"CAMERA OUTLINE" FAD AMONG SOCIAL ELECT Revised Form of the Silhouette Produced by Means of Photography. Miss Clarke, Whose Slender Lires Show Up Well in Silhouette. VOL. 25. NO. 19. "CAMERA OUTLINE AMONG Revised Form of the Silhouette of Phot Society is captive to a new style of photography, the "camera outline." photography, the "camera outline." Some people speak of the newest form of reproducing the features as a silhouette, but the designation is hardly accurate. In the real silhouette the profiles were made by tracing the shadow made on a sheet of white paper by the light of a candle. This style was primitive, and would be laughed at today. But it answered the purpose in that period. In fact the modern world owes its sole knowledge of the features of many noted men and women to the vogue of the silhouette a couple of centuries ago. But the up-to-date silhouette is a very different affair. It is made by the use of the camera. Naturally the photographer's modern machine can be relied upon to obtain a far more accurate reproduction of the outline of one's features than could result from the drawing of a shadow projected on a sheet of paper. Therefore the outline of the camera yields may be said to be absolutely correct. To complete the silhouette it is only necessary to fill in the rest of the picture in black. Naturally the eyes with all their expression are lost, a lot of other important detail is swallowed up in the wave of black paint, but so lifelike are the outlines that it is really possible to recognize the subject of the photographer's art. Produces Lifelike Result. Produces Lifetime Result. Haseeler of Philadelphia is one of those who has been especially successful in producing a lifesite result cessful in producing a lifelike result. Falling into the fad, many of his wealthiest and most important subjects, socially, have sat to him for pictures in the newest mode, and it is his habit to let those who visit him go over a bunch of the "camera outlines," as they should technically be called, and strive to identify their subjects. This is done with surprising success. One hostess even went further, by giving a dinner, and having her guests compete in a game of seeing who could identify most of a collection of silhouettes, borrowed from the increasing collection of Mr. Chaseleer. Most of the subjects were well known to the guests, but it was remarkable to what an extent he outlines proved to be recognizable. Among striking examples of this kind of work may be mentioned the well-known face of Mr. William M. Chase, the artist, a prominent administrator of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Mr. Chase is never seen without a silk hat, a pair of eyeglasses on his straight nose, and from them hanging a cord. His beard goes to a point. Nobody who knows Mr. Chase could Miss Clarke, Whose Slender Lir. fail to identify this silhouette like- ness of the artist, and he himself says it looks lots more like than picture£$s his artist friends have painted. Are Quickly Recognized. The strong, but somewhat rotund features of Dr. S. Wier Mitchell also quickly betray his identity as shown in the camera outline. Neither could Dr. S. Wier Mitchell. Admiral Longnecker, a well-known naval man, deny his identity. The musicianship of Wassili Leps, the violinist, is made very clear in the high forehead, the hair brushed back, the straight nose, sensitive chin and eyeglasses. But Mr. Haeseler has not confined himself to reproducing faces. He has also turned his art to doing full length figures, and here he gains still more notable triumphs. Miss Bertha Clarke, a society leader, noted for her "Study of THE NEW YORKER A "Study of a Huntress." slender lines, could never deny herself as she shows in this outline. The silhouette of the child painting a picture book is also very clever and novel, combining the silhouette with the modern photograph most interestingly. Perhaps one of Mr. Haeseler's best and most artistic poses is that entitled "Study of a Huntress." It is a picture of a well known New York society girl and is said to be a most faithful image of the young lady. es Show Up Well in Silhouette. No photograph so fully did justice of this classical outline as does the silhouette made by Mr. Haeseler. Apparently the beautiful effect is accomplished by reason of the concentration on the outline alone, and the elimination of everything else. The perfect lines with the strong nose, high forehead, small mouth and perfect chin recalls some of the classic heads made by the sculptors of antiquity to picture the beautiful women of their period. Goes Far Back for Origin. The silhouette art goes far back for its origin. The profile or shadow outline of the human figure, filled in of a dark color, the shadows and extreme depths being sometimes indicated by the heightening effort of gum or some other materials, was known among the ancients, and by them carried to a high degree of perfection, as instance the monochromes on Etruscan vases. But the term silhouette is of very modern origin comparatively, for it did not come to be applied to this kind of work until after the middle of the eighteenth century. Many persons entertain the fallacious idea that Etienne de Silhouette, from whom the art takes its name. --- THE APPEAL. was the inventor of this kind of picture, or at least had something to do with perfecting it. As a matter of fact Silhouette had not a thing to do with reproducing the human