HOW MUSIC IS PRINTED.
A Process Concerning Which the Public
is Not Well Posted.

If the public will be as much surprised
to learn how sheet music is printed as wa!

interest, says the Boston Globe. A wall

music publishing houses in Boston, under
the tutelage of its courteous foreman, L

ready for market. Come up into the
press-rooms."
The pressroms are very unlike theil
newspaper prototypes. Not sound loud
enough to interfere with conversation is
heard in them, for sheet music is printed
all by hand.
Two kinds of presses are used; the old
style "plank" press and the improved OF
I'D" press. The latter consists of a slid
ing table several feet square, on which are
two raised blocks just the size of sheet
of music, on which are placed the plates
from which the printing is done.
The plates having been linked and the
paper laid on them, the printer gives a
turn to an immense wheel, FIVE and one
half feet in diameter, the sliding table
slides under a large roller covered with a
belt. and the paper is forced against the
plate. thus giving the impression,
and another revolution of the
wheel brings the apparatus back to its
original position. The "plank" press is
like the other. except that in using it the
plates are linked on bench and laid on
the blocks every time an impression Is
taken. while with the '.D' press the plates
are not removed from the blocks until the
edition is run of.

one sheet at time, and man can take

This plate, which looks like silver, is

plate is put on a.hot block, and beeswax is
melted into the design. That, too, is a
ticklish matter. If we wipe it off too
soon we spoil it, and if We let it get too
hard it crumbles and won't hold the ink.
Once beeswaxed, plate can be used for
printing for years.

THAT TERRIBLE GRIPPE.
What 1t Really Is Explained by One G

The President of one of the lessiing New
York Medical colleges in conversation With the
writer the other evening, said:

caused so much talk, is a more severe affliction
than pe ople usually think 1t arises mysteriously

phere The last time it visited America was in
1893 and il came then, as now, from Asia. The
name influenza, comes from the suggestion
that the malady was due to the influences of
the heavenly bodies, but more modern cienee
has discovered that it is due to the changes in
the electrical conditions. Whatever may be
the cause. it is q strong congestion of the blood
vessels and mucous membrane. principally in
the head and throat and nothing but strong
stlmulants will check this congestion and keep
the blood actually circulating. For this pur-
pose know of nothing better than pure whisky
and believe Duffy's Pure Malt TO be the best

Formerly this influenza was said to preeede
an epidemic of the plague. aud the person who
was about to be taken with the latter, has as a
preliminary, fit of sneeziug. Now it precedes
worse epidemic than the plague, namely. the
terrible pneumonia. its beginning is slight, but
its ending is often terrible. Pains in the limbs,
back, chest and head; a sore throat aud lack
of appetite; copious discharge at the nose; these
are some of the symptoms of this dread disease.

symptoms, nervous feeling, or lassitude, resort

the hands of the enemy, with the mess
plate and other regimental property.
After considerable correspondence, extend
ing over period of two years, the chest
was returned to the Forty.sixth by Napo-
leon. Since the French war the regiment
has been stationed in India, New South
Wales, Gibraltar, Canada, Corfu and the
Crimea, and while IN Australia the lodge
regalia and Bible were used in instituting
the first Masonic lodge in that colony. 1t
is worthy of remark that Masonry owed
its establishment in the United States
largely to the Masonic lodges attached to
the British regiments which formed the
garrisons of the old colonial settlements.
In 1916, the Forty-sixth being then sta
toned at Kingston, Ont, the lodge,
owing to changes in the regiment, APP
peared destined to collapse, and Captain
Childs of the Forty-sixth willingly handed
over the property to Brother w. Shep-
pard, Sergeant-Major of the Royal Artil-
lery, who was anxious to start perma-
nent military lodge in Montreal. The
Grand Lodge of Ireland willingly granted
renewal of the warrant, and the lodge
of Social and Military Virtues, No. 227,
lTlsn heSlSteI, was permanently SSt<o-
lished in Montreal. 1t appears from the
bylaws, dated 1S4S, that the lodge had
been erected to enable naval and military
brethren temporarily stationed in Mon
treal to enjoy the rights and privileges of
Freemasonry without being subjected to
the Fee usually required from permanent
residents. On the formation Of the Grand
Lodge of Canada the lodge threw in her
lot with the newly.formed Grand Lodge,
and at a second annual communication of
this Grand Lodge, held in Montreal in
1857, resolution was passed permitting
the lodge to change its name TO Antiquity,
wear gold instead of silver jewels, and to
take precedence over all numbered lodges.

Could there be more instructive lesson
upon the value of getting the pullets to
laying in October and November, and
then keeping them laying? 1t costs no
more to feed fowl in December than
in April or May. In fact, she has
to be fed whether she lays eggs or not,
and if she lays eggs, even though lower
in number, still the price is so much
higher the profit is nearly three times
greater, and this profit can be pocketed by
any farmer who will take the pains to care
for his fowls for this result.

KITCHEN CABINET,

A most convenient kitchen cabinet or
table said to have been designed by a
woman and made by her husband should
have a place in every kitchen. The table
which is of hard wood is oblong in shape
and not very high. 1t contains four draw
ers, two at one end of about the same size,
a long one in the middle and fourth
small drawer at the other end. These
drawers are to be used for silver polish,
soaps, securing material, brushes for silver
and glass, for dish towels and cloths, and the
countless other small things needed in dish
washing and baking.
There are also several shelves and open
compartments Of different sizes for holding
the kneadIng board, roIling-pin, etc. But
the special feature of the table is high
back like that attached to a plain side
board or commode, against which are fast
ened at either ends cranes to hold the
ielIv-bag or other substances that must be
filtered, the cranes being so arranged that
they may be turned back against the table
when not In use.
Fastened against the back of the table
are also two very narrow shelves, contain
ing openings Just large enough to hold in
place the various knives, forks and spoons
used in cooking, which are suspended in
them vertically. In the center of the
back Is a small closed cabinet, in which
may be kept the cook books and other
memoranda, the door of the cabinet being
provided with a rack, where the cook book
may be held securely and open at the
right place.
Such cabinet is of great value in saw
ing both time and many weary steps, es-
pecially for those mistresses who have no
maids, or in flats, where every inch of
room has to be counted. By Its side
should be a chair of convenient height, for
many things in housekeeping may be done

Can any farmer earn dollar day in

Everybody's hens will lay in April and
May. Only well-cared-for hens will lay in
December, January and February, and it
is winter eggs at winter prices that pay the
profits. A very suggestive illustration of
this can be made by comparing the egg ac-
counts of December, 1888, and April, 1889,
from the same 125 fowls:

Ocean Patrol,

WASHINGTON, April Representative
Turner to-day introduced preamble
and joint resolution for the better pro-
lection of human life on the Atlantic
ocean. He calls attention to the recent
accident to the City of Paris, and says
that the rivalry between competitive
lines of steamships is SO keen that con
sideratlons of safety and even humanity
are often lost sight Of.
He holds that better protection to
humane life and property can be afforded
BY system of ocean patrol than by any
other means. Such system Of ocean
patrol must necessarily be maintained
by different nations, and the resolution
lnstructs the president to communicate
with the foreign powers. interested in
transatlantic travel, with view to Sc
curing their cooperation in the estab-
lishment of an efficient system of ocean
patrol.
