fond the Southern Railway and Steamship
association meeting and to confer with the
narties Interested with regard to the Cen
traIs reorganization plan. He says he has
had no further advices with regard to the
plan. but hopes to see it ready to be an
nc,nced within week He says there mas
been a small element of opposition 10 pof-
items of it, but he believes this will all be
overcome and satisfactorily arranged. One
fact not noticed so far is that after it is
sold the Central will have to obtain new
charter which will make it subject to
state and county taxation, from which at
present 1t is exempt except on its net in
come. This, it is estimated, will amount
to about $50. 900 annually.

A New Plan Suggested Which Should
Prove Very Popular
Those who have skill in painting
flowers, either in oil or water colors,
can find a chance for the exercise Of
their skill in mounting n photograph,
according to the plan suggested in the
accompanying illustration. IF oil col
ors are to be used, let a piece Of ''ac-
ademy board" be selected, upon which
a background is to be painted in bold
strokes, but little blended together.
The one from which the illustration IS
taken shades from rich brown in the
lower left hand corner to a light golden
brown in the upper right hand corner.
The morning glories, or other flowers,
If preferred, should be painted from
nature, If possible, using only the col
ors that viii hcrnonize well together
and with the background. If water
co1ors are to be used, let a piece Of
pulp board be cut of the right size and
a piece Of water color paper wet and
stretched over it, the edges pasted at
the back. The mount is then ready for
decoration. After the background is
laid on a perfectly fat photograph it
self mounted. but preferably IN
mounted, Is to be pasted to the academy
