One, forinstance, will adopt a style as severeas anothers is ornate and complicated,and whilst some like huge designs,the monograms of others are of infinitesimal pruportions. Thehandles used for this work are not round, and there is nothing atthe bottom of the hand to catch against the article you areengraving. It is difficult to engrave a medal-lion or coin.

Get a small tinbox, bl( eked and very firm ; heatthe lid till it will melt a pieceof engravers wax (such as isused for brass door plates, etc.), melt enough on the lid to hold the coin, and drop the latter onthe wax when hot; then let it get cool. It will then be ready tooperate upon, and will not be easily moved. Silver mounts, etc.,are difficult to sketch on wit
