Points Abont Hanging Pictures.

Give thu picture the best possible po-
sition rs to light, and, above all things,
do not hang it too high. Pictures must
sometimes be sliied in galleries, but
they never need undergo this humiliat-
Ing treatment i'll the drawing room. The
middle of the picture should bo OH IL
level with or tritle above tho oyes that
look upon it. In beautiful room great
variety may be displayed in the dispo-
Eition of tho various pictures. To these
hints Harper's BaZar adds that family
pictures should not he on exhibition in
those rooms of the house which are set
apart for occasions Of ceremony.
Many Of our walls are very trying to
pictures, and it not infrcquently hap
pOus that Il really beautiful engraving
or water color loses its charm because of
Hn Ineffective and discurdant back
ground. Not long ago i'll country
lFouse woman Of taste hit upon the
pAan of hanging "a hare white wall with
II drapery laid on smoothly of rich ton
cd olive plush. Against this her pictures
and engravinGs stood out in greatly add
Ell beauty. Blue denim makes n cool
and effective background for some pic
tares.

Black plush, which the uninitinted

tufts Of ostrich feathers at intervals, is

One Of the most original capes is q

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Cannes of Sourncss of Brcad--How to Have
Xt Sweet and Tempting.

~ bWceb anu lclhptiuEs
For baking the oven should be at n
temperature of from 400 to 500 degrees
f. When first placed in tho oven, the
dough swells rapidly from tho expan-
aBon of tho gases in the loaf. Tho out
g1d0 il converted into crust, tho starch
Dsing changed into gum and sugar md
q little Of the sugar into caramel. These
give the crust its peculiar character.
The effect of the heat on the interior of
each loaf is to evaporato the carbon di-
axide, nearly all of the alcohol and a
portion of the water of tho dough. As
baked bread contains from 30 TO 40 per
csnt of moisture, the inside of the loaf
usually rises not much above 212 md
never rises to temperature higher than
2I5 degrees T.
Tho loaves OH being taken from the
oven should DO cooled rs rapidly as pos
sible. Much of the souring of bread is
doubtless due to lack of care during
cooling. Owing to the high water con-
ocns and the large amounts Of nitroge-
nous substances and sugar which bread
contains, it is, especially while warm,
. good soil for the development of vari-
ous kinds of molds and bacteria. A loaf
OF bread hot from the oven taken into
poorly ventilated room crowded with
people will become sour i'll the course
Of two or three hours. The principal
causes of sour bread are the use of poor
ysast, raising Mt too high q temperature,
Insufficient baking and cooling In Il
warm, impure atmosphere. In the fore
going words Professor G. u. Woods OF
the Storrs experiment station, Conn,
tails, in Good Housekeeping, how to
bake and cool bread, and he further re-
marks:
A good loaf of bread should not bo
Gaky, GRUMPY or sodden and should be
sweet in taste and smell. Tho precau
lions necessary to produce this kind Of
aleaf may be briefly summed up as fol-
Lows:
Use flour from sound wheat rich in
gluten Spring wheat, roller process, is
pEaferable.
Use sweet, lively, fresh, preferably
compressed, yeast.
Knead we'll to insure uniform distri-
BUTTON of the gas, to make the gluten
more elastic.

CHICAGO GFNERAI, MARKET

Chicago, May 4-The price of oats made
sensational advance today. The cor
ner in May, which has recently been dor
mant, woke UP and surprised the shorts.
The prices, which for some time have been
lowering around 33c., took a jump to 377s
Yesterdays price at the close was a.
and the advance of rs per bushel in one
day in an article which does not usually
move more than l1-16 Of d cent in twenty
four hours, was rather q remarkable &C.
currence
The chief engineer of the deal is E..
Hesse, who is. seconded by Noble Jones.
These two parties are supposed to own
all the cash oats in store and the great
bulk of the contract of the shorts for
May delivery and the manipulators were
not pushing matters. The shorts in their
anxiety to get out of the whole were
themselves responsible for today's ad-
vance. The condition of May delivery of
oats is not confined to Chicago alone
May oats is a scarce article at Milwau-
ikee and st. Louis and something like a
corner in May prevails in those markets
also.
While May oats were selling here at 357s
they could be bought for July delivery
at Boss The position of shorts in Nav is
to be judged from the fact that there are
only about 691, 900 bushels of contract oats
in store and there are supposed to be
about 100000 sold short. The manipula-
tors raised the screws little at the
close and let the price drop back to S6M.
The fine weather was no bar today to

So Bowen went back to help the day
operator, and the sheriff left by the
nrst train for. the capital
Now strange thing happened For
the hrst time within human recollection
the newspapers were unanimous in
commencing the conduct of the head of
the state, the organs of the governor s
own party lavishly praising him: the
opposition sheets grudgingly admitting
that he had more backbone than they
mad given him credit for. Public opin-
Ion, like the cat of the smile, had
jumped, and that Enthusiastically.
In the name of all that's wonderful,
sheriff, said the bewildere6 governor,
who signed all those petitions2 If
the papers wanted the man hanged,
why in the fiend's name did they not
say so before and save me all this
worry? Now how many knew of this
suppressed dispatch?"
Well, there's you and your subordin-
ates here and
We'll say nothing about it,
And then there is me and Bowen in

We'll. Bowen viii keep quiet for his
own sake. and you won't mention it."
Certainly not"
Then let's all keep quiet The things
safe If some of those newspaper fell

record in the books and I'll burn all
the documents"
And thus it was Public opinion was
once more vindicated. The governor
was triumphantly reelected as a man
with some stamina about him.-Robert
