THE TALK OF THE DAY.

Says Boston photographer: "Thc last time that
Emerson ever sat for his picture was just before his
mind gave way. lie came into the gallery one day
with relatives, who assisted him with his wraps
and in making ready foc the photographer. 1t was
very difficult that day to make picture Of the great
man that would suit the relatives who were with him.
1t wasn't because Emerson fussy or nervous; he
was, in fact most delightful SITTER and this occa
sion his courtesy was no less marked than at
other times. But when he directed his gaze
steadily at the object which G artist select
cd the features relaxed very peculiarly and the
expression of the eyes and mouth was strongly
irrational if that word may be used in such connec-
ton. The relatives, who accustomed to his feat
ures and their expression, saw in the negatives wht
they couldn't see In the original OF the Picture 30
they ordered that the negatives be not developed but
destroyed. And the visit paid for but no photo
graphs were ever delivered II vas noticed that as
Emerson left the gallery that day his eyes were bent
steadily on the floor, and he smiled continually Very
soon after the story Of his mental trouble was pub
lshed but this story of the last sitting no one ever
heard"

Amateur photographers" says photograph printer,

upon to make prints of Ossifed man who has IAN
helpless in bed in q NewIIampshire farm mouse ior
thirty years. They for his people, and by their
instructions the plate returned to them. Dogs,
cats. naked babies and children wading in the SURF
are favorite subjects. l recently made prints OF
