Hanging Pictures.

When a room has been newly wall,
papered there comes an opportunity
to rearrange and dispose OF the pict.
ures which formerly hung there. No
picture should be rehung that does
not look well against the new back.
ground, and such pictures as do not
suit the style of the room should be
ruthlessly removed elsewhere. AS a
room is made by its wall decoration
so is it spoiled by inappropriate piet-
ures.
Pictures Shout not only be suited
to the apartment where they are to
be hung, but also suited TO each
other. Il is a mistake to hang a water
color next to an oil painting, just as it
is wrong to place a reprint beside a
fine engraving. Dining room or library
pictures in their heavy frames will b
entirely unsuited to the the delicate
traceries of poinpadour paper. The
wide Flemish oak frames now use so
much for photographs look well on al.
most any wall, but they are essential
ly intended for plain background.
Never crowd too many pictures on
one wall. so that no one can be prop
erly appreciated. Many are prone TO
overcrowd their walls as we'll as their
drawing rooms, but a private house
is neither a bric-a-brac shop nor an
art gallery, and, indeed, no art gallery
would crowd its treasures into an In
distinguishable confusion.
Pictures must not be hung too
high to be seen clearly nor too low TO
look we'll but sgery good Householder
will see to 1t that her pictures, like
her window shades, are hung straight
are kept even. a crooked picture
drives some people with orderly minds
almost to distraction.

Cans Gets Tired.

The fifteenth was the hardest of the fight up to this time Cans caught Mel son with a terrific right on the mouth and nose and brought the blood in q stream. Both were bleeding freely as the round closed, out Cans appeared tired and his blows lacked force.
 To the surprise of the crowd, in the sixteenth Cans rallied and battered Nel- son about the face with every variety of blow, taking a good lead for the round.
 The seventeenth was even and the eigh- teenth was slightly in Nelson's favor. Cans appeared to be tirng at the close, but rallied in the nineteenth and stag gered Nelson with several hard rights, taking the lead for the round.
 The tide of battle turned strongly in Nesons favor in the twentieth and at its close it looked as if Cans would not be able to stand the pace made much longer Nelson fought in like demon. landing some terrible blows on Cans face and body and defeat was written on Cans face as he tumbled into his chair.
 The end came in the twenty-frst round. Nelson sent in rights and lefts to the jaw which staggered Cans, and then de- lvered a rain of blows to the body and head. Cans sought to cover up but Nelson was merciless. He rushed Cans to the ropes and landed practically at finally dropping to the mat, more from weakness than from the force of the blows
 He tried to get up within the ten sec- onds. but was slow, and was counted out.
