There is nothing like self possession in

woman was dining at handsome board
in an interior city. She had never, as it
happened, seen lime juice offered in the

liquid to be sauce piquante for the salad

In an instant she became aware, by
that sort Of intuition which Is in the air
at such times, that she had done some
thing wrong, and when she saw her
neighbor adding some Of the contents of
the bottle to his glass of water, she di-
vined at once what her blunder had
been.
The meal progressed and she finished
her salad with apparent relish Her
hostess pressed more upon her, and she
accepted a second serving. Then, with
little air Of not having everything
quite to her liking, she looked up and
down the table and signaled the waitress:

The editor Of The British Journal OF
photography suggests as a modification of
the carbonate Of soda developer the substi-
tuition Of sal ammoniac or crude chloride
OF ammonium for sulphite of soda. He
suggests twelve or fifteen grains to the
ounce solution of soda, with one-third the
quantity of sal ammoniac.
The formulas for the development Of
gelatino-bromide of silver dry plates are as
follows: Water, 1000, sulphate Of soda,
200; carbonate Of soda, 100; paramido-
phenol, II; or water, 1900. sulphate of
soda, 200; carbonate Of lithia, ~ paramido-
