Self-M Mastery.

He who has mastered himself, who
is his own Caesar, will be stronger
than his passion. superior to circum-
stances, higher than his calling greater
than his speech. Self-cOntrol is the
generalship which turns u mob OF raw
recruits into disciplined army. The
rough man has become the polished
and dignified soldier, In other words.
the man has got control of himself
and knows how to use himself. The
human race Is under constant drill,
says o. S. Marden In the st. Louis Re-
public. Our occupations. difficulties.
obstacles, disappointments. il used
Alright, are the great schOolmasters
which help us to possess ourselves.
The man who is master OF himself will
not be n slave to drudgery, but will
keep in advance of his work. He will
rot rob his family OF that which IL
worth more than money OF position:
he will not be the slave OF his occupa-
ton, not at the mercy OF circumstances.
His methods and system will enable
him to accomplish wonders. and yet
give him leisure for self-culture. Tho
man who controls himself works to
live, rather than lives for work.

When You Hang Yorr Pictures.

BY hanging pictures low you in
crease the apparent height of the room.
Colored pictures should not be hung in
Railways or on staircases unless there
is plenty of light for them. In such
places strong photographs, engrayings,
and drawings in black and white go
best. A picture should not be hung
from one nail; the diamond lines form
ed by the cord have a very discordant
effect. Two nails. and two vertical
cords. or. what is FAR more safe, pieces
Of wire cordage. should be used instead
oil the single cord. Picture cords should
be as near the color of the wall upon
which they are put as possible, so that
they may be- but little seen. When one
picture il hung beneath another the
bottom one should De hung from the
one above. and not from the top: thus
we avoid multiplying the cords, which
Is always Objectionable. A good hue
for walls where prints or photographs
are TO be hung. is 4 rich yellow brown
or leather color. Luatre to the black
of the print OF the tone OF the photo
graphs IL thus impaired. The wall pa
per should have no strongly defined
pattern. The center OF the picture, as
a rule. should not be much above the
level OF the eye.

himself az counsel for the defense In

doctors mistakes. Doctors make as
few mistakes as lawyers" asserted the
old man. "A Doctors mistakes are
