hot or cold, and huge caldron of molten
type metal, a combination of lead, antimony
and tin. Along side is the steam table, heated
almost to the melting point, while all around
are moving belts, whirling pulleys and rat

requires the utmost care, skill and expedi
ton. First the face of the type is carefully
per properly dampened is placed upon it and
pounded into it with course
brushes until every outline of
the type is perfectly reproduced. This
is backed by dampened paper of coarser
grade, when the whole is placed on the steam
table to dry. 1t is here placed under a
heavy pressure, and at the end of four min
utes the matrix is produced, ''as dry as a
chip" In less time than it takes to write
the words the matrix is in the mould, and
two stalwart men have poured the metal in,
which, when hardened, presents an exact fac
simile OF apage of type save that tits semi-cir-
eular in form, so as to be easily adjustable to
the cylinders of the press. A steam knife cuts
off all superfuous metal from the ends of the
| casting; a chisel removes projections here
and there; a steam knife at a single
stroke planes the plate to the exact thickness
required, and before the metal has become
cool enough to handle with bare hands the
plate is ready for the press. The. process
from first to last occupies from twelve to
fifteen minutes.
IN THE PRESS ROOM.
From the stereotypers department, which
is upon the same floor with the composing
and editorial rooms, the stereotype plates are
transported by elevator to the press room, To-
| Gated in the rear of the main
building Here the first object
| OF interest is the paper wetting machine.
The white paper comes from the paper mill
in huge rolls, weighing from five to eight
hundred pounds. To prepare it for the press
tits first run through the wetting machine.
The paper is reeled about hollow iron spin
die, and this roll is raised by machinery and
put in place in the wetting machine. This
machine is provided with trough for water in
which grooved cylinder rapidly revolves.
The paper is carried by a system of cylinders
to the opposite end of the machine from
where the dry roll is placed and fastened to
an empty spindle, and then when the steam
power is applied the paper is reeled from one
cylinder to the other, passing be-
tween the cylinder carrying the
water in the grooves and a larger fat sur
| faced cylinder, thereby receiving the water in
a uniform manner. This wetting process is
performed usually the day previous to the use
of the roll.

the ingenuity of American brains and the
skill OF American mechanics.
The press is started with the utmost ease
by pulling lever with one hand, and every
moment while it is in motion a man stands
with his hand upon the lever ready to stop
its motion in an instant if occasion re-
quires.
10 show how much progress has recently
been made in the direction Of compact con-
struction of printing presses it may be Incl
dentally mentioned that whereas the latest
printing presses constructed in the great es-
tablishment of R. Hoe & Co., New York,
three years ago occupied space twenty-four
feet by twelve, the last press built there-that
| now used by the GLoBE-with all the latest
| improvements, fills a space of but nine by
sixteen feet, and can print at least 5000 pa
| pers an hour more than any other machine
| OF the kind previously constructed. 1t takes
| the labor of large number of men for six
| months to construct one of these presses. and
thus far but three with these latest improve
ments have been built. An idea of the char
acter OF the machine may be formed from its
cost, which, with its accompanying stereotyp-
| ing and other outfits, is thirty thousand dol
lars cash.
From the press the papers pass to the
| hands of the mailing clerks and the city dis
| tributor. The former dextrously label each
| paper with the subscribers name, wrap the
| packages for each town separately, and dis
| patch them in hot haste to the postoffice,
| where they are assorted in bags and sent by
| rail to their destination. The city distribu-
! tor takes his allotment and apportions them
out to his carriers, who, between 4 and 5
O'Clock in the morning, start on their
routes, that are sometimes long, and at this
season always weary.

morning, does he realize how much labor it
has taken to produce its The city reporters
have scouredsevery nook and corner of St.

preceding twenty-four hours; the political
editors have diligently perused the current
gossip and news of the day, and deduced
therefrom their conclusions; the news editors

es, and from these culled such morsels and

Sixty-four thousands impressions, thirty
two thousand newspapers cut, folded and
ready for the counter or the newsboy in one
hour, as compared with what was considered
the matchless lightning press, and this again
compared with what was done twenty years
before, fills the mind with wonder.

