The Dude and the Photographer.

"NOW, i say, mlSCan artlSC, L WlSR Us
have the pictshaw taken in rathaw z
languid pose. I wish to be taken ~ l
look while taking my aftahnoon siesta,
with a sort of satisfied air in my seti-
tude and an e%xpwashion of contemTssa-
ton on my countenance, you khaw. To
my mind that kind Of a pictshnw has
q certain recherche appearance that is
very taking with the fair c~reatchaws of
the opposite sex to whom l am very
parshail." This was said to a certain
well known photographer a few days
ago, by q washy-eyed young man, very
fashily attired, a straggly s~traw-colored
falcons so tight that he had the appear
ance of the living skeleton seen in the
sideshows. The young fellow was po-
litely shown into a side room to arrange
his toilet, and the artist returned to
where the Leader man sat.
..That's a dude" said the artist, with
a contemptuous smile. 'He's n of
nv regular customers, and scarcely q
week passes that he does not visit me
and have his photo taken in a different
pose each time. I am of the opinion
that some of his lady acquaintance are
having a great deal Of sport with him,
for every time he comes he describes
the posture he wishes to assume, and
adds that it has been suggested to him
by his numerous lady friends. Youcan
readily see from his appearance that he
takes anything but an attractive picture,
and no lady with even ordinary sense
could admire them, SO they must be
making game of him, and the poor, ig-
norant fool has not sense enough to see
it. Oh, no! he will not be ready for
more than half an hour, and 1 can talk
here at least that length of time. He
will stay in there and primp with more
care than the most famous society belle
in the country would do" 3

breathlessly asked. a1 ~ s
"Thank goodness, no! Not many In
this city. There are, perhaps, four or
five that come here, and they cause me
more trouble than their custom is worth;
but 1 have to stand it. At first it was a
diversion for me; but: it has lost that
interest now. Heaven knows what they
will do with all their photographs, "
continued the artist as he showed a rustic
scene back of where the subject was to
sit, .'for hardly a week passes that one
or two of them do not get from a hall

friends will certainly have AN interest.

Character in the Nose.

Great men have frequently ill-con-
structed noses. Small noses, oblique
in profile, are confined to people with
gentleness of temper, forbearance, at
tention and docility, disposing them to
receive and relish sensations Il delicacy.
Socrates, the philosopher, Boerhoave
and Lairesse, though great men, were Of
gentle and patient dispositions. Noses
arched from the upper part of the root
belong to elevated characters, those
born to command, firm of purpose and
steadfast in their undertakings. Anose
with a large ridge, straight or curved,
announces superior faculties. Such
were the noses of Dean Swift, Caesar
Borgia, Paul Sarpe and Titan. Per
|pendicular noses suppose q soul that
knows how to act and to suffer tran
guilty and with energy. Chaucer says
her nose Corrected strait" and Dante
means the straight nose when he styles
it .il dretto naso." Pug noses belong
to little great people; they always make
the motions to adjourn in apublic meet
ing, are full of bristling o%ficiousness,
make good errand-runners, are tolera-
bly, faithful, as lawyers full of techni-
c%alities, as preachers run in n rut,
and as doctors strictly follow the text
books. No man with a pug nose eve
set the Ohio River on fire or accom-
| plished much more than to humdrum
through life's traces. Snub noses gen.
are born disguised with everything.
Pugilists have frequently snub noses.
They indicate a hang-on-ativeness, and
somewhat of that quality in a maf called
perseverance, in a mule obstinacy.
Plato called the aquiline nose
royal, and some modern hath
it,: .God made the Roman, and
the snub." At any rate, the Roman
nosed were the movers of the worlds
destiny, the elegant Greek-nosed the
arbiters of art, and those distinguished
for imbecile insanity glorying in q snub.
Take, o take that 0 away. Sancho
Panza, the worthy squire of Don
Quixote, was frightened nearly to death
BY q nose. He trembled in every limb,
and, hastily dressing, ran for something
to eat at the sight of the terrible nose.
Most propably it was q useful nose
such a one as Erasmus describes in his
Colloquies between Coolies and Pompha-
gus. The latter had been absent many
years, and his friend Coolies at once re-
cognized him by his terrible nose, but
Pomphagus says he is not ashamed OF
his nose. .'Ashamed of 1T! No, indeed"
bursts out Coolies; II never saw a nose
that could be put to so many uses"
s.Ha, ha! uses, uses-what uses?"
eff the cellar was deep it could sniff
up the wine like an elephants trunk;
blow the fire; if the lamp was too glar-
ing it could suffice for a shade; it would
serve as a speaking-trumpetto a herald;
it could sound q signal of battle in the
field; it would do for a wedge in wood
cutting; a spade for digging, a scythe
for moving, an anchor in sailing!' till
Pomphagus threw up both hands and
cried out: .'Lucky dog that I am! and
I never knew before what a useful piece
of furniture I carried round with mel"