features. In fact it is only Silhouette of a Child Painting a Picture Book. as a memory of political derision that his name is remembered in that connection today. [Image of a silhouette of a person wearing a hat and a coat]. Silhouette was the French minister of finance in 1759, and he patriotically set for himself the difficult task of replenishing the national treasury, which had become sadly depleted during the source of long wars with the Britains and Prussia. Silhouette attacked the wealthy nobles for their prodigality, and earned their dislike. He instituted sweeping economies on every hand. Soon he came to be ridiculed by the very country he was so honestly serving and his parsimony made him the most admirable possible subject for caricature. Knocked Out by Daguerre. Thus every fashion that was plain or cheap was styled by the wits as "a la Silhouette," and as the profiles were by shadows thrown on paper were then very much in vogue among the poor, the rich preferring to give commissions to painters to hand their lineaments down to posterity, the word "Silhouette" attached itself firmly to the black profile. For many years the silhouette had to make its fight against the work of the artist, with brush, pen or pencil. But then came Daguerre, and in his train, followed the camera, with the whole host of improvements and inventions, until the marvellous photography of the twentieth century had become an accomplished fact. But society, ever prone to be fickle, and dissatisfied with that which it has had for any length of time, has declared that the pendulum has swung back again, and that the silhouette is once more the vogue. Therefore the rush to have every member of the family taken in the "new-old" way, with camera lending its help to make the illusion more realistic. People have apparently lost the inclination for self-denial. That disagreeable necessity is, they think, so often forced upon them at other seasons of the year that a special season for it is superfluous. Perhaps, too, they consider life is too short. ```markdown ``` Passing of Lent. Admiral' Longnecker. TO PROTECT EDIBLES DEAR TO MR. GOURMET National Shellfish Association to Devise Means to Protect Supply of Lobsters, Crabs and Other Shellfish. THE FISHING BOAT Gourmets and connoisseurs are the beneficiaries of the convention of the Shellfish association, which meets in New York. The subject of the gathering, which will include representatives from eighteen states is to perfect means to prevent the lobster, the terrapin, the crab, the oyster, crayfish, shrimp and scallop from disappearing from the menu. It is alarm lest indifference to the proper protection of the natural supply of these delicious foods produce a condition when there no longer will be a lobster to go along with the small bottle that has finally roused experts on the subject to action. There have been gatherings and conventions on a variety of themes, but probably never has there been one whose object is more curious than this. Curious because of the change that has come over public opinion regarding the foods the convention seeks to protect. It is not such a long time ago that a lot of the dishes that are now the Charles H. Bacon, Chief of the New Jersey State Bureau of Shell Fisheries. gastronomic joys of those with trained palates were here in very light esteem by the public. For example, no one would at one time eat a soft shell crab. The now fought-for delicacy used to pile up in profusion along the shores of Maryland, the Chesapeake bay being the country's greatest crab center. But they were scorned by the whites and were esteemed to be only negro food. BURN UP Noses at Crabs. When a railroad was building through Maryland, and the contractors had to feed the force of laborers who were working on the operation, the men insisted on having in their contract a clause that they would not be compelled to eat soft shell crabs. But now the possibilities of sea food have been developed into amazing popularity by chefs, and as a financial proposition, the country's supply of shellfish is well worthy of the protection toward which the convention aims. Pessimistic reports have been spreading that the lobster is doomed, and that it is only a short time before he will be only a memory. So with the crab. The supply of shrimp is still equal to the demand, but the teraplin, which doesn't exactly come into the classification of shellfish, is becoming so rare that it is now an event to have an order for one honestly filled. It was at the White House conference of governors, called by President Roosevelt last year, that the project for a national association for the conservation and extension of the shellfish industry was suggested. Natural resources played an important part in the discussion of this conference, and there was not a governor or representative from any of the coastwise states who did not lay particular stress upon the importance of guarding the supply of sea food, especially the shellfish, since these stood more in need of protection than ordinary fish. Lobster The Drop. The Professor—Eureka! Here's a treasure—a relic of our ancestor of twenty thousand years ago—and in what a marvellous state of preservation! Unless I am mistaken, this is either the left tibia of a prehistoric cave-dweller of the Mousterian epoch— The Tramp (who has just lunched off it) —'Am, guv'nor, 'am. The mark of a free man is that he binds himself to some high duty. Impressed