PHOTOGRAPHIC Caricatures.

To make picture of IA person apparent
ly standing inside IA bottle, with only the
head showing, requires two negatives.
Take bottle of dark glass and photo
graph it, placing it near enough To tho
camera to obtain a large picture of the
bottle. Next make a photograph of the
person, this time placing the subject at
such distance from the camera that his
body, as shown on the focusing glass, APP
pears about the size Of the picture of tho
bottle. A white background, or one of u
uniform tint, should be used for both pic
lures. The picture of the bottle is first
printed on sheet of sensitive paper, then
take the negative of the person photo
graphed, block out all the body, leaving
only the head For this use Gihon's
Opaque, Strauss mari, or any nonactinic
paint, and apply it to the glass side of the
negative. Take the paper on which the
picture of the bottle has been printed,
place IL on the blocked negative in such a
way that the head appears TO be coming
out of the neck of the bottle The result
will be "A picture of person apparently
standing inside bottle with his head
above the neck of the bottle. A hat, box,
n tin can, "A half open book, "a scrap basket
and similar objects may be photographed,
and for Fourth of July party one could
use n cannon cracker, rocket, etc, in place
of the bottle. Harper Round Table

HOW A BOY SUCCEEDED.
He Was willing and Faithful and Came
Out All Right.

He Was willing and Faithful and Came
Out All Right.
BOYS sometimes think they cannot afford
to be manly and faithful to the little
things. A story is told of a boy of tho
right stamp and what came OF his faith
fitness.
A few years ago large drug firm In
New York city advertised for boy. Next
day the store was thronged with appli-
On nts, among them queer looking little
fellow, accompanied by woman, who
proved 60 be his aunt In lieu OF faithless
parents by whom he had been abandoned
Looking at this waif, the advertiser said
Cant take him. Places all full. Be
side, he Is too small. "
II know he Is small " said the woman,
"but he Is willing and faithful.
There was a twinkle I'm the boys eyes
which made the merchant think again.
A partner In the firm volunteered to re-
mark that he Ibid not see what they
wanted with such boy; he wasn't bigger
than pint of cider" But, after consul
tation, the boy was set to work.
A few days later, call was made on
the boys in the store for some one to stay
all night. The prompt response OF the
little fellow contrasted well with the re-
luctance of the Others. In the middle OF
the night the merchant looked In To see III
all was right in the store, and presently
discovered this youthful protege busy scis-
soring labels.
"what are you doingY" said he. 81 did
not tell you to work nights. "
II know you did not tell me so, but l
thought l might as well be doing some
thing" In the morning the cashier got
orders to "double that boys wages, for he
Is willing"
Only few weeks elapsed before show
of wild beasts passed through the streets.
and very naturally, all hands in the store
rushed to witness the spectacle. A thief
saw his opportunity and entered at the
rear door to seize something, but In
twinkling found himself firmly clutched
by the diminutiye clerk aforesaid, and,
after a struggle. was captured. Not only
was robbery prevented, but valuable ar
ticles taken from other stores were re-
covered. When asked why he staid behind
To watch when all others quit their work,
he replied, "You told me never 10 leave
the store when others were absent, and
thought I'd stay"
Orders were Immediately given once
more, Double that boys wages; he is
willing and faithful.
Today that boy is member Of the firm.

CLOUDS DlSPEllED.
Happy Influence of n Gentle Protest and
a Good. Square Meal.

Good, square Meal.
"If there is anything | despise and de-
test" said Mrs. Billtops, "it's melan-
choly"
Mrs. Billtops is not often so vigorous in
speech as this, and when she is Mr. Bill
tops knows that IL is time to brace up. AS
a matter of fact, he takes usually cheer
full view. But when he is depressed as he
Is occasionally, he is glum and silent and
solemn enough and he makes everybody
around him wretched. The children, sit
ting at the table, stop talking, the dinner
gets cold, and everybody is chilly and mis-
cradle except perhaps at the last Mr. Bill
tops himself, who finds finally sort of
melancholy pleasure in the general depres
sion that he has caused.
But Mrs. Billtops has no use for any
body that casts IA gloom. She has her own
trials, but she never bothers anybody else
about them. Outwardly at least she Is
cheerful and spirited always, and she can't
abide anybody that lets his troubles so far
overcome him that he inflicts them on 9th
or people, too, and so she says:
"If there is anything despise, it's mel
ancholy."
Al that Mr.. Billtops takes brace. He
looks up and smiles. 1t Is wonderful with
Wlldb uldCTlIy bHt CDlluTcH TtSDOuu, anu
Mr. Billtops responds to that, and gloom
is dispelled once more by the ever grateful
light of cheerfulness. And when Mr.. Bill
tops, as the phrase goes, gets something to
eat he feels himself better still. He re-
members, what he has often said to him
self, that no feeling of depression should
ever be accepted as genuine until IL has
been subjected to the test of good square
meal, and he finds that the present one
will not stand that test. In fact, under
the combined influences of Mrs. Billtops'
energetic protest and the good dinner 1t
is rapidly disappearing, and AS the dinner
progresses Mr.. Billtops takes "A still broad
er and more cheerful view of things, and
by the time the meal is finished he is
beaming with good nature, perfectly salts
fled with the present and absolutely conf
dent of the future New York Sun.

