RhotOgraphing the Baby.

A young photographer, when asked
what sort Of subjects presented the
greatest difficulties to him, replied
without a moments hesitation, "Ba-
bles. 1 don't mean the babies them
Selves" he added. at is not so hard
to get what l consider satisfactory
negatives of them. It's the relatives
that make all the trouble.
For instance" he continued, 81
took photographs of a little ten-month-
old fellow the other day in six differ
ent positions. Yesterday l sent proofs
to his mother, and today she brought
them in.
I'm sorry she said, without any
obvious grief, but none of these mega
tives will do
"'Not one of the six?' l inquired,
though l was prepared for what was to
follow.
"'No.' she said, I'm afraid not. You
see, l like this one very well, though,
Of course, it doesn't do the baby JUS
tice; but his aunt Ellen says it's an
absolute caricature of the dear little
fellow. The one she likes l don't care
Tor at all, and his papa says he should
never know for whom it was intended;
it looks so cross, and baby is such a
sunshiny child.
1.-THE one he likes, this smiling one,
I shouldn't consider for a moment, for
1t makes baby's mouth look 80 much
larger than it really is.
His grandmother chose that one,
but as Cousin Fanny said, there's a
very queer look in the child's Eyes in
livery queer! However, she likes
that one where he's almost crying, that
sober one. You ought to have heaIA
baby's grandfather when she said she
liked 1t.
"He really decided the thing, fol-
what he said seemed so sensible. He
asked me why 1 didn't have some more
taken, and see If there wouldn't be al
least one that would look like baby
Now, when can he sit again? til
hard for me to spare the time, but yor
see it is the only thing to be done."-

Where He Fell Down.
He had faced ten thousand foemen in
the fray,
He had braved the widest terrors Of
the sea;
No danger ever made him turn away,
For never was a drawer man than
lie;
Where cannon doomed and blood in
=. rivers ran
His calmness Of demeanor never
fled;
But he rose to make a speech, the
foolish man,
And in a trice completely lost his
head.
He never 1inched when face to face
with death,
The greatest danger never chilled
his heart
Or even made him draw a quicker
breath
A score Of times he played a hero's
part;
When called upon to face a deadly
breach
He rushed to act without a sign OF
dread;
But once he rose and tried to make a
speech
And quickly and completely lost his
head.

A CLEVER TRICK.
TO Cut an Apple Without Cutting she
HkIn.

Skin
To cut an apple into two or more
pieces without also dividing the skin
seems an impossible feat, but that it
can be performed with comparative
ease anybody following the directions
here given wi. testify. Apples are SO
common a fruit that they figure on
svery well-organized dinner table, and
the little trick, when performed as an
after dinner feat, is really quite star
Ting. An apple with a firm, smooth
skin should be selected. Take a long,
slender darning needle and thread it
with silk or cotton. Linen thread Is
perhaps the best, as 1t Is not so liable
to break. Begin at the stem and take
a long stitch under the skin of the
apple, being careful not to 90 so deep
that the point of the needle does not
readily emerge. Take another stitch
in the same direction, sewing right
around the apple, exactly as you would
cut it in half. When the thread comes
out again near the stem, take the two
ends in each hand, cross them and pull
steadily. The thread will, OF course,
cut the apple in two, leaving no mark
ON the skin. and without breaking II
beyond the tiny holes made by the
needle. which are quite invisible. BY
repeating the performance n different
parts of the apple 1t may be cut into
arters and eighths. and CT being
peeled will fall into these sections.

The travelcr who visits Colorado for the
first time is surprised and impressed with
the opportunities the state affords in agri-
cultural pursuits. The mineral wealth Of
the state, with its many famous mines,
seems to have become fixod in the minds of
strangers, crowding out all knowledge of
her wonderfully fertile soil. Little thought
is ever given to the 2,G0e miles of irrig.~
cation canals that have been constructed,
and the z, 1000, 900 acres OF land which havA
thus far been made productive. Yet, ous
out OF 81 exhibits from Colorado at tina
worlds fair. eighty-one special premiuw'
were awarded, covering all kinds Of fruit
and produce. The wheat exhibit attracted
wide attention, and twenty-five awards
were given it alone, the largest number
received by any one state in the Union.
The fruit industry has reached $4,000, coo q
year and is yet in its infancy. Sugar beet
culture is a profitable industry. The min
eral wealth Of the state, which leads all
other states In the Union In the output OF
gold and silver, does not compare with her
agricultural wealth, A handsome and pro
iusely illustrated pamphlet, entitled THE
Fertile Lands Of Colorado" has just been
issued by the passenger department of the
Denver g. Rio Grande railway, and gives
detailed information of the lands and their
location, and may be had upon application
to S. X. Hooper, general passenger agent,

washing Day In Madrid.

