When one ooasidem how much then is unful *n^ delightful to do and ti Vnrrw it seem* impossible to tmderstend toir anybody CAB ever become lonely, Bond or ennuied because ha has nothing agreeable to doi In the country, and in th country towns especially, there ire inflnil resources for patting In the time agreeabl} •mi likewise learning something that will worth white.

The art of photography, at home, by private citizens, by lad las and boys and girb^ by anybody, is attracting much attention at jKCseok The fact that anybody can teach ttmself to be a photographer is not so widely known as it ought to be. Whoever can read «ad "has fingers on him," as the old peopls say, can learn to picture anything, from a pair of onconscioas lovers upon a doorstep te Mood 8. flying aroond the raoe track.

There are inexpensive outfits for photo graphing now prepared and sold in ail th£ cities. There is one, vary neat and handy, that costs only $10. The young people of a school or neighborhood might club together mwI secure such an outfit, in case it was not convenient for one person alone to gat. With every case of instrumaats goes a little book telling just how to operate. good book of tbii kind is "How to Take Pictures," prepared by the Scovlll Manufacturing Co., Jfew York.

A photograph is a sun picture. The principle of it may be illustrated simply. When you look at any object, a tiny picture of that object, upside down, is made in the back part of your aye, upon the retina. Further, if during a bright sunlight you cover the window with a heavy oilcloth «r paper curtain,

all

affect

so as

to darken

the room, and priok a pinhole through the curtain, upon the floor, where the light shine* through, you will see a bright spot which 19 an image of the sun. During the late eclipse many pers ns obtained a very •nail but perfect vie of it in that way The Linage on the floor showed the distinct dark shadow of the moon, upside down. Yery woll. That is the precise principle of .the

PHOTOOfUPHIO (UXKRA.

Suppose, now, where the bright spot strikes the floor, you should place a plate of glass, arepared in a certain way. so that it would tvtain the image which came through the frote in tbe curtain. Instead of the mere sunlight, have an object on which the light falls In such away that rays from it would stream through the curtain. The image would be «uight and held by the glass, so that it would f«nain after the glass was removed. There you have photography. You see the little dark eMmber in the illustration, with the sensitive giods plate at the back and the image upon It A glass lens is fixed into the aperture of the camera. The glass is prepared by spreading upon it certain chemicals that are acted 4a by tbe light. They are therefore called •Sensitive," and the plate thus prepared is oailed a Ksnsitive plate. The salts or chemical# are contained in a gelatin 111m which is •spread upon the glass. The sensitive plates, hoivover, come alroady prepared in the outr llt, so that the amateur will have no trouble with them. The next stop is called

DEVELOPING TH8 PICTURE.

When first removed from the camera tbe glass plate shows no imago upon its surface. Umust be immediately put into a dark place, It only by a red light, and plunged into a chemical bath. That brings the picture out Itow, will be explained in the litttle book. The rod rays are the only light that does not

the sensitive salts upon the plate. Next it must be printed. That, too, the hook will toll you how to do. By following directions carefully, in a little while you will he able to take a photograph of your baby, your cow or your mother-in-law. Fine portrait photographs, however, must always be finished by au expert*

Boys and men will delight in thus taking photographs. A gtntleman known to the writer hereof becamo interested in amateur fhotography about two months ago, and he ms already beoomo so expert as to be able to take instantaneous views from his office window. Many ladies have become fascisated with photography, too, and some take really excellent pictures. There are light containing all the implements necessary, to light that a woman or a schoolgirl can oarry one of them. Cliffs, trees, picturesque landscapes, a flower, a dinner table or an •artistic costume may be photographed in a moment. It is a far more fascinating and healthful amusement than rick-rack making.

Photographers now accompany all surveying parties and exploring expeditions. Photography has added new power both to solonce and to art.

INSTANT A. roc 0US PHOTOGRAPHY. Nothing more curious and interesting has keen discovered in half a century than this. Artists have in vain endeavored to catch with the eye and reproduce with the pencil tbe positions of animals in rapid motion— such as a horse running a race. The speed was so great that it could not be done satisfactorily. Now, however, comes in the instantaneous sun picture, and the thing is accomplished. By this process the amateur will be able to open his little dark chamber -qpon anybody, however unsuspecting, and •etch his face.

Below arc some views reproduced from instantaneous photographs.

You observe the horse.has set his hind foot down is thfr track of the fore foot before the ton foot got out of the way. It is a serious fault in a horse, and causes, often, injury and

Look at his toes turned in, his big, loose joints, his honest, open mouth as he gasss before him. Ncbody ever saw a photograph like that before, because no artist would ever allow a boy, bleei him I to stand in such an attitude. What a grievous amount of drilling and trimming is tfrfa awkward fellow will require before be learns to walk erect, throw his shoulders back, turn his toes out and keep his mouth shut!

Instantaneous photography is now being applied also to detective service. The movements of a suspected criminal may be followed up. The detective photographer hat his instruments with him in an innocent looking little case. He may whip them out and picture in an instant any suspicious action! be may observe, or he may take the man'a photograph to see whether he is the person who is wanted or not.

Facts In Forestry.

Thirty years ago pines were planted in the Bologne, a tract of waste land near Bloia. France. Fifteen y&ars afterward, as the pines were cut away, oaks sprang up spontaneously to take their places, thus tending ta restore what history tells was the ancient vegetation of the country. M. Emile HausenBlangsted states, in illustration of the struggle for existence anion trees, that the pint is dislodging tho larch in the Orisons, while there and in the Jura the beech prevails over both. In Switzerland generally the beech gains the place of the oak, fir and birch, and in Prussia the pine encroaches on the oak and the birch. Birches and the ash are extending themselves in the pine forests of Russia, and the birch ia dislodging the aboriginal pines In Siberia.

