The Lord Told Her to Sing.

The Baptist chapel ut Leytonstone was
crowded on Sunday because of an an
nouncement that Madam Antoinette
Sterling would sing during the service
She not only sang, but at the prayer
meeting which followed joined IN prayer
and delivered short address. 1t may
not be generally known that the famous
contralto is a believer in the doctrine of
the Inward Light.
A pretty story is told about her in this
connection. She was present at one of
the Quaker meetings at Devonshire
square, and the brethren and sisters re-
manned some long time without the
spirit moving any of them to utterance.
At last Madam Sterling got up and saug
30 Rest in the Lord" which created no
small stir. The clerk afterward APP
preached her, and said, "Thee knowest,
sister, it's against the rules; but if the
Lord telleth thee to sing, thee must"
1t was probably through her recollec-
ton of this incident that Mrs. Margaret
Lacy, the sister of that old tribune of
the people, John Bright, called in her
last illness for 1.-The singing sister"
Needless to say. Madam Sterling went.

Suecter PhOtocraDhs.

Mr.. Arthur S. Green, an American
photographer, gives the following meth
cd of making the camera a source Of
amusement by the production of "ghost'
or shadow" pictures-for example, a
seated man starting back in terror from
his own specter Make backgrc und Of
the proper size by stretching out some
black material. Place the subject, draped
in white or in light clothing, in the right
attitude to the right or left of the center
of the background, then focus the cam
era and expose the plate for half Sec
ond. The impression will be that Of a
shadowy and ghostlike figure. Take a
chair and table, placing the chair in the
center Of the background, and the table
on the side away from the ghost.
Seat the subject in the chair, with his
head turned to the ghost; focus again,
and give the plate a full exposure, which,
if the light is good, should be about two
seconds. Develop and print in the usual
way. Amy objects to be seen through
the ghost should, be photographed with
fifteen seconds exposure before taking
the picture Of the ghost. Other devices
of the kind might be mentioned, but it
will be more interesting to leave them
to the ingenuity of the amateur.-New
York Advertiser.

Fishing for Ducks.

In India an ingenious scheme is prac-
ticed for taking ducks on line, which
is attached at one end to a flexible stick
stuck up in the mud, the other extremity
having double pointed needle of bone
attached to it. The latter is baited by
stringing upon it some grains Of corn.
Presently along comes Mr.. Duck, swal-
lows the needle and finds himself CAP
tive the moment he tries to fly away. In
old times the Cape Cod fishermen de-
pended largely for bait up IN the sea fowl
they took on their voyages. To catch
them they threw out fishing lines with
hooks on the ends, to which were at
tached chunks Of cod liver. The latter
foated because of the oil they contained,
and INJURIES, gulls and other birds swal-
lowing them were quickly pulled in,
skinned and chopped up.-Interview in
