If you received az outfit of tools for
Christmas, or few IS the start of an
outfit. one of the first things you
should do is provide a receptacle for
them-unless they came il a chest or
cabinet.
A chest is very simple to make. A
grocery-box or small packing-case
about % inches long, IA inches wide
and 10 inches deep may be used. and
one may be procured at the grocery
or dry-goods store for 10 or Is
cents. Select a box that is in good
condition, and go over it and renal
all boards that show signs of loosen
ing: also drive in few extra nails
as additional reinforcement
The chest shown in Figs. l and 2
has drop-leaf in front, which makes
1t big improvement over the COM
mon form of solid front, because you
can reach down under the tray and
get tool in the bottom of the chest
without having to remove the tray.

should be removed for the drop-leaf,

practice, says Rural Life, results IN

rain. or some other agent. it should be

until all danger from cabbage worms

A cabbage treated in this way will

How TaIIors Sew on Buttons.

Tailors double their thread used to
sew on buttons and make a knot and
hold the knot in the teeth while they
twist the thread, then they wax it and
that keeps it twisted. Then they put
pin across the button, and after the
buttons are sewel on they remove
the pin and wind the thread around
several times, making a kind of a
stem. This makes it more easy to
button the garment The buttons on
