The first rule to observe is not to
overhang the sky line. 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.

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

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,

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

AN EFFECTIVE PARTNERSHIP.
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

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 the morning. They were instant'

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

the printing began at once, and by

IN THE EVERGLADES. , .
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

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 !

To Trustees.
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
