Advice to Amateur Photographers.

A. Bogardus, in a recent article, gives
some excellent advice to amateur photo
graphers. He says: "If you would succeed
in your experiments let everything you use
be the best of its kind. A poor camera box
and weak lens will not give good results.
Have the dark room and everything in it in
perfect order. Use great care in every part
of the process. Carelessness never succeeds.
Do not be satisfied with any kind Of an i'm
preston because some ignorant person has
told you you are doing splendidly. Ii you
are anxious to excel in photography, learn
to develop the negative and to print from it.
Do not carry your plates to a professional
to develop and print them for you. IF you
do, how much OF the picture is your own
execution? Anybody can put plate in a
camera and expose it. Do not attempt
portraits of friends; they will find fault with
them and laugh at you. Your sitter will
not like his or her expression, and will say
tits your fault. Use your plates to make
landscapes or views. Do everything de-
lIberately. Do not neglect to dust the plate
before inserting it in the slide. or the picture
will be spoiled by dust spots. Learn to use
q reliable plate, and do not change. Use
one formula for q developer, and keep on
doing so until you are master of il"
The amateur photographer is finally ex-
horted to master whatever difficulties present
themselves and not to get discouraged.

How to Treat ChamoIs Skins.

Considering what a useful thing n
chamois skin is, it is astonishing that there
is so much ignorance as to the proper way
of keeping it in order and leugthening its
term of service. Chamois skins should
never be left in water after being used, but
should be wrung out and hung uD to dry,
being spread out carefully. so as to leave no
wrinkles. They should not be used to wipe
off colors, as paint stains form hard spots
and make the skin wear out sooner.
Chamois was never intended to wipe the
face and hands with, which makes the skin
become greasy. Never put chamois skin
into warm water; anything above lukewann
water will curl it up, making it become
thick, tough and useless.
To bring back chaDois that has been
ruined by grease or paint. or used as a towel
until it resembles dirty old rag, the fol-
lowing is recommended: Take a bucket of
clean water which has been made fairly but
not too strong with ammonia; soak the skin
in it over night and next morning rinse it
out in pure water, after which use pure
white CASTLE soap and water freely. The
whole operation, aside from the soaking,
need take no longer than qdarter OF an
hour, and it makes the skin in reality better
than it was be ore, having freed it from lint
and other impurities.

PUT THEIR HEADS TOGETHER.

Clever Scheme Of two Stranded Students to
Raise the Wind.
Philadelphia Times. 80
Last summer, during the vacation season
of their college, two Heidelberg students,
Benzel and Stengel, were making lively,
picturesque and carmine- -punctuated tour of
the various fashionable watering places.
The tone Of their journey had been SO con-
tinuously kept up to the highest pitch that
it had an effect like that of a sunstroke,
when Benzel. one morning. said his total
available funds were 81.
"And my exchequer is measured by ex-
actly the same sum-"
Here was dilemma.
The next day at miscellaneous bathing
resort a young gentleman was the life of a
merry party OF ladies and gentlemen. He
had just arrived from Berlin, he remarked,
and by the strength OF On assurance which
had often puzzled learned professors who
knew most OF the mysteries OF existence,
had at once made himself the leader of those
who focked by themselves as tine represen-
tatives of the moueyed class. His banter,
his jokes, his ever-ready wit kept them in
continual merriment
"a note for Mr.. Frederick Beuzel."
So spoke a waiter, handing him an en-
closure. Opening it q shade Of half disap-
psintment crossed his handsome face, and,
excusing himself, he hurriedly left the
room. l
In little while he returned, the sad ex-
preston on his countenance, if anything, in
tensifed.
"My friends" he began, ''there are ups
and downs for all of US In this world, but
anything sadder than this know not. An
old collegeniate, who has met with unde-
served misfortune, noting my presence. sent
In message he would like to see me. I

"GoOdi GoOdl Certainly" was the
unanimous cry.
That evening, at dusk Benzel and Stengel
began their return journey with profusion
Of ruddy exhilaration that made the red Of
their oncoming voyage pales than prim-
roses heart.

A FOX THAT COULD REASON.
Reynard OF Norway's Experimental Jumps
and What They Meant.

AhSgua Oh NOrWays Exper1menGal u jumps
and What They Meant.
New Orleans Picayune.1
A huntsman in Norway one day observed
fox cautiously approaching the stump Of
an old tree. When near enough the fox
jumped up on to the top Of it, and after look
ing around awhile, hoped down to the
ground again. After Reynard had repeated
this feat several times he went his way.
In short time he returned to the spot,
carrying in his mouth q pretty large and
heavy piece OF wood. As if to test his
vaulting powers, he renewed his leap on the
stump, keeping the stick in his mouth.
Finding that even with this weight he could
jump up quite easily, he dropped the piece
OF wood, and coiling himself up Oh top of
the stump, remained motionless, as if dead.
Some time after an old SOW, with a num-
Der OF young ones, came out of the wood
and passed the spot where the fox lay. Two
of the little pigs, having fallen behind the
others, the fox pounced down on one of
them. seized it In his mouth, and sprsng up
again to the tree stump. On hearing her
little one cry.the old SOW came rushing back
to its assistance, and spent the greater part
OF the night in vain attempts to reach Rey-
nard. He, however, took the matter very
eoolly, devouring his prey under the very
nose OF its Mother, which was at length
obliged to move off without being able 70
