Baby ’s Picture.

The trials that beset the amateur photographer are many, but the pure joy of obtaining a good picture now and then compensates him for frequent ures.“I’ve got the baby’s photograph. I took it all myself, and it came out splendidly," said a ten-year-old enthusiast, presenting for his grandmother’s Inspection a picture of a bed on which lay a small bundle covered with moe-qulto-nettlng. "Yes, dear, that’s the baby on her mother’s bed, sure enough,” said grandmother, after a careful study of this “still-life’’ subject through her spectacles. , “Yea'm,” said the young photographer with pardonable pride. “Mother said I’d never be able to take her when she’s, awake ’cause she squirms so, but getting her asleep that way, and under the mosquito-netting, It was just as easy! And aren’t the legs of the bed splendid and clear?"