When the Princess Louise was at
Santa Fe, according to the New Meri-
can. she visited the store of a dealer in
local curiosities. After she had spent
some hundreds of dollars in ancient
Pueblo pottery, a wag, who was "onto
il" and who relished a joke upon &C.
casions, stepped up and asked her
Highness if she would like to see a real
curiosity. .Oh, indeed, yes said the
Princess. Reckoning her to the door,
the wretch showedher where the ancient
Pueblo pottery was being made with
great dexterity in the placita.

The Young Man Who Showed on.

twenty years Of age, accompanied by .
girl two or three years younger, reached
the city by a Bay City train, and after
looking around for q few hours returned
to the depot and bought some sand
witches for lunch. The fellow was heard
Dragging a good deal as to what he had
done and could do and cities he had
visited, and by and by he walked up to
the depot policeman and handed him
four fve-cent cigars and said:

''Oh, l guess not" carelessly replied
the other.
.Base scoundrel! I am here to rescue
this young girl from your clutchss!'
"Don't bust any buttons off, my young
cub"
The young man made a dash. He
had to or wilt. He, rushed at the big
chap with his arm appraised and heroism
in his eye, and the next minute he was
picked up and tossed over among a lot
of green hides as carefully as if he had
been glass. Then the big man raised
his cap to the girl, smiled weetly as he
bowed and scraped his foot, and he was
out of sight before the young man 9

Senator Jones's Start in California.

Senator Jones of Nevada had gone
to California with thousands of others
when the wonderful discovery of gold
in that far-off land thrilled every hamlet
and village. Among those who went to
seek their fortunes there was a man
named Hayward, from Vermont.
Hayward had a claim on the mountain
side that as yet had shown no particular
promise; still he stuck to it. One hot
summer day, when the Red Hills were
quivering with heat, Hayward came to
see Jones. Said he:
.Jones, l am very near the wonderful
vein. 1 know it,; 1 feel it, but | am flat
broke. Iwant $4,000; with that l will
make both our fortunes"
.sNow, old fellow" said Jones, 81
have known just 1000 men who were
in exactly your fix. They only needed
| 81. 900, and sometimes 500 to make
their eternal all" Finally Jones said:
~ will give YOU this money. I have
So. 900 buried under the fire place, and
when the fire goes out l will get it out
for you, but don't ask me for any more"
Hayward got the money; and said:
..When l strike it 1 will give you .
quarter interest.
One afternoon about a month after
this happened, Jones was sitting i n his
cabin when Hayward suddenly burst in
as white as a sheet. "Jones,' said he,
81 have struck it!' :,
They went together to look at it, and
sure enough Hayward had struck an
immense bonanza, or pocket" of
almost pure gold. Jones with his ex-
n]eriences saw It was the richest mine in
California. Hayward sold it to Wells,
Fargo and some others for S5,0oo,Ooo,
and the day the sale was made ne gave
Jones ST, 25O, 200. Jones afterward
married Hayward's daughter.-Louss'

large proportion of the cost of maintenance

England, France and other European coun-
tries proves that irrigation with sewage can

interested will find this subject thoroughly
treated in State Engineer Halls late report
TO the Directors of the Asylum for the In
sane st Stockton.
| Q-What would be the probable annual
cost Of operating the system of sewerage you
have outlined?
Al anticipate that it can be 80 arranged
| that the expense need not ba but little more
than that necessary for fuel for forty. horse

OF the water works, extending the buildings,
putting up additional boilers and erecting
the necessary Dir COMPRISING machinery,
think the men who now run the water
works could also attend to the additional
work OF COMPRISING air.
| Q.-When can this matter be brought be-
fore the people for their adoption or rejec'
ton, if it should be thought best 30 to do?
A.-By preparing the plans and ordering
an election before thu next tax levy. SO that
the money can be collected with next springs
taxes, or by submitting the matter at the
regular election next spring and collecting
the money later in the season.
