A Georgia Story.

There will be big pumpkin crop in southwest Georgia this year. Recently a farmer invited an editor to ride over his field, and they started at daybreak. At noon they had gone half way around one of the farmers pumpkins, and he informed the editor that he would take him tossee the other side at some future time. -Atlanta Constitution.

The British Speaker.

The position of speaker of the
house of commons is one of great
dignity. He draws salary of f5,-
600 a year, enjoys the use of pal
ace, gets a liberal allowance for en-
tertaining and a peerage on the res
ignation from Office. 1t is one Of the
unwritten privileges of members OF
the house of commons to dine with
the speaker The speakers dinners
are held on Wednesdays and gener-
ally compose total of about 80
members, SO that taking the entire
parliamentary session all the MEM
bers get their turn, starting with
the cabinet, then the leaders of the
opposition and then the rank and
file. Until 1889 it was the custom to
wear court dress at these dinners:
that is, knee breeches, velvet cut
away coats and cooked hats--but in
1889 that rule was swept away. -.

cases the succeeding summer is gen.
orally dry four times in five, but if
q storm arise from the southwest or

Black Stockings.

ut seems to me, said the man of
moderate means, 'that the man who
invented black stockings has never
had his due, and I would like to say
word for him even at this day.
"It is well known fact that 80 or
40 years ago, when men wore white
stockings, a crack in the top of a
boot or shoe was a serious matter.
In blackening considerable amount
of extra labor was required, as well
as a considerable amount Of ex-
ira blacking, in order thoroughly to
black the stocking under the crack
so that it wouldn't show through.
But even with all this extra expendi-
ture of labor and blacking the final
result was often distressing. When
the man came to take his foot down
from the chair or wherever he had
placed it while blacking it, if the
shoe shifted, however slightly, upon
the foot thus restored to it's natural
position, an edge of white showed
through under the crack
"But the black stockings changed
all that. There was saving of labor
to begin with, a greater saving of
blacking, a greater saving than all
in the pride of the wearer of broken
boots Blessed be the man who first
invented black stockings !''-New

THE ART OF POSING.

Cussed From Professional Standpoint.
A photographer of this city who
does not use the trying head rest, in
speaking of posing for photograph
ing, said: II believe that the major
ity of people are scared away by be-
ing badly handled in getting into
what the artist considers proper
position before the camera. The pho
tographer gets at them with his head
rests and keeps them lingering so
long in the tortures they invoke that
by the time they are photographed
they have anything but a cheerful
or natural expression of counte-
nance.
lone of the greatest secrets of
successful photography is to get the
face on the camera while the subject
is unconscious of being taken Most
of our sittings are made in this way,
and we are through before subject

ed. It is something like having a
tooth drawn, you see.
"People who have travelled q great

the best for posing. They are accus

but once in a lifetime think it neces-
sary to havo their hair arranged
elaborately for the occasion by a
hairdresser, aad the results are not
at all satisfactory-she doesn' t look

her. The sa1no thing is true in pho

hair in a style not usual to them,
and they look unnatural

youngsters before they reach the

where a photographer is baby

properly, he can bring out natural
expressions. I'd rather photograph
babies all day than one of their eld-
ers once.

hardest to handle. They think that

There are others, too, who
think they know better than the

course, suit another.

THE NEW ELEMENT, ARGON,
The Manner in Which Lord RayIeigh Dis
cOvered ITO presence in Afmosn nhere

l
covered Its Presence in Atmos phere.
In the current issue of Science Professor
Ira Remsen, of Baltimore, presents in
popular form what is known with refer
| ence to the new element argon, which has
| been so recently discovered by Lord Ray
leigh. 1t is curious that it has remained
| undiscovered SO long, and at the same
time, its discovery is a tribute to the deli
cacy of modern chemical processes. Lord
Rayleigh has been engaged for some time
| in work requiring the accurate Weighing
Of gases. In doing this he was struck by
the fact that nitrogen obtained from the
air is little heavier than that produced
from some other substance. The mme-
diate result of an investigation of this
discrepancy was the discovery of the ele-
ment argon.
| The way in which 1t was obtained Is the
| following. Air has always been thought
to be mixture of oxygen and nitrogen.
| First the air was filtered by passing 1t
through certain substances which would
remove from it any watery vapor, car
bonic acid gas or other impurities. By a
series Of processes all the nitrogen was
removed, and naturally, If the old suppo-
sition We're correct, there should have been
nothing left, but Lord Rayleigh found
that he had gas which he has described

words meaning mo work." because it is
inert, it having been found impossible to
induce it to combine chemically with any
known substance. 1t is curious to note
that the chemist, Cavendish, more than a
| century ago, must have produced argon,
for he followed out a similar series of ex-
periments and said that he had something
left.
