A Man of Straw.

From time immemorial straw, prob ably because of its inseparable connec- ton with bread, the staff of life, has had a more or less sacred significance. Our Aryan forefathers strewed their al- tars with it and swore on it as we swear on the Bible. It is easy to under stand how this practice would lead to the stalk of corn being used as the sym bol of binding contract. For instance, the Latin for a stalk is stipulatio, whence naturally comes stipulation. !"
 In medieval times the presentation of a stalk of corn was sign of service and faith. So, too, at hiring fairs in later times servants wishing to be hired carried a straw in their mouths. And in the days when interruptions persons de- liberately hired themselves out to liti- gants to give any evidence that was wanted, they wore straws in their shoes, from which custom we have the saying ''man of straw"-a person of no mate rial or moral worth. The horse with straw plaited in his mane and tail is perhaps the last surviving instance of the significance of straw as implying or binding contract.

Women and Portraits.


 Tt is curious fact, said an expert sn.nd New Orleans photographer, "that 1t isn't the handsomest women who make the handsomest pictures. Why is it? Well, beauty nearly always owes her charm to something beyond the reach of the lens-to her complexion, her hair or the vivacity of her expres- sion. Very few such women have regu. lar features, and when they are repro duced in plain black and white they are at great disadvantage. Their photo graphs are generally unsatisfactory and are really not correct as iikenesses. On the other hand, wom6n who is re- garded as homely may have singularly perfect lines. but attracts no attention through lack of color and animation.
 "I'll cite you a queer instance: A dozen or so years ago Maude Brans- combe was the most popular model in the Upited States for photographic art studids.' Her best pose was as a nun, and her pictured face was strikingly beautiful. Thousands upon thousands of people have raved over her loyeliness, but the real Miss Rranscombe, whom I had the pleasure of knowing, was de. mure, pale little woman who would never in the world attract the slightest attention in crowd. Without a doubt she was passed unnoticed by many a person who treasured her portrait as a marvel. ."-New Orleans Times-Demo- craf
