Amateur Photcgraphing.

When one considers how much there is
that Is useful and delightful to do and to
know, it seems impossible to understand
how anybody can ever become lonely, or
bored or ennuied because he has nothing
agreeable TO do. In the country, and in the
country towns especially, there are infinite
resources for putting in the time agreeably,
and likewise learning something that win be
worth while.
The art Of photography, at home, by pri-
vate citizens, by ladies and boys and girls,
by anyb,dy, is attracting much attention at
present The fact that anybody can teach
himself to be photographer is not so widely
known as IL ought to be. Whoever can read
and "has fingers on him." as the old people
say, can learn to picture anything, from
pair of unconscious lovers upon doorstep to
Maud s. flying around the race track.
There are inexpensive outfits for photo
graphing now prepared and sold in all the
cities. There Is one, very neat and handy,
that costs only $40. The young people OF
school or neighborhood might club together
and secure such an outfit, in case it was not

She Takes the San Francisco Board Of

Tsan Francisco Letterl
The board Of education Of San Francisco
is in a bad predicamsnt owing to a recent
judicial decision, in accordance with which
the Chinese Of that city may demand educa-
tion for their children at the public expense
II was determined by the board that the
Chinese children should have a separate
school-houss, but when the building was pro-
vided no pupils were to be found except a
little 9-year-old girl, and her parents insisted
that she should attend one Of the public
schools near her home. The strife over the
matter called forth the following letter from
an indignant mother:
