Charles TO the executioner's block in 1919.
On the restoration of the Stuarts to the
throne in 1860. Whalley and Goffe fed to
America, were concealed at New Haven
and other places while the minions Of
Charles ii hunted them through every town
in the colonies, and finally they found a
haven of refuge in the house of Rev. John
Russell.
The further history of the lot on which
the house depicted herewith stands is that
it was sold by Samuel RUSSELL the son of
Rev. John, to William Arms and Nathaniel
Dickinson in 1870 1t was then bought by
Rev. William Williams of Hatfield, who in
1851 sold it to Hannah, widow OF Samuel
Porter.
In 17O1 she sold 1t to William Arms, and
he in February. 1923, sold part to Eben-

exertion, Dulaney freed himself from the
coils and succeeded in cutting tin two with
his scythe. He then sank TO the ground,
exhausted with fright and fatigue. That
portion Of the snake with the head lay on
the grass near the farmer, and the peculiar
color of the ophidian'5 eyes caused him to
pick it up, and he found his own face pho

He took the reptile to town, where it was
photographed and placed in alcohol. The

Any squint or cast In the eye can be cured
without the expense Of going to physician

With child cure can be effected in a

WORK OF A CAMERA.
The Giant Strides of Photography in Half
n Century.

The Giant Strides OF photography IN hait
Century.
" Photography" it has been said, sis one
of the three great discoveries Of the age
the steam engine, the electric telegraph and
photography. No five centuries in human
progress can show such strides as these"
AND photography, let us remember, is the
youngest OF the three.
The pursuit of photography gives exer-
else to the body, while il diverts tho mind,
and delights with even a higher JOY the
sense for all things beautiful. The anna
tcur photographer is shown things by the
camera wh hich he never dreamed of before,
and is led by it into the secret haunts of
nature, of whose existence even he was
previously ignorant. Truly it is fasclna-
ting art, ana one that benefits in the most
vital and lasting ways, while 1t gives pleas
ure to the devotee.
And wonderful have been the achieve
ments accomplished in less than fifty years,
for the daguerreotype-the method which
underlies our modern procesS-was not
made public until 1889. Dry-plate phOtog-
rapEy is about ten years ola, ana most OF
the progress in this delightful art-science
has therefore been accomplished within the
past decade.
The dry-plate made possible instantaneous
photography and all the later advances, and
simplified the process to such degree that
any brgh: boy or girl of 10 can easily master
it in a few days. For the older ones it is a
refining accomplishment that is easily ac-
qured and affords no end Of amusement and
benefit.
A complete Photographic outfit can be
purchased from any reliable dealer for from
$40 to 500, and the necessary instruction
can be obtained in one lesson when the
purchaser obtains his equipment. 1t is,
then, merely a question of practice and
taste. In short time all the remarkable
achievements of photography are as easy for
the new amateur as they were for the eXpe-
rienced workers who first made them posi-
BILE. The latest conner has the benefit of all
that has been accomplished before, as well
as an infinite field for progress. What
