HOW THREAD IS MADE.
Wht Cotton Cue Through Hefora II
: Krai-lien the Needle.
Few people over stop to think of the
twisting mid turning and the various
processes that cotton fiber goes through
after It i taken from the pud before it
in wound up on a spool and ready for
tho housewife's needle. The whole
story U told, however, In a small spat e
In one of the cases in the hall in the
National Museum given up to an exhi
bition of textile fabrics. This is one
of the many object lessons in the mu
seum, which, combined, are intended
to tell the story of a man as he exists
on tho earth. First is shown a speci
men of cotton In the pod Just as it Is
picked, without having the seeds re
moved. Next is shown a specimen of
the same cotton after It has been
ginned and tho black seeds have been
removed.
The Sea Island cotton Is used
for thread on account of the
length of the fiber. A sample of the
sacking in which the cotton is baled i
also shown. Then the cotton Is sup
posed to have been baled and shipped
to tho thread factory. Here the tint
thing that is dono with the cotton Is to
subject it to tho "picker" process, by
which the cotton from several bales is
mixed U) sceuro uniformity. During
tho picker process much waste in the
form of dust, dirt and short fibers are
separated from the good fibers by the
picker. Next the "picked" cotton rs
wound on a machine in sheets or laps
Into a roll. The next process illus
trated by a practical exhibit is the
carding by which tho sheets of cotton
are combed or run nut into long paral
lel libers. The cotton is next seen
drawn through a trumpet-shaped open
ing, which condenses it into a single
strand or "sliver." Then eight such
slivers are run together into one, six of
the strands thus produced are drawn in
to 0110, and again six of the strands from
tho last drawing are combined into
one. Then comes tho stubbing or fast
"roving" process, which consists of
winding the strand and bobbin. Two
Strands are twisted and again wound
on a bobbin. After a humber of other
twlstlngs and windings, during which
the strand is gradually reduced In size,
until It begins to assume a thread-liki
appearance, two strands of this, tine
"roving" are run together and twisted,
under considerable tension, on a bob
bin that makes seven thousand revolu
tions a minute. Two of the cords thus
produced Is transferred thenco to an
other spool, and then three threads of
two cords each are twisted together,
forming six-cord thread.
One who has followed tho process
sees the cotton gradually transformed
from a wide band or sheet of loose cot
ton to a compact thread that will pass
through tho eye of a needle. The six
cord thread Is at last taken from a bolt
bin and reeled into a skein, in which
form it is bleached or dyed. Then it
is wound back into tho skein upon a
big spool, from which it Is supplied to
little white birch spools from which it
is wound iu regular courses, and is
then ready for the market. Tho ma
I'hino that regulates tho last winding
measures tho number of yards wound
on each spool. The spools are made
of various sizes to hold from two hun
dred to twelvo thousand yards of
thread. Tho labels that decorate tho
ends of tho spools when they are sold
are last put on. They are cut and
pasted on by machinery with .great
rapidity. Washington Star.

NEW CONSUMPTIVE CURE.
Its Method and JUwultl Described by a
Mixllml purlodlral.
A largo share of professional and
public attention has quite recently
Leen directed to the administration of
gaseous enemata for the treatment of
hlood poisoning ana 01 aticctions 01
the respiratory passages. The object
In view is to supply to the venous circu
lation an antiseptic, such as hydrogen
siilph'do, in sullleient doses to bo ef
fectivea result Impossible when sup
plied directly to the arterial current,
a plan which would poison the patient
Hydrogen sulphide in far less than suf
ficient doses would suffocate the- pa
tient; taken by the stomach, it would
produce other serious results. Admin
istered hy the bowels, however, and
entering the venous current already de
teriorated hy organic refuse.it is quick
ly eliminated by the respiratory tract,
which thus becomes subjected to its
beneficial local antiseptic effects with
out subjecting the system at large to
injury, us when thrown into the ar
terial current In other words, the
parasite is killed, without killing the
individual. Its benellcial effects in
phthisis are explained by the action of
the gas on the suppurative and septic
surfaces, and not by any influence on
the bacillus tuberculosis; the consump
tion proper, the exhaustion, being due
to the suppuration and to the conse
quent scpticamiia, and not imme
diately to tho bacillus, which,
while it produces the destruction
of tissue, does not produce tho
morbid phenomena. Tho method
of administration utilizes tho dis
covery announced by Bernard in 18.17,
that toxic materials introduced into
tho economy through an organ at a
distance from the arterial system could
not penetrate into tho arterial system
because it is eliminated before that
system can bo reached. Volatile sub
stances are eliminated by the pulmon
ary alveoli.
