First Person Photographed.

It was in 1842 that John Draper, then
a professor in the University of New
York, made the first portrait photo
graph. The subject was Elizabeth
Draper. his sister Prof Draper had
the idea that in order to produce dis
tinct facial outlines in photography 1t
would be necessary to cover the coun-
tenance of the person photographed
with flour. This seems a strange no
ton now, and it proved not to be good
one then, for all of Prof. Draper's early
attempts were failures. Finally he left
out the flour and then was quite sue
cessful. This so delighted him that he
sent the picture to Sir William Hersch-
el. the eminent English astronomer.
Sir William was in turn delighted, and
made known Prof. Draper's success to
the scientific men of Europe. He also
senN Prof. Draper letter of acknowl-
edgment and congratulation, which
has been carefully preserved in the
archives of the Draper family.

TROUT AND PICKEREL.
Something About Their Methods of Feed
ing, as Observed at the Aquarium.

Something About Their Methods of Feed
ing, as Observed at the Aquarium.
1t is easy to observe at the aquarium
the habits IF fish in feeding. Some are
sluggish, some are fierce and some are
sly. The trout are fed on live kilIies.
The killies when thrown into the tank
scatter in all directions, with the trout
after them like chain lightning, twist
ing and turning with marvellous celeri-
ty. The killies double, the trout dart
after them. Rising to a bunch of Kill
lies at the top, the trout fairly make
the water fly. They jump almost, if not
quite, clear out of it, as if they were
turning somersaults, and down they go
in again and ON after the killies. 1t is
dashlng, slashlng, crashing pursuit,
and in about half minute the killies
are all gone.
The pickerel-how different! How
silent, and yet how suddenl The killie
dropped in above darts downward
through the water Not pursued, it
slow down and halts in the middle of
the tank to rest and to recover its equa-
nimity after its recent disturbing expe-
rience of being removed from its home
in the live food tank, carried about in
galvanized iron tray, and finally
dropped into another tank as food for
other fishes
At little distance is observed the
pickerel. 1t has come up silently. like a
long, slender, little steamer moving
dead slow. 1t comes to halt so smooth
ly and quietly that the instant of it's
halt is not noticed. 1t is simply seen to
be lying there, motionless, about six
inches from the killie.
All is peace and quiet in the tank,
and the killie still balances itself in the
water and rests. Suddenly, with no ap-
parent exertion of power, the pickerel
darts forward. The movement is so sud
den that it is not realized that the pick
erel has moved until it is seen in its
new position. The killie is gone. 1t is
now in the pickerel's interior, and prob
ably with only very hazy notion, if
any at all, of how it got there.
The methods of the trout and picker
ell are very different; their results, how
ever, are much the same.-New York

NOT tn Re Ruukoed.

The president of one Of the leading
eastern colleges was recently journey
ing toward New York and found him
self in the same seat with an old man
whose general appearance betokened
the farmer. They soon fell into conver-
sation, and after saying that he was on
his first visit to the metropolis the
farmer mentioned the name of the lit
tie village up among the hills of New
Hampshire from which he came and re-
marked that he supposed his friend had
never heard of it. "Oh, yes," said the
man. ST was born there" Imagine his
astonishment when the country man,
after staring at him several seconds, ex-
claimed, "See here, I've heard all about
you bunko fellers. and you can't get a
chance to bunko me-" So saying, he
grabbed his carpetbag and, marching
down the aisle, took a seat ON the other
side of the car.-New York Times.

DON'T Whine.

Don't be whining about not having a
fair chance Throw sensible man out
of window and he'll fall on his feet,
and ask the nearest way to his work.
The more you have to begin with the
less you will have in the end. Money
you earn yourself is much brighter
than any you get out of dead mems
bags. A scant breakfast in the morn
ing of life whets the appetite for a
feast later in the day. He who has
tasted a sour apple will have the more
relish for a sweet one. Your present
want will make future prosperity all
the sweeter. A few cents has set up
many peddler in business, and he has
turned it over until he has kept his car
riage. AS for the place you are cast in,
don't find fault with that; you need not
be a horse because you were born in a
stable. If bull tossed a man of metal
sky-high he would drop down into a
good place. A Woodworking young
man with his wits about him will make
money while others will do nothing but
lose it.

