The recesses are made of semicircular shape to admit the easier slipping through of the tongues, which pass through the bridge-pieces of the lower section, and out at the recesses of the upper section, binding them rigidly without the use of glue and paste, and admitting the easy opening and closing of the box, as required.
' The box may-be printed in any suitable manner on the face and side parts, forming a neat and secure inclosure for letter-paper, candies,
and other articles.
