RedcycIoping Poor Negatives.

An amateur sometimes keeps very poor
negatives because they are of subjects he
cannot easily duplicate. Such negatives
may be much improved and if not toe
poor converted into fairly good negatives
by redcveloping them in old hydrochinon.
Make 10 per cent solution of citric acid
and one of red potassium prussiatc. Make
up a solution of 224 ounces of used hydro
chinon developer, one ounce of the citric
acid solution, ono ounce of the red prus=
slate of potash solution and ga ounces OF
water. The ingredients should be mixed
in the order given.
Place the negative, without washing,
in this solution and develop for from three
to ten minutes, keeping the tray in motion,
rs during development. Handle the plate
with rubber finger tips or with plate
litter. When the negative is redevcloped
enough, fix for three minutes in weak
hypo bath-one ounce hypo to ten Of watoP
and wash for half an hour In running
water. The operation may be repeated if
the negative is not yet satisfactory. This
formula may also be used for intcnsifying
weak negatives.-Harper's Round Table.

With regard to the effects Of gunshots
UPON balloon, the following experiments
Were made: y shot was fired from Lebel
rifle ut Il balloon at an altitude of 500 feet
1t only penetrated tho fabric below the
equator, and no apprcciablG result cnsucd
After this many shots We're fired, several
penetrating the balloon and passing out
near the upper valve. After lapse of six
hours the balloon descended quietly to the
ground by reason of the loss of gas through
the bullet holes. But it appeared that,
whatever the number of shots, the loss of
gas was never sufficient to cause the bal
loon to fall rapidly.
On another occasion shrapnel shell
was fired from 7poundcr Armstrong gun
at a balloon having an altitude of 1,5O0
feet, but this being above the limit of elo-
walton of the gun it was impossible to hit
it. In any case, had it been possible to do
SO, the shell would have penetrated the
balloon below the equator and passed out
again so low down as to cause no serious
loss Of gas. Indeed u balloon loses but
little of its lifting power-that is, little of
its gas-if tho hole Is made below the
equator. Mali Magazine.

Raising the left arm as high rs You
can will relieve choking much more rap.
idly than by being th"lIpcd in the back, "
explained medical man to reporter.
"And it is well that every enc should
know it, for often a person gets chOked
while eating when there is no one near tn
thump him. Frequently lit meals and
when they are at play children get chokcd
while eating, and the customary manner
of relieving them is TO slap them sharply
in tho back. The effect OF this is to set
the obstruction free, so that it can be swat
lowed. The same thing can lie brought
about by raising the left hand Of TIE child
as high as possible, and the relief comes
much more rapidly.
In happenings OF this kind there should
be no alarm, for if u child ices that elder
persons or parents get excited it is Liable
to get so also The best thing 10 da is to
tell the child to raise its left arm, and i'm
mediately the difficulty passes down.

New York.s EARLY Social Life.

writes Euretta Van Worst in The Ladies'
Home Journal ITO be invited to tea
was n very usual and acceptable way of
entertaining. The dinner hour, which
extreme fashion made as late as 3 O'Clock
i'll Difference to foreign tastes was insult
able to men who were pillars of the coun-
try's commerce. The light meal, eaten
from the shining mahogany board, was
considered ample as far as viands went,
and the grace with which the hostess asked
if you would take tea or coffee, sugar ard
cream made those harmless liquids sut!i-
GENTLY delightful.
ITO be asked to spend an evening
meant usually moro formal and less as
sured pleasure. Sitting round n hospitablc
board relaxed stiffness. Whist or IA little
music made very gently and shyly by the
daughters of the family were the regular
sources of entertainment. Refreshments,
handed by neat maids or solcmnly digni-
fled buffers, closed the evenings festivity

and yet eat from them, how to aid the
nearest ladies and at the same timo keep

The proprietor of the hardware store
more than orcc declared he could not get
along without Stevens. Il don't sec how
l ever conducted my business without
him., he would say. "Why, he is a posi-
tive rest to me-"
Stevens heard Of this and was greatly
encouraged He said that at last his life
was about to amount to something. One
day he asked for an advance in salary and
was delighted to note the cheerfulness
with which the proprietor agreed.
One snowy day, day on which the
t1reariness of the outside world makes the
inside world to cheerful, Stevens put down
his pen and turning to n friend who hap
pcncd to be present slowly shook his head
and remarked, Il should think my sue
cess entities me to all the privileges other
men enjoy"
What are you going to do?"'the friend
asked, observing that he was putting on
his coat.

"What sort of rights"
"Thc rights of an American citizen"
but haven't you been enjoying those
rights?''
Not by long shot have been ham,

said Stevens, an ashy determination
spreading over his face The friend called
after him to stop. "Think Of your fam
ilyr' he exclaimed. But Stevens did not
heed him. He walked up to the proprietor,
who sat dreamily beside the stove.
*Mr. Cragmorc, are you busy?" asked
he.
"Oh, not at ALL Sit down."
"Can you give me q moderate bit of
your timer"
Certainly. Help yourself"
"You like my work, am led to infer. "
"Charmed with it, sir
THANK YOU And now l am going to
show my confidence in you. OF course
this may not interest thousands of men
who have grown up since that time, for
younger men always show their lack OF

need your services any longer"
Everybody agreed that 1t was Stevens
own fault. He never had the tact to let
well enough alone. Strange fellow! Fate
must have Uttered in her handkerchief
when he was born. He lived long time;
didn't die until recently. The judge of his
circuit sat beside him, l am told. You
won't leave me- said Stevens.
Not till the end" the judge answered.
"Thank you," said Stevens, fccbly
pressing his hand. eyes, you are my
friend. Bend over"
The judge bent over, and Stevens be-
gan:

Yes, Stevens must have been peculiar

Evidence that colds are infectious is fi;r
