FUN AND PHOrOGRAPHY.


The other day four or five people dropped into
Des Aoines photographers saloon to have pic-
lures taken. One lady had baby to be photo
graphed; another wanted to perpetuate her own
likeness; two or three more were on the same
GRAND, and one was to have pet cats picture
taken. The lady with the cat was the first on
the list. and pussy was placed on box, her hair
smoothed down, q red ribbon adjusted, her
| whiskers fixed '.just So" and her tall wrapped
softly around her front feet. She Was then pat
ted on the head. told to keep very quiet and
the camera was turned on her. The operator
stood. watch In hand, counting or the seconds,
while the owner Of the cat stood with her heart
In her mouth wondering II pussy would move.
When the time was about half gons-woe to
the best "laid plans OF mice and men"-and the
picture was about assured. In came an old farmer
and his wife, with three fine specimens OF bull
dogs to be taken" The dogs were lust at their
foolish age when they think they must know
everybody's business as well as their own. They
also developed very suddenly their love for cats
love to see the cats run-and they made q
straight shoot for pussy, who was quietly wait
Ing the finishing touches on her picture. She
did not stay any longer but, in less time than 1t
| takes to tell it, her back made a half moon, her
| smoothed hair was all spoiled and her tail alone
was too big for the camera. With a spit and
yell she jumped from the chair and attempted
TO go home. The windows and doors were
all closed, and that effort was failure She
did not sit down at the door to ask to
go out, because the pups kept her busy keeping
out OF the way. She ran under every chair in
the room. over every table and into every nook
and corner. The pups followed, both of them
yelling like mad. Every woman in the house
climbed chair and screamed, the baby yelled
| at the top OF its voice. the farmer followed the
pups, trying to induce them to give up the
chase, and the operator stood and looked as
though he was wishing cats and dogs had been
forgotten In the general makeup of things
After the cat had tried every other place, she
made dart for the dark room, and. as the pans
and other traps went tumbling to the floor the
operator groaned groan that was full of an
gulsh. 1t got too warm in there for pussy
and she sought for more quiet abode. Some
one had been thoughtful enough in the mean
| time to open window, and the cat, whose eyes
were opened wider than when sitting for her
picture. saw the chance for escape and improved
it. The whole outfit, pups and all. had to go
home for repairs and to cool off, and that gal
lery lost three or four jobs for the day.

a Stint 70 Ladies Going Abroad.
Lucy Hooper in Philadelphia Telegraph

Lucy Hooper In Phtladeiphia Telegraph
would advise my countrywomen who pro-
pose coming abroad to steer clear of either of
the two extremes into which American ladies
are apt to fall, then they come to Europe, in re-
spect Of baggage. They are apt to bring either
ZOO much or too little. Some provide themselves
with full summer wardrobe, comprising light
muslin and gauze dresses, fanclful f1ounced un-
derskIrts, etc. Others leave behind them every
handsome article Of dress that they may happen
to possess, with the intent to purchase whatever
they may need In Paris. Both style ofaction are
unwise, watering-place wardrobe Is totally
useless In the round Of travelling and
sightseeing that goes to make up sum-
mer tour In Europe. On the other hand.
1t Is never well to buy new dresses when
one first arrives, merely to have their freshness
destroyed by being worn to the opera or to some
Informal entertainment, to be crushed into q
steamer-trunk and carried hither and thither
being worn at the most some three or fOur
times. would recommend to every lady who
purposes coming abroad to make q careful Sc
lection from her last years wardrobe and bring
the things over that she wishes to wear ont A
handsome walking dress Is necessary; 1t should
be Of dark, subdued colors. also rich demi-
toilet, q black silk or satin or silk gauze, trim
! med with lace or Jet, and having two waists,
one cut square, with half long or lace sleeves.
and the other with long sleeves and made high
to the throat, viii be found extremely useful. I
have known American ladies on their travels to
be good deal hampered by the lack Of Just suon
! dress.

A Kings New Palace.
Berlin Letter to the London Daily News.


