ARTISTIC PICTURE FRAMES.
They should Be - Appropriate In Thel
Way ~ the Picture ITSELF

They should Be ~ Appropriate In Their
Way ~ the Picture Itself.
It Is necessary nowadays that the frame
of picture should be as artistic in its way
as the picture itself, not costly perhaps
indeed the frame must always be sub
ordinate to the picture.
Etchings, photographers and pictures in
black and white are best framed in mar
row holdings Of the natural woods
cherry, holly or oak. Even plain pine
which often has beautiful grain, if oiled
or treated with oak filler and then stained
with light oak or maple, makes very
modest and pretty frame.
Another pretty way to treat pine
frame is to rub burnt sienna or lumber OF
vandyke brown into the outer edge fol-
half an inch, shading it lighter toward the
inner edge Of the frame. Let this dry and
oil with linseed oil, which brings out the
grain of the wood. Large photographs
from paintings often look we'll in a broad,
fat frame of this sort without a mat,
while etchings are improved by wide,
warm cream or soft blush mat. Oil
paintings require richness of frame, either
real or simulated. A young woman, who
is o clever artist, although she is not yet
famous, has q couple of studies in oil
framed in rough, unplaned pine plank,
heavily gilded and artistically splashed
with bronze toward the outer edges.
Water colors require happy medium be-
tween the richness desirable for oil paint
ings and the severe simplicity which an
etching demands Landscapes look best
In simple, narrow frames. A figure piece
will bear more decorative frame, while a
portrait takes broad, rich setting.
Another artist, with more taste than
money, has delicious bit of water color
In fat pine frame on which are roughly
etched spiky, thorny branches. The frame
was then oiled and the design painted IN
sepla A silvered frame had the design
brought out in black.
A quaint conceit for marine view is to
cover the frame with old fish net, gild the
whole and glue small starflshes and shells
In the msshes Of the net, but one wants to
deal very carefully In these realistic frames.
Chains and horseshoes and whips and dog
collars are to be avoided as setting for
pictures along with plush and bows Of
satin ribbon, says the New York Herald,
the source Of these hints. t-

FOOL LOGIC.

A Miners Forty-Seven Per Cent. Profit on
Fifty-Three- Cent Dollars.
In the same column n certain organ
tells the workngn'an that if he votes
for Bryan he will vote Al per cent. Of his
wages into the pockets Of mine own
ers, and that he will vote to depreciate
not only the silver dollar but all the
currency to SO cents on the dollar.
How can free silver coinage put At
per cent. of each dollar coined into the
pocket of the silver miner and at the
same time reduce the value of the sill
yer dollar and all the currency depend
ent upon it TO the 7alue of SO cents?
Any schoolboy can figure out that If
the value of the silver dollar depreciates
to SO GEMS or anything less than it's
ace value the miner cannot make AZ
cents by its free coinage at the mints.
Or, to put it the other way, if the miner
makes At cents, the value of the silver
dollar will have TO lie raised to the value
OF the present gold dollar, in which case
there will be no der, eciation of the cur
rency. The gold-st; ldard advocate can
take his choice of alternatives, but not
both.

FALLING Prices.

1t is estimated that the Kansas whea.
crop this year will average only nine
bushels per acre. This, at so cents per
bushel, would make $3.50 an acre as the
gross value of the crop. In this there
should be enough to convince anyone
that gold monometallism, which has
forced down the price of wheat, is dis
astrous to the wheat growers of Kansas.
1t is impossible for farmers to make
money when they can geths the gross
price of crop $3.50 per acre. 1t is no
wonder that farmers who understand
the relation between the gold standard
and falling prices are in favor of the
unrestricted coinage of silver.-Denver

INTERNATIONAL eIMETAuLlsM

Would Be lHastened. Not Retarded, by
Independent Action Hero.
One of the points made against the
action of the democratic party in de-
claring for the free coinage of gold and
silver at the ratio of sixteen to one by
those who are trying to retain mon
etary system which experience shows
has worked badly and threatens to be-
come worse and more oppressive to
the people, instead of better, is that
the cause of international bimetallism
has received a fearful blow, and that
the progress of the movement has been
seriously retarded, if not entirely
stopped.
All democrats supporting the cause
of the free coinage of silver and gold
want international bimetallism, but
the protest raised at Chicago, coming
straight from the people, demands
that the United States shall take the
initiative, shall show that there is no
necessity for further delay, that pos
tive and emphatic movement must be
made in order to impress upon Euro
pean nations that we are in earnest,
and that if they wish to aid in the
restoration of silver to its proper use
and place among the moneys of the
world they now have the opportunity.
The opponents of free gold and silver
bimetallism are scattering scare stories
to the effect that this democratic de-
mand has killed bimetallism in Eu-
rope, but Senator Allison, who is re-
publican leader, is of the contrary
opinion and expresses the belief that
an international agreement is not far
distant. He evidently does not believe
the democratic demand for free coin
age of gold and silver has killed in
ternational bimetallism. = Nashville

To say that the American silver dollar

because the former is rcdeemable in
certain quantity of gold, and the lat
ter not so, is mere to trife with the
truth. People consider not whether
dollar will buy so much gold, but
whether it will pay dollars indebted

it accordingly. An American silver dol
