PICTURE HANGING.
suggestions Which May Contain Ina
formation of Value to the
Uninitiated.

10 hang and properly group pictures
is not an easy matter. To succeed. one
must have good eye for distances,
for straight lines, and for harmony in
grouping, as well as a good supply of
patience putting UP and taking down
each picture, or set of pictures. until
the position, height and grouping are
perfectly satisfactory, says the House
keeper.
There are two kinds of picture wire
one is gilt, the other is silvered. The
gilt is more flexible and remains unfair
nlshed and flexible longer than the sill
vered, but it is also more expensive.
Extremely heavy pictures should be
hung with copper wire.
The picture hooks should be broad
and well curved, that they may hold
firmly to the moulding and be a secure
support for the wire
a yardstick or tape-measure is in
dispensable, as careful measuring will
lessen the labor and secure accuracy of
position.
In arranging pictures there are some
general principles which should al
ways be kept in mind. Pictures that
convey an impression of distance, such
as landscapes and marines, should be
80 placed that they may be seen from
little distance, and, as nearly as pos
slble, on line with the eye; the
smaller the room the more important
is this condition. Figure and flower
pieces may be hung high or low, and
placed in such position that they
may be seen nearby or at distance.
The bottom shall be fiat and the top
be thrown forward slightly, when a
picture is hung. The manner in which
the screw-eyes are put in produces this
erect. For small picture they should
be fastened two or three inches from
the top of the frame; the larger the
picture, the greater should be the dis
lance of the screw-eyes from the top.
If the room be high it is easy to
make it appear lower by fastening the
picture molding two or more feet be-
low the ceiling. This can be done
only when the wall finish is the same
all the way up, or when the flieze is
deep. When there is the space of sew
eral feet above the holding, small pic
lures and bas-reliefs in plaster are eff
fective. When ready to hang your pic
ture, have it facing you; pass the wire
through the right hand screw-eye, then
through the left-hand one, to which it
should be firmly fastened. This allows
for the adjustment of the picture be-
fore cutting the wire it being DOSSib1e
to shorten or lengthen the wire as the
picture is raised or lowered. Cut the
wire only when satisfied that the pic
ture is exactly where you wish to have

How Tennyson Was Recognized.

Things that impress some persons
forcibly are not even noticed by
others. An eminent Scotch surgeon
and professor in the University of
Edinburgh was entirely devoted to
his profession. The poet Tennyson
had at one time consulted him about
some affection of the lungs. Years
afterward he returned on the same
errand. On being announced, he was
nettled to observe that Mr.. Syme had
neither any recollection of his face,
nor, still more calling, acquaintance
with his name.
Tennyson thereupon mentioned the
fact of his former visit. Still Syme
failed to remember him. But when
the professor put his ear to the poets
chest and heard the peculiar sound
which the old ailment had made
chronic, he at once exclaimed:
"Ah, remember you now! I
know you by your lung"
Can you imagine a greater humili-
alton for poet than to be known
not by his Tyre, but by his lung ?-N.

WHEN POE RECITED.
First Public Appearance of the
WelI-Known Poet Melted Him the
Sum of Six Dollars.

'It was at Mrs. McKenzie's that
first heard Poe recite, at her request,
The Raven and 'Annabel Lee,' only
the family being present." says a
writer in Lippincott's Magazine.
"From an unusually lively mood he
1apsed at once into manner, express
sion and tone of voice of gloomy and
almost weird solemnity, gazing as if
on something invisible to others, and
never changing his position until the
recitation was concluded. 1t hap
pened that he had just before re-
ouested of Mrs. Mckenzie the loan of
sum of money, which request she
was for a time unable to comply
with; and she now said to him, Ed
gar, what do you think of giving q
public recital of those poems? it
would probably prove financial sue

FACES OF MEN AND WOMEN.
The Former Are More Often MARRIED
by Deformity Than
the Latter.

After they had held down bench on
which time 500 people had passed, one
of them wound up his disconnected
comments with this, says the New York
Sun:
Have you ever noticed how few wom-
en- you see with any deformity in their
faces? You may watch the crowd in
any street and every tenth man will
have broken nose, or a disfgured
mouth, or deformed chin, or some mark
which indicates misfortune. But not
one woman in so is so marked.
'You see ugly women, women with
telltale lines in their faces, and plenty
of good-looking women, but, as say,
not one in SOL have mace the count

see a woman whose face was marred by
anv natural deformity, or anything that
would indicate an accident
THE only conclusion ever reached
was that women are more careful of

DISHES FOR SUMMER,
Few Warm " Weather Recipes which
the Housewife VIII Find to
Her Liking.

One of the most delicious soups at
this season of the year is cream of
asparagus. Do not attempt to make
it from refuse stalks, as some cook
books recommend, or it will surely be
a failure, says the New York Tribune.
Take at least half bunch of good
asparagus and after cutting Off the
tops put it in three pints of stock,
Or water, if you have no stock. Now
fry half an onion, and add to it bay
leaf, three sprigs of parsley, a little
spray of celery and thyme, all tied to-
gether in bunch. Put all into the
soup with II peppercorns, and let it
simmer 35 minutes. Then strain
through PURGE sieve, or flour sieve
if you have not the other, pressing
through all the asparagus that you can.
The tips should, in the meantime,
have been cooking gently for 20 min
uteS in cupful of stock or of water
Strain the stock of these tips and add
to it tho rest of the soup; put the
soup back on the fire; stir two table
spoonfuls of flour with two tablespoon
fuls of butter and add them to the
mixture. Let the soup cook slowly for
ten minutes after adding this thick
ening, stirring it repeatedly. Then add
a cupful of rich cream and the aspar-
agus tips, which should have been
kept warm meantime in a covered cup
set in pan of hot water. Serve the
soup Immediately after adding the
cream, half of which may have been
beaten to a stiff froth, so that it will
float in little islands on the soup. 9th

his own, which was ravaged by
