How TO Hang Pictures.

Representations of strings of fish just
hauled from the water, and seeming yet
to gasp for breath, groups of dead birds
and noble deer struggling in the death
agony or fleeing from their pursuers,
are far from appetiZing. and perpetual
plea for the doctrine of vegetarianism.
But a few pictures should ever be hung
in the dining rooms, and the greatest
care should be taken in their selection.
Family pictures have no business in
any room. No one is interested in them
but the immediate family, and not once
in a thousand times is a family picture a
thing of beauty, or calculated to embel-
lish the barest wall.
One of the cardinal principles neces-
sary to learn about the hanging of pic
lures is the fact that the light on pic
tuse.should come from the same side
as the light in the picture.
A picture highly worked up In detail
should be hung closer to the eye than
strong composition, in which all parts
are put on in masses.
Pictures Immediately on the lire of
average sight should be hung fiat on the
wall, while those above it should be
slightly tipped forward.
No grosser absurdities are committed
in the way of picture decorations than
in the Attainment of the walls of the av
erage dining room.
Marriage certificates, Masonic certifi-
Gates or anything of that kind are no pic
lures at all, and should never have a
frame about them.
Groups of pictures can only be effective
when there is harmony in subject and
color and similarity in framing.
Large pictures in heavy frames should
never be hung over sofas or chairs that
are placed close 20 the wall.

WHAT THE SHAKERS BELIEVE ABOUT Dis
EAsE.-They have learned from many years
experience, that nine tenths Of all the diseases
Of mankind arise from imperfect digestion of
food; for this reason they have spent years of
labor in preparing the Shaker Extract of
Roots (Seigel's Syrup, and it operates like a
charm in all cases of indigestion. 1t is not
what we eat that makes us strong, but that
which we digest; this is the doctrine of the
Mount Lebanon Shakers; people who are weak
and languid, tired and feeble often wonder.
The reason is that the food eaten doesn't give
strength because it is not digested; the Shaker
Extract of Roots (Siegel's Syrup will restore
the digestion to healthy condition and drive
away the headache, the pain in the side and
back, the distress after eating and make the
sleep afford rest. B. B. Moore, druggist, at
Champlain, N. Y, writes, we are using your
medicine in my family for constipation, re-
suling from dyspepsia, with the most satisfac>
tory results. Use Shaker Tar Capsules for
coughs. 5 2S-4t

Hints for Farmers.

Plenty of grass should be given fowls
in confinement in order to keep them in
good healthy condition.
Potash on grapevines has been tried
with great success, especially on light
soils. 1t is said to promote the thrift OF
the vines and largely increase the yield
of the crop.
If milk is set at home for cream the
sooner it can be set after milking and
the higher the temperature the better, as
cream rises best and almost wholly while
the temperature is falling.
Spreading the manure or fertilizer over
the ground broadcast is much better
than placing it in hills or rows, as the
roots of the plants spread out in every
direction, and thereby utilize the manure
to greater advantage.
Lime and salt, mixed with the soft
food, is one of the cholera remedies for
poultry, but the method generally adopt
ed as the most efficacious is to give each
sick fowl heaping teaspoonful of by
posnlphite of soda in enough water to
slightly moisten it.
Cleanliness is absolutely indispensable
in the dairy. Wash in tepid water every
dish, implement or utensil that comes in
contact with milk or its products, then
scald in boiling water or steam, rinse in
cold water and expose to the air-and
sunshine, if possible-until wanted for
use.
On small farms where a few pigs are
kept, great advantage will be gained
by planting a number of pumpkin seeds
in the corn rows after the corn has been
worked. Quite large and cheap crop
may be secured in this manner. and the
pigs will grow much faster on mixed
vegetable diet than they will on corn
alone.
Sheep are excellent scavengers and
cat weeds as well as grass. They Craze
close, preferring short grass, and keep
down many obnoxious plants by nipping
them off as soon as they appear
above ground. In old meadows and
scanty pastures they often secure enough
to sustain them without additional feed

How Grant was Named U. 5.

