154 Copper-mines, the sheets of copper, and what is
 * formed out of the sheets, and all the work in
 * forming it,

Stone-cutting, shapely trimmings for facades, or window
 * or door lintels—the mallet, the tooth-chisel,
 * the jib to protect the thumb,

Oakum, the oakum-chisel, the caulking-iron — the
 * kettle of boiling vault-cement, and the fire under
 * the kettle,

The cotton-bale, the stevedore's hook, the saw and
 * buck of the sawyer, the screen of the coal-screener,
 * the mould of the moulder, the working-knife
 * of the butcher, the ice-saw, and all the
 * work with ice,

The four-double cylinder press, the hand-press, the
 * frisket and tympan, the compositor's stick and
 * rule, type-setting, making up the forms, all the
 * work of newspaper counters, folders, carriers,
 * news-men,

The implements for daguerreotyping—the tools of
 * the rigger, grappler, sail-maker, block-maker,

Goods of gutta-percha, papier-mache, colors, brushes,
 * brush-making, glazier's implements,

The veneer and glue-pot, the confectioner's ornaments,
 * the decanter and glasses, the shears and
 * flat-iron,

The awl and knee-strap, the pint measure and quart
 * measure, the counter and stool, the writing-pen
 * of quill or metal—the making of all sorts of
 * edged tools,

The ladders and hanging-ropes of the gymnasium,
 * manly exercises, the game of base-ball, running,
 * leaping, pitching quoits,
