TAKING THE BABY'S PICTURE.

THE MANIFOLD TRIALS OK THE POOR PHOTOGRAPHER.

There's a vast difference between photograping a baby and a grown person. In the first place the average infantile intellect Is very apt to clash with that of the operator. The photograper is alleged by some to possess an intellect, sach as it is, although the majority of bis victims claim that he "is only a clever automaton. With the photographer, as with the mesmerist, it is necessary that the subject should be passive. The baby is never passive. He or she as the case may be, is always either acutely belligely resj the way grapber'S success with babies is the UQ-

ereht or intensely responsive. Another .serious obstacle in tbe way of the jphoto-

accountable propensity many of them exhibit for sleep at all times and in all places, which, coupled with their capacity for growing alarmingly red in the face whenever awakened, makes tbe operator's life anything feat abed of roses. Tbe greatest man on •earth—che hero of a hundred battles, who can look grim Death in tbe face without winking—is like wax in the -hands of the photographer. He submits meekly to such indignities as having his •chin rudely eievatea to suit tbe requirements of art, and allowing his neck to be sharply twisted until bis jugular protests in

but tbe puniest babe in

arms will permit no such liberties. Strategy is the only power it recognizes. babies "aby boy, and always has a lean motbe/

Tbe worst of all is the fat baby. The fat bab.

abies to photograp 7 is usually

whose temper is not of tbe mildest. Before a satisfactory negative of tbe fat baby is secured tbe mother has made the unhappy operator's life a burden to him «nd be has earned his salary several times over. Set tbe boneless mass of missbappen flesh in the operating-chair, and he leans forward on his stomach, lolls out his tongue, and, while leering at the carpet, two streams of saliva course down tbe sides of his chin, making him a sight to behold. A 'little worse, and he will break the camera. All efforts to brace him up into aa attitude of semi-respectability proving futile, be is finally "taken" in a declining position, or is given up as a bad job.

Then comes tbe enimated baby—an India-rubber institution, augmented by the elasticity of countless steel springs. Nothing comes nearer perpetual motion than the animated baby. This variety

Eay

roduces an occasional female specimen, her on her back and she kicks roll tier over and she kicks and squirms with untiring perseverance stand her on her legs ana she will go up through the roof if she is not held down. If the photogapher is smart enough to catch her between jumps or kicks or squirms he will get a very decent negative otherwise it Will be all legs ana arms, and flannel petticoats, ana things.

When tired nature asserts itself and the equalling baby is perforce in a state of momentary repute, the photographer can, if be is quick enough, secure a very passable representation of this numerous variety but as natnra, in this in* stance, fails oftimes to get tired for soma weeks at a stretch, the country is not flooded with such representations. It is unnecessary to add that tbe squalling baby is invariably a girl

Some photographers make a specialty ig" babies, but as all babies, up to a certain age, and quite similar in appearance, it is presumed that he reduces the strain on his system by making use of an adjustable dummy for the foundation of his picture, incorporating with the (iuisbing touches a few objective points of the supposed original.

FASHIONABLE WOMEN. Fashion kills moro women than toil and sorrow. Obedience to fashion is a greater transgression of thelawB of woman's nature, a greater injury to her physical and mental constitution than poverty and neglect. The slave woman at her tasks will live and grow old and see two or three generations of her mistress fade and pass away. The washer-woman with scarce a ray of hope to cheer her in her Mi l, will live to see her fashionable sisters die all around her. Tbe kitchen maid is hearty and strong when her ladv has to be nursed like a sick baby. It is a sad truth that fashion-

forall

tampered women are almost worthless the ends of human-life they have but little forces of character they have still less power of moral will, and quite aa little physical energy. They live for no greator purpose in life they accom-

Soil

Ush no worthy ends. They are only forms iu the hands of the milliners and servants, to be dressed and fed to order. They write no books, they set no rich examples of virtuous and womanly life. If the? rear children, servants and names do all save give tbem birth, and when reared what are they What do they ever amount to but weak scions of the old stock Whoever heard of a fashionable woman's- child exhibiting any virtue or power of mind for which it became eminent. Read tbe biographies of great and good men and women. Not •one of them had a fashionable mother. They nearly all sprang from a strongminded woman, who had about as little to do with fashion as with the changing clouds. The trite saying, "A man may may say too much even on the best of subjects," will answer here.

