DADO OF PHOTOGRAPHS.

Ways to Make the Mostof Your Collection } of simall Priuts,

Dicture framing is always expensive, Ony frame is not such an item, but when it comes to adozen photographs, water colors or engravings, one stands aghast at

| the total ¢ In many new houses } frames go in with the rent, so to speak. ! in rooms which are wainscoted, lengths | of glass are placed so that the upper mold- | ing forms the base of the frame and an-

st,

} Other molding is placed at the top to | hold the glass. How dear to the heart ; are the hundred photogranhs collected | abroad! What more calculated to give

constant joy than these ‘‘allin a row’’ around the library or over a bookshelf in } one’s own den?: These may .be slipped behind the glass, as the molding is easi- ly removed, and thus a dado is alltoadmire. If a separation is desired a& narrow molding to match is easily ob- } tainable. A firm hand with a penknife and a few tacks only are needed, and a room is transformed.

Another way is one molding placed half way between floor and ceiling, with the photographs set upon it, and a long ribbon in the tene of the room is stretch- ed adove and holds them in place.

A charming effect is obtained in form ing a background of velvet, its own width, and fastening pictures, simply framed in passepartout, weon it, with

large headed brass tacks.

In a young girl’s room, recently ‘‘done’’ by a well known decorator, the only color was yellow. A few fine engravings were framed in white and gold, but the wires by which they were suspended were cover- ed with yellow ribbons and the hooks were hidden by a huge rosette.

HE LOVED HIS HORSE.

A Striking Tribute of Loyalty on the Part ae ofa Stable Boy.

“You wouldn't belicve,’’ said a horse owner the other night at Ingleside, ‘‘how attached a stable boy usually becomes to a horse which is his own particular charge. I've got a fairly govl colt in my string, and the lad who rubs him thinks more of that colt than of anything on the face of the earth. There’s never a hair in his mane or tail in the wrong p'ace, and the colt has better attention than nine out of ten children. The boy thinks it impossible for other horses to beat the colt, and when he ran second once he swore the jockey pulled him. He actually believes that if Salvator were running now my colt would make him look like a selling plater.

‘‘A short time ago the lad had a couple of weeks’ wages paid over to him, and as soon as he got the money he asked per- mission to go down to the city. When he camo back he brought with him a brand- new linsey for the colt. It had cost him most of his two weeks’ wages, but he said the old one was getting a little bit rusty, and he wanted to have the colt fitted out right.’’

Which Kind of a Husband Are You?

There is scarcely a husband who, dur- ing the past four months, has not urged his wife to learn to ride «a wheel. There is scarcely a husband of the lot who does not now regret that he so urged her. He has found that is has added to his nervous impairment in the ratio of about fifty per cent, and in addition thereto he has caught the ‘‘husband_ neck.’’ This strange malady is caused by the constant eraning of the neck, generally to the left to see if the wife of one’s bosom is safe. Even after the husband has found that his wife has really become a skilled rider the habit remains. He can no more help turning his head at short intervals than

he can held imagining that all sorts of dire disasters are befalling her. And there seems to be no cure forthis. The

natural one to suggest would be that a man’s wife should ride ahead of him, But no man, as yet, could possibly con- sent to this, both because it is his nature to lead, and also because he would thus expose his wife to the dangers of the road and side path, which he might avert by being in the lead. As yet the disease has only attacked those who are really fond of their wives. To what extent it will spread is, of coumse, dependent upon the num ber of such husbands. -- Brooklyn Life.

Looking for Comets,

The appearance of a new comet in the skies last month attracted a good deal of attention from astronomers. ‘The fact is that just at present we are very badly in want of a great comet. Since the magnifi- cent apparition which bears the name of Donati in 1858, astronomers have reyo- lutionized the practical methods of their science. Photographic processes then undreamt of are now the familiar auxili- aries to the observatory. The develop ment of the spectruscope also, in its ap- plication to the disvovery of the materia! constituents of the heavenly bodies is of a growth subsequent to the autumn of 1858,

There can be no doubt that the next great comet which does vouchsafe its presence in our skies will be received with a welcome which has never before been accorded to any celestial object what- ever.—Sir Robert S. Ball, in London Graphic.

More is Necessary.

It has been said that men have got to be loved into the kingdom, not thought into it; but this does not state the whole truth. They must be both ‘‘loved’’ and ‘*thought into it’’; yea, more, must be brought into it. Andrew was hot con- tent with either loving or thinking about his brother, but conducted Peter to Jesus. The apostles had love and thought for sinners, but rested not until

they had done their utmost to bring them into saving connection with Him who alone can save. Mind, heart and

effort must be unitedly enlisted in hu- man redemption,

The Spider Tree. Dr. Welwitsch, who has recently explor- ed the country about Cape Negro, in Africa, tells of a curious plant called the spider tree. It grows on windy plains, its stem attaining a diameter of four feet, although it does not exceed one foot in height. It puts out two leaves, each six ur eight feet in length, and these are split by the whiffing of the wind into a num- ber of stiff, narrow ribbons, bearing no little resemblance to the legs of a gigantic spider. This resemblance becomes start- ling when a strong breeze puts the leg- like leaves into rapid motion, and the negroes shiveringly exclaim that the great spider is struggling to get loose.

