THE MOUTH,

A boy was compelled by the
teacher to write an essay on "the
mouth for some infraction of the
school discipline, and an exchange
says this is what he wrote
''The mouth is the front door to
your face; it is the aperture to the
cold storage of your anatomy.
Some mouths look like peaches and
cream; some look like hole in the
wall to admit new door or win
dow.
"The mouth is hotbed for the
toothache and bunghole for ora
tory. The mouth is a crimson
aisle to our liver, it is patriotisms
fountain and the tool chest for pie.
without the mouth the politi-
clan would be a wanderer on the
face of the earth, and go down to
an unhonored grave.
1T is the grocer's friend, the ora
tors pride, the dentists hope. 1t

some in Jail. 1t is the temptations

phntnpranhv I'm the Courts.

Photography is often called into
court as a witness whose testimony
cannot be impeached. 1t is a detec.
tive of forged or disguised handwriting
for no matter how clever an imitation
or alteration, the eye of the camera
will search out, and the sensitive plate
display, the fraud. A very important
case, in which the entries in a docu-
men5 were in question, led to the
building of what is probably the largest
camera in the world. The bellows
may be extended. twenty-five feet and
is connected with dark room, which
also serves as plate-holder. The lens
seems out of all proportion to the size
of the camera, being but two inches in
diameter; but its magnifying power is
so great that letters one-fourth Of an
in height can be enlarged to seven and
one half feet, and appear in their exact
dimensions and without the slightest
apparent distortion.

Then Sennacherit blasphemed against
