PHOTOGRAPHING STARS. When Done With Ordinary Camera They Show as Lines, Not Specks. It is an easy matter merely to photograph stars. The trouble is to picture them as points and not as streaks, for as the earth rotates it carries the photographic apparatus with it, and the light from the star makes a line, while the astronomer wants a point. He must therefore devise a machine that will counteract the movement of the earth and so keep the light steadily In the same place on the plate. Elaborate clockwork must turn the lens backward to keep it on the star and at the same rate as that at which the earth moves forward. An astronomer at the Yerkes observatory at Williams Bay, Wis., is quoted in St. Nicholas as saying that “many of the most important results of astronomy have been derived from the use of an ordinary camera. On a clear night point one of these toward the north pole, and it will be found after an exposure of one or two hours that the stars which lie near the pole have drawn ares of circles upon the plate. This is due to the fact that the earth is rotating upon Its axis at such a rate as to cause every star in the sky to appear to travel through - a complete circle once in twenty-four hours. The mere act of photographing is not much more difficult than a short exposure out of the window- of a moving car. Any one can try it. Let the exposure be for at least five minutes if the camera is pointed overhead and for at least one hour If directed toward the pole star. The camera may be left out all night if pointed at the pole, but must be taken in just before daylight. The longer the exposure the longer the star “scratches.” Develop the plate as long as possible.

DRIVING THE LOGS. Skill and Activity of the Expert Riverman In Action. First and foremost your true riverman can ride a log. This does not mean ' merely that he is able to stand upright or to jump from one to another without splashing in, though even that is no mean feat, as a trial will convince you. That is the kindergarten of it The saw log in the water is not only his object of labor, but his means of transportation. Your true riverman on drive seldom steps on land except to •at and sleep. A journey down stream is to him an affair of great simplicity. He pushes into tfie current a stick of timber, jumps lightly atop it, leans against his peavy and floats away as graceful and motionless as a Grecian statue. When his unstable craft overtakes other logs he deserts it, runs forward as far as he can, the logs bobbing and awash behind his spring, and so continues on another timber. Jack Boyd once for a bet rode for twelve miles down Grand river on a log he could carry to the stream's bank across his shoulders Fully half the time his feet were submerged to the ankles. Nor does quick water always cause your expert riverman to disembark Using his peavy as a balancing pole and treading with squirrel-like quickness as his footing rolls, he will run rapids of considerable force and volume. When the tail of a drive passes through the chute of a dam there are always half a dozen or so of the rear men who out of sheer bravado will run through standing upright like circus riders and yelling like fiends.—Stewart Edward White in Outing Magazine. Marriage Expenses. Careful observation, extending over a period of forty-two years and supplemented by thousands of interviews with storekeepers, hairdressers, modistes, milliners, collectors and others, leads us to believe that the average cost of a bride's trousseau in this coun-try-taking the Hch with the poor—is the sum of $66.38. Equally careful observation convinces us that the average cost of a bridegroom’s sartorial outfit Is slightly less than one-third that amount, or, to be exact, $22.01. Thus we have $88.39 as the cost of the garments worn by bride and bridegroom at the average wedding and in the course of the average honeymoon. —Baltimore Sun. Long Lived Razors. “How long have you had tbls razor?” asked the barber. “A dozen years.” “Well,” said he, “that is not bad. It’s no record, though. Lots of my customers have razors that they've owned twenty and twenty-five years and used too. Why, one old man gets me to hone every three months a razor he bought over forty years ago. And it’s such a good razor yet that this old man’s son, whenever he wants a velvet shave, goes to his dad and borrows the veteran razor. A razor that with good use won’t last twenty-five years is no razor at all.”—New York Press. Yourself. If you wish to be miserable you must think about yourself, about what you want, whatyou like, what respect people ought to pay you, and then to you nothing will be pure. You will spoil everything you touch, you will make sin and misery for yourself out of everything which God sends you and you will be as wretched as you choose.—Charles Kingsley. Pure Love. • When a woman chooses a man with a bald head, a pair of bowlegs and a Saturday night pay check of $lO you can’t accuse her of marrying for anything but pure, unalloyed, uncontaminated, unquestioned and undying love. —Lamar (Mo.) Democrat. The concessions of the weak are th* I csnccsslons of fear.- -Burke.

