PHOTOGRAP PING LIGHTNING

A little series of lightning pictures
is always most interesting adjunct
to comprehensive collection of anna
teur photographs. There is more
fascination and excitement in chasing
one elusive lightning flash than there
is in going after hundred ordinary
pictures.
Don't start out expecting to get
dozen good lightning negatives out of
dozen plates. No matter how expert
you are, if you get one really fine
result from dozen plates you will be
doing extremely we'll.
The camera should be set up and
focused at hundred feet, the posi-
ton being one which commands a
good clear view of the sky. What
this will be every storm must tell you
for itself. The best lightning effects
are gotten as the storm is leaving
your point of vantage, not when it is
approaching. Stand at an open win
dow and see that the rain does not
strike the camera. Catching the flash
is a good deal liks trying to catch
bird by the old salt ION tail method.
You haven't the slightest idea as to
the direction in which the flash is to
appear, SO the only thing to do is to
choose moment when you think it is
about time for another flash and then
open the camera. 1t is perfectly prop
er to keep the camera open and wait
if conditions are not such that vagrant
flashes of lightning will fog without
impressing the plate.
In addition to the actual jagged
lightning flash, which is, of course,
the most curious feature of such pic
ture, lightning pictures often yield
beautiful cloud effects. I saw one just
the other day that exceeded in beauty
any day cloud effect I ever saw.

Fiddle Butt StenIers.

There Is a reason why the Adiron-
dack forest fires should become more
destructive each succeeding year. Most
of the timber there is spruce. While
spruce is used for various purposes it
it valued chiefly as material for the
manufacture of sounding boards for
all kinds of musical instruments.
That part of the spruce tree which
is free from branches, extending to
from 20 to 80 feet above the ground,
is known as a fiddle butt. AS there are
no branches in that part of the trunk
there are no knots, and when the lum-
Der is sawed il presents a smooth sur
face, an essential in the making OF
sounding boards.
The stealing of fiddle butts is carried
on as Il regular industry by hundreds
of men who own small farms on the
outer edges of the forests. These men
go into the woods in winter and cut
down thousands of great spruce trees.
They take from each tree only the
base log, which they sell at the nearest
Sawmill, allowing the remainder of the
tree to lie where it falls. The branch
es become dry as finder in time, and
when a fire is started by a careless
hunter or woodsman they furnish an
abundance of fuel for the spread of
the conf1a gration.
Many efforts have been made to pun
ish the fiddle butt stealers, but it is a
fact that no jury has ever been got to-
gether that would bring in a verdict of
guilty. It is claimed, with much evil
dence of truth, that jury has never
been selected in that section that did
not have a fiddle butt stealer among
its Philadelphia Record.

IngersOII and Delaware.

1.-The late Colonel Ingersoll had but
little use for the state of Delaware"
said Mr. E. V. Turner of Wilmington
His aversion had it's origin in
statement made by Chief Justice Jo-
seph z. COmegys, now deceased. Some
years ago Ingsrsoll delivered in Will
mingtOn one of his most scatching lee
lures against Christianity. It's delivery
stirred up the preachers and the reli-
giOus people nightly, and the chief
Justice, who was a man Of deep piety
made public statement that if the
great agnOstic came there any more he
would arrest and try him for bias
phemy. The justice also called the at
tentiOn of the grand jury to the lee
lures.
''IngersOu was, of course, ready with
his retOrt when he heard of what the
jurist had said. He stigmatized Della
ware as a state that had but three
counties at low water and only one at
high tide; that it was inhabited chiefly
by oysters and CLAIMS, whose only rea-
son for not migrating was that they
had no legs. But, all the same Colonel
Bob didn't come to our town to lee
ture again. Washington Post.

Becoming q British Subject.

