Framing Pictures.

The framing and hanging Of pic
lures has become an art. They are
an important decoration OF a room.
In hanging pictures, a study of sur
roundings is necessary, and care
should be taken as TO wall coverings.
Avoid large-patterned papers. The
plain-colored or striped cartridge
papers in rather dark half-tones are
the best backgrounds for pictures.
The walls of room should never be
crowded, and as far as possible, all
pictures should be placed on level
with the eye.
The framing of pictures is so much
a matter OF individual taste that 1t is
impossible to give rules that will ap-
ply in all instances. Oil paintings.
highly colored prints and water col
ors are, as a rule, framed in gilt.
When mats are used upon pictures
great care should be taken to insure
their harmony. Black and white pic
lures should never be mounted in
highly colored mats. There are ways
OF mounting pictures besides framing
them. Passe-partout makes a good
frame.-New York Evening Post.

Newest Paris Sleeves.

The vexed question as to the cor
rect sleeve length has been answered
by one French modiste with no un-
certain voice. Sleeves are to be
long. so long that not only are the
elbows covered. and exc the wrists.
but the points must fall right over
the knuckles. and in some instances
there are actually concealed thumb
holes in the cuffs. through which the
thumbs may be passed in order that
they may help to keep the sleeves
down to their fullest extent"

HISTORICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE
REGION IN ITALY DEVASTATED BY
EARTHQUAKES AND TIDAL WA YES
Messna the Ruined City, 27OO Years Old and Has Had
Many Masters and Catasrophes

152, 900. Next to Palermo, it is the
chief commercial town of Sicily and
It's harbor, which is formed by a
peninsula, is the busiest I'm Italy from
the standpoint of steamboat traffic.
The principal object Of interest to
tourists, apart from the scenic attrac-
tions or the place, is the cathedral,
which was begun in 1898, at the time
or Norman occupation OF the island,
and parts OF which are still standing
as originally constructed with the ex-
ception OF the evidences OF damage
wrought by the frequent earthquakes.
The town Is one of great antiquity,
and derived its first known name,
Zanole Ga sickle), from the shape Of
the harbor. 1t was founded by Gu
maen pirates and Chalcidians in 732
b. c., and was governed by the laws
OF Charondas.
In 396 b. G. the town was de-
stroyed by the Carthaginians, but was
rebuilt q few years later by Dionysius
OF Syracuse only to fall again into
the hands OF the Carthaginians under
Hannibal in 269. The first Punic
war. however left the place in the
hands OF the Romans, and the place
was of Importance second only to that
OF Syracuse and Lilybaeum in Sicily
during a period Of Roman occupation
lasting for several centuries.
In S31 A. ID. the town was taken
by the Saracens, but in 1861 It was
taken from them by the Normans.
The city prospered greatly during the
Crusades, being a favorite rendezvous
for soldiers from the continent en-
route to the Holy Land. In the Mid
die Ages also It became a flourishing
commercial city.
It's commercial Importance disap-
peared after bitter struggle between
the aristocratic faction, or Merli, and
the democratic faction, or MavizZi, in
1874. The democratic faction ap-
pealed to the French and the other to
the Spaniards. The former faction
were at first victorious, but eventual
ly were deserted by the French, the
city was taken by the Spaniards. and
when the struggle was over the popu-
lation was reduced from 10000 TO
| about q tenth OF that number.
The town never fully recovered
from this disaster. Whatever recov-
cry was made was neutralized in the
| eighteenth century by series OF dis
asters. In 1740 about 10000 persons
died OF the plague, and in 1888 the
town was almost entirely overthrow
by the great earthquake OF that year.
Great damage was caused by bonn.
bardment in September, 1S4S. The
cholera carried of no fewer than 16.
900 victims in 1854 and earthquakes
In 1894 and 1906 also caused loss OF
life and property. In 1880 the town
was occupied by Garibaldl. II be.

Cake Batter.

Usually a cake batter Is OF such
consistency that it needs to be spread
in the pan. Sometimes the heat OF
the oven will cause it TO sink to
level before cooking begins, but, as
rule, the batter should be spread with
spoon and drawn away from the
centre Of the pan toward the edges.
Exact proportions of ingredients that
will answer for all cakes cannot be
given. In general, twice as much
-four, by measure, as OF liquid is
safe rule. Eggs are considered a
liquid, but half a cup of milk could
not replace half cup OF eggs. But
ter equal to one-third the volume OF
-four is not often exceeded. From
half to two-thirds the volume Of -four
is the usual proportion Of sugar.