DIED IN A WORKAOUSE.


Woman Who Was Once the Wife of
European King.
The romances Of the London work
house would form a thrilling and pa
thetic record, and, for sad vicissitude
and ill luck, few cases could surpass
that of an inmate of one of our poor
houses who has very recently passed
away, says London paper. A lady
visiting the institution was struck by
the evident refinement of an elderly
woman in the infirmary who was a
Norwegian by birth, but who spoke
English and other languages fiuently.
She had all the attractions of a very
lovely woman, which years of poverty
and i'll health could not destroy. She
was very reticent as regarded her past,
but was so evidently a gentlewoman
that the sympathetic visitor eXerted
herself to obtain admission for the in
valid Into home for the dying, in
which she might pass her last days in
peace and amid congenial surround
ings. Before her death the stranger
told her story, and a strange and ro-
mantle one 1t proved to be. At II she
was Informed by her parents that she
was to be married, and although she
had no voice in the matter, nothing
could have been more satisfactory. Her
husband was handsome, cultured and
devoted. They lived in a charming
country house, surrounded by every
luxury, and four children were born to
the couple. The only drawback to the
perfect happiness of the young wife
were the long and frequent absences Of
her husband, which he attributed to
business, but would explain no further.
At last there came day when the man
returned no more from his accustomed
journey, but sent his lawyer instead,
from whom the bewildered and heart
broken woman learned that her suppos-
ed husband was the King of -, and
that, owing to pressing reasons, the liza
son should terminate. A large sum was
settled on her and the children, and,
wishing to break entirely with the past,
she came to live in London. After some
years she married an Englishman, and
shortly after the king died, leaving a
lump sum to her. This money the hus-
band got from her to invest, and ran off
with the entire amount, leaving his un-
fortunate wife penniless. She had new
er been trained to any sort of work and
things went from bad to worse, until,
utterly destitute and dying, she became
an inmate of the WOrkhOuse

He Got His Dose.

The llama Of South America is an ex-
pert marksman, though it never uses
its craft in the procurement of its food.
Only when annoyed and angry does it
give an exhibition of It's wonderful
skill in hitting the object aimed at. The
llama's weapon Is Its mouth; its bullet
is composed Of saliva and chewed hay.
Several years ago, at the Fair
grounds in st. Louis, l witnessed an
exhibition Of this creatures powers of
expectoration, in which the victim was
a country beau, who came very near
losing his sweetheart thereby This
young man was one of those selfsuffi-
cient individuals who imagine that
knowledge sits enthrOned in the tenn
Piles of their own personal intellects;
"that what they do not know Is not
worth knowing" He was annoying the
llama (the animal stood in the center of
its pen, probably fifteen feet or more
from it's tormentor) by throwing clods
of dirt at it and by beating on the rails
Of the pen with his cane. | saw by the
creatures actions that 1t was angry;
Gated that it was preparing to attack
It's prosecutor. l warned the young
man, telling him what to expect; his
sweetheart begged him to desist and
to come away. But he treated my
warning with derision, and told the girl
that she knew his business" Suddenly
there came a whizzing, whistling noise,
followed by sharp spat; the young
wiseacre lay supine upon his back with
his eyes and forehead plastered with
a disgusting mixture of saliva, hay and
mucus.

shouldered her parasol and walked
away.

There is more Catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it a local disease
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treatment
pronounced it incuroble. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional dis
ease, and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufac-
tured by F. ]. Cheney Il Co., Toledo, Ohio,
is the only constitutional cure on the mar
ket. 1t is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-
tenn. They offer one hundred dollars for
any case it fails to cure. Send for circulars
