There are various ways for providing
surprising results in photography, things
that in one age would have been called
magic, but in ours recognized as scientific
tricks. The ghost picture, for instance, in
which shadowy ghost-through which
material objects are visible-is seen be-
tween natural attitudes and occupations
This is produced by an almost instanta-
neous exposure of the figure that is to do
duty as the ghost, followed by a full ex-
posure of the figures and properties that
are to appear natural. Another novel
trick was shown recently in photograph
reproduced by prominent journal, which
presented the photographer, seated at a Ia
bic, playing chess, with himself sitting on
the opposite side of the table, while he
himself stood up in the background look
ing at his two selves playing.
The figures were all on the negative,
which was produced by three successive
masked each time by black velvet shut
ter Still another trick is that by which
a person who liked that sort of thing may
appear to be riding upon a flying goose or
tsh or any other desired style of ridicu-
lous locomotion. This is done by the SUBJ
ject holding upon his lap huge piece of
white o. sky-tinted card with the fanciful
figure drawn upon it. His face appears
above the upper edge of the card and
seems, in the picture, joined to the funny
little body mounted on the goose or fish.
The statue picture is made by about the
same Photographic Recie,u for No

Dlning-Room Fads.

And now the reign of the more or less
established form of the regulation knife
and fork is threatened. No, be not alarmed.
Though it is true we continue to incline
strongly towards the ideas of the "Celes-
tials," it is not chopsticks that Dame FASH
ion now menaces us with, but she does
hint that she is growing weary of the con-
ventional knife and fork. So far but one
style substitute has been found, and at
recent dinner in New York one daring So
ciety lady introduced fanciful daggers and
small swords, the handles of wrought sill
yer, incrustedwith gems, in place of knives
localized pitchforks might be used for the
other needful implement
Many and varied are the table decora-
tions to be introduced at the social season
just about budding, for the fragrance of
the holiday greens must spend itself be-
fore the exotic-scented atmosphere of the
ballroom fairly asserts itself. There is a
rage for highly-ornamented table-cloths;
and covers of silk, plain and brocaded,
paneled with plush or velvet, deliberately
wrought with tinsel, threaten to supersede
the snowy damask that has for long been
the housekeepers pride. The fanciful
ideas go to the extent of draping the table
with tulle.-Decelnber Table Talk.

He wanted pia.r, That winds Up.

A man entered an Austin music store
tie other day and said TO the proprietor;
Have you got piaps that winds up?''
You mean a music box%
No, not a patent inside piano Of that
description. What | want lisa piano that
will wind up same as a man winds up his
business. / don't care whether it quits on
account Of declining health, retires with a
competency or makes an assignments. so
that 1t winds up and stays SOL
"That would be a queer sort of instr,,-
ment, wouldn't it ?"
" l s'pose SO; but that's what l yearn
for. | have got one of the kind YOU have
here, and it never quits; keeps going all
the time, and it pears like it never will
wind up. Eve seven daughters, and they
are all learning to play. I've paid a.mu-
sic teacher nigh onto $50 to teach my old
est girl, and she's teaching the next in
age, and she's giving lessons to the next,
and so ON to the last of the flock, and it
takes all day and half the night to 60 the
rounds"
" | see" said the piano man, "you want
the furniture without the noise"
" Yes; a kind Of folding-bed piano, that
is always let down."
Z" don't believe that that kind of a
piano has been invented yet. You see it
is the music that the people want"
" Is that So"
"Fact."
"Well, say, haven't you got one that
only works eight hours day, with an
hour for eating dinner; one that closes at
l p. NJ. Saturday, rigidly observes the Sun
day law and keeps all the holidays? You
ought to have something of that kind"
But we haven't. Pll tell you what you
might do. Put a combination lock on your
piano and then forget the combination.
How'll that do?'
"Good scheme Pll do it, sure. Thou

tan. Can't you run out and take suthin?"

The Greatest Opportunity.

Now is the time for the Vanderbilts or
any other set of enlightened millionaires
to come forward and undertake here in
this neighborhood an experiment whose
successful working would confer upon the
human family a greater benefit than any
novelty or invention or discovery since the
introduction of printing
We refer, of course, TO the new agricult.
ure, the great system of subterraneous
irrigation, of feeding the roots of plants
from beneath with perpetual supply of
moisture. This system was discovered
by that irrepressible, electrical vet
eran, Asahel Newton Cole, of Ale
gany county, and the right place to
make a conspicuous and triumphant dis
play of its marvellous results is here at the
doors of this metropolis, among the hills of
Westchester. The land is there, its long
slopes turning to the southern sun; the
living springs of water are there; the
climate is favorable, the situation
peerless, and all that Is necessary
is that some great and far seeing
man, with as much money as he has brains
should devote little thereof to a work
whose success will not merely make its
capitalist glorious and famous, but also in
crease his wealth beyond the widest
dreams of avarice. No matter how many
millions he may have already, the new
agriculture would add to his store, and, in
addition, the blessings of the human fam
lily, the cry of joy from poverty relieved
the shouts of hope from hearts that dread
and doubt, would be given to him in full
measure and exulting chorus
What wise millionaire, what rich and
great philanthropist, DESTROYS of being the
benefactor of the human race, of putting
an end to hunger and poverty, will come
forward and lay hold of this unexampled
opportunity to gain for himself imperish-
able renown, and to confer upon his CRATE
full countryman the benefits of universal
prosperity and boundless abundance?-Netc

