CUTriNG PAPER.
Wz have oftt.n come acroBS operaton who have no really definite plan on whic~ they cut up their paper ~or a day'll work, and they have liitle idea of the moat eco~omical place of dividing the ebeeta. The following remarks by Mr. Hearn, which appeared in the PnoToGJUPHicNxws, 187.f, will be useful to the printer, and, being so extremely well described, we take the liberty of reproducing them. ' "In cutting up the paper for printing, due regard should be given to the materials employed. In the first place, the fingt-n ahould be free from anything that will stain or soil the paper, and they should never touch the Biltlerell side, but always t~e Jacl:. The bands should be perfectly dry, free even from any perspiration, for if this is not strictly regarded in the handling of the paper, ' finger stains ' will appear on those parts of the paper with which the fingers come in contact. To guard Sgainst this, a rough towel should be suspended in a conVenient place, and the hands wiped upon it as often as may 'be found necessary-say once in e,路ery five or ten minutes. An ivory newspaper cutter, about eight inches long and an inch wide, together with a suitable sized pair of shears, will be all of the instrumenta neoeasary.
