DRESSING FOR A PHOTO
GRAPH.
How COIOrs Change I'm the Came-
ra-Why Actresses Take
the Best Picture.

1.-THE question is often asked" said
an experienced photographer, why
actors and actresses take the most
pleasing pictures. 1t is because they
study the principle of art and good
taste in their profession and under
stand how to dress. Moreover, they
usually bring a selection of wells, flow
ers, curls, braids, laces and sometime
costumes to give the photographer a
choice of accessories. They come
when they are wholly at leisure and
are not lustered. A red face takes
black, and they know it. Then they
do not load themselves down with
gew-gaws and haberdasheries, to show
all they have got in worldly goods.
Few persons know how to dress for a
picture like an actress. The best ma
terial for ladies to wear when about
to sit for a photograph are such that
will fold or drape nicely, like reps,
winceys, poplins, satins and silks.
Lavender, lilac, sky blue purple, and
French blue, take very light, and are
worse for a picture than pure white.
Corn color and salmon are better.
China pink, rose pink, magenta, GRIM
son, pea green, buff, plum color, dark
purple, pure yellow, Mazarine blue,
navy blue, ia wn color, Quaker color,
dove color, sshes of roses and stone
color show a pretty gray in the photo
graph. Scarlet, %claret, garnet, sea
green, light orange, leather color, light
Bismack and slate color take still dark
er, and are excellent colors to photo
graph. Cherry, wine color, light APP
pie green, Metternish green, dark
orange, dark apple green, bottle green,
golden and red brown show nearly the
same agre cable color in the picture. A
black silk always look well, and it
takes well if not bedecked with rib.
bons and laces hat will take white.
Dark Bismack and snuff brown usu-
ally take blacker than a black silk or
satin and are not easy to drape. A
silk, because it has more gloss and
reflect, more light, usually takes
lighter than a woelen dress. Ladies
with lark or brown hair should avoid
contr asts in their costumes, as light
subs tances photograph more quickly
thal dark, and ladies with light hair
Should dress in something lighter than
those whose hair is dark or brown.
Few ladies understand how to arrange
tho hair SO as to harmonic with the
form of the head, but blindly follow
the fashion be the neck long or short
or the face narrow or broad. A
broad face appears more so if the hair
is arranged low over the forehead oil
is parted at the side, and a long neck
becomes stroke-hke when the hair is
built up high, while a few curls would
make few agreeable change in the eff.
feet. Powdered hair gives good effect
and powder should be bestowed upor
1reckles.

Pittsburg Post.l
The expedited routes. however,
were the great source Of plumber.
When in Office Brady had entire dis
erection in the management of the star
routes-he defed aud set aside con-
gressional interference or guards, and
claimed the right to expend a years
appropriation in six months, thus
creating a deficiency congress was
compelled to provide for, else see all
the western mail service abandoned.
This was Brady's threat, and in it he
was sustained by the Hayes admins
t%ration.
What has been the result Of his
exercise Of this power. The contract
price Of the star routes was $727, l19
per annum, and this figure was raised
by Brady between 1878 and 1880 to
$2,802,2 l4, an advance Of $2,035, 095,
or 400 per cent. OF this it has been
shown the enor nous sum Of $685. 8
went to the Dorsey ring-Dorsey Of
the republican committee, whose
especial duty it was last fall to buy up
Indiana. The balance was divided in
sums varying 10 amounts from $4,000
downwards, to other favored con.
tracts.

Dick Thompson,s Canal.

E~x-Secretary Thompson has return
ed from New York, says Redpath's
Washington special. He reports that
the annOun cement Of defalcation with
the canal companys funds was exag-
Grated. The amount taken was 5000
instead of $4,000, and the man was
captured, and $500 of it recovered.
He says that the complaints about
poor provisions came from the French
engineers, who could not put up with
the native diet. Thompson says they
are progressing faster than was expect
ed with the preliminary work of clear
ing of trees and laying out the course
ofthe canal. He expects to be able
to have excavation started by midsum
mer. He is having 700 portable houses
constructed, to be taken down there
and put mp They will also take a
large stock Of all kinds of tools, inclu-
ding heavy steam shovels for excava-
ton. A narrow gauge railroad will
be run along the side of the canal to
carry out earth from the excavation
10 where it is me- ded for grading. He
is going to try an experiment with
American labor, and will test the
adaptability of negroes to the climate
by taking out a cslony Of some 800
blacks from the gulf states. If those
men do not stand it he may employ
Cuban coolies.

Special to the Cincinnati Commercially
WASHINGTON, May 10.-In the past
few days there have been marked
symptoms ola change among the dem
ocratic senators with reference to the
Robertson nomination. 1t is now ap-
parent that fewer of them will vote
with Conkling than his friends have
been counting on. The interview with
Dan Voorhees,, published here yester.
day and in the Commercial to day, has
been a sort of eye o pener, aud given a
better insight into the democratic pc
sition than has her etofore been had.
Among many of the democratic sena-
tors there is a disposition to make all
they can out of the q,1arrel, and this
selfish inclination does not lead them
in the direction of Con.Iling. He has
nothing to give. The great fount
of blessing is at the other end of the
avenue.

