Photographic Popularity in Paris.


One of the leading Photographic
agents in Paris has given some curious
information about the sale of portraits
of notable persons. Cleo de Merode,
ballet dancer of the opera, holds the
record. Her portraits are ordered from
all parts of the world, and ten thousand
of them leave Paris annually. Madame
Bernhardt's photos only attain two
thirds of the figure reached by De Mer
ode. Next follow in comparative order
La Belle Otero Duvernoy Rejane, and
Jane Hading. Germans, Russians, and
Americans are said to be the chief pur-
chasers. The Frenchman, according to
old Boileau. does not buy photographs
if he can help it. Negus Of Abyssinia
holds the record for men. The next to
him in popularity among photograph
purchasers are the King of Greece and
his family, the German Emperor, the
Gar, and President Faure. OF politi-
clans or statesmen NJ. Hanotaux aD-
pears to command most attention If
literary celebrities Pierre Lott comes
first, chiefly. perhaps, on account of the
Arab costume in which he is generally
draped in his portraits. After him ap-
pears NJ. Zola. 800 of whose portraits
are annually sent out of Paris to diff

she was there about ten minutes be-
fore. He was building a kite. Much
to Spencer's surprise likewise that of
his several brothers and sisters, the
kite sailed heavenward at the first
attempt as though it were thing OF
life.
Since that he has built kite after
kite and has not made a failure once
He has more orders than he can fill
and they come from boys living in all
parts of the city He makes only the
framework. The purchasers must fur
nish and put on the cover. Spencer's s
kites made for his own amusement are
of the largest size He uses but two
pieces of wood. the tips of which are
covered with tin and a strong wire
passes around the circumference of the
frame over this his mother or one
of his sisters sews a cloth covering
Spencer never runs with his kites. He
simply places them fiat on the ground,
walks off twenty or thirty PAGES, gives
the rope a sudden jerk, the kite lifts
up and sails majestically off When
he attaches a parachute with a kitten
or other animal in the basket Spencer
has some boy hold the kite
a few days ago he placed a rooster
in a basket attached to the main
string by which the kite was anchored
TO the reel with pulley. After the
kite had sailed SO high it appeared
only as a mere speck, though the kite
was as large as the floor space of the
average editors sanctum, Spencer
pulled his string and the basket came
down better than a two-minute clip.
The rooster underwent quite a shock
when the reel was reached, but he re-
covered and is to-day the proudest
cock in the neighborhood. One day
Spencer sent up q chicken 5000 feet
and let it come down with the kite;
the fowl was dazed and bleeding at its
bill, the atmosphere at 5000 feet above
the surface proving too much for it.
Spencer is a tender hearted youth, and
since then has not sent any animal SO
high.
Not an accident has attended Spen-
GERS parachute experiments so far as
he has been able to learn. The para

In kite building Spencer is a prodigy.

Respect for law and order has been
strengthened, love of free institutions
cherished and all sections of our beloved
country brought into closer bonds of fra
ternal regard and generous cooperation.
For these great benefits it is our duty to
praise the Lord in a spirit of humility
and gratitude and to offer up to Him our
most earnest supplications.

Ebensburg Mountainoer.

Ebensburg Mountainoer
On Sunday morning of last week, about
o'clock, the peaceful slumbers of Mr..
Harry Jones, who resides on the John A.
Jones farm, in Cambria township, not
more than one-fourth of mile from the
Ebensburg borough line, were disturbed
by a racket on his back porch, and, think
ing that his calves had broken out, he
dreamily resolved TO go and chase them
out of the yard. So down he went, and,
opening the door, stepped out and was
confronted by a large black bear, which
Immediately made for the gate, where it
got tangled up in the chain and had a
hard time getting through.
Harry was, 20 say the least, consider
ably astonished and startled at the un-
expected spparition which confronted
him, and didn't think of his Winchester
rifieuntil the bear had disappeared, which
of course, was in about a jiffy, or he
might have shot him. But under such
circumstances who wouldn't be some
what absent-minded?
