instantaneous photography has rc-
gealed the fact that there is in art the
conventional attitude and the real at
titudc of men and animals In action.
The horse, for instance, in running,
never assumes the conventional atti-
tude, as the camera has shown. But
II pictures of horses running were all
from instantaneous photographs they
would look unreal. The reason
for this is that the camera is
quicker than the human eye. Whe n
you look ut n horse running the pict-
ure presented to the eye is composite
picture and not snap shot. The con-
ventional attitude is always graceful,
while the real attitude, which the
camera detects, israrely so.
A French savant has been investi-
eating this subject by photographing
two blacksmiths at work. He has i'm

An Ideal, Delicious Cup Can DC Made
.u. - Only One Way
An ideal cup of coffee can, 1t Is said,
be made only in one way. The coffee
must be of the best quality and must
be assorted, ground Immediately and
used as quickly as possibly. Connois-
seurs in coffee assure us that it is out
of the question to make this beverage
absolutely perfect out of factory
roasted coffee that has been allowed to
stand in the open air any number Of
hours, and, in addition, one might say
that sucll y thing as cup of good cof-
fee from that which is purchased ready
ground is quite an impossibility. The
fine aroma of the berry cvaporates in
very short time. Given the freshly
roasted and ground coffee, an carthen
coffeepot heated very hot by being
filed with boiling water, which must
be poured out again, and a coffee bag
straincr. Then put in the coffee, ground
very fine, almost to q powder Pour
upon it boiling watcr-not merely hot
cover tightly and allow the coffee to
filter through. Have ready the cups
heated by pouring boiling water in
them, put in the required quantity Of
cream and sugar, then fill up with the
distilled nectar from the coffeepot, aud
one has a beverage that an exchange
calls revelation. Never expect good
results from poor coffee or lukewarm

What DO we Weieh7

A. French doctor has pointed out
that several fallacies are common with
regard TO the weight of the human
body The man who congratulates
himself on his gain of several pounds
in weight over a given period may have
no cause for rejoicing for he may be
under delusRn. Very few people,
says this French investigator, have
any correct idea of their own weight
AS rule the correctness of his scale
may be doubted, the weight of the
clothing not taken into account, the
time which has elapsed since eating,
etc. AS matter of fact the weight of
the body is continuously changing,
owing to innumerable influences. On
warm day after breakfast n man will
lose more than third of a pound per
hour Seventy per cent. of the body
consists of water, and thus it's weight
must vary with the Transportation of
moisture. Therefore the differences
drawn from the loss or gain of a pound
or two may be mistrusted Fluctua-
tons of few ounces per day are sign
that.the body is. in healthy state

There was the time he confused
those two letters-one was to Miss
Ruyster, to whom Reggie was very de-
voted, and the other to Suydham, who
had transacted a piece of business
which narrowly escaped the line of
bare-faced fraud, and which made poor
Winters pocketbook wofully thin for a
time. He wrote the letters the ssame
afternoon and addressed the envelopes
indiscriminately-the rattlebrainl

"You are o fraud, liar and thief
Reggie was in a temper when he
penned those words. She did not take
the trouble to read the letter way
through, but glanced at the signature,
and shifted very scornful sniff.
Suydham was equally surprised when
he read the sweet little note never in
tended for his eyes.
Poor Winters was fairly crushed
when he realized, with many hints
from the malicious Suydham, what a
blunder he had committed. He had
not the courage to call and face the
storm Of feminine wrath which must
inevitably await him-he was withal
something of coward-but wrote pro-
fuse apologies, and took great care in
addressing the envelope which inclosed
them. And so the engagement between
Miss Ruyster and himself, at which
SO many people had limited, never ma
teriaiized.

street whistling an improvisation, very
badly out of tune. His old pal, shay
gy and very disreputable-looking black
Newfoundland dog, followed him de-
jectedly. Along the street came dog
catcher's wagon, and when the deputy

the boys pal he recognized his lawful
prey. He was on the ground in an in
slant, had the wire moose over the
dogs head, and before you could say
"Jack Robinson" the Newfoundland
had struck the bottom of the wagon
without whimper Not so the boy,
who set up a terrific howl, which
seemed TO amuse the dog catcher inn
mensely. On the opposite corner stood
groap of express wagons and their
drivers loafing near them. One of the
drivers called to the boy encourag-

"Why don't We git rock and break

At this the dog catcher, who was
winding up his moose, turned toward
the expressman. The dog catcher was
