A RACK FOR HOLDING FRAMES IN A CONVENIENT POSITION FOR WIRING. 



foundation. The frame is wired as though 

 we were to use four wires— that is, the first 

 wire finch from the top bar, and the next 

 wire If to 2 inches lower, and the third wire 

 If to 2 inches below the middle wire. Most 

 of the sag is in the upper half of the frame, 

 so that is the place for most of the wires. 



Do not begin with one end of the wire, and 

 thread that end through all the holes, but 

 begin at the upper right-hand corner, cross 

 to the upper left-hand corner, and fasten the 



end of the wire to the tack. Now take the 

 other end of the wire and thread it through 

 the middle right-hand hole, across the frame 

 and through the middle left-hand hole; then 

 through the third left-hand hole, across 

 frame, and finally through the third right- 

 hand hole, then fasten to the tack. This 

 saves time, and one is not handling so long 

 a piece of wire at once, so there is less 

 trouble from kinking.
