SUPPLIES FOR TYPEWRlTERs.

Mysteries of the Processes for Making Ink
Ribbons and Manifolding Papers.
The manufacture of typewriting supplies
is a first class mystery. 1t would seem
that the making of such articles as ink
ribbons, carbon paper and manifold paper
is hedged around with secrets The pro-
prietary value of the various brands on the
market consists in the private knowledge
of processes which are explained to nobody.
Typewriter ribbons of the best sort are
made out of the finest cotton ribbon, which
Is bought in large rolls. They vary in
width from five-sixteenths of an inch to an
inch and a half. Some ribbonsare cut out
of cotton cloth, but this is an inferior
method. The ribbon is soaked in liquid
ink, being subsequently rubbed very
thoroughly in order to distribute the ink
through all the fibres. Finally it is sub
jected to process of polishing, which
renders it possible to handle the ribbon
without much smut.
The most important point is the compo-
sition of the inS, the ingredients of which
are kept secret. It is mixed with oil and
glycerine to keep it from getting dry. Two
kinds of inks are used for the ribbons.
That employed for ordinary ribbons con-
tains such insoluble pigments as logwood
or prussian blue or lampblack. But the
ink for copying ribbons must be composed
with soluble colors, usually aniline dyes.
After being soaked, rubbed and polished
the ribbon is cut into lengths Of from five
to eighteen yards, according to the ma
n IN yph baN int al m ha
used. Lastly each ribbon is wrapped in
silver paper or tin foil and put into paste
board box. However, the newest thing is
to sell each ribbon wound on little reel
inside of a tin box. Durability is the quail
ity chiefly demanded in typewriter rib
bons. The process of applying the ink re-
quires great skill. If there is too much it
will smut.
Carbon paper, for manifolding on the
typewriter is SO difficult to make that it is
exceptional to find any that is first rate. 1t
is manufactured simply by combining
lampblack and undrying oils with suitable
paper. How to accomplish this success
fully is problem on which vast amount
of labor and money have been expended.
Manifold tissue paper, such as the press
associations and syndicate correspondents
use for sending out their news and letters,
as many as sixteen good copies being
struck off at single touch of the type key,
is made from the best cotton and MANILA
stock. Animal oil is distributed over the
paper by machinery specially made for the
purpose. But as to what kind of animal
the oil is obtained from and how the ma
chine works nobody outside of the business
knows.-Washington Star.

Tennyson,s Vanity.

Tennyson did not object to homage. Any
form of it that was sincere gave him real
pleasure, but he decidedly objected to be
ing stared at. He saw no reason why
strangers should wish to come or should
be permitted to come trooping over his
grounds, peering into his windows or in
tercepting him in his daily walks. But II
they chose to take off their hats as they
passed him on the road, that was another
matter.
Sir Edwin Arnold says that Tennyson
"had vanity-a noble vanity-a proud
pleasure in the very notoriety which
brought strangers peoping and stealing
about his gates to get sight of him, al
belt you saw Private Road painted on the
first rod of his domain and Private
Grounds inscribed upon the first boundary
fence. He did not like the country people
to pass him on the road without recogniz-
ing him, and now and then, when visitor
from afar came with genuine alteration,
he could and would be immensely gracious
and generous. Cor. Boston Herald.

Skinned Himself and Ate It.

My uncle and sister and I were out in the garden one day watching a lit tie toad, and my uncle took twig and very gently scratched first one side of the toad and then the other. The toad evidently enjoyed it, for he would roll slowly from side to side, says correspondent in the Philadel- phia Press, and blink very expressively. I was so interested that when they went in took the twig and did as my uncle had done. If, thought I, if he rolls from side to side, as I touch him, what would he do if I ran the twig down his back? did so, and what do you think happened? His skin, which was thin and dirty, parted in neat little seam, showing bright new coat below, and then my quiet little toad showed his knowledge, for he gently and carefully pulled off his outer skin, taking it off the body and legs first, and then blinking it over his eyes, till where had it gone? He had rolled it in ball and swallowed it.

Currying the Cow Every Day.

Some people seem to think that they do quite enough for their cows if they give them food and shelter; but be- sides they require to be kept very cleanly, though seldom indulged in that luxury. The COW should be cur- ried daily. like the horse; its hide should be freed from all impurities and relieved from everything that causes uneasiness. When you see a COW rubbing itself against a post you may depend on it that the animal is i'll kept and requires a good scrub ping Irritation of the skin from i'm purities also causes them to lick them selves, habit which is injurious, for the hairs taken into the stomach form a compact, round mass, which may de- stroy the animal. If well curried any danger from this catastrophe is avoided, the health is generally improved, and this improves the quality of the milk, besides increasing the quantity Farmers Voice.
