Some SUGGESTIONS.


As general rule, a picture should
be hung SO that the middle will fall
about the level of the eye of person
Of average height.
People who are fortunate enough
TO possess both oils and water colors
do not hang them on the same walls.
Large pictures need distance to give
the proper effect OF perspective. II
they must be hung in small rooms,
good result is obtained by hanging
them opposite doors.
A sideboard cover in coarse gray
linen has border of stiff poplar
trees embroidered in cross stitch to
match the design of a unique frieze.
When possible. II is good plan
to hang pictures without wires on
any visible support. 1t wires must be
used they should be Of the smallest
size consistent with the weight Of the
picture.
The ivory and green cretonne bought
to fit up green and white summer
bedroom proved a dire failure at the
irst washing. 1t is advisable to test
samples of such materials before in
Ivesting in large quantities.

Washable Rugs.

Washable rugs are very much the
thing just now for bedroom floors
The especial favorite is the rag car,
pet variety. which must be sent away
for weaving.
So industrious women are plating
just such oval mats as used to lie al
the foot OF grandmother's stairs. These
can be made entirely at home.
Materials are cut in strips half an
inch to an inch and one-half in width
according to the thickness of the
cloth
Then they are braided in the usual
three stranded way. the thin wide
strips making just the same thickness
as the narrow heavy strips.
1t is best to braid in uneven lengths
so that the niecing will be distributed
and to braid only yard at a time
so that the edges will not become
frayed.
After a yard or two is braided, II Is
a good plan to begin to shape the
rug. round or oval, and sew the edges
firmly together. When all of the
braiding is done first, it is apt to
twist and tangle in the sewing.

THE BULLETINS CRITICS.

Some remarks were made at the
Commercial club meeting Tuesday
night which call for editorial attention
from The Bulletin, because they re-
llected upon this paper and its editor
They we're made in the presence of
the latter who made no reply at the
time feeling that the business before
the meeting was of such overwhelm-
ing Importance for the. good of the
community that it ought not to be in
terupted by discussion OF matters
not Immediately connected with it.
As an individual the editor of this
paper cares nothing at all for what
was said. His personality does not
enter into the controversy. He
is merely one of many thousands try
ing to do the work that he is called
upon aud naid to do--to the best of
his ability. But the newspaper With
which he happens TO be connected,
and the men who own it and tun,
der whose direction he does his work
these may not be attacked with i'm
punity through him. for they are men
of AFFAIRS In the community and then
paper is semi-public institution.
At the meeting above referred to
Alderman Meehan made the state
ment. in speaking Of the charges oil
graft that had been made against the
police department of Cairo. that the
only graft he had ever heard of was
that In which the newspapers of the
city We're engaged, being an agree
ment under which the bids for city
printing were made without that fair
and olfen competition which is CON
templated by the law, and under
which The sums paid by the city for
city printing were pooied and partiallr
divided between the bidders, Perhaps
Mi Meehau could, If he tried real
hard, recall, some other cases Of graft
in which the guilty parties stood
closer 10 him officially and otherwise
than the newspapers do But this Is
another matter. Alderman Meehan
told the truth about the newspaper
graft, as far as he went but in so far
as what he said reflected upon the
present owners or editor of The Bulle-
tin, on. any, one else now connected
with the paper, he told lie and he
