sharpens a knife forty-eight inches long. It used to oust a dollar when w. - ?? ? du

little saving, don't you think?"
" Over there is the largo electric motor, and beyond is tho gas engine, wlueh we
i keep as a ' reserve force.' "
"Suppose we take the elevator, now, to the top floor."
" No. the large motor runs the elevator, too.''
" How many employees? About sixty, all told."
ii Very few people havo an idea as to the extent of our establishment until they
Igo through it ; then they invariably express astonishment."
" Ye>, it take- lots of printing to keep them busy constantly. Sometimes we
wonder ourselves where it all comes from."
"No.no! The people realize that the newspaper is not the only method of
advertising. For certain purposes, the circular is incomparably superior."
"The two mediums are necessary each to the other. They do not conflict."
ft "Wo print a great many Circulars, Price-Lists, and the like. They have toll'
gotten out very quickly sonieiimes.'1
" Letter Circular? Ten thousand in two hours, if accessary."
" Oh, of course. A reasonable amount of reading-matter.''
"That is a Stamping Machine; for stamping in gold or silver on the covers ?>.'
Il'ioks, stumping Ribbon Budges, etc."
} "Yes, we have had it several years."
" Pure gold."
" Hilling Machines. This one i-- the kind in ordinary use. Wo brng on the
I other one: it takes u sheet llfty inches wide. We can rule a job on it that wo hud
t" >end t? Ho.ton once ; couldn't get it ruled in Philadelphia."
"just llnislicd a Puy-2b II Sheet 10x48. Think of a sheet -I* inches wide."
" Yes, it bad a printed beading. A largo machine in oi <? department calls f"t
' large.machines in other department*, in tin, instance, the large press would have
been of no use without the large ruling machine."
"This is a Bound-Cornering Machine; this a Sewing Machine that will stitch
through half an inch of paper, and make a stitch tlireo-qiir.riois of an inch long, if
?> wi-h it-o; this a Punching Machine, and this an Eye letting Machine, lor eyelet
like you see in Calendars, Card Price-Lists, etc."
"Folding Maebino ?folds eigh*., twelve, sixteen, twenty-four, or thirty-two
pages ; almost any size page."
"Then, here's a Wire Stitching Machine, a double-header?stitches on I wo

tin' I.k. and clinches ii ?120 stii) les on each side a minute: faster than an operator
can handle the work. Then the covers are pa-ted <>r glued on afterward.
"Oh, yes, we hind all kinds of magazines."
" You can see the progress of a Ledger, .Journal, or Cash Hook being mud. to
order here. First ruled, then the heading printed, then the .-beets ins|iccied, folded,
sewed, and now the Leather Dinding be'ing put on. Lots of people think we buy
tile covers already made, but wo do it all oiir-elve.'."
" Didn't know we had an Kllgruvillg Department? "
"Any and every kind, from the design lor a Catalogue Cover, or u Letter'
Heading, to cutting a wood typo."
'? Not much to bo seen in that room. The "collating " or "gathering".' of Hie
"forms" or "signatures" of a pamphlet or book is dune there. The forms are
arranged in sequence on the tables and giils wall; around the tables and gather on.'
em h form until the complete 1.k is gathered. Thin it i- ready for the stitcher.
Sometimes a dozen girls uro walking around the tables, collating, at one time."