July 12, 1880, Dr. Bergeon commu
nicated to tho French Academy of
Sciences tho results of several years'
investigation Into the method, and
Prof. Cornil also presented a later pa
per on tho subject
Various nutiscptio gases and vapors
have been tried, but abandoned on ac
count of local irritant action, hut a
mixture of carbon dioxide (carbonic
acid gas) and hydrogen sulphide (sul
phuretted hydrogen) is entirely harm
less when properly used and com
pletely deprived of atmospheric air.
The method has up to the present been
used upon about one hundred cases in
thiseity without any untoward effects,
so far as known, except in one or two
instances, one of which was due to a
leaky bag and another to incorrect
administration. It is, perhaps, too
soon to decide, positively on the thera
peutic value of tho new method, but it
seems in the experience iu this city
to have the special quality of diminish
ing night sweats and improving the
appetite.
In licrgcon's enses the trifling ex
pectorations of thoso apparently prac
tically cured continued to contain
bacilli. This fact may be taken both
for an Indication that the immediate
danger iu phthisis is less from the
baecilli than from tho septieiemiii which
they set up, and as an indication that
tliis protective treatment, when suc
cessful, should not bo discontinued
until the general healthiness of the
tissues Is sutllcieutly restored to resist
the further development and suste
nance of the bacillus tuberculosis.

SMILES TO THE FRONT.
gge Ileuiarka ot Devout Hellerer la
Chrarfulnea and HopefulneM.
Among army people an order Is
obeyed implicitly and unquesiioningly.
If the commanding officer orders "sap
pers and miners to the front," or
"women and baggage to the rear,"
"theirs not to reason why, theirs but
to do or die," and in this way victories
are won and good order maintained.
What a delightful thing it would be if
some cheerful commander should cry
out with stentorian voice, "frowns to
the rear," "smiles to tho front," upon
our streets and highways and byways.
There is a good bit of Christian science,
or philosophy, In looking happy, re
gardless of your individual feelings.
Why should we visit our woes upon
our fellows? Why should we draw
down our faces and purse up our lips,
or render others uncomfortable because
we chance to be? It is wonderful to
watch the effect of ono bright spirit,
even in a horse-car. Every one is
solemn. The banker, who is one of
tho most agreeable men in the world
In his own houso, is meditating, with
a frown on his handsome face. Some
stock is booming and he is thinking
seriously of his next move. Tho law
yer, with his bag, gives a sharp look
about the car, produces his nickel, and
proceeds to bite his mustache, looking
judicially grave. The woman opposite
scans her neighbor and settles herself
down with hard lines on her face. There
is no one there she knows. Why should
she care? And so it is In all the cars.
People look like victims going to the
dentist, or mourners at a funeral, where
they must go, but do so under protest.
Now let a bright man enter with a smile
on his face, a cheery word on his lips
as he gives tho conductor his fare, and
a show of amiability which touches
every one; what happens? Faces begin
to shorten, smiles peep out like sly
snowdrops after a hard winter, and
every one, no one knows quite why,
fgels happier. Cheerfulness is conta
gious, nud as tho world wags on and we
each have our pilgrim's pack, seen or
unseen, upon our backs, why not smile
and make the best of things?
A school of expression for the human
countenance might benefit nil man
kind and react upon tho physical con
dition of posterity. As a devout believer
In cheerfulness and hopefulness, the
Globe invites all its readers to cast
nside the grimness born of hardship,
fear and necessity, and in its place cul
tivate the presence which attracts, the
amiability w hich endures and the good
ness of heart which finds something to
be grateful for every day and some
thing worth living for. In short, let us
have cheerful faces to tho front Bos

MEASURING SUNSHINE.
An Instrument Which Indplllily Record
Kvery (ilenui of 8iinllelit.
There was a time, not many years
ago, when the sun might shine and
shine with all its might, and yet leave
no scientific record of its presence be
yond the effect of mere heat shown by
the thermometer. Nowadays all this
is changed, nnd there are scattered
over various portions of the country
instruments which catch every gleam
of bright sunlight and write it down in
delibly, so that by looking at the pic
ture presented we may see at a glance
whether such and such a day was
really fine or cloudy. The contrivance
by which this is effected is exceedingly
simple, consisting as it docs of nothing
more than a solid glass ball set on a
pedestal with a surrounding frame in
which to place at a suitable anglo a
little strip of blue cardboard. Tho
glass ball plays the part of a burning
glass, and when the sun shines brightly
the rays nre focussed upon tho strip of
cardboard, where the effect is seen in a
scorched patch of more or less distinct
ness. As the relative position of the
sun changes- tho scorch changes, too,
so that nt the end of a bright, sunny
dav the picture on the cam consists of
a long scorched lino. By measuring
this lino we get a record of the number
of hours' sunshine prevalent during
tho day. The Instrument, although
coniniendably simple, has one great
drawback. If the brilliancy of the sun's
rays be shrouded even to a very small
extent by mist or by a thin vail of cir
rus cloud the heat produced is in
sufficient to produce a burn on the
card. Manchester Examiner.

Their Wives and Children.
The President's mail contains an
average of from one hundred to one
hundred and fifty letters a day from
persons whoso claims for pensions are
pending before the department These
people address the Chief Executive in
the belief, probably, that the Pension
Office Is next door to the White House,
and that theirs is the only letter he
may have received In a week.
About one-half of these letters arc
sent to Mrs. Cleveland. The writers
in such cases aro usually the wives or
daughters of tho petitioners. Some of
them bestow upon Mrs. Cleveland such
titles as "Her Majesty," "Empress"
and other appellations of royalty.
There are few of the letters that do not
contain some touches of human nature.
They are evidently written in the sin
cere belief that Mi's. Cleveland will as
sist them if her sympathies can only
be aroused. With this object in view
a great mass of detail is set forth in
the communication, which, together
with the obscure chirograph' and bad
spelling, make its understanding a
matter of no inconsiderable time and
labor.
It may bo said in this connection that
neither the President nor Mrs. Cleve
land is even aware of tho existence of
these letters. They nre opened by nn
unromantic and unsentimental clerk at
the Executive mansion, from whose
hands they fall into the waste-basket
and are never heard of ngain.
The women who address Mrs. Cleve
land furnish her with suggestions as to
the better method of presenting their
claim to the President One of the
plans which a perusal of tho letters
show that all women hold in common
is for her to wait until Mr. Cleveland
has had his supper and then, when he
is enjoying n quiet smoke in the parlor
(sic) bring the matter to his attention.
Many of them tell her that this is the
hour of the day when a man is most
amenable to argument, and that they
(the writers) prefer this as the safest
time for presenting their own requests.
The applicants for pensions, vh6
write to the President are, as has been
said, old soldiers, who, like the femi
nine part of the family, are sadly defi
cient in the principles of even an ele
mentary education. They write, too,
iu a more vigorous style than their
helpmeets, and their language is some
times of so robust a' nature that it fre
quently provokes a smile. For exam
ple, an Illinois man who addresses the
President in a letter received to-day
savs :
"The pension officials tell mo to get
corroborative evidence from some of
my comrades. I want to tell you it's a
hard matter to get evidence from men
who go into nn action and never come
out again," and then he continues by
saying that his company went into the
Wilderness a hundred strong, nnd at
the end of tho seven days' light there
were but nine of tho number who were
left to tell tho tale.
Sometimes the letters nre written by
children, who begin in this fashion :
"Dear Mr. President : I nm a little girl
only ten years of age. My papa does
not know I am writing this letter. If
he did he would not permit it." Then
follows a pathetic tale of want and
misery, touching enough in its simple
style of treatment, but rendered doubly
so by tho fact of the writer's youth and
innocence.