CO VRTESr THAT PA YS. Few things go further in aiding the ostablishmont of a successful business than considerate and gentlemanly treatment of customers* It is the cheapest kind of an investment, yet yields the largest returns. This will be readily admitted by all who have been long in trade, if the subject is brought to their consideration, yet it is one of the very things that not only clerks but even proprietors are apt to forget. It rarely occurs to them to look at it in the same way as does the man ©a tbe other ride of the counter. As a practical test let anV dealer put himself in the customer's place and call it a doten stores and offices and take careful mental notes of the effect th* different styles of treatment he receives makes npon him. In one plao »nnds himself perhaps negketed ork waiting without any apparent iess»u\. until is is resolved to go away. At another bt ays things he does not reallv want« tly because he was treated with extreme courtesy and attention. It wiit be found, short, nothing mote than a realisation th" old adage, "poll ten is the cheapest and most profitable of the virtues.*

CLUBS AND SOCIETIES. "House Talk" ia Peoria Call. Tbe club and tbe seoret society, and their influence npon home life, is a subject worth considering. When a woman lives in apartments, with neither kith nor kin to bias her judgment, her view ought to be remarkablfnfcotral and unprejudiced. Fifty or sixty years ago, in those good old days when women wore mutton-leg sleeves and mob caps, and were always called females, the head of tbe family, at most, belonged to the Odd Fellows or Free Masons. The female stayed discreetly at home, sewing and making puddings and training up her children in the way they- should go—a work not to be despised or lightly considered. She had little or no public life* something which every woman of any pretention to intelligence or cultsre nowadays enjoys. And what a change has been wrought. Tbe husband no longer goes to lodge meeting one night in each week, "at early candle-lighting," returning therefrom at a correspondingly early hour. The chances are, especially if lacking force of character to make him of any prominence in his community he needs a power of bolstering up, be is an Odd Fellow, a Mason, a Knight of Pythias, a member of the Ancient Order of United Workmen if a college

S

raduate, a Beba or a Theba if a proessional man, a member of a professional society and a club, besides belonging to cbnrch and attending Sunday school. His expenditures in the matter of dues would support a family of eight persons in tolerable luxury. His assortment of belts, swords, gauntlets, plumed hats, stars, crescents and other mystical emblems, top boots, gold-fringed collars, coats of mail, embroidered tunics, and the like, would stock the property room of a provincial theater. Not only are his annual dues regularly asessed, but he must also attend conventions, bay tickets te banquetsand otherwise contribute to tbe current expenses of all these organisations, like the public spirited man and brother he is required to be. If be die, he will be taken care of by tbe members of his lodges, his widow and children may be. helped and his remains will be escorted to *the cemetery by a band of music and an imposing

Eome

rocession. Perhaps, if be stayed at and saved his money, he might not need tbe help of outsiders, even if bf tbey be bound to him by mysterious ties of brotherly love. But then, on the other hand, he might not save it, and it is well there are Borne returns, however small, for the very large amount invested.

Their wives are not behindhand, nor should they be. There is a homely old adage relating to the serving of the goose and gander, which may be applied. §be maintains her independence and belongs to the Hawthorne Club, a Shakespeare Club, a Suffrage Club, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the Cremation Society, and so on. She attends the meetings, serves on committees, becomes familiar with parliamentary rules, and can draw up a constitution and by-lays of which a member of Congress need not be ashamed. She assists the monthly, annual or semiannual receptions of all these clubs, contributing her cheerful presence and her literary or culinary attainments, as the case may require. Besides all these, being a good church. woman, she is an active member of the Industrial Society, the Altar Quide, or belongs to a divislod which gives at its appointed time an inviting supper. Then, probably, she is interested in charity and the Flower Mission.

