TRICKS OF PHOTOGRAPHY.

There are various ways for providing

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 between natural atti-
tudes and occupations. This is pro-
duced by an almost instantaneous ex-
posure of the figure that is to do duty
as the ghost, followed by a full expos
ure of the figures and properties that
are to appear natural. Another novel
trick was shown recently in a photo
graph reproduced by a prominent trade
journal, which presented the photo
grapher, seated at table, playing
chess, with himself sitting on the OPP
posite side of the table, while he him.
self stood up in the background looking
at his two selves playing.
The figures were all on the negative,
which was produced by three success
sive exposures of the plate, parts
thereof being masked each time by
black velvet shutter. Still another
trick is that by which a person who
likes that sort of thing may appear to
be photographed riding on a flying
goose or a fish or any other desired
style of ridiculous locomotion. This
is done by the subject holding upon his
lap huge piece of white or 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 device.-Photographic Reviesc.

Woman As a Citizen.

woman as citizen will compel the
State to a higher function than that OF
merely policing property. She will
police manhood and womanhood. She
will make rulers what Plato dreamed
of their being-'the guardians of So
cietyn The preservation of morals will
be as much to the State as the protec-
ton of vested rights now is. Woman's
voice will be lifted resolutely against
that GROWING barbarism of civilization
war. She who suffers most from its
horrors; whose whole nature revolts
against such a crime-whose every
physical feebleness indisposes her to
the brutal arbitration of the sword, will
use her new-found power to end this
wickedness and folly under which
Europe groans to-day. Woman will
carry her religious nature into the
State, not to establish State religion
the last new religio-political "fad'-
but to keep alive within the body of its
laws and institutions the spirit of essen
tial religion, which will make the State
the conscience of the people. Man has
fashioned the true form of the State in
our own free, self-governing democ-
racy. Let woman breathe within it the
true spirit, and we shall see city Of
God coming down out of Heaven upon
earth. Req. Heller NeUtO,.

BUILD WELL.

High on the granite walls the builders, toiling,
Heaved up the massive blocks and slabs to
place,
With swart and streaming brows and strsining
sinews,
Under the summers blaze
And higher yet. amid the chills OF autumn.
Tier upon tier and arch upon arch arose;
And still crept upward, coldly, YEARLY, slowly,
Mid winters sitting SHOWS.
From stage to stage up springs the master
builder,
Instructing. cheering. Gliding here and there
Scanning with scrutiny severe and rigid
Each lusty laborer's share.
Anon his voice to those most distant shouting
Through the hoarse trumpet makes his orders
swell;
Or utters words like these, to rouse and hearten:
Build well. my men, build well.
''The ropes are strong and new, and sound the
pulleys;
The derrick's beams are equal to the strain;
Unerring are the level, line and plummet;
Let naught be done in vain.
''Build that these walls to coming generations
Your skill, your strength, your faithfulnes
shall tell;
That all may say. as storms and centuries test
them.
The men Of old built wellr'
And ever thus speaks the great Master-Builder
To US, where er our Journey work" may be;
''Whate'er the toll, the season, or the structure
Build well-build worthily.''

countries. A stroke of the district
judges pen is sufficient under the SIM
pie laws of Norway.
On death of farmer, his children
sons and daughters alike-have the
property equally divided among them.
Should the farm be insufficient for all
their wants, an amicable arrangement
is usually made, by which the surplus
relinquish their shares on payment of
a compensatory sum, and settle else
where, or emigrate. 1t might seem
that this system of subdivision would
ultimately result in impoverished hold
ings; but, as justly remarked by Mr..
Samuel Laing in his Diary, the reason
that such an issue is prevented lies in
the fact that in Norway the land being
held in full ownership. "its aggregation
by the deaths of co-heirs and by the
marriage of female heirs among the
body of landowners, balances its subdi-
vision by the equal succession of chill
dren."
There is no aristocracy in Norway,
unless it be that of successful enter
prise and labor. The farmer owns no
superior, is uniformly polite and hos
pitable to all; while servility and
obsequiousness are utterly foreign to
his nature.
Sufficient has been given in this
short sketch to enable the reader to
form an idea of Norwegian farms and
farmers. If it should occur tc any one
to inquire why it is that meE tell year
by year in hard and constant strug-
gle, where farming is task Of the ut
most difficulty and hazard, we feel
sure the reply, and only reply, is this,
that the land they till is their own.
They love it, tor on it their fathers
lived-many Of them can trace their
ancestors as far back as the grand old
days of the vikings-and they, unless
compelled by force of circumstances,
are happy to reap and SOW the same
acres season after. With all the forces
of nature arrayed against them, these
men can show that their small hold
ings feed them and their children; and
make them the backbone, the strength,

WORDS FOR WOMEN.

