Notes on Scissors.

One ucedS many pairs of scissors
and true economy consists in having a
prir for each sort of work, says Hnrd-
~ IRE. The cutting of paper is very
irving to sharpened steel, and a pair
might be kept for that purpose. Long
slender shears are handy for general
use; bultOnhole scissors could find a
place in every work basket; a pair of
scissors for trimming lamps in the
kitchen is necessary where there is nc
gas; grape scissors for the table are
not altogether new; scissors to cut
flowers in the country are a convent
ence.
Few people carry pocket scissors of
the folding sort. Those that do never
part with them. Convenient for
manicure use, to cut clipping from a