One would think that, with so much outside work, their home duties would be neglected. But they are not. I know a dozen such women. Their housekeeping is perfection. Their children are well trained and carefully and tenderly looked after. Yet it is a question if all these, with the domestic economy to superintend, is not a little more than one woman should look after. Nobody can deny that women need outside influence to keep them in a state ef mental activity they are apt to become hard and narrow if they live tod much within the four walls of home. But to properly proportion tbe amount of public and

Fsaid,

rivate duty seems a difficult task. As the tendency toward the increase of duos and secret societies at present is very marked. The, final result is an interesting problem for the student in sociology. ____________

SHALL WE MEET AQ A IN 9 The following is a beautiful sentiment, and oae of the most brilliant paragraphs ever written by George D. Prentice: "The fiat of death is inoxorable. There is no appeal for relief from the great law whlcn dooms us to dust. We flourish and fade as the leaves of the forest ano the flowers that bloom and whither and fade in a day, have so frailer hold upon life tbaa the mightiest monarch that ever shook the earth with his footsteps. Generations of men will appear and disappear as the grass, and tbe multitude that throng the world to-day will disappear as footsteps on the shore. Men seldom think of the great event of death until the shadow falls across their own pathway, biding from their eyes the face of loved ones, whose living smile was the sunlight of their existence. Death is the antagonist ef life, and the thought ef the tomb is the skeleton of all feaats. We do not want to go through the dark valley, although its dark passage may lead to Paradise we do not want to go down into damp raves, even with princes for bed-fel-ows. In the beautiful drama of 'Ion, the hope of immortality, so eloquently utterea by the death devoted Greek, finds deen response in every thoughtful soul. When about to yield his life a sacrifice to fate, his Clemanthe asks if they should meet again to which be responds: 1 have asked that dreadful question of the hills that look eternal—of the clear streams that flow forever—of stars among those fields of axnre my raised spirits have walked in glory All are dumb. Bnt as I gaxe upon the living face, I feel that there is something in love that mantles through its besnty, that cannot wholly perish. We shall meet again, Clemanthe.*"

SAYS the New York Cost MENTAL: "A woman should not scream at the sight of a moose. It lets the ferocious animal know right where she is located, after which it may advance with tbe certainty of death npon its quivering prey." It to a notable net that a mouse never starts in the direction of a woman until after she screams.

Wshsjc a cold or other cause checks the operation of the secretive organs, their natural healthy action should be restored by the use of Ayer*» Fills, and inflammatory material thereby removed from the system. Much serious sickness and suffering might be prevented by thus promptly correcting those alight derangements that, otherwise, often develop into settled disease.

The train slowed up, stopped, the conductor came in abruptly, tbe mellow whistle died away in a scarce audible sigh. "Come," said the conductor, "I can't carry you any further."

The whistle rose, and as he vainly fumbled for a batton on his buttonless coat, started for the rear door. "This way," shouted the conductor, and the wnistler meekly turned and walked out by the forward door. A lantern swings out from the step, the train moves on and the homeless whistler is shivering out in tra snow. "What station is this,inductor "No regular station. It's a crossing. Station's two miles further down. Don't stop there." "Where did that fellowvet on?" "Climbed on at the tank, when we took water about twentjrmiles back."