with the possibilities of united action, Charles H. Bacon, chief of the New Jersey State Bureau of Shell Fisheries, called for a convention for the benefit of hundreds of men who have millions invested in the different branches of cultivating and marketing edible shellfish. Washington Co-operates. Representatives of six states were present at the initial meetings which resulted in the formation of the national association. Mr. Bacon was chosen president, and Mr. Caswell Grave of the Maryland State commission secretary. Washington was prompt to co-opate with the movement, and will have a representative at the convention, for there is no failure on the part of the administration to recognize the importance of the movement. Already the United States government has been making efforts to prevent extinction of the lobster, and these will be considered in detail at the convention. In the experiment stations along the coast of Massachusetts the fish commission has planted no less than a billion lobster fry in five years. But it is estimated not less than 50 percent of these are destroyed immediately after they are put in the water by the natural enemies of the little lobsters, which strangely enough are other little lobsters. This decline of the fishery has shown that it is not enough to hatch the fry and plant them in waters. If the lobster fisheries are to be protected the government must put into the water fellows who have had some growth, and hence are able to some extent to take care of themselves. In other words, the marine stations must become nursing grounds for young lobsters. In his babyhood the lobster is a most vulnerable creature, but the experiments thus far having shown that 5 per cent of the fry can be brought along to the point where they are able to withstand the strenuous experiences that await them, there is ample encouragement for carrying the work still further. Lobster Becoming Scarcer. The lobster has been steadily becoming scarcer in the last five years despite the persistent effort of the United States fish commission to bolster up the supply. The main causes are the relative infrequency of the breeding periods, the slow rate of growth and reckless and illegal fishing. The lobster does not ordinarily A man in a suit and hat stands on a boat, holding a rifle. The background is a calm body of water with a distant shoreline. breed oftener than once in two years, and the period may be even longer. If they survive all the dangers of the youthful period of their lives it is five years before they become adults. Figures show the extent of the decline. In 1880 19,836,233 pounds were caught, valued at $473,341. This was an average of nearly 21-2 cents per pound. Twenty-two years later, taking the figures for 1902, the last that make the same kind of a comparison possible, the supply had shrunk to 14,028,845 pounds, but the crop was valued at $1,271,962. This shows how the supply had failed to keep up with the demand, for, while the supply had fallen off, the price had mounted in good care of the bivalve future country. In many places wise state rations have led to an enormous crease of oysters over the next yield even its most prolific day. Fore state aid had become necessary. Shellfish experts on all phases of the question will be present convention, and there is every opportunity to look for a valuable gain to the industry.

Maryland will have more interest than any other state in what action the convention takes to protect and aid the crab supply, for this little commonwealth is the biggest producer of this kind of crustacean. The crab is found all over the country, but nowhere in such profusion as on the banks of the Chesapeake bay. It is said, indeed, that it was at Chisfield, Maryland, some thirty-five years ago the value of the soft shell crab as an article of food was first discovered. When they were first shipped to market in the big Northern cities, the soft shell crabs could hardly be disposed of at any price, but one day the gourmands woke up, and thereafter there never was a time that all that could be found could not be disposed of at a price permitting a liberal profit. Protects Crab Fishing. An act of the general assembly of Maryland prevents the opening of the crab season till the first day of May. It closes on the first day of November. Young and Full-Grown Lobsters. Hard shell crabs could be caught the year round, but the assembly passed protective measures, governing the entire industry. During cold weather the crabs bury themselves in the mud flats of the Chesapeake and its tributaries, and remain there till warmer weather comes. Boatmen while dredging for oysters often bring up crabs. When buried in the mud the crabs spawn faster than any known animal insect or fish. All that is required according to experts on the subject is a reasonable protection to the industry, and there is no reason why a time should ever come when it will not be possible to go into a restaurant, and get the soft shell, the dredged crab or just the plain boiled hard shell. Not so much will have to be done in the interest of the oyster, for wise laws drafted by the United States government, and aided by state regulations, have already taken pretty Assorting Lobsters. good care of the bivalve future of the country. In many places wise state regulations have led to an enormous increase of oysters over the natural yield even its most prolific days before state aid had become necessary.

