The Hanging of Pictures.

In hanging pictures the guiding
principle as to height is the level OF
the eye, but combined with that are
equally important considerations OF
size, shape and color, in relation both
to wall spaces and to each other. The
inclination seems to be to hang pic
lures too high, giving an impression
of being 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 space, with a thought
only for the proper height and light
ing, the problem Is comparatively
simple one. The eye must rest di
rectly upon it; it must not give the
impression of weighing heavily upor
the piece of furniture beneath mol
must it float off into space above
The shape must harmonic with the
shape of the piece of furniture be
meath, as well as with the space
That the dark places must be Lighted
up with the light pictures and thu
dark photographs hung in the higi
lights can easily be seen.-Harpert

Convention and was elected by ma
jority of 1869. This is probably the
largest majority received by any
member of the Legislature.
When the bill was up in the House
some days ago to change the line be-
tween Wilkes and Ashe Counties, Mr..
Caudill opposed the bill and was ask
ed by some of the Democratic MEM
bers If there was any politics in the
matter. He told them no; he could
give them a thousand of his majority
and then beat them. The Represen-
tative from Ashe asked him If the
Republican sheriff of Wilkes was not
in favor of the proposed change. Mr..
Caudill answered that he was not
representing the sheriff of Wilkes,
but the people of the entire county
He introduced bill 20 regulate the
pay of States witnesses and take the
matter out of the hands of specula-
tors. His bill was passed, and applies
only to Wilkes County. Mr.. Caudil

Trials.

You, from out whose life blessings
have flown
That left you bare and lone;
Fill your wants with loving kindness
shown
To those sufferers who fret and groan
Under ruins which trials have strown
In worse wreck than your own.
You, whose soul in mutiny has
grown
Sordid and hard like stone;
Think of Him on whom the dim stars
shone
Coldly in the Garden, when, without
He endured His trials all Alone
And then give Him your own.
You, who chant the dirge OF hopes
o'erthrown,
In melancholy tone;
Tune your heart to those strains that
are known
To the white-robed hosts around
Gods throne,
Whose garlands were by trials blown,
And thank God for your own.

GREAT FLEET BREAKS UP.
Go to Their Various Stations-Will
Meet in Hampton Roads Again on
Nav ~

1ss
Fort Monroe, Va, Feb. 27.-Of-
ficers and men who made the voyage
of the world viewed with feelings of
keen regret the further breaking up
of the American battle fleet to-day.
Three of the ships that helped to win
for the United States Navy the admi-
ration of the nations of the two
hemispheres, sailed away to navy
yards, making five gaps in all in the
long lines of anchored squadrons.
Other ships are to go tomorrow and
by Monday it is thought that only the
eight ships which are to furnish a
brigade of marching blue jackets for
the inaugural parade at Washington,
will be left in the roadstead.
The going away of the ships at this
times means more than mere tenn
porary distribution of the four di-
visions. 1t means the last of the
great white fleet When the ships
of the reorganized fleet rendezvous
here on May 18th, they will all ap-
pear in a new dressing of service
gray and the homogeneous vessels
which even now puzzle the ordinary
observer to distinguish between the
classes, will look more like than ever

Washington, D. c., Feb. 26.-The
declaration of principles adopted
by the North American Conserva-
ton Conference which has just con-
Guided it's work here in which GER
tain recommendations are made for
the conservation of the natural re-
sources of the United States, Canada
and Mexico, were to-day transmit
by President Roosevelt to Congress.
After pointing out that the con-
ference not only performed with
marked efficiency and entire unani-
nifty the important duties which
devolved upon it, the President in
his letter of transmission de-
clared that cit has suggested a still
wider field of useful action" The
President then refers to the sugges-
ton made by the conference on con-
servation and says that, acting upon
this suggestion, he has addressed
such an invitation to the nations of
the world Tin confident belief that
such meeting will foster the inter-
ests of every nation, will injure
those of none and will confirm and
strengthen in us all the belief that
the good of each is likewise the COM
mon good of ALL
The establishment of a permanent
conservation commission in each of
the three countries, perhaps, is one
of the most important recommends
lions of the conference.

Shakespeare on Prayer.

The most significant thing about
a man is his prayer. All other viz
tues will be Influenced by this. He
is never so potent as when talking
to God, never so sublime. BY it he
comes into possession of all that God
has for him. If man prays Alright,
he is likely to talk, act, give and
live Alright.
But prayer has it's hindrances,
which should be known in order to
be avoided. Few, If any, secular
writer's have given us so vivid pic
ture of the principal hindrance to
prevailing prayer as Shakespeare has
done in the character of Claudius,
King of Denmark (Hamlet, Act 3,
Scene 81.
The King is alone with his consci-
ence. He is filled with remorse
when he remembers that his murder
of his brother was not an offense
against Hamlet only, but against
God:
"Oh, my offense is rank; it smells to
heaven
In it is the curse the Almighty
pronounced on Cain:
ut hath the primal eldest curse
upon't,
A brothers murder"
Filled with pungent remorse he
wonders whether he can not find re-
lief in prayer His sin is against
God; to God he must pray. But
pray can I not,
Though inclination be as sharp as
will
But why can he not? Because
My stronger guilt defeats my strong
intent"
But if he has sinned, is there not
mercy with God sufficient for the
most crimson spot that sin car
make?
What if this cursed hand
Were thicker than itself with broth.
er's blood,
Is there not rain enough in the sweet
heavens
To wash it white as snow?"
Claudius is right in his conception
of Gods abundant mercy, and abun
dant provision for sin. He right!
conceives the end for which tina
mercy is given:
"Whereto serves mercy
But to confront the Visage of of
fense?"
He has sufficient faith in prayer tt
believe that through it this mercy il
made effective in the individual.
"And what's in prayer but this two
fold force
To be forestalled ere we come tt
fall,
Or pardon'd being DOWN."
With this confidence he decides t,
look up" to God. But he does no
know what to say. Will he
Forgive me my foul murder?"
No. for he is still in possession O
the things for which he did the crue
wrong. There has been no restitu
ton, and he sees that until wrong
are righted as far as may be, hi
prayer will be of no avail:
That can not be; since I am still
possessed
Of those effects for which I did tn,
murder,
Ny crown; my own ambition, AM
my queen,
May one be pardoned, and retain
the offense?"
