DaguerreOtypes.

Daguerreotypes were costly things at
first. In England, where the process
had been patented by an enterprising
person who stole it from France, the
charge was p guineas ($12.6O) for da-
gurreotype only 3tx44in., and 4 guineas
(S20, 16) for one twice that big. In this
country the prices for the two sizes were
at first So and $40, but eventually, when
other processes invaded the field, daguer-
reotypes came down to % and 80 cents,
at which there surely could have been
no profit in them. The daguerreotype
had to be very carefully protected from
the atmosphere, and even then was pop
ularly believed to fade out ere long. 1t
is however affirmed by Mr.. A. Bogardas
and surely nobody has a better right
to speak ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS a prop
erly made daguerreotype would not
fade out. It would become covered by a
film Of tarnish that would render the
picture quite invisible, but that could
be by chemical means so cleaned off that
the picture would stand out as clearly
as when first made. This he had ef-
fected in pictures that had vanished
from sight fifteen years before they were
put in his hands for treatment.
Imperfect and limited in its uses as
the daguerreotype was, it was the parent
of the almost divine art Of photography
and the countless variations upon and
applications of it known today, anC
high among the deathless names upor
fame's roll Of the immortals, deserves
to stand that of Louis Jacques Maudt

He keeps it ever in the way Of your eyes

He cares nothing for money after it is

Then he is off to St. Paul bulldozing "Jim"

AN INTELLIGENT MALTESE.
Il Drought Lily from the NESTING. but

Il Brought Lily from the sEsstins. but
Iis ompring Was . Failure.
Over at the West End there lives col
ored family which Is noted for possess
ing a breed Of cats which it seems to
have a monopoly of-remarkably intelli-
gent animals they are, II not always
sleek and handsome. ~ long ago q
lady on Beacon Hill whowas in need Of
q servant, and TO whom a daughter Of
this colored household had been recon-
mended, called one evening at the little
house up an alley where the people lived.
A stout black woman came 10 the door.
"Does Eliza orangeblossom live heres"
the lady asked.
"Yes, she do, ma'atn; but she amt in
ies' dis minute" said the stout colored
woman. "But eff you'll step in I'll SEN
out arter her."
She led the way in and seated the lady
in the living room Of the house. There
were several cats present, one of which,
a scrawny but alert looking Maltese with
green eyes. rubbed up amiably and in
quiringly against the visitors dress.
"Yoa come way from dar, you
Malty!" exclaimed the colored woman
to the cat "You hyah me? Now you
go ober t. de chu'ch and git Lily, and
bring her home. You go fetch 'Lizy!'
she repeated, holding the door open.
The cat, after siding and wavering on
the threshold a moment, as cats always
do in order not to appear too obedient,
disappeared through the door.
"Will-will the cat bring your daugh'
ter?'' the lady asked in astonishment.
Laws bless ye, ma'am, you wait an
see," said the colored woman. .
Some minutes went by, and the lady
began to think that the mission was quite
! failure, when the door opened and a
strapping colored girl came in with the
Maltese cat at her heels. The girl had
hardly got in when she broke out:

TOE THE MARX.
General Railway Mail Superintendent Bel
Addresses Employees

WASHINGTON, June 10.-The following
general order was issued this evening:
"Postoffice Department. Office Of the
General Superintendent Railway Mail
Service-Washington D. c., June 10.-In
connection with the future management OF
the railway mail service the general super
intendent wishes to convey to those en-
ployed in it his determination to advance
its efficiency and usefulness, the accom-
plishment of which can only be attained by
the earnest and Intelligent COOP
GRAFTON of: superintendent and postal
clerks Every one attached to the organl-
cation will be expected to perform his full
duty, closely observing and obeying the
postal laws and regulations, as
well as the orders and instructions
that from time to time are issued for bis
information and guidance. A partial en-
forcement Of the discipline of the service
will not be satisfactory. neither can ex-
cuses be accepted for neglect OF duty, 1oF
irregularities resulting from carelessness
or inattention, nor tor misdemeanor OF any
kind. Clerks are required to keep them
selves posted upon the distribution as
signed to them, TO be familiar with the
schedule of connections and with the book
of instructions, to study the weekly bulle-
tin of general orders prepared ID
each division and to closely examine
and note the special orders issued
by those who have authority over them.
It is prevalent belief that instructions
relating to the checking of errors are not
strictly followed, and it is supposed in
many instances that clerks have agreed
not to check each other, thus defeating
one of the most essential method that have
been instituted for the betterment OF the
general service. 1t should be understood
that measures will be undertaken 10 ascer-
tain the persons disobeying orders and to
replace them with more efficient men.
Those who have shown their ability
and interest every consideration will be
given. Particular attention in selection
for promotion will be paid to the records
of efficiency in distribution, obedience to
orders and good moral character.

General superintendent.

An Indolent Organ.

