will be a necessity also, at a dollar, in 
order to keep your wood vise in good 
condition. 
Racks and hooks for the tools will be 
needed, not only for your own conven¬ 
ience in being able to lay your hand upon 
a given tool at a glance, but also for their 
psychological effect upon would-be bor¬ 
rowers. 
An excellent combination bench and 
tool rack, four feet long, with two wood 
vises attached and with drawers and cup¬ 
board in the front, built substantially of 
hard maple, may be had for $15. Do not 
make the common mistake of buying a 
good set of tools and then attempting to 
save money by thinking that any sort of 
a home-made bench will serve. A good 
bench is as much an essential as a good 
saw. 
So there is your complete outfit, minus 
nails, screws and wood, all at a cost of, 
say, $42. It will enable you to do good 
work — work that you will take pride in, 
and, take my word for it, it will bring 
you an avocation that will teach you a 
new joy in living. 
How One Man Solved the 
Lighting Problem

shapes and bolder in design, and it is 
often desirable to throw the light in con¬ 
siderable quantity in one direction, espec¬ 
ially if the lamp is to be used for reading 
or writing. 
An interesting form is the cylinder, for 
spaces where the spreading form is not 
desirable, and where the light must be 
more evenly controlled and diffused. Even 
where the light is to be thrown on a special 
object, as in the illustration where the pea¬ 
cock is so cleverly lighted, the cylinder 
can be made to direct the light up or down 
according to the number and disposition 
of open spaces in the design. 
The flat screen, both for candles and 
for use on electroliers, is an extremely 
useful form, since it conceals the naked 
flame or the bulb from the eye, and at the 
same time admits of the full force of the 
light being thrown on some object. The 
screen is also an interesting problem for 
the designer, as it may take almost any 
form, and therefore be made a consistent 
part of the scheme of decoration. One 
illustration shows an oblong screen of this 
type hung on an electrolier, which is 
placed in front of a beautiful old Japanese 
screen, and brings into bold relief its spots 
of dull rich gold. 
Japanese papers may sometimes be used 
for backing the shades, but is on the whole 
less satisfactory than silk. When the 
shade is ready for mounting, it should be 
put carefully over the frame and secured 
with a few stitches of stout linen thread, 
and is then ready for the final process— 
the sewing on of the galloon. The edges
