The Windham correspondent of
the Ludlow Tribune pays our late
Jeweler the following compliment( p d:
81. r. Quimby, a jeweler, late of Lon
donderry, has skipped out. to the great
disappointment of many of his patrons.
not only in Derry, but this town also,
who are waiting and watch ing" for
him. He had shock of some sort, a few
weeks ago. which, perhaps, impaired his
memory, for when he received orders ac-
companied with the pay, or some articles
for repairs, he forgot all about it, and
went away leaving many such cases unset
tied. Report says that he exhibited the
same malady at Wilmington before COM
ing to Derry We see by the London
derry SITTER of the date of March Goth,
that he has gone to Bennington. The
good people of Bennington will do well
not to pay for their spoons before they
get them"
Quimby surely skinned out from
here leaving a number of confiding
souls in the lurch, besides carrying
with him various articles entrusted
to his care. These latter, we under
stand he offers excuses for and
promises to return. It's the old story
rum, and ruin. Our Bennington
friends are welcome to take him for
all that he is worth.

OLD TIME RELIGION.

How General Boynton, the Correspondent,
Got the Better of an Exhorter.
In my youth was sent to Knox College,
at Galesburg, ILL.,, says General Boynton,
in the st. Louis Globe Democrat, where the
President recently attended the reunion of
his brigade. The head of the institution at
that time was the late Rev. DR.. Jonathan
Blanchard. Hehad reputation far and wide
as disciplinarian. Perhaps that was why
I was sent there. Not long after entered
an old-fashioned revival was inaugurated
by the doctor. He was man of great will
power aud was bent on converting every
student under him. So little regard was
paid to physical comfort in those days, 30
years ago, that I recollect the freezing of
one of my toes as sat in chapel listening
to the appeal.
The doctor, after the sermon, came around
to the students and talked with them
personally. When he reached me my mind
was occupied with my frosted foot. ''Boyn-
ton" he thundered, "do you know you are
going to hi at railroad speed?" said I
hoped not.
"You are." he continued, with awful
emphasis. "What would you do if you
should find yourself in hi this very min
ute?"
81 think, SIR" 1 replied, shat I would
warm my feet the first thing"
The old gentleman's eyes twinkled, but
his face was as severe as ever. He simply
said: "You are incorrigible, sir," and passed
on.

plies particularly to group pictures. Strong
sunlight will cause the faces to be drawn
and in some cases distorted. To prove this
stand in the direct rays Of the sun and see
how your eyes will be affected.
In making group pictures see that the
people in it are not scattered too much. Ii
the group is very large, place the subjects
In q slight semi-circle, with the ends toward
the camera. That will insure them being
about the same distance from the lens as the
center Of the group.
IF the group is made up of three rows,
which Is the best plan, when many people
are in it, focus on the middle row and get
the average effect.
Be sure that the faces are all we'll lighted.
Turn them so that no shadow will fall on
any part. The result of shadow on the
face will be black, indistinct reproduction
in the print.
To secure best results it is well to have
the subjects pose without hats. Where this
is not practical, see to it that the shadow Of
the hat does not fall over the eyes.
And now word or two regarding the
handling of plates. Remember that they
are sensitive to the least particle of white
light As cautioned above, do not pull the
slide Of the plate holder except when the
latter is in the camera, or while working in
the clark room" by ruby light The proper
preparation of the ''dark ROOM" with in
structions for handling plates and develop
ing, will be the subject of next weeks paper
of the elementary series on photography.
Many people now expose plates but do not
develop them, believing the process to be
difficult and intricate. They miss entirely
the chief charm of the art.

How the Ex-statesman Spends His Time,
and Where He Spends 1t.
A capacious room at the right of the main
hall is the Generals "den," says a writer in
the Boston Herald, in describing visit to
the home Of Benjamin f. Butler. 1t is an
odd combination of library, Office and relic
hall. Gases OF books line the wall on one
side, and on the other, between the windows,
are suspended collection of mementoes Of
the war WI; ch the General holds most dear.
In bow window at the front is tubular
glass case in which are the Generals service
sword, dress-parade saber. massive presen-
tation sword and the sword of his son, Capt
am Paul Butler, who since his retirement
from active army service has lived with his
father, and Is interested IN the United States
Cartridge Works in Lowell.

o'clock, eats hearty breakfast. is driven in
q buggy to the station and takes train for
Boston leaving at about $50. He returns
to Lowell almost invariably on the train
leaving Boston at P. NJ His evenings
have little of variety about them, as he
spends most of them in his "den" studying
cases in hand. In that room he receives most
OF his visitors.

