How would an English bride care to
fast on her wedding day until after the
sacred ceremony, and this after endur-
ing the hardships Of a farewell party
given the day before, Yet this il what
. Russian girl is supposed 10 do. As the
marriage, to be fashionable, should not
occur until evening, 1t may easily be
imagined in what an exhausted state
she is to commence her new period Of
life.
Besides bridesmaids there are brides

sent the bridesmaids with sweetmeats.

Full OF Sunshine.

Most contemplate among all
Gods creatures are the men who live
to indulge in a spirit OF bitterness to-
ward the rest ofmankind. The world
is iull of blessing and sunshine in
which all men may share, but small
indeed lis the portion OF him who feeds
on jealously, feasts on grudges and
plots to hinder the progress OF other
men. Selfshness is the supreme i'm
pulse, and in base greed it is assumed
that in the race OF life, prizes may be
won by holding back Others on the
course, while strong and manly men
are helping their fellows to the point
OF winning. Men full-grown in mind
and soul are aware that the poorest
investment in the whole range of HUI
man endeavor is revenge. Life is so
short that men cannot afford to
spend their time and warp their bet
ter natures in campaigns OF hatred,
while the opportunity for well doing
is all about. Extract from the pen

PHOTOGRAPHIC MYSTERIES.


The Surprising Images That some.'he'
Show After Plate Ii Developed.
Il is no uncommon experience to ma
upon new plates certain images Ior
which there seems no possible explana-
ton, their startling and unaccountaoie
appearance being "wropt In mistry,
causing establishment not unmixed win
unoanny feeling. A gentleman mado
an exposure upon the interior OF
friends house. He was doubtful OF the
time and proceeded to develop for I'M
der exposure. To his great surprise the
plate developed quickly, and to his
greater surprise the image was an III
terror quite different from that upon
which he had exposed. The plate was
from a fresh box and could not possibly
have had previous exposure.
Another instance Of the, kind, having
quite a sensational and tragic ending,
is on record. An exposure was made
upon q view having river In the fore
ground. The photographer, while de-
veloping this peculiar plate. was per-
fectly astounded by an appearance
which he had not seen while taking the
photograph. and for which he could in
no way account. On completing the
development there was plainly reveal
ed in the foreground Of the picture the
figure Of . woman, apparently floating
upright in tho water. Not many weeks
after. to complete The mystery, the body
Of a woman was found in the river at
the exact spot where the photograph
had been taken
Again. not long since. the daily pa
pers were agitated over the account OF
travelling photographer who, upon
making an exposure upon the exterior
Of q reputed haunted house, discovered
at one of the windows portrait Of the
murdered man through whom the
house had gained its evil name. In an
other case three distinct images, having
no connection one with the other, were
impressed upon single film. The plate
was exposed upon garden In the even.
ing-nothing remarkable being seem
but when placed In the developer q
mans hat Of old fashioned shape, Q
child's dress and dog were dtstrib-
uted over the image Of the garden.
Such mysterious images wero more
common in the days Of wet plates than
now. A few years back Professor Bur-
ton investigated the matter. Upon trae.
ing back the history Of the glass he
found that it had been used for other
films, and that the images which ap-
peared undoubtedly arose from the re-
mains Of previous images. The old
glass was thus proved to be tho souroe
Of the ghosts; 1t only deepened the sci-
entific mystery, while it cleared away
the supernatural. The glass traced by
Burton had been washed for some
weeks, immersed in strong nitric acid,
and every means taken to insure chem
ical cleanliness, yet in spite of all this
enough energy remained latent to form
a developabIe image upon the new film,
whether by chemical or physical force
remains to be discovered. A complete
solution of the difficulty would prob
ably throw considerable light upon the
nature Of the Photographic images In
general. At least, it seems to indicate
that light is not absolutely essential IN
the formation Of latent images in q
sensitive film.-American journal O,

EDITOR ADVERTISER:

As 1T has been quite a while since
have written any for your most valu-
BILE paper, | will try and pen a few
lines, although | have no news that
Will interest your readers.
We arc here Il long way OIL in the
wilds of Arkansas where news and
good times are scarce. | am thankful
to say that we are in our usual health.
At present there is not much sick
ness in our part of the country.
Crops are very poor, owing to the
long drouth and it still continues. 1t
is now eight weeks since we
have had a good season in the ground.
The weather is extremity hot. Some
times the wind blows hard, but it
seems to do more harm than good.
Gardens are burnt up. If it does not
a 500 there will not be but very
little made.
Many farmers have given liens and
mortgages, and they will not make
enough to live on-saying nothing
about paying debts. A drouth last
year and one this year has just about
upset all who had the misfortune to be
in them. The merchants will suffer
too as well as the farmers. How an
other crop is to be made is more than
| can tell. Here in our part OF the
country the outlook is gloomy. Wa
ter is getting to be an object, very
near all the wells have failed, creeks
and branches have about drycd up.
IN some Of them Il few holes of water
can be found. 1t is our good fortune
to bc near n fine spring which we APP
prcciatc very much. There arc a great
many who go a considerable distance
to watcr their stock. 1t roaly seems
that this part Of the country is given
to drOuths and If it continues so am
of the opinion that a good many fam
lilies will change their places Of resi-
dcncc. AS for myself J. am willing and
ready to vacate our present location,
and if nothing prevents us it will not
be long till we bid adicu to this part of
the country, and cast Il lot with the
many dear friends that we left in South
Carolina, to me the dearest spot on
this green earth.
Best wishes for THE ADVERTISERS