Fashions in Furnishings.

For country hbuses light and airy lace and muslin curtains are again the pretty style. Madras and Syrian hangings for walls and windows are popular. These are real or imitation fabrics from the regions their names indicate. They come in yellow, dusky red »nri cream stripes, either across or up and down. The fabric of one kind oi Madras cloth is so thin that it is like grenar Hina This is embroidered wiih silk in delicate colors. There is a very gorgeous hanging called the Nile curtain—perhaps because that was what Cleopatra used to shade her complexion in the voyage down the Nile. It ii sumptuous enough for that, at any rate. It is made in cross stripes of Madras cloth and cbenills in most dazzling colors. There ia also alight cross stripe of gold thread. For rooms with mattings on the floor comes a Japan curtain of straw-colored jute with •tripes and bands in dusky reds and browns. These are now the fashionable colors in everything, it seems. The Japan curtain is edged with network and tassels. Light oriental silks are also used for hangings. The most expensive of the fashionable curtains are of Russia lace. One of them costs as high as $560. Figured Swiss muslin curtains are as popular as they are artistic.

The graceful and airy willow and white wood furniture is the proper thing for summer oottagea It is pretty, indeed, all the year around.

I^earn to Talk.

In fashionable circles in tho large cities, at

present,

more attention is being paid to the

art of conversation than has been for soma years. This is a happy move. There is something appalling in the thought of being obliged to sit for a whole evening and "make talk" out of your own head. For that reason, dancing and games have been invented to fill the horrible void occasioned by the stupidity and mental emptiness of people.

Ladies are ambitious to become brilliant and entertaining in con variation. How the sparkling talker lights up a whole room with her radiance, and draws a host of people about her wherever she appears. Not she who talks of drees, servants and contemptible or spiteful personal matters. The brilliant talker is she whose mind is stored with knowledge of mankind, of books and things, and whose soul is gentle and sweet tempered.

Numerous ladies have formed conversetion clubs. Some are newspaper classes. These read the dispatches and current news gvery day and discuss them at their meeting*. There are literary dubs where ths members study and talk books. Then again there are debating classes, where women get upen their feet and tall, extempore, tbe reasons why they take this or that side of a

These are perhaps the best of alL speaking, forcible, eloquent and natural is pleasing beyond most kinds of talk.

Thee, again, there are parlor dubs, where men and women talk the mind cure, the faith cure, spiritualism, mesmerism, occulttan and all the new-fangled witchcraft of the hoar. But all wiH tend to the same end —to lift fashionable society out of empty trivialities, and cram women to know soma thing, to think scM&ethtng, and to be ahfe to tril it without awkwardness or sauna!

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL.

In your month—in your throat. That is the great American fault. By that means the tones are gobbled and obstructed, particularly the ""ri 8onndsL It is this that makes the "nosey" American voice that foreigners observe and comment on so unpleasantly. Worst of all, they are right about it. Our throaty, obscure national voice is tbe reverse of the dear-struck, ringing tones of which the vocal organs are capable. An Englishman says that he has never yet seen an average American who could say "L" They aU speak it "aiv," back in the throat and through the nose. A little observation will convince anybody that this ii true. Attention is not given in the United States generally to the culture of a pure, sweet speaking voice. Yet such a voice any woman can develop for herself. The mufn thing is to observe the simple ruie above mentioned—to make the sounds at the front of the mouth, and not back in tbe throat. Then learn to pronounce correctly. You can do this by observing the pronunciation of cultivated people. Enlarge "youi vocabulary by reading, by talking of the best things you know, and by knowing the best that goes on in the world of books, men and things. Consult your dictionary tot •very word you dont know the meaning of. A natural desire to please and make those happy around you will do the rest. With all these you will in time become a brilliant talker.

Only widows should wear widows' ruching. Chenille trimmings will remain fashionable. Blouse bodices for young girls are much

Black repped silk is Suitable for half mourning. Table lamps, with pink and blue shades, are fashionable.

Table napkins are embroidered with a single large initial in the corner. Walking costumes are elaborately trimmed with woolen or yak lace, which cornea in all colors.

A zouave jacket of dark blue velvet has the edge and arm holes studded with gold beads.

A lady says she looks into the mirror fre-' quently in order to prevent herself from becoming too vain.

Have plenty of large mirrors in your rooms. Nothing can so set off a house with effects of light and brilliancy as these.

The bride wears white gloves, and the guestB tan-color, at an evening wedding. The bridegroom and ushers need not wear any.

It is noticed that colored flowers are more generally liked t.hia spring than usual There are pansies in profusion, and they offer re markable combinations of colors.

Boating Costumes*

We give this week two pretty and simple patterns for dresses to be worn upon the water. Nothing is more picturesque here than a suitable costume. Itmakes a pretty girl look prettier and a plain woman handsome. Moreover, and always, it is the duty of men and women both to look as well as they can on all occasions. They should not go beyond theii means, neither should they in dressing themselves put on anything that will do them injury, such as poisonous cosmetics, tight boots, squeezing corsets, and over heavy garments that make life a burden. But apart from such as this, they should always take pains to look well. Did not Shakespeare himself say: "Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy."

So we take pleasure in laying before our readers costumes which, whether for lake, river or sea, will be suitable this summer. These pretty costumes, like some others that we have given, were designed for this column by Redfern, of New York.
