"Yes , I bane pictures for a living , nnd

was MISB Josephine Pcntlnnd , n llttlo blonde
woman who , although the protested she wna
well on In her twenties , hardly looked old
enough to bo paat her early teens.
"I never consider a job for less than $10 , nnd
often receive ten times ten. You see , so few |
persons understand the proper hanging of I
pictures. Of course , where they have n lot j
of money and can employ a distinguished |
nrtlst or first-class decorator , they have no
reed for me. But It Is the people of moder
ate means to whom I am useful. Do you
know , as a rule euch persons hang pictures j
according to their eye , putting them In ;
upaccs where they will lit and make as much
show ni possible.
"It seems Impossible to make thorn under
stand that each room or part of n room
should ba Invested with an Idea that can
bo attained by the artistic arrangement of
pictures on the wall. Engravings should bo
hung with engravings , etchings with etchIngs -
Ings , photographs -with photographs nnd
paintings with paintings. They can not bo
distributed simply no regards size , colors or
framing. Last week I was called Into a
house , and found a superb collection of
Japanese prints simply killing , some flno
npe6lmcns of a famous water colorlst's work.
The owner cxplrtlned that ho know the pic
tures were all coed 'because they had cost
big prices , nnd had been bought nt the nd-
vlco of friends whoso artistic taste could
not be questioned.
"Then ho complained that , as visitors
never seemed Impressed with the beauty of
his collection , ho had sent for me.
"There were a number of prints nnd
water colors In every ono of his rooms , all
grouped together according to size. Taken
ns a whole , the frames wore not bad , eo I
managed to use them , separating and re-
hanging so that they followed up the Idea
Riven to the apartment by the pictures.
One can readily see how different the hang

hhould bo from ono decorated with Jap
prints. That man was the moat grateful
customer I have ever had , nnd I am sure
would have paid double the amount asked.

MARIA. TERESA. UREA.
Rcuinrknlilr Mexican Girl Who In Now
with the Yiuiul Indian * .
The young Mexican girl , Maria Teresa
Urea , who is devoutly believed by the Mexi
can Catholics to bo endowed with divine
power , is now somewhere among the Yaqul
Indians in Sonora , Mexico , and , although
they nro the fiercest tribe In that republic
and irreconcilable In their hostility to the
whites , 'they revere her as a priestess and
obey her as if she were their queen. There
Is something strange about "Santa Teresa , "
as they call her , relates the Chicago Record.
She is a modest , unassuming Mexican girl ,
the daughter of a email .farmer in Sonora ,
with very llttlo education , but at an early
ago she developed remarkable hypnotic or
mesmeric powers , which caused the Ignorant
peasants to look upon her as more than
human. A touch of her hand is believed to
be a euro for every mortal evil and ono of
her prayers of intercession a passport to
Paradise. She does not claim divine power ,
hut confesses that she docs not understand
the source of her influence. Her family
were Catholics , hut she has never been strict
in her ohservanco of her religious duties. At
the same 'time eho recocnlzes that there Is
something- within her that elves her the
unusual Influence that she enjoys.
In 1S90 I saw her at El Paso , a plain-
looking girl of 21 or 22 years , In a speckled
calico dress and coarse shoes , with a black
shawl thrown over her head. Her hair fell
n two > bralds to her waist and she looked
much younger than she really was. She was
then living under the care ot a gentleman
named Asulrre , the editor of the Mexican
paper El Paso , having been compelled < o
leave Mexico by the authorities , who ac
cused her of trying to Incite a revolution , A
band ol fanatics somehow got a notion that
eho was to bo the mother of Montezuma , the
long-looked-for Messiah who is to liberate
tbo peens from servitude and restore the
splendor of the empire that Cortez plundered
and overthrew. Restless and dissatisfied pol
iticians took advantage of the mania , and , in
the name of Saint Teresa , organized a revo
lution in Sonora and attacked the custom
house and barracks at Negates.

