An Impressive Sight.

Few sights are more impressive than
the machine room Of one of our daily
paper in the small hours Of the morning,
SAYS William Blades in the "Pentateuch
of Printing" Suppose you have obtained
an order to see the paper put to press,
the best way is to engage rooms for
the night at ueigboring hotel. II the
stage has attractions for you there will
be plenty of time for leisurely supper
after the play is over, and then, about
2 o'clock, to sally into Fleet street,
which, even at this hour, is anything
but neglected thoroughfare. Entering
the printing Office we visit the foundry
room first, where the foreman explains
the use of various tools and arrangements,
and has scarcely finished when the first
page Of the paper comes down fro the
composing room. There Is no dawdling
now. The page of type is quickly placed
beneath the platen Of press and a thick
sheet of a soft MATERIAL mixture OF
papier-mache and plaster Of Paris, called
the Aong-is placed upon the face OF the
type. The plsten descends and by
pressure forces the type into the soft
foug aud makes a complete mould. The
fong is tnen dried rapidly while still ad-
herring to the type. When taken off it
is placed in a beautifully made steel
mould. This mould is curved to quar-
ter-circle, and when the fong is placed
inside it aud the liquid metal poured in,
the result is curved plate with cast
from the type on its outer surface. This
plate is placed upon saddle and all ex-
crescences rapidly removed with great
skill from the edges aud various spaces !;
it is ready then for the machine room.
So soon as eight pages are fastened on
the cylinder of the first machine the
printing begins. At one end Of the ma
chine is a heavy reel of paper, sufficient
to make about 5000 complete papers. 1t
is wound round a core like that used for
a garden hose and forms a solid mass,
which unwinds rapidly when the ma
chine grips it. A knife with unerrins
precision cuts off each paper as soon as
printed, and delivers it on to the collect
ing board. Soon after No. l machine
gets to work No. ? is supplied with
plates and started; 50 with the other
machines, until eight or nine are all
printing at once, each delivering about
$4,000 complete copies an hour, so that
with eight machines the delivery would
be SO, 900 per hour. The din is some
thing awful, and entirely prevents toe
asking of questions. Relays Of men are
always hurrying away from each machine
loaded with printed papers. These are
counted into qures in the warehouse,
and at once delivered to the news agents.
A curious and interesting circumstance
attending such speedy printing is the
large amount of electricity in the printed
heaps. l have seen quite long spark
dart out of a heap into a mans knee,
and occasionally much inconvenience
arises from electrical repulsion and at
traction, interfering with the passage of
the sheets.

possessed Henry Haddon to marry wax
dox like that, l don't knowl l could
have managed to hire some one to take

like to show Henry what mistake he
made"
Mrs. Harry herself closed the door
after the loud voice and squeaking boots
of Juliana with a sensation of relief.
She went back to the fire an candle,
and with one trim little foot poisel on
the fender, re-read ber husbands letter.
"Now is my opportunity" she said to
herself. at is great undertaking; but
surely l can do what Juliana Joyce could.
TIL stop embroidering those slippers for
Harry's Christmas and make him pres
ent of something far better-the con-
sciousness that his life-selection has not
been a mistake"
A week afterward, Juliana Joyce
shrilly hailed the tinware peddler who
travelled from town to town along that
remote locality, and who had just come
from Callikoon Center.
"Hay, Dick Peppercornl" said she.
s'How do the shirt hands like the fac

'I amt in no position to jedge," an.

~ >--@>ss -N the old rcd farm
house reared its picturesque chimney
stacks and slOping, cedar shingled rooi
against the hillside, as il it were cspeci-
ally meant for an artists delectatiOn.
Above the cluster Of blossoming fish
geraniums in the window, one could just
see a round, dimpled face, looking out
toward the sunset.
Old Mrs. Carson, driving by on her
cay from the mill caught a glimpse OF
it, and called to Old Trumpet to
Whoa
"Poor thing" said Mrs Carson, 81
s'pose she's dreadfully lonesome. I
guess I'll just stop and change the time
o. day with her."
Mrs Harry Hadion herself answered
the knock, and though she put her
bravest face on it, Widow Carson could
see that she had been crying.
"Folks gone, eh!' said Mrs Carson.
"Yes, said the young wife.
"S'pose you'd ha' like to ha' gone,
tool" said Mrs. Carson.
"Harry said we couldn't afford it,"
answered Mrs. Harry, in low voice.
"He was obliged to 80 to take care of
the old folks; but should have been
only a useless expense. OF course, she
added, with sudden upspriuging of
the bitterness Of her inmost soul, II
know | AN only useless expense all the
time. They told NE so when they went
away"
"Told you so!"
Mis-. Carson looked over the top of
her spectacles in amazement.
sob, not in so many words" said
Mrs. Harry, winkiDg her eyes very hard
to get lid of certain moisture on the
lashes. They are too considerate and
polite for that. But their actions speak
louder than words. never am trusted
to do anything. No-'Lily is too In
experienced Lily don't understand
these things Lily mustn't strain her
back, nor spoil her hands Nothing is
intrusted to my charge, and here l am
left all alone until Harry gets back from
the Georgia Hot Springs, with nothing
to do but to reflect on my own incapsci-
ties"
And Mrs. Harry got up and paced to
and fro, like a very pretty duodecimO
edition of a raging lion.
"Ain't Julians Joyce comm to run
the shirt factoryl" inquired Mrs. Car
sor.
~ suppose so. There's another
trouble. 1 should like to have gone into
the shirt factory like the other women
around here, and earned little pocket
money for myself. But Harry said it
was too hard work for me. l knew
Harry's mother wanted him to marry
Juliana. Juliana is so capable and eff
cieut, she says, and then she looks at me
and sighs like blast furnace. 1 don't
ike Juliana Joyce, but suppose l shall
have to put up with her company this
WINTER
"JuIiana amt attractive" shrewdly
remarked Mrs. Carson, 'but she's
proper, smart and stirrin'. 'Tain't every
one can manage shirt factory with
forty-horse water-power aud eight-and-
twenty hands. Expect her tonight,

eyes" said Mrs. Harry, signing.
Mrs. Carson went her way. Mrs.
Harry sat with her chin in her hands,
her blue eyes gazing wistfully out over
the snow covered landscape. She was
very, very unhappy-yet her marriage
with Harry Haddon had been a genuine
love-masch. Her reverie was interrupted
by the appearance of tls postmaster :
bskas sea with lettag.

"From r1s-t =" she cried, joyously.

"From rsz1y," she cried, joyously.
A long, loving letter it was, yet al uu-
satisfactory one.
''You will have to spend your first married
Christmas without me, my Lily" wrote the
young husband. MY father is 50 much
worse that it seems quite impracticable to
leave him. and my mother declares shs will
moi stay alone in this foreign country as
she calls it, without me. The doctor thinks
that a couple OF months in Georgia will be
of inestimabie benefit to both Of them. But
my heart aches when l think OF you alone
there. You hal better go to your sister,
Mrs. Conynham, until l return. Life at
Calhkoon will be by far too rough for you"
Mrs. Harry had hardly persued these
words when there came loud knocking
at the door. 1t was Juliana Joyce,
wrapped in furs like an Esquimau.
"Is 1t you1" cried Mrs. Harry, swal-
lowing down her grief until more
convenient season. "Come in. Your