Quiney Ewing has given to the world what he conceives to be a full and complete solution of the famous race problem which has for so long a time puzzled our statesmen, savants, philosophers and divines. It is obvious that in a matter of such vital importance, a great degree of caution must be used; for even in the exact sciences, there are instances of the most accomplished experts having made the most egregious blunders. For instances, the famous Russian mathematician Wrongski once claimed that he had effected a complete solution of the problem of solving an equation of any degree. His process was submitted to the French Academy and found to be a glaring absurdity, and not long after it was proved that a general solution of equations above the fourth degree is simply impossible. Mr. Ewing first disposes of several theories as to the reason for the friction between the races, and contends that it does not exist for ANY of the following so-called causes: First, that the Afro-American is lazy. Second, that he is excessively criminal. Third, that he is illiterate. Mr. Ewing certainly disposes of these theories very effectively by adducing facts which are known to all people of average intelligence, and then assigns his own opinion as follows: "The foundation of it, true or false, is the white man's conviction that the Negro as a race and as an individual, is his inferior, not human in the sense that he is human, and entitled to the exercise of human rights in the sense that he is entitled to the exercise of them." THE APPEAL is satisfied that Mr. Ewing correctly states one of the causes of our racial hostilities, without however suggesting any remedy. It can easily be shown that the closer the races get together, the farther they get apart. The white man has no fear of the lowest type of Negro as piring to become his equal or rival; the lowest type of the race does not resent the grandfather clause and the jim crow car. He willing concedes the superiority of white men, one and all, highest as well as lowest. But so accomplished a scholar and M. H. HON. WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT.

THE TROUBLE IN TURKEY. There has been a hot time in Turkey recently resulting in the slaughter of 30,000 people and insuring the fact that Turkey will, this year, "best" the United States in the number of murders. The Turk is generally a Mohammedan and sees a little harm in killing an Armenian, who is a Christian, as a southern mob does in killing an Afro-American. The neighboring European nations would like to butt in and regulate matters in their customary way, but they are too busy watching each other and the people they have subjugated, Ireland, India and South Africa tie the hands of England; Alsace-Lorraine, Finland and Poland, the hands of Germany; Russia and Austria, France and Italy are about broke, and Spain and Portugal irrelavant factors. Every body knows that the South American so-called republics are such only in name and are really aristocracies, with the president as chief of the gang. Mexico is in a still worse condition and Diaz is as absolute as the Czar. In all those countries the laborers are peons, working for a few cents a day, living in huts and eating scraps and offal. It is easy to call a country a republic, but it depends upon the population to make it one. Ex-gov. Hoax Smith says: Experience shows that Negroes improve most rapidly where there are fewest of them in proportion to the number of whites, but leaves it to THE APPEAL to explain the cause of the phenomenon, which the latter attempts to do. Compare, for instance, Kansas and Georgia. In the former every Afro-American child has excellent schools; in Georgia, he has a miserable excuse of a school, taught by a half-starved teacher, for two or three months in the year. Georgia has done away with her convict lease system—now, henceforth and forever, and it is also said that Arkansas is on the point of doing the same thing. Next to lynching, the convict lease system is the most abominable and infamous of the cruelties perpetrated in the dark places of the earth; and THE APPEAL rejoices to learn that our country is being rid of such relics of savagery. Even Russia has no fouler blot upon her shameful record. Viscount Morley has appointed a Hindu to the Viceroy's Council and the Anglo-Indian population is terribly worked up over the "tremendous innovation." He is an able, cultured man but is not of high caste, so some of the high caste Indians, as well as the English are raging over the matter much in the style of Vardaman over the federal appointment of an Afro-American postmaster. Poland is becoming very restless and a source of great uneasiness to the three great powers which many years ago stole and divided her territory among themselves. Each of these powers has to reserve an army for the special purpose of guarding its stealings.

