A WALL CABINET.
One That a Boy Can Make With His
Own Hands.

a useful cabinet can be made almost
any size for the van space that may
be devoted to it il "a room. but for
general use it can measure about three
feet Ions, and proportionately high.
Make the end boards 81 lnches nieH
and eight inches wide, and the bottom
of Aeob should he cut out to form
bracelet effect as shown in the Illus
The top board should measure 81
inches long, and each of the shelves 20
inches. They should conform in width
to the side boards or ends, and they
need not be more than hat or hVe-
eighths OF an inch in thickness.
drive slim screws through the ends OF
the TOP and down into the upper ends
of the side boards. and each shelf is
TO be attached to the end boards by
means Of screws driven through the
side boards and into the ends of each
shelf
The wood construction will then ap-
pear as shown in figure /, and the posi-
ton of the screws may be seen as indt-
Gated by the dots on the size OF lhe
end board.
To finish the top nicely a strip of cor
nice moIding can be mitered around the
upper edge of the cabinet, and piece
can be purchased at carpenter shop
! for a few cents a running foot. The
woodwork may be painted or stained
any desirable color. and if preferable a
| back can be made for the cabinet Of
thin ceiling strip The backing is not
necessary, however, as the wall paper
! forms a good background.
This cabinet should be very securely
anchored to the wall. as the weight of
| books and vases placed on the shelves
would necessarily make it heavy.
| Little brass anchoring plates for fur
niture that is to be hung about the
wall can be purchased at hardware
stores, and three of them should be Sc
curely screwed fast to both the top
| and bottom shelf
! To the under side OF the top shelf a
rod and ring can be attached so that
| light curtains may be hung from them
and at one side of the cabinet the cur
! tain may be draped back and caught
with q ribbon, as shown in the illustra-
| ton. This case viii be found corve-
nient nook for bric-a-brac, books and
photographs. and some large vases and
plates can be accommodated on the top.
