There is an enviable example of prosperity
up in Union square. His name is Smith, and
be is getting rich rapidly out of a big restau-
rant called the Dairy Kitchen 1t is con-
Quoted on the temperance plan, and band
of skillful musicians discourses good light
music during the afternoon and evening.
The place caught the tide Of favor from the
start. Smith made his money to establish
the business in curious way. He is en- in
velxive genius, with a fondness for music
The latter element should have prevented his
creating the masterpiece of his life, but it did
not
Invention triumphed, and the result was
tie ~kazoo, a musical nionstrosity that sounds
somewhat like the song of petulant tom
cat Smith looked after its introduction to
the world personally. and as he is expert in
advertising resources, he succeeded almost
beyond belief He took his horror to Balt;-
more. and within week the town was wild
The street boys were blowing k.zoos; CT
course, that would be expected; but the hotel
clerks, the dry goods clerks, the young men
about town, and even the banjo-loving girls,
took the crazs. and the sound OF kazocs rent
the air They organized kazoo bands, had
kazoo excursions ard kazco dinner parties. Il
came near getting into politics, ard might
have if Smith had stayed another week lie
made Sll coo clear within year, and then
settled down TO be caterer. Perhaps hls

MRS. CLEVELAND PHOTOGRAPHED.
A Graceful Pose and Charming Expire!
sioE-A Picture Man Made Happy.

A Graceful Pose and Charming Express
sion-A Picture Man Made Happy.
An employee of the photograph gallery at
which Mrs. Cleveland recently posed for a
set of pictures, gave your correspondent some
interesting particulars in regard to her man
ner before the camera. hrs Cleveland came
into the studio with Mrs Lamont, smiling
and chatting merrily. After removing her
hat and some kind of light wrap, she said
sweetly:
Nov, Mr. W., l place myself in your
hands for half hour. Do with me what you
will"
There was little work for tho posie:orist to
do, however. Mrs Cleveland fell into the
position best adapted for showing off her beau
tiful form and exquisite features with a
natural grace seldom seen even i'll veteran
society women The man at the instrument
was eager, as you may imagine, to do the
best work Of which photography is capable.
In fact, he considered the reputation of the
establishment at stake, and was in a furry
lest some fault in attitude or expression on
the part Of the sitter should detract from the
merit of his proposed masterpiece. When,
however, he looked over the camera and
scanned bis subject critically ne was all smiles,
and begging her not to stir, drew forth the
negative il few seconds with a flourish. 1t
was as he expected it-perfcct. The express
sion was its chief charm. The large. bright eyes
contained just enough Of an amused smile to
illuminate the face, without degererating into
the vulgar grin which some actresses assume
before the camera. Moreover. t,lo expression
was natural. 1t was the one that is usually on
Mrs. Cleveland face when in repose. The other
sittings in different positions were equally
successful, and not RESTING was necessita-
ted The pose Of her head i'll each position
was superb In fact, says the photographer,
she has the most gracefully poised head that
has ever come under his notice. Her change
of expression in some Of the pictures was re-
markable, too. From the piquant, amused
smile il the first, she took on a tender, dreamy
look in the third sitting. Both were beccnl-
in. and natural. but the latter woald be more
admired by an artist.
In less than a half hour all the negatives
were filed away, the services of the pCsitionist
being dispensed with nearly tho whole time.
During the ordeal. which tries even the souls
Of actresses, Mrs. Cleveland exhibited no signs
Of WEAKNESS, and after it was over she left the
apartment with her usual smile and pleasant
word to the artist When the negatives were
shown to her sho expressed herself as much
pleased. and praised his skill highly. The
success in this instance YVES due as much to
Mrs. Cleveland's natural grace and beauty as
to any artistic ability on his part.--Cor. Chi
cago Tribune.

The Vigo Bay Treasure company, Of
London, lately received a curious collec-
ton of articles taken from the treasure
g~alleons sunk in the harbor of Vigo,
Spain, in 1909. There are specimens of
logwood and mahogany that. in spite of
their 1874 years submersion, are in a per-
feet state of preservation. Dyers who
have experimental with the logwood
state that it Is ever better for dyeing
purposes than the wood now imported.
The mahogany, too, is very fine and
solid. One log has arrived twelve feet
long and twenty-five by thirty-twc
inches square, which is now being sawed
mp to be used in the manufacture of fur
niture and walking sticks for memen-
toes. The chief curiosity, however, is an
ancient pulley block four and n half feet
high by three feet broad, with four solid
copper sheaves, Is inches in diameter. 1t
is solid oak. and was probably used in
hosting heavy articles Of merchandise
or the anchors. The wood is perfectly
preserved, but an iron band is completely
corroded away, while the copper wheels
are only slightly oxidized.IScientific
