ffHE TORKE FUUXITURE FACTORY.
T
A Strell Through It and Sme Notes
Made Glantet at the Complete Equip
ment and Ipteresting Proceasess.
We have cotton factories till
thfiy become a matter of course
and we do not think it a great
thing when a new one' is built,
but we Have a furniture factory
about two miles from' town that
"will, within about two months, be
a sight worth going all the way
to sees
It was our pleasure, recently,
to go through this capacious
shop that is now putting up bed
steads by the hundreds and in
which machinery is being added
that' will make it one of the very
best .furniture plants in the State.
The arrangement is a marvel
of convenience and machinery
does the work . in wonderfully
quick time.
The larg-e dry kiln is the start
ing point and if one is kept in
that place for a considerable
. time ho will be apt to want to
be good when he gets out again.
lie wants no'hottei place. The
kiln is shut off from the shop by
a heavy canvas curtain rolled
much like a stago curtain.
When lumber is drawn out the
first operation is at the cut off
saw where one man may cut 10,
000 feet a .day.
From the cut off the lumber is
wheeled to the automatic feed
rip saw which, by the way, is
both easy and safe compared
with the old way.
The buzz planer then gives a
true surface to 'each and the
planer gauges the thickness.
A heavy iron frame -table on
ball bearings carries the parts to
. be sawed at. both ends at the
same time t perfectly true in
length and shape."
Groovmg and tenoning ma
chines and the .boring machine,
that cuts a square holo and leaves
not a chip about, together with
the sanders, make the work
ready for the glue machine which
spreads the glue more perfectly
than any one can do with hand
and brush. Then the clamp,
that with one pull of the leaver,
brings up a Vfhqje bedstead at
onc$ mikes ready for tho scroll
work to be laid on.
In another part oiUhe immensl
workshop ve find the scroll
sawer lfe 4ays six or eight
pieces on aci other and nails
them firmly together then Jaysj
on nis pattern ana mark;
and marks the
outlines and with his little brtl
saw.4ooking jjpucJlli grand
mover's wiieel baait
er
run-
nifW; about as fast, he saws
4 W .f
to
the miuutest curves.
Next comes the carving ma
chine with its in strum en ts of
many kinds and shapes, witli its
1 I
many cutting edges, the discs ,
measuring about one and one
half inches in diameter, but buz-
zin at the rae of 8,000 tqvoIu
tions per minute. Th.es do the
pretty cutting and groving that
makes the. leaves the vines, tfie
twigs, the drapery, the fruits
and the flowers that you see imi
tated on stylish furniture.
For the costly grades of furni
ture the veneering room is inter
esting. Oak, poplar or any or
dinary wood is overlaid with
quartered oak (which is tediously
sawed so as to show the grain in
its prettiest display). Here
again the glue machine is in or
der. The writer was impressed with
the saw-filing machine and the
dowell pin machine, the former
clamps the saw and makes a
stroke with a file. Then the file
lifts, the saw is undamped and
moves forward, roclamped and
the filo makes another stroke.
When tho work is done the ma
chine stops. It fools no time
aws.y.
The dowell pin machine which
is in the department for doors
and blinds is anew and improved
design. Instead of the common
rod machine this cuts with two
half ciicular knives, mailing the
rod and at the samo time cutting
a small grove for the escape of
crluo when two much gets in the
way of the pin. This machine,
too, cuts the pins off with a neat
shape at Doth ends.
A complete system of pipes,
connected with two large suction
fans carries tho little chips,
shaving and sawdust from every
part of the shop to the furnace
room where it is used as fuel.
All about, you find little mouths
of this' pipe system extending
near the floor. You sweep the
litter to thase and in a jiffy it is
gone. By a peculiar device, into
which we did not get to look, the
draught of air and the shavings
are separated so that the shav
ings are dropped gently down
without being bldwn about.
By an elevated, prang way the
furniture is taken to the large
two story finishing and storage
building whers the stainer. and
varnisher puts on the finishing
touches.

BLED TO DEATH ODER SKIN.
Baltimore Merchaiit Carried Off With
out TTjirninff.
Frank P L Farmer, a mer
chant of this city died yesterday,
at Johns Hopkins Hospital by
Lbleeding to death under the
skin. There are four similar
cases on record, but -this is the
only one wherein a full-grown
man of excellent physique has
v ! i. . ' ., v -
suffered. The other cases were
confined to .two weak women
and two sickly children. The
disease is known as purpura
hemorrhagia; but its primary
cause is a mystery.
Tho attack came without
warning. First came several
instances of bleeding at tho nose
which were relieved in tho
ordinary way. Two weeks ago
the blood began to pour from
his gums, ears and eyes. No
further attack camo until last
Tuesday, when blue spots, rang
ing in size from a pin-head to a
dime appeared, and within a few
hours covered every portion of
the body.
Thursday numbness in tho
left arm came and then several
hemorrhages that weakened tho
patient. Ho died early the
following morning. The bluo
spots wero found to bo duo to
the hemorrhages under the skin,
causing the bursting of tissues.
Changes in Lutheran Chapel Charge.
The Lutheran Chapel congre
gation, we learn, has voted unan
imously for Rev. J Q Wertz.as
pastor and Centre Grove which
now wishes to reunite with Luth
eran Chapel will most probably
vote the same way next Sunday.
The arrangement will be com
pleted for confirmation of Synod
in May. St. Marks, at China
Grove, is now self sustaining
and will extend a call soon.

assimilation, improve appetite.
