Four metals are combined to make
what Is known as type metal-lead, tin,
copper and anthony. The four are
mixed according to n secret formula
the lead being the largest ingredient
and placed in the crucible. Antimony,
which is a most expensive metal, is
used because 1t gives hardness to the
type-compoSition and because it has
the unusual quality of expanding in
cooling, thus preventing the type when
cast from failing away" from the
mold and produces sharpness Of the
face and body Of the type.
The first step in type-making is the
cutting Of the letters desired on the
ends Of pieces of hard, fine steel This
Is very difficult work and the men who
do 1t receive high wages. Each letter
in font must be exactly the same
height and the width must be cut ac-
cording to rule. A separate one of these
dies or punches is required for each
character in every font of type, and the
making Of them is the most expensive
part of the business. Some of them
cost as high as s.. When set of
punches" is complete it goes to the
matrix department.. Here little rec
tangular pieces of pure copper known
as ''strikes" have been prepared. For
minion or long primer type they are
about two inches long by half an inch
broad. At exactly the proper point
near the top of each the steel die Is
driven in, and then the strike" or en-
bryO matrix goes to the filter, who rubs
and polishes it down on big pieces OF
sandstone until 1t is everywhere square
and perfect and the depth of the letter
Is exactly the same as the rest Of the
font matrices.
Next the mold is made. This work re-
quires the most skilled mechanics in
steel. The pieces are all cut out by
lathes, planers and shapers and ground
down to just the right size and then
polished Oh emery laps. There are
two main parts to the mold and they
may be 50 adjusted as to make room
for casting the bodies of letters Of any
width from Il 3-m size to an | size. A
great deal depends upon the accuracy
of these molds. The matrx is now

Swordlsmanship Against u Tiger.

Sir James Outram, known as the Bay
ard OF India. was a mighty hunter
and an accomplished swordsman. He
once performed the hazardous feat OF
killing Il tiger with his sword, and from
the back of his horse. General Nichol-
son performed a similar feat.
He rode round and round the tigc:. ut
a gallop. gradually narrowing the cir
Gle, until at last he was near enough
to deliver his blow. He had only the
one blow. and If he failed to kill the
tiger, he himself would have been
slain.
The explanation of the feat is that
the tiger does not spring upon the horse
man during the circling process, be-
cause he Is watching his opportunity
AS the circle draws closer and closer
upon him, he becomes bewiliered ny

1t must not be supposed that this attitude
Of Cascabels was mere posing. He was
perfectly honest. And now that he was
forced to locate on British ground, even
though the stay might be temporary, he
was greatly exasperatcd. All his good
humor had disappeared. He became mo-

Ned Harley had never seen his pros

he instinctively stepped between him and

the chin, and presented tiny ear for him
to stretch. He did pull it, but only play.

Word has been received at Bara-

James Rafferty, and large monkey,

ing place in one of Ringing Bros
tents when the show was at Indepen-
dence, Kas., last week. The unfortun-
ate man is now at the point of death
in a hospital. 1t appears that Rafferty,
who is the boss animal trainer for
Ringling Bros. went into acage to take
out sick monkey and just as he was
getting out of the door, big monkey
sprang onto his head and shoulders.
He at once realized his danger and
started to run to the elephants, know
ing that they would frighten the
animals away. Unfortunately he fell
and then began the struggle of life. 1t
was just at supper time and Rafferty,
was alone in the tent. The monkey
GRABBED him by the wrist cutting off the
sinews, also tore huge piece out of
his arm and tore almost the entire
calf off one leg. At last one of the at
PENDANTS came in and dubbed off the
maddened animal. The victim was
taken to hospital, but little hopes
are entertained for his recovery.

Young man, there is one thing you
cannot do. You cannot make a sue
cess in life unless you work. Better
men than you have tried aud failed.
You cannot loaf around street corners,
smoke cigars, tell foul stories, drink
whisky and sponge on some one else
without making failure in life. You
must learn a trade or get into some
honest business. If you don't you will
become chronic loater despised by all.
There is 40 place in the world for
loafers. The ripe fruit is at the top of
the tree, and you must climb if you
get it. Some smart man will pluck it
away from you. Do something, no
matter how small; it will be starter.
Help yourself and others will help you.
There is no royal gate to success; will,
grit and endurance, these are the
qualities. Wake up and see what
you can do.
The mechanic or laborer who lives
in town and who is dependent on the
people of that community for employ
ment, who spends his money in an
other city, has no right to complain if
his neighbor refuses to employ him,
but instead imports a workman from
some other locality to build his house,
lay his wall or paint his barn, as the
case may be. The merchant or shop
keeper who ignores his townsman in
different line of business and goes from
home to buy articles in their lire can
not expect any more consideration
from them when they want something
in his line. 1t is the duty of every
person of a community to reciprocate
as far as possible the many benefits
which the community has conferred
upon him and those who fail in this re-
gard are endowed with that public
spirit which should be possessed by
every right kind of citizen.
