Phillips Brooks was the one celebri
ty who did not wish his photograph
put out for sale. "You may sell
them to the Harvard students, but to
no one elsc," was his command.
Possibly this was one Of the reasons
why "crimson's men" SO reverenced
him. Bot tho students were not
true to their trust. They could not
resist tho coaxing Of friends who
wanted q portrait of the great pas
Dor Of Trinity to rest upon their
mantelpieces.
There are two rules which must DO
Invariably followed in order to make
a strong and true photograph. First,
the photographer must understand
tho face of his subject; second, he
must know how to pose that face so
as to bring out its striking qualities.
Sometimes striking view is caught
in glance; again it requires a quar-
ter Of an hour.

There Is 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 and
stopped at the palace in Athens. The
king made an appointment with him
for ON early walk. DR.. Russell nae

an hour, Mr. Russell, said the king,

An act Of parliament that was
passed in tho 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 a penalty Of 4 shil.
hngs, being shilling for each oath.
The defendant admitted his guilt and
at the request Of the chairman the
clerk explained the provisions Of the
act, which imposes a penalty OF !
shilling per oath when uttered by
laborer, 2 shillings when the offender
is above laborer and under the de-
gree of a gentleman, and S shillings
when spoken by any one above the
degree Of a gentleman
1t was also explained that the con
sequences are the same whether the
oaths arc uttered by person on his
own premises or in the public streets,
The bench fined the defendant 4 shil-
lings and l3 shiilings costs, and init
mated that they intended to suppress
the use of bad language in the public
streets as far as they possibly could.

How the Sultan's Food Is Prepared.


The food for tho 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 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 it. This
is to guard against poison. The sultan
never uses plate, He rarely uses a
knife or fork-a spoon, his bread, a
pancake or fingers arc far handler.

The late John Hope of Edinburgh
was Q men Of many peculiarities.
He had a peculiar horror Of boys
smoking in the streets. Whenever
he met an urchin with pipe in his
mouth, he would stop and lecture
him on the evils Of smoking. Gen.
orally he finished his homily by pur-
chasing the pipe and destroying it in
the boys presence. This method Of
advancing the cause Of the Anti To
bacco league did not meet with
much success, as the boys usually in
vested the money in now pipes and a

THEIR LITTLE RueE WORKED.

Tho Bride and Groom Came Back and
Shook Out tho Rico.
Arropos of the hue and cry against
rice throwing at weddings, a little
story is told of one of the recent
brides living not many miles from
Brooklinc. Deciding to guard against
this particular form of warfare, one
of the members Of the family had
taken the precaution on the evening
Of the eventful day of locking up the
pantry, and when ut the close OF the
reception the self appointed commit
tee Of ushers and bridesmaids started
on their search for the time honored
article they were confronted by the
insurmountable obstacle Of locked
and barred door.
The best man volunteered to sup.
ply the demand for rice from the
pantry of his own home, which was
only a few rods away, and soon re-
turned, bringing with him all he had
been able to collect This an1rnuni-
ton was divided among the little
army of besiegers, who then gath
cred at the foot of the stairs and bid
ed their time.
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
nook and Granny Of their clothing.
Some Of the moro adventurous spir-
it's rushed after them into the dark
ness, throwing tho last handfuls Of
rice that renieeined in through the
carriage windows.
Pleased with their success, they 70
turned to the house and were pict,1r-
ing to themselves the sensation that
the rice bedecked couple would make
at the hotel for which they were des.
tined, when suddenly carriage was
heard to drive up to tho door, the
bride and bridegroom entered and
disappeared into one Of tho empty
rooms before tho astonished group
could realize what had happened. A
few minutes later they again
emerged, serene and smiling, and
freed from all evidence of the late
fray, and proceeded leisurely to take
their second departure, while the
now empty handed and discounted
guests were fain to own themselves
fairly outwitted by this clever ruse
on the part Of the enemy.-Doston

SPANISH ARMY OF INVASION.
Wild scheme Being Hatched by thu
DOns in Mexico.

Mexico City, April 1.-THE correspon-
dent of the Associated Press called to-
night on minister of war, General Ber-
riozabel, who says that so far from in
creasing the troops on the border. there
are fewer soldiers on the Rio Grande
than for some months. Troops have been
moved about lately and that probably
gave rise to rumors of increased military
operations. The minister Of war showed
great interest in the war news, and he
requested to be kept fully informed on
everything.
Many hot-headed and impetuous resi-
dent Spaniards fully believe that If they
were allowed to enlist a few regiments
among their own countrymen and invade
Texas, the southern states would well
come them and begin a rebellion against
the federal government, and that the
southern leaders would agree to give
Mexico back her territory, lost in the
var of the American invasion.
Some time ago at a dinner at a Spanish
club in this city. it is reported that this
quiXotic plan was preached to a general
in the Mexican army. a veteran of sew
eral wars, who tried to reason his span
ish hosts out of.their absurd notion. while
they tried to pursuade him to head a lit
tie army of invasion which they would
form. He fatty refused. but il was boast
ed that the Spanish colony would make a
rear attack on the United States while
war was in progress.
Moderate and sensible SpaniardS here
have discouraged these absurd notions.
but it is impossible to convince a ma
jority of their feHow-countrymen that the
United States would not be quickly whip
the Spanish flag will float over New Or
leans, Mobile. Charleston and Boston.
The lower classes here bitterly hate the
Spaniards, and when war breaks out

resident SpaniardS.
