PHOTOGRAPHING WOMEN.

•mnben of tho Theatrical ProfeMlon tba Mwt PoRfln. I» 1b a well-known fact that theatrical women take far better photographs than those out of tho profession, and the rather stupid question is often asked why this should be. "I am tired of explaining to ladles," said a photos* rapher to a New York Snn reporter, recently,

EIGHT HUNDRED OLD MAIDS. A Community Where tho Men Have No lluslncim to He.

When in Ghent 1 struck a queer community, says a traveler. It is called the Hcgu in a [re, and is a community of women who form a sort of old maids' home. It was established in the seventh century, and has fliurishcd ever since in a separate quarter of the city, having been originally surrounded by a walL

The houses are almost all uniform in size, being two stories in height and built of brick, and the streets run through them in every way, radiating toward the square, in which is erected their large and beautiful church. The women are bound by no vows, but are compelled to observe a certain order of religious exercises as long as they remain in the community and to pay their allegiance to the superioress selected by tliem.

They must pay their way, of course, and to do so must either have money of their own before going or earn their living by doing such work as is given to them, which is mainly lace making and fine sewing. They have a regular habit, like other nuns, which it is obligatory on them to wear, and they go and come pretty much as their fancy leads them. There are now something over eight hundred in the community. Just fancy what a field there is Pittaburirli for an institution of this kind-

A PREACHER'S STORY. Ilia Kxpcrlence with tlio Champion Mean Man.

In IS72 I was pastor of a church in a beautiful New Hampshire village, writes a minister to tho Chicago Tribune. Among the members was an elderly farmer residing seven miles from the church. It was generally known that he hail some fifteen thousand dollars or eighteen thousand dollars in bonds and other securities, besides a large and well-stocked farm. At his earnest and repeated solicitations to preach some Sunday afternoon in an old church near his home I finally consented. It was an exceedingly warm Sabbath in July. I hired a horse and carriage, drove to the old meeting house and preached to perhaps one hundred people. After the service tho old gentleman invited me to call at his house. I did so in the hope that he would pay my horse bill or at least offer me a little food, for I had tasted none since breakfast. In both 1 was disappointed. As I was leaving I asked him if he would give me two or throe apples to eat on the road back home. He produced four small russet apples. Knowing his penurious disposition I said: "How much shall I pay for these?" "I guess about three cents," was the reply. "I would give 'em to you, but it's getting late for apples and they are mighty scarce round here."

SECRET OF CHINESE VARNISH. An Elastic Polish of Which tho Mongolian* nave the Monopoly.

The British consul at Hankow, writing of the varnish exported from that city, says he is informed that it is tho gum of a tree—the rhus vernicifera. On this tree, before daylight, Incisions ara made the gum that runs out is collected in Uie dark, and strained through a cotton cloth bag, leaving behind a large amount of dirt and refuse. This operation can only be performed in the dark, as light spoils tho gum and causes it to cake with all the dirt in it. It cannot be strained in wet weather, as moisture causes it to solidify.

When the Chinese uao this varnish they rub it on with a sort of mop, or swab, made of soft waste silk. It should only be used in wet weather, as if the atmosphere is dry when It Is rubbed on it will always be sticky. As used by the Chinese, the varnish takes about a month to dry, and during the time it is drying it is poisonous to tho eyes.

The consul thinks that this gum may have been one of tho ingredients of the celebrated Cremona varnish, and he suggests that it might be worth thd while of musical instrument makers to make experiments with it, with a view to producing a varnish that would give a mellow instead of a glassy sound.

MODERN BRIGANDS.

An Anoient Industry EnJoyinjr Great Revival.

BrlcMdago 9»f« tad Profitable Calling—flow Robbers Op«rat« la Different P»rta ot the World.

The picturesque industry of brigandage has existed in Europe and the east since the time of Homer, and just as society is congratulating itself that the danger is extinct, it reappears among the mountaineers of Italy, Grecoe, or Turkey, or the train robbers of Arkansas or Missouri.

photograph. She wishes to lookaashing, assertive and passionate, and is never satisfied when I make ber her owtj sweet self. Now, 1 cannot pose ordinary women afi I can an actress, for the reason that they havent the ability to fall Into thaattitude I want. Then, again, they ajr* usually unable to throw the particular expression Into their f^oea that they wish to have there, and this •an actress can do. Above all, a lady not of the profession seldom makes up her face when she is photographed, or, if she does, It is badly done. always touch up a woman's face a bit with crayon if. she will allow me, but she •usually won't. Tho skillful actress makes up in a pronounced manner, her eyes heavily shadowed and her lips mode blood-red. I can soften where 1 cannot uoccntuate in finishing a picture, and so, when these exaggerations 61 the actress arc toned down, her eyes merely look large and brilliant, and her mouth clearly defined. It's the same way with the men. An actor knows how to nose, to begin with, and, as a general thing, he makes up his face as he invariably does on the stage. There is really no use of men and women in private life hoping to get photographs that will be as striking and satisfactory as those of actors and actresses, unless they are willing to take a course of dramatic training and study the art of make-up."

