CABINET FOR MATERIALS 75 



with divisions for keeping certain articles 

 separate. I have recently had such a cabinet 

 made. It will hold every requirement, includ- 

 ing hooks and implements, and yet is of port- 

 able dimensions. Hackles and feathers for 

 wings are kept in separate envelopes in one 

 of the drawers arranged on the card file index 

 principle. Skins and wings are kept in a 

 separate drawer, and seal's fur, floss, tinsels, 

 wools, etc., and hooks, are also kept separate, 

 in their respective partitions, in two additional 

 drawers with which this cabinet is supplied. 

 The drawers themselves are made of cedar 

 wood, which is an excellent preventive against 

 moth. The outside of the cabinet is made of 

 mahogany, which insures strength and a 

 capacity to stand some knocking about. It 

 is provided with a sliding door, which can 

 be locked, the purpose of which is to keep the 

 drawers from falling out, and their contents out 

 of the reach of interference at the hands of un- 

 authorized individuals. The whole cabinet, the 

 outside dimensions of which are only 14^ inches 

 by 12 inches by 12^ inches, is contained in a 

 stout canvas cover, provided with a leather 

 strap, in which it is carried when travelling.
