Ada Negri, the italian poet,
who is rapidly becoming 50 fa-
nous, is still a teacher in the ma
tional schools, supporting herself
and invalid mother on a salary
which barely supplies the neces-
stiles of life. However, she has
recently been awarded a prize by
a committee appointed to consider
her worth of l,8OOO francs a year.
The prize was made up, in 1864, of
contributions of distinguished Ital-
ian ladies. 1t was then awarded
TO Giannina Milbi, an improvisa-
trice, who died in 1886. Signorina
Negri is the second woman to
profit by it.

The number of prisoners confn-
ed in seventeen states is 110,53S,
and among these the illiterates, in
proportion to numbers, contribute
six times their quota. The records
in the towns show an even greater
proportion of crime among the
ignorant and the illlterates, which
for the whole country furnishes to
each thousand of persons eight
times as many prisoners as those
who can read and write. 1t is plain
from these facts that our schools
have already greatly reduced the
amount of crime, and that when
we shall have succeeded in getting
rid of all illiteracy will still further
reduce the number of criminals.

that the visitor Is afforded the privilege of

DID YOU
Ever Stop to Think

How much very little change may do to
make your home cheerful and beautiful? 1t
is well worth some study. Take for in
stance the old familiar pictures. How
much can be done to besutify them by Just
changing their old faded and stained mats
by nice new ones. These can be secured
at Quimby's Art Rooms at trifling
cost and will do wonders in
Frightening up the home. If You feel
disposed to do more, and make your annual
house cleaning rs complete as possible why
not have fewof the old dingy dust grimmed
frames replaced with new ones? This
need not be expensive. Some very beauti-
full and dainty frames can now be made
from the many artistic mouldings that now
come in the low priced grades. The art Of
moulding manufacture has progressed won
derfully in recent years and among the va
rie,y of late styles that may be seen at
Quimby's art rooms-the largest assortment
ever carried in the Kennebec Valley-arc
beautiful mouldings which can be made up
at wonderfully low prices, and at the same
time make handsome and stylish frames
Don't go elsewhere to have pictures framed
until you see his mouldings and get his
prices. Perhaps you think of having 4 new
frame for family portrait. The fiashy frame
that YOU bought from glib-tongued agent,
and thought was such a splendid bargain,
has begun to show its real quality. Its
joints sre sprung, it looks Old and warped
and dingy, and you feel that it was poor
economy ever to have invested in such
fraud. At Quimby's art rooms the
same amount of money will buy you a
beautiful portrait frame that will not fade,
or warp. or spring at the joints or grow
'iingy with wear. They are stylish and in
good taste, and if you take your portrait
ont Of its Old frame and place it in one of
these you will add much to the attractive
ness of your home and never have
cause to regret your action. Those who re-
side outside the city should hunt up these
art rooms. Don't think that because YOU
,!esire 4 moderate priced frame you cannot
find it there. Mr.. Quimby has very wide
range of mould,ngs at varying prices and
can give you tasty frame at any figure you
feel able to pay.
