Small debts are what' blight the general business, of the country. Every storekeeper has a large number of small debts on his books, while every newspaper is beat out of hundredsof dollars. When it is remembered that aggregate., in many cases, amounts to handreds of dollars, and that it comes out of the profits of, Mb business, it can be easily seen why the sm all-debt system of the country figures largely in the discouragement and losses to the trade. We know at least a core of people whd aire church members, and many who are not, who desire jp be counted honest men and women, who will allow a small debt to darken their credit. These sums of money should be paid, and in ninety-nine cases out of every one hundred the debtors could pay th same. v v-; . A New York photographer prints a circular containing eight "Suggestions," md tlie following valuable advice lTo the Ladies:" When a
lady, sitting for a picture, would-
compose her mouth to a bland and serene character, she should, just before entering the room, say "bosom? and keep the expression into which the mouth subsides" until the desired effect in the camera is evident. On the other hand,she wishes to assume a distinguished and nobto bearing, not suggestive of sweetness, she should say- "bush," the result of which is infallible If she wishes to make her mouth look small, she must way "flip but if the mouth be already to small and needs enlarging she must sity cabbageV W sue wishes to look mourn fui she must
say "fcerchuuC'if. resigned:, she must forcibly ejaculate "s'cat" Ladies when having their phoiogiaphs taken may observe these rules with some, advantage to their appearance.
