TIMING EXPOSURES. A Work In Which I'h otuijrapher* B**«*ome Remarkably Accurate. The photographer was about to take a picture of a young woman. "It s so dark hero,” lie said, “that 1 guess I’ll give you about thirty seconds,” and, drawing out the slide and removing the cap, he began to count in a measured and mechanical tone, "one, two, three, four, live." and so on. When the exposure was finished the sitter said: “You gave more than thirty seconds to that plate. You counted very slow—l'm sure it took you a full minute to count thirty.” The photographer handed his watch to the young woman. He said: "I'll count thirty again. Time me." And he made the count exactly as before and he was Just twenty-nine seconds making it. “One second off—not so bad. Near my old record, in fact.” said the photographer. "Ten years ago, when I made more pictures than I do today. I could by counting make exposures up to five minutes without being more than a second off. Tanally I'd be a second under; but, over or under, it was only by one second that I'd lie out of the way. But," he added "this gift is not remarkable. Nearly every photographer has it. Nearly every one of us can guess spaces of time running from a half a second to five or six minutes with what is for all practical purposes perfect accuracy.”— I’lliladelphia Record. \ature the Only Healer.

To go down into the low ceiled kitchen, with Its heavy, rough hewn timbers and its great fireplace with the logs fast turning to couls; to look into the old brick oven, where bread for a regiment could easily have been baked, and. perchance, to lie asked to sit down on the old wooden settee under the little window where the pot of flowers stands and drink tea from a quaint blue cup will complete the charm the place has thrown about you. Many fantasies will throng the mind, and the shadows cast upon the walls by the wavering light make this house their home—one booted and spurred and with a military step, the other a rustle of silk and a whiff of rare perfume.—Four Track News.

Cinnamon is so extraordinarily sensitive that great care has to be taken with regard to its surroundings on boar<l ship, as a bale of very tine einnamou will lose much of its delicate aroma if packed among bales of coarser baik.

The Portuguese and Dutch Isolated the hales by packing them iu coconnut fiber or in cattle hides, hut it is found that the only real safeguard is to pack hags of pepper between the bales.—"Two Happy Years In Ceylon” Jos! the Rewrite. “Th‘ boss don’t uilns keep his word," remarked the office hoy. “What’s he been doin’ now?” Inquired the stenographer, “He told me when he went out this tnornin’ that he’d call me up on the telephone.
