HOW Pictures Should BE HUNG.

ITO hang and properly group pic
lures is not an easy matter" writes
Maria Parloa in the Ladies Home
Journal" ITO succeed, one must have
a good eye for distances, for straight
lines, and for harmony in grouping, as
we'll as fund of patience-putting up
and taking down each picture, or set of
pictures, until the position, hight and
grouping are perfectly satisfactory.
There are two kinds of picture wire
one is gilt, the other is silvered The
gilt is more flexible and remains un-
tarnished and flexible longer than the
silvered, but it is also more expensive.
Extremely heavy pictures should be
hung with copper wire.
.eThe picture hooks should be broad
and well curved, that they may hold
firmly to the molding and be a secure
support for the wire. A yardstick or
tape measure is Indispensable, as care
full measuring will lessen the labor and
assure accuracy of position.
"a picture should be SO hung that
the bottom shall lie fiat and the top
be thrown forward slightly. The man.

Carl Haganback, the greatest animal
trainer in the world, and the man who
has at Hamburg, Germany, the most
numerous collection of wild beasts in
the world, has written to Director Tay-
lor of the Concession Department that
he will arrive in America in a few days
for conference as he wishes to have
at the Pan-American a far greater dis
play of animals than he had at the
Worlds Columbian Exposition, and at
that great fair he had enough beasts to
supply a. half dozen Noah's Arks.
There We're a number of people who
a few months ago attempted to say
that it would be impossible to make
the Pan-American Exposition PAN
American in the fullest sense of the
term, for the reason that the republics
of the South and Central Americas
would not take the trouble of making
this blaze in Buffalo in 1901.
Those people reckoned without rea-
son, for the men of the tropics have
decided almost to the extent of a ma
jority that a showing in this section
of the country would be of the utmost
benefit to their countries and the as
surances which have been received lead
the Commissioner General to believe
that there will not be a country in
either South or Central America that
will not have a splendid representation
Already nine of the subdivisions OF
those two countries have, through
American Consuls or diplomatic at
taches, sent word that there would be
a representation, and yesterday Will
lam Eleroy Curtiss. the South Ameri-
can Commissioner, cabled Commits
sioner General Weber that. the confer
ences which he had with the rulers Of
Peru and Bolivia had convinced him
that those two countries would make
displays of the utmost beauty, and that
each of the countries would spare no
expense.
Bolivia has sent word that she had
originally intended to appropriate not
less than 10000 bolivanoes for her dis
play, but after the visit of South
American Commissioner Curtiss she
might do even better and make the
appropriation $4,000.

PORT OF AVALON.
Banning Company Determines to
Throw It Open to the Public.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 26. = 1t has
just become known that the Banning
Company has determined to throw open
the port of Avalon to the public, and
to allow boats other than those owned
by the company to land passengers and
freight at that point.
The Banning Company has for several
years denied the privilege of landing to
other boats than their own, and no per-
son who had not purchased a ticket
via the Wilmington Transportation
Company's line was permitted to land,
their claim being that the island was
private property, and that private
rights should be respected
The company now makes the an
nouncement, however, that they have
decided to throw open the port at Ava
Ion to the world, regardless of any
court decisions that may be made.
