The Practical Picture Hanger.

The practical housekeeper of to-day
who has q number of fine pictures to
hang saves time and trouble and Sc
cures better results by calling in the
practical picture hanger. This man
has come to be a necessary adjunct OF
all well-regulated art establishments.
His ability to sound wall or drive a
nail with precision is but minor lea
ture of his calling. The day has passed
when pictures are hung by rule and
method, just so many feet from the
floor, and each equi-distant from its
neighbor. Picture hanging nowadays
is an art that requires judicious treat.
ment in order not to spoil the effect OF
work artistically conceived. AS to the
hanging of pictures in general, it is
considered best nowadays, says an
authority in picture hanging, to hang
black and white independently, and
so with colored pictures. Paintings,
of course, require the most careful
consideration in the hanging, and even
the professional makes mistakes at
times. The pictures must be hung
according to the lighting of the room.
In some rooms the window arrange
ments are such that it is next to i'm
possible to hang painting so as to
get an effective lighting by day, and
in others the artificial lighting ar
rangements are such that at night the
painting ceases to be picture and be-
comes a blur. To obviate these diff
culties a trained and artistic eye is
necessity, In general, declares this
same man, the old rules about hang
ing certain kinds of pictures in desig-
mated places have died out. For in
stance, the old-time fruit and game
piece, without which no well-regulat-
ed dining room was formerly COM
plete, has been relegated to compare
tive obscurity. In it's place has come
the print suggestive of merriment and
good cheer.

Tho Use of Hot-yvater Bags.

A hint in the use OF hot-water bags
is gained from trained nurse. Very
little water is used, not more than
coffsecupful in a three'pint bag, but 1T
is very hot. Before the stopper is
screwed in, the air is pressed out of
the bag by quick smoothing OF the
hand toward the opening; in this way
the weight is considerably lessened.
THIS particular nurse in attending a
pneumonia patient kept in use during
the severity of the attack six of the
bags, three of them upon the patient
at ono time. During periods OF the
critical two or three days, the bags
were changed every fifteen minutes,
but so light were ey.that their weight
did not in the least inconvenience the
sufferer.

A BLIND RAILROAD PORTER.
Handles Freight, Puts Out tho Switch
IDhfs nINJ SPalS EnAiPht CarR.


There is a blind neg 20 employed at
the Yazoo & NJ ssissippl Valley station
at Shelby, Miss, who is certainly y
wonder, says the Memphis Commercial
Appeal. The daraey's name is Marshall
Bright. He is totally bereft of the
power of sight. Notwithstanding this
physical hindrarpe Marshall attends to
all the duties of a porter around the
station. He handles freight, puts out
switch lights and seals freight cars as
correctly as any person could do who
Is blessed with good sight. In fixing
the switch lights in the evening he
adjusts the fame of the lamp by pass
ing his finger over the blaze. His
sense of touch is so acute that he can
tell just when the lanpwick is prop
erly adjusted. Bright has been en-
ployed around the station for a num-
Der of years and although he is con-
stantly around the railrond tracks he
has had but one mishap. Several years
ago, before he became thoroughly ia
miliar with the trains, he was brushed
off the track by slowly moving train.

Japanese Gardening.

The Japanese have the art of dwarf.
ing trees to mere shrubs, and OF cult
waiting plants in similar way. The
people take great delight in their
miniature gardens, which require a
special gardener to keep them down to
desired limits. The author Of ION
Short Leave to JAPAN" writes: "A
Japanese garden is generally about ten
yards square, and in this small space
is found a park and demesne, with
lake, summer house, temples, trees, all
complete, and all in keeping with the
dimensions available. The lake Is
four feet long and full of small gold
fish. On the border stands pine tree,
exactly eighteen inches high and fifty
years old, beneath its shade issa tenn
pie carved out of one piece of stone,
the size of a brick On lofty crag
of some two and half feet stands a
fine maple tree, perfect in form and
shape, fifteen years old and twelve
inches high. We bought three Of
these miniature trees later-a maple,
a pine and a bamboo clump-each
about fifteen years old and eighteen
inches to two feet high, growing IN
shallow dishes. We were told of a
complete garden, contained In shall
low two-dozen wine case. Everything
was complete, down to the fish in the
lake, a sheet of water only few inches
square, and the foot bridges over the
watercourses. Tea houses there were,
and numerous trees of various kinds,
each about six inches high. Old as the
hills these, but full of vitality, and yet
never growing bigger"

this cruel and senseless cure imagine
that all fever is drawn out of the body
by the hot lifeblood and the quiverlng

thing is that faith in the cure is wide
spread and recourse to it frequent. DR..
Legue, who has thoroufhly inyestigat-

the address of shop in the Central
market at which nothing else is sold

A MEXICAN NIGHTINGALE.
Young American Ornithologist Anxious
To Secure One.

To Secure One.
William Johnson Of Bonneville, N.
Y, one Of the most earnest and pro-
found of Americas younger ornitholo-
gists, is visiting this city, says the
Denver Post Il am now on my way
to Mexico" he said, where 1 will
spend perhaps two months studying
the birds of that latitude and securing
specimens for my egg collection. l am
told that many Of the birds OF lower
Mexico remain unclassified principally
because they are so wild. A species OF
nightingale that sings with remarka-
BILE sweetness has proved so utterly I'M
approachable that not single speci-
men has ever been captured and, as
only occasionally fitting glimpses OF 1t
can be had, it has been so variously
described that no authentic data con-
corning it are to be found In ornttho-
logical records. 1t is my hope to be
able to secure a live specimen, but OF
course l dare not build upon 1t great
ly. for the task l have set myself Is
most arduous, but If l should be for
tunate enough to get one l would be
the happiest fellow in the world" And
the bird lover clasped his hands in
rapture at the thought.

The way to Hang p ,rtieres.

To hang portieres in narrow apart
ment halls or in any place where it Is
desirable to have them at times out OF
the way, the long wooden arms moved
on brackets will be the most con-
venient fixtures. In this way thepor-
there may be laid back fat against the

useful in the basement hall. Here 1t
