women Before the Camera.

Women are self-conscious enough,
though, under certain conditions. I
don't believe that in all the fine collec-
tons OF photographs exhibited this year
there are half n dozen girls who have not
assumed the expression they were taken
in. IT is curious TO note the character
displayed in these unknown faces-the
bias toward the sentimental, as in that
young lndy's with the fine eyes that gaze
anguishingly upward, with her pretty
hands clasped under her rather sharp
chin. AS a rule, ! think thin girls most
affect the moon-struck attitude. A cast
Of melancholy does not suit excessive
a~voirdupois. The fat ones affect dignity
as a general thing, and in fine reserve,
even n haughtiness, indeed, before which
the brayest photographer must quail at
times.
Thcu there is the cynical expression,
though this is rare, and the expression Of
extreme felicity and goodwill toward oil
mankind, and the trustful, questioning
expression, and the debonnaire, saucy
look, like that upon the countenance Of
the pretty girl in the sailor hat and
yachting suit. Men, as q general thing,
affect either extreme sterness or lofty In
tellectuality in photographs, bat a mans
picture is more likely 20 be a faithful re-
production Of his common mood than O
woman'si is Of hers. Inconsistencies, we
are told is the last effect Of good breed
ing. IL photographs are to be regarded
rs indicating our possession Of it, we have
not advanced very fM.-Tnrnrtn G,ch-

Painting the Town Rcd

At this late date another origin for tho
expression, painting it red, is given.
hack III the COS racing was one OF the cx-
citing features Of Mississippi river travel,
aud when AN opportunity offered for a
trial Of speed all hands were ~brcathless
with excitement. The first command
from the captain would be: paint her
red boys!' which was river slang for
filling the fiTe-boX with resin in order to
create a quick, hot fire, at which time the
fire boxes would be thrown open. Then
il the night were dark, the effect was
simply grand. AS far ahead as the eye
could see the river would be q deep red
from the reflection, forming q most beau
tiful picture, which once seen could never
be forgotten. 1t was at that tune that
the expression, "Paint the town red," or
iginated, as the old steamboat lncn in
tended to convey the idea 10y its use that
they would have a beautiful time on ar.
rival at their destination. -Piltsburg Dis.

The Evolution Of Dining.

A grand dinner is a complicated affair
and has been evolved by ages of civiliza-
ton and culture. Primitive races eat
whatever they can get and whenever they
can get it. Nomadic tribes with flocks
and herds establish regular meals and
discover the oldest gastronomic combina-
ton, bread and meat. The %peasantry Of
civilized nations combine dishes together
to form the square meal, say meat and
potatoes, with n relish and bread and
butter. Cultured people gradually come
to add two courses to this square meal,
one at the end called dessert to aid diges-
ton, the other at the beginning of the
preliminary course or gusto to whet the
appetite. But the height is reached IA
the grand symposium or banquet Of nine
courses: /. Hors d'Cuvre. 2. Potage.
8. PoisSin. 4. Relieve. 8. Entree. 6.
Roti. Z. Entremets. 8. Sucree. 8.
Dessert. Nine courses exclusive of
punches and coffee! Nine meals in one!
Indigestion, govt and biliousness. Exit
the cook: enter the doctor. That the ma
tional diet of England is roast beef, that
the French %eternally eat stewed veal and
pate dc fOie gras, that the national food
of Germany is sausages and that Of Italy
macaroni goes without saying; that there
is a correspondence between the nations
food and the national temperament there
can be no doubt.-Dr. Wallace Wood.

He was born in New Hampshire in lsoe,

vanced position with those who resisted the
demands Of the South for the extension Oh
slave territory, and was a recognized lead

in 1s49. In 1852 Mr.. Chase left the Demo-
cratic party, to which he did not return
until late in his life. He opposed the
Nebraska Bill, and in the debates on the
Missouri Compromise and the admission OF
Kansas was true to ~free-soil principles. In
1856 and again 1857, he was elected Gov
ernor of Ohio. He was appointed Secretary
of the Treasury in 1861, and held the
office until July, 1864, originating the
Greenback system, by means Of which re-

rention in 1863 his nomination was urged.

4 Nick in His Boot Heels.

A treasury official who does consider
able railroad travelling says he has made
an amusing discovery which, if properly
carried out, insures unusual care and at

sleeping cars. The tourist who has been
initiated is provided with the most COM
Portable seat in the dining car, receives
special care and attention from the wait

berth in the sleeper. Should any of his
fellow passengers become jealous at the

and inspired with curiosity 10 know why
the distinction is made they have only to
look at the heels on the shoes of the IA

in gathering up the boots INC shoes in
his car cuts a nick in the hind part of the
heel of the shoes belonging TO the lnspec-

the heel of his shoe would greatly facili-

worked to his entire satisfaction. He
found he was served with the best provis-

he had been obliged to purchase an

Of really good poetry made by a good

standard of poetic excellence and to TX
an absolute standard than any quantity
of ingenious analysis, in the details of
which probably no two critics agree" ~