MANY London ladies crop their hair short and wear an almostentire wig, and consequently catch cold more frequently than their American cousins, but of course they all use Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup. __________

BRUNETTES AND BLONDES. Classing women who never marry by their complexions, it is said there are more blondes than brunettes among them. This is supposed to be due to the preference of marrying men for brunettes, because they are more loving and not so fickle as blondes. Nine out of every ten married women who elope are blondes. Five out of every six married women who prove false to their marriage vows are blondes. Blondes are cool, calculating, mercenary, selfish, satisfied with their condition in life. Yet when a blonde is good true and faithful she makes abetter wife than a brunette. Brunettes hold their age better than blondes but they are inclined to be melancholy, to have the blues and their great failing is jealousy. At forty the woman who is a brunette is,remarkably well preserved and in her prims, while a blonde at that age is faded, wrinkled and peevish. Among men the blondes hold there age better than brunettes. A male blonde at forty leoks scarcely as old as a male brunette does at thirty. These are the conclusions of Dr. Foote after a close observation extending over a half century of medical practice.

THE USES OF AN ENEMY. "1 Rev. Dr. Deans. Always keep an enemy on hand—a brisk, hearty, active enemy.

Remarks the uses of an enemy: 1. The having one is proof that you are somebody. Wishy-washy, empty, worthless people never have enemies. Men who never move never run against anything and when a man is thoroughly dead and utterly buried, nothing ever runs against him. To be run against is proof of existence and position to run against something is proof ef motion. 2. An enemy is, to say the least, not partial to you. He will not flatter. He will not exaggerate your virtues. It is very probable that he will slightly magnify your faults. The benefit of that Is twofold it is to permit you to know that you have faults, and are, therefore, not a monster, and it makes them of such size as to be visible and managable. Of course, if you have a fault, you desire to know it when you become aware that you have a fault, you desire to correct it. Your enemy does for you this valuable work which your friend cannot perform. 3. In addition, your enemy keeps you wide awake. He does not let you sleep at your post. Tbere are two that always keep watch—namely, the lovei* and tbe hater. Your lover watches that you may sleep. He keeps off noises, excludes night, adjusts surroundings that nothing may disturb you. Your hater watches that you may not sleep. He stirs you up when you are napping. He keeps your faculties on the alert. Even when he does nothing he will have put you in such a state of mind that you cannot telLwhat be will do next, and his mental qui vive must be worth something. 4. He iB a detective among your friends. You need to know who your friends are, and who are not, and who are your enemies. The last of these three will discriminate the other two. When your enemy goes to one who is neither friend nor enemy, and assails you, the indifferent one will have nothing to say or chine in, not because he is your enemy, but because it is so much easier to assent than to oppose, and especially than to refute. But your friend will take up cudgels for you on the instant. He will deny everything and insist on proof, and proving it very hard work. There is not a truthful man in the world that could afford to undertake to prove one-tenth of all his assertions. Your friend will call your enemy to proof and if the indifferent person, through carelessness, repeats the assertions of your enemy, he is soon made to feel the inconvenience thereof by tbe zeal your friend manifests. Follow your enemy arouna and you will find your friends, for he will develop tbem so that they caunot be mistaken.

The next best thing to having a hundred real friends is to have one open enemy. ...

STORIES OF ANIMALS.

The most faithful mail messenger of Sullivan coanty is a dog belonging to the station agent at Winterton. When near the time for the arrival of tbe train the dog takes his place on the depot platform, and upon receiving the bag carries it to tbe po8toffice.

A Portland man put a large spider oh a floating chip in a pond. After walking all about tbe sides of tbe chip tbe spider began to cast a web for the snore. He threw it as far as possible in the air and with the wind. It caught on some blades of gras*. »Then. turning himself about, the spider began to haul the chip towards the shore.

A horse in Sayreville, Pa., has to haul sixty-five loads of clay and one load of eoal dust every day. He receives no orders, yet never fails to go exactly the right number of times to the clay pit, and then to the coal heap on the pier. He has his own idea of how much each load ought to be, and rears and kicks if too much is put on his cart.

Fbr fifteen years a horse belonging to Colonel Mott of Westbury has been driven at a certain hour to town for the family mail. Recently tbe animal was declared entitled to a rest, but at tbe usual time he broke from the stable and was soon at the postoffice. Tbe animal has ever since appeared daily at tbe regular hour at the postoffice.
