BUILDING A CHINA CLOSET.
How to Make One That Saves so Per

How to Make One That Saves 80 Per
Cent of Breakage.
An ideal china closet is built between
the dining room and kitchen, so that it
can be entered pnobseryed when guests
arc at the table. says the Boston Tray
eler. The shelves are not more than
fourteen inches wide and about nine
teen inches apart. If wider than this
the tendency is to pile too many dishes
upon them, and they are apt TO give
way.
Corrugated rubber, such as is used
beside kitchen sinks, is an excellent
covering for the shelves and decreases
tho breakage of china by 90 per cent.
A serviceabIe device for use when
plates are stood on ends Is to use rope

center by double headed tacks driven
down tightly into the shelves. This be-

shelves, the greatest weight being
brought as far as possible over the
cieats.
Hooks on which cups are hung should
not DO screwed on the edge OF the
second shelf, but well underneath 1t.
They should be tested from time to
time, lest by the settling of the house
ana OF the shelves'tley become loose.
The second shelf should be about
tirree inches narrower than the one be-
neathsit to admin I large dishes being
lifted out safely. The upper shelves.
unless used for large dishes, may be
flush with the second. The top shelf
should have a broad cleat across and
around It. This is for the purpose Of
keeping the var,ohs odds and ends,
such as are usually stored thereon,
from falling over Upon the dishes.

said that the steeI-framed sky-scrapers
were practically uninjured by the disas-

lures were torn and tumbled into NAM
moth heaps OF debris. the steel-fTamed

have been comparatively small. Thus
has been demonstrated the truth Of the
claim made by builders that such strue-

without 4 great deal Of damage 70 them
II has also proved the quality Of the
work done by American builders. though
