HANGING PICTURES.
How TO DO IL TO Bring Ont Their

From the Chicago Mail.

From the Chicago Mail.
If there is one thing worse than another In
the inartistic hanging of pictures II is that
habit of stringing them. single file. around a
room. Group these evidences OF refinement
That is. have a central picture OF large size
and range small ones around IL. But don't
repeat such punching" That would pro-
duce a stiff effect.
ALWAYS give the lower position to that pic
ture which has the most details or figures,
as the eve takes them in TO better advan-
tage il in a direct line Of vision.
Regulate the hanging of dark and light
nictures according to the light in your
room. and don't place your somber selec-
tions in the gloom. Study the effect of the
light upon the picture before consigning Il
TO a special place on the wall
All pictures are hung by wires from the
pictu-e rail. except i'm the cases of the fash
ionable medallion pictures or the small
water colors now so eNquisitey framed In
old tone brocades. These have a tight wire
drawn across the pictures center at the
back to catch on a small brass screw.
IL one wishes TO way the mode a graceful
vrav is TO bring each wire or chain straight
M from the sides of the picture TO the
molding, fastening each on separate hooks.
For photographs that are delicately framed
gold leaf should enframe photographs-rib-
bon is used instead Of wire.

ALEXANDRIA.

Alexandria will start at the opening of the
next season upon a career of prosperity
which has opened to the town but once or
twice since its existence. Besides the i'm
proVements which are anticipated in the
built-up portions of the town, there will be
a squirt on the suburbs in half dozen
directions. West End is improving more
now than it has improved for sixty years
before. The purchasers at the Smoot farm
between the north edge OF the town and St
Asaph junction will boom that section in
such way that Alexandria will cross its
northern boundaries just as Washington has
expanded beyond its boundary at Florida
avenue. Improvements are also expected at
each end of the river front, and on the
south edge streets are to be opened to the
full extent of the city. All these anticipa-
tons promise that the year 1894 will be as
prosperous for Alexandria as was the year
1874, when, as the old inhabitants say the
population increased twenty-three per cent
in one year.
The Alexandria Sunday School Union held
its regular meeting last night at Trim

matte as ii usually is. 1t was a brief but

with this as text he went on TO say that
there was room in heaven. II any one

heart-broken over a wandering son, and of
the answer to earnest prayer and the re-
