Country Girls Think Twice.

Before making the plunge into city
life, country girls should ask themselves
what is really to be gained by it. Per
haps in their quiet rural homes some
stray advertisement has reached them,
promising TO young women high sala-
ries for light work. Hundreds of adver-
tisements are framed for the very pur-
pose of deceiviug the unwary. They
accomplish their purpose, however, and
large numbers of young girls rush UP
to the city, dazzled by the generous
profusion of promises. A girl from the
larm answers one of these advertise
ments. Life may have been slow at
home, but there was always good food,
and in plenty, and there was some one
to care for in the old farm house. When
she goes to the big city she finds that
the light work" consists in working all
day in badly-lighted and ill-smelling
workshop, where scores of other girls
and women are employed at wages
hardly high enough to keep body and
soul together. We know what often
comes next. The girl has left home,
she is ashamed or unwilling to return,
and she must take the consequences,
one of two things-shame or suffering.
Many girl finds first in the frivolities
and next in the iniquity of the streets
that excitement by which regrets and
remorse may be deadened. If she is
too strong in principle, too pure and
elevated in tone thus to sink down TO
one of the ptiful women in the streets,
she may find herself in ONE cold gar
ret, lonely, overworked, Respondent
and miserable. Better remain at home
than risk the failure that attend so
many gils who go to the city in pur-
suit OF high pay for light work. 1t is
the saddest of all ventures, forsaking q
country home for the illusions and de-
ceptions of large town. Providence

WOMEN BEFORE THE CAMERA.
A Crusty Photographic Who says He
Doesn't Like Them Much.

A Crusty Photographer Who Says He
Doesn't Like Them Much.
Most men look upon a photographer
as a lucky dog anyway, wit i easy. in
teresting work, and a chance to meet
more pretty women in day than ordi-
nary men do in a year. But the pho
tographers themselves aver that there
is very different side to the story.
OF course, everybody has heard how
some women are easy to photograph
and others difficult, and how actresses
are the best Of all but the real feelings
of photographers on the subject are not
generally appreciated. A member of
the craft thus unbosoms his views on
this int resting subject: rl
"Yes, that's just the way; everybody
inagines that photographers all have a
picnic. In the first place. people think
1t mighty lucrative business. Every
small town has its rich grocer, and
butcher, and lawyer, and doctor, but
never wealthy photographer.
But certainly some photographers
make great deal of money"
"They may take in q good deal, but
their net income is generally small
At a photographers the ladies are try
ing to look their finest and prettiest,
and they want the surroundings to ac-
cord. And thon the chief trouble
comes in. It's an awful nuisance to do
business with women"
"How is that?"
"A woman is not only determined to
look pretty, but she must look pretty
4a,r
gets her ideas from some fine picture
of handsome woman, and she wants
one just like that, without regard to
whether that particular pose is fitted
to her figure or not. If she is short,
pudgy person, she wants to look light
and graceful. and so she selects an airy
pose from Ellen Terry, or some slender
woman, in the hope that she will make
a similar appearance, and they won't
be convinced. If they do finally con-
sent to sit some other way they will
keep that ideal pose in their mind, and
will be dissatisfied with the result.
And even when you take them precisely
as they wish, they object to paying for
the picture"
"But don't you find it pleasant to
meet so many handsome and agreeable
women?"
Handsome they may be, but seldom
agreeable in photograph gallery.
They are not quite suited with the
work, and seldom with the price. The
average man is not so solicitous. He
knows that an expert is better able to
decide about matters of detail, and he
leaves all such things to the operator.
OF course we have to be pleasant to the
ladies, for the bulk of a photographers
custom is from them and children, and
besides that the best way to attract the
men is by exhibiting the pictures of
handsome women, but for all that a
photographer does not always feel as
polite as he looks. "-Nel0 York Mail

Shell Mounds i'm Florida.

These shell mounds ere found in
various parts of the State. The shells
which they contain have, through the
action of time, become wholly deprived
OF organic matter. and to q certain de-
gree calcined, so that they form a kind
OF conglomerate. which is used extern
sively for building. 1t is called CO.
quina. These shell heaps have aroused
much interest on the part of geolo-
gists. 1t was at first supposed that
they were made by lake deposits, but
Investigations show that they were of
human construction. There are about
forty of these mounds in different parts
OF the State, varying in size from cir
cular heaps fifteen to twenty feet in di-
ameter and few inches high to ridges
several hundred feet in length, and
varying in height from few inches to
fifteen feet and over, and all are more
or less overgrown with forests of trees.
Among the more important groups of
these mounds are those Of King Phil
lips Town, near the outlet OF Lake
Harvey, which are 450 feet long, from
100 to $50 feet broad, and with an av-
erage height of s feet the Black Ham
mock Mounds on the ST. Johns. which
form line, though several times brok
en-, !, 200 feet in length, are $50 to 100
feet broad, and vary in height from 10
feet to 3 or inches; Old Enter
prise Mounds, on Lake Monroe, loo
feet long on the water line, in places
ID feet high; and Horse Landing
Mounds, on the ST. Johns River, 300
feet long by 100 feet in their widest
part, and about 8 feet high. In all of
these mounds pieces of pottery are
found imbe'ded in the shell conglom
crate. also articles made of shell and
bone, rude stone implements and many
bones of animals, as Of deer, terrapin,
rabbits, alligators, and others, and
bones of birds and fishes. This shows
conclusively that the mounds were
made by man, and it is supposed that
they mark the camps or villages of
early tribes, of whom no traces now re-
main save these collections of kitchen
debris. These deposits contain the
shells of few species only, and the
inland mounds contain emily those of
fresh-water mollusks. Along the coast
there are similar deposits, though
smaller, of oyster shells. The age of
these mounds is much-vexed ques-
ton. They were found overgrown
with heritage and forest, just as they
are now, when the first white man set
foot on Florida sail. The Indians then
inhabiting the country knew nothing
of their origin, but had traditions that
they were built by tribes that inhabited
the land long before the red man came
The fact that the shells have lost all
traces of organic matter shows them to
be of great age, and SO does the fact
that the deposit of earth above them is
sufficient to give place to the roots of
the largest trees. An examination of
an old oak which was blown down on
one of the mounds showed that it was
at least 500 years old, and as q century
or two was needed to produce suffi-
cient deposit of earth upon the shell
heaps to permit the growth of the
tree, it is probable that the existence
of the builders of these mounds could
not have been later than the beginning
of the Christian era. Inter Ocean.

Salary.

The word salary comes from the Latin
salarium, literally salt money, from
sal, salt, which was a part of the pay
of Roman soldiers. The ancient 70
mans allowed the soldiery so much salt
per diem. When this was committed
to money payment, it was still called
by the same name.
