Color Photography.

Amateur photographers are now ex-
terimenting extensively with the new
process of color photography. The
nature of the chemicals used is secret,
although the method is very simple.
Over forty shades may be produced
rom the three primary colOrs used.
The Photographic plate is developed in
he usual manner, after the color
liquids are applied. Most Of the col
,red photographs seen heretofore have
peen painted by hand. The new auto
matte process gives much finer results.
Pictures of landscapes and marine
riews are very satisfactory. But the
most striking are those taken of SOL
liers of the French army. Gorgeous
eds, blues, both light and dark, gold
,uttons, and laces show with great
rilliancy. Even precious stones have
een pictured clearly by the new pro-
ess. 1t is so delicate that not only
lesh tints but actual differences in
omplexion show.
Your picture may be taken in all the
olors of nature, giving color of hair,
ives and skin Spring bonnets and
lew gowns may be shown to best adj
rantage. 1t is thought that at last sat-
sfactory photographing of oil paintings
nay be accomplished.

IOud Public Parks,

Some loyal Britisher has decided
hat the city of London needs de-
!ender and comes to the front with the
following claims: Since the year 1889
The city has paid toward the improve
nent of the whole municipality about
$50. 116, 400, or a daily expenditure
# over $4,000. AS for the claim that
he city is stuffy and sadly in need of
reathing space, he insists that, exclu-
i've of private gardens, close upon 25
ser cent of the whole area of the city
b given up to the public for recreation
grounds; thus, within the five-mile
.adius of Charing Cross there are no
less than So ground areas, apart from
The cemeteries, the private grounds
md square gardens, nearly all of them
,xceeding 20 acres in extent.

A New Engine of Death.

Military journals are at present inter-

Is to be veritable carriage of death.
1t is to be driven by 16 horsepower
engine at the rate of 40 miles an hour
over a country reasonably level, and,
Of course, free from fences. 1t has four
broad-tire wheels. But the climax and
purpose of this remarkable machine is
to carry two rapid-fre cannon, ar
ranged on pivots, to sweep the entire
horizon. One man only is needed to
run this terrible wheeled weapon of
war and this same man also attends
TO the firing, loading, etc.

scbrader the Healer Stoned.

St. Louis, June 2.-"Divine" Healer
Shrader was stoned out of Clayton, a
suburb of St. Louis, today, by crowd
of men and boys. AS Shrader was pre-
pairing to take bicycle ride at his
hotel, he was greeted on the corner by
a large and noisy crowd. He attempted
to address the assemblage, and finally
exclaimed: "Those of you who are
opposing me are rejecting God" As
soon as he made this remark, the
crowd closed in on him in threaten
ing manner. fastening to his room,
he gathered what few belongings he
had with him into a bundle, and,
mounting his wheel. turned south from
the courthouse steps, amid showers of
stones. He was struck On the back Of
the neck by a missile, but it apparently
inflicted no injury. It did, however,
accelerate his speed as he rode on
toward the country.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing. Hopkins = Company's Review
Of Trade.

Of Trade.
It was q quiet week in the wheat
market last week. The bulls continue
to have the benefit of the statistics;
the bears Of the speculative dizziness
and of the relative cheapness OF all the
other grains. The crop news was
about equally divided. Complaints
came from abroad. particularly from
France. On the other hand, the adj
vices from the Northwest were exceed
ingly bearish. The extreme South
west had also great deal to say OF an
early harvest. At the opening OF the
week there was considerable shipping
business, and the seaboard did fair
export trade from Monday up to the
Saturday close. Here there was a
lessened demand during the latter half
of the week. The out movement. how
ever. as the result of sales made the
week before, was very large; sufficient
to lead to the expectation of reduc-
ton in the Chicago stock Monday OF
200, 900 bushels. Prices continued to
show "premiums' instead of "carry-
ing charges" the fact unquestionably
which troubled the bears more than
any other. May was lc over July at
the close and July SC over September.
That sort of relationship left no room
for any of the usual philsophizing
about "burdens It was apparent
from the quickness with which shorts
took alarm on any news unfavorable
to them that they recognized that
they were granting all the advantages
at the start.
There will this week probably be
fiaring announcements of harvesting IN
Indian Territory and Texas. 1t will
not be many days before the crowd be-
gins to anticipate the June 10th govern
ment report, which will give the first
announcement as to spring wheat area
and condition. The former will show
large increase and the latter will be
high.

Without dover it would be almost
impossible for girl to be married, and
this form of charity is said to be highly
The annual sum availa-
BILE for this purpose and distributed

to prove her good reputation and char

she has no means available, and that
the young man who wishes to marry
her has trade.
