PICTURES AS. GIFTS.

A picture need not be expensive to be beautiful. The stores are selling copies of the best pictures by great artists and copies of pictures valuable for their tender, noble sentiments or for pleasing colors. The frames are made of odds and ends of stained or polished molding and are in good taste.
 If you took some interesting snap shots last summer of your holiday trips or of your home, which you would like to send to relatives at distance. mount them on the regular photograph cardboard, which may be bought for 8 cents a dozen up. Fasten them togeth- CT in long strip by running a narrow ribbon through holes made in the low CT corners of the mounts. When hung in a long strip on the wall the pic lures add beauty to that particular cor ner of the room and give pleasure to the besolder.
 To mount a water color picture on thin cardboard for framing cut the mat the desired size, place the picture back of 1t and use Q number of strips of paper to join the corners to the thin cardboard. Passe partout is excel lent for the purpose, or the mat ma teriaI may be used. 1t will not wrinkle the cardboard, and pictures so arrang- ed may be carefully rolled. placed in a tube and sent by mail.
 When making picture mats. calen- dars. booklets and other articles of soft cardboard a blemish will some times occur which is difficult to re- move. By rubbing the spot with bread it will disappear. The bread should be fresh and not dry. A putty made with four and ammonia is often used for cleaning white mats.

Five Million Dolls From One Town

About 5,000,000 dolls are turned out In one year at Vincennes. France. The dolls are not dressed there, but are sent to Paris. where several hundred girls, some of whom are fashion ex- perts. clothe them fin the latest styles. Each year prizes are offered for the best design of a doll and for improve ments in the art of manufacturing them. This is one of the reasons why the French doll has reached such a high degree of finish. Scores of wom- en in all parts of the world make their living by dressing dolls and many by designing the clothes for the novelties demanded every year.

HOLD DEER IN REVERENCE
Peculiar Regard for Animal Is Enter tained Throughout the Jap
 anese Empire.

From time immemorial deer have been held in reverent regard by the Japanese. Herds are kept in com pounds, and the highest respec, is paid to the animals. In oden times the shogun gave the people such a strict order to protect the sacred animals that if anyone happened to hurt or Kill them he was put to death on the spot It was period of terror
 Even at the present day the deer are so tame and abundant in the shrine grounds that they, in fine weather stroll round to the streets by twos and threes and surround passers-by, asking for food, and sometimes holding their sleeves in their mouths in an affection ate manner
 Once 8 year some of the deer are caught by means of net with a han de by several tanners Gin service Of the Kasuga Shrine Ofice) and taken to an enclosure, where their splendid horns are cut ofr with a saw. while a crowd of spectators watch the work with breathless interest Admission ten sen, equal to about 3 cents). This done, some of the sacred horns are, as a custom, awarded to the spectators by means of lottery.

Origin of Word Strike"

The earliest use of tho word strike" in the sense of stopping work, occurs In the London Chronicle for September, 1765, in connection wi l. a coal strike. The publication rnPorts great suspension of labor iA the Northumbrian coal fields, and t,o c0liicrs are stated to hare struck out" for higher bounty before enter ing into their usual yearly bond" The time -honored illustration of profit less labor, carrying coals to Newcas- tle." appears to have received it's first slap in the face during this strike. The Chronicle reports that several pokes of coal were brought from Dur ham to Newcastle by one of the com mon carriers, and sold on the sand bills for 9d a poke, by which he cleared Sd a poke"

Tricks of the Badoer,

So widely do the holes of badgers ramify that Col Afford Lucts. a Brit ish sportsman, had force of eight men digging for ten days and finally abandoned the attempt to come up with the badgers. It is believed that badgers spring traps by rolling over them on their back. The operation has been observed by many credible witnesses, to say nothing of the ire quent discovery in traps of hairs from badgers backs. Among their fa- vorite foods is honey. At the London zoo one may often see a visitor with a pot Of honey scraping out the sweet with a walking stick and then giving the end of the stick to badgers to suck. Formerly badger meat was priZed in England the hind quarters being made into hams, which, when cured. were said to be as good as the best bacon Badger meat is an un- common article diet in England at present.

Paid for Ills interruption.

Rodger, the great French tenor was a sensitive soul. and was prone to take orfense at any slight, whether inten- tional or not.
 On one occasion he was engaged to sing at the house of a wealthy f1nan- cier. Rodger sang his first song mag nificently but no one paid the slight est attention to him, and the guests continued to talk their loudest.
 Presently the host thought the time had come for another song, and sent for Rodger. He could not be found. Next day there came note from him. accompanied by 1,500 francs. The note ran something like this:
 "I have the honor to return the twelve hundred francs which l re- ceived for singing at your function i; and beg leave to add three hundred francs thereto for having so disturbed the conversation of your guests

 She spent the afternoon shifting and went to bed. tired Her son, at night called her up over the tele- phone, but could get no response. A little later his office telephone rang and his mother asked;
 We're you ringing me-"
 Yes, he said. Why didn't you auswer?"
 "I heard the bell ringing I thought it was you and I got up to answer but l could not find the telephone.
 Why didn't you turn on the light?'

MUCH POWER IN SUGGESTION
Extends to the Curing of Physical Ills If One Will Persevere in
 Treatment.

By the method known as "sugges- tion." it is possible (according to a medical writer) not only to perform the simple experiment. of waking one self at a given hour fn the morning, but also to banish all minor physical ailments and even to correct faults in the character.
 Just as in the first instance the ex- perimenter before going to sleep at night makes a mental request to him. self that he shall awake at a certain time on the following morning, so in more important matters he suggests to himself a condition of health or a method of conduct.
 To take two instances. Supposing you suffer from insomnia, you focus your whole attention upon the repe- tition four times a day of a given for mula. Thus you may say to yourself that you trouble no more about the matter, merely repeating the state ment at intervals. In two or three days at most the eifect-according to the authority-will be felt in sound slumbers
 Much the same process is adopted where 1t Is desired to break onself of a bad habit
 The theory Is that the remark or statement is addressed to your uncon- scious mind. which responds to your desires when expressed in this way

OLD LONDON AND ITS ALE
Matter That Was Taken Most Seri- ously in the Past, and Authori-
 ties Were WatchfuI

The publication of official figures to prove that London is drinking more reminds one how careful the authori- ties were in the past lest the Lon- doner should miss his full share of ale. In the sixteenth century, for in stance, the brewer who ceased to brew was faced with the loss of his of any of the saide brewers, or their frowarde and perverse myndes, shall at any time hereafter sodenly for beare and absteyne from bruying, whereby the kings subjects should be destitute or unprovided of drynke, he knew exactly what to do. The city council was empowered to take over the business as a going concern, and to take measures to see that 1t was kept going.
 The cry then anu for centuries after was all for beer There is record of a petition of 1873. for instance, pray ing that tea. coffee ands brandy be banned The petitioners reasoned that the laborers needed good strong beer and ale" which refreshed their bodies, and neither did them prejudice nor hindered their work Besides, it cost little, and was the product of home grown grain. whereas the uew-fangled drink was expensive and destroyed his majestys subjects, not agreeing with their constitution" - London Chronicle