Several months ngo one of these
touching missives chanced to reach the
President's eye. Its simple pleading
touched a sympathetic chord in the
i resident s heart, me little miss
begged the retention of her father, a
Republican, on the board of medical
examiners in the New England town iu
which their home was located. She
said he was very old and dying of an
incurable disease. Tho 'position paid
hi in a salary of about f l.L'OO a year,
and in view of the fact that he could no
longer practice his profession the fore
going sum was their only source of in
come, iho letter concluded naively in
these words: "Pupa must not know
ibout this. It must bo a secret be
tween you and me. If you decide to
keep him mark nn X on the back of
the inclosed postal card nnd then I will
know that you are going to grant my
wish."
The President sent the letter nnd in-
closure to Commissioner of Pensions
Black, with this indorsement: "If there
are no charges against the examiner in
iiiestion you will oblige me by retain
ing him in his present position."
General Black investigated the mat
ter, and found that tho examiner was
not an old man, but, on the contrary, a
ty young lollow scarcely thirty
years of age, and that so far from hav
ing "a little girl only ten years of age,"
he was not even married.
The telegraph after this couldn't car
ry his dismissal quick enough to him,
and since that time letters from little
girls who write without their papa's
knowledge are incontinently destroyed
as "fakes" pure nnd simple." Washing,

DAKOTA BANKING.
How the People of That Territory Stand
by Their friend.
I ran across a New York man the
other day who Is largely Interested in
the banking business of Dakota. The
conversation drifted Into a discussion
of tho character of the people out
there. "They may bo rough in their
manners," said he, "and uncouth in
their ways, but they stand by a man
when he "is in trouble and they never
forget a friend. I had an opportuni
ty," he went on, "to test this trait not
many years ngo. The bank of the
town where I was staying found it
self greatly enibarrr.ssod one lino day
by the failure of its principal corres
pondent In tho Territory. This fact
became known late in the afternoon
of the day that tho news of the failure
reached the town. A llin on the bank
the following morning was inevitable.
To meet it there was but six thousand
dollars in the vaults. The remainder
of the assets could not immediately be
turned into ready cash. The president
of tho bank was at his wits' ends. He
didn't know what to do. Morning
came nnd he decided to closo the bank.
Ho was about to give the necessary or-
ib'is when in walked a committee of
the leading merchants of the place
Thev asked for nn explanation of the
situation. It was given to them and
likewise an opportunity to look nt tho
books. A short examination sulliced
to show that tho bank was only teni-
norarilv embarrassed. They said to
the president: 'You open the doors nt
ten o'clock as usual and pny tho de
pifdtors; we'll see you through this
thing.' 'But how are you going to do
it?' said the president; 'I have but six
thousand dollars here nnd there nre at
least thirty thousand dollars in deposits
to be met. Half of that sum is clam
oring on the sidewalk now.' 'Never
mind, vou open the bank nnd go
ahead.' said the committee, 'and we
will see you through.'
"Well, the bank was opened nnd in
rushed the depositors nnd out went the
money. The pile of greenbacks on the
cashier's desk grew smaller nnd
smaller and the crowd of depositors
continued to increase with every
minute. Still the paying nt the
teller's window went on. On the side
walk tho people who hud drawn their
money were met by some of the mer
chants who had promised to see the
bank through. 'What are you going to
do with your money? they would ask.
'I don't know,' came the answer. 'Sup
pose you leave it with us; you know our
house and know that we are rcsponsi
ble. We will give you a note and so
much interest' To tho farmers (for
the majority of depositors were
farmers) the money in their pockets
where it drew no interest was of little
use; they' preferred, of course, tho
notes and were without difficulty per
suaded to part with their money. As
soon ns they had received the money
the merchants would deposit It in the
bank. The same money was paid over
the counter three times or oftener in
the course of the day, and when the
bank closed at three o'clock in tho
afternoon it had in its vaults as much
money as it had started with in tho
morning, and with $6,000 it had paid
over $20,000 of deposits. The prompt
ness with which it met the demands of
the depositors staid the panic and the
next morning there was not the slight
est indication of a run. This is nn ab
solutelv true story," said my inform
ant in conclusion, "for I was myself
the president of that bank. Now can
