I5entlinE Cardboard.

An English inventor-naine or loca-
tion we do not find given-is said to
have contrivcd Il tool capable of being
attached to amy machine or apparatus
having transvcrsing slide and fixed
table that will bend cardboard without
the need of a score cut, thus preserving
the full strength of the material at the
bend. The tool i'll question is formed of
metal or wood and is in two parts, one
having recess on one edge and the
other Il straight edge. having the upper
edge rounded off to fit into the recess
OH the edge of the first part, allowing
space between equal tothc thickness of
tho substance to be bent-thc length of
the straight edge to be made to tho
longest bend required. In using the
tool, the second mentioned part is made
fixture TO the table machine frame or
apparatus and the first part is attached
to the travcrsing portion. By placing
tho cardboard to be bent on the straight
edge, then sliding the second part over
and along the board under certain
amount of pressure, bend in tho card
will be produced. New York Sun.

AS she grew up she became very
beautiful aud had many admirers,
among whom was Henry Siddons, "A
young actor i'll her fathers company,
who had little difficulty in winning tho
girls heart. Mr.. and Mrs Eemble had
made up their minds that Sarah should
not marry i'll the profession, in consc-
quence of which they strenuously OPP
posed the marriage, and young Siddons,
III fit of retaliatory humor, composed
song detailing their opposition and
his trials, which brought about his
speedy dismissal from tho company.
Sarah left tho company, too. and hired
ont as lady's maid in Warwickshire for
two years.
During this time the lovers carried On
lively correspondence and finally,
gaining the reluctant consent Of the
kembles, We're married at Trinity
church, Coventry, i'll 1918, when Sarah