WOMEN HERE ARE MORE PETTED AND HONORED THAN ELSEWHERE JORNAL Staffel Netterson BY THEL LLOYD PATTERSON. That "women of the United States receive more care and are more petted and honored than are the women of America in the world," is the opinion of Dr. C. Rodrigues, editor and one of the proprietors of the Journal de Comercio, of Rio Janeiro. There are two principal and very good reasons why Dr. Rodrigues' opinions on this subject should be of real value, and, of course, there are a lot of little reasons that all help to give weight, besides. The first big reason is that Dr. Rodrigues is not married. That makes him unbiased and unhambled by a subconscious obligation to stop and count 100 before indulging in personalities upon womankind. The second big reason is that Dr. Rodrigues has traveled pretty much everywhere in the world, and so he knows what he is talking about from personal observation. "Then you practically agree with your countrywoman, Signora Carolina Huidobro, in her opinions upon the women of the United States? You remember she lectured before the Women's Peace Circle at the Hotel Astor," I reminded him. His Countrywoman's Views. Dr. Rodriguez settled back more comfortably upon one of the wide leather lounges, upon which we were both sitting in the lobby of the Hol- JORNAL land House, where he is stopping. "What are Namea Hulodobro's opinions?" he inquired. "Simplified, they are that, the North American women are spoiled." I explained, "and that the South American women are ideal wives because they do not attempt to interfere with or dictate to their husbands." "If that is what she thinks, I do not see why I have just said should be construed into an agreement with her statements," interrupted Dr. Rodriguez. "I said that the North American women are petted and humored and receive the best of care, did I not? But how does that argue, that they are not ideal women, which is, generally speaking, one and the same with being an ideal wife? Sollicitude for anything does not usually indicate that it is of little value. A finely bred race horse receives more attention than an animal that is only fit to drag a truck, and if I were given my choice between the two I certainly would not choose the truck horse. "Probably no intelligent man would. The animal of higher spirits would probably give me more trouble and require more of my time, and finer quarters in which to keep it, but that would not make me hesitate in choosing. "I do not know that I ever noticed that South American women are particularly submissive," continued Dr. Rodriguez. "Of course, among the lower classes there is that cringing that is a relic of slavery." "We have an old adage up here that tells us: 'A woman, a dog and a walnut tree.

You are too quick with your divorces. Practically they are unheard of in South America. We have instead what you would call a legal separation. "It separates the couple, and, when it is just, imposes the woman's support upon the man, but it does not leave either party free to marry again." "And would you consider such laws an improvement upon our divorce laws?" I asked. "Why not?" Dr. Rodrigues replied. "In many cases up here your man and woman do not separate because of brutalities; it is just because they wish to marry somebody else. They have what they call 'affinities.'" "And are there no 'affinities' in South America, I asked, wondering what on earth the newspapers did for their head lines.

Hodge, Ed Williams, J. J. Hurshfield SKATES 3,000 YEARS OLD. Figure Skating Among the Ancient Norwegian Heroes. The English chronicler has recorded that the youth of London in the twelfth century understood the art of flying over the ice like birds in the air; but the origin of skating is more ancient. An Icelandic saga relates how the Norwegian hero Friðhórr not only traced verses upon the polished mirror but also he cut the dear name of Ingebor. Skates have been discovered near Spandau in Germany, which those competent to express an opinion attribute to a period of 3,000 years ago. These skates were made from bones of horses, figured and perforated to attach to the sandal. Similar skates have been found at Moorfields in Finsbury, and like discoveries have been in Berlin in the bed of the Spree. These and similar discoveries, we learn, enable the authorities to conclude that the European ice area in prehistoric times extended from Great Britain to Finland and from Norway to Hungary. U. B. F.