THE GILA MONSTER. Strange Way* of This Dreaded and Hard Biting Reptile. Os some of the strange ways of the gila monster, that little known creature of the southwestern deserts, a correspondent writes: “I have had some experiences with Gila monsters and cau state that, no matter what scientists may claim, the Gila monster is a good thing to shun. Indians and Mexicans have a horror of it and fear it more than a rattlesnake. I believe that the bite of the Gila monster is dangerous because of the creature's habit of eating lizards, bugs and rodents and then lying on sand so hot that it blisters the hands and feet of men. The heat causes the food to putrefy in the stomach, evidenced by the fact that the teeth are often covered with a fermented, putrefied froth from the food. A bite has the same effect as the cut of a dissecting knife used on a cadaver—in other words, the inoculation of a deadly poison. “When frightened or angry he can move quite rapidly. That short, thick, stubby tall is used in jumping, just as a kangaroo uses his tall. The Gila monster bites like a bulldog and has the tenacity of a snapping turtle. I once saw some men teasing a Gila monster brought to Tucson. A string was tied around his neck. The Glia monster was crawling around on the ground, trying to get away, but was pulled back by the string. This was carried on till the creature became furious. The crowd around the Gila monster knew nothing of his power to spring. Suddenly he sprung up and bit a man among the crowd on the hand, leaping fully two feet from the ground“Another instant*, this of a man whose chief to have been a foolhardy display of fearlessness. He was holding one of the monsters in his hand by the back of its neck, so it could not bite him. He dropped his hand to the side of his leg. The Gila monster shut his teeth down on bls heavy uuck overalls, taking a double piece out where the cloth folded as quickly as a pair of scissors could have cut the fabric and as cleanly.”—Chicago News.

ABUSE OF THE DEAD. Queer Custom of the Bagas Foreha us French Guinea. The Bagas Forehs, who live in French Guinea, quit life in a manner anything but commonplace. When a man dies his wife and children do not lament him. Instead they are angry at having been abandoned. They prop the body up against the house with the forked branch of a tree and invite their friends and relatives to come, all of whom are furious that one of their own has left them. When all the guests have arrived the wife of the deceased advances and addresses what was once her husband in away well calculated to scare his ghost away from the neighborhood. “There now, listen! You’d leave me, would you? So you don't want to live with me? Why do you do this way? Haven’t I always been a good wife to you? Haven't I been a good mother to your children? Haven’t your rice and fish always been well cooked? Have you anything to reproach me with'* Nothing. Then shall not you go? Coward! Traitor! You shall not leave without receiving the correction that such conduct deserves.” Then the blows begin to rain down upon the poor defenseless figure. Presently the tired wife gives place to the children, and they in turn to the relatives and friends, all of whom similarly abuse It. At length, with a natural human impulse, their fury spent, they try to make amends to the hapless corpse. They bathe it and bury it a meter deep inside the house, and each day at the dinner hour the family places on the tomb some grains of rice and a little palm wine for refreshment of the soul should it return.—Washing ton Post Origin of Cork Legs. “A cork leg?” said the dealer. “Why. man, a cork leg would crumble under you like a leg of bread. You don’t want a cork leg, but an elm or willow one. A leg was never made of cork since the world’s beginning. But many people fclnk as you do, and I’ll tell you how the fallacy originated. Tha inventor of the modern artificial leg—the leg instead of the stick—was John Cork. Cork’s legs, or cork legs, were famous around 1810. And whenever a man makes your mistake he pays an unconscious tribute to Cork’s skill.” Vary Much Settled. An elderly woman, on being examined before the magistrate of Bungay as to her place of legal settlement, was asked what reasons she had for supposing that her deceased husband's settlement was at St. Andrews. The old lady looked earnestly at tha bench and said: “He was born there, he was married there, and they buried him there; and if that isn’t settling him there. I’d like to know what Is!”—London Telegraph. A Correction. Bertie—Father, what is an egotist? Father—He is a man who thinks he is smarter than any one else. Mother — My dear, you are scarcely right. The egotist is the man who says that he is smarter than any one else. Ail men think they are. Small Himself. “The trouble with that man is that he takes small matters seriously.” “Yes.” answered Miss Cayenne, “but you could not expect him to do otherwise without sacrificing his self eeteem.”—Washington Star. Strong minds suffer without complaining; weak ones complain without suffering
