A very pretty way to fill up an ugly
space between two door castings which
is not suitable to hang a picture in,
or in case one does not own i picture
the proper size and shape, is to take
a length Of china silk of a harmonious
tint and lay it in tucks landing up
ward. 1t is necessary to begin at the
top of the space, at the frieze if posi-
Bile. and lay the tucks deep enough to
hold up photographs. These tucks
should be tackled with brass-headed
tacks to keep them in place, and the
silk drawn tightly across the space.
This is pretty decoration even with
but few pictures if the color is well
chosen. Where there are a great many
pictures, and the background is COM
pletely covered, a firm quality of less
expensive material Will Go just as WE'LL
Where there is set of pictures which
would make straight string of views
across the panel the silk can be espe-
cially arranged so as to form a top
fold as we'll as the lower holding fold

bons or tapes may be used in the same

more interesting than in a basket or

passe that they are never seen now

Selfishness is a vice; self-love is a
virtue. Selfishness is the root of all
vice; then vice increases selfshness,
and selfishness. in turn, leads on to
more and greater vice. Selfishne~s and

Self-love, on the contrary, is virtue

To Make New Map of the World

The most important project to be
discussed by the International Geo.
graphical congress, which recently
opened at Berne, Is the making OF a
map of the world on a scale OF to
100000. This means good-sized
map, as gathered from the fact that
the United States would be given six
teen feet OF space in width, while the
largest map Of this country now in
use, that prepared by the geological
survey, is only six feet five inches in
width, and the largest American map
made abroad is three feet ten inches
wide. Since the last geographical con-
gress, held in 1891, the experiment has
been tried and more than twenty maps
have been published on the proposed
scale. The progress in map making
during recent years has been enormous,
explorers having added greatly to geo.
graphical knowledge. The earliest
known map of the world was drawn on
clay and baked into brick about 800
years before Christ by the Babyloni-
ans. 1t shows the Babylonian idea OF
the world as surrounded by oceans,
with Babylon in the center of the
world.

The Prime Minister Won.

A former governor of the Australian

he once had with a long-headed prime
minister. The latter brought in GER
tain measure, calculated to make the
government popular with the working
classes, although it affected a foreign
power so much that representations
were made to the imperial authorities
on the subject A dispatch was accord
ingly sent out to the governor 10 veto
the bill. He sent for the premier. I'm
sorry. old man." said his excellency,
but I've just got orders from home,
and / shall have to block that bill"
The premier replied, Look here, gov

imperial guv'ment or about the queens,
as far as the thing is concerned, and
what's more. | don't care a hang about
you. I've made up my mind to get that
bill through, and I'll bring it through"
The governor, who was polite, asked
the "old man" to have a drink, and
dropped the subject. The measure in
question became law in due course.
