NEW PICTURE MATS.

Charming, indeed are the mats used
with the dainty little water colors, so
much in demand for odd places, and really
the incest little gifts in the world. The
picture may be, for example. a wood
land bit. then the mat will be from 21z TO
4 inches. on heavy water color paper. cut
carefully around the picture-in squares
or oblong-and at the outer edge there is
a pale fawn tint with little bTownish lines
to represent birch bark. There are little
places curled UP, like the natural bark.
These mats are quite effective in a deli
cate and dainty manner, and may be used
with or --ithout tiny gold frames.

The moon entered the shadow about
$50 O'Clock p m, reaching the max

at $50. The earth's shadow covered
the moon with the exception of a very
small portion. The obscured planet
appeared as red dix at the time of
the greatest observation. The eclipse
was visible over nearly all the United

Prof. Richard Mansill, the astrono-

said he had not paid more than
passing attention to the eclipse, which
ne stated was not an extraordinary
thing. as it was usual to look for two
eclipses of the moon each year.

Mr.. Charles T.. Edgerton, of Ithaca. n. Y,
who was employed by the commission to
visit New Jersey for the purpose of ascer-
tanning whether the corporations chartered
in that State were complying with the law,
testified that he found a few instances in
which agents did not display the signs of
the concerns represented by them on the
outside walls of their Office building, but. as
rule. this requirement was compiled with.
He also found that, as a rule the larger
corporations kept their transfer books and
lists of stockholders In their New Jersey
Offices, and also complied with the law In
the filing of their annual reports.

of Wilmington Del, stated that the Drla-
