We are now ready for the hooks OF
pins, which are made as follows:
Prepare a strip of wood 16 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 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

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 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 Ito pre-
vent splitting), and with a one-quarter
inch auger bit bore 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 auSer bit and
finish boring the hole from the oppo-
site side. This will prevent the bit
from splintering the gauge stem, as il

surfaces.
An example of beveling is given in
the hat hook strip, Fig. so. On near
ly all work the bevel may be made

It is sometimes necessary to use a
cnisel to make the bevel, as when the
bevel 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
fibers, as at B, but with the grain,
and the chisel given side or lateral
motion, as shown by the dotted lines
at C, which will always give clean,
smooth cut.

the piece it must be held SO that the

KY at E, and the plane, like the
chisel, must be given sidewise and
not forward stroke. This will pre-
vent splintering at the last or out
corner of the cut.
Before returning to the hat hook
strip it will be necessary to give some
instructions in portising and in the
use of the mortise chisel shown at A
in Fig. 81. These chisels are thicker
and stronger than the firmer chisels,
and are made in all sizes. The size
used must always be of the exact
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1905-07-21

width of the required mortise, this in
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.
So. 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

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.
If the wood is pine, first use No. /,
afterward finishing with No. sand
paper. Should oak or other hard wood
be used, No. 11s first, then No. will
be needed.

that it brought tears to my eyes. The
pain at times was so intense that was
compelled to give up my household

greater depth as at c, 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 d.
Reverse the front of the chisel, and
in the same way cut the opposite end
OF the mortise until completed, as
shown at E. Do not try to sink the
mortise 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.

It's a matter of general interest just

food and mucn time spent indoors,
Spring comes with its sunshine, its fresh
vegetables and all else inyigorating, but
the children are in no condition to re-

Many parents call in the family physi-
clan. Many other parents take aGvan-
tage of what the physician told them
when he was first called in consultation.
All good family physicians say: Give
the children Castoria." Healthy parents
know this remedy of old, for they took
it themselves as children. 1t was more
than thirty years ago that Castoria made
a place for itself in the household. II
bore the signature of Charles II. Eletch-
er then, as it does to-day. The sigma.
ture is its guarantee, which is accepted
in thousands of homes where there are
children.

these much-read-about families. Here is

Charles H. Fletcher has received hun,
dreds of letters from prominent physi
clans who have the same esteem for Cas-
toria that DR.. Mccain has. Not only
do these physicians say they use Castoria
in their own families, but they prescribe
it for their clients. First of all it is a
vegetable preparation which assimilates
the food and regulates the stomach and
bowels. After eating comes sleeping, and
Castoria looks out for that. too. 1t al.

is to expose danger and record the
means for advancing health. The day
for poisoning innocent children through
greed or ignorance ought to end: To our
knowledge Castoria is a remedy which
