New picture HangIngs.

There is a new way Of hanging pic
lures this season which adds to the
good effect of freshly -papereS walls.
1t is used with the clasps which clutch
the picture rail to avoid peppering the
wallpaper with nails and taeks.
The new way does away with the old
method Of making a triangle of wire
from the top Of the picture to the rail
ana clasp Two wires are used for
each picture in place of the single
long one. The wires are fastened at
the outer and upper edge of the
frames. The wires 90 straight up and
are fastened 10 the rail instead Of
conyerging at a point midway above
the picture frame
To avoid a short end of wire use a
piece extra long, which could 20
straight up over the corners and cross
in a right angle turn, which should
be Invisible, and continue on to the
corresponding clasp which clutches
the rail on the other side, and then to
descend in an unbroken line to the
other upper and outer edge OF the
picture frame. The effect is very
pleasing New York American.

Den Decoration.

An odd decoration for a den is in
the form Of good-sized drapery Of
fine leather soft brown in shade and
having design Of pine-tree limbs cut
out upon It. The peculiar feature Of
the decoration is that let in behind
the branches, is satin. colored to sug-
gest a sunset sky. The tints are red
dish brown, harmonizing with the
leather. yet warm enough to suggest
a rich sunset tone. The leather is in
closed in a scroll Of etching work, col
ored in brownish olive tones, and at
the top of the simulated frame has
been placed a cluster of pine cones in
burnt work. The pine-tree limbs are
also shaded in topographic effects.
The skin hangs upon the door, and
lends an artistic decorative touch to
the apartment.

DETECTION OF FORGERY.

items of Fraud That Appear OniS "
Trained Eyes
4 very curious fact about the phllos
sophy Of handwriting is this That
man never writes his name twice in
exactly the same way, OF, in other
words. one signature is never a fac"
smile Of any other. So that, il an exs
nert finds among some genuine signa-
fure one. that corresponds in every dee
tail with disputed signature = and
such a thing has happened several
tines-he is absolutely certain. hrst,
that the letter really is bogus and, sec
ond. that he has before him the very
model used by the forger All detec'
fiyes of the inkpot agree that the dis.
eoverv of two signatures which, on
being .superimpesed and held to the
light. are identical seem as one. is a
conclusive proof that there has been
tracing.
such are the leading principles OF the
experts profession. How are they APP
billed? In some eases they are not ap-
blied at ALL The paper itself, the
stamp, if there is one, may proelaima
document TO be a forgery. Then the
microscope and other appliances will
sometimes show whether a signature
is fraudulent. Swindlers commonly
write a name in pencil and then ink it
over II the expert has reason TO be-
lieye that this method has been accept
ed-and it is not difficult 10 detect, be-
cause. for one thing. the signature
looks duller than tie other writing-hc
has only to put a drop Of acid on one
of the letters, aud, presto. the ink dis
appears. revealing the glistening plum
bago beneath. But it is practically inn
possible to obtain by any mode of trae-
ing a sign-manual that will success
fully bear the closest scrutiny. In fol-
lowing the model, whether that be a
fac-simile in pencil or carbon, or a
genuine signature held to the light,
the pen hesitates, giving the writing
zigzag appearance, which, although
not visible to the naked eye. ean be
clearly seen with aid Of n microscope.
The most useful ally Of the expert,
however, is the camera, which has no
equal for showing signs Of erasure,
correction and pen hesitancy.
In one way or another. then, docu-
ment may be pronounced a forgery
without any comparison Of writing.

a Record in wheat stacks.

The longest authentic period for
which wheat stack has been kept
unthrashed is forty years. The story
of this forty year-old stack is briefly
as follows: The crop Of which the
stack was built was grown in 1855.
This stack and another belong TO two
brothers, both farmers, who lived in
TIE neighborhood CT Harrogate In
March OF the preceding year the Cri-
mean War broke out. and the price Of
wheat rose by leaps and bounds.
Shortly after the stacks We're built
the price of wheat rose TO 97s. per
quarter, and at this price one of the
brothers sold out The other, however,
determined not to sell until the price
rose to IS. 4
In March, 1886. inc war terminated.
and the price of wheat fell. The farm
er. however. stuck to his resolution
and refused to sell. He kept his stack
until 1895, when the farm pssse mlnto

N4aM, most absurd thing that East

about grizzly bears, said Cap
tain Harvey Deddam, the most famous
veteran trapper and hunter n Califor-

The bill agreed upon today provides

The Postmaster General, the Secre-

negotiate for connections from Ma.
Mia to China and Japan. The rate of
toll Is to be 20 cents a word to Homo.

ment to the bill was inserted provid,