King Louis H., Of Bavaria, has recently re-
turned to Munich, after having passed the last
four months at his new country seat, Neu-
schwanenstein, New Swans Stone.) This is
the newest and most magnificent Of his numer-
Gus castles, and in point Of size may be ranked
with the most celebrated castles on the CONT
nent. Neuschwanenstein stands on the isolated
Tegelrock, opposite to the well known Hohen-
schwangau, and two draw bridges connect 1t
with the carriage roads on either side The
castles has height Of six stories, with rich dec
orative architecture in pure Italian style, and
numerous balconies and concentrates, all
in solid granite. In the middle great
with two verandas near the top, from
which grand view of the BayarIan
highlands may be enjoyed. The roof of the
palace is covered with copper. crossed diago-
nally by gilded plates. An enormous court
leads to the majestic portal, which is a marvel
of the stone-cusfer's art. The front of the right
wing Of the castle is decorated with two fresco
paintings, 40 feet high, one of which represents
st. George fighting the dragon. and the other
the Virgin Mary with the Child, as the protec-
tress Of Bavaria The pedment OF this wing
bears Bayarian standard. while the left side Is
protected by bronze Bavarian lion
The interior of this royal residence Is highly
decorated by innumerable statues and double
Columns IN the style OF GenOeSe palace, and
the eplendOr Of the state-rooms can hardly be
described. The ceilings are overloaded with
decorated stucco work, while the walls are en-
bellshed with frescO paintings by the first NM
Mich artists. The subjects Of these paintings
are taken from the history of the Bavsriao
kings from 1903 TO 1867. from episodes of the
-Prussian war of 1S70-'7l, In which Bavs-
rlan troops took part, and also from the last
music dramas Of Richard Wagner. the Ring
Of the Nibelung" and "Parsfal-" The aoors
Of the halls are either Of mosaic work
or OF various woods in harmonious pat
terms. The kings apartments are on
the sixth story, which, besides his study,
private library, and bed-chamber, only include
an audience chamber for receiving the minis
terial reports. The royal study is decorated
with the marble busts of the kings parent, of
Richard Wagner, Gen. Won der Tam, Herr von
Lutz and Augustus Heigl, the royal private
secretary. besides painting representing q
scene from Wagner's "Rhinegold." 1t was in
this chamber that King Louis received the news
of the sudden death Of his friend Wagner. The
fourth and nth stories contain the large halls,
destined for the extensive library, and the col
lections Of arms and coins. The ground floor In
cludes grand staircase with gold decorations.
The entire castle is Illuminated bv electrical
lamps-Jablochkon candles In the courts and
Swan and Edison lamps in tho interior Even
the royal stables are decorated with fresco-
paintings which represent prehistoric scenes.

Taxation iR Future,

Henry 1abOuchore In t0rtn1xnay REVIEW.
Taxation will be based upon the excellent prin-
ciple that o certain amount Of money being
required In order to meet the cost of govern
ment, those ought, in the main, to pay it who
can best afford It The sums that are now
levied on industry by means Of customs and ex-
else will DO raised by progressive income tax
and progressive succession duty. 1t is very
clear that no individual can want more invest
ed capital than such an amount as will produce
In interest an income sufficiently large to en-
able him to crafty all his real and all his ACQUIRED
wants. More rs surpiusage. and the owner of
that society should be taxed to secure him in
the possession of it.. What can man with a
fortune beyond the very dreams Of ayarice do
with his money? He has to compete in thous-
ahds with others as rich as himself for the DOS
session of china cups and Saucers which NAV he
intrinsically worth as many pounds, or he en-
ploys it in some other equally silly manner.
Very large fortunes the Americans are
earning-are positive danger to a Democratic
state. To take from the individual all above a
certain amount, however Just in theory. might,
however, have it's disadvantages To take one,
half beyond the amount regarded as alike safe
to the state and sufficient for the individual
would be beneficial to both, and so per cent
might be laid down as the limit to which an in
come tax should in any case extend. It may
cease beyond the fixed amount. No harm
would ensue If it did, but as matter of fact It
would not. OF course, right to raise money
for local purposes now possessed by ex-officio
magistrates would be- be at 20 once swept away.
imposition OF local taxes by the representatives
of all the inhabitants Of locality. and local
control over expenditure, would be pushed to
their ultimate consequences. We should have
elected parish boards in each parish Just as we
have now elected borough boards in municipal
towns. In each county there would be an
elected county board, and each board-county,
municipal or parish.would have full power over
all matters which only affect its locality.
The excellent system Of local self-goyernment
| which obtains in some Of the New England
| states might be adopted by Us almost in It's en-
| tirety with signal advantage. Thus the people,
by being allowed to control their local affairs,
would receive political education and be bet
| ter able than now to realize the duties and re-
sponsibilties of citizenship. Local self-goyern-
ment also, in the full aeceptation of the word,
would be accorded to Ireland, and In this way
the long-standing grievances Of the Irish would
be removed.

How tho French Adulterate


Paris Correspondence Philadelpftr Telegraph.
The wine merchants Of Paris held meeting
the other day to protest against the action of
the government in making public the analyses

American consuls for drawing up reports On
the same subject. These good people are de-
sirous Of being left to poison the public in peace
and after their own fashion. How pernicious
some of their merchandise really Is may be

president of the Boston bicycle club, was elected
honorary member; The name Of the new organ

that there are two papers and one magazine

WHY MACHINES COST so MUCH.
In conversation with Mr.. W. C.. Scribner, the
proprietor of the bicycle school, yesterday, a
STAR reporter asked him what good bicycle
cost.
''The cost runs all the way from 800 to $685."
was the reply. But the machine that you now
pay $50 for is entirely different from machine
of the same price three years ago. The present
machine Is made Of better material and there
have been numerous improvements added"
What is the nature Of these improvements"
asked the reporter.
1.-The improvements was the reply "are In
the bearings, tread and spokes in the rim, tires
and springs. 1t is not that the material is so
much better as it is that it is lighter and yet
strong. The competition is now to make the
lightest machine and yet make it strong"
Cant the machines be made for less money!"
inquired the reporter.
Certainly they can" was the reply, 'but the
patents upon them add to the cost: The prn-
ciral patents expire in February 1885,
The annual races of the Capital club will be
held some time in the latter part of May.
