Suggestions Which Practical Women Can
Put to Actual Use.
Handsome carved frames are very ex
pensive, and paste frames, though less
so, are often undesirable, as the design
is frequently mutilated- However,
with moderate skill, very pretty frames
can be made of plain wood. For a
medium or large-sized picture let the
material be or inches wide and Il
inch thick, of some nicely-grained
wood. Oak is very pretty and in good
taste, and if procured ready dressed, as
it should be, cannot be excelled. The
pieces should be cut so that the inner
or shorter edge is just l inch shorter
than the picture to be framed.
The corners are the most difficult
part, but unless you are n professional
joiner do not try to make an invisible"
joint, as it will always result in failure.
Cut them carefully at an angle of 45 de-
grees, making them cit snugly. Picture
frame makers usually nail the pieces

the first. The frame done, give it
three successive coats of thin varnish,
and when perfectly dry it is ready for
use. Put the glass in place, and back
of it the stretcher or picture, and Sc
cure it firmly. To keep out dust. place
heavy sheet of MANILA paper over
the back of the picture and fasten the
edge all around with taclls or glue to
the back of the frame; if with taclzs,
use very small ones, such as are used
in lacking window shades to the rollers.
This is offered merely as sugges-
ton which the practical mind can
easily grasp, adjusting the minor de-
tails to suit the individual taste

Ki1led-Can't BE Found.
CHICAGO, Oct. 22-Some where in this
city William Rasmussen, a motorman, is
hiding in fear, believing himself respon-
sible for the death of score of innocent
trolley car passengers.
Last night he ran a crowded Western
avenue electric car into a moving C., B.
& O. train at the Eighteenth street cross
ing. The collision occurred while the
street car was making fifteen miles an
hour.
Rasmussen, who was an inexperienced
motorman jumped before The crash and
ran. At the noise of the collision he put
his hands to his ears to shut out the cries
of the supposedly wounded and dying
and fed at mis- utmost speed, eluding all
pursuit. Had he remained, he would
have learned that the twenty passengers
escaped injury by tumbling out of the
rear door as the car neared the train.

The Superiority of Woman.

A Russian philosopher, Prof. Sark-
schevisch, has just demonstrated in the
Voprosy Filosofye the definite superb
GRITTY of man over animals, and of WON
an over man. He has discovered that
intellectual force is in direct ratio to
the weight not only of the brain but
also of the spinal marrow. Upon this
principle he has prepared the following
table, in which he finds the compare
tive intellectual value of different
species of animals to be as follows: The
crocodile, l; the rooster, LIS; the pigeon,
2.5; the sheep and the horse, rs; the
cat, 5; the dog, Is; the elephant, II; the
chimpanzee, IL; man, 40; woman. so.
Evidently this Russian professor is a
chivalrous man.

HERBERT SPENCER'S VIEW
The multiplication of Centers OF POpula-
ton Hurts Production of Books.


ton Hurts Prod uction of Books.
LONDON, Oct. 22.-Herbert Spencer
writes a long letter to the Times this
morning on the Canadian copyrigh I ques-
ton, in the course of which he Indi-
Gates an important issue, which has been
entirely ignored, namely, that the multi
plcation of the centers of production
prevents the writing of many books,
which would otherwise be written.
The issue does not much affect the
works of amusement, but on the works
of instruction it often weighs with fatal
effect, not killing, but preventing their
birth.
The exaction, Mr.. Spencer goes on to
say, that books must be printed in Amer
lea is a serious evil in the American
copyright act. I'm my own case," Mr..
Spencer says. "had / rot obtained a sale
in America without the reprinting there
the works which have occupied me since
1850 would never have been written"

a Train Attacked by Bulls.

