On Picture Hanging.

The one thing which is unforgivable
in hanging pictures is to string them
along the walls in a line. Their leneli-
ness is pitiable. Next to that crime is the
one of arranging exactly symmetrical
groups, suggestive of nothing so much
as a lesson in geometry. Group pict-
ures. group them gracefully, but don't,
when one has succeened in making a
graceful bunch on one side of the fire.
place, reproduce it exactly on the other
side.
According 10 one who speaks with the
emphasis of authority ,delicately framed
water colors' are the only proper thing
for the drawing-ruom. magnificent oils
for the library and hall, and etchings
and engrayings for the dining-room.
Meantime, those who do as they please
will continue TO hang their etchings,
water colors and oils exactly where they
will gain most pleasure from them,
taking care only not to place side by
side ridiculously inharmonious things.
The smaller the picture or the more
full of details. the nearer the level of the
eye it should be hung. Sometimes two
parallel wires are brought straight up
to separate hooks on the picture mould
ing, but generally the old fashioned
angle of wire is made. Gold and silver
wires are generally used, but it is said
that small steel and iron chains are to
be used for hanging dark-framed en-
cravings and etchings. Some Of the
daintier pictures. instead OF being hung
from the moulding, have wires stretched
tight across the back and are caught
in~visibly On small screws.-Joursal of

An Economical Congress.

Chicago Post: Much a. the present
congress has been criticised, il must be
admitted TO have transacted business
economically. Omitting the appropri-
atoms under the river and harbor bill

tions for the extraordinary and regular
sessions OF this house is S?s,.35,9s9 less

ceding congress. emitting the river

without a Tenant Since the War.

One of the curiosities to be found in
southern Ohio, not far from Chillicothe,
is a country store that has remained "a
1t now is for over thirty years without
the change of a single article. When
the war broke out the man who owned
the store had a son. The father was in
tensely loyal and persuaded the son to
enlist, promising the son that if he
should enlist the store and its contents
should be his when he returned. An-
other call for troops came and the old
man locked up the store and shouldered
a musket. He remained in the army
until peace was declared and then re-
turned to his home. His wife had died
in the meantime. and no tidings had
ever been received from the son. The
father worked a small farm that he
owned. but never entered the store, say
ing that it should be there as it was
when the Vol came home to claim it.
A quarter of a century has gone. but
no word yet from the missing son, and
the store stand. jus. as it was over
thirty years ago. the old man, now in
his dotage. refusing to allow any one
to enter it.-M. LOUIS Globe Democrat

THE DENTISTRY or TO-DAY.
Great Change Since Washington Hal
Teeth Carved from a Block OF Ivory.

When we think revereDtly and adj.
miringly OF the father Of our country,
and of all the dangers he dared and the
evils he encountered, we are apt to re.
member II OF the hardest trials OF his
life: and that must have been the nc.
~commodation of his mouth TO a set OF
teeth manufactured 5000 miles away
from that mouth. and carved, it is said,
from "A whole block of ivory.
When he had contrived 10 accommo-
date himself to the monentous affair il
must have been Il singular revelation
that his smile made. and Lady Washing
ton may have found something trying
in the fac> opposite her of the greatest
and grandesi OF men. What a marvel in
comparison is the destistry of today;
that knows how to preserve the teeth
indefinitely while that is best, and % TO
preserve the shape Of the face and the
original beauty Of the lips, and upon
necessity can absolutely remove the
bone, and put in its place the prepared
rubber TO which the plate shall be rivet-
ed and clanped, till n fair face is male
out of a ruin. And what a difference
the teeth made to-day to supply de-
~fieiencies, so light, so useful. fitting so
smoothly in the plate that one almost
longs TO see nature replaced and inn
proved upon universally.
Yet in spite Of the beautiful delicacv
and regularity Of the modern artificial
tooth in general. a much better effect is
obtained when the teeth are not 50 per-
feet, and each so exactly like its typical
prototype. A little gold filling here. a
very slight shortening there, a tiny gap
a hint OF overlapping, an atom or two
OF uneyeness at the end. all help more
in yraisemblance than matched and pre-
else perfectness does. This. however.
blance in giving individuality to the
mouth. All and each of those little
peculiarities seem 10 express some
idiosyncrasy of the person possessing
them: they are like arresting and re-
tanning points to the memory of the
Imagination.
And provided they be not too OBJ
t~rusiye. and the teeth are sufficiently
wholesome looking otherwise. they do
not at all interfere with the charm OF
"sugared lips parted with sugar breath"
IL is with difficulty indeed that any
healthy teeth. unless they are set in
ugly and projecting gums, can do aught
but add to the luster and life of the
cou~ntenance. A man whose beard
largely hides his teeth can even meet
this difficulty, and is never at the dis
advantage. so far as teeth are spoken
of, that n women is when these teeth
are not at all as they should be.
Great a. the maryeis OF dentistry are.

