FACTS FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS.

What Is rccied among amateurs Is
more study and thought and not SO
many photographs.
Poor slides often make excellent COW
er glasses il they are free from bubbles
and well cleaned. Thus they are not
total losses.
Toning in photography means tint
ing or giving n slight change of color.
1t might just as well be called gliding,
for in the toning bath a thin layer of
gold is deposited on the surface of the
picture.
1t is q point 70 bear in mind in
slidemaking that slides which are just
right for a lantern with oil light are all
wrong for the oxygen jet. Again. those
that are suitable for the latter are not
the finest for the electric light.
1t is rule of photography that
breadths of shade should if possible be
linked together by other accidental
shadows, and the toning bath is some
times manipulated TO put the desired
harmony there. This recalls the old
story of the artist who was asked what
the dog was doing in Lis picture,
why" said he, "he is carrying thl
light and shade through it,"
A marvel in the line Of r~p,' r., =
tography was performed in York
when biograph pictures OF the parade
Of Astor's battery, taken in the after
noon, were shown the same night at
Keith's theater. The pictures. 1000 in
number, were taken in 25 seconds, ten
minutes after four o'clock. They were
sent to Hoboken for development, and
were back at the theater at 9:15
o'clock. This is said TO be the fastest
work Of the kind on record, the best
previous record Of seven hours having
been made in London on the occasion
Of the return OF Gen. Kitchener from

TRANSIENT FAME.
Only the Very Few Live Long In the
Memory of Man-Msny Bitter
DisappOiptments.

The cold fact Is that the great mass of
populations, in literature as elsewhere,
are small affainrs, and transient at that
comets rather than stars, and not es-
pecially brilliant while they remain
above the horizon. Like "our little sys-
TENS" of theology, metaphysics or what
not, "they have their day and cease TO
be-" and while they last they generally
cause less stir than did the little sys-
TENS.
Something was done lately in com.
memoration of Thomas Haynes Bayly
Q797-1s39), "the most popular English
song writer OF his age" after Tom
Moore. His lyrics were known In every
drawing-room so years ago, but how
many in our generation had ever heard
of him? Somebody the other day called
attention TO the fact that Philip James
Bailey, author of the brilliant, IL er-
ratio, "Festus" (1s39), is still living.
This was a surprise 10 the superfiuous
veterans who had read the book and re-
membered Il. Yet these two were in
their time larger figures than most of
our living poets. So perishable and
perfdious thing is fame. The young
writer whose heart swells with inno-
cent joy at beholding his first effusions
in print may fondly fancy himself on
the high road to immortality. He is a
pathetic spectacle 10 his seniors, re-

only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is

this tube gets infamed you have a rumbling

unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con.

Then Pantin and / started off on our
search for the Toison dor.
AS he closed the entrance door be-
hind him carefully and Jacques turned
the key, looked up and down the rue
des Deux Mondes, but there was not a
soul stirring.
All Paris was asleep. Above us the
sky still swarmed with stars, though
pale band of light was girdling the
horizon. Here and there in the heav-
ing mist on the river we saw the feeble
glimmer of lantern that had survived
through the night and still served to
mark the spot where q boat was
moored. All around us the outlines of
the city rose in brown silhouette, but
the golden cross on the spire of Notre
Dame had already caught the dawn,
and blazed like beacon against the
gray of the sky overhead.
We pushed on briskly, and by the
time we had reached ST. Jacques we
were warm enough, despite the chilli
ness of the morning. AT a stall near
the church, and hard by the Pont Notre
Dame, Pantin purchased a quantity of
vegetables, bidding me to keep little
ahead of him in future, and guide him
in this manner as far as knew. Whilst
he was filling his basket turned up

MAITRE PANTIN SELLS CABBAGES

to its last shred, saw the glaze in the
window begin to whiten, and almost
Immediately after heard footsteps on
the landing. This was enough for me,
and unable to be still longer, / sprang
out of bed and hastened to open the
door myself. 1t admitted Jacques, and
a figure in whom l should never have
recognized the notary had l not known
that it could be no other than Pantin.
Jacques bore tray loaded with re-
freshments and Pantin held q lantern,
for it was still dark, in one hand, and
something that looked like the folds of
long cloak hung in the loop of his
arm. The noise of their entrance woke
de Belin. With a muttered exclamation
l did not catch he aroused himself, and
the candles being lit we proceeded TO
make a hasty toilet. AS l drew or my
boots I saw they were yet wet and
muddy, and was about to rate Jacques
when Pantin anticipates: II told him
to let them be so, monsieur-you have
part to play-put this over your left
eye." And with these words he handed
me huge patch. Then in place of my
own hat, found l had to wear frayed
cap of a dark sage-green velvet with a
scarecrow looking white feather stick

my shoulders a long cloak of the same
