HOW 70 Make MONEY
WITH IN AMATEUR CAMERA

An amateur camera is usually re-
garded as an object upon which to
spend money, rather than a means by
which money can be made. But
know more than one bright young girl
who makes her snapshot box pay its
way. and much more beside.
Perhaps the best way of illustrating
what is meant is to detail the success
of a few of these young persons, prefac-
ing the recital with the prOvisO that
one cannot make money-nor have
much pleasure either-with a camera
till one has mastered all the details of
the business
To do we'll as an amateur. or a semi
professional one should be able TO de-
velop, print, mount and handle any
department with professional nicely
and skill.
The first young woman 1 knew who
made money with her camera took, l
must say, a photograph in many ways
superior to any professional work 1
have ever seen.
She was an enthusiast. and she had
the feeling for her work. She had not,
of course, a machine suitable for TAX
ing portraits-heads merely-and, if she
had had. she would not have been able
to retouch such pictures
being the one department it is best for
the amateur not to attempt: but. as
she worked it, the plan did not call for
anything of the sort.
She was, when I saw her, at a noun
tain resort, 20 miles from a lemon, and
fessional photographer.
She had partly paid her board at the
hotel-an expensive one-by taking
views of the buildings and various pic
turesque spots about, to be used for re-
production in an advertising pamphlet.
She spent long. laborious. happy days
getting views of the surrounding seem
erp and pictures of quaint mountain
characters. cabins and characteristic
scenes.
These sold readily among the guests
at the hotel, singly or mounted in al
buns. and with neatly decorated COW
ers, and she told me that she had a
market for them all winter at home
Her best negatives of this sort she said
she could sell, if she would consent not
to use them herself, to various con-
Germs in the large cities who deal in
unmounted photographs. or to photo
engraving establishments, which make
a speciality of getting up Illustrations

Then there were the guests at the
hotel. who were always wanting to be
photographed singly or in groups, with
some landmark as a background, and
these pictures she sold by the dozen.
like professional, and at a specified
rate.
The second girl knew who made
a success with her camera had gone so
far as to hardly rate with the amateurs
at all. She lives in the south, and she
has made a speciality of negro types.
She began taking negro children. found
that on account of the dark skin the
work was quite different from taking
white people, and has gone steadily
forward till she is well known in the
world.
She does not confine herself to comic

up exactly to the crown, there he twists
them softly and makes a simple slip
knot, which leaves an outstanding puff.
Below this the remainder of the coil
is turned into a small figure eight, and
then on this he fastens a six-looped
satin bow, its heart made of a large
colored false jewel.
Below the crown the hair is allowed
to droop in a soft baglike effect and
an abundance of curl bangs about, but
not actually on, the forehead. This is
the coiffure Leutheric, in preparation
for which the hair is ever so slightly

time is spent in the delightful business

friends scattered in the course of the

White Fass Trail Presents Very Sc
rious Difficulties.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Aug. 2S-
Thomas .MaGee Sr., who is en- route to
the Klondike gold fields, writes from
Lake Bennett. 3. c., under date Of
Aug Is, confirming previous reports
of the terrible conditions of the White
Pass trail from Skaguay, and relating
the almost insurmountable difficulties
to be encountered by the gold hunters
who prefer that route to the more for
midable Chilcoot pass route. He and
his party left Skaguay on Aug. 10,
with nine burros, and during the four
and one-half days consumed in max
ing the trip Of forty miles to Lake
Bennett, met with innumerable ad-
ventures Twenty-Five times some of
their pack animals were begged up,
necessitating not only the unpacklng
of each load, but also the lifting Of the
animals bodily from the mire, as the
burros refused to make any attempt to
extricate themselves, when their small
hoofs stuck in marshy ground.
The MaGee party took boat up
from San Francisco in sections. but
was compelled to leave 1t at the beach
at Skaguay, as 1t was utterly impos-
sible to carry it over the trail AT the
head Of Lake Bennett, however, they
found a firm of boat builders who
charged no more for good boats than
would be paid in San Francisco ($140)
They had orders ahead for forty-five
boats, which would occupy them until
Sept 20 at least. Mr. MaGee thinks
the majority of the crowd now at
Skaguay and Dyea will have to aban-
don all hope of getting into the Yukon
country this year and is certain that
the late comers have no chance of do
ing so.

Of London, which rejoices at the al
lance, as being entirely directed
against Germany is well voiced by the
Saturday Review, which says: "The
emperor of Germany has received re-
buff which he will bitterly resent.
There is no doubt the formal alliance
of France and Russia makes 1t hence
forth impossible for him TO be that
arbiter of the destinies of Europe
which he aspires to become. The dual
alliance is at least as powerful as the
triple alliance was formerly. It is no
longer dream"
In France, one curious result Of
President Faure's visit to Russia has
been the creation of Prince Louis Ma
poleon as a new pretender. The French
newspapers are all convinced that there
was a political motive in his refusal
to accept the legion of honor decoration
at the hands of President Faure, al
though the Prince distinctly stated that
his refusal was based on the fact that
he had received from Napoleon II
while still in his cradle, the grand cor
don of that order.
