latter height for full-grown youth or
man. The method of construction is
shown at A in Fig u, and an enlarged
section Of the upper piece including
dimensions at B. The upper piece should
be three and one-half inches wide and
two and one-quarter inches in thickness.
The legs will be 19 to q inches long
three and one-half inches wide ard
seven-eighths of an inch in thickness,
and should be tapered as shown in Fig. Il
TO two and one-quarter inches wide at

After the recesses are cut in the upper
piece, screw each leg into its recess with
five one and three-quarter inch No. u
wood screws, first boring through the
legs with a quarter-inch bit, and then
bore into the upper piece with a one
eighth inch bit, and ream or counter
sink the screw heads one-eighth inch
below the surface so that the teeth of the

them. Lastly. trim off the upper ends of

The bench hook illustrated in Fig. 10

QUEER TRAITS OF WOMEN
Scene in Shakespearean Play Which
Arouses Criticism and
Comment.

Women are by nature unfair and
cannot be trusted" said the eminent
novelist, John Oliver Hobbies Mrs
Craigie), herself member of the sex
she criticises. In a speech before
woman's club in London several DAYS
ago Mrs. Craigie declared her sex
could not be trusted in tho administra-
ton OF justice and as an example
quoted from Shakespeare Richard
III the famous love scene in which
the monster Richard, having killed
King Henry VI and his son Edward.
wooes Edwards wife, Lady Anne. and
wins her before the funeral OF the
king. AS this scene is one of the
most discussed passages in Richard
III, Mrs. Craigie's criticism has
aroused much comment.
These are some OF the things Mrs.
Craigie said in her lecture before the
London club:
Women are by nature unfair, al
though in some instances then un-
fairness is a source Of fascination"
Where would men get sympathy if
NOiACu NClC IIllpdl lldl NOleH were
not intended TO govern"
Art rightly represents the woman
personifying justice as being blind
folded, because a woman cannot be
trusted to see straight"
Lady Anne was not SO different
from other women. The murders,
after all, were committed because OF
her beauty, and this influenced her in
judging Richard"
The psychology of Lady Anne's
capltulation to Richard may be ex-
planned by two traits that underlie the
feminine nature, and one of these
hinges directly upon the argument adj
vanced by Mrs. Craigie, the novelist,
in her claim that the female sense OF
justice is warped.
These traits have been advanced by
nearly all the commentators of
Shakespeare's women. They are that
the feminine mind is inclined to judge
crime more leniently when it is COM
mtted for her sake, and that it is
wOmans natural impulse TO expert
ence an eXaltation at the notion of re-
forming a wicked or abandoned mascu-
line being by eXerting upon him the
redeeming influence of hS softer,
gentler feelings.

the back Of the bench frame. This
board is nailed to the frame, but
should be raised to the same level as
the front plank by placing strips under
it on the end rails of the frame and
by mailing a strip on the back edge
of the front plank for it to rest on,
as shown at A in Fig. A (shown in
nailed as directed the back board
of the bench frame is already at
sufficient height (seven-eighths OF
an inch) above the top ends of the
back legs TO make up for the difference
in the thickness between the. front
plank and the back board of the
bench top.
The wise front should, if possible, be
made of maple, although ash or even
hard pine will do.
1t should be one and three-fourths
inches in thickness. eight inches wide
and 26 to % inches in length (the
length depending on the height of the
bench), and if desired it may be re-
duced to five inches in width at the
lower end, which will give it a heater
appearance. This is shown in the
drawing, Fig. 6 A. Two inches from
the lower end mortise two and one
half inches long and one-half inch
wide must be cut through and through
the piece.
This is to receive the end Of the
slide piece. c. Fig. (shown in last
weeks article), which has tenon, or
tongue, cut on the end to fit in this
mortise, as we have shown at B in Fig.
8, and must be kept in place by a long
wood screw or by a half-inch pin, as
shown at f, Fig. 6 A.
In this slide piece, which must be
made of some hard wood, a series of
holes must be forced for the insertion
of a small iron rod, or pin, which
must be moved from time to time so

be taken TO screw on these cross pieces
at an exact right angle with the board.
Shoot Board.
The shoot board shown in Fig. IA is
used for jointing the edges of short
pieces, and will be very necessary for
al those who wish TO do true and correct
hand work. 1t may be made from pine
or poplar, and is from 36 TO AZ inches in
length The lower piece is IA inches
wide apd Is inch in thickness. The up
per piece is 5ia inches wide, and must
not be more than "a inch in thickness.
Ii extends over the lower piece IA
inches on the left hand edge, as shown
at A in the illustration.
The lower board is bored with a Il
inch bit for IL inch No. IL screws, and
is firmly screwed to the upper piece
from the lower side so that no screws
will appear on the top surface of the
board whencompleted. Underneath and
in the angle formed by the two pieces,
a strip 1% inches wide and y inch in
thickness is screwed as shown at A.
When the shoot board is in use its
forward end rests against the bench top,