v.>u a Hindern Perforator, 0110 with live times llle Ca| ucitv of tIiis one; we'll see lliat
before we go down stairs. Surplus stock of envelopes, material lor binding, etc."
? "On this floor we do all the type-setting and proof-reading?we pay particular
attention to our proof-reading, and you have no idea of the care that a painstaking
proof-reader exercises. We recently had a University man to write us that our proof?
reading was equal or better than they had been getting in Philadelphia."
" Doesn't matter?we sometimes have German, Latin, Creek, and Hebrew.
Kttglislt, " ns she is spoke." or rather written, makes it interesting to a degree. Of
course, wo have all the Dictionaries at our lingers'ends: Webster, the Standard,
Century, Worcester."
" Yes, customers use diflVircnt Standards. We have just llnislicd a Catalogue for
a Sei.1 that uses Worcester, and, of course, we had to conform to Worcester ii. our
spelling throughout the Catalogue."
" Other reference books like the Kncyclnpedia Britnnniea, Applcton's, National,
various Atlases, Dictionaries of Foreign Language-, Algebraical Work-, tin- Poet?,
Novelists, i'hilosopliers, etc., must he at hand, also, Yon would hi- surprised a: the
familiar quotations that are misquoted. We verily and compare whenever there is
doubt. This is the duty of the proof-reader und hi- assistant."
"Hero arc hundreds of pages .'standing typo?price-lists, railroad tariff's, and
items that are changed slightly and printed frequently.",
14 Yes, enough capital in standing typo to equip a good-sized prii g office."
"These cabinets contain 'sorts,' or extra quantities of various li-f.rs, figures. <>r
signs that may bo needed any moment. Probably a ton that has neve; been used."
" For instance, a Price-List may he ordered, ami it will be full of unusual
measurements (1*28 raVtti X 10 j.''b -igns (10? 815' -IT"), reference marks (* t 4 * t. \\),
or may require a very large quantity of some particular figure. An ordinary font of
type contains only a limited number >>( such characters, so we prepare for these prob?
able demands as our judgment suggest*. We printed a job a few days ago that
required nearly three thousand 000) parenthesis ( ) marks. The number that
usually accompanies the quantity of type necessary to set up such .t job as u whole,
would be about twenty-live ; this shows the necessity for 'soils.' "
" We have in these eabine.s nearly ten thousand engravings o ?11 kinds, all
catalogued, numbered, and in their proper places. We can usual!) find any one
((desired in live minute*."
?'The Stereotyping nnd Rubber Stamp Departments?it's rather warm in there
Well, you can take a look ut that another lime."
" About 100?."
"Taking too much of my lime? No, this is my business. If you arc interested,
you will be telling some of your friends, and that's just wdiat we want."
" Down to the stock-room, next."
" Keeps one man busy till the time getting out stock for the presses, etc."
""Wait a moment, here's the Railroad Ticket Printing Machine. Prints and
numbers them at one operation. Operators aro held responsible for correct count, etc.
Of Course, every ticket is checked, double cheeked, before it comes out of the 'cage.' "
"Don't average one error a year."
?'There's another machine?for printing long runs on envelopes?that's as fast as
tho Ticket Machine."
" Nearly ton thousand an hour."
" Automatically, of course."
" Here's the stock-room."
" A great many of our pipers are made to order : our Stone Bond and Crystal
Spring Brands?you've noticed the water-marks? "
" Five, or ten tons at one lime is not an unusual order for this kind_to your lefl ''
" Why, the presses in the adjoining room alone will use up two or three tons in
n day, sometimes."
" No, we make no effort to 'job' paper. Just for our own needs."
" Here's where, we keep our record of each order?if you instruct us to duplicate
your hist order lor Letter Heads or a Blank Book, we get" the date from our Ledger,
then tho number of the job. This number indicates an envelope containing your
original copy of the. job, the proof, the '?(). K." sheet, and a completed copy. The
record will also show who received the order, whether by letter, phone, or personally,
the date stock was gotten out, tho quantity, then the names of the various oper
jjitors in the several departments who put 'time' on the job, the machines on which
it was run, the date it went to the delivery or shipping clerk, the amount of the
charge, the cost, and finally, tho receipt from the customer showing that it was
received in good order."
"Detail? yes,infinite; but each job has its peculiarities that make it d?Tercnt
from its companion that is being handled at the same time, requiring the exercise of
different degrees of knowledge, experience, or expertness?so there is no danger of
monotony."
"No. no! we have orders from all over Virginia, AVest Virginia, North Carolina.
Tennessee, etc., and at this moment we are tilling an order for ten thousand Cata?
logues for a customer in Washington, and another order for about ten thousand
Circulars for a customer in New York. Both orders received under competitive bids."
" Klectric Bells, Speaking Tubes, and Dummy Elevators to each department,
and Individual 1'clephone to the Foreman, savo many u step and a great deul of
tune and each moment counts on u 'rush' job."
" Yes, its interesting to us, as often as we go through, and a double pleasure
when our friends enjoy it." ( *

WINTER HINTS.
Tho Benson's Rklrts ? White Woolen Goods
Trimmed With Lace.
Buttons uro to figure largely among
winter trimmings and uro to bo employed
In nil sizes and styles, IJuttotis covorod
with cloth mid velvet or made of pnsso
monterie, enamel, pearl, Ivory, gold, sil?
ver and cut steel will all bo used, tho sort
chosen being decided by tho material of
the gown to bo adorned und the stylo in
which It Is conceived. On cloth they will
bo particularly used, with many now ef?
fects. Skirts open at ono or both sides
Will be held together by buttonsand cords,
tho space botwoon being Idled by Qat pan?
els either plain or covered with embroid?
ery or applications. Sometimes the panels
are of plaited silk, but this is in gowns of
comparatively light weight.
Skirts plaited or gathered at tlio top
should bo avoided except by slender wom?
en unless tho skirt is made of very thin
goods. In tho heavy materials for lull
and winter wear such fullness is too cum?
brous for n robust figure.
The illustration given shows n' costume
of silver gray cloth. The skirt is trimmed
around tho foot with three clusters of nar?
row bunds of silver galloon. The close
bodice, which has tl slight basque, is em?
broidered with steel and bordorot! with
steel galloon. It opens over n plaited vest
of pink mousscllno.do solo, having a corse- j
lot of black satin. The close sleeves have
two small pull's ut tho lop und are border?
ed with steel at tho wrists, the steel em?
broidered epaulets being edged ill the same
way. The nook and wrist frills uro of pulu
pink mousselinu do soio.

