' PICTURE FRAMES AND WALLS.
One woman who is puecessful ih
getting good effects in her house uses
the trick of framing, or moueting,
her pictures in a calor to match. the
waif itt lier bedrooms. "I find," she
says, "that whea one moves or
cleans house, the pideres get sifted
and resifted so that when one finally
gets to the bedrooms there is a col-
lection that is hardly worth rehang-
- big. Without some special treat -
tient, it would be to the artistic in.-
terests of the room in question to
banish them to the banerneut or Send
them. to the rummage sale. There
are, however, lingering metnories
about them, and sonic; of times have
bees household treasures, and by

means of pale green, reels, and ia

TO REMOVE STAINS.
For soot on carpets, where it has
been dropped from the stovepipeor
chimney, sprinkle freely With salt,
thee sweep it up lightly.
For grease -spots ()/1 Carpets, lay a
heavy blotting -paper over the spots,
then iron witli a hot iron. ,Thie
may not be' it success where the spots
are very large and have been allowed
to remain too long, and in such
cases apply plentifully and faithfully
dry buckwheat flour; never put liquid
on such spots.
If a carpet has seen hard service
and is badly soiled, brighten and
clean by sponging the surface or rub-
bing with 3, solution of annnonia,
borax, and water in the proportion
of about one tablespoonful of liquid
ammonia and an equal- quantity of
pow,dered borax to one quart ol
water. Clean elle small place thor-

eway is to have salts of lemon pre-
pared and ready in a bottle. Dis-
solve lir water enough to cover, and
moisten the spot with this. It will
not rot the ertieles. When dry, wash

For mildew, soak the article in

GOVERNMENT OP TIBET.
Functions of the Dalai Lama and
the Chinese Resident.
The Dalai Lama is the Pope of the
Buddhist world, the Vice -Regent to
Buddha upon earth: " 'According to
the Abbe Hue, Dalai Lama is an
erroneous form of designating, the
Grand Lama 'of Tibet. The Dalai'
Lama is the political and religious
head of all the Tibetan countries.,
and in his hands. is all the executive
and administrative power. Wkien he
dies, or, in the language of the Bud-
dhists, when he transmigrates, a
child is selected to continue the im-
perishable personification of the liv-
ing Buddha. He reserves .to
him-
scif only the matters of primary im-
portance, content to reign much and
to govern very little. After him
comes the Desi, commonly called the
Regent or "King." This ,personage
is nominated by the Council of Min-
isters, and must be a lama of a par-
ticular sect. All the affairs of gov-
ernment are managed by the Regent
and four Ministers, called Katona_
The Regent is assisted by a "Chas-
ag," who 'wields 'great power, and
on occasion exercises the Sunctions
of Regent himself. When the Dalai
Lama roaches his /Majority, fixcel at
eighteen years, the Regent, in the
presence of the Kalons and chief
nobles, presents hin with the seals
of office of both spiritual and tem-
poral affairs.; but for the lad • 100,
years no Dalai Lama has bMn. per-
mitted to Teach his majority, and
the regency has been Without inter-
ruption. After the Grand Lama the
most important personage in Tibet
is the Amben, or Imperial Resident
of China. He is the head of the
Tibetan army, and is the medium of
.all comentuniteations between 'the
Tibetan Gerverament and the sueer-
ian poWer.

is the rule in the big, bustling, busy

Now this may be called a speciee

not neighborliness, and. I shall al-

thought; and care to your relations
with the men, women, and children
who live in your vicinity, and to
evince towards them the tree spirit
of neighborliness. Demonsitented in

HELP ONE ANOTIIER.
Your duty toward your neighbor,
demands that you consider Iiim e of
imtportanee teems° lie lives near
you, and realiee •that in friendly en-
thusiasm only- can a community be •
held together. It does not make
any difference whether the .one
family next door are rich, beaetiful,
•interesting, or sympathetic, you still
owe them a certain amount of con-
sideration and kindliness simply be
cause they are your neighbors.
The way to help a neighbor is to
look about yourself, see what it is
you can do in the hour of affliction,
and fulfil the o'ffice without advice
from anybody. If the neighbor is a
total stranger to you the obligation
to render assistance is as great as
though the unknown persons were
your best friends.
Not all your friends need be your
neighbors; but all your neighbors
should be your friends. This does
not imply that all or even any of
them are your intimate friends, and
the surest method by which: you can
keep your neighbors on a footing of -
the most substantial friendship is
never to presume upon their prie
vacy, • Do not, therefore, g,row so fa-
miliar with even the best of neigh-
bors ,that you are unaware instentles
of the moment when the vealemne
ac-
corded you Molts a trifle in spontane-
ity.
RIGHTS AN]) 'WRONGS.
If you desire to bear the most en-
viable reputation as a neighbor, put
into daily and hourly practice the
'excellent nee of considering your,
neighbor's comfort as well as your,
own. You have no right to create
any disturbances, indulge any fact !
cultivate any pets, or even elated&
your friends at the expense, of year
neighbor's sleep and safety.
You have no right to practise your
piano flve hours a day when there
are quiet and non-musical residents
on the floors above and below you,
and because you sleep soundly of
nights you should not maintain a:
net dog who loves to bay the moon.
The Ideal neighbor has a good
strong strain of unselfishness in his
nature, arid he is queek to recognize
they rights • of others and to guard
against any intrusions upon their
privileges.
DON'T PICK QUARRELS.
As he is considerate himself he
knows something of the art of ex-
acting consideration from others. kte
arbitrates such 'delicate matters that
require complaint and adjustment;
lie does not quarrel over theme - •
