AN EFFECTIVE GROUPING OF PICTURES
AND BRIc-A-DRAC.
Of oil paintings, water colors, etchings
and photographs all hung together
In splendid treatise on 1.-THE Prin,
ciples of House Decoration" one of the
best decorators in the profession said
that room needed but little other dec
Grafton If the walls were hung with
fine, well chosen pictures.
A bright girl once remarked, "If I
could see the pictures in their home
could tell what kind Of people they
are"
If we realized the truth of this state
ment and knew how much our pictures
give us away In spite of handsome
furnishings and attractive surround
ings we would view our pictures with
new intelligence.
Pictures show the trend and culture
of our minds as surely as do the books
we read and buy.
We might take a look around our
walls and, enlightened by few prin-
ciples in regard to grouping pictures,
make a vast difference in the attrac-
tiveness of our homes.
First the pictures should be ap-
propriately framed. A great deal can
be learned in this line. every picture,
like woman, has a certain color and
should be framed to harmonize with
the general tone of the picture says
Frank Alvah Parsons, director of the
New York School of Art, in an inter-
view In Good Housekeeping.
Pictures showing large objects,
vivid colors and lively action require
wide, deep frames. Rosa Bonheur's
Horse Fair would look silly in a mar
row, little frame. Quiet pictures take
inconspicuous frames.
Mats are losing favor, and most
pictures look better If framed without
them.
"The sprawling figured wall cover
ings are what kill the pictures in
many houses. A plain cartridge or two
toned paper makes the best back
ground for pictures. Too many pic
lures also kill the effect.
'In the hanging of pictures the size
Of the wall space should govern the
size Of the picture. They should be
hung on the general eye level Of the
people standing in the room.
when several pictures are grouped
they should be placed near enough to-
gether to appear unit"

Pepys and tho Comet.

On Dec. 21, 1864, Pepys, the dlarist,
records, "My Lord Sandwich this day
writes me word that he hath seen at
Portsmouth the comet and says it is
the most extraordinary thing he ever
saw" Again, three days later, he
writes, Having sat up all night till
past 2 o'clock this morning, our porter.
being appointed, comes and tells us
that the bellman tells him that the
star Is seen upon Tower hill, SO l and
my boy to Tower hill, 1t being q most
fine bright moonshine night and a
great frost, but no comet to be seen."
Later the same day, however, Pepys
did see the comet, (which now, wheth-
er worn away or no, know not, ap-
pears not with tail. but only is larger
and duller than any other STAR

A Magnificent Vessel.

In PCS B. c.. Archimedes devised O
marvellous ship for Hero of Syracuse.
Her three lofty masts had been
brought from Britain. Luxuriously
fitted sleeping apartments abounded,
and one Of her banqueting halls was
paved with agate and costly Sicilian
stone. Other floors were cunningly
lnlaid with scenes from the "Iliad."
Stables for many horses, ponds stock
ed with live fish, gardens watered by
artificial nvulets and hot baths were
provided for use or amusement

Our Elastic Globe.

Nothing seems more rigid than the
crust of the earth. but scientific men
tell us that it bends and buckles ap-
preciably under the pull of the heaven
ly bodies. Careful observation has
also shown that the shores on opposite
sides of tidal basin approach each
other at high tide. The weight OF
water In the Irish sea, for instance, is
so much greater at that time that the
bed sinks a trifie and consequently
pulls the Irish and English coasts
nearer together The buildings of Liv-
erpool and Dublin may be fancied as
bowling to each other across the chan
mel, the DETECTION from perpendicular
being about one inch for every six
teen miles. 1t has been shown. too.
that ordinary valleys widen under the
heat Of the sun and contract again at
night. We live not on rigid but an
elastic globe.

In a Maori Weolna HOUSE.

Among the Maoris sometimes In the

covered her head with her robe and
was ashamed. This was not often, as
she generally had managed to ascer-
tain either by her own inquiry or by
sending q girl friend If the proposal
was acceptable. On the other hand,
sometimes a mother would attend and
say, Il want so-and-so for my son."
If not acceptable there was generally
mocking, and she was told to let the
young people have their house (the

PICTURES IN THE HOME.

Refinement Of Household Often IndI.
Gated by Wall Decorations.
In the average home the pictures do
not seem to be considered an impor-
tant part Of the decoration Of the
room.
They are neither selected with care
nor hung with Judgment or any idea
of appropriateness.
Some people put anything on their
walls, like the undertakers wife who
covered her parlor walls with the pic
lures Of the people her husband had
buried
But that collection had a tain
