Photography a. Il Recreation.

Biography can be called one of the arts. but there

everybody else by taking photographs of his

his camera with him as If it were a handbag
And only yesterday We heard pleasant account
OF a young American lady abroad who photo
graphs instead OF sketches and Illustrates ner
Journals for home with views taken on the
spot. greatly to the delight of her friends.
sketching certainly Is finer art than photo
graphy, but everybody cannot sketch and
everybody-at least, almost everybOdy-can
with little practice, take very good photo

from the New York Times.

IIoLn the new YORK lines.
Not only will Queen Victorias knee conf1ne
her to the house until after the coronation Of
the Car, but it now appears that neither the
Prince uf Wales nor the Duke of Edinburgh will
be able to witness that melancholy ceremony
There is a general feeling In England that the
Duke of Edinburgh who married sister Of the
Car, Is the proper person to represent the Eng
llsh rovai family at the coronation but the Duke
is not feeling very well just at present. and also
agrees with his elder brother that their proper
place is not exactly at the bedside, but within
easy CALL of their poor suffering mother, whose
knee may at any time break out with renew ed
violence.
In these circumstances the Queen has been
Obliged to appoint some one to proceed to Rus
sia as her representative. Instead of appoint
Ing Mr. Bradlaugh or Mr.. Parnel-any one in
! fact, who could be spared-she has selected
Lord WOlseley, and that unfortunate man is
even now making his will and distributing his
swords, pipes and other personal effects among
his personal friends. 1t had hitherto been sup
posed that the Queen was admirer of Lord
Wolseley. and her sudden manifestation of a
desire to be rid OF him must be great surprise
to most Engllshmen. The truth probably is
that Lord Wo!seley has spoken or written with
too great freedom, and has expressed himself
ID way displeasing to Her Majesty. He may
possibly nave failed to manifest proper de-
gree of grief over the death of the late John
Brown and is now to be offered up as a sacrifice
to the names of that eminent Scotchman. or
course, the most profound pity is felt for
the young General whose brilliant career is thus
to come toa tragic end 1t Is to be hoped that
at least fragment of him large enough to af-
ford preteXt for afuneral will remain after the
coronation is over. In that case the British
people Will give him a funeral that will be
worthy of the faithful soldier who went without
murnur to face the dynamite at the command
of his Queen.
1t is strange that the limited States which
has always been on friendly terms with Russia,
has not sent representative to the coronation.
Among the many men who are fitted for such a
mission, the name Of Mr.. Chauncey l. Filley
will occur to every one. There is no question
That he would go to Russia-were he to be Sc
lected as our representative-with the hearty
goodwill OF every American citizen. He has
long been searching for government position:
now let this particular government position
search for him. Let him go to Russia with in
strnctions to keep close to the Cars carriage.
and the whole country will feel that the right
man is in the right place

the first magnitude. It lie Capella, the chief
brilliant in the constellation Auriga. This star,
which is of totally different color from Arctu-
rus, disputes with him the claim to precedence
az the brightest star in the northern hemisphere
of the heavens. Northeast of Capella, and low
down in the sky, are Perseus and Cassiopela,
but they are too close to the horizon to be well
seen at this time Of the year. Between Auriga
and the Great Bear are a lot Of small stars COM
prislng the constellation Of the Lynx
The planet Jupiter is just now SO situated that
it may somewhat confuse the observer In his
efforts to recognize the stars, though no one
who has once had it pointed out to him will ever
mistake this or any other planet for a fixed
star. The planets light is steady. and shows no
scintllatiOn like that of the stars. Jupiter Is
now southeast Of Capela, and pretty well down
in the western sky; the observer will have no
difficulty in recognizing 1t, as it outshines all
scintiating rays. In June other consultations
will be rising in the east

From the Lewiston journal.
In the northeast corner Of the northeast state
is state Of itself, where Thousands of emil.
grants may ind homes, health, happiness and
dollars. Thousands and thousands Of acres ars
yet to be cleared. county, nearly as large a,
the state Of Massachusetts, is In the infancy Of
its development. The SOIL the large part OF
which has not been disturbed by the pillow. is az
rich as the famous black mold of Dakota, the
far away land where 50 many Of our young men
have gone. There is money. in the ia,
soil Of Aroostook. Land such as this,
free from stones, easily titled, and of an
even and mealy quality to a great depth, and
for Its whole extent is, of ITSELF sufficient guar
antee OF the growth, prosperity and wealth OF
the region. The great ease with which its crops
are planted and secured and its wonderful yield
per acre are unequaled by few countries on
the face Of the earth. The AroostOok pioneer
raises among his stumps the very year he makes
MS frst clearing enough grain to pay for the
work OF cutting and burning should he hire 1t
done, ana las much again as he will tell you,
or 100 per cent additional. Wild land may be
bought for S3 to IS per acre, and for S12 per
acre additional by contract may be converted
into helds ready to be tickled by the hoe. But
Aroostook Is not to be purely agricultural re-
gion. There are to be cities and villages in the
great northeast. Aroostook's lumber product
Is already immense and it makes starch for the
world. The manufactures of Aroostook are to
be enlarged and diversified. 1t has room for
mechanics and artisans. The faster its land ia
cleared and titled the more rapidly its important
shipping points will grow and increase Better
railroad facilities will open avenues of progress,
augment its trade. give increased impetus to its
manufactures, and. by reducing the distance to
market. enhance the value of its crops. Let no.
body think AroostOok county is destined to be a
lonesome place. Ithas future. There you may
cheerfully invest your money and yourself 1t
Is not the place for lazy man. That place
hasn't been found. But man needs to work
no harder to achieve success in Aroostook than
IN Dakota, Montana or Kansas. A competence
ls assured to every man who is willing to work
for it. The rewards of toll are as great as in
the west, and the risks are less There are
fewer opportunities for speculation, but the for
tune which the tenth Spectator makes comes
from the nine who lose the world over. The
prosperous condition of the people of Aroostook
1s sufficient proof of the excellent opportunity
for successful career which that magnificent
region offers.
