INTERESTING PICTURES.

We have pleasure IN recording
the fact that Miss Gertrude Fuller
the attractive and talented young
lady who is spending the winter IN
Hillsboro, and who, as we have be-
fore observed IN these columns, IL
interested in the artistic possibili.
ties OF amateur photography, has
just completed some noteworthy
work in that line,
Her study entitled I'm Flood
Time" contains all the qualities
necessary TO a fine picture. The
rushing waters OF the Rio Perchs
present unusual difficulties for
photography on account of the
rapidity OF exposure necessary; (;
but, with remarkable skill, our fair
artist has succeeded in producing a
most effective result.
The composition. balance and
lighting ESPECIALLY The lichting)
are excellent, and all combine TO
give true pictorial value to this
exquisite bit Of work.
Miss Fuller's "Snow Storm" is
another fine example Of technical
skill, and striking Illustration of
the difference between mere pho
tograph and a picture. II is n
beautiful subject, delicately ren.
dered, and one Of those pictures
the beauties of which become more
and more apparent the longer they
are studied.
In lighter vein. but OF great
interest, are her "snap shots OF
Characteristic scenes during tie
barbecue last Monday; and some
OF our dlgnifed citizens might be
surprised, il not amused, to see
how faithfully her kodak has
caught and perpeiuated their fleet
ing expressions and graceful atti-
tudes on that memorable occasion.
An old miner says I'll see many
accounts of accidents to miners
from picking out missed shots. 1t

holes, II loaded In the following
manner: lamp 10 first powder;

then put in cap and fuse; put

House OF Commons Debate.

In some respects, but not in all, the
English house of commons Is like our
house OF representatives. There are GER
tain formalities however which would
seem strange to American legislators In
1.-The Commons at Work, in Temple Bar,
the method of big parliamentary discus.
sion Is described
"A big debate often lasts fortnight
that Is to say, 1t is carried on during tho
Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fri
days of two weeks, the Wednesdays being
usually devoted to the consideration of
bills introduced by unofficial members.
The order in which the leading members
Of the government and of the opposition
speak is previously arranged by the whips
of the different parties, and the speaker,
being Informed privately Of the under
standing, calls on these members In the
order appointed, no matter how many
small men may at the same time strive to
catch his eye. A member of the opposi-
tion always follows in debate member of
the government. The opening of sitting
and toward Its close, or before and after
the dinner hour-that Is, from till z
o'clock and from 10 till l2-are considered
the best and most favorable times for
speaking. 1t Is during these periods of
the sitting that the big guns on each
side are brought into action Under the
rules of the house all opposed business
must cease at IL O'Clock, and the member
who at that hour moves the adjournment
of the debate has the right to open 1t the
next evening. II a member of the govern
ment speaks last at night, the adjourn
ment of the debate Is moved by an oppo.
nent of the government, and, vice versa, II
q member of the opposition concludes his
speech at midnight, a supporter of the ad-
ministration secures the advantage Of re-
suming the debate on the following even

Tho Clay Eaters.

In several localities in the south. In the
mountainous regions Of Georgia, South
Carolina and North Carolina In partion
lar, there are families, or even whole com.
munities, that use clay az a part Of their
regular diet. In northern Alabama lin
Winston county, there is bed Of this Pc
,culiar edible clay, and, Of course, CON-
munity Of clay eaters. This queer clay is
of ghastly white color, Of an oily nature
and, according to chemical analysis, It
has extraordinary nutritive property. II
considered only as variety of earth.
Persons who have visited the clay eat
ing communities say that steady diet Of
this white, oily earth has q tendency to
turn the skin a pale olive green. Some
medical writer's claim that this deathly
pallor is caused by the presence Of large
per cent Of arsenic In the clay's compost
ton, but this can hardly be whom the sta
tistics prove that the clay eaters live as long
as or longer than their meat, grain and
vegetable eating neighbors. The teeth OF
the clay eaters often remain sound and
white beyond the SEVENTEEN year.-St

In the Boston Globe Mr.. william Henry

the senior pastor In all cases included In
the foregoing class should be 40 indicated,
it seems to me that the bishop Of every
mixed parish Is bound to consider also the
fact that tho children born to these foreign
parents In America are Americans-not
Germans or Frenchmcn or what nOt--and
that these children will, by force Of un-
Yielding circumstances, be obliged to make

MAHOGANY.

For Every Tree Cut Two Others Are
Planted to Keep Up the Supply.
1t will undoubtedly be news to many
that the vast mahogany forests Of Mica
ragua are controlled In Boston. The cut
ting and shipping of the immense exports
from that country are great enterprise in
themselves, to say nothing Of bringing 1t
here and manufacturing 1t into lumber.
Employed In Nicaragua and the United
States of Colombia by Mr.. Emory are from
1000 to 800 native workmen and lum-
bermen. These are under American BOSSES
The trees from which mahogany furniture
Is made vary In age and size When cut,
they range in age from 25 to 30 years, and
some of them are even rs years old They
average 90 inches or more in diameter and
run as large as 40 inches, and even more.
For every mahogany tree that is cut two
others are planted, and thus the forests are
practically inexhaustible.
From the time that the tree is felled to
the hour that 1t Is dumped off the steamer
at the Chelsea docks is an eventful life for
the mahogany log. The tree is cut into
the proper lengths, and then comes the
tedious journey to the coast where it is
taken on board the vessels bound for this
done during the dry season, which in the
United States of Colombia begins about
the 1st of December. The natives of this
country seem to make better loggers and
are better adapted t6lum bering than the
Nicaraguans. In Nicaragua the season is
more irregular and for numbering is less to
be depended upon. After the tree is cut 1t
Is hauled to the nearest waterway and raft
ed to the coast. The logs are hauled by
teams of oxen from one to six miles in
Nicaragua, but often the distance is very
much greater, the journey sometimes tax
ing two days The roads consist of paths
through the forest that often are nothing
more than swamps and morasses, through
which the oxen and horses founder along.
Only animals trained to this kind of work
would ever make any progress, and Ameri-
can beasts would wallow about perfectly
helpless. Boston Transcript.

Two Della ware Legislatures.

Dover, Del, Jan. 5.-The Democratic
members of the legislature mustered 19
votes for their house caucus last night,
the absentee being Robert II. Wilson
Of Kent who is sick. The Kent county
members participated. The caucus re-
suited in the selection of Emery Il. Rig
gin for speaker This is a pronounced
defeat for the Salisbury element of the
party and the advocates Of free silver.
The Republicans from Kent and Sussex
who will today be denied admission ID
the house, also named officers at a cau-
Gus held in the Hotel Richardson. They
named speaker, DR.. T. G. Moore; clerk,
Edgar Il. Hastings; reading clerk,
Thomas T.. Brown; sergeant at arms,
Joshua Clayton; chaplain, Rev. r. H..
Adams. The Democratic senators
made overtures to George Fisher Peary.
ore Of the Republican hold d-oyer"
members. offering him the reading clerk
and sergeant-at-arms IL he will par
ticipate in the organization. Peary,
however. wants the speakership or
nothing. He left the Republican caucus
at IL o'clock. He may return, and then
there is a possibility of two legisla-
lures today. Otherwise the outcome is
difficult to conjecture
