Amateur photographers viii be inter-
ested in learn ing that the disadvantages
under which they have labored are
now almost entirely obviated by new
invention which practically does away
with the necessity of trar sporting
cumbersome implements, and under
taking the delicate and comp Heated
processes so yexstious and difficult,
especially in out-of-door work. An in
strument called the tourosraph, used
by the author OF "Canoe and Camera,
in his last expedition through the
wilds of northeastern Maine, Is de-
scribed by him as being compact, light,
easy of manipulat oa, and especially
adapted to the wants OF tourists end
others who desire to practise the beau
tiful art of photography. 1t is worked
by the dry process. The plates are
contained in an upper box, so con-
structed that each plate canibe lowered
into the body OF the camera, and sfter
exposure rs easily returned without
allowing any light TO strike il. There
is also an eye-p!ece for adjusting the
camera, saving the ope rator the trouble
OF focusing under the dark cloth. The
whole process of manipulating the in
strument is said TO be so simplified thai
any person of ordinary INTEL igence
can learn to use il in few moments
and it can be carried on an excursion
as easily as an ordinary lunch basket

FRUIT IN The CELLARs.-When the
fruit cellars is separate from the house
it should be kept just above the freez-
ing point; such cellars do Hot require
ventilation. Cellars under living
rooms must be ventilated, otherwise
the gases given of while the frult Is
r1pening-and TOO frequently decaying
will endanger the health of the in
mates, There is demand for special
care in this matter, at the present time
because the fruit has been SO abundant
that there is an unusually large amount
stored in the cellars. If the house is SO
constructed that an opening can be
made from the cellar into chimney,
ventilation may be very complete; an
opening which can be closed at pleas
ure should be made TO admit air from
without when desirable.

Monkey shooting in Gsmbi..

The mere fact of slaughtering mon
keys will probably not cause any great
degree of pleasure TO any one aspiring
10 the title OF sportsman, though at
the same time a man choosing to kill
as many as possible might yet not con-
ziGer himself altogether wsnton in his
sport, for the monkeys may be termed
yermin. They are a great nuisance to
the sgriculturist, and cause much loss
in The ground nut plantations, where
they frequently pick the seed out OF
the ground almost as soon as it is
planted. To shoot the Gog-faced mon-
key Is easy, but to make Il bag is quite
smother matter. You may knock him
cut OF "a tree or you may bowl him over
Oh the ground, but you will not find
him on the spot where you feel sure
you saw him fall. Dead or alive, his
companions carry him of, and pursu-
ing monkeys on foo: is not a game
which man is adapted to play success
fully. The most likely way to secure
specimen is 10 take little boat and
pull gently along close inlo the bank,
just after sunset at which time the
monkeys frequently collect in the
branches Of trees Overhanging the
river; thus oEe may be shot so that he
Ialls into the water, whence his friends
are powerless to rescue him. The
great draw back to the method of aqua
tic stalking is tnat in thc upper river,
and especially at the close OF day, the
mos quItoes fairly swarm, coming down
On one in clouds, and making shooting
matter of great determination an en-
duranee. Certainly it is very easy to
say that such and such game may be
shot by lying out at night; but this
nCcessitates an amount of exposure
against which most Europeans are not
proof, 10 say nothing of the attacks OF
The above pests, though they may, TO
a certain extent, be baked by wearing
over the hands and face bags made OF
some light material-leno, for in
stance. Perhaps at some future date
monkey skins may become of CONNER
cial value, and when they do the Gam
bia will be able TO flood the market.

Diamor d Snatcners.

A resident in New York, says that one
of the jolliest ways in which crime out
works itself Just now is the diamond ear
dodge. Ladies'" so-called, promenade
our streets and ride in our cars and buses,
wearing enormous stones in their ears. Now
and then these enormous stones are gen.
uine diamonds; oitener they are Parissns

snatcher. He approaches the dame softly

DURING the dead OF winter any Hv-

the cLeerfulness CT room, and mass
of beautiful verdUre is obtained by the
following expedient: Take about

two inches long. Hang them up for a

The custom Of trepanning, or making
an opening in the skull to cure certain
internal malad;es, prevailed extensive
ly among the men of the neolithic
times of the arch biologists. Persons
who survived the process were sup
posed to be endowed with mystic pro-
perties. DR.. Broca supposed that the
custom died out with the Introduction
of bronze; but Miss Buckland, in a
paper read before the British Associa-
tion, showed that the custom still ex-
lists among the South Sea Islanders,

Rountaineers OF Montenegro.

FARM AND GARDEN.

WHICH SHALL IT BE, CATTLE Oh
GRAIN.-Both. A mixed husoandry is
safest for the masses. The South has
suffered from scarcity OF meat anu
milk, and plethora OF corn and cotton;
MANY a Minnesota farmer has helped
TO feed the East and England, while
he has been destitute OF milk for hls
coffee. or butter for lis superabundant
bread. IL mas been repeatedly shown
that those countries which produce
corn and cattle most largely, boast
higher land valuation than the great
wheat countries. Ii Is not only In IN
diana and Illinois, butin the new STATE
of Iowa as well, where spring wheat
has ever been a specially. TAXING
broad view OF the future requirements
for meat and bread, We see that II Is
the policy of all nations (Great britian
alone excepted) 10 produce their Dreao
at home. They dare not risk depehu-
ence In so vital a matter. Ii a Dad mar
vest makes small deficiency, II can
probably be made good very aound-
ant harvest may give q small surplus.
Meat is less bulky and will better Dear
the expense of transportation; so the
use of meat by European nations Is In
creasing, and the price mas steadily IN
creased curing the past 30 years On
the contrary, wheat, with temporary
fluctuations, is no higher than IN tue
long ago. James Gard says the cost Oh
bread in England was Isrthing per
pound both in l77O and 1873, while
meat advanced from three and one
half TO nine pence in the same time,
and from five to nine pence between
1850 and 1873. The recent and unpre-
cedenIed iortign demand Tor wheat Is
the result in part, OF series oil extra
ordinary crop failures, which wlII not
permanently continue. The enlarged
demsnd Tor meat is In far higher de-
gree the result Of causes more perman-
ent in their operation. The outlook
for meat is, therefore, better than fof
! grain. Yet both viii be required as
population increases, In rapldiy eniars-
ing quantities.

avoided, BY forming the corrugations
