instead of the muslin band if equally as

How to Hang Pictures.

If the picture is bad or disagreeable,
then it cannot go too far out of sight;
but why should not good picture hang
opposite the eyes of a person who stands
before it, and not away above his head?
Nearly all pictures are hung sloping
outward from the bottom to top-and
this is necessary in the case of oil paint
ings-but an etching often looks best
when hung perpendicular and fiat
against the wall
When two pictures containing figures
are hung in juxtaposition, care should
be taken that these figures should not
be made to commit the rudeness of turn
ing their backs on each other.
A minor consideration, but one which
cannot always be regarded, is that the
shadows in a picture shonld turn from
the windows of the room where it hangs.
Thus if the shadow in the picture falls
toward the right, it would be well, if
possible, to hang it where the light in
the room comes from the left.
Another obvious rule is that. while a
large and bold subject may look well
hung at height or at distance from
the spectator, very small picture, or
one containing minute figures will be
quite lost unless placed where it can be
seen without difficulty.
A hint may also be given on subject
not directly connected with framing,
but involving popular error which
seems to take long time in dying out.
This is the supposed necessity for hav-
ing pictures in pairs, or companion
pieces 1t is very we'll to match pair
of carriage horses or the andirons in a
fire place; but artists ideas do not run
in pairs, and no really artistic picture
should be dependent on some picture OF
the same size and shape.
1t would be wrong to condemn any
two pictures because they happen to
correspond in subject or in size-because
most rooms contain pairs of correspond
ng wall spaces which call for pictures
of about an equal size. 1t is only the
unreasonable insistence upon "compan-
ion pieces" which is wrong, for it de-
grades the pictures to the level of mere
wall furniture.
Another point worthy of notice is the
great convenience of picture molding'
on which to hang the pictures, insteat
of depending upon nails or screws
Every room, if possible, should have Q
molding, many forms of which are in
expensive and may be easily put up
household.

HEAVY GOLD MEDAL.

Messrs. Spott & Spott, the well-known
jewellers on Broad Street, have offered a
magnificent heavy gold medal for the
most attractive exhibit of the Exposi
ton. 1t is similar in character to the
one offered by the society in 1888, and
is in every way worthy of competition.
The rivalry among the various coun>
ties will be very sharp Fourteen have
already entered the list and the prizes
winner will have to exhibit something
handsome. Large spaces are reserved
for several prominent counties, and the
competition for first honors will be keen.
The counties of the Eight Congress-
ional District will combine in a mineral
exhibit alone and it will no doubt be a
a very fine one.
All of, the principal dry goods estab>
l'lishments of Richmond will make ex-
hibits and this feature will of itself be
very attractive. The arrangements will
be of similar character to the present
artistic style of window dressing, and
the exhibits will all be grouped in close

OVER Twenty Million Church Mem
bers in the United States.

| 0O-S
Charles E. Bull, Chief of the Division
of Religious Statistics of the forthcom-
i ing United States census report, has
finished his labors in Chicago His gen.
, eral report is the first one authorized by
Congress. 1t contains the returns of all
the religious denominations in America
The total membership is 20.347, 1854, with
church property valued at $646, 125, 7O4.
The Roman Catholic Church ranks
first in numerical strength, embracing
6,250,046 people in it's faith. It's proper
ty is valued at $118,OOO,0OO. The Meth
odist Episcopal Church is next with a
membership of 2,24O,354, and with a
church property aggregatlng 500, 900, 600.
In the Southern portion of the United
States there are numbered in the Meth
odist Episcopal faith 100000 people,
with property belonging to the church
reaching the sum of $19,000,0 900. Other
smaller bodies of the Methodist religion
aggregate 100000
The Lutheran is third in numerical
strength. The Baptists follow, 5000, 900
strong, and next comes the colored de-
nominations, with total membership
Of 100000 and church property valua-
alton of $30,00OO0O. The majority of
them are Methodists. The Presby-
terians are next in numbers. The Pro-
testant Episcopalian denomination,
while numbering but 100000 people, has
the most property per capita, the ag>
gregate being $73,oOO0 900. The valua-
ton of church property by census agents
does not include schools, parsonages, or
any feature excepting the edifices and
the sites upon which they are built
OF Jews there are 100000. the Quakers
number 10000, and there are thirty re-
ligious communities with membership
of 10000. The Branderh9f branch OF
out of Europe, have settled exclusively
in three counties of North Dakota
This is the primitive religious faith of
Christian worship, and was established
in the thirteenth century. The Menno>
mites are now a sort of clannish people
from Russia, but they are strong in num-
bers and great devotees in their faith
Mr.. Bull says that the Church of the
Mormons is increasing rapidly in mem
bership, numbering now sc, 900 and own
ing church property valued at $lO,O0O,-
900. "Mormons,n says Mr.. Bull, lean be
found in nearly every State in the Union.
l have ascertained that there are several
places of worship in Chicago for Nor
mons. have not ascertained, however,
that polygamy is actually practiced in
this city" The Salvation Army adds
its mite to the religious statistics Of the
census report, placing its strength at
5000.