THE DEAD CAME TO LIE.
a Florentine Legend of the Via Ell NJ orii
acd the Dead Bride


! Ons CT the streets of Florence is known
as Via del Morti, the street of the dead.
Many years agoa beautiful Italian Princess
! was sought in marriage by two MOBILES.
Prince Goudi and Count Aldobrandi,,
/ whose palaces stand at either end of the.
short and narrow street. The Prince was
successful in his suit, but in less than
year the beautiful young woman died, and
her body was placed in the crypt beneath
the cathedarl, the coffin and the iron door
of the vault being left open, as Is still the
custom in Tuscany, so that if the person
thought dead comes to life he may escape
being buried alive. In the middle OF the
night after the funeral Prince Gondi was
startled by knock at the outer door. The
porter opened the door and white Squire
grouped its way in
The porter fell in swoon. and the
Prince rushed to chapel in the palace
and fell praying before the altar, beseech-
ing protection against his dead wife's
ghost For days all Florence rang with
the story of how Prince Goudi was haunted
by his. wife's ghost, and the excitement
gradually died away. When the porter
swooned aud the Prince fed to his altar
the white figure slipped out of the house
and went 30 that of her old suitor, Count
Aldobrandi. There she knocked feebly,
but the porter was asleep, and the master
of the house came to open the door. The
Princess fell at his feet, and he lifted her
up and called upon the women of his
household to care for herr After week
had passed, no one knowing the facts, the
Count applied to the patriarch of the ca
thedral and asked: "Holy father. if
woman Is declared dead and receives the
sacred Office of the church, returns to life,
is repulsed by her husband is but received
and taken care of by friend of her living
days, who may claim her ?'
The venerable priest said the question
was so weighty that the Pope must answer
it, and he replied that the one who had
rescued her could claim her. 1t was soon
announced that Count Aldobrandi would
wed noble lady long stranger in Fie-
renze, and he requested his friend Goudi |
to give away the bride, her parents not be-
ing present. At the appointed day, before
the altar of a chapel in the duomo, the !
marriage took place. The question was
asked: "Who gives this woman to be the |
wife of this man" Prince Goudi stepped !
forward, but not until he had taken her |
hand did he know that he was bestowing |
his own bride upon another. But his |
knowledge came too late. For years Count |
Aldobrandi and his wife lived happily to-
gether, and at this late day descendant of |
Prince Goudi tells the story as ahistorical

Two M,a,ure. Of a oe,t,eman

English gentlemen of 400 years ago con-
sidered the pursuit of literature, art and
science unworthy of any of their class,
which was expected to live solely for sport,
American gentlemen land this includes all
Americans) hold the same opinion with
regard to all mechanical pursuits. Are
such notions whit less childish than
those of 400 years ago? l think they are
even more so, for man may very well be
a gentleman without scholarship, but he
cannot be one without being able to earn
his living by his own labor. The truth is,
while we latter our vanity with the no
ton that We are an enlightened people, on
the ground that we have a form of govern
ment and certain mechanical contrivances
which our forefathers had not, we are sunk
in barbarism as regards all ideas of human
worth. For well nigh 1000 years Christ.
ianity has taught that character and not
position or possession gives value to men,
We act and think, for the most part, as il
such teaching had never existed.-Prof

SHOES FOR FAIR WOMEN,
And Something About Those Worn b,
Men.

Men.
A reporter of the New. York Press has
been talking with a manufacturer of ladies'
shoes, and here is the information he
gained:
''lf you should say that ladies are wear
ing all kinds of shoes, you would Just about
strike it; but there is one thing certain.
much more sensible shoes are worn by wo-
men to-day than there were FIVE years ago.
The best selling shoe we have in all sec
tons of the country, with one or two ex-
ceptions, is the New York medium toe. A
shoe with this toe has comfortable and
yet natty appearance, and is usually fitted
with an inch-and-an-eighth heel, which is
comfortable hight. Next in popularity
to the New York medium toe is the New
York opera toe, which is more pointed at
the end and has heel one-quarter of an
inch higher than the former. Either of
these styles of shoe may or may not be
adorned with the patent-leather tip, which
has been so popular for the last year."
Where are the largest shoes worn ?"
" suppose you will think l will say
in Chicago, but l shan't, for while in
that city the sizes range from, one to
seven, in Boston there are very few No.
rs sold, the prevailing numbers ranging
between two and seven. Chicago women
have been much maligned, and it is a
fact that we send more large sizes East
than to any other section of the country.
New Workers wear much Simmer shoes
than are worn in any other city, and
while we see more medium sizes, threes
and threes and half, for instance, right
here some women wear as high as fyes.
We sell very few shoes over that size in
New York;
