been taught how to raise their feet
properly. The sole Of the boot should
never touch the skirt. nor does the

She Took n peen.

A girl who took up photography last
summer and endeavored to get some
valuable snap shots had bad luck with
her first pictures. There were funny
streaks of white all through them
when there was any picture at all, and
she couldn't imagine how they came
there. Neither could an experienced
amateur who assisted in developing her
first negatives and took the usual pre-.
cautions in loading the camera and
taking the plates. II can't imagine
what is the matter" he said, as plate
after plate came out either good for
nothing or with only little of the
picture visible. ''Those ought to have
been good plates" Neither can To-

smooth and white if that is the way they
ought to look" Looked all right"
exclaimed her instructor in dismay.

put them in the camera, had you?':
ooh, not enough to hurt them," said the
girl; II just lifted up the black paper
from each plate just the littlest crack

temptation of seeing how nice they
looked and think of the lovely pictures
I was going to have on them."-N. Y.

story Of a Jealous Cow,

"A strange piece Of spite on the part
OF COW is reported from Slough, says
the British Dairy Farmer. The animal
belonged to Mr.. johnson, a farmer, and
on valuable horse being driven, into
the farmyard the COW charged at it, and
inflicted such injuries that it died. A
strange feature in the case is that after
thecow had brought the horse down she
appeared to relent, and while the suf-
fering animal lay in the stable under
treatment she was constantly at the
door, and resented any attempt to drive
her off. Mr.. johnson attributes the
cows strange conduct to jealousy, as
the horse was often patted and made
much Of, and the COW was young one
which he had reared himself.