When the liver is INDECENT, as it must
necessarily be when it fails to secrete the
bile in sufficient quantities to meet the
requirements OF digestion and evacuation,
it should be set at work with Hostetter' S
Stomach Bitters. The healthful stimulus
to activity impaired by this incompatible
Alternative, speedily evinces itself in a
departure of the uncomfortable sensation
in the right side; the nausea; fur upon the
tongue; indigestion, and sick headache
consequent upon inactivity of the liver
and the diversion of the bile from its
proper channel Irregularity of the
bowels is always and painlessly reformed
by the corrective indicated, which is in
finitely to be preferred, because it is safe
and more efficacious, to blue pill, calomel
and drenching purgatives of ever class 1t

low yield, will in part be harvested for
grain this season. The question of areas
will be tested later as thoroughly as pos

How a Nan Sews on Buttons.


Did you ever see man, in the solitude and
privacy of his study, attempt to sew button
Oh by himseif7 It is, in all its details, one Of
the most interesting performances in the
world
First. be hunts for button Generally, to
secure it he robs Peter TO pay Paul, and cuts
one from some other garment. This may be
much larger or much smaller than the size he
is wearing Next, he hunts for needle
Probably he goes out and buys paper of
needles. He always chooses the largest, hay
ing an impression that large needles will sew
stronger than small needless
As to thread, he gets the coarsest be can
find, and this he doubles. He would thread
his needle. He takes the big needle in one
hand and bis coarse black thread in the other;
he bites of the thread to the desired length;
then he tries to twist 1t to Q fine point Cen
orally in this be succeeds In making two and
sometimes three fine points out Of one end
OF course he can't get all these points through
the needles eye at once. He tries hard TO
make the needle and thread get on friendly
terms with each other. Sometimes 1t Is the
needle that kicks, sometimes the thread.
Sometimes he really inagines he has threaded
his needle. It Is an ocular defusion; the
thread has missed the needles eye by half an
inch. It is harder work than saving wood.
At last the needle is threaded. Now he tries
to sew the button on without taking his
trousers of. This proves failure He twists
himself into an uncomfortable position, and
so would sew. But he cannot sew So He
runs the needle into his finger, and makes an
inaudible exclamation. Again the needle
slips into the aeshy part Of the hand, which
induces very audible dash from the opera
tor. The recording angel knows what is go
ing on inside OF him, and debts him with
every item. He sews hard
He has forgotten all about the necessity for
q thimble. He jams his thumb down on tho
needles head. and it punctures his thumb or
runs under the nail By and by be sews the
button eye full Of thread. His big needle
does not pass through any more. He must
stop. lie ends by winding the thread as
many times as it viii go under the button,
and perhaps be leaves OF with two or three
inches Of thread sticking outside A woman
can, through many outward indications, tell
when man has been trying to sew on but
ton BE doesn't know the shibboleth Of needle
and thread, and il catches somewhere every
time At last the button Is sewn or, and be Is
proud Of his woTk-Houskceper

Dried Pot3to.

In the Voenno- Sanitarnoie Delo Dr.. Jakov
n Shmulevitch emphatically draws attention
to dried potato as an important food article,
possessing some very valuable advantages in
comparison with the vegetable In fresh state
The advantages claimed for the article are
these: o. while fresh potatoes easily rot,
blacken and sprout, dried potatoes, when
kept duly protected from moisture, remain
in the best condition for a very long time;
and e., being by far lighter and less bulky
than fresh potatoes, are by far more con-
venient for preservation and transportation,
which point has great practical Importance,
especially In time Of war. To be fit for cul-
mary use, the article requires q preliminary
maceration in water for about ten or twelve
hours

Legitime's Armies Just on its Last Legs
The War Ended

NEW YORK, June 10-A letter from
Port au Prince. dated May 80, gives the
following: 1t is stated on good authority
that the army of Hiypolyte is within two
miles of Port au Prince, and there is no
doubt that in few days the war will be
ended, and the army of the north the vic
tors. Legitime's men, owing to the lack
Of food and money are DESERVING, and at
Grand Saline, one of his generals COM
manding 5000 men has surrendered all his
forces to Hippolyte. The general himself
fed to Jamaica as his life was in danger
IN Port au Prince. He put himself under
the protection of the British consul before
going to Jamaica. Legitime would have
followed his example but his generals
and ministers would not let him.
They say he has brought them
to their present state and he must remain
and share their fate. 1t is impossible to
say when Hippolyte's army will fall on the
town and massacre every one in it, Legi-
time has hardly and men to guard the
place and it will be an easy matter to cap
ture it. Most of Legitime's navy is lying
in the inner harbor, being afraid that if
they venture out they will be captured by
Hippolyte's ships.
WASHINGTON, June 10.-The United
States steamer Ossippee, now at st. Mich
olas Niche. Hayti, has been ordered to pro-
coed TO Port au Prince to observe the state
of affairs there and report to the depart
ment.