HE IGNORED TRADITION.
The littIe Judge Was Convinced and Over
ruled the Supreme Court.

Just as Shakespeare has been accepted
for years and years rs the deciding umpire
I'm most matters literary, So the Nebraska
people had grown To look upon the SUI
preme court Of their state AS the fountain
head of wisdom whose opinions could
not be gainsaid. IL Is IA way people have
of regarding supreme courts i'm most states
rs "a matter of fact.
William Alstadt "A little German, whose
readiest Identification among his people
was by the name of Bismarck" was not
one who cared overmuch for tradition and
one summer day, after having been ha-
rangued by two lawyers until he was al.
most bursting with thirst he made "A de-
cision which brought him fame. It does
not make any special difference what was
the question ut issue. 10 was something
about "a dog There was a sensible side To
1t and technical side. The technical"
lawyer presented bushels and tons of au-
thorities, and finally wound up with tri-
umphant declaration that the supreme
court had decided on IA similar case before,
and had decided his way.
When he had sat down, " Bismarck"
with sigh of relief, said: 81 decides for do
oder Teller. Come on, poys, let's dake u
drink "
But" cried the defeated lawyer in
astonishment, 81 tell you, your honor, that
the supreme court has decided exactly
opposite. /"
any frient, said Bismarck, ""in shen-
eral l hat some sympaties NIT dot SUPREME

One of the most lavish features of "A very

The Woman Decorator.

The woman decorator has come TO stay.
There are good reasons for her success, the
first of which Is her intuitive sense of color
and quick appreciation of what is good.
With her aptitude for details and with her
ability To manage several lines of work at
one and the same time, she is enabled to
combine utility with beauty. Counting
the cost ut the start is another of her rec
concentrations. You do not need to give
her carte blanche, but you can give her the
highest figure beyond which you will not
go, and she will be- just rs painstaking in
her efforts Show her the room of which
you have despaired, and, with her knowl-
edge of materials and furnishings, she
will soon accomplish wonderful trans
formation. 1t is the woman decorator who
looks at the old fashioned brick mantel
and makes it "a thing Of beauty by the adj
dition of wrought iron trimmings, which
are really very inexpensive This is much
better than tearing down the old mantel
and replacing it with a modern cabinet
affair, for the result Is more unique. 1t
Is the woman decorator who helps popular
lie the stuffs of homely origin and furni-
ture of simple design. Above all, 1t Is
the woman decorator who contrives an air
of coy comfort even In the midst of grand
surroundings -Philadelphia Times.

Candied NioIets.

A recipe for the daintiest of all confeo-
toner's sugary trifles is given here. II the
directions are carefully followed, these
preserved blooms will rival those to be OBJ
tained In any of the French bonbon shops
and the cost will be very much less
Take half pound of violets, and after
picking off the stems lay them for five
minutes In ice water, after which spread
them on a napkin to dry. Put pound Of
granulated loaf sugar with half pint of
water into an enameled saucepan and boil
1t until soft and thick. Remove the pan
from the fire, stir In the violets and set
the pan aside until next day. Then put
the saucepan again on the fire, let the con-
tents boil, and then again set the pan
aside for "a hours. Next day again repeat
the process, and then drain off the sirup
which must then be boiled again with an
added cupful of sugar. When 1t hardens,
stir In the violets, and again boil until the
strip begins to grain. The whole Is then
poured on sheets Of white paper, the vio-
lets carefully separated, and when dry and
cold picked out Of the sugar and boxed.
Violets prepared in this way will be pro-
nounced food for the gods by all who
sample them. New York Commercial

Barrels.

They really are the most useful articles
I'm the household repertory. Among 80
ways of utilizing them here Is one:
Fasten in the lower barrel head secure
ly. Take out the upper one to allow "A shelf
TO be fastened in the middle, which should
follow the line of the barrel, excepting on
one side, where the circle must be squared.
When this shelf is securely set in, fasten
the second barrel head back again and
tighten all the hoops Now saw out gen
erous sized door I'm the center Of the barrel.
When 10 opens, the shelf with its square
side should stand across the middle Of the
opening Put hinges on the door, and
then YOU have "A comfortable little pantry
for cottage use, or, If washstands are not
plentiful, this invention will serve admi-
rably as one If draped 50 that the barrel
shape alone is visible. A Turkish towel,
or, better yet, toweling cut In a circle,
will cover the barrel top nicely and protect

Nurses Who Can Read Aloud.

In an address to trained nurses at the
nurses home In connection with the
Brooklyn hospital DR. Mary Putnam ia
cobb spoke Of one accomplishment which a
nurse should have and of which nothing
was ever said, and that was the ability to
read aloud. "A gentle, pleasantly INFECT
cd voice, "A clear and distinct articulation,
the intelligent rendering of the matter
read, have "A soothing effect upon the most
irritable nerves. she said. The liability
to fatigue varies inversely with the quality
of the reading. The ability to read aloud
was much to be desired accomplishment,
she said, and the duty of obtaining this
ability correlative. There are many people
who would not DC able To hire IA companion
in addition To nurse DIR. jacob added,
and of the two, nurse who could read
md one who could not, she believed the
former would always receive the preference.
