THE ART OF HANGING PICTURES.
One of tho Grand Secrets for Bringing Out
strength of Effect.


The finest picture in the world may
De deprive entirely of its significance
and teauty By the hanging and sur
round ngs Une of the cardinal prin-
eipleS necessary to learn about hanging
pictures is the fact that the light on a
pict ure should come from tho same side
As the light i'll tho picture. a picture
highly worked up IN detail should be
hung too, closer to the cave
than a strong, troad composition
in which. all the parts are put
On III masses. Pictures Immediately OH
the Inc Of average sight should be hung
fiat Oh the wall, '7hlle those al owe it
should b. slight Y tipped forward.
Large pictures in heavy frames shoald
never tie hung over sofa, or chairs that
are placed close to the wall. 1t is not
agreeable to have heavy weight swing
ing over onos head, no matter how
secure from 'alling it may be.
Another fre uent mistake III the ar
rangemcnt OF pl;tIreS Is made In group
ing them. Now groups of picturtS can
only be effective when there is harmony

ones, tbo effect Of bota of which was
spoiled. Why because the serious
mistake of hanging thom together had

1t is difficult to give any set rules
about the number of hours required for
sleep by any one person. In number
of people of the same age some
may require more sleep than Others.
DIR. Malins says that tho brain
re Iuires twelve hours OF sleep
at 4 years, gradually diminishing by
hours and half-hours to ten hours at l.,
and thence to eight hours when the
body is full grown and formed. Goethe,
in his most active productive period,
needed nine houIs and took them; Kant,
the most lahorious of students, was
stct in never taking less than seven.

The Condensation of Coal.

In fifty years, or perhaps in half that
time, coal will not be carried from the
mines to its place of destination in bulk,
but only its actual heat energy will be
transported, and that by wire, process
which, it is said, can be accomplished by
converting the coal into heat, the heat
into motion and the motion into cleo
tricity; storage battery in Cincinnati
would take it up as fast as generated at
the mines, and from this battery it
could be taken and converted back into
.,notlon and heat, or changed into light.

THE LIQUOR COMMISSION.
The House Committees Reasons fo1
Adversely Reporting the Resolution.

The House Committees Reasons for
Adversely Reporting the Resolution.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE joint reso-
luton providing for an alcoholic liquor
traffic commission, which was to-day re-
ported back adversely by the House COM
mlttee having the matter in charge, is ac-
companied by a report, in which the COM
mittee says the power to regulate the re-
tail liquor traffic has, from the foundation
of the Union, been regarded as the excIu-
siYe right OF the States, rather than Of the
general government. Attempts have been
made by some OF the States to entirely
prohibit the manufacture or sale
of spirituOus or malt liquors, but with
little apparent success, and the interests
of temperance and sObriety so much to be
desired, would seem to demand wise and
stringent restrictions, and effective safe
guards in connection with the HouOr
traffic rather than impracticable efforts
at absolute prohibition. To the several
States of the Union properly belongs the
right to enact such local police regula-
tiOns as will throw every proper
restriction around the liquor traffic COM
patible with the personal and property
rights of the citiZensI but uniform police
regulations enacted by Congress practi-
cdlIy suited 10 Ihe inherent wants and re-
quirements of the people of all the Yari-
GUS States would be difficult to frame
md more difficult to enact. Any attempt
TO control the personal habits and private
conduct of the individual should be op-
posed so long as he does not interfere
with the personal rights of others, or the
peace and order OF society in general. As
it is matter of grave doubt whether
Congress has the right to regulate
the liquor traffic In the several States,
and as there seems to be no great pressing
Or urgent necessity for the passage of this
Dill, your committee holds that it is not
advisable to attempt the exercise of doubt
tul powers, which appear most properly
TO belOng TO the States themselYes