Studied with maps and accounts or
che more recent OF the great earth
quake disasters of Italy, it is seen
that In the latest catastrophe the dis
turbance reached the surface on the
northern border, close TO Swiss terri
tory. Bomodossolo is among the
Alps, and the mountain range seems
70 have been the route OF the earth
quake. It passed TO the southwark,
following the Apennines There Is
twenty minutes difference between
the time OF the shocks reported in
upper and lower italy.
In Calabria, which has been laid
waste again and again by such dis
turbances, this earthquake first
touched the surface with its full
effect. Lofty signal posts OF disaster
marked its way, for 1t struck with
full force at the extinct volcano OF
San Giovanni, spread its devastation
across the Strait of Messina to Sicily
and rolled up another score OF death
and ruin all about the slopes OF
Mount Etna, reducing to ruins the
ancient and famous city OF Messina
and tumbling the buildings Of Catania,
fifty-nine miles farther south, only
TO again overwhelm the busy port
soon afterward with a great tidal
wave.
The spread Of the earthquake In
Sicily and Southern Italy, according
% the cable dispatches, was through
Jery much the same area as that of
he earthquake Of 1878, which was
he most destructive in the history
OF Italy. Then, as now, the earth
quake caused enormous damage on
both sides OF the Strait of Messina,
which separates the toe OF the So
called boot" Of Italy from Sicily.
The historic disaster completely
wrecked the populous seaport OF Mes
siRa in Sicily near the northern end
OF the strait and destroyed many
smaller cities and towns in Southern
Italy and Sicily.
The loss of life In this disaster OF
1888 was estimated at 10000, Mes
sina, a city which is for the most part
but little above the level OF the sea,
suffering terribly-then, as now, from
a tidal wave. The region to the
south OF Messina has also been often
overwhelmed by eruptions from
eastern portion OF the island has been
damaged time and again by eruptions
OF Etna aud very little by earth
Quakes, while the northeastern por-
tion has sustained heavy loss OF life
and property from earthquakes and
very little from volcanic eruption.
Messina, which as in 1888 suffered
the greatest loss OF life and property
from this earthquake, is city and
seaport OF upwards OF $4,000 inhab
itants, while in the commune EN-
bracing the city, suburbs and adjacent

aTeSt Case

Jos. Gendron, Broadway grocer,
was. granted a verdict for S17. 66
against the City of Little Falls. in
payment Of bill of groceries IN the
sum of $l4. 80 and costs, according to q
decision given by Justice Randall

which Mr.. Gendron brought to enforce
the payment by the city of bill of
groceries ordered by the then city
health officer. DR.. E. E. Hall, for the
family of j. L. Bastlen which he
quarantined for smallpox.
The city council would not allow the
bill on the grounds that the health
officer had exceeded his authority In
ordering the goods and having 1t
charged to the city poor fund. The
city contended that the clause in the
state law which reads that the health
officer is empowered to give medical
and other help for the prevention of
disease at the expense of the city, y
does not include food supplies.
As this point has never before been
determined. the city will make test

MAYOR Will USE VETO
Repeal Of Cement Side
walk Rebate Does Not
Meet His Approval

Mayor George F. Moeglein stated to
the Herald yesterday afternoon that
he will today veto the ordinance
which was passed by the city council
at It's meeting Saturday evening,
which would 90 into effect July !, and
would, In effect. DO away with the
allowing of any rebate after that time
on cement walks. The grounds on
which the mayor will veto this
ordinance are that it would be doing
an injustice to the taxpayers of this
city, who have not had their sidewalks
constructed as yet, as it would give
them no time to have their walks con.
structed In time to benefit by the
rebate, and that they should be given
the same privilege as given the others
who have benefited thereby. He holds
that giving till July IS, for the small
sidewalk builders this year, practically
the same as no time at all, as only the
big sidewalk builders would be able to
have the work done in that time. It
IS understood that some OF the alder
men who voted for the ordinance, will
uphold the mayor in his veto.