some encouragement , tor he Is an exile and
Is "wanted" by the Mexican police. But I
was assured that Teresa wns not Involved In
any way. Trustworthy people told me lhat
she was Just an ordinary sort of girl , without
any special force of character or Intellect ,
Ml possessed of n mysterious power like that
of tbo magnetic girl who came out of Georgia
n few years ngo nnd seemed to have the
strength of a locomotive In her slender fin
gers. Santa Teresa hns some such physical
peculiarity , which gives her a mesmeric
influence over { iconic to whcm It may lie
applied , and she has cured hundreds of sick
nnd lama and blind. The .Mexicans hang
her portrait over their llttlo shrlnca beside
that of the Virgin Mary , but when wo talked
with her she laughed at the sucKcntlon of
her divinity nnd Indignantly denied that ehe
was to bo the mother of the redeemer ot the
Aztec race. She Is now living among the
Yaqul Indians In an obscure mountain vll-
Ingo In Sonora , which Is constantly visited
by pilgrims and sick people In search ot her
healing power.
MORU llACIir.l.OUH THAN MAIDS.
TJninnrrlcil Mrn Arc Morn Nnmcrnun
Thrill Arc SliiRlc Women.
It appears that people generally are
greatly mistaken In their notion that there
Is an enormous surplus of unmarried women
In this country. The truth Is that no such
excess of spinsters exists , reports the Cln-
clnnatl , Enquirer ; In fact , It Is quite the
other way , the bachelors outnumbering the
maidens. At the present moment there are
In the United States 2,200,000 more unat
tached males than females similarly situ
ated , the cxnct figures being 5,427,767 bache
lors ngnlnst 3,224,494 spinsters of ages from
20 years up. Thus It Is obvious that If girls
do not find husbands It Is not for lack of
a plentiful supply of the article. What la
required , seemingly , Is a general mlgrntlon
of spinsters from the ) north nnd cast to the
great and growing west , In parts of which
there are ten available mates for ever maid.
From the last remark , however , It must
not bo Inferred that there Is actually nn ex
cess of unmarried women In the northern
and eastern states. Even In those parts of
the country there are more bachelors than
spinsters 20 years old and upward , not
withstanding the theory to the contrary so
widely accepted. No state In the union has
as many maidens as bachelors not oven
Massachuctts , where the figures are 210,255
spinsters , against 226,083 bachelors. Mas
sachusetts la the banner state for spinsters ,
the bachelors outnumbering them by only
two-tenths of 1 per cent. Next comes
Rhode .Island , where- the excess of bachelors
Is 2 per ccnf The excess of bachelors In
the District of Columbia is 8 per cent , In
North Carolina 9 per cent , In Now Hamp
shire 9 per cent , In Connecticut 20 per cent ,
In Maine 37 per cent and In Vermont 51 per
cent. In 'Maryland ' the bachelor surplus Is
19 per cent , In Now Jersey it Is 22 per cent ,
In Now York It Is 26 per cent and In Vir
ginia It Is 22 per cent. All of these are low
percentages BO far as the superiority ot
bachelors in point of numbers is concerned.

The attempt recently made by an eastern

There are about eighty-five styles of

Is with the wlcka. This Is a crucial test

It Is ono -which would try Job himself. Ro-

morning ; "the " charred portion , which In

stance which forms on the tubing around
the wick all thcoa arc exasperating trials.
All those may easily be overcome by a
few simple rules , so that almost any lamp
will give satisfaction.
First , ho careful to see that the -wick
space , or tube , Is perfectly straight and
even , so that the wick will not bind any
where. Next see- that the draught supply
is perfect and adequate to support a largo
flame. Also do not neglect to have the
reservoir at least two-thlrda full of oil.
Lamps are many times 'blamed ' for giving a
poor light when the whole fault lies with the
maid who did not feed the lamp enough
food to support Its life. Last , and well-
nigh most Important of all , nee that you
have the proper wick. It should not fit
the space too tightly , should not bo woven
too compactly and should be made of a
material as nearly noncombustlble- Is
practicable.
Lamps from a sanitary viewpoint are
not nearly so objectionable as Is supposed ,
and ore , as a matter of fact , not eo In
jurious as gas. The latter Is detrimental
to plant life , whereas lamps are not. Flor
ists know this well and gas Is not found
In the hothouses and greenhouses whence

market ; they use kerosene lamps altogether.
Lastly , thehousewtfo who really under
stands the care of her lamps will give
the reservoir a thorough cleaning once a
month , and if the wick has .Ijocomo clogg-ed
with the waste matter It has drawn up
she will replace It with a new one.
