Tn a Photograph Gallery.


 One old gentleman often came to me tc have his picture taken. He wore a whit. cravat about five inches in height, and h, held his head above it. always tried tc get his head down, so as to obtain a view of his face without looking up his nos | trils; but he never let me. As soon as placed his head in a good position b, would say that that was not natural, ant up would go his head. It was this gentle man who was told by a crazy woman OF the Jersey ferry-boat that when he died il would not be much trouble to bury him, as he was already laid out.
 A lady once brought her three children, hobby horse, a drum and a doll. They were to be taken in group. The size se- lected was three and one-fourth by four and one-fourth inches The girl, Angeli- na, was to hold the doll; but the family had not decided whether Charles Augustus was to ride the horse and William Henry hold the drum, or vice versa. They had agreed to let my superior judgment decide that momentous question. As both the boys wished to mount the horse, a deci- sion was no easy matter. I then learned that the mother did not want the children close together, as all the ''dog-ra- -types'' were taken. She wanted Angelina in the middle of the room, one of the boys by the ''winder," and the other boy on the other side of the room. It was brilliant idea, but how my camera was to reach them all, thus spread out, was more than l could see. I told her that it could not be done; 1 explained to her the capabili- ties of the lens, the concentration of the light, and so forth, but she did not under stand me. She said that she had been told that 1 was disposed to be accommoda- ting, but that I was just the same as the rest of the 'tdog g-ra-type" men, for three others had refused to accommodate her in this way. .--t-E --'
 Another lady brought her three chill dren to be taken in a group, and when I asked her if she wished them taken in any particular position, she showed her good sense by saying that she only asked that they should not look like three candles: she did not wish them all standing straight.
 An old lady, after sitting about half the time required to have her picture taken, raised both hands and exclaimed, "Stop it! stop it I winked,'
 As all elegantly dressed young lady was preparing to sit for her picture she asked: ''Where must look!" and before I could answer, her escort, a very diminutive spec imen of man, stepped in front of the screen and said in a squeaking voice, Look at me-" The scene was so ludi- crous that the lady burst into hearty laughter, and il was some minutes before she could control her features for a sit ting. After that, Look at me-" soto voce, was for some time a by-word in the gallery.

"RIrin.,, an ocean steamer.

Lieutenant Kelley, U. s. N, in May ScriOner.l
 In the stoke hole, however, one leaves behind the formal and mathematical, and sees the picturesque with alt its dirt un- vanished, with all its din and changer un- subdued. Under the splintering silver of the electric lamps cones of light illumi- nate great spaces garishly and leave others in unbroken masses of shadow. Through bulkhead doors the red and gold of the furnaces chequer the reeking floor, and the tremulous roar of the caged fires dom mates the sibilant splinter of the steam. Figures nearly naked, gritty and black with coal, and pasty with ashes and soaked with sweat, come and go in the blazing light and in the half gloom, and seem like nightmares from fantastic tales of demo- nology.
 When the furnace doors are opened thirsty tongues of fire gush out, blue spi- rals of gas spin and reel over the bubbling mass of fuel, and great sheets of flame suck half burnt carbon over the quivering fire wall into the hues. With averted heads and smoking bodies the stokers shoot their slice-bars through the melting hillocks, and twist and turn them until they undulate like serpents. The iron tools blister their hands, the roaring fur naces scar their bodies; their chests heave like those of spent swimmers, their eyes jingle in parched sockets-but work they must, there is no escape, no holiday in this maddening limbo. Steam must be kept up, or perhaps cruel record must be lowered. Facing the furnaces, the hol- low unseooping of the stoker's shovel echoes stridently on the iron floor, and these speed-makers pile coal on coal until the fire fairly riots, and, half-blinded, they stagger backward for a cooling res pite. But it is only moment at the best, for their task-masters watch and drive them, and the tale of furnaces must do its stint. The noise and uproar are deafen- ing; coal trimmers trundle their barrows increasingly from bunker to stoke-hole, or, if the ships motion be too great for the wheels, carry it in baskets, and during the four long hours there is no rest for those who labor here.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

"Heart failure" does not go down with the California State board of health any more. The board holds that ''only lazy and ignorant physicians give certificates to that effect," and say that accuracy de- mands something more explicit.
 Public school teaching in Spain appears to be decidedly labor of love. One teacher, whose case was brought into notice re- gently, had not received his salary for F years While that was an extreme case, it is true that the back pay of the teachers now reaches about S700,000. Of course public education suffers greatly.
 The fastest mile man has travelled by various methods of locomation is, to date, as follows: Swiming, 27:52; walking, 6:23; snow shoes, 5:39a; rowing, 5O1; run ming, 4:124; tricycle., 2:49 4-5; skating, 2:12 3-5; trotting horse, 2:0Ss; running horse, 1 1:35; railroad, O:4Ot; balloon, pneu- matic tube and electricity records are yet to be made.

A member of that body, opposing a woman suffrage bill, declared that the only woman who voted in 8 school election in one of the Detroit wards subse- quently eloped with one of her own board CTS. "That is the kind of women who go to the polls and votel' he exclaimed tri- umphantly, and then the bill was over whelmingly defeated. This is logical. The latest scheme for direct railroad com munication between England and France provides for 8 double water-tight tube, capable of containing two rail tracks, and sunk about forty feet in the channel. The engineer proposing this method proposes to utilize the displacement and buoyancy of the tube to give the necessary support, | piles being driven in the channel, to which | the tube would be chained to prevent il | rising.
 France has in her army a unique body of troops for the protection of her rail roads in war. Most of them are men lv ing near the eastern boundary-amone them 1000 foresters and customs officials able to get in the field at few hours notice. Recently this railroad contingent was mobolized, so that it's efficiency might be tested. The mobolization was not very successful. Half the men get no over coats because there were none for them.
 The repeal of the Massachusetts law which compelled saloon-keepers to serv' their customers only when sitting at table and making pretence of eating, apt never when. standing up at bar, simply marks the failure of one more absurd at tempt to encourage temperance by legisla tion aimed at the manner and place O drinking. There was never any sount reason to think that men would drinl less when sitting down than when stand ing up.

Parasollettes.

After thirty years of absence, forgetful-
ness and exclusion from the fashionable
world, the once petted, spoiled and adored
parasolette Is again the rage and craze.
Refined and stately danes of to-day will
remember we'll when a costume of that
fashionable time WAS scarcely considered

petite parasolette. Once again will be seen
the ladies in promenade holding the small
parasolette and with as dextrous hand

the glare Of the sun. How pretty they are
one was wont to say-we mean the parasol-
lettes-and how convenient with their
hinged staff and sliding top, SO admirably
and easily adapted as a fan at

Irritation dare one for a moment consider
it. For an open carriage or n vehicle of
any kind, aside from their usefulness they
give a decided grace to the holder, was re-
marked at the New York Dry Goods store

New York store is II decidedly advanced

for their business forethought in placing
