138 THE ELEMENTS 



Simple Method of Arranging 

 Cabinets. 



JL he most simple method of arrang- 

 ing cabinets, is, by cutting white cards 

 into the size you wish the boxes, (if 

 they may be so termed ;) then take a 

 pair of steel dividers which are fixed 

 with a screw, and set them to the size 

 the depth of the sides is wished ; place 

 the card upon a o piece of pasteboard, 

 and draw the dividers along the sur- 

 face, one leg being guided by the edge 

 of the card ; press pretty hard so as to 

 make a deep groove ; then cut out the 

 corners, and press up the sides, which 

 will be found to stand quite stiff; but 

 if great nicety is wanted, a piece of 

 paper may be pasted on the corners. 

 On the bottom of every box should be 

 written the name of the shell it con- 

 tains, with the place it was found in ; 

 a reference to some author who de- 

 scribes it; and such other remarks a* 

 may be thought necessary.
