Printers Ink and Photography.

For the benefit of those persons not
familiar with processes by which
photography is used in connection
with printers ink, it may be well
to describe it briefly. A sheet of
glass is covered with film of sensitized
gelatine, upon which the light coming
through a Photographic negative is al-
lowed to fall. Whenever the light comes
through unobstructed the gelatine is made
insollble: elsewhere it will absorb water
like Il sponge. After being washed in
water al ink roller is passed over the
gelatine surface, and it is found that
where the gelatine is hard and dry the
ink "takes," but where it is spongy and
full of water does not take. From such q
plate pictures in printer ink canbe made
with an ordinary press. The same plate
sufllces for thousands of copies sometimes,
and gives delic;icy of tone which prom
ises to drive wood and steel cuts out Of all
fine books. Carefully made pictures by
this process are unQuestionably finer than
photographs. New York Post.

The Germ Theory In 1871.

1t has been found that Pasteur's germ
theory was anticipated more than CEN
tury and half ago by physician Of
Lyons named Cotton, who, in writing
about the origin of the great plague, in
l7o1, made the following statement:
Minute insects or worms alone can ex-
plain these diseases. 1t is true they are
not visible; but it does not therefore fol-
low that they are non-eXistcnt. 1t is only
that our microscopes are not at present
powerful enough to show them. We can
easily imagine the existence of creatures
which bear the same proportion to mites
thut mites bear to elephants. No other
hypothesis can explain the facts Neither
the malign influence of the stars, nor ter
restrial eXhulations, nor mlasmata, nor
atolus, whether biting or burning, acid or
bitter, could regain theiI vitality once
they had lost It, If on the other hand, we
admit the existence Of minute living crea-
turc, we understand how infection can be
conveyed in latent condition from one
place to break out afresh IN another.

Servants of the English Arlstocraey.

The children Of the farmers are proHd
to he taken as servants of the hall: the
gamekeepcrs.and bailitrs and head gart:ei-
ers are the grandees OF the inferior world
All this class of dependents, by far the
most comfortable Of the laboring people
in England, live only to serve their bet
tcrs, to contribote to their comfort and
grandeur. Their very numbers are Il part
of the pomp of the aristocracy. They
come to look upon themselves as the ap-
purtenances of rank, while the humber
sort, those who live in the gardens and
stables and kennels of the lords, or the
house servants who pass their existence
cleaning their siver, preparing their
viands, whitening their hunting breeches,
and dressing their hair, have no concep-
ton of state of things in which
man is equal to man. They do their
work, not rs self-respecting people do III
other cuuntries-for hire, as matter of
business exchanging labor for pay-but
for the honor of it; for love sometimes,
and always because it is proper, because
it is their duty and their place to wait on
the lords.-Adam Badeau's Letter.

One Of the "NIind Cure" Principles.

There are flfty-fve people in Minneapo-
lis and st. Paul who were cut off from one
great resource of conversation, namely,
discussion of the weather. They were the
members Of the recently active "mind
cure" class. Their teacher forbade them
talking about their ailments in conversa-
ton, and also prohibited finding fault
with the weather. Should mind cure prin-
ciples spread, some new source Of ideas
would have to be discovered for the great
army Of commonplace people with limited
conversational powers Pioneer Press

The Man NYtiliner In New York.

The English man-milliner is not so
lofty as the man-dressmaker His scope
is smaller being limited to the head-piece.
AS modified form of phrenologist, he IS
more tolerant of the weaknesses OF the
human race and doesn't freeze up their
little founts of childish vivacity every
time they approach him. There Is man
milliner now in New York who enjoys an
immense vogue, quite as much for his
rabid Anglicisms and jolly manner as for
his hets and bonnets. He is quite an
original type ne is not Of the deadly
upas-tree style, but has lively and cheer
full disposition-a sort Of masculine airy,
fairy Lillian, $50 innocent-arch, so cunning
simple" with keen appreciation of fenl-
nine charms and knack of enthuslng
discrcetly
When pretty woman comes into his
shop on Fifth avenue and tries on several
hats he stands by looking on, writhing in
transports like the pythoness on the trl-
pod. She puts on a great coaching hat
and being human, peeps at him expect
antly from under the brim He clasps
his hands, thrown into an ecstatic frenzy
of admiration, and cries: "Oh, exquisite,
beautiful, superb" The assistant now
brings out something very dashing and
mannish, shooting out wings from every
angle-the sort of hat that wants squared
elbows and throaty voice. At this the
little man grows quite gamey himself, and
says, with sporting air: "'Pon me soul,
now, that's awjully jolly" There is, TOO,
just adding n piquant flavor Of his univer-
sal bonhomie, faint aristocratic aroma
about him. 1t suggests all kinds of mad
dening possibiIities-a clientele Of titled
women Oh the other side, family connec-
ton with live lord, personal acquaint-
ance with genuine professional beauty
to what heights will not the unclaimed
imagination soar?-New York Cor. San

Frank r. Stockton and His Wife.

