Scarcity Of Big Game i'm the West.

FrOU T Ortst anu Stteann.
To judge by the letters which come to US in
curing for localities where big game, such as elk,
deer, antelope, BEAR and mountain sheep, may be
found, great many OF the readers OF Forest and
Stream are contemplating expeditions to the West
this year. Such correspondents must remember
that the day OF big game plenty In the West is for
ever past and that IL Is no longer possible to give
explicit direction where game can be found. The
West Is rapidly settling up. there are few spots
where the hunters have not penetrated, and the
larger WIZ animals are constantly driven from
place to place. section which abounded I'm game
last year may be deserted this season. Moreover
there is good deal OF human nature among hun
ter and can scarcely be expected after they have
spent time and money-perhaps a good deal OF
both-in discovering for themselves choice local.
ties Where II Is even yet possible TO kill enough
meat 10 keep the camp going, that they should re-
veal such situations to any one who may choose
to ask them for this Information. There are still
places III the Rocky Mountains where fair hunting
can be had, but those VINO know such places do
not usually make them publtc.

Rules for Hanging Pictures.


II we suppose pictures wisely chosen and framed,
there still remain certain questions as to their
judicous hanging. Here We note first that they
should be suited primarily as to their subjects,
and next as to size to the room In which they are
to be put. This rule is followed In the general
custom OF placing In the study or the library por-
traits Of authors and similarly in the mushroom
those OF great composers. Some hOuSehOlderS even
go TO the length OF selecting for the dining-roOm
representations OF game fish, or fruit. Negatively,
the more important application OF this rule Is
probably that family portraits, especially II large,
should be kept In the more private rooms rather
than In those used by almost all persons who come
into the house.
1t is hard to name practice in much worse
taste than to have In the parlor one, Two. or, In
some cases, an extended row OF portraits OF peo-
pie perhaps very estimabe personally, but hav-
ing no other claim to distinction than being men,
berS OF the family living IN the house. Landscapes
can scarcely be termed out OF place in any room.
An important canon OF good taste Is that one and
the same apartment should contain either colored
or monochrome pictures, but not both This rule
Is perhaps subject TO exception where person Is
living in but one or two rooms, and Is thus under
some necessity TO hang in proximity incOngru0uS
pictures. The same may be said OF the rule against
case 1t may be In better taste to stow away part
OF ones pictorial possessions.
In choosing places walls for different pictures,
OF course the old rule Is not to be forgotten to
gard the light ana shade In the picture and put it
where the prevailing light from the nearest win
dow will be opposite the depicted shadows. care
Is necessary also sometimes to avoid the occur
renee OF an unpleasant glare from the surface OF
Oil painting or from glass. common error is
having the eyelets In the frame too near the mid
die OF the two sides, whereby the surface OF the
picture when hung tips forward at an ungraceful
pitch. Too little Inclination Is not so bad as too
much. Another error Is hanging prictures too
high. A safe guide, at least In beginning, is to
have the centers OF the pictures about In line with
the eyes OF an adult OF ordinary size In adjusting
pictures OF varying width to an average height
above the floor it is the center, rather than the
bottom OF the frames which should be considered.