It is all nonsense, says the New York Journal, to suppose brigandage is dead in Italy. The Sicilian mountains still furnish as many chances for wild eooounter as they did forty years ago, and a Fra Diavolo is always leaving pi-iton in,some southern city and preparing to take to tho woods again. Thepe is proof, too, that tho able brigand has the complicity of the police in many cases. In order to get out of durance vile he has only to olaim that he has experienced a "change of heart." At the present time extraordinary efforts are in progress for the liberation of one Carbone, a noted brigand, on whoso head four assassinations weigh. Ho has been in prison a long time, and tho chiefs brain is wild with thoughts of future exploits, so ho claims to be a good man now, and in a few months wo shall be hearing of new docds of daring in tho environs of Palermo, or in tho woody country between Naples and Some.

Mountain brigandage has largely given place, however, to operations in and near the large cities, because tho latter is the safer. The collusion of tho police helps the malefactors wonderfully. Signor Tajani, not very long ago minister of justice for the Italian kingdom, and at one time prosocuting attorney in Palermo, narrowly escaped the ruin of his career because he exposed the infamous brigandage which he saw going on around him.

The police, according to his statement, had many of the mafllosi incorporated in its ranks, and permitted burglaries of the court of appeals and in the central palaces of Palermo and robberies in the museums, and in the government pawnbroking establishments amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars. No one was ever punished, for the police was the real receiver of stolen goods. If this was not wholesale brigandage, what was it? It shows what the Mafia can do when it is free, from persecution.

The connivance of the police at petty brigandage has long been well known in Italy, but there seems no way to stop it. It is not very long since a deputy declared in the chamber that members of the Mafia always received warning in due time of any measures which the secret police were taking against tliem, thus showing that members of the criminal association were on the police force.

There is something irresistibly comic in the idea of a brigand with a "pulL" Fra Diavolo -tranquilly dining with travelers whom he is to rob, and prepared to sell his life dearly when the carbineers attack, has a bravado about him which compels respect.

But a brigand coolly arranging for "police protection," and bargaining with the "copper" as to a division of the spoils—this is so thoroughly nineteenth century, so hard and cynically practical—that it excites one's sense of the ridiculous.

It is said that Atlianos, the brigand who caught the German travelers by stopping a railway train in Turkey recently, and got such a large sum of money from them for ransom, was in collusion with Turkish officials, who were playing a very safe game.

If the victims paid up quietly, and not too much fuss was made over the matter, then the officials divided quietly with Athanos and his band, and all went merrily as marriage bells.

But if Athanos were caught and imprisoned, because a hue and cry was raised by the foreign ambassadors, then the officials would receive a reward for their diligence in catching him, and thus some of the money would fall into their hands, Athanos would have a mock trial—as he undoubtedly will— and some fine day It will be reported that he has escaped from prison. Then he will take to tho road—on the railroad—again. To leave him in prison is dangerous, for he seems to bo deserted by tho officials then those worthies will be assassinated by his friends. Thus there are wheels within whoels, even in brigandage.

Railroad brigandage is becoming a regular profession in Europe. It is, perhaps, the most sinister and repulsivo form of crime in existence. Everybody knows that railroad cars on European lines are divided into compartments of first, second and third class, and that on rapidly rolling express trains a traveler may frequently be alone for hours.

Suddenly, when crossing some bridgo or traversing a tunnel, the door of the compartment will be thrown open tho brigand who has arranged for occupying tho compartment behind and in front, and has confederates with him, enters, murders and robs the lonely traveler, throws tho body out on the line, and loaves the trains as it slows up.

This requires desperate oourage and great coolness, but several cases have occurred on main lines in Europe within the last year or two.

Tho brigands invariably select a viotlm wbo will yield well, and they seem to havo their agents in half a dozen countries.

There is ono case in which a brigand, caught in the act of robbing a woman in an express train, gave her tho finishing stroke, wrenched her rings from her fingors, fired a pistol in the faces of the train hands who were trying to secure him, sprang through them oft from the rapidy-moving train, and apparently escaped, for'his body,-was never found.

The modern brigand is by no mean* to be despised. .J.jfilawi...
