Her Photograph.
BY M. l..
know the photographer pinned
A little white card on the screen
When he'd wrapped up his head In cloth
And focused his picture machine.
And as he turned back to the chair
lam equally certain that he
Said: won't you look right at this cardf"
Yet she seems to be looking at me.
And after arranging her chin,
And twisting and turning her head,
And adjusting the folds of her dress,
lam sure the photographer SAID
''Now please for moment sit still
And smile till you hear me count three"
AS he whisked off the camera cap.
Yet she seems to be smiling on me.
Ipresume that she thought it bore,
And that she was quite i'll at ease;
Saw little black specks in her eyes, 8.
And felt temptation to sneeZe.
That she wondered how long it would take,
And what sort of picture twould be;
And yet, when look at the face,
She seems to be thinking of me.
And when the brief seconds were passed,
And the artist had said THAT Is all,
Ipresume, as she rose from the chair,
She onl said when shall calf"
But the message that waits on those lips,
That smiling half parted, see,
Is as sweet and as fair as her face,
And it seems to be waiting for me.

The Flower Now in Fashion.

In contour, as in color, the chrysanthe- mum knows no margins. On one plant the bloom cuddles all its petals together, making round, soft ball of itself; on another it filings them out all fiat from the center in a great disk of color; third binds it's central petals into button or arranges them in crown or tuft and then sends out on every side rays of bright tints, some long, some short, but all in method as exact as on the stars of any order of honor. Some of the flowers curl their pretty fronds inward, oth- CTS curve them backward; some take the dahlia's form, others the sunfiower's; some assume the precise circle others radiate in quaint marginal devices. Of them all the Elaine, with its great feecy, snow-like flow CTS is, perhaps, the queen; but in such a puzzling variety of charms it is difficult to award the palm. The connoisseur turns, of course, to the coral red Mons Crousse, the no less curious La Frisure or to the ever new varieties, such the AfcMahon, the Gazelle and the Empress of India, but for the unini- tiated the equality of beauty suffices to make all admired. Nor is it only in tint and out line that the chrysanthemum arrogates privi- leges, but in size also for twenty pompons would lie upon the disk of one Elaine and the Empress of India overshadows like a shrub the tiny Christabel.
 Yet one more triumph has the chrysanthe- mum achieved. The glory of other plants, the perfume, seemed at one time beyond it's reach, but audacity or patience has con quered even here, and the Progue, with the color of the amethyst, has also the order of the violet. No further triumph remains for it.
 At the annual meeting of the Shepaug road all the old officers were reelected.

Tobacco Smoke.

From the British Medical Journal
 Zulinsky has recently published, in a Pol
 ish medical paper, the result of large series
 of experiments on men and animals made for
 the purpose of ascertaining the physiological
 action of tobacco smoke on animals. He
 has found that the smoke is a powerful poi
 son, even in very small quantities. In the
 case of man tobacco smoke, when not inhaled too freely, is only deleterious to limited ex- tent Zulinsky declares that the poisonous character of the smoke is not entirely due to the nicotine which it contains. Tobacco smoke rendered free from nicotine remains poisonous, though not to so great a degree 1 as before. The second poisonous principle is an alkaloid, colidin. Carbonic oxide, hy- drocyanic acid, and other noxious principles are also contained in tobacco smoke. The bad effects of excessive smoking depend very much both on the kind of tobacco consumed and on the manner of consuming it. In cigar-smoking the greatest amount of poison is inhaled, in cigarettes much less, in pipes still less, while those who indulge in the mar gilah, or any similar luxury where the smoke | is drawn through water, take tobacco in its l least mischievous form. Such are Zullnsky s conclusions. There can be little doubt that many of the light-colored tobaccos have been partially bleached in order to give them that | pale tint which moderate smokers believe to ! be an infallible indication of mildness. The 1 decolorizing agent is suspected to be, in many ! cases, deleterious chemical compound. Some of the light tobaccos smoke exceeding ! Iv hot, owing to the quantity of woody fibre which they contain. This is especially the ! case with s'bird's-eye," which is cut near the 1 stalk of the leaf, the slices of the naidrib, | thick in this part of the leaf, giving this va riety of tobacco the characteristic appearance I from which it derives its name. Birds eye' is very apt to cause slight inflammation | of the tongue, on account of the irritant character and heat of it's smoke; and, to. gether with other light tobaccos, must act very prejudicially in elderly smokers, who 1 may be prone to cancer of the tongue or lip. Dark tobaccos are readily adulterated; but 1 when pure they are probably the most whole some for pipe-smoking.
