Some men have an idea that thel
CLASHES rim furnished them by the
photographer will make their eyes
look unnatural. This is not so. The
glass simply reflects the light and
takes all expression out of the coun.
terfeit presentment. A mistake com
monty made by sitters is to turn what
they consider the best side of the face
to the camera. Adopt an opposite
course. If the. worst side of your
nose is the left, turn that toward the
camera: then the picture will take
the line of the good side of the nose.
If there is a depression on the left
side, for instance, and the right side
is turned toward the camera, the line
OF the picture will be the irregular
line of the far or left side of the nose.
1t seems a little odd that the worst
side of the face should yield the best
results. but that is a paradox of the
business.

About Blackbtrds.


What boy or girl has not; read

the Kings garden, or of the -Four
and twenty blackbirds all baked in a
pie"
Well, let us see IL we can find out
what blackbirds live ON and what
they do, says the New York Mail and
Express. The commoner ones live on
worms and snails and all kinds of in
sects. But there are other blackbirds
which have red wings, and they are
more particular about what they eat.
They generally live in the Southern
States and feed on rice or corn, and
are a great trouble to the farmers
because Of the large numbers that
come and eat the ripe grain in the
fields. When the grain has all been
gathered in, do you suppose they
starve? No, indeed; they are too
cunning for that. They simply find
out where it has been placed and go
there for their meals. But they are
pretty birds, with their glossy, black
feathers, and we must not blame
them. They have to eat, and, like
many persons, take the easiest way
of getting their food.

His Own Servants.

When HOnore dc BalZac. the novel
ist, stated in early life his wish to be-
come a literary man. his father. who
had destined him for the bar, was
shocked and disappointed. Still, he
gave the boy two years in which to
prove his FITNESS for a literary life,
and Honore was accordingly installed
in an attic near the library where he
proposed to work.
His mother believed that a little
hardship would soon bring him to his
senses, but the correspondence which
he thereupon began with his sister
shows the man who was afterwards to
attain distinction in his chosen work
could afford, as Il youth, to scorn such
tritles as waiting upon himself. In
the very first letter he contided to his
sister the news that he had taken a
servant. He writes:
"Hc is named Myself! And a bad
bargain he is, truly! Myself is lazy,
clumsy, t%houghtlcss. His master is
hungry or thirsty, and often enough
Myself has neither bread nor water
to give him. he doesn't even know
how to shield him from the wind
which whistles through the door and
window. AS soon as l am awake, I
ring for Myself. and he makes my
bed. Then he sweeps the room, and
clumsy he is at it.

his defects, l can't get rid of that I'M

literature with a series of wonderful
works.

New treatment for Rheumatism.

Ate $50 lemons in sixty days.
This is the accomplishment of ,
resident Of the West End. who is nov
lying fiat on his back as a result.
The feat was done by George Un
verzagt, VINO lives on Liberty street
He is employed by Stille s. Duhlmeier
and a short time agocontracted a baG
case of rheumatism. He went to 2
number Of doctors and asked theil
aid in pulling him through his bother
some ailment. He was prescribed fo]
many times, but all the drugs that
he could conveniently pile into him,
self seemed to effect no change in his
condition.
He was advised by friends to try
various treatments not known to the
doctors. but which had accomplished
some wonderful cures. For a Ions
time Unverzagt carried two raw pota
toes in either pants pocket, but follno
his disease only getting worse
Warm baths were also recommended
to him, and he took them continuous
ly until somebody informed him h,
had been seriously mistaken, and
that cold baths were quite the thins
for rheumatism. So the victim tool
cold baths, which, in a short time
almost caused ossification; SO h,
stopped this so-called remedy.
After having tried a number O
like treatments, upon the recon-
mendatiOn of people who claimed tt
be his friends, Unverza!t was told
one day that lemons, taken properly
would effect apositive and permanent
cure of his sickness.
His informant said that lie was M
doctor, and would not be one if h,
could, but that he knew a thing O,
two about such matters. His man
ner was so convincing that his victim
determined to give his advice a littl,
practice. He must eat a lemon tn,
first day, and increase the dose on,
each day for thirty days. On til,
thirtieth day he should eat thirt,
lemons, and from then on he was t.
go backward, decreasing the dose il
the same manner IS he had advanced
until another thirty days we're up
when he would be a cured man.
Unverzagt had always heard tina,
lemons were good for rheumatism
and this fact made him place NOR,
than ordinary faith in the new per
scription. He commenced the treat
ment about seventy days ago, and
strange to say. carried it out to tn,
very letter.
He ate $50 lemons in that tim,
and now the wonder is that he is liv

tors for poisonous condition brough,

extraordinary amountof acid into hi

Relics of a By.one Are.

Some ~prospectors who have just re-
turned to San Francisco from an ex-
petition in search of a lost mine"
supposed to be situated i'm the heart
Of the Colorado desert (Which, of
course, they did not f1nd), came across
some interesting relics of a bygone
age. One of these was an old fort some
distance north of Indian Wells, which
is near the border line of Mexico.
From the pottery picked up in the
ruins. it was evidently of Aztec orr
gin. Near Sackctt's Wells the ex-
plorers found the ribs and PROV of an
old boat half buried in the sand.
How 1t came there is a mystery. since
no stream of water flows within hun
dreds of miles of the spot. In the
neighborhood of Casbasos Mountain a
shallow cave containing the skeletons
of ten Indians was discovered. The
Lagunas, a local tribe, have a SUPER
stitious dread of this opening, because
the Indians whose bones are there
deposited were killed by a stroke of
lightning. While the prospectors
were searching the desert north of
Mountain Springs in the end of Feb
ruary they experienced in one day no
less than 200 shocks of earthquake.
At another time. while they we're
resting under a mesquite tree the
ground cracked open almost un-
der them, SO that they we're able to
see down twenty feet into the earth.
The same shock that caused this
crevice destroyed the hot springs at
Jacomba, which had been flowing for
a great many years.

Proud Of HI. Mother.

There are few eminent men who
have not said that their success in
life was largely owing to their
mothers teaching, and who have not
been proud to own the many illustra-
tions of this truth:
The mother of John Quincy Adams
said in a letter to him, written when
he was only twelve years old:
II would rather see you laid in a
grave than grow up a profane and
graceless boy"
Not long before the death of Mr..
Adams a gentleman said to him: II
have found out who made YOU"
"What do you mean?:" asked MI.
Adams.
Thegcntlcman replied, II have been
reading the published letters of your
mother"
"If," this gentleman relates, 81 had
spoken that dear name to some little
boy who had been for weeks away
from his mother, his eyes could not
have flashed more brightly than did
the eyes of that venerable old man
when l pronounced the name of his
mother.

He hated to make the tender little

the why's and wherefores of his stern
