Points About Hanging Pictures

Give the picture the best possible posi-.
ton AS to light, and, above all things, do
not hang it too high. Pictures must some
times be skicd in galleries, but they never
need undergo this humiliating treatment
in the drawing room. The middle of the
picture should bc on level with or IA trifle
above the eyes that look upon it. In a
beautiful room great variety may be dis
played in the disposition of the various
pictures. 70 these hints Harper's Bazaar
adds that family pictures should not be on
exhibition In those ROOMS of the house
which arc set apart for occasions of ccre-
mony.
Many of our walls are very trying to
pictures, and it not infrcquently hap
pens that a really beautiful engraving Or
water color loses its charm because Of an
ineffective and discordart background.
Not long ago in country house awoman
of taste hit upon the plan of hanging a
bare white wall with drapery laid on
smoothly of rich toned olive plush. Against
this her pictures and cngravings stood out
in greatly added beauty. Blue denim
makes u cool and effective back ground for
some pictures.

PIRACY IN THE LEVANT.
1t Exists In q Small Way, but Its Palmy
Days Have Passed.
The ONLY PERFECT

In large, wholesale way OF business
indeed Levantino piracy may be called ex-
tinct. No longer are the tideless waters
swept by the galleys of the Algerine, nor
DO we often at church find collections be
ing made for mariners captive among the
Moors. The genial old ruffian who made
his prisoners drink to the king over the
water is totally extinct.
But in small way, with very limited
capital and enterprise sadly thwarted,
the isles that burning Sappho loved and
sang still see IA good deal of business done
on the old lines. The practice rather
resembles maritime burglary perhaps
than anything worthy to be called pira-
cy, and the practitioners are natives OF
mixed race. A small schooner or other
vessel, q hardy crew, a few lucifer matches
and such revolvers as can be procured
suffice for an outfit The method is COM
monty as follows:
The shores of the isles are studded by
little villages as far from the sweet
ministry of the police as wild Kintail, and
we cannot put it more strongly. The
wealth of the villagers mainly consists in
old silver vessels and ornaments, often of
beauty and great antiquity. A sponge
diver, for example. has found more than
sponges In the British museum there Is
q recent acquisition-a pot made of gold,
weighing as much as 100 sovereisns. This
was brought up from a classical wreck by
a sponge diver, and it is likely enough
that such discoveries are frequently made
and concealed.
The villagers have also the silver orna-
monts of their women's dowries, otter
old and curious, and there may be a few
relics of antique gems, rings, necklets
and armlets, spoils Of the graves of the
Myccnnan age. AS the taxgatherers are
prompt to levy on all property, this little
wealth is of course carefully hidden, per
haps under the thatch. The pirates first
care is to obtain private information as
to who is rich among people apparently
as destitute as the old fisherman in Theoc-
ritus. When he has learned as much as
he can, he launches his bark under some
equivalent for the Jolly Rover. He lands
at the sleeping village under cover OF
night, surrounds the cottage and as rule
places the householder ON q fire or ties
him up in u sack with pair of cats OF
otherwise prevails on him to disclose the
hiding place of his valuables. Then the
gallant pirate sails away, and all is over.
