A Photocr.ph,+s "Reminiscences.


Phillips Brooks was the one celebrt
~ who did not wish his photograph
put out for sale. "You may sell
them to the Harvard students, but to
no one else" was hts command.
Possibly this was ono Of the reasons
why "crimson's men" 80 reverenced
him. But the students were not
true to their trust. They could not
resist the coaxing Of friends who
wanted a portrait Of the great pas
tor Of Trinity to rest upon their
mantelpieces.
There are two rules which must Be
Invariably followed in order to make
. strong and true photograph. First
the photographer must understand
the face of his subject; second, he
must know how to pose that face 80
as to bring out Its striking qualitiea
Sometimes striking view is caught
In glance, again 1t requires quar-
ter Of an hour.

Sleeping In Gloyea

Thereis an anecdote Of Dr.. Russell,
the famous war correspondent. The
most unenviable position In which he
ever found himself was not in battle,
but In bed. AS the story runs, the
correspondent was on the way to
India with the Prince Of Wales ana
stopped at the palace in Athens. The
king made an appointment with him
for an early walk. DR.. Russell nae.

somebody by my bedside. 1t was the
king, accompanied by his big dog.
It was $50! 1sat up in bed. In half
an hour, Mr.. Russell, said the king,
smiling as he left the room, I shall
come back for you At breakfast
that morning, during a moment Of
silence, the king, addressing the
queen, with 9 sly glance in my direc-

Tho Law Against Profanity.

An act of parliament that was
passed in the reign Of George II for
the suppression Of profanity is still
occasionally brought into force.
Under it the Wisbech magistrates
have Just convicted a man named
Abraham Pye of Walpole, who was
charged with publicly using four pro
fame oaths, for which he had rendered
himself liable to penalty Of 4 shil.
lings, being / shilling for each oath.
The defendant admitted his guilt and
ct the request Of the chairman the
clerk explained the provisions Of tho
act, which imposes penalty Of !
shilling per oath when uttered by
laborer, 3 shillings when tho offender
Is above a laborer and under the do
gree Of a gentleman, and : shillings
when spoken by any one above the
degree Of q gentleman.
It was also explained that the con-
sequences are the same whether the
oaths arc uttered by person on bis
own premises or In the public streets
The bench fined tho defendant 4 shil-
lings and 10 shillings costs, and init
mated that they intended to suppress
tho use Of bad language In the public
streets as far as they possibly could.

How the Sultan's Food Is Prepared.


The food for the sultan Of Turkey
Is cooked by one man and his assist
ants, and no others touch it. 1t Is
cooked In silver vessels, and, when
done, each kettle is sealed by a slip
Of paper and a stamp, and this Is
broken In the presence Of the sultan
by the high chamberlain, who takes
one spoonful from each separate ket-
tie before the sultan tastes 1t. This
Is to guard against poison. The sultan
never uses a plate He rarely uses a
knife or fork-a spoon, his bread, a
pancake OF fingers are far handler.
It requires just twice as many slaves
as there are courses to serve dinner
to him.-W oman's World.
A well dressed man entered jew

Apropos Of the hue and cry against

ton was divided among the little
army Of besiegers, who then gath
Yred at the foot Of the stairs and bid

At last quick steps were heard In
the upper hall somebody called
out, "They're coming" and two fly
ing figures sped down the staircase
and out at the front door, almost
hidden from sight by the thick, white
shower which Immediately enveloped
them, lodging In every available