Ten thousand women souse and beat
the linen of Madrid in the scant waters
Of the Manzanarss every day. Not an
article of clothing is elsewhere washed.
No other than these ManZanares Law
enderas are permitted to labor as laun-
dresses, and for three miles up and
down the stream they work in groups.
Each lavendera brings her own huge
roll OF bread, and perhaps a bit OF
cheese; and just before Don they
breakfast in great wooden sheds on
salt fish. potatoes and coffee. with a
measure of red wine, duplicating this
meal as a dinner at four in the after
noon. They eat like animals, and the
moment their food is disposed Of the
tinkle OF the guitar is heard, and any
kindly disposed passer may dance with
them until the thirty minutes allowed
them for food and amusement have ex-
pired. On these occasions everyone
dances. girls of IS and of 80,
and the scenes along Manzanares are
very picturesque and interesting.

An Australian Puzzle Solved.

A traveller in Australia, Mr.. ]. Gar
nier, has lately solved a problem that
has puzzled many people who know
the country and the natives. 1t has
been a difficulty to foreigners to I'M
derstand how the natives of some parts
of the island-continent live without
water, for there seems to be no nat
vral supply. The general explanation
has been that they had to depend upon
the water that collects once or twice a
year in the hollows OF rocks. AS the
water there found seemed quite mad
equate, the explanation was unsatis-
factory. Mr.. GARNER questioned pros
pectors, and negroes that knew a little
English, but o of them could throw
any light on the subject. At last a
missionary put him in communication
with a native who was able to ex-
plain the mystery. He told the travel
err of the existence in that country OF
a tree the roots of which were impreg-
mated with fresh water. These roots
spread out near the surface OF the
ground, and can be easily prised ~
with a pointed stick. From theme 80
natives ATTAIN their supply of water.
They carry the roots along with them
on a journey, and in very dry seasons
camp in the regions where the trees
are most abundant. Although this
tree grows in rocky places, It's leaves
are extremely green. The wood is soft
compared with that Of other trees OF
the country. 1t bears large greenish
flowers, the fruit Of the size Of a small
wild cherry. The important part Of
the tree, however, is its root. The root
consists Of a succession Of nodosities
sometimes of the size of a large ear Of
corn. The blacks first drink the water

The Chinook.

The Chinook.
There comes to my heart this morning
On the western breeze's wing
The chant OF the crazy chinook,
The drunken demon of spring:
MY home is the broad Pacific; q
But youth cannot bide at home,
l spread my wings for a frolic
And flew DER the oceans foam.
II kissed the tops of the ranges
And severed the Ice Kings chain;
l whispered of pleasant valleys
And the waters Weakened again.
81 raced them down the mountains,
Barring boulders aside we'd fling;
I called to the sleeping s~treamlets,
Come, dance with the devil of spring.!
They came with a rush and gurgle.
They came with a leap and dash.
With the roar of distant thunder,
With the speed of the lightning flash.
Down we raced through the gorges,
Melting the ice and snow,
And filled to its overlooking
The Yellowstone below.
The river Itself grew drunken,
Mac with chinook champagne:
1t burst the bridges man builded-
Though steel, they were rent in twain
1T played with the sleeping children
They will never waken more;
1t tossed strong men on its pillows
And left them. still, on the shore.
There's nothing that can withstand us
AS abroad together we fly,
Abroad on our springtime frolic,
The snow Of the hills and L.
For l I'm the harlequin chinook,
And. tho soft as the zephyr's wing,
When | kiss the mountain ranges
I'm the mischlevous imp OF spring"

The railroad expert believes that the
number of revenue IONS hauled per
mile is the best indication of a rail-
roads ability to handle traffic at the
loves. cost of transportation. AS is
well known, the receivers Of the Bal
timore & Ohio Railroad have been
spending millions on Improvements
and have not completed the work, the
lines west of the Ohio river being in
need of a general rehabilitation, which
tbey are to get this year. But the
revenue haul per mile in 1898 was
increased to 3l4 ions and a special re-