The Gazette's Nav York special
says: Mr.. Beecher baptized thirty
infants, the most Of whom were babies
in arms, yesterday morning. In his
sermon he discussed the religion Of
the present, describing it as lazarus
like, bound hands, head and feet,
and the religion Of the future,
which he said would still contain, no
matter how much else changed, the
two central ideas Of mans need Of
Gods perfect willingness to assist.
Mr. Beecher caused a general stare
when, during his remarks, he balanced
himself on one arm Of his chair and
for at least q moment continued his
discourse from pivotal point.

Grant and His Future.
,ial to Cincinnati Commercially

Special 10 ClnclnnauN commercially
WASHINGTON, May 10.--The Mex
lean railroad project of General Grant
attracts attention here because Grant
is into it than for any other reason,
A gentleman who contributed to the
Grant fund.- in New York says hat tho
money was raised to give the general
freedom from business cares during
his declining years, yet he goes on
Just the same, and is apparently as
disseminated in idleness as a fish out
of water. Some of his intimate friends
here thought he would settle down in
Washington for the rest of his days,
and the matter was often mentioned
to him, but the point of difference
seems to be his disinclinat!on to
settle down" anywhere to a life
of idleuess. Said one Of his
friends the other day: They
had just as well given Grant $3.50 as
S250,000. He is about as well con-
tented with one as the other. 1t is
not money he wants, but employment.
He has been active all his life. To
suddenly check the current of active
existence and turn it aside into stag
nant pools and eddies is no easy mat
ter, nor is it a pleasant matter. Look
at our ex- presidents. Andy johnson
was as restless as a bed bug after he
got back to Greenville, Tennessee. He
was in the full vigor of manhood. He
owned a farm, but it interested him
not. He walked over it as one in a
trance. The quiet little town Of
Greenville was no longer attractive
to him. He had no bust
ness. He could not well
take up the thread of his life where
he left it when he stepped from the
t~ailor's bench. He had no other
means of regular employment than
tailoring and public life. He was
acquainted with none other. He took
no interest in his farm. Driven by
sheer desperation, by illness, he
plunged again into public life-or at
tempted to-was defeated successfully
for the senate and congress, and then
was elected to the former position.
But the contest gave him employment,
he had something to do. and the stag
nant pools in the current of his life
were stirred again.
THE fact is, we are cruel with our
ex presidents. We turn them out
like exhausted canal horses to die,
except that an exhausted canal horse
has employment as long as useful, and
an ex president hasn't. He can't
turs his hand to anything. He is
surrounded by an atmosphere of dig
nifty. Who would want to see an ex-
president driving a milk wagon? The
plan to make them ex-oficio members
of the senate for life, is a good one. 1t
would give them reputable employ
ment, which is the main thing. Money
don't fill the bill.
There is Hayes, banished to Ere.
mont by a grateful republic. He has
money and is in the prime of life. Re-
port says he is happy, but | don't be-
lieve it. The current of his life has
been running too longin one course to
be checked suddenly. We should do
better by our ex-presidents han to
consign them to idleness and mem
ory."

Beniamin 3.

Columbus Miss.) Dispatch, 1lth.l
In the prime of his manhood, our
friend, Benjamin L. Perkins, has
fallen. He had been unwell for a
month, but was confined to his bed
only two weeks, with typhoid pneu-
monia. Born in Montgomery, Orange
county, New York, in January, 1913,
he was in his thirty-fourth year. He
came to Mississippi in 1867, locating
at Artesia, about six years ago re-
moved to Columbus, and for several
years past had held the responsible
position of bookkeeper for Billups &
Banks. The high esteem in which
his associates held him is evidenced
By the fact that be was noble grand Of
Union lodge, No. So, L. O.. o. f., and
guide in Lowndes council, No. 296, a.
i. Of II. The possibilities hal the
future had for him in this life are
ended; the vista Of hope closed. 1t
was written by Leigh Hunt that as
Abou Ben Adhem dreamed an angel
wrote in a book Of gold the names Of
those who loved the Lord; and he
asked the angel to write him as one
who loved his fellow-men. The angel
vanished. but came again to write,
land lol Ben Adhem's name led all
the rest" So, our friend loved his
felloW-men-in season and out Of sea-
son did things unostentatiously that
are published from the house-tops
when done by men less worthy. May
his sleep be peace, as his walk here
was fair and lovely.
The funeral will take place this
morning, at nine o'clock. from the
residence Of Mr. George L. Shattuck

San Anton 10, Texas, is considerably

in the heart Of the city. He resided
in San Antonio forty-eight years ago,
ard left as a captain in a regiment,

may have been misinformed as to thit