A report has been received in Paris Of
an extraordinary encounter between a
herd of bulls and railway train on the
Spanish and Portuguese frontier. The in
cident occurred between MOravel and Can
averal, close to the Portuguese frontier.
The train was traV8rsing long plain,
similar to hundreds of others which are
used as grazing lands in Spain, when the
driver noticed a number OF bulls on the
track some distance ahead. lie did not
slacken speed, but blew the whistle re-
peatedly, with the result that the herd
cleared out of the way with the exception
of one, which suddenly lowered it's head.
and with fierce below made straight
ior the engine. The result was disastrous
for the pull. The animal was completely
cut to pieces, and masses OF Quivering
flesh chung to the wheels and machinery,
so much so that further progress was inn
possible until the engine and been
cleaned.
The officials had decided to do so when,
without a moments warning, the re-
maipder of the herd, inturiated probably
by the sight OF the blood, dashed down
upon them. There was a precipitate
rush for the nearest compartments, and
the last man had scarcely scrau bled III
when the bulls attack ed the carriages ana
renewed the assault again and again, to
the CONSERVATION of the passengers. The
gendarme III Cnarge Oh tne tlaiH Coiiecteu
as opportunity offered a heap OF stones,
and energeIicalIy pelted the bulls, be-
sides firing a number of shots. For two
hours the battle ragged. and at last, as
night came on, the bulls seemed 10 have
had enough Of it and took themselves OF.
to the immense relief of the passengers.
But this was not the end of their advent
ures for on arriving at Valencia de AL
cantara the passengers discovered that
the connecting Portuguese train had left,
and they were obliged to put up for the
night as best they could in the little
frontier rtown.-Westminste Gazette.

Next Year.
Something of a startling nature is about
to drop In wheelland. The increase of
salesrooms, acad emies and cranks, which
is apparent to the most casual observer,
has naturally caused more or less talk
concerning the profits of manufacturers
and agents. Lots of people who have
been planking down coin of the realm to
the tune of SlU0 for an article which can
profitably be sold for a great deal less
than half that sum, will no doubt be
panied TO learn that this time next year,
according to u gentleman who should
know, machines OF standard make will
be retailing in this market for $50. Tho

cial revolution is at present in town. He
is authority for the statement that in
April, 1896, a well-knoWn company will
have on hand ready for trade and the
cranks. 100000 bicycles. which Will be
sold for $50 apiece. He would not 60 into
details, further than to assure me that his
statement would be verified as soon as
the com Dine now being formed to break
prices is completed. The company will,
of course, reap a fair profit from every
wheel, even at the low price as stated.

FEEDERS OF CRIME.
How Our Youth Are Educated for

From the San Fran cisco City Argus.

kFtIIln3IS.
From the San Fran cisco City Argus
Among the many tendencies that our
age is developing, none are more deplor-
able or alarming Than familiarity with
crime in all its protean forms. Young
school boys and young school girls keep
themselves we'll informed in all the de-
tails OF the latest murder, seduction, bur-
glary, robbery or whatever the crime
may be. And right here arises the ques-
ton: What shall be done to abate this
great and growing evil? Two reforms
are suggested. 10 illustrate one. take
the Durrant trial and the daily scene in
Judge Murphy's court. Besides the
Judge and jury, attorneys and prisoner,
and perhaps several memb bers of the lat
ter's family, both inside and outside the
rail is a large audience in no way inter-
ested except by idle curiosity. A large
part OF these are usually young women
and girls yet in their teens, with a
sprlnkliug of boys, all drinking in with
great eagerness an exhaustless river Of
contamination. Nothing bad escapes
their attention. The testimony of the
physicians who made the post N ortem
on the bodies OF the murdered girls is a
sweet morsel to them.
There is no question that such trials
should be closed to the public; at least,
the line should be drawn at young girls
and boys. The reports OF murder trials
and other criminal proceedings in the
secular press constitute an even more Ell
fective education in crime than does the
criminal tribunal itself. The number OF
persons who can crowd into courtroom
has Limitations. The press has no such
Limitations. In the columns OF the press
the embryo criminal finds a competent
instructor, of whom he is an apt pupil.
He not only learns how burglaries and
robberies and forgeries have been Euc-
cessfully committed. but he instantly
po,es the weak points and errors of the
criminal, which he will avoid. Hence,
when his time comes, he is fully equipped
and fully able to elude justice. Thu
press, in some States, has been inhibited
by law from publishing details of execu.
tions. Why not also inhibit the reports
of criminal proceedings2
