They Saw Themselves.

An American traveller in Siberia, hav-
ing nothing better to do, one day per-
suaded one of his two native servants
to sit for his photograph. The result
was amusing and not amusing accord
ing to the point of view. The fellow
had never seen mirror, and l. dare
say had no conception of the degree of
ugliness exhibited upon his countc-
nance, At any rate, upon seeing the
picture he manifested no delight,
though his companion, Constantine,
was very much elated, and could not
rest contented until had secured his
picture also. But, alas, for the weak
ness of humanity! Mikhaeloff was the
pleased one this time, while poor Con-
stantine was terribly crestfallen. The
portraits seemed to have brought to
their minds strange revelations, and
they retired from the tent in a very
thoughtful mood, each trying to smooth
down his neglected locks. Presently
Constantine had occasion to borrow my
scissors, and shortly afterward the two
returned with scarcely a vestige of hair
remaining on their heads, and implored
me to make other likenesseS. The fruit
of the camera was to them like the fruit
of the tree of knowledge Youths Com
panion.
