In some diplomatic quarters 1t is be-

MANNERS MADE OF RAwniDE
Mallets and Mauls Also Made of the
Same Material


C'rom the Chicago Inter Ocean)
THE common idea of a hammer no
doubt" said dealer in tools, would
be that it was an implement made to
or steel. The pounding part OF that
pound with, and having a head of iron
would certainly be all right, but not all
hammer heads are made of metal:
there are some hammers, in fact, with
the head made of raw hide.
Where the head would be on an or
binary hammer. set at right angles
across the end of the handle, short
section of iron pipe. The rawhide that
forms the hammer head is first cut in
to an oblong strip. which is then be-
ginning at one end, Snugly rolled up.
The roll thus formed is put through
an iron pipe, being made long enough
SO that it will project an inch or more
at either end. The ends of the solid
rawhide are trimmed off fiat and true,
like the face of any hammer. making
this two-faced hammer.
The rawhide hammer is used for
various purposes largely in place of a
mallet: for instance, for pounding on
punches and on chisel handles It is
used where pounding is TO be done on
polished metal surfaces: it serves the
purpose without scratching the metal
Rawhide hammers are made in various
sizes.
Then there is n rawhide implement
that is called a mailet in which the
head is formed in the same manner as
the rawhide hammer head. but Joined
to the handle direct. without being
held there in q holder. The rawhide
mallet Is also made in various sizes: It
is smaller and lighter tool than the
hammer
Another rawhide pounding tool is
the rawhide maui, heavier than the
hammer, and made in various sizes.
The head of the rawhide maui is made
of disks of rawhide laid together to a
sufficient thickness and held together
by iron caps top and bottom, through
which,as of course through the rawhide
as well, the maui handle passes. The
bfuck frfcfc-
into the usual maui form. Built up as
1t is of compacted layers placed cross
wise of the handle, the striking sur
face of the maui, as Is the case with
the hammer and the mallet in the
manner in which they are made. pre-
sents the rawhide in n mass edgewise
The rawhide maui is used, for example
by artificial flower makers, pounding
all day long on dies and punches cut
ting out flowers and leaves.
These rawhide hammers and NAL
lets and mauls cost about three times
as much as corresponding wooden mail
lets would cost-they last about ten
times as long"
