The next step is to rip away n of

This is the pattern by which all the

A soft, thin India silk makes the

old rose, orange-brown and the yellow

FOR NURSERY OR BEDROOM
Useful Cabinet Which Presents No
Problems Which Amateur Carpen.
ter Will Be Unable to Solve.

A cabinet like the one shown in
our sketch will be found useful in
many ways; for instance, in the nur-
~sery it will form an excellent recep-
tacle for the children's toys, or in a
bedroom, shoes, slippers and all kinds
of %unsightly odds and ends can be
kept in it..
In our sketch it is shown in an IN
finished condition., but this has been
done in order that the way it is on
structed may be clearly seen, and
with very little trouble it can be made
ornamental as we'll as useful.

take the making of it without the
least fear Of failure. For it's construc-
ton, in the first place, three strong
packing cases of the shape indicated
must be procured, and any grocer
will supply suitable boxes at the cost
of a few cents. These boxes are ar
ranged one above the other, and they
are secured together by four strong
wooden posts, fastened on at the sides
with screws.
A glance at the illustration will ex-
plain this, and the woodwork is then
practically complete.
To decorate the cabinet, brass balls,
similar to those used for the ends of
bamboo curtain poles, are screwed
into the upper ends of the post. The
sides can either be painted or COW

CORDIAL WELCOME FOR MULE
British Army Authorities Recognize
the Good Qualities Of the
Unhandsome Animal.

1t would appear from the quality of
the latest arrivals of mules here that
they are to be used for cavalry pur-
poses. The lot at EPSON are declared
by experts to be as clean as polo
ponies, able to gallop, and quite big
enough for the purpose--they are
about fourteen hands two inches high.
They would outrun any of the heavy
stamp of horse, of which there are
plenty left, whilst horses suitable for
cavalry purposes are scarce all over
the world. Mules, of course are used
by Spanish and Mexican cavalry, but
they have not hitherto been used in
the British army except for transport
and for mountain batteries. The like
lihood is that there will be a revival of
the mounted infantry idea, to take
light cavalry men who are now work
ing in the trenches from place to place
where motor traffic IS impossible. Sir
Garnet Wolseley in 1872 foretold some
thing of the kind in his wellington
Essay" where he said that mounted
c%ompanied by a small proportion of
real cavalry, would be Of signal use in
days to come. The mules and ponies
that formed the whole OF Sir Fred
erick Rogers transport from Kabul
to Kandaher-he had no oxen or
camels-carried two "maunds," which
is about one hundred and sixty-pounds.
but were capable of carrying much
more. A mountain battery mules load
runs up up to 220 pounds, but he is
never as big as ever fourteen hands.
