 Ut is very simple. A photographer Is given, by the cigarette Enanutac- turer, contract to supply so many million pictures of the sire and gen. eral description named. He goes into the market and buys, chiefly through agents, every new and suitable photo graph he can lay his hands upon of actresses, ballet dancers, popular ce- lebrities, anything, in short, that will serve his purpose and attract the pop ular eye. These he mounts, in sizes matched, on huge cards or 'mats,' 100 or more on each. The card thus pre- pared is placed in front of the camera, and the whole taken on c scale as much smaller as may be desired. In this way the whole sheet of portraits are struck of at once from the result. ing negatives, to be subsequently, cut apart, mounted and delivered to the cigarette maker. who places one of them in each package he sends out"
 "But do not photographers hire peo- pie to sit for them?"
 "Not as 6 rule, though it Is some- times done. Not long ago a manu- facturer hit upon the notion of having the prettiest girls he could get to do the work pose as operators in the act of making cigarettes. Something off color being considered essential in a cigarette picture, every young woman had her dress so arranged as to expose about foot, more or less, of rather ugly ankle. It was difficult for the healthy eye to discover wherein the seductiveness of the thing lay. and yet the shop windows always had an eagerly curious crowd about them. At the same period of time, you will re- member, cigarette pictures of all sorts were displaying steady tendency to the worse, but 6 howl against the abuse arose in the newspapers, and the very objectionable ones were pru- dently withdrawn from circulation. It is only temporary reform, how ever. presume you are aware that Boston is the great depot for such photographic supplies, which are turned out here in incalculable quan- titles. The most popular photog- rapher in the city produces millions of them every year on tine sly. There is money in the business"

Sudden Loss of Memory.
Cbamsess' JcurnAi

Sudden forgetfulness is not an un- usual thing in the pulpit. Aubrey, the antiquary, says that when iis was freshman, st college, he heard Dr. Sanderson, bishop of Lincoln, well known for his work, "Nine Cases of Conscience" break down In tss mid dle of the Lords prayer. Even the great French preacher Masslllon once stopped in the middle of . sermon from defect of memory; and Massii- lon himself recorded that the same thing happened through excess of sp- prehension to two other preachers whom he went to hear in different parts of the same day. Another French preacher stopped in the mid de of sermon and was unable to proceed. The pause was, however, gotten over ingeniously. "Friends," ssid he, "I had forgot to say that . person much afflicted is recommended to your immediate przyers." He meant himself He fell on his knees, and before he aFoes he had recovered the thread of his discourse, which he concluded without his want of mem- ory being perceived.
