 price, and it would be all right. He did not want 

 any thing of anybody for less than it ought to be, on 

 account of a mistake. We have marlted him " gilt- 

 edge;" and wluit ever happens in future, we know 

 the man vircms to be right, and that we shall never 

 run any risk in ti-ying to accommodate him to 

 whatever he wants^ 



TAKING MEASUREMENTS. 



Never use a rule or square, if you can possibly 

 avoid it. Have a lot of slim sticks: and when you 

 want the dimensions of something that needs to be 

 very accurate, cut off a stick just right. If you 

 Avant two dimensions, cut a notch in the stick for 

 the second one. If the dimension is long, say the 

 size of a door, lay two sticks together, slide one 

 along the other until it just fits the opening, and 

 tack tliem with a couple of slender nails, and you 

 have it to a dot. without the ti-oubic ol cuttinif a 

 stick. WIh-ii I am Iniri-ierl and worrii'd. lulrs tliat
