As to Pictures.

Pictures do more toward furnishing
house and determining the status OF
its inmates than anything else.
If you have a suspicion that you are
not wise in choosing and hanging
pictures, get advice from some one
whose taste need not be questioned.
Cheap pictures are not necessarily
poor, but poor picture is usually
cheap. To be able to discern the
difference is @ quality with which
every one is not blessed.
A good plan is to purchase copies Of
famous pictures, etchings and en-
cravings. These are almost sure to
be good.
In framing pictures remember that
gold frames are for oil paintings, white
frames for water colors, and black
enamel or Flemmish oak and modern
oak for etchings and photographs.

Filipino Range-Fintlers.

The killing of General Lawton by
the bullet of some unknown Filipino
sharpshooter recalls an interesting
little story which was told by one of
the officers of the Tennessee regiment
when it passed through the city re-
Gently on its way home from service in
the far East, relates a contributor to
the New Orleans Times Democrat.
''In the first advance which we made
north of Manila" he said. "we discov-
cred that the naive sharpshooters
were exceedingly fond of locating
range marks on ground they thought
we would be apt to traverse. They
would know the exact elevation neces.
sary to drop bullet at some bush,
stump or pile of stones, and if sol
dier approached the spot he was
pretty certain to get it. Sometimes
several men would be killed or wound
ed before the deadly indicator would
be observed, and when any sharp
shooting was going on our boys
learned eventually to avoid all con-
spicuous objects that looked as if they
might have been selected as range
marks. Otherwise the Filipinos are
not remarkable as Shots 1t is very
possible that the gallant Lawton

Remedy For the Mosquito Pest.

How to exterminate the mosquito
has been problem for long time IN
New South Wales until q Sydney resi-
dent tried pouring kerosene on the
water in pool, with the happy result
that the larvm whence mosquitoes
spring were killed. A local municipal
body has tried the kerosene cure on
the waterholes in it's district, and sd
conspicuous has been the success Of
the experiment that steps have been
taken to distribute a circular among
residents exhorting them to use kero-
sene on the waterholes thst belong to

Care of House Plants.

The fne-leaved variety of fern, like
the maidenhair and other, is not tie
be sprinkled on the leaves, says a
florist. House plants of larger foli-
age, however, like the plant
aud palms, need careful and compara-
lively frequent sponging and sprink-
ling with the wafer. A further sug-
gestion in the care of house plants is
contributed by woman who has phe-
nomenal success with her large as
sortment. eff I find that a plant
seems weak and ill-nourished," she
says, ''I give it dose of castor-oil
some morning instead of the usual
water, repeating it, perhaps, after an
interval of week or ten days, if
the improvement does not seem suffi-
GENTLY marked. The suggestion was
given to me by florist long time
ago, and I have tried it repeatedly
with excellent results"

It is a fact of common observation.
Mt different times of the year, that the
forenoon aud afternoon, as to daylight,
are of unequal length. Along in later
autumn the shortness of the after.
Moons is very noticeable, and the
shortness of forenoons along in later
winter. Whatever makes common
facts more ineligible adds to tbs
general intelligence and to the gen.
eral good. 1t is to this end that the
following brief statements are made.
Nothing is more evident than that
the sun requires just as much time to
go from the eastern horizon to the
midday meridian as to go from that
meridian to the western horizon. But,
strange to say, there are but four
days during the whole Year in which
the sun reaches the midday meridian
at just twelve o'clock. The true noon
point varies from about fifteen min
utes before to about sixteen minutes
after twelve O'Clock. These extreme
points in one set of variations fall in
the first week of November and in the
second lweek of February, not to
designate exact days for years in gen
eral. The calendars show that in the
latitude of Saratoga essentially Bos-
ton latitude) on November 8, 1898,
the sun rose at $50 and set at five
O'Clock, thereby making the forenoon
half hour longer than the afternoon.
On that day the sun reached the mill
day meridian at IL. .45. On February
13, 1899, the sun rose at just seven
O'Clock and set at $50, thereby max
ing the afternoon half hour longer
than the forenoon, and on this day
the sun reached the midday meridian
at 1915. These are facts plainly open
to general view, and therefore need
no verifying. &C. T. Dowd, in Apple
tons Popular Science Monthly.

