NOW TO FRAME THAT sRIP,
Suggestion for Folks with Liking for
Naval Pictures.

Philadelphia Record.
For thin foot-frame use chestnut
wood, with irregular large grain, well
seasoned. For small frame wood
with finer grain is preferable.
Have q frame maker inter a gilt
molding half an inch in width around
the picture; then some chestnut strips,
three or four inches wide. At one
edge plane rabbet to receive the gilt
molding, and then have the frame
mitered the proper size.
Round the corners of the frame
slightly, and, if possible, plane a
groove in the edge to receive rope
binding.
With some dark oak filler, that may
be purchased at any paint store, darken
the outer edge Of the frame and
gradually tighten the surface toward
the inner edges.
The filler should be used sparingly
on a stiff cloth, and after. it is dry,
having stood for few hours, give the
entire frame very thin coat Of shellac
Use good manila rope, about three
quarters of an inch thick. and with
glue and slim steel wire nails fasten 1t
all around the edge in the groove.
Where the ends Of the rope meet a
good joint can be made by cutting the
rope straight across with sharp knife
and filing the end with liquid glue.
Bind string tightly about the end for
an inch or so, and all the surplus glue
will be squeezed out at the end. Wipe
this off, and let the glue set for day
or two, when the ends can be brought
together, and if the union is carefully
made the joint will scarcely be per
ceptible.
Tho little flags at one corner are o.
silk, and are attached to small sticks
With fine nails and glue they may b,
arranged in the position suggested.
The capstan, gun and projectiles, al
well as shield and laurel wreath, ma,
be cut either from wood with pen
knife or painted in oil colors to repre-
sent the objects.

given by the Illustrated London News,
is this:
A young domestic servant tried to
cash one or two forged checks and vas
arrested in the attempt, SHE said "a
gentleman" gave them to her-a "Mr.
Gilbert" whose whereabouts nobody
could trace. That story has been told
too often to impress n jury-uO juryman

before a verdict of guilty" could be
given a man fell down dead i'll the

sure enough, in his pocket were found
other forged checks similar to those she
had attempted to put into circulation.

that truth really is stranger than fiction.

plAyIN ) At WAR.


The little folks are playing war:
They're il the garden closes.
In bright brigades, with shiny blades,
And storming forts with roses.
We care not which side wins, you know,
We love the little armies sol
From left to right, with flags of white,
They muster TO the drum;
Their curls stream golden in the fight
The conquering heroes come!
And love shall crown, no way but this.
Victor and vanquished, with a kissi
They speed DER mimic ford and glen
On little painted nags;
The rose sweet captains cheer the men
Who rally round the iiagsi
They march on fairy towns in state
And all our hearts capitulate.
Not far away from loves dear eyes
Shall thess brave armies roam,
For when iS song the daylight dies
Well call the soldiers home,
And love. where every white tent CLEANS
Shall kiss the soldiers in their dreams.
