1t only shows that our foreign representatives

PHOTOGRAPHING A DISPLAYS

It is often very desirable to photo
graph a window display, but tno
tculties attending this process are
well known. Probably eight out OF
every ten pictures exhibited are fall-
ures, by reason OF the annoying ref1ec-
ton in the plate glass front, which the
camera records with persistent &C
curacy. This defect, as we'll as the
splotch of white where an electric
lamp was allowed to burn during the
exposure, is much exaggerated in al
attempted reproduction for purposes
OF publication. One method to pro-
duce a good picture is merely a large
screen to cut off the reflected ina
A commercial photographer of wide
experience and high attainment has,
however, been making experiments of
late in this direction, and gives as the
final result of his investigation the
conclusion that perfect results are al
most invariably secured if very early
hour, about sunrise, be selected, and
the plate given long exposure. AT
such time, when the day is fine and
still, the light comes from the east, low
in the horizon, and the atmosphere
seems also to lossess a peculiar actin
ism of considerable help in producing
a clear, sharp negative. Exchange.

SHERMAN FEARED THE WOMEN
Characteristic Letter Written by the
Famous Old Warrior.

It is not on record that Gen. w. T.
Sherman ever turned his back on the
enemy when the foe was his own sex,
but there is proof that the invincible
soldier was on one occasion forced by
women to retreat. In the letters Of
eminent men, which Senator Justin S.
Morris is now furnishing for publica-
ton, is one from General Sherman,
which is so quaint and characteristic of
a simple, straightforward soldier that
it is worth more than passing notice.
The khedive of Egypt sent present of
some diamonds to General Sherman,
ard when they arrived in this country
Senator Morrill,, the father of the war
tariff, offered a resolution providing
for the free admission of these dia-
monds. General Sherman wrote to
thank him, saying that if it had re-
quired any positive act on his part to
obtain the jewels he would not have
taken it. The general continues:
| beg to thank you in the name of
my daughter, the ultimate beneficiary.
Honestly, I am so conscious of the pos
session of an elephant of the largest
dimensions that my thanks would be
hollow My daughter is married to a
young man who has to scratch hard
for a living. His whole income would
not pay the tax which will be levied on
this bauble, if brought within the state
of Missouri. Therefore, it must re-
main hidden away, subject to expense
and all the chances of robbery and
charges for keeping. 1t is worse in
vestment than the sphinx, for that can
not be stolen or carried away; yet in
the. eyes of women it is the subject OF
envy. Had I dreamed that the khedive
had such a purpose in his mind I would
have frankly notified him, with the full
belief that, as man of sense, he would
have changed his purpose. AS it was,
| sent him word the moment the thing
came to my knowledge and begged him
rot to embarrass me by the possession
of what could not minister to my
honor or pleasure, but my letter must
have reached Cairo too late. If, with
out any agency on my part, these dia-
monds could be restored to their orig
inal hiding place I world so order, but
the fomen folks will hold on, though it
carry them to the bottom of the sea.

HOW HE GOT IT.

Once upon a time there was news
paper man in Canada who was unfor-
tunate enough to be so short of funds
that he owed much money, SO much in
fact that there was hardly legal firm
in the city but held one or several
judgments against him. Said judg-
ments did the newspaper man no
harm, and did the legal men no good,
for there were no funds In time,
however, some of the lawyers began
to work a contra account scheme by
sending ali legal and judicial notices
and mortgage sale ads to his news
paper. The other legal men quickly
followed suit, and now, though all
debts have long since been cancelled,
no other paper IN the city can get a
line of this class Of advertising. Pro

IN SAN FRANCISCO

Some years ago, a small knot of art
lists in an Francisco became offended
at the sheet-iron statue of DR.. Cogs-
we'll, which that dental philanthropist
'ad presented to the city, and which
disfgured the corner of Drumm and
California streets. This dreadful thing
had been presented to the city by DR..
Cogswell. After it had been erected
it remained, to the increasing rage and
anger of the artists. They talked over
its removal many times, and finally one
night, shortly after midnight, they re-
paired to the spot and hauled it down.
The next day the supervisors hauled it
away. The pedestal still remains; but
that will probably soon go also. In
the meantime, the same knot of artists
have become offended by the gigantic
sign of a local firm of ready-made
clothing dealers, who have erected on
one of the magnificent hills adjacent a
long line of letters spelling their firm
name, and which, sharply outlined
against the western sky, affront the
artists and astonish the stranger. On
Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1898-02-07

a recent night, the art-lovers loaded
themselves into cabs and drove over to
the suburbs, climbing the steep hill, in
tent upon making away with this van
dial sign. They took with them axes
and saws, but after they had worked
for two and half hours removing one
of the letters, they concluded that 1t
was too much work for artists
Abandoning their task, they returned
to the city. The net results were the
demolition of one letter and a bill OF
twenty-seven dollars for cab-hlre.

TRICK OF A GIRL.
By Her Intention to Weep she Gets 80
Handkerchiefs.

''It is bright thing to be bright,
isn't it, Nan?" said Bess, on the car.
and was overheard by a. Washington
reporter.
"It undoubtedly is, my dear. But
what called forth that sage remark ?"
do you remember Florence Brown
Of Selma, Kas., who was in our class
at college?"
"Of course I do"
"Well, you know that, although a
very pretty and attractive girl, she is
still unmarried, and lately she wrote
to one Of the girls that she was rapidly
approaching that horrid anniversary,
her 3Oth birthday, and that she intend
ed to celebrate it by indulging in a
'lachrymal below all day. Her friend
was much moved with compassion for
her lorn condition and wrote to 80 of
her classmates that Florence had writ
ten her to that effect; and asked each
one to send her handkerchief to assist
her in the fearful operation. So, owing
to her quick wit, Florence's Goth birth
day, instead of being time of mourn
ing proved a most joyful occasion, for
she received 80 pretty handkerchiefs,
each inclosed in a loving epistle, and it
showed her that her friends loved her
none the less for her thirty years."

spinal sclerosis, and all said he could not
live
For three years he fingered in this con-
dition. Then by some friends he was adj
vised to take Dr. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. He took them and there
was a slight change. The first thing
noted was a tendency to sweat freely.
This showed there was some life left in
his helpless body. Next came little
feeling in his limbs. This extended, fol-
lowed by prickling sensations, until at
last the blood began to course freely,
naturally and vigorously through his
body, and the helplessness gave way to
returning strength. the ability to walk
returned, and he was restored to his old
time health.