cant but entertaining nothings have submit
ted the product of their brains, and there is
an abundance of ''copy,'' with which to start
the nights work. For a few minutes before

will be forcibly remindeded of Babel, so

tongues Just as the clock points
the hour, the cry of 'stime" changes ALL In
an instant all is quiet, and save for the click
of the types as they take their places in the
stick at the bidding of deft fingers, scarce
sound is heard. Necessary questions are
asked and answered in a subdued tone of
voice, and everybody seems to be racing with
everybody else to see who will accomplish the

work begins. He compares the
proof before him with the original

CHICAGO, Feb. 13.-The most Rev. Arch
bishop Feehan will arrive in Chicago Sunday
afternoon, Feb. II, over the Ft. Wayne road
after his trip to Rome. A grand procession,
composed of sixty-eight Roman Catholic
societies and the clergy of the city, will meet
his grace at the union depot in body. On
the arrival of the train, the societies will

this was the highest rate of speed which any
press had reached, and the triumph of genius
was again awarded to Hoe.
In 1877 the Bullock, with life infused by
rivalry, struck off with ease 10000 complete
papers an hour from one press, and the work
was done in such way as could be verified
by the looker-on.
But the whirlwind of improvements was
not yet at its height. In 1879 a Scott Press
was born in Chicago, and the first one built
was to have capacity fifty per cent greater
than either Bullock, Walter, or a Hoe.
1t began to rapidly supersede all of them.
Its capacity was 80, 900 newspapers, printed,
cut, and folded-6O, 600 impressions in an
hour. This is so recent that no cyclopedia
or dictionary has as yet embraced it, and in
1881 it had received various touches of i'm
provement so that it reached the actual fig
ures of 80, 900 papers ready for the carrier
inside of sixty minutes.
Hoe could not endure such rival, and
did wise thing, bought him out.
The improvements have been so rapid,
and the interval of time so short, that it will
be of interest to show in tabular form, the
almost incredible strides that have been
taken in even the past thirteen years.

surface there is our system of courtship,
which seems as if especially designed for
mischief. To be kind and attentive to the
object of ones affection is natural on the
part of both man and woman. But, ac-
cording to custom, the gentleman must do
all the wooing, the labor of love making
falls to him, and, as a rule, he does not
spare himself. For weeks, for months, for
years, he worships at the feet of his fair one
with compliment, flattery and endless at
tentions. He seems the slave of her small
est wish. In all this there is much acting,
often much conscious acting. Marriage is
the dropping of the curtain with it ends
the merry, but in it's consequences, melan-
choly farce. And when he sees the effect of
the play, he sincerely wishes it had never
been. The heattentions cannot continue. Nor
is it desirable that they should. Yet in
getting them for time, women are taught
to expect them forever. The arrangement
is cruel to women. 1t is like the practice OF
first spelling children, and then Furnishing
them for being spoiled.

LITTLE THINGS.

BY E., E. GREEN.
Little things and little sayings,
Little wishings, little deeds,
Little doings and little delaylngs,
Little hopes and little passions,
Little scenes of joy and strife,
Little ways and little fashions
Make at least little life.
Little laughter, little weepings,
Little longings, little prayers;
Little dreams, awake or sleeping,
Little sorrows, little cares,
Little crosses hard to carry,
Little light and little gloom,
Little pleasures while we tarry
On our journey to the tomb.
Little blessings, little trials,
Little friends of truth and worth,
Little askings and denials,
Little moods of grief and mirth,
Little pride, conceit and glory,
Little laurels we have won,
Little trusting in 'The Story"
And our little work is done.
Little sins and little vices,
Acts of mercy and of love,
Little treasures that entice
Us from better things above.
Little love of fieeting beauty,
Little penitence for sin,
If we do our little duty,
a little crown we may win.
Little moments, sad and weary,
When with life we fain would part,
Little clouds so dark and dreary.
Little achings of the heart;
Little sunlight, little shading
In our little pathway blend;
Little blossoms blooming, fading,
And our little laborS end.

A CLEVER PRINCE.-A German paper
tells this story: Once when visiting small
town in one of the smallest German states,
the sovereign prince was received at the
gates by twenty young damsels in white. AS
apiece of cunning strategy, the ten prettiest
maidens were placed in the front rank, and
the ten less pretty ones in the second.
Charmed with the attractive appearance of
the vanguard, His Serene Highness did
what comported iteself well with his sixty
years and his princely dignity-he kissed
every one of them on their beautiful FORE
heads. At the end of the front rank he
made sudden pause-only for couple Of
seconds, however; then beckoned to his ad-
jutant, "Sparrenholz, here, go on with the