1t is an easy thing to become a Brit
ish subject. All that an alien has to do
is to declare his intention to reside
within the British dominions on leav-
ing his own country, and forthwith he
takes out his naturalization papers, is
sued to him by the secretary of state
upon his taking the oath of allegiance.
These papers invest him with the
rights and privileges of Britisher, ex-
cept that he is barred from becoming
a privy councillor or a member of par
lament and also barred from accepting
office under the crown. But if an alien
be naturalized by special act of par
lament passed for his own benefit
then he becomes as much a British
subject and has all the rights and
privileges as though a native

THIRTEEN MISTAKES.

Somebody has tabulated for an Eng
lish paper what it calls the "thirteen
mistakes of life," and if you feel like
taking little food for serious thought,
you could not do better than to give
them attention. If you do not feel
inclined that way now, put them
away until you do. Here they are:
1. 1t is mistake to set up our own
standard of right and wrong, and
judge people accordingly.
2. To measure the enjoyment of
others by our own.
3. To expect uniformity of opinion
in this world.
4. To look for judgment and expe-
rience in youth.
5. To endeavor to mold all DISPOSE
tions alike.
6. To look for perfection in our
own actions.
z. To worry ourselves and others
with what cannot be remedied.
s. Not to yield to immaterial mat
ters.
9. Not to alleviate, as far as lies in
our power, all that needs alienation.
10. Not to make allowance for the
infirmities of others.
II. To consider everything impos
sible that we cannot do.
u. To believe only what our finite
minds can grasp.
ID. To expect to be able to under
stand everything.

WASHINGTON ASA SENTINEL.

William Perrine gives a graphic
picture of Washington's memorable
winter of suffering at Valley Forge
in the Ladies' Home Journal. "Sen
tinels pacing in the snow on
the outposts took off their caps and
stood in them to save their feet from
| freezing," he writes. "Here and
there could be found even officers in
sort of dressing gown mode of old
wooden bed covers. The stout heart
ed women of New Jersey sent their
quilted clothes as Christmas presents,
with the patriotic jest that as women
were said sometimes to wear the
trousers, so now there would be an
excuse for men who might wear the
petticoats.
washington, who never eXagger-
ated, said that few men had more than
one shirt, many only half one, and
some none at all. Nearly 5000 men
were barefooted, and occasionally
might be seen a soldier who was all
but naked. Sometimes there was
nothing to eat in the camp but rotten
sailed behring's. Men were known to
snatch at the dough of half baked
cakes in the kitchens of the farmers
wives. The contractors and the COM
missary agents and theE continental
congress had brought $4,000 men to
the verge of starvation, and the blood
of General Wayne ran hot with rage
as he looked on poor fellows, weak
with hunger. Indeed there was but
one horn tumbler and also but one
wooden dish for every mess.
Washington himself dined one day
on potatoes and hickory nuts. My
good man. he said to the sentinel in
front of his headquarters, pacing up
and down in the bitterness of a cold
morning, have you had anything to
eat?' No, sir was the reply. Give
me your musket, then, and go inside
and get some breakfast And the
tall commander gravely walked up and
down as guard over his own house."

No WOnd He Fled.

a TALL solemn looking young man
entered the restaurant with q mild,
apologize air and seated himself at
a vacant table near the middle of the
room. 1t was evident that he dreaded
to intrude. He wanted to get as far
away from other people as posi-
Die. He even blushed painfully when
he gave his order, and the most casual
observer could have told that he was
bashfuI.
Just as his dinner was brought to him
a buXom looking woman with seven
small children entered the place. The
head waiter swept the field with his
eye, bounced down upon the table
where the young man had sought soli-
tude, motiOned to the mother, who
clucked to the chickens, and a mo-
ment later they were all around that
one table.
That young mans face was a serial
story.
Other people entered the restaurant,
glanced at the group, smiled signifi-
cantly, and seated themselves.

