. Look to Your Picture Cords.

TrOiu tue lOuCON CioDe.
correspondent sends us, apropos of our ar
ticle dealing with "Portents," an account of
what he calls singular circumstance. When
he was at school some twenty years ago a
prominent picture in the school dining room
came down with a run about the dinner hour.
The same thing had happened some years pre-
viously coincidently with the death of q near
relative Of the headmaster. The recurrence of
a, similar accident caused our correspondent
some anxiety, as it happened that his brother
and several other Of the boys were then lying
III. No harm happened to these patients, but
the daughter OF the house, a bright, cheerful
little girl, was Immediately carried off by re-
lapse. This story may certainly be classed
with many others showing how mere coinci-
dence often begets tradition, however
unreasonable, of causal relation
between absolutely unconnected phenomena;
and from this point of view it is not worthy
OF any serious examination, even by the So
ciety for Psychical Research. But il does lead
to more practical reflection as to the care
lessness with which pictures are hung. House,
holders are apt to consider that picture cords
are everlasting; and, no doubt, the picture
cord of the good old times will last very long
time. But the modern wire, which is preferred
nowadays on account of its convenience and
lighter appearance, should always be carefully
examined from time to time. It disinteprates
sometimes very rapidly, and is frequently en-
trusted with too heavy q picture and frame.
The movement of the picture which constantly
occurs, helps on the natural action Of Gas and
air upon the cord, and hence the many acci-
dents which every picture collector, who does
not take care. has from time to time to regret.
When spring cleaning season returns, this is
one OF the points to which it IL always desirable
to look.

CONTEMPLATED IMPROVEMENTS.
MIR. John r. Mclean has purchased the old
Davis house at the northeast corner Of 18th and

ALONG THE BALTIMORE AND POTOMAC RAILROAD.
The suburban movement is pushing its way
out along the line of the Baltimore and Potomac
railroad. In the vicinity Of the road beyond
the city limits the ground is being rapidly sub
divided and laid off in city lots Bennings and
its vicinity has been favorite place Of resi-
dence for many Westinghouse for some years
past. The holdings mainly small farms and
country places. and the method of city sub
division of land has not been adopted to any
extent. At Wilson's station. which is a short
distance beyond the bounds of the District,
there is a small settlement of people. The
next station, eight miles from the city, is Ard
wick. where A. E. Randall last year SUBJ
divided some Is acres of land. He has built a
house there himself, and two other houses are
under way. Thos. A. Mitchell Is now subdi-
viding 200 acres into building lots, and proposes
to place these lots on the market Mr.. Mitchell
thinks that there is no reason why this locality
should not become favorite place of resi-
dence for those desiring suburban homes He
states that the ground is high and rolling
Some years ago a subdivision of ground was
made at Bowie, a station few miles beyond
Ardwick, and there is now quite q settlement
at that point. Mr. Mitchell and others in
terested in property along this line of railroad
are of the opinion that the future development
will be rapA, and that its importance as a
center OF suburban settlements will equal that
of the other lines Of road leading out of the
city
