PICTURE HANGING.
Rules for Arranging Them in Galleries
Do Not Apply in Houses.

Rules for Arranging Them in Galleries
Do Not Apply in Houses.
People who go to a picture gallery have
an idea that the same rules of arrangement
should prevail at home. 1t is all wrong.
Give picture the best position as to light.
They frequently have to be skyed in gal
leries, but they need never undergo this
humiliating treatment in a drawing-room.
The middle of a picture should be on a
level with or a trif1e above the eyes that
look upon it. In beautiful room great
variety may be displayed in the disposition
of the various pictures. Family pictures
should not be on exhibition in those rooms
OF the house which are set apart for the
occasions of ceremony. They may be APP
propriately used in bedrooms, or even in
little studios or dens which people have to
themselves.
Many of our walls are very trying to pic
lures, and it not infrequently happens
that really beautiful engraving or water
color loses its charm because of an ineffec-
tive and discordant background, says q
writer in the Upholsterer. One may re-
ceive hints and suggestions as to the
proper hanging OF pictures by an occa-
sional visit to studios and galleries. where
frequently the tones of the walls are effec-
lively treated SO as to bring out the best
points in the picture.
There are two or three points that are
essential. Large, massive pictures can be
put up against almost any wall. The huge
frame will accentuate the background of
the picture, but little pictures should never
be put upon wall that is covered with a
striking design. If you have enough pict-
ures to make room interesting by their
exhibition, by all means have plain wall.
1t only adds confusion to have an elabo-
rate wall overhung with lot of pictures;
oyer-dressing is always vulgar. Again,
never gather your pictures together into a
room and start out to make a design of
their arrangement, hanging a big picture
will find that the best effect is ever OBJ
tanned by an apparently unstudied arrange
ment.-Burlingto Hawkeye.

California Claret.

If pretty fair California claret can be
marketed at the rate of from seven to ten
or twelve cents per gallon, the retail price
of it in this part of the country ought not
to be much higher than that of French
claret of like quality. Allowance must of
course be made for the greater cost of
transportation to New York from San
Francisco than from Marseilles, and also
for the greater cost of production in Cali
fornia than in France; but after these al
lowances have been made, there still
remains heavy margin of profit for the
California wine syndicate. French com
petition in this market has been closer
than ever during the past few years OF ex-
and the Californians have recently found
it increasingly difficult to hold the field
against the French. They ought to know
how to gain and keep it without anybody's
adyice.-New York Sun.

"The Wealth of Labor

The title of this contribution to current
economic discussion seems to indicate that
it has chiefly in view the consideration OF
the labor problem. 1t turns out, however,
to be primarily study of international
exchange, and may be considered from
that point of view.
The author, Frank Loomis Palmer, is
protectionist in the sense that he believes
in fostering domestic Industries and foreign
trade by the aid of economic legislation,
but he has little faith in the efficacy of
tariff on imports to that end.
Mr.. Palmer lays out his premises with
much acumen and argues logically within
the facts as he groups them. His defect is
that of many writer's on political economy
He depends too much on a priori reasoning
to the neglect of facts of production and
exchange. Yet his work in many respects
is suggestive and valuable. New York:

8. HYDnotisn.'

The author of this work James r. Cooke,
M d., while he admits, as physician,
that ga little learning is dangerous
thing holds that there is still more dam
ger in being densely ignorant of phe-
nomena which daily occur around US.
Hypnotism is exciting widespread interest
among scientists and laymen. 1t is freely
discussed by the few, and it is the marvel
of the many The charlatan throws around
it the veil of mystery: the novelist finds it
a rich field OF opportunity. 1t has played
its part in the religious and political his
tory of the world. Physicians of eminent
attainments are using it for the cure of
disease Leading psychologists and ply
siologists in every civilized country OF the
world are studying its phenomena. Its
existence as a fact is now generally adj
mitted. Believing in its importance as
healing agent and a sociological factor,
while recognizing its dangers, the author
outlines its methods and uses in the light
of his own experience.
DIR. Cooke frankly admits that hypno
tism has its grave dangers, but believes
some of them have been exaggerated in
popular estimation. Personally he doubts
that the average individualln the hypnotic
state could be made to commit crime by
suggestion. He cites several instances IN
which SUBJECTS unuer uluueIlCe CUulu ne
induced to make attacks upon persons
present with imaginary weapons, but when
real instruments of destruction are put in
their hands some sense OF responsibility
seems to supervene to arrest their actions.
Whether persons can be hypnotized and
remain so for an indefinite period is an
open question, with the weight of cyl
dence against it. In the case of persons
prone to catelepsy somnambulism or tenn
porary alteration, hypnotism should be
used with the utmost care. The common
apprehension that it tends to weaken or
paralyze the will of the subject when he is
otherwise in normal condition is not
shared by the author.
The greatest danger from hypnotism, in
DIR. Cookies opinion, lies in the fact that
owing to the mystery which surrounds it,
it NAV, in the imaginative and enthusiast
tic, produce a disturbed condition of the
mind akin to monomania. Certain stages
of mental enfeeblement may be produced,
not by hypnotism per Sc, but by the credu-
lily which was part of the subjects
nature before he submitted to the process.
There is further danger of its use in dis
ease that many persons may become. so
enamored OF its charms as to neglect
equally or more valuable means of cure.