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the largest sale of
any medicine in the civilized world. Your
mothers and grandmothers thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or Biliousness.
Doctors were scarce, and they seldom heard of
Appendicitis, Nervous Prostitution or Heart
Failure, etc, They used August Flower to clean
out the system and stop fermentation of und-
gested food, regulate the action of the liver,
stimulate the nervous and organic action of the
SYSTEM and that is all they they took when feeling
dull and bad with headaches and other aches. You
only need few doses OF Green's August Flower
in liquid form, to make you satisfied there is
nothing serious the matter with you. Sample

THANKSGIVING ALL THE YEAR.

Once year there comes day
In the chill November weather
When from near and far away
Loving kindred meet together.
Round the old hearthstone they meet,
Young and old, in union tender,
To renew theiregreetings sweet
And their mutual love to render.
Thanks are given that once again
They whom distance separated,
With their hearts all free from pain,
Gather there with hearts elated.
Yet through all the changing year
We for giving thanks have reason
For the blessings that appear,
That we find in every season.
Thanks for shelter from the storm,
Thanks because no ills confound us,
Thanks for hearts that e'er are warm,
Thanks for loving friends around us,
Thanks for health that day by day
With fresh pleasure ones attended,
Thanks for sorrow passed away,
Thanks for troubles that are ended.
So, for blessing we receive,
Making our lives worth the living,
Every day of joy we live
Should be to US thanksgiving.

w. G. T. u. COLUMN.
AIMS OF THE DEPA RTMENT.

The chief aim of this department is
to reach the people with the teach
ings of eminent physicians, who op-
pose the medical use of alcohol be-
cause they believe it binders rather
than helps recovery, knowing that
when information on this subject is
widespread, alcoholic prescriptions
will be refused increasingly, and then
those of the medical profession who
lag behind in the great temperance
march will have to "step up" or
"step out"
A second object is to win our medi-
cal advisers, who arc not now nom
alcoholic, to an interest in the scien-
tific study of the alcoholic question.
1t has been wisely said that, ''The key
to the temperance reform is in the
hands of the physician"
The following are some reasons why
the W. G. T. U. should take hold of
the department of non alcoholic med
ication vigorously:
1. AS long as alcohol is used as
medicine SO long will there be drunk
ards.
2. The prescription of alcohol by
physicians and it's sale in drug stores
lends responsibility to traffic other
wise Infamous.
3. One of the greatest difficulties
in the enforcement of prohibitory
laws is the allowance made for the
medicinal sale of liquors.
4. In all no. license and prohibitory
amendment campaigns the cry of
''useful as medicine" is the hardest
for our workers to meet.
5. 1t has been shown conclusively
by the experiences of the non lco-
holic hospitals and sanitariums, as
we'll as in the practice of many sue
cessful physicians, that disease is
much more readily subdued without
than with alcohol.
6. Death rates are much smaller
under non alcoholic than alcoholic
treatment.
Z. Prominent non alcoholic phySi-
clans are teaching that the common
belief in alcohol as remedy is simply
a delusion resulting from the nerve
deadening nature of the drug, and
that the use of alcohol medically is as
unscientific as was the blood letting
of days gone by.
s. Doctors who use alcohol are
sometimes the bitterest foes of our
Scientific Temperance instruction
Laws.
8. There never will be national
prohibition of the manufacture and
sale of Intoxicating liquor until the
people learn that alcohol as a medi-
cine has precisely as evil effects upon
the body as has alcohol used for
beverage.
10. Many of our own me mbership
need the information which it is the
province of this department to dis
seminate, and, from lack of knowl-
edge in this direction, some are really
hindrances to that temperance cause !
for which they are laboring hard on
some lines.

"The American church gives So

sible for the position we take on this
question. "Let your light so shine

to the conclusion that smoking is

paupering our working men, and rem
dering comparatively useless the best
efforts of ministers of religion. The
proverbia1 drunkenness of our coun-
trymen can only be arrested by laying
the axe at the root of the superinduc-
ing cause, the thirst creating power