The wife of Frank r. Stockton, the ALL
thor Of that tantalizing story, "The Lady
or the TigerF" is one Of those women of
whom the world hears little but who does
not an inconsiderable share of those alb
surd and delightful tales. She was Miss
Marian Tuttle, of Amelia county, Vir-
ginia, and has long held the position
of literary critic of her husbands
work. A youthful admirer Of his quaint
fairy tales and chldren's stories once
wrote to ask if it were not true that Mr..
Stockton had large family of children
who heard the stories before they were
written out, and gave the "inventor"
points as to the things children in general
would or would not like. But Mr.. Stock
ton has no children, and his wife Is the

UNcOMFORTED.

Maker of men! should we not joy to see
Thy splendid world before our eyes out
rolled,
With all its stores of Jewels and gold,
And lovely gifts of fruit and Towering

Fair is our home, and happy should we be-
For unto US it's given to behold
Beauty enwheeled by mysteries untold,
While times great tide sweeps to eternity.
Yea, Lord Thy world is fair. What wild
delight
OF young boughs tossed by winds that
leap and soar,
And laugh to drive the lazy clouds De-

What golden dawns upspringing from the
night!
What stately rivers marching to the sea!

Prearranged Conversation IN English.

Some thirty years ago was an attache
ut our legation at Munich. Old King
Louis was then alive, although he had
been deposed for making fool of himself
about Lola Monies. I used frequently to
meet him in the streets, when he always
stopped me to ask how Queen Victoria
was. had at last respectfully to tell him
that her majesty was not in the habit Of
writing to me every day respecting her
health. His son was then the reigning
king. At court receptions he liked to
show off his knowledge of languages. In
order to be quite correct in his English,
he was accustomed to submit the
observations that he contemplated max
ing in that language to aprofessor of Eng
ish. The professor once or twice got into
difficulty owing to our answers not being
precisely what he had anticipated in the
prepared conversations. So he came to US
and explained the system. After this the
conversations never encountered hitch,
for we knew what the king was to say,
and arranged our answers So as to give
him the cues.-Cor London Truth.

Comment of Little eFour-Yeurs-Old.

Little Four-years-old was in state of
nervous excitement during violent thun-
derstorm few days ago. Running to her
mother she laid her head in her lap and
sobbed, "Oh, mamma, Use SO 'fraid Of
thunder" Seeking to quiet her, her
mother responded: "You should not be
afraid, my child. Thunder is Gods voice" "
This soothed the child, and she went
away about her play. In a few moments
another tremendous thundcrholt was
heard. She dropped her playthings, and
in m awe-struck voice inquired: Mamma,
what did God say then? Someiln' awful:"

WAY t" Go Shoil to the Sea Sands

Canvas shoes for seaside wear seem to
have familiar forms, but are in new and
desirable colors. The moccasin-shaped
bathing shoe has also suffered "a sea
change" and can now be obtained of can
vas, flannel or duck, in oil colors, to
match bathing suits. A thin and light
but firm sole of cork is stitched securely
to thin layer of leather, and thus affords
perfect protection to the feet from sharp
rocks and other dangers of the deep" sea

San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1886-09-17

1t is the evening of the theatricals;
and in one of the larger drawing-rooms
at the castle, where the stage has been
erected, and also in another room be-
hind connected with it by folding
doors, everybody of note in the county
is already assembled. Fans are flutter-
ing-so are many hearts behind the
scenes-and a low buzz of converse
ton is being carried on among the COM
pany.
Then the curtain rises; the fans stop
rustling, the conversation ceases, and
all faces turn curiously to the small but
perfect stage that the London work.
men have erected.
Every one is very anxious to see what
his or her neighbor is going to do when
brought before critical audience. No
body, Of course, hopes openly for a
breakdown, but secretly there are a
few who would be glad to see such-and-
such ones pride lowered.
No mischance, however, occurs. The
insipid Tony speaks his lines perfectly,
If he fails TO grasp the idea that little
acting thrown in would be an improve
ment; a very charming cousin Con Is
made out of Miss Villiers; a rather
stilted but strictly correct old lady out
of Lady Gertrude Vining. But Flor
ence Delmaine, as Kate Hardcastle,
leaves nothing to be desired, and many
are the complimentary speeches uttered
from time to time by the audience.
Arthur Dynecourt too had not over
praised his own powers. 1t is palpable
TO every one that he has often trod the
boards, and the pathos he throws into
his performance astonishes the au-
dience. Is II only acting in the final
scene when he makes love to Miss
Hardcastle, or is there some real senti-
ment in itI
The question arises in many breasts.
They note how his color changes as he
takes her hand, how his voice trembles;
they notice too how she grows cold, in
spite of her desire to carry out her part

how instinctively she shrinks from his
