By that if meant an imaginary line which ihoold mark the top of the picture Frame. This sky line must take a height commensurate with the size of the room. What that is must be left for the individual to decide. Once determined upon by the placing of one picture, no other frame must rise ibove it. Another rule which 6ome authorities abide by inviolably is that tope )f all frames grouped close together must be on a level, without regard to the sizes. Indiscriminate hanging of picHiitm?that in tn raw hAncintr them, W w?* O O -j in irregular groups?is condemned u bad taste. If small pictures are to be hung in a room where there are larger frames, the former should be grouped into panels corresponding! in outline with the size of the latter, i For instance, two frames 6 by It inches in size should fill the same unount of contiguous space as one frame 12 by 10 inches. The smaller frames should be hung one over the jther. This is in much better form than hanging the large frame bei * ii ? fcweeu ilie iwu BUIQUCI puvuics. ClMnsing Shetland 8hawla. The floes shawls that are now so largely worn in winter as well as summer need to have their freshness restored occasionally, though that j operation is put off as long as pos-1 sible. If not too badly soiled, dry i cleaning with flour or starch is frequently effective, but for real soil: i thorough washing is required. Make a good suds in a large pan, using white soap and a litfle ammonia. Put the shawl in this and, top and squeeze, but do not pull, j rub or lift the mass of wool from the j pan. When the water looks soiled, I pour off. Then add fresh rinsing | water of the same temperature. Repeat this twice. After the second j rinsing squeeze out every bit of moisture possible, still leaving the shawl in the pan. Now set in the warming oven of the range, turnfaf jver and over until the shawl is per* [ectly dry. ? 1 TRAGEDY AVERTED.

One of the most remarkable firm? in the world is that of Ely Bowen and Charles Tripp, the former being minus legs, while the latter is armless. These two men have amassed a fortune m museums and with circuses and have purchased a poultry farm from their earnings. The farm is located near Lincoln, I1L, where Bowen and Tripp raise poultry. Tripp and Bowen arc bosom companions and have been chums almost since childhood. Bowen was born minus legs and fripp minus arms. Bowen has two feet protruding from his hips, which he uses with much effectiveness. Tripp has trained his feet to perform the duties of hands. He can roll a cigarette as well as any man. The favorite pastime of Bowen and Tripp is bicycling. Often they take long rides on their tandem, Tripp working the pedals and Bowen holding the handlebars. ? Chicago Inter Ocean. English Aftsr All. In a comment in a recent issue you state that the phrase "the commenced author" is not English at all. Will vou allow me to point out that in the eighteenth century it was thought not only English, but good English, for it was a favorite expression of Dr. Johnson's? He says of Akenside, "He first commenced physician at Northampton," and uses the same phrase about Sir Bichard Blackmore. He also says of Young, "Whether he ever commenced tutor is uncertain." See "Lives of the English Poets." The expression seems to have been not uncommon in the eighteenth century, though it afterward went out of use till lately revived. Whether this old phrase is an English immigrant returned from America I will not venture to say.?Letter in London Saturday Review. From Troo to Nowapapor. A London writer says that a Qer man paper manufacturer at fcssenthal has just made an experiment to see how rapidly it is possible to transform a tree into a newspaper, Three trees in the neighborhood of his factory were cut down at 7:35 in the morning. They were instant' ly barked and pulped, and the first roll of paper was ready at 9:34. It was lifted into an automobile that stood waiting and conveyed to the machine room of the nearest daily paper. The paper being already set, the printing began at once, and by 10 o clock precisely the journal was on sale in the streets.