preparation, he is responsible for the con-
dition of the property of the department
and his time is fully occupied, while his
duties are successfully and satisfactorily
performed.
The Assistant Superintendent, Roger
O'Msra, has, also, rather peculiar posi-
tion. In the absence of the superintendent
his duties would devolve upon O'Mars, but
while Wier is ON duty O'Mars figures as
the personal staff officer Of Chief Brown.
Except when he is on a direct assignment,
he has a rowing commission, and, en- passant,
he carries with him the right sort of legs for
that sort OF commission. He has share
in the direction of all the detective work
that he cares to concern himself about, and
in important cases his skill and experience
are largely relied upon by the chief His
present position is the most pleasant that he
has ever held in the department, and his
grip on it is evidently strong and earnest.
THE LEADING INSPECTOR.
Ofthe inspectors, McAleese, who is in
charge of the Central and most important
district, has made an enviable record for
himself during his connection with the de-
partment. He came into it a novice at the
urgent personal solicitation of Chief Brown,
leaving the fire department in which he had
for years been valuable official. He took
to his new duties as a duckling does to
water, and to-day there is no more efficient
executive officer in the department. In the
performance of that duty he has made him.
selfa terror to violators of the law, and
transgressors of all grades now give him a
very wide berth.
The Southside, formerly very turbulent
district, has been reduced to order under the
administration of Inspector McKelvy, q
trained and experienced officer, who has
been. and who is likely to be, equal to any
emergency arising in his jurisdiction. The
East End district is in charge of Inspector
Whitehouse, whose administration has been
very successful.
The force has enough experienced officers,
but more patrolmen are very much needed,
and theiforce will not be model organiza-
tion until this deficiency shall be supplied.

One of the original features of the Pitts
burg city government, is the police force.
Tne organization is in somelrespects like the
Metropolitan force in New York, in other
respects it resembles the Chicago force, bat
more largely, chiefly in fact, it is its own
sole counterpart. Considering its size and its
opportunities that have been enjoyed to
bring it into condition of effective disci-
pline it will bear comparison, favorably,
with any organization in the country. 1t is
more or less the fashion to jeer at the police,
but the declaration just made is supported
by facts nevertheless.
The old organization subject,a it was, not
only to the vicissitudes of Councilmanic
politics, but to the caprices of whoever
might be Mayor, was patched and ragged
aggregation, remarkable chiefly for its abil-
ity to draw breath and its salary. I don't

WASTE NOT WANT NOT.

Absolutely Nothing Thrown Away In Gen.
eral Booths Utopia.
Take old umbrellas, says General Booth
in his new book entitled Tin Darkest En-
gland" The itinerant umbrella mender Is
almost the only agency by which old um-
brellas can be rescued from the dust heap.
Side by side with our boot factory we shall
have a great umbrella works. The iron
work of one umbrella will be fitted to the
stick of another, and even from those that
are too hopelessly gone for any further use
as umbrellas we shall find plenty of use for
their steels and whalebone.
Bottles are fertile source of minor do
mestic worry. When you buy bottle you
have to pay penny for it; but when you
have emptied it you cannot get penny
back; no, nor even farthing. You throw
your empty bottle either into the dust heap
or let it lie about But if we could collect
all the waste bottles of London every day it
would 60 hardly with us if we could not
turn very pretty penny by washing them,
sorting them and sending them out on a new
lease Of life. The washing of old bottles
alone will keep considerable number Of

far as police matters were concerned, and to
their amazemeut they learned, after CONVEX

the application of the metropolitan principle
to force almost too small to work easily

Spokane Falls Review.1

How Copper-Colored Adonis Manages His
Wardrobe and Tresses.
Spokane Falls Review.l
Louis, a fne-looking young buck, evil
IDENTIFY dude Indian, took the witness
stand. Louis stood 6 feet in his new buck
skins. His face was an interesting study.
Of light copper color, with regular feat
ures, except for rather large mouth and
strong prominent cheek bones, Louis was a
good-looking fellow. His eyes were keen
and bright and well set in his head below q
high, broad forehead.
1t was his back hair that was Louis chief
glory. Long and black as a ravens wing
it was carefully combed and oiled. Instead
of being brushed straight back, thick
bunch directly in the middle of the forehead
was combed to the left and hung in grace
full wave, which occasionally fell across his
eyes, and as regularly pushed back into the
place with stately movement OF the hand.
Two long braids, bound with yellow and
white silk floss, fell from behind his ears,
over on to his breast, which was ill-con-
cealed BY loose cotton shirt open at the
neck. On his arms and around his neck
were bands of beads. He wore close-fitting
leggings of navy blue, trimmed with red
braid, and broad fiaring fringe. Around
his waist and hanging around his legs, was
handsome Navajo blanket of many colors.
