Captain Dunn, who is the command

The Hanging of Pictures.

In hanging pictures the guiding
principles as to the height is the
level of the eye, but combined with
that are equally important consid-
erations of size, shape and color,
in relation beth to wall spaces and
to each other. The inclination
seems to be to hang pictures too
high, giving and impression of be-
ing skied.
Too high, too far apart, poorly
balanced and forming steps or gables
are pitfalls to be avoided. When
ones pictures are large and can be
hung one in a place, with a thought
only for the proper height and
lighting, the problem is a compare
lively simple one. The eye must
rest directly upon it; it must not
give the impression of weighing
heavily upon the piece of furniture,
nor must it float off into space
above. The shapes must harmonic
with the shape of the piece of fur
niture beneath, as well as with the
space. That the dark places must
be light pictures and the dark
photographs hang in the high lights
can easily be seen.-Harper' 5 Bazaar.

HAVING decided to aggressively
seek trade recognition in every
section of the great southwest, and
in order to meet the requirements
of anticipated increase of business,
the old reliable Scarf & O'Connor
company, of Dallas and Houston,
which carries everything for the
printer, has decided to increase its
capital stock. 1t has also been
decided to change the name of the
company, and hereafter it will be
known as the Southwestern
Paper company. The new COM
pany has complied with all neces-
sary legal requirements, and pro-
poses to handle all orders in a
manner to merit liberal patron
age. The Scarf & O'Connor
company has become a household
world in the great printer family
of the southwest, and the South
western Paper company will no
doubt deserve a continued patron
age from the same source.

The Country Editor.

In the following the Atlanta
Constitution wreathes a garland of
laurels for the brow of the man
who 1abors faithfully for the up
building OF. his town and country:
The Constitution has never been
slow to pay tribute to the country
editor and to give a deserved mede
of praise to his energy, his loyalty,
ability and enthusiasm in the up
building and onward moving of
the community in which he dis
plays the sign of the pen. The
rigors of the last winter sordid
example of the indomitable energy
and perennial cheerfulness of this
overworked, but invariably optim-
istic, advance guard on the out
posts of learning, this lookout on
the deck of current developments,
this man on the watch tower, who
scans the horizon Of his own BALI
wick and proclaims to the world
the progress, the trials, the adj
vancements and the tragedies of the
little community in which he labors
and moves and has his quiet habi-
tation.
Probably very few of the faith
full readers who pick up their
eagerly awaited country paper to
look for the home news of the
week will stop to consider the
drawbacks in the way of frozen
ink and frozen rollers, numb fng-
ers and feet frostbitten in the
search of news that seemed to have
entered into a CONCEALED conspiracy
to thwart the efforts of the master
craftsman of the editorial table, as
well as the compositor's case and
the press. The average country
editor does not work in a steam
heated office and go home at dusk
wrapped in the soothing conscious
ness that his work has been done
and that a quadruple perfecting
press will, during the early hours
of the morning, grind out the man
fold proofs of the work of his hand
and brain. The country editor,
is an important wheel in
the vast machinery of publicity
and his work is none the less I'M
portant because of the fact that
there are so many others doing the
same thing. As the town grows
the editor becomes a more import
ant and revered dignitary. He
has worked with and for
his people and invariably shares
thefruits of their combined success.
Among the myriad vocations and
avocations with which man en-
ploys his time, his talents and his
energies, there are none more hon
orable, more elevating and more
potent for good than the man be-
hind the table who edits a country

Significance of CYAN and "von."

Significance of 'Van" and AVON"
1t is a common mistake OF Ameri-
cans TO think that the prefix evan"
before Dutch name signifies nobility.
In the Low Countries-that is, in the
kingdoms of the Netherlands and OF
Belgium-"van" has no particular
meaning. Names with wan" are apt
10 be read on shops as well as on the
doors of the most aristocratic man
slons. The humblest persons have it
as well as the most refined. On the
other hand, a great number OF the
very Oldest families are without IL.
In Germany won" means noble, and
all persons belonging to the nobility
have won" before their family names
without any exception. Persons who
do not belong to the nobility cannot
put won" before their names. as they
have no right to do so and would be-
found out directly if they assumed it
and make themselves ridiculous But
in case of a man being knighted for
some reason or other he has the right
to put won" before his family name
For instance. when Alexander Hum
boldt was knighted he became Alexan-
der Won Humboldt. and all his descend
