How to Hang Pictures.

One of the cardinal principles neces-
sary to learn about hanging pictures is
the fact that the light on a picture
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, broad composition, in which all
the parts are put on in masses.
Pictures Immediately on the line of
average sight should be hung fiat on the
wall, while those above it should be
slightly tipped forward.
Large pictures in heavy frames should
never he hung over sofas or chairs that
are placed close 70 the wall.
Groups of pictures can only be effec-
tive when there is harmony in subject
and color, and similarity in framing.
No grosser absurdities are committed
in the way of picture decorations than
in the adornment of the walls of the
average dining room.
Representations of strings of fish just
hauled from the water and seeming yet
to gasp for breath, of groups of dead
birds and noble deer struggling in the
death agony or fleeing for life before
their pursuers, are far from appetizing,
and perpetual plea for the doctrine of
vegetarianism. But few pictures should
ever be hung in the dining room, and
the greatest care should be taken in
their selection.
Family pictures have no business in
any room in the house but strictly
family room. No one is interested in
them except the immediate family, and
not once in a hundred thousand times
is family picture thing of beauty,
or calculated to embellish the barest
wall.
Marriage certificates, Masonic certifi-
Gates or anything of that kind are no
pictures at all, and should never have a
frame about them.

The Model Husband at Work.
Burlington Ha.0keye.

The Doodlebugs are going out of
town. They are fastening for the
train. Mr.. Doodlebus is getting them
off. He is full of business, as becomes
the head of the family.
'Here, Emeline, take this little valise
and the baby and go on. I'll catch up
with you before you get to the station.
Hold on, I'll just hook this hat-box on
your fingers. There now, that'll carry
nicely; got the baby all right7 Tommy,

Four minutes after Mrs. Emeline
reaches the station, having wrestled all
the way with baby, three children,
and four packages, Mr.. Doodlebug ar
rives, carrying rattan cane weighing
four ounces. He is so tired he has to
go into the smoking car and sleep all
the way to the station.

Mrs. Doodlebug thinks he is a model

her neighbors say she is fool. But
she isn't, 1 don't think. She is a
woman, and consequently loves her
husband too we'll to club him with

peared in the bush, having retained its
rigid position to the last. The eggs of
nearly all our game birds are protective
in their coloring and the same is true
of the coloring ofthe chicks themselves.
Did you ever see woodcock about her
nest1 It's curious sight. What she
won't do to divert attention isn't worth
telling, and oftentimes when the worst
comes the mother bird will pick up
chick in her claws and fly off with it,
making sure of one at least. The
grouse has been seen taking chick
through the brush in his beak, carrying
it just as a cat would kitten. The
skylark of England has been observed
trying to get its young on its back to
remove it from danger and many ofthe
water birds actually succeed in accom-
plishing this feat. Then there is the
nighthawk, that takes its young and
eggs in its enormous mouth, and so we
might go on, all showing that the birds
are just about as solicitous for their
young as we are for ours, only they
have different ways of showing it.

B9Ayoung man who believes in self
improvement having recently married
suggested to his wife that they should
argue some question frankly and fully
every morning, in order to learn more
of each other. The first question hap
pened to be, whether woman could
be expected to get along without hat,'
and he took the affirmative, and when
he was last seen he had climbed the hay
loft and was pulling the ladder after him.

and then Mr.. Elderberry told him his

laughed again, and engaged him on the

When Mr.. Elderberry returned to
Flintville his cheeks were brown and
his step was brisk, and he received
many congratulations on the good his
fishing excursion had done him !;
but Squire Pogg spent Thanksgiving
with his friends near East Gypsum, and
the next week committee waited on
the pastor.
'We consider you've brung disgrace

When Mr.. Elderberry had told the
story of his vacation, and had explain

cucumber field had part of it gone to
swell the church missionary accounts,
the committee were Modified /; but there
was still ranking feeling that he had
disgraced the church. The Winter
passed, and Spring was blossoming into
Summer, when Flintville was electrified
by the news that Mr.. Elderberry had a
call to Gypsum Center, and was offered
eighteen hundred dollars and a par
sonage.

Spring Medicines.

At this season of the year one is liza
BILE to pass through a period of what
some of my friends call spring fever.
The spring generally brings an altered
condition of the blood. All the old
spring medicines administered by our
mothers and grandmothers to their chill
dren were called forth by this fact. But
the disagreeable doses so faithfully
forced upon the juveniles were not al
ways necessary. A course of oranges
will prove as effective and certainly
more palatable than the nauseous doses
of our childhood. At this season of the
year let the children eat all the oranges
they care for. If taken daily before
breakfast so much the better. If the
fruit is a little sour it will not be dis
tasteful to little folks. They have a
natural craving for something tart. A
grateful dish may be made by peeling
oranges, taking off every atom of white
skin, and cutting them up into small
pieces. Sweeten with sugar and you
have a dish that is at once tasty and
healthful. A little grated cocoanut
adds much to the appearance.