A Crest OF Cloth.

One of the ornithologists attached
to the Smithsonian Institution was
collecting specimens OF the birds of
southwestern Mexico not long ago,
when he saw bird which seemed
to him to possess white crest. Now,
properly, the cow bird is altogether
black, and the top of his head is as
smooth as the poll of young dry
goods clerk. Evidently this strange
matter required Investigation, and a
gunshot brought the bird to the
ground. Then was found more un.
expected marvel than was anticipated.
The "snow-white crest" proved to be
piece of white cloth that had been
stitched into the birds scalp and
trimmed to represent a cocks comb,
"it had doubtless been done when the
bird was very young" says the OBJ
server, "hy some of the natives, and
the wounds of the operation were en-
tirely healed. Ernest Ingersoll, in

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS.


An authority on hygiene SAYS that
systematic use of salt baths will pre-
vent anyone from taking cold, and
avert chapping and roughness Of the
skin. A handful of common coarse
salt dissolved in basinful of water as
cold as ones vitality permits is suf1i-
cient for sponge bath over the en-
tire body. No soap should be used
in this bath. It is better to use cold
water for the face and neck, adding q
little hot for the remainder of the
sponging, if desired.

Wardrobes For women's Underwear.

Somebody suggests wardrobes or
shallow closets lined with shelves for
the keeping of women's underwear.
With each shelf fitted with its long
sachet pad, the different articles may
be laid out in separate groups, and
are quickly accessible without the
tossing over sometimes necessary
when they are kept in the drawers of
,hiffonier or bureau. One adaptable
young woman has in her room rather
low, wide bookcase with glass doors,
in which her lingerie is kept in this
way. The case, ofinexpensive stained
wood, has been painted with enamel
paint to match the fittings of the
room, and on the inner side of the
glass to conceal the contents OF the
shelves is shirring of white rose
sprinkled cretonne. ''Now," she
says, "I have a still more brilliant
idea, but I have interviewed two or
three cabinet-makers about it with as
yet no success. This is to nave the
glass of the door quicksilver at the
back, and thus turn my bookcase
wardrobe into chevel glass;"

To Test Wall Paper For Arsenic.

In testing wall paper for arsenic
try either of these methods, which
have the advantage of being cheap:
Take q piece of the paper to be tested
and set fire to it; if the arsenic is
present you will detect the odor of
garlic. Be sure not to inhale much.
The second test is your procuring
from chemist weak solution of hy-
drochloric acid. Pour it over the
paper, when, if colored with arsenic,
the green parts will turn blue. The
effect of poisonous paper is often SER
ious.

POPULAR SCIENCE.

The following bodies of water are
about the same size: German Ocean,
Black Sea, Yellow Sea; Hudson Bay
is rather large; the Baltic, Adriatic,
Persian Gulf, Hgean Sea, half as
large, and somewhat larger than Lake
Superior.
Vast numbers of small fish gre de-
stroyed on the British coast by
anglers as well as by steam travel.
Mr.. f. G.. Afalo points out that the
latter waste cannot be avoided, but
that most of the under sized fish
caught by anglers could be saved if
the law compelled their prompt return
20 the water.
The injury to soil from flooding by
a high tide is variously estimated to
last fer five to twenty years. A late
investigation in Essex, England,
showed that the soil was left with two
per cent. OF salt, twenty times the
normal amount, but that the damage
was probably due mostly to the COM
plete destruction of earth worms.
Night-terrors in children are found

orally supposed. They are largely

children, and associated with ricketts,,
enlarged tonsils, errors of refractioa,

The slight variations in the body
heat of animals, even in the greatest
changes of atmospheric temperature,
is one of the wonders of physiology.
M. Francois Stepinski finds that the
average temperature of man in health
is ninety-eight degrees, and that the
variation from this is rarely more
than two to three degrees, although
there are regular daily changes, OF,
temperature, slight seasonal varia
tons, and slight rise after eating
and work of any kid. Age makes
much less difference than is usually
supposed. Yet while the average
central temperature is SO constant,
there may be striking local variations,
and the skin temperature sometimes
differs four to twelve degrees in a few
hours. Disease, as is we'll known,
greatly affects bodily temperature.
