. Senator Proctor, of Vermont, is be-
’ coming one of the largest owners of
real estate in Washington, D. C. He
seems to how great faith in the per-
manence of values in that city. Re-
cently he purchased the Glover build-
ing, a. modern office structure on a
street near the treasury, and he is also
extensively engaged in building oper-
ations. To carry these on he has or-
ganised a company and will use mar-
ble from his Vermont quarries In a
large seven story apartment house on
K street near Fifteenth. and also a
large office structure to be rented to
the government at the corner of Ver-
mont avenue and Fifteenth street, N.

'Di'. Melancthon W. Strykor, presi-
dent of Hamilton College. has given it
ai his belief that the New. York public
school-taking city schools and coun-
try schools together—not one pupil in
twelve is properly taught to read.
The incoming classes of the college
average fifty to sixty members. ’
doubt if five in any class are good
readers." says Dr, Stryker. "If we
have a reform in college exercises, It
should be Ill reading and spelling.
Spelling is easier. but. I think upon
examination seven out of eight would
be conditioned on reading."

Myer-y plausible reason for our offering accommo-
dation to buyers of clothing—wit is because there is a demand I
for such a system. No matter how well fixed you are. it is
I always simpler and easier to pay a small amount weekly than
$30 or $40 in a lump. Offering credit, however. is a more in-
cidcnt to our business: it is the worth and wear of our cloth-
ing which sustains and keeps the business. Accept our invi-
tion to start an account and pay us gradually.

A good many valuable hints were giv-
on on the hanging of pictures at the
rocent- lecture given by the Arts and
Crafts Club. not the least. of which
was the liberal use of thumb tacks inI
stead of so much wire cord even for
the hanging of pictures of considerable
size. When a picture hangs close
against. the wall, as most pictures
should, there is very little danger of
its pulling out the tack if the tuck it-
self is close to the wall.
