NIGHTDREsS CASE.

with a dainty pink and blue china silk,
beneath which is laid a single sheet of
sachet scented wadding.
Every girl who uses baby ribbon
would be delighted with a case filed
with three or four different shades as a
Christmas gift Here are two attrac-
tive ways to prepare such a gift: For
the first take a long. shallow paste
board box just wide enough to hold q
ten yard roll of baby ribbon and long
enough for as many bolts as you may
wish to give. Cover this box neatly in
side and out with wall paper or a pref
ty fancy silk. first having made as
many small Sits on the top as there
are bolts of ribbon
Paste the covering on the box. and If
1t is found difficult to turn in the edges
neatly around the Sits do not attempt
1t, but cover the roughness with mar
row edge of gilt paper for braid
Put the ribbon in the box, first hav-
ing removed the paper and rewrapped
the ribbon and put one end through
each slit so it is about an inch on the
outside of the lid. If these ends are
fastened through bodkins, for which
harrow strips have been provided on
the top of lid to hold them in place, it
will add much to the convenience of
the gift

PROFITABLE AGEING.

Timber is now seasoned electrical
ly. 1t is placed in a solution of borax,
rosin and carbonate of soda, in a
large tank connected with an cleo
trio current. The effect of the cur
rent is to make the sap rise to the
top of the bath, while the solution
enters the pores of the timber The
process lasts for seven or eight
hours, and then the wood is dried.
Timber may be seasoned in this way
in a few days, and is equal to that
which has been stored five years.

braid. Cut piece of the linen IA by
Il inches and fashion 1t so that it
forms four well shaped flaps. Bind
these with the braid. Then take
