Favorite Subject for Photography.

Perhaps no celestial body has been
photographed so many times as the
moon. At Lick Observatory the "mau
In the moon" sits for his picture many
times during the year. Jupiter and
Saturn are also frequent subjects, and
no day passes in which some sun-spot
does not leave its celestial autograph
on the sensitive plate. Many astro-
nomical discoveries have been made
through photography, the greatest OF
them being the discovery, by Professor
Draper, of oxygen in the sun. The
applications of photography are so
many and so varied that whole vol
ume of the St. Nicholas would be re-
quired to describe them; for there Is
no department of knowledge in which
it has been so extensively used, and
none to which it has been so universal
ly helpful

Mrs. Pinkham has done much to make
women strong. She has Civen advice
to many that has shown them how to
guard against disease and retain vigor-
GUS health in old age. From every cor

ing the most convincing statements
from women, showing the efficacy of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com,
pound in overcoming female ills. Here
is letter from Mrs. j. c. Orms, of 22O
Horner St., Johnstown, Pa, which is
earnest and straight to the point:
DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM-I feel it my
duty to tell all suffering women that
think your remedies are wonderful. l
had trouble with my head, dizzy spells
and hot flashes. Feet and hands We're
cold, was very nervous, could not sleep
well, had kidney trouble, pain in
ovaries and congestion of the womb.
Since taking your remedies i am better
every way My head trouble is all
gone, have no pain in ovaries, and am
cured of womb trouble. 1 can eat and
sleep well and am gaining in flesh. 1
consider your medicine the best to be
had for female troubles"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
eLce in treating female ills is unparal-
lelled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as hundred Thousand ailing
women during single year.

The first amateur pictures on dry
plates were made something after the
method employed by Charles Lambs
celebrated Ch:naman in obtaining
roast pig. The Chinaman burned his
house to roast his pig; the amateur
tore his camera to pieces to get his
picture. The first hand camera was
a pateboard box containing one plate.
A pinhole served as lens, and after
the exposure of the plate the box was
taken to the dark room, cut open,
and the plate extracted. This was
rather expensive picture-making, and
1t was not long before magazine ca
mera was invented; and suddenly all
the world began taking pictures. The
date of the invention of the dry-plate
dates back scarcely eighteen years;
but in that short time the growth and
application of photography have been
so remarkable that it can be compared
to nothing more aptly than to the
amazing development of the genie
which the unlucky fisherman released
from the jar. In 1880 the outlay for
Photographic material was, in round
numbers, $4,000. Ten years later it
amounted to $2,500,O0O. During the
first-named year perhaps one hundred
and fifty persons were employed in its
manufacture. Today one single firm
has fifteen hundred employees. This
firm alone manufactures in week so
much sensitive film that, If made into

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is

known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish 10 impress upon
all the Importance of Purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co.
only, knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FoRNIA FIG SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of it's remedy. 1t is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