FARM WORK AS A PLEASURE Agriculture Lacks Interest When Nature's Waves Are Not Heeded. The field might just as easily have been beautiful as ugly, and have fallen in with the general plan of the landscape as readily as a natural meadow of clearing among the trees. It would have been just as fertile and just as easy to work if we had taken account of the farm as a whole and had planned it as carefully with relation to the natural features around it as we would now plan a landscape garden; that the skill to do so would, of course, have been very limited does not enter into the case; the point is that the interest would have been would have been a delight—piece of beauty of drudgery to be done soon as possible—that there might be some little time left for the pleasure which was regarded as a senigate thing. The fact that pleasure is always considered a separate thing from work on the farm is the whole root of the matter. To the city man or the man who has gone back to the farm for peace and relief from other cares, the work in itself is the pleasure. If the interest of the farmer could be made to him, he would have same pleasure for himself and teaching his children to find it there would be no need of all this talk and effort to prevent the exodus from the country to the city. And if the agricultural schools could succeed in giving to the country boy sufficient knowledge of the interest and significance that really in every stroke of work he does; of the active mental effort required to work in any other form of business, we should not longer have to complain of the falling off of our agriculture as compared with our manufacturers. Beribboned Flowers The use of ribbons with flowers has a great field and entrances the beauty and value of them. A bunch or basket with on appropriate bow artistically placed makes it worth as much again, if you are not simply selling merchandise. But put the ribbon where it belongs, where the eye suggests the need of something being tied. To put a red necklace on an azalea plant, you must an azalea with a lot of stuff puffing out here and there. It does not do the azalea any good and wastes the ribbon. You can use some receptacle with the plant that offers an excuse to tie on a bow of ribbon and you at once have the satisfying effect on the eye. Buy 'em and try 'em and you'll buy 'em all the time—Krispy Crackers. Oklahoma Tribute to Art. The west gallery in the Chickensha opera house sagged eight inches in a minstrel performance, but the show was so good that somebody ran out of the few fence rails, propped up the gallery and the performance continued.

Along this dangerous coast, the hard hearted "Pagani" or wreckers had their settlements. Many are the vessels that have been lured to destruction by their false lights; many are the drowned, who met their deaths through the treachery of those to whom they looked for help. The Pagani were regarded with great aversion by the people of neighboring villages, but they knew no shame. A favorite device was to fasten a lantern to a bull's horns and then tie the animal's head to a footweave and drive him along the cliffs. The stumbling movements of the poor agitated the lantern in such a manner that to those at sea it resembled the light of a ship pitching and tossing on the waters. Other vessels would feel that they could sail in the direction of this light in perfect safety, only to find that they had been treacherously lured to destruction. Of late years tales of bravery in saving life, of kindness toward the shipwrecked, have softened the memory of a past reputation. Cases have been known where the people have given their most treasured costumes to the poor bodies that have been when they had but even in these days inhabitants of old region are extremely tenacious of their rights of wreckage. BUCKWHEAT DIET ASSAILED. A Reformer Who Would Replace It With beechnuts and Apples. There are buckwheat eaters in New York state who set their sponge to rise Thanksgiving day or sooner and never see the bottom of that buckwheat batter jar again till the first of May. Buckwheat cakes, pork sauce, fried potatoes, coffee every morning for the next four months. Is it morning after three or four months of sunshine, at the same time living in close, at the elevated homes, filtby with breshed air, the bodily resistance is broken down and that the dad of the winter brings its usual crop of pneumonia cases with its harvests of death? Meantime, there are a few of us who are wise to this little game, and so we are just lying low, living on beechnuts and apples, taking the best care of this body we know how, doing our work sane and sweetly, paying no doctor bills, supporting no drug shops, gnills mills or pillatories. We have no cemetery lots engaged and no dates with the undertaker. Moving Stairs for Waiters It is a strange fact that one of the greatest conveniences possible in the working mechanism of a hotel is being successfully introduced in foreign