SCHOOL COSTUMES.
Drisht Plaids For Children?Colored Stock?
ings to lie Worn.
The question of school dresses Is ono that
is over ripe for discussion. School gowns
see such hard service and are worn so con?
stantly that they aru by no means joys tor
over, even when they are things of beauty
in the beginning. It is never worth while
to buy Very ozpenslro or delicate goods for
them, because if they are not worn out
they are outgrown In a very short time. It
is of course necessary that they should bo
neat, well made and becoming, but simple
materials, trimmings and styles are best
on every account.
Tho most, suitable plaoc for plaids is on
children, ami bright plaids, whether of the
GRAY CLOTH (JOWN.
kind in which red predominates or of blue
and green, make very pretty little gowns,
especially when trimmed with narrow
black velvet or ribbon In bands or with
black braid. Cashmerennd Henrietta oloth
are also suitable for school wear, and the
heavy wool crepons, In which thero is no
silk Sorge Is perhaps tho most serviceable
of any goods for the purpose, as it endures
sorts of hard usage without being
s, til 1ml. As far as hats are concerned, felt
trimmed with ribbon is always appropri?
ate. Feathers and flowers on school hats
uro out of plnco and soon go to destruction.
Dhick stockings have for many yenrson
joyed universal popularity and have boon
worn by rich and poor nliko. Now an at?
tempt is being math- to introduce white
nnd colored ones again, but it has not as
yet proved successful in America. In
Franco there Is a decided liking for fancy
hosiery, and white stockings with black
and colored tltds, ami especially plait) stock?
ings, are great favorites.
Today's sketch shows a costumoof poarl
gray cloth. Tho skirt opens at each side
of the tabllor over a panel of white oloth,
which is framed by bias bands of black
velvet and crossed by black cords fastened
by small silver buttons. Tho close bodice
Is trimmed with bias bands of black velvet
and is open over a wide plastron of white
oloth trimmed with black cords and silver
buttons The collar of white cloth is
trimmed in the same way. The hat of
bLit<; filt is ornamented with pearl gray

MOCKING THE WOLF.
IIott tho Unite Can tie Lured on by Imi?
tating tbe Howl of Its .Mate.
Low Wlliunr, who lives almost any where
In tho statu of Washington, is a westerner
of tho old type. Ho tells in Forest and
Stream about fooling wolves by imitating
their erl?s.
"Ono Sunday morning," he writes,
"while we were mining on tho Clcarvvatcr.
along nbout tint 1st of May, I tool; my re?
volver and went over to tho cabin of my
partners, ami proposed that wo go to tho
bills and kill some grouse. While going
up tbe bill Wo saw a very big wolf's fresh
trank in the trail wo were climbing. The
trail forked, one blanching up the river,
the other turning back into the hills. Wo
stopped, wondering what a wolf could be
dolftg in that part of the country at that
time of tho year. Suddenly tho beast be?
gan to bowl, and shivers crawled along
my back. They always do when I bear a
wolf howl. When tho sound died away, I
mocked it, and was answered with quick
vigor. Again I answered it. 1 told the
boys if wo wiodd wait the beast Would
come, but they laughed at mo and we wei
on after grouse. The wolf howled Illiol, I
our left after we got to bunting ami wi
plainly looking for its mate. We went to
a small mound, sat down and howled in a
low voice, because I feared it would notice
tho deception. It diil not answer, but
pretty quick came trotting through the
small brush.
"As it ran alongon a fallen, rot ton pine
tree I shot it with my revolver, and ovt
it went. We ran up ami found it badly
wounded, and, wolfliko, sulking. Its skin
mado a protty good rug.
"Awhile after that I was going from
Mount Oregon ono morning on a cnyuso
when a big wolf came Into the trail ami
kept on before me. turning to the left aft?
er awhile where I had to go to the right.
I went on a way, got off my animal and
howled to see what would happen. All
answer came back quick and long, ami.
though I knew 1 was porfeotly safe, I felt
lonesome wiih tho dread a wolf's howl
gives me. I started on after :t bit, and on
reaching the divido looked back, ami there
was tho wolf on my trail. I kept on till I
came to a thicket, howling once in awhile
in it way that made the wolf follow,
though suspiciously. When I was hall'
through the brush, I dismounted ami
crawled back. When tho wolf came to the
edge of the brush. I pulled on him with
my revolver, and over bo went, shot
through tho heart."
At the >>e:tsliore.
"How did your flowers get so badly
crushed?"
Tho girl in wbitn looked startled as
tho girl in light blue put tIiis question
to her. Then she recovered her self pos?
session, put her linger to her lips as a
signal of oantioil and returned in a lull;'
whisper:
"If 1 tell you, will you promise not
