greater depth as at G. and continue
cutting down and increasing the depth
at each successive cut until the full
depth of the mortise is gained.
Pry out the shavings and continue
cutting down the end of the opening
TO the full depth each time, until the
end of the mortise is reached as at ID.
Reverse the front of the chisel, and
in the same way cut the opposite end
of the mortise until completed, as
shown at f. Do not try TO sink the
mortise a little at time, but at every
cut, after a full depth opening has
been made, drive the chisel TO the bot
tom of the mortise. If the shavings
are not removed from time to time,
the incomplete mortise will resemble
the enlarged view shown at F. In no
case should a chisel be used whose
edge will not reach from line to line
the full width of the mortise, as any
pairing or trimming of the sides Of the
mortise should be avoided, as that will
make the width below the surface I'M
even and irregular. Such trimming
will be entirely unnecessary If the
operator carefully follows directions
already given.
When the mortise is TO be cut
through and through. as is often the
case, the cross lines shown at A, Fig.
SO. are continued, using the try-square.
across the edge of the piece and
around on the opposite side, and the
mortise gauge again used on the sec
ond side, as on the first. The mortise
is then made one-half way through
from each side.

OF the hat rack strip with all sizes
and distances marked. The mortises
will be fve-sixteenths inch wide, and
must be made through and through in
the way directed above.
After mortising it is next marked for
beveling, as shown by the dotted lines
one-quarter inch in each direction.
This marking must not be done with
the spur of the gauge, which would
cut into and deface the work, but in
stead a lead pencil is used in the fol-
lowing way:
Remove the gauge head from the
stem and tightly clamp the back end
Of the stem in the bench wise (to pre-
vent splitting), and with one quarter
inch auger bit bore a hole through the
stem near it's end.
Bore with care, and as soon as the
screw point Of the bit begins to come
through, remove the auger bit and
finish boring the hole from the oppo-
site side. This will prevent the bit
from splintering the gauge stem, as it

and with a wooden mallet drive the

would if forced through and through
from the first side.
The gauge head may now be re-
placed on the stem, and a small piece
of lead pencil fitted into the hole thus
made. The gauge head can be adj
justed to any required distance from
the pencil point, and used in the same
way as with the spur point. This ar
rangement is illustrated in Fig. SO.
Always plane the bevel on the ends
of the strip first, which will enable
any splintering at the corners to be
removed when beveling the sides,
testing with the bevel set to an angle
Of 40 degrees.
We are now ready for the hooks or
pins, which are made as follows:
Prepare a strip Of wood 10 inches
long, seven-eighths of an inch wide
and three-quarters of an inch in thick
ness.
After planning the strips to these
dimensions, cut off three pieces, each
four and three-quarters inches long,
and mark them off as shown at A, in
Fig. Sc. This marking must be on the
two opposite sides Of each piece. Saw
down the shoulders at A and at B

c and d, while the term "beveled
edge" always indicates a fiat surface
made at any angle to the two original
surfaces.
An example of beveling is given in
the hat hook strip, Fig. so. On near
ly all work the bevel may be made
with plane and tested with the bevel
Gig. 800 set to the desired angle.
1t is sometimes necessary to use a
chisel to make the bevel, as when the
b&el is stopped off-that is. not con-
tinued through the entire length of the
piece.
In all such cases the chisel must not
be held to cut across the fibers, as at
A, Fig 81, or to cut up against the
fbers, as at B, but with the grain
and the chisel given a side or lateral
motion, as shown by the dotted lines
at c, which will always give a clean
smooth cut.
When a plane is used on the end of
the piece it must be held so that the

using the bevel Gig 39) set TO that
angle. The work of beveling must be
done by first stopping the bevels off
square, as shown at A. in Fig. 81
Then, after having finished the bevel
true and smooth, the angles are care
fully pared off. as indicated on one
of the corners at c.
We commend this form of hat hook
strip to the beginner as being an ex.
cellent exercise for chisel practice.
Both should first be made of pine
for practice-after which, if desired,
they may be made of quartered oak
or some other of the finer grained
woods Before inserting the pins both
strip and pins should be sandpapered
smooth.

afterward finishing with No. sand

views of the finished pin at ID, in Fig.

two views of slightly different form
of head for the pin, which may be
used in place of the first described.

the case of the hat hook strip being
five-sixteenths inch.
When preparing for the mortise,
first mark out the length OF the NOR
tise, as shown by the cross lines for
three mortises on the piece A, Fig.
b3. The mortise gauge, shown at B, in
Fig. 81, has two spurs. whose distance
apart is regulated by the screw in the
end of the gauge stem, and is used to
mark the two parallel lines showing
the width of the mortise, which in all
cases must be the exact width of the
mortise chisel used. When mortising
the position of the operator must al
ways be at the end-not at the side

a contemplativein with some
power of observation, was asking about
weathercocks. says Success Magazine.
why weathercocks?" he asked;
most vanes are in the form of arrows
Sometimes they are hands that point
with the index finger in the direction
toward which the wind is blowing; a
running horse is quite popular as a
vane; fish. trumpets, locomotives. and
many other forms are used. but | sell

that can with any propriety be called
weathercocks.
| referred the matter by note to our
mutual friend, DR.. Detail, and received
the following reply:
The ninth century was time of ex-
IRENE ignorance among all countries
which now lead in civilization. An au.
thentic account of the controversies. po-
litical, social and religious, that then
occupied Europe would make a Curl
Gus and interesting list of reading. In
England the question of how persons
who devoted their lives to religion
should wear their hair, and at what
particular Sunday they should celebrate
Easter, became so bitter that the con.
version of that part of the Saxon
people who still remained pagans fell
into neglect, and even those that had
been won from idolatry showed signs
of apostatizing.
AT this time, by papal order, it was
enacted that the figure of a cock should
be set upon churches, in order to put
the people in mind of Peters denial of
our Saviour and of his unfeigned repent
ance, thus at once admonishing those
who would renounce the Saviour and
Offering forgiveness to the penitent
apostle"

This is the age of culture physical

less of a fad in many respects, it has
done a great deal of good in many walks
of life TO which 1t might not have been

One of these is the horse, Every train

horse in condition in bad weather. or in
getting him into anything approaching

ground well into April, as was the case
last year. When Morris Park opened
for racing in the first week In May,
there was scarcely a steeplechase horse

boast of two clear weeks of preparation
and the consequence was that many Of
the events were almost farcicaI.
The trainer asked and with reason,
What was he to do? The ground was