hotels, and, although manufactured in New York, is only beginning to be heard in the United States. It is known as an escalator, and is a moving runaway or stairs for carrying the waiters from the level of the kitchen to upper dining rooms. Less expensive, it is shipped to a leading hotel in Stockholm, Sweden, and some time later another to a hotel in Buenos Ayres. Others are being prepared for shipment to hotels in Europe. Gamblers' Superstitions A long French nail would appear to be popular as a mascot at Monte Carlo, for among the trente and quarantine players it is much in evidence. Others again place confidence in the possession of a crooked coin. One man fixes all his hopes on a mummy's finger, a nasty looking bit of brown stick which he preserves with holy care as if it were a saint's relic. Plainly Hiram's Fault. "Well. by grass!" exclaimed Farmer Geeah the other evening as he looked at the thermometer. "The pessy thing he has bin & standin' pury near zero the hull day." "What else could you expect, Hiram?" retorted Mrs. Geeah. "Yew would leave it a-hangin' on out th' porch in th' cold 'stead uv bringin' it in th' house." The Silk Hat in Japan. The silk hat is now an inevitable and laughter provoking feature of a public function in this country. Why our countrymen, who are famous for their silk hats, would have come to adopt this ill prepared hat is past our comprehension. In a Safe Place. "We have a man in this prison who never tried to escape," declared the head keeper. "What's he in for?" inquired the visitor. "Bigamy." replied the head keeper. Not the Same. "What is venison now?" asked the regular customer. "Venism," answered the pocost butcher, "is deer." "I know that's what it should be," rejoined the regular customer, "but the last I got here seemed to be veal." Isn't It So? "Mamma," asked the little boy who had been allowed to stay up and take dinner with company, "mamma is, it is me, or is there enough to go round?" Pa'a Theory. Little Willie (looking up from book) "Say, pa, what's the dead of night?" Pa. "The dead of night must be ghosts, my son." Also the Locomotive Spark. In the Far West ten thousand acres, containing valuable timber, were set on fire by a lighted match, carelessly tossed aside by a casual traveler. In the enlightened jurisprudence of the days to come the careless tossing away of fire, however small the combustible, will be accounted among the criminal acts to be reckoned with by the law. There is entirely too much costly carelessness in the disposal of lighted matches and of cigar and cigar MINNEAPOLIS DOINGS IN AND ABOUT THE GREAT "FLOUR CITY."

"Sure, boss, ah knows that," replied the cautious man color, "but ah don't know how soon he's going to stop barkin." The Maiden's Prayer. Most children are good listeners as well as good observers, and, more than that, they are quick to use the knowledge acquired through keenness in these directions. A case in point is that of little Janet, who had evidently spent part of her day in the kitchen and had overheard remarks made by the cook. Like all good girls, little Janet said her prayers regularly just before being tucked in for the night. On this particular night she said: "God bless me, bless father and mother and everybody, make me a good girl, keep me pure—pure as Loya baking powder. Amen."

Remains Found in Java of Great Work of the Eighth Century. The Borobedeoed, unearthied by Sir Stamford Raffles when the English ruled in Java, was built by the Hindus in the eighth century, and is by far the finest example of their work in the island. Standing on a hill in the middle of the valley this imposing edifice, covering nearly ten acres, rises to a height of upward of a hundred feet above the summit of the hill. It consists of a series of stone terrace built on top of each other in diminishing magnitude, so as to leave circumscribing galleries, and crowned by a vast cupola entrance to the galleries is gained by four stairways, north, south, east and west, which run from the ground straight up to the big top terrace, in the middle of which stands the crowning cupola, surrounded by numerous smaller lattice work cupales, and from which one may step aside into any of the intermediate galleries. The whole is built of stone, showing an immense amount of carving, and, though there is no genuine inside to the temple, many of th egalleries are covered in, innumerable images of Buddha occupy niches or prominent positions on the walls, and the sides of the galleries were paved with basreliefs, indicating the glorification of this god and other incidents in his history. When one considers that there are several miles of basreliefs alone the work expended on the pyramids of Egypt pales into insignificance before this stupendous undertaking. Dear SIRS—I have used only one bottle of your pomade and now I would not be without it. My hair is soft and easy to comb and also starts a new growth. MRS, W. F. WALKER, Sta. I- Harriman, Tenn.