Some Curious Scottish Prayers,

No country in the world has produced such a plentiful crop of curious prayers as Scotland, where extempore prayer is the rule among the Presbyterian clergy. Doubtless a great many of the prayers which one sees in the papers fathered upon the clergy of the Land of Cakes are apocryphal], but those quoted in this ar- ticle are undeniably authentic.

** Preacher Geordie,’'an eccentric itiner- ant minister, who was famous | Seotland at the boginning of the present

| Was also noted for his original prayers. } On one ecccasion he ostentatiously as- cended the pulpit of a country church ; with his fiddle—his inseparable com- | panion—under hisarm. He then very devoutly set about aiding the precentor by means of the instrument in raising the tune among the congregation—for the vigil- ance of his suspicion was extreme—he took oce1sion in his prayer, where, as he often said, he found himself least straitened, to express himself in these or like terms: ‘‘Good Lord, Thy people —Thine own peculiar, chosen people of old—were wont to praise Thee with tab- or and with harp, with sackbut and psal- tery; and Thy douce and loyal servants were seen dancing and skipping and snapping their fingers to Thy praise, and weel they were rewarded for it. But now- adays nothing will serve us but sighing and groaning, and squealing and howl- ing out dismal psalm tunes, wi’ feet nailed to the yird, and faces an ell lang, and muckls disloyalty in our hearts aftera’! Gif Thy blessing reach us, it maun surely be mair by Thy favor than ourain guid guiding, I trow!’’

Geordie’s prayer for the magistracy of Lochmaban was formerly far-famed. **Lord,’’ said he, **we pray Thee to re- member the magistrates of Lochmaben, such as they are!’’

An eccentric Argyleshire minister, no'ed for the same propensity as the Reverend Geordie, began service one Sun- day morning, after a spres the night before, with the following pithy and original prayer: ‘*‘O Lord, what are we this morning but a parcel of easy osies? Grant us, a big meat house, and a wea wrought house, and mountains o’ preed, and, cheese, and whisky like Loch mond, and puild a muckle us and tho tevil.’’

Whatever may have been his other de- ficiencies, a former minister of the Cum- lraes (two mere specks of islands in the Firth of Clyde), seems not to have been wanting in local patrio ism, as he wae wont to conclude his weekly Sunday prayer wiih the following petition: ‘*O Lord, have merey cn Thy servants, the denizens of Great and Little Cumberae, as also the inhabi-ants of the adjacent islands of Great Britain and Ireland.’’

A well-knewn Lanarkshire minister of the old school, recently deceased, was so sensitive to any suspicion of plagiarism that he never ailowed himself to make the slightest quotation without giving his authority. He was accustomed to as- semble his household every morning for family worship, snd on one occasiou he commenced his devotions thus: ‘‘O Lurd we heartily thank Thee that we have been awakened from the sleep whicha writer in the Edinburgh Review has called the image of death.’’

We will conclude with the following story related by a well-known Glasgow D.D.: The doctor, in company witha vrother clerygman,was spending a vaca- tion in Cumberland, and on the first sunday of their stay they attended divine servica in a little Scotch kirk in the vi- cinity, taking the precaution to sit ina remote corner, s0 that the officiating minister should not notice them. But the eagle eye of the minister detected them and in the intercessory prayer he so ex- ‘pressed himself as to make quite sure of some uid from them. The good man’s words were these: *‘Lord, have mercy on "hy ministering servants who have look- ed in upon us so wiexpectedly; one of whom will prevch in the afternoon, and the other in the evening.’’ —Belfast ‘Weekly News.

SOCIABILITY OF INZIANS.

They are Fond of Paying Secial Vi-lis Among Themselves, (

Indians, opinions, are of a social nature, and fond of paying friendly visits, the etiquette of which would make achapter of itself.

of their going while in the dust of travel, but when arrived within a short distance of their destination a halt is called, the pomies are rclieved of their burdens, the rawhide packs are opened, and gala dress-

es and fine ornaments come to lignt. Tho two young men selected to be the bearers of gifts of tobacco deck them- selves for their mission and ride on in advance. <A surprise party is not in the

Indian’s list of amusements; he takes his enemy unawares, but not his friend. The young men return with messages of welcome; sometimes members of the family to be visited come with them per- sonally to conduct the party.

Meanwhile, all hava been busy prink- tng; brushing and braiding their locks, painting their faces, and donning their kest gear, the wide prairie their dressing room, their mirror each other’s eyes. When the visiting party isagain en route, there is not a man or woman who is not

gorgeous with colorand the glitter of shell or feather finery. Even the child- ren have daubs of fresh paint on their

plump little cheeks. whils the dudes are wonderful to behold, resplendent in neck- laces, embroiderei leggings, and shirts, and with ornaments innumerable braid- ed into their scalp locks. The visit over, the Indians go back .o their homes pleas-

absence. —‘‘ Tribal Life Among the Oma- has,’’ by Alice C. Fletcher, in the Janu- ary Century.