Bishop Merrill in some personal notes
on his first circuit which was in the
neighborhood of Georgetown, says: The
most famous man of the town was Hon.
Thos. Hamer. He was Democratic
congressman, of good character, of na>
tiOnal reputation, and of great ability.
There is scarcely room for doubt that if
he bad survived the Mexican war he
would have been President of the United
States. The national convention of his
party could hardly have passed him by
and taken Franklin Pierce.
He had been a Methodist, but when 1
went to to the circuit he was in the con-
dition of the man described in the story
of his little hey. The little fellow was
asked if his father was not Methodist,
and replied, "Yes, he is Methodist, but
he isn't working at it now." A few
years previously Mr.. Hamer had been
somewhat active, and found his warm
est personal friends in the Church, and
not of his political faith. Among them
was J. R. Grant, whose house was the
nearest one to the old church, and a
home for the preacher. Mr.. Grants tan
merry was just across the street from his
house That house was the home of
Ulysses in his boyhood. When Mr..
Hamar had cadetship to bestow, he
looked for the boy to receive it among
the families of his Methodist neighbors,
rather than among his Democratic con-
stituents, and found him in the family
of his old Methodist friend Grant, and
notwithstanding Mr.. Grant was not
Democrat, but staunch Wing. his son
Ulysses was appointed. But for Mr..
Hamer's Methodism there would have
been no .. S. Grant, for that name came
to him in part by Mr.. Hamer's blunder.
His name was Hiram Ulysses, and In
school the boys gave him nickname,
spelled by his initials, and not liking to
be called Hug" be transposed his in
itials, and wrote them U. Fl. G. In re
porting his name at West Point, Mr..
Hamer substituted S. for II. The cadet
failed to have the mistake corrected till
he graduated, received his commission,
and went into the army. Then he woke
up to the necessity of signing his name
to official documents so as to agree with
his commission, and he began to write it
US The story of some of his biogra-
pliers, that the S. originally stood for
Sidney, and was changed to Simpson, in
honor of his mothers maiden name, is
pure fiction.

Hints for Young Ladies.

Do be natural; poor diamond is bet
ter than good imitation.
Do be reticent; the world at large has
no interest in your private affairs.
Do avoid causes of irritation in your
family circle; reflect that home is the
place in which to be agreeable.
Do observe; the faculty of observation
well cultivated, makes practical men
and women.
Do try to be sensible; it is not par
ticular sign of superiority to talk like a
fool.
Do be ready in time for church if you
do not respect yourself sufficiently to be
punctual, respect the feelings of other
people.
Do, sometimes at least, allow your
mother to know better than you do; she
was educated be ore you were born.
Do be truthful: if you mean mile,say
a mile, and not mile and half; if you
mean one, say one, and not a dozen.
Do be coEtented; martyrs" are detes-
table; cheerful, happy spirit is infect
ious; you can carry it about with you
like sunny atmosphere.
Do try 10 be accurate, not only for
your own sake, but for the sake of your
sex; the incapacity of the female mind
for accuracy is standard argument
against the equality of the sexes.
Do avoid whispering; it is as bad as
giggling; both are 10 be condemned; !;
there is no excuse for either one of them;
if you have anything to say, say it; if
you have not, do hold your tongue all
together; silence is golden.
Do cultivate the habit of listening to
others; it will make you an Invaluable
member of society, to say nothing of the
advantages it will be to you when you
marry; every man likes to talk about
himself; good listener makes delight
full wife.

A BUTTER TEST.
An Infallible Method of Detecting
Imitation Butter.

by that means l convince my GUS
toners that don't sell eleOmargarine,@ >
said white-aproned butterman, point
ing to two china sauce>boats that stood
in conspicuous place on his counter in
the Farmers Market. In each sauce
boat lay coil of common lampwlck, one
end of which hung out of the nose Of
the vessel. Now" said the dealer.
pointing to two frkins, zone of those
contains oleomargarine, made in Com
necticut, and the other holds salt packed
butter from Ohio. See if you can detect
the genuine from the imitation" The
reporter tried and failed. In flavor,
smell and appearance they were identi-
cal.
The butterman continued: "The oleo'
margarine will deceive nine buyers out
Of ten, but will expose it for you" He
dropped a lump of the oleomargarine
as large as an egg into tin cup, and in
another cup he placed similar sized
piece of the salt-packed. The cups were
held over blazing little charcoal fur
mace until their contents were melted.
Then the oleomargarine was poured in
one sauceboat and the butter in the 9TH
er. The wicks were lighted. Both burn
ed readily, and the burning butter sent
up faint and pleasant smell. From the
oleomargarine, however, came the nasty
and unmistskable stencil of burning
rancid grease. "Since 1 began showing
the difference between butter and oleo>
margarine" said the dealer, as be snuffed
out the wicks, my business has doubled"