teeth can now be made, unless one IS
willing to undergo operations that shall
make some foreign substance act the
part of the roots of the teeth in filing
out and holding up the cheek, and SC
maintaining the agreeable look Of
youth, one had best do all that IS pos
sible to preserve the original teeth aud

WHERE OPALS DON'T CO.
In the Bowery There IL IA Superstition
Against the Stones.

A man who spends much OF his time
in watching the pawnshops and sale
stores of the Bowery for good bargains
three years be had never seen a good
opal displayed. He gave this eXpiana-
ton:
"Opals don't 90 here. They won't
sell much in this part of the town, and
when we do get hold of a good one.
which is seldom. we don't put it in the
window, but take it to some us-town
ieweier. The reason is this, in my
opinion. Most people are superstitious
about opals, particularly the classes
and sporting ip6if { ne me R"-tffE Sobfsa via ffTtiaa98Efi
the east side don't wear opals generally
speaking. on account Of the Ill luck
that is supposed to 90 with them. Most
gamblers, too. believe that the MANY
colored gems bring bad luck, but not
all. Those who do wear them are SUI.
perstitious about them in this respect,
that they regard the opal as a sort OF
personal mascot, and. having once got
one, they will part with everything else
first. | have known many "A gambler
to 90 hungry with a $500 opal on his
finger or in his scarf.
They say that the stone foretells
their luck. paling when bad luck i:
ahead, and growing very brilliant be.
fore good fortune. The gambler with
an opal will often 90 a week without
playing because his opal is dull in color.
The fact is that opals depend for their
color largely on the weather. When
there is moisture in the air they bright
en-. and in dry times they are dull. The
few opals that the p%awnshops do catch
are mostly from women's rings, and
are small and poor in quality
Such were the views OF the shop
keeper. But there is one reason for the
scarcity OF opals in the Bowery which
he found it e~Xpedient o to mention.
A ward detective, who is familiar with
the region, gives this explanation:
You can't fake an opal. Diamonds
and rubies and sapphires, aud almost
any other stone, can be initiated so well
that only an expert can tell the differ
ence. The B0wery windows are full OF
real stones put right next to fake
stones. When a greeny ome in to
buy he is likely 10 pay for the real
thing and have it changed right under
his nose. But anybody that's got two
eyes a tell a good opal from a poor
one. There isn't much chance OF a
pawnbroker selling m opal for four
times what it's worth. and there's no
chance OF his selling an imitation. Con.
sequently opals are not popular in The
Bowery shops."-N. y. Sun.

most rapidly. This retarding effect
drags the ball TO one side and produces
the so-called curve. To curve a ball,
therefore. il is only necessary 10 make
one side travel faster than the other.
This is accom- p lished by twisting the
hands hardy at the moment of delivery,
allowing the ball 10 roll Off the fingers
instead Of being released from all
points at the same moment.
To produce the in curve, says a
writer in the y. Y. World, grasp the
ball firmly between the thumb and
first two fingers, the remaining fingers
being doubled in the hand. Throw the
ball at a height equal 20 the shoulders.
AT the instant OF releasing il from the
hand twist the fingers sharply toward
the body, allowing the ball to roll
off their ends. The firm hold on the
ball in throwing this shoot" permits
of both greater speed and greater ac-
curacy than in almost any other de-
livery.
For the out curve secure the ball in
the hand by pressing it firmly be-
tween the fingers and base of the

For an upshoot the ball is grasped in