HOW TO CANDLE EGGS.

It Requires Considerable Practice to Exeel in This Operation,

Have a room as dark as you can or use

a box 12 by 16 inches in size painted black

inside. Stand on its end and open one side 8 inehes from the bottom. All above 8 inches closed, set box with this

open side towards you and set the light in it. Nail a piece to bottom, under front edge, with the top of box back, this will enable you to see better. This box can be used in any place, though it is better in a dark place. Take such light as you have; the best candlers use common candles. Take two or three eggs in left hand and the eggs you candiein right hand, and hold sideways between you and the liglrt, as close to the light as you can, and let it rub against one of the eggs in left hand; sume are quite particular about this, as the eggs reflect the light through each other; turn the egg round until you are satisfied you have tested it. Take a strict- ly fresh egg as a stan‘lard to judge by. If an place like the vacuum in a mason’s spirit level appears on the upper side as you turn the egg, it is not strictly fresh ; though if this vacuum is small and the egg is all right otherwise it may be compara tively fresh, A dark or black spot in- dicates a poor egg: the white of stale eggs also looks thin and watery. Remember dark-shelled egzs are thicker shelled and do net candle as easily as white ones. You can only learn by breaking suspici ous ones, and it requires much practice to excel. —Charles W. McQueen, in Farm and Home

Where Sound Travels,

Eighteen miles is the longest distance on record at which @ man’s voica has been heard. This cccurred in the grand canyon of the Colorado, where one man snouting the nume of Bob at one end, his voice was plainly heard at the otherend, which was eighteen miles away. Lieut. Foster, on Peary’s third Arctic expedi- tion, found that he could converse with a man across the harbor of Port Powen, a distance: of 6696 feet, or about one mile and a quarter; and Sir John Franklin said that he had conversed with ease at a distance of more than a mile. Dr. Youig record; that aw Gib- raltur the human voice has been heard at a distance cf ten milea. Sound has retnarkable force in water. Colladon, by experiments made in the Lake of Geneva, estimated that a b. ll submerg- ed in the sei mizit b: heard at a dis- tance of more flan six y miles. Frank- lin says thay pe heard ibs striking to- gether of two stones in the water half a mile away. Over water or a surface of ics sound is propagated with great clearness and strength. Dr. Hutton re- lates that on a quiet part of the Thames, near Chelsea, be could hear a person read distinetly at a distance of 140 feet, while

away from the Water the same could not be heare.

Persons in a balloon can hear voices from the earth along time after they

themselves are inaudible to people below. —Caicago Times- Herald.

Destined for Success.

A few days agoa business man on High street, New Bodford, Mass., adver- tised fora boy. Among the replies re- ceived by mail was one which read as follows: ‘*Dear Sir,—I want the place. My parents is ded and I got to hustle. Beets hell how hard times is. Yoors trooley, William ——.’’ Being a man of shrewd businegs sagacity, the merchant engaged him by the next mail. I had considerable interest in the c:reer of this eltterprising young man, and a few days af.er called at the store to see how he preg vessed. He had one black eye end a pronounced Jimp and a generaliy broken- up appearare>. fle had been in the business but two days, and in that time pad thrashed the porter of the store, fal- len down stairs into the cellar and had won $2.50 from the boys pitching cop- pers; had also shown up on time cvery day and got in a full days work. If this young man is not destined fora great commercial career then all signs fail.— New York Herald.

Her Own Mistress.

‘“‘I¢ I were living my life over,”’ said an unmarried woman of 50 the other day, | ‘“when I reached the age of 25 I should ask my father to give me one of his little houses, of which he owned a good many, and let me goandliveinit. When a girl grows intoa woman her instinct leads her to long to be at the head of her own home, whether she is married or un- married. To be absolute mistress, even of a single room in a lodging house, after a day of toil 1s often better to her than to be under the absolute control of her parents ig a comfortable home, and this, even though there may he the tenderest love between them. Few mothers at least ever quite outgrow a sense of arbitrary groprietorship in their daughters, and few daughters between the ages of 25 and 4@ cap be thoroughly contented in any home of which they are not mistress, however patiently and nobly they may voneea) their feelings. After 40 they are often so tired as to be glad to be relieved of # | responsibility.’”’

Counterfeits

A few years ago agreat discovery was made.

Unprincipled persons are trying to prey upon and dupe people who are led to ask for kidney treatment.

Some of the methods adopted by imitat- ors are as follows:

First—To imitate the size, color and shape of Dodd’s Kidney Pills and sell them by count.

nearly the same and to be offered at the same price.

Third—To hook on the word “kidney” in naming cathortic pills so as to increase sales of mere physic.

Fourth—To givea name so near to Dodd’s that unwary people may be deceiv- ed and think they are getting Dodd’s.

Look out for such dodges. When you want kidney medicine you want the be-t. And ought not to be the subject for any trick.

So beware.