Animal Lift It Abundant and Plant Growth Luxurious. The islands of the Everglades of Florida are covered with luxuriant virgin forests. The li^e oaks and the beys are-present in large number*, interspersed with wdt cucumbers, wild lemon nnd wild orange. The papaya, the custard apple and I the prickly ash are of very frequent i occurrence, and here and there, govI erned by the size and elevation of the islands, are the cabbage palmetto and the pine. Wild rubber trees are also found in some localities, growing to enormous size. Throughout the region there is a phenomenal growth of vines. The morning glory and the honeysuckle attain great i _ - ?a 1 a i m\_ _ hize ana are aimosi every wnere. ibb wild fig, which fastens itself about a . massive trunk of live oak or bay, j lives its cannibal life until the sup* j. porting tree trunk has been destroyed. Wherever the land is dry enough the coontie plant flourishes. This plant is really the Florida arrow root. It is the mainstay of the Seminole. From its root he extracts flour and starch, both of which are delicate and digestible. There is a remarkable variety and profusion of wild flowers. Water lilies and spider lilies abound. Orchids are found in great numbers and are of great beauty. On many of the islands grow giant ferns, the fronds of which measure ten feet in length. The shores of the streams by which the glades are entered are covered with rank growths of the cocoa plum. The same tree grows all about the edge of the gladee, producing blue fruit on the eastern edge and white fruit toward the west. The flora of the whole region is unique and unstudied and contains no (igubt scores of plants unknown ana unclassified. The Everglades are not a sports- j man's paradise in the usual sense of that term. Nevertheless animal I life is fairly abundant in that portion of the area where the larger is- ' lands lie. Deer are found on both the eastern and western edges, and ! now and then a bear is seen. The j panther has not entirely disappear * * I I ? " " 'When You Need A Doctor THE BEST IS NONE TOO GOOD.

Your attention is called to some of the recent changes in the school law. The Library Law was amended so that the school raising $10 by private subscription shall not only receive $10 frpm the district and $10 from the ? State, but it shall also receive a $10 book-case to be paid for out of the county funds. Connty Boards are to f approve these cases. This law provides also that the Libraries established last year may be enlarged; if the " schools will raise $5 .the district will give $5 and the State $5. The number of libraries to the county was changed from twelve to twenty five, but the appropriation remains 11 the same, so that the county which " pushes this work most rapidly will secure the greatest number of libraries. iO One of the most important acts, as 1 see it,is the law ? g "To encourage the erection of adequate public school ; buildings." This >c act provides that the county boards of education of the various counties of this State be, and the same are hereby ? authorized to annually set aside from the surplus remaining ffom the net C income derived by the.State from the dispensary profits, an amount equal to 6 per cent of the entire public school funds of their respective counties, which said amounts shall be used by ^ the said county boards of education for - : 1 the purpose 01 encouraging suu numg 11 in the construction of adequate school. buildings in their respective counties. If When the friends, patrons or trustees of any school district shall raise n in any manner funds for building a school house in such district, the county board may turn over to the trustees, ,r~ from funds set aside for such purpose under this act, fifty (#60) dold lars for each one hundred ($100) dollars so raised; provided, no g one school shall receive inoye than three nundred dollars under the provision of this act; provided further, H that more than one school in any one district in any one year shall receive such aid. Preference shall be given to school districts which have consolidated two or more school buildup. Any school availing itself of this act shall comply with the specifications approved by the State board. No f school shall receive such aid without tbe approval of the board. This act to go into effect immediately on its ap- , proval. As nearly as 1 can estimate it j this act makes about #76,000 available each year for the purpose of eucourH aging and aiding the building of school bouses. ? Inasmuch as $100 must be raised for each #60 donated, there will be #226,000 rj available each year for building school houses. This puts a premium on the _ consolidation of schools and I believe " tbe act will result in abolishing many | . small, one-rooui, ill-lurnished school i r hnuiM and in establishing; centralized, I well equipped ones. This act also en- i I. courages uistricts to levy special taxes I and to float bonds and to raise money I- by private subscription. This year for the first time a tax of fifty cents is to be collected on each dog, so the capitation on canines will more than replace every dollar used in aiding the it building of better school houses. As all local tax elections must be held prior to June 1st I hope you will give this matter your immediate at? tention. An act was passed providing that where pupils do not attend day schools, but attend night schools for 7 twenty nights under qualified teachers using the adopted books, that they ?j shall be entitled to enrollment just as ' a* Ko? nitnilc UVUCI William Cooper, Co Supt of Ed.
