cancer which was greatly bothering her.
She had II treated one year by u special
ist all to no avail and the cancer COM

covered the side of her cheok, running to
her nose. In this condition on November
1. 1903. she went to Burlington to DR..
Mcrrows Private Sanitarium. where in
eight days without comparatively any
rain, the loss Of a drop Of blood or the

REINDEER FLOATED.
steamer May Again Ride the Waters of
Lake Chnmplain.

The steamer Reindeer. which sank at
the Central dock some time last spring,
was successfully floated yesterday short
" before noon. About two weeks ago
work was begun by Contractor Latountain
of Plattsburgh. y. y, with "A small force
of men. which was gradually increased.
Last week Jack Hathaway. an expert
enccd man in this line of work. was en-
gagged to assist. Some Roadway was gain
ed each day, the boat being moved
few feet from the shore into deeper wa
ter Pumps were kept at work constantly
pumping out the water. Just before noon
yesterday a large crowd gathered TO Wit
ness the final effort. After few mo-
mcnts of pulling by horses attached 10
the blocks and pumping of the engines
the old boat was once more afloat upon
Lake Champlain. II has not Yet been de-
cided what will be done with the boat
but the general opinion is that she will
be AIKEN to Plattsburgh or Whitehall and
given a thorough inspection tn decide her
future career. 1t is thought that the boat
will renal affoat as long as she is kept
on an even knecl. The cracks below the
water line will be Calked and the boat
otherwise put in shape to withstand
trip across the lake. If such is decided
upon.

IT YOU HAVE YOUR PICTURE
TAKEN.

While I little late to have pictures
taken for Christmas, the suggestion of a
well-known photographer in regard TO
the dress that should he worn in having
picture taken Is we'll worth considering
for future occasions. The most Elaborate
dress, he says, unless artistic-which the
stylish" dress never isis bound to look
queer and old-fashicned in the lapse of
years. Study old pictures that are fam
Gus and have stood the test Of time. In
almost every case the hair dressing Is
simple and the dress such that "stylc'
had no part IN H. Avoid bows in the hair,
exaggerated sleeves, tight, high collars,
an overplus of jcwelry. Try the effect
Of n shawl thrown over the head and
shoulders, or an ordinary dress with the
collar tucked in and n soft fiChu hung
loosely around the neck. The uses that
a piece of soft muslin or wooden shawl
may be put to in photography are in
finite, ana many up. to-date professionals
now declare that these simple little prop
critics often produce tho most charming
effects when photographs taken In elab-
crate dresses have been discarded.

HORSE WAS STARVED.
Case of Extreme Cruelty in South Bur-
Iington Reported TO Humane Society.

One of the worst cases Of starvation
which has been discovered by tho local
humane society since its organization in
this city was brought to light one day
last week by Agent John Fuller. Nj.
Fuller was on a trip to South Burlington
to investigate a case of ill-treatment to
dogs which had been brought to his at
tention by some of tho residents Of that
place.
While on his way to South Burlington
the case OF a horse In an almost starved
condition was brought TO his attention.
The animal was owned by a woman and
was in such condition that he was har,l-
~ able to stand. Mr.. Fuller looked at
the horse and asked the woman to have
him killed. This she promised to do and
Mr.. Fuller went on his way to look after
the dog cases. About eight o'clock that
night Mr.. Fuller received a telephone
message from Daniel O I3rien's place in
South burlington. stating that the horse
had been brought there. but they had
fed the animal and would kill him in this
morning The next morning when the
men went to shoot the animal he was
found dead. where they had loft him
the night before. II Is evident that tho
horse had not received any food for
considerable time and it Is also plain
that the humane society is stll doing
good work in burlington and the sur
rounding towns.

PASsE-PARTOUT FRAMING.

The revival of passe-partout provides
an easy, artistic and inexpensive way
of mounting and framing pictures, full
of delightful suggestions for Christmas
IT is quite wonderful what good effects
may be secured by means of this sim
pie method of framing, which at the same
time allows individual ingenuity and va
riety in the manner of carrying 1t out.
\ number of photogra phs of the Perry
pictures framed in this way and grouped
together on a wall has a charming effect
in room, as also a series following the
staircase, just high enough to be on
level with the eye. In making a passe-
partout frame the materials required are
piece of clear white picture glass (bo-
ware of that of blush tinge) a piece
OF stout cardboard the same size, roll
of binding, a hanger and mount or mat.
in some cases the print is framed with no
mount visible. but unless the picture is
of a large size II Is usually more salts
factory to have one, especially II the
wall paper be of a rather obstrusve de-
sign. The glasses can be obtained at tho
GLACIERS cut to tho size required, or old
camera plates may be utilized, first soak
ing in hot water to loosen the film and
peel 1t off. Old boxes may be utilized for
the cardboard, while paper for binding
the edges comes in rolls of a dozen yards
ut nine cents the roll. This may be OBJ
tanned In various tints and is already
mucilaged. The tint should be chosen to
harmonize with the print and the mount,
taking also into consideration the proba-
bic surroundings. An adept In framing
advises brown for photographs of brown
tone, dark gray FOR black, pale gray for
lighter tones, and dark green for all
round good color. II you are distant from
shops you can make your own binding
out of plain wall paper or thin brown
paper. cutting 1t into even strips an
inch wide and then into four pieces. two
Of them the exact length OF the top and
bottom of the frame, and the other two
half an inch longer than the two sides.
Put the picture, with or without the
mount, between the glass and the back,
taking care that It is In perfectly even.
Brush the longer pieces with the mu-
cjlage that comes on purpose and bind
the edges. allowing the paper to project
over about third of an inch on the face
side, while the ends which were left
longer can he turned over and stuck at
The back. Then in the same way bind
the top and bottom edges together, INTER-
ing the corners neatly, Before binding
tho edges together make two Sits in the
cardboard back whore tho fiat ends OF
the little brass hangers may be inserted.
These come at fifteen cents, three dozen
in box.
Variations may be made ad lib. A
touch Of originally may be given these
frames Of arranging n float of seaweed
or a sproy of pressed flowers on the
mount Only thin specimens can he
used or the contact between glass and
print would not be sufficiently close.
