A walk thro-iifli t.'.e priii tin;.,' -rooms of the ww't music .tih,ishirir house in Bos ton, tinder tne tn toi :i. ( of its courteous lorcinan, is full of interesting instruo tion. It. was into oiip of the many "lofts" in which the c-ia!.:s!.m-t ahntinda that a i.oston (,!,,:,( reporter was taken. One Hour was Rilml with a writable laco- work of linij; poles, placed horizontally, which were loaded out of sight with sheet music, hung upon tlinm to dry. I'he whole place had the air of washing lay at home, and the reporter involun tarily glanced around as if perchance ho inightgotagianeoof cold dinner lying about. "As fast as tlio sheets are printed we .King them hero over night," said the foreman, "anf1 then place, them between pasteboards and press tliem flat. Then tliey aro ready for market. Come up into the press-rooms." The press-rooms aro very unlike thnlr newspaper prototypes. Not a sound loud enough to interfere with conversation is heard in them. For shout music is printed all by hand. Two kinds of presses are used; the old stylo "piank" press and tho improved or "I" press. The latter consists of a sliding tablo several feet square, on which aro two raised blocks just tho size of a sheet of music, on which aro placed the plates from which the print ing is done. The plates having heen Inked and tho paper laid on them, tho printer gives a turn to an immense wheel, hi feet in diameter, tho sliding table slides under a largo roller covered with a belt and tho paper Is forced against tho plates, thus giving the Im pression; and another revolution of the .vlieol brings tho annaratus back to ita original position. Tho "plank" press Is ike tho other except that in using it lie plates are inked on a bench and odd on tho bloclis every time an impres sion is taken, while with tho "U" press :hn plates are not removed from the blocks until tho edition Is run oft. ".Now, hero is a man printing tills -tures," said the foreman. "We print ily ono sheet at a time, and a man can '.'.kofrum fifteen hundred to eighteen uiulred impressions a day. This late, which looks exactly like ilver, is composed of zinc, load .ml britannia, and Is made al most exclusively in New York. Evory publishing house manufactures Us own ink; it can't he bought. It is very par ticular slull and must be made just so, and it is a very delicato matter to make and tako cam of it. This title pago has been engraved by hand. The design is Sunken, von nee. Who., rrrn tl.r. plato is put on a hot block and beeswax is meiieu into tno design. That, too, Is a tiuklish matter; if wowipoitol! too Boon we spoil it, and if wo lot it get too hard it crumbles and won't hold tho ink. Once beeswaxed, a plato can bo used for printing tor years. "Engraving thu musio olates is a dif. fercnt process, however, from that usod in making tlie title page. The engraver has to have a separate tool for evory kimt ot note half, whole, quarter rests, etc. ilia outfit costs $1011. lie does nut carve into the plate as wood engravers do, lint stamps out each noto 'cpiirntoly with a hammer. You can imagine what nice work it is to adjust 1 n tools just right and how hard it is ei engrave a sheet of music." I'he reporter watched the process of printing and saw something: like this: Alter the plate had been fastened toils block on the press tho printer inks it v, itli a luiud roller, just as oilier print ers Ink their typo in taking proofs. He then wipes the plato carefully wnh a cloth; the ink sticks to the beeswax, which covers the design or tho notes, and the rest of the plate is com 'laratively clean. A second wiping with another rag leaves all but the design chillingly dean, the paper is laid on, and the great wheel, revolving, soon lakes the luipressii n and returns tho printed pages to the printer's hand. 'I'll" plato is then wiped again, roinked, 'ewiiied twice, and. in fact, underiroot the same process liciwoeu caeu nuj-.rt o.oll. "It Is a curious fact." continued the foreman, "thatalthough th, work Is all done by hand the printers never touch the paper. A piece of pasteboard la folded double and used as a holder and with that the printer handles all his sheets, and never lets his inky handB come in contact with them." :ijj "Isn't music printed from type some times'."' asked the reporter "Yes. When wo want to run oiT ft large edition of seme cheap stutT, books or something of that sort, we set tho music up in type, stereotype the pago and print from it, just as you newspaper fellows do. Hut the work isn't as hand some and, besides, there is some music written that can't be set up with type." AU music, plates after being used aro stored in lire-proof vaults and indexed for possible future use. Tho foreman states the curious fact that in tho great collection of which ho has charge thero are more piecesof music whose name bo gin with 8 than of any other letter, while tho M's are a close second.

I lately met some friends who had with them a little dog called "Vic" which had adopted the family of a cat in the house, and while in pos session would not let the mother come near her kittens, says a writer in tho London Spectator. The kittens were kept in a very tall basket, and "Vic" would take them one by one and then carry them into the garden and watch over them, carrying them back in the same way after a time, at other times lying contentedly with them in the basket. Of course, "Vie" had to be forcibly removed when the adopted family required their mother's atten tion for their sustenance. I also have met a friend who saw a hen hawk, which was in a cul'c. motbcriiur ., ,.,. starling. Three young. unticdied starlings were' given the hawk t.) eat. She at? two and then brooded ib..,.(i, and took the utmost care of it. l'lilum- pily the young starling died, nml from that moment the hawk would lunch no food, but died herself in a f,.w days. The same friend was on a mountain due dny when n sheep came up to him and unmistakably begged him t.i follow her, going just In front and continually looking around to rce if he was follow ing.

Ko Knowliiit Whether the Preforeneo Ii the Keisult of Orllrlnal Condition The causes of right-handedness have given anatomists much material for speculation, and more than one curious theory has been advanced to account for the fact that men habitually use the right hand in preference tn tho ! have attempted to explain the differ ence on anatomical grounds, declaring that the course of the nrW tr. h, .1,1 arm. being more direct from the heart, admits the blood in yrea.ter mmnttvr c that, member, so conducintr to it a... perior strength. This, however, is as signing a cause which, on close examin tion, seems inadequate, for the causes of phenomena have often u ,i source than the mechanism of means. In considering the subject the St. Louis Globe-Democrat thinks it should not be forgotten that the nrefiironeo fee the right hand is. save in exceptional cases, universal; the accounts of trav elers stating that riubt-bundednou. is as general among savage nations among the civilized, a fact which goes to indicate that there may be some eonstitu tional tendency toward ths live of liin VIM, l,...i . . ... ..51.0 ...um in preiercnce to the left. In this connection it should not be forgotten that there is a marked distinction between not only the right and left hands, but also between the two sides of the body, the right being larger and stronger than the left, the superiority extending even to vital properties, as the left is more frequently attacked bv such diseases no n-.mlT.DiJ The right foot is almost as superior to the left as tlie right hand, for in the case of dancers, not only are the more difficult feats of agility performed by ..ue i ig.ii, nut a doiiDie amount of train ing is required to give the left foot and limb a degree of efficienev t.hnt. will prevent a contrast being seen bv the spectators. Few people walk evenly and the greater strength of the rio-ht. side is the cause of persons lost in the woods traveling in a circle, always turning to the left. These facts, with many others that may be cited b.n.i to the conclusion that nature is the guide iu the more frequent use of the right hand, but whether the present prefer ence is the result of an original condi tion or of hereditary traimn.r will al ways be an open question. .fast the Man for the I'lace.
