its place turn the plane up and look
down over the face from the front end
of the plane and the exact position of
the cutting edge will be seen.
Should one corner of the cutting
edge project more than the other, ad-
just by swinging the lever E under
the plane iron to the right or left, as
may be required, still continuing to
look down over the face of the plane
until the adjustment is correct. If the

enough to make the required shaving,

last but not of least Importance. all
plane irons must be ground and sharp

thickness of a thin shaving. This
rounding of the cutting edge is not
simply rounding off Of the two cor

should be the true arc of circle

seen. prevents the corners of the cut

SHE TALKED LIKE A MAN
Distinguishing Characteristic Of tho
Daughter Of Noted
Novelist.

Miss Florence Marryat, the novelist,
daughter of Capt. Marryat, had some
mannerisms of her own. The following
anecdote, says the Chicago Daily News,
is told by William Downey: "'Here's q
letter from Florence Marryat,' said Mr..
Tinsley (the publisher), to me one MORN
ing. She wants me to buy a new, three
volume novel from her. If I'm out of the
way when she calls, you can talk to her.
II asked how, I was to recognize her.
You'll recognize her easy enough said
Mr.. Tinsley. She is tall, striking
looking woman. and. she'll talk to you
just like man. A few days later a tall
lady called. fancied she might be Miss
Marryat. She looked round the Office.
and then, addressing me. she said: Is

''To this replied that Mr.. Tinsley was
not in. Could do anything for her? L

Marryat?' 1ventured. Yes. But stop!:

Marryat? never saw you before"

are very nearly the same for all: \ s..
To a better understanding of their
construction and Of their different
parts. we show in Fig. 20 plane with
one side removed, In which A is the
cutter or. plane iron, which is thin
blade Of cast steel Of equal thickness
throughout. and in new planes it Is al
ready ground and sharpened for I'M
mediate use. The cap iron is fastened
to the cutting iron by the adjusting
screw, as shown in Fig. 80. The Office
Of this cap, which is not sharp, is not
as is sometimes explained, for the pur-
pose OF stiffening or strengthening the
cutting iron, but is to serve as a chip
break, to prevent the cutting edge Of
the plane iron from tearing and break

surface Of the piece, whenever the
grain turns and twists or runs down
ward below the surface. .s. = ..s..5:
In such cases, and indeed for all
cross-grained woods, such as quartered
oak, quartered sycamore, mahogany or
other wood which Is hard to smooth,
this cap iron is screwed on with its
dull edge quite close to the cutting
edge" SO as to bend and break of the
flbers or shavings before the eplit gets
fairly started below the surface.

selected. :, :

For all who can afford the cost we
would recommend foot power scroll
saw, like or similar to that shown in

be used not only for cutting curves,
but also for saving out stock of any
kind, straight or curved, up to three
inches in thickness. 90 ~.
Planes.
Among the different tools of the
woodworker none fills more impor-
tant place than the plane. The iron
planes. one of which is illustrated in
Fig. %, are greatly to be preferred to
the o!d-style wooden plane Of former
days. These iron planes can be
bought in many sizes and at very mod
crate prices. They all work on the

young woman Napoleon referred to as
that young person to whom he (Je-
rome) had attached himself" Concern
emnized with no small ceremony, the
bishop OF Baltimore, afterwards arch
bishop and primate of the American
Catholic church, officiating, the mayor
OF Baltimore and other prominent citi-
zens present, Napoleon declared it
null, both in religious and legal point
of view. The spirited young woman
was subjected to every indignity, final
ly abandoned.
Napoleon. then first consul, spoke of
the "mesalliance" made by Jerome;
and perhaps to Europeans, accustomed
to associate rank with plain title, a
plain Miss might bespeak a rather
humble origin. An American, fully
conscious of classes in this country,
would smile at the term when used in
connection with Patterson of Balti-
more. Mr.. William Patterson was a
southerner of high position and great
wealth, an intimate friend of Washing
ton and Charles Carroll OF Carrollton.
Thomas Jefferson wrote thus of his
standing: MI Patterson is president
of the bank of Baltimore, and the rich
est man in Maryland, perhaps in the
United States, except Charles Carroll,
of Carrollton. He is a man of great
worth and responsibility.
When Jerome Bonaparte visited in
or 49, Ia
young man, he was the honored guest
at dinner and rout and ball. It was
at the home of Samuel Chase, Capt.
Bonaparte met Miss Patterson and was
fascinated by her beauty and spright-
1iness. I'd But when the young man
showed desire to make her his wife,
her father objected, friends warned
her, fearing the match would be dis
pleasing to Napoleon. The young girl
met the remonstrances with the dec
laration that she would rather be the
wife Of Jerome Bonaparte for an hour
than the wife of any other man for
life" 49,.
For kEief period they were happy,
in the northern cities visited while
on their wedding tour, Madam Bona
parte was feted and admired 4. But
shortly, ere the honeymoon was past,
came i'll news from across the water.
The first consul was in great fury:
Jerome's allowance was to be stopped
at once; he was ordered to return to
France by the first frigate, at the risk
OF being regarded a deserter; French
vessels were ordered to refuse passage
to the young person" and If. she
should ever enter France, without de-
lay would be returned to the United
States. 3Eg .-s9F7 - ~ -. @'*% 70
