The late Mr.. Sarony, the weh-known

camera something of the freedom Of
the pencil or the brush, and in his hands

this reason he excelled in theatrical 90. :.

him implicit obedience, and when it
failed he refused to take them" any
more. This made even popular actresses
submissive. One of his favorite devices
was to take them by surprise. Are

This, he said. was the highest reach Of
the art-"the true pose is not pose,
but natural position" He was butan
amateur in photography until he lost
the fortune which he had made in bust

originality and his consequent success.

Families Along the Illinois Central
Have No Need for Clocks.
Not all residents of Chicago depend
on clocks to keep themselves informed
of the time of day. 1t is perhaps not
generally known that people who live
along the line of railroads can tell the
exact hour of day or night by the
trains which pass their homes. Along
the line of the Illinois Central railroad,
for instance, there are many homes
where clocks are an unknown luxury
In the vicinity of Thirty-frst street.
for instance, there is a household which
is wide awake at seven o'clock in the
morning, says the Chicago Chronicle.

why. / thought you knew" replied
the other, "211 is the seven o'clock train
which passes the house. AS soon as we
hear the bell on the 211 we all get up.
Then we watch for the other trains. We
can see them pass the house and as we
all are acquainted with the schedule
we can tell the exact time of day. At
night we tell the hour by the bells on
the engines. We are familiar with the
sounds. No, we have no clock in
the house. Never had one as far as |
can remember and we find train time
more reliable than lot of clocks which
cannot be kept in repair"

The SEASONS FASHIONS.

Skirts are very full at the back and
are gathered over cords and drawn
closely, so that the back shows a point

Novelty hats are shown in braids of
every imaginable color. Red is exceed

The decline of the shoulder cape is
said TO be assured. How true this may
be one can scarcely state authoritative

of garment is too useful. and has made
too many friends to be given up very
soon.
Soft belts of silk or velvet are used,
and 10 these some of the rich buckles
are fastened. One of the novelties is a
belt of yellow velvet with three very ele-
giant cut jet buckles, one in front and
one on either side. At the back there
is large rosette bow of leather.

those of oXydized silver te$h Jewels.

FaBtidiOus People Find No COnven-
fences at the Hotels.
In Greece the hotels of the interior
follow one general type-the Italian.
There is no common sitting-room, says
the Atlantic Monthly. Why should
there be? There is no office, but that
does not seem TO interfere with the
presentation of bills. The ground floor
is given up to cafe or restaurant, if
the innkeepr goes into that kind of
business. Very often, however, the
master of the Apollo has only rooms to
let The sleeping apartments on the
floor above are often approached by
an outside stairway. and, as is to be
expected in southern cline, they are
scantily furnished. Overfurnishing is
vice anywhere. Under southern
sky it is a crime of which the Greeks
are not guilty.
There is usually a mirror, though
that tribute to human vanity is some
times lacking, and, like the Turk, the
solitary Turkish towel bears no brother
near his throne. The bedstead is in
variably of iron. AS in primitive United
States within my memory, single rooms
are rare. Two, three, four, five beds
are put in one room or strung along
the corridors. A fastidious person who
desires to occupyaroom alone has to pay
for all the beds therein. In some places
special charges are made for sleeping in
the daytime, and there is fixed rate
for sleeping on the floor.

The great majority of small fresh

Apples supply the higher nerve and

Pine kernels give heat and stay. They
serve as substitute for bread.
Dried figs contain nerve and muscle

Oranges are refreshing and feeding.

Green water-grapes are blood purify
ing (but of little food value); reject
pips and skins.
Blanched almonds give the higher
nerve or brain and muscle food, no heat

Blue grapes are feeding and blood
purifying; too rich for those who suffer
from the liver.
Juicy fruits give more OF less the
higher nerve or brain, and, some few,
muscle food and waste; no heat.
Lemons and tomatoes should not be
used daily in cold weather; they have
a thinning and cooling effect.
All stone fruits are considered to be
injurious for those who suffer from the
liver, and should be used cautiously.
Tomatoes. higher nerve or brain food

Prunes afford the highest nerve or
brain food; supply heat and waste, but
are not muscle-feeding. They should
be avoided by those who suffer from the

This was the way it came to be

hollows, all through the woods, even
on top of the hills, the fog hung heav-
lily. All that time the wind blew stead
lily, but not fercely, from some north

At nightfal the mercury fell below
the freezing point so that this mist,
as it drifted through the trees, was
frozen upon their branches and twigs.

Experiments with Cahharea.

From the Maine station come notes
on experiments. in cabbage culture.
Three varieties were compared to test
the effect of size of seed on the heads.
In two varieties the larger seed was
found to produce much heavier heads
Tying up the outer leaves was found to
have no influence upon the maturity
of the head, as is popularity supposed,
while it caused a marked decrease in
size, and the moisture collecting with
in the leaves almost invariably caused
the heads to decay. Mulching the
plants with swale hay produced heads
slightly larger than were borne by I'M
mulched plants used as checks. But
little effect on the size of the heads was
produced by deep cultivation, but
plants so treated appeared to mature
more uniformly than when shallow cul-
tivation was given.

First clean the surface with pad of
cotton waste and then cover the pad
with cotton velvet charged with fine
rouge. This viii not only remove the
scratches, but will impart brilliancy to

only be clean and clear, but should be
brilliant as well, and brillancy comes
partly from polishing"
