The seventy-eight pauper feet were

Its Abolition Refers to tho Use of tho

The st. Petersburg dispatch to the
effect that an imperial edict had been
issued abolishing the fogging of crimi-
nails apparently refers to the use Of the
plet or pleti and not to the knout, as
was first supposed. Punishment with
the knout, or more correctly the knut,
was abolished by Emperor Nicholas 1.
more than forty years ago. The lash
of the knout was composed of broad
leather thongs, prepared to q metallic
hardness, and often intertwined with
wire.
A sentence of from one hundred to two
hundred blows was considered equiva-
lent to death. When the l1nout was
done away with, the plet, simple lash,
was substituted for It, This was con.
sidered much milder form of punish.

They Are Costly, But Their Charm May
BE Perennial.
Being photographed nowadays is an
elaborate process. Heretofore, when
woman wanted her photograph
taken, she went to the studio and ar
ranged about the size of the picture
and the number she wanted. She gave
a reassuring touch to her hair, sat
down before the camera, turned her
head little TO the right or to the left,
as the artist desired, and, clamped on
either temple, gazed fixedly insipidly
or otherwise, at spot on the wall.
Now the subjects possibilities" are
studied in detail. Nothing is left to
accident. The fashionable woman car
ries her various gowns to the studio
with her, and tries them on, each in
turn, that the artist may decide which
suits her best. She pays fifty dollars
for the photographs.
Her hair is arranged by skillful hands
in different ways, that a style of Golf
fure may be chosen which will be APP
propriate, not only to the contour of
her face and head, but to the environ
ments of the picture. The subjects

her throat and neck, to see whether a
severe high costume or an evening
gown shall be used. The topics Of
backgrounds and accessories are dis
cussed.
All of these tinted carbon photo
graphs are taken full length. May be
the subject will pose as a dame Of the
First empire, with skinny satin gown,
elaborate couture, jeweled girdle, fan
and inaigrette. Perhaps she stands,
half turned about, with her back to
the spectator, and her pure profile
deftly brought out on a dark velvet
curtain. All women would not look
charming in such a position. The
artist knows whom 10 choose, and the
subject will wonder at her own beauty
when she sees the picture.
A wilful, coquettish girl is posed as
modern Priscilla. The quaint spin
ning-wheel and high-backed chair, the
small-paned window at the back of the
colonial room, form a charming con-
trast with her rich brocade gown and
beaming face. The scant, pulled
sleeves set off the rounded arms, the
curve of the wrist, the hand that grasps
the wheel is like rare old painting.
and the undulating outlines of the
figure are suggested, not revealed, by
the prim folds of the lowered silk
frock.
These latter-day photographs are
like paintings, and are likely never to
grow old-fashioned. They have the
charm that distinguishes the portrait
painters of the old English school; q
charm that custom will not stale. They
will not become out of date and gro
tesque, like the photographs of twenty
years ago, found in family albums. In
those days q woman was hired to put
the lights In the eyes, color the cheeks,
and paint the ribbon bows and artifi-
cial flowers of the ladies and the gay
neclsties and buttonhole bouquets of
the gentlemen. The new photographs,

Niagara Falls Plan. in Operation.

NlhRdfh = Oils EAeut III Spofotioh'
After almost five years of work
and the expenditure of over $4,000,
600, Niagara Falls are now being
utilized for power. The monster
5000 horse power dynamos of the
Cataract Construction Company
are now sending out electricity for
commercial use. The first power
was delivered to the works Of the
Pittsburg Reduction Company at
1880 o'clock, August 26, when
dynamo No. in the Construction
company's power house was set in
motion. AT the Reduction com.
pany's works there were about
dozen men at work, and the pots
used in the making of aluminium
are being tested by them.
The power from the power house
is being sent over copper cables
laid in a conduit to the aluminium
works. The current sent out is an
alternating one, and before it can
be used in the making Of alumni
mum it must be transformed to a
direct current. This is done by
passing through four of the largest
rotary transformers ever built.
These are 2,l00 horse power each,
and three Of them are running.

Labor Saving Machinery.

The Detroit Free Press says: at
is well known how ingenious ma
chinery has well-nigh revolu-
tionized the once intricate work
of the carpenter. leaving only the
simplest part oithe trade to manual
labor. Never was this innovation
of patented devices more marked
than between 1880 and 1890, yet
there were 53,547 carpenters in the
United States in the former year
while there were 140,621 in 1890,
and the average wages of the latter
were 1915 as against $3.50 for those
who had less machinery to con-
tend with. Between the same
years great strides were made in
molding and handling of brick by
machinery, yet the number Of
workmen doubled while the num-
Der Of yards was but slightly in
creased, and wages advanced from
an annual average OF 1928 to $780,
In few Industries has the saving OF
labor by machinery been more
marked than in the manufacture
OF furniture, and the cheapening OF
the product has been simply amaz.
ing; yet the number of men EN-.
ployed in it increased from 55,304
in 1880 to 92,aQ4 in 1890, wages ad,
vancing from an average OF S453 to
$527. This line Of evidence might
be pursued throughout the list Of
industries where, for any consider
able time, machinery has been
doing the work of brains and
hands. The conclusion forced i;
that the introduction of labor-sav
ing machinery is not to reduce
permanently the number of en-
ployes, but simply to readjust tn,
working force and insure highe
wages"
