head to
my Heels. I lie aprons puz.ieti me. 1 uui
j ied them for towels. A friend afterward
1 told me their use. They are to put on, the
one beloie and the other behind, on gettin-'
j out of the hot bath, and you sit in them and
S ring the bell for the attendant to enter, turn
! off 'the water and let on the cold. Marie all
i this time was waiting tor my bell, to come
' and turn on cold water. She never heard
that bell. I put on but mu- of these aprons '
t lie forward one. It titled me pt-r(etly.
1 It 'voubl fit aiiybiHiy. it was a s(ikinlil,itre.-s
for hot weatb'-r so ea.-y to put on ami off;
so liMiM-, t-ool ami eotiifoitaiile : so easy to
slip out of. and if need lie, l.m yourself with
tin; kirt. "

A great criminal I rial may Ik- likened
to a great drama. Kadi of the opposing
lawyers strives to make a certain im
pression on the twt !ve sjM-ctators in the
jury box, while the judge presides to see
that ail is done according to the rules of
law. One such trial took place some
twenty years ago in Indiana. The law
' ver for the prisoner was .loscpli Mar
shall, a creat orator. The successful
way in which he put the evidence for
the defence, and the power ot a single
' senti nee. are both exhibited in (he '.-
lowing narrative of the trial :
(.'tirrie w;is an eccentric old man, who
coupled the profession of sehiMiIinaster with
' that of "llflh ioi-tor." One nilit l urrie s
: wife liein taken violently ill, lie gave her
; w hat he took to lie calomel, hut which nrov
' ed to In- arsenic. Iii the morning slic was a
' t-orpse.
Alarmed at what lie had done, the old man
' locked up his little eahin nnd tied the neigh-
lioi liootl. A week latvr the smell of the de-
ertyiini luiiij- attracted the attention of pass
; els, and (.'urrie was indicteil for murder.
' Marshall, helie ine him innocent of any
w rung intent, volunteered to tU-tentl hiin,
; T'ne only witness called for the defense was
! l)r. t 'tirnett. a well known physician of Mad
, ion. Mr. Marshall, without preliminary
' nuestions, hamleil hiin two little pnicis,
carefully foldetl. ainl asked him to inform
! t lie jury tif their contents. The physician
i took llie papers, ad justed his spectacles, ami
' caref ally examined the coiilciits. Nid satis
: lied with this, he tiwik up a little of each
substance, sifted them between his thumb
and torelinger, smell them, and as a final
; test, tasted the least hit of each.
"I think, sir, this is arsenic, ami that cal
; oniel."
' '-That is sufficient, doctor," said Mr. Mar
; shall. The prosecution had iiothiin; to ask.
This closed the evidence, and Mr. Mar
: shall, bowing to the Court, and turning to
the jury, thus addressed them :
'Yonr honor, and gentlemen of the jury,
: you have noticed the absence of proof show
, Ing any criminal intenl. Xow, if. in the
broad light of day, and aided by the delicate
sense of tr ueli, and of taste, nml of silit.
: Dr. Cornell, learned in his profession and
skilled iu the use of linn's, decides with dif
ficulty, and some considerable show of un
; certainty, which is the poison ami which is
: the calomel, what can you expect of this
i poor old man. railed from his leil at niid
', night, his nerves unstrung with fear, his
, heart aching for a wife shaken with a dead
ly fever, his eyes dimmed w il h age, his mind
I overcome with dread '.
"Take him away and hang him. if your
, conscience w ill allow you !"
The effect was instantaneous and com
plete, (.'urrie was acquitted.