SENIOR CASTELAR, thinks the estab-

on the suffrages of all its citizens, and

FRAIL FABRICATlONS.
Hollow Objections of Some Anti-Suffragi sts
Against the Acknowledgement of Women.

w
They say that weighty arguments
are brought against US when we ask for
the perfect freedom of women, but,
when you come to the objections, they
are like pumpkin devils with candles
inside-hollow, and can't bite.
They say that women do not wish
for the sphere and freedom we ask for
them, and would not use it. If the bird
does like its cage, and does like its
sugar, and will not leave it, why keep
the door so very carefully shut? Why
not open it, only little? Do they
know, there is many bird will not
break its wings against the bars, but
would fly if the doors were open?
''Then they say, If the women have
the liberty you ask for, they will be
found in positions for which they are
not fttedn If two men climbed one lad
der, did you ever see the weakest any
where but at the foot? The surest sign
OF fitness is success. The weakest
never wins but where there is ha1di-
Gaping. Nature left to herself will as
beautifully apportion mans work to
his capacities as, long ages ago, she
graduated the colors on the birds
breast. If we are not fit, you give US
to no purpose the right to labor; the
work will fall out of our hands into
those that are wiser.
They say women have one great
and noble work left them, and they do
it i'll: That is true; they do it execra-
bly,. 1t is the work that demands the
broadest culture, and they have not
even the narrowest. The lawyer may
see no deeper than his law-books, and
the chemist see no further than the
windows of his laboratory, and they
may do their work we'll; but the woman
who does woman's work needs a many
sided, multiform culture; the heights
and depths of human life must not be
beyond the reach of her vision; she
must have a knowledge of men and
things In many states, a wide catholicity
of sympathy, the strength that springs
from knowledge, and the magnanimity
which springs from strength. We bear
the world, and ne make it. The souls
of little children are marvelously deli
cate and tender things, and keep for
ever the shadow that first falls on them,
and that is the mothers, or at least a
woman's. There was never great
man who had not a great mother-it is
hardly an exaggeration. The first six
years of our life make us; all that is
added later is veneer; and yet some
say, if woman can cook dinner or
dress herself well, she has culture
enough. "-Olire Schreiner, in Romans

HUNTING FAT FROGS.

The Experience of New Yorker In the
| Marshes of Jersey.
1.-The Hackensack meadows, over in
Jersey, is about the best place to hunt
for frogs"
So spoke Fulton street marketman
the other morning.
Last winter" he continued, 81 dug
eleven dozen frogs out of one hole on
Sprout branch of Saddle river. An or
der came to me for eight dozen, and as
l had not jumper in my winter pit at
home, and not nose was to be seen
above water, the prospects for my S42
for that eight dozen frogs looked blue.
But took a jaunt over to the branch,
and after looking over the ground
found a hole that seemed likely, and
all at once the idea jumped into my
head to drain it and dig out the sleep
ing beauties. Water-logged wood and
leaves had formed a natural dam at the
little ponds outlet, and it only took
half a days work to cut the dam away
and then bail out the water which
would not flow, and there / had the
whole naked bed of the pond spread
out ready for my work.
with couple of fiat boards strapped
to my feet so that | would not sink, |
went over the mud with a scoop
shovel, turning it over to the depth of
about eight inches. and out of that lit
tie pond | took eleven dozen table-size
bullfrogs-not very fat, to be sure, and
awfully drowsy; but l soon remedied
that by soaking them at home for a
couple of days in warm water. A frog
takes in water through the skin, you
know, and every conscientious dealer
soaks his frogs before he sells them.
My winter frogs woke right up in the
warm water, and when l delivered
them were lively and plump"
"If the frog has one enemy he has
thousand. Herons eat him, and so do
ducks. snakes, fishes, kingfshers, owls,
crawtishes, and most every water in
sect that lives. Man is not his worst
enemy by a good deal; and when a man
is willing to pay enough for a frog to
enable the hotel topay mess adozen for
them, then L say man deserves every
frog he gets. Yes, there is money in
frog hunting for one who knows how,
especially in winter. l have what l
call a winter frog-pit at home, made
up of several tubs of mud and warm
water in a room kept at a mild tenn
perature all the time, which l stock
well in the fall, and sell from when the
marshes are frozen up. 1t is an old
country idea, and is common in Paris,
where they never see frog half as
big as our bullfrog from one years
end to the other. N Y. Mail and En-

In letter lately written to Mrs Lucy
Stone. Clara Barton says:
1T gives me pain to be compelled to
decline your generous invitation to at
tend your annual meeting of the Wo-
man Suffrage Association at Cincin-

the thought that you remembered and
desired me to be with you. Nowhere
would l so gladly speak my little word

privileges delayed and debarred-to-

last thirty years, the budding and bios

doubt and humiliation, scattered by the
winds OF conscious superiority and
power, and the whirlwinds of opposing
wrath-as on the green, native soil, the
home OF the early labors of its sainted
citizen, Frances d. Gage.
''Dear, noble, precious Aunt Fanny,
with the soul so pure and white, the
heart so warm, the sympathies so quick
and ready, the sensitive, shrinking
modesty of self, the courage that scoffed

THE women of France are anxious
to vote. Unlike their sisters in Ameri-
ca they do not want unlimited suffrage,
but suffrage in order to protect their
rights. To be particular, they ask to
be permitted to vote at the election for
judges. And this demand, or request,
seems to be a reasonable one in view of
the facts. Naturally many women
are interested in the divorce cases
that come before these judges for de-
cision. They claim that the judiciary
ignore their rights and are inclined to
favor the men because the latter have a
vote. If this is the fact it is woful

justice in that country.-Detroit Free

EcJNwing the team came man nam

fl eeing vehicle had made an attempt to
steal the body of the murderer Maxwell,
whose case attracted worldwide atten-

that Shevlin had been employed and we'll
paid by nm unknown but beautiful lady TO
guard Maxwell's grave at night. He was
on duty when three men entered the Gem"

Shevlin fired his pistol and
the men fled. No trace of them has yet
