traits, which require d good deal of eX- perence and technical knowledge. In the gallery of an artist one usually finds that the studio is provided with a skylight The amateur is rarely able to command one. However, in q recent issue "The Mechanic Arts Magazine' made some excellent suggestions on this point.
 It was recommended that an ordi- nary side window be shaded up to height of about five feet from the floor by means of book binders board. This can be cut to fit the window casing h front of the binders board should be hung cambric. of whatever hue gray or black is preferred for a background. Some subjects require light one and some dark one. Hence the material should be hung in such a way that 1t can be changed readily. In order to get good supply of light from above refecting screen is provided. It should consist of white cloth-a sheet, for instance. Beginning at distance of eighteen inches from the side wall, one edge of the sheet should be fast ened to the ceiling. The lower edge of the cloth should be Stffened with strip of wood, like sail. Then the screen ought to be inclined away from the window at an angle of about 45 degrees. Another screen, hung from the ceiling or mounted on feet at one side of the sitter, out of range of the camera, will assist in lighting one side of the face more than the other in full face picture and in Illuminating the face for a profile view. The mag azne here referred to goes on to say:
 Where the photograph Is to be full-length figure or n three-quarter full length, care must be exercised that the upper part of the subject is not more strongly lighted than the draperies nearer the floor. It is well. on this ac- count to spread on the floor a white sheet or number of newspapers. so that the light may be reflected upward against the lower part of the figure.
 Where person has light curly or fluffy hair it is best to illuminate the hair brilliantly by setting the top screen about as shown in the ilustra- ton and then arrange the side screen to reflect light on the face in an up- ward direction. so that as far as possi- ble its stronger shadows may be soft ened and too much contrast prevented"

4 CUBAN RAILWAY.
Differs in Many Respects from Roads
 in the United ktates

Differs in Many Respects from Roads
 in the United etates
 When one wishes to leave Havana by rail to see something of the real Cuba say, to take a trip to Pnar del Rio or to Cienfuegos-he must get up very early. The through trains leave at 6 o'clock in the morning. 1 asked the chief engineer of the railroad to Pinar del Rio why so early start was made for town only 1Os miles away, and he said 1t was so as to get back the same day.
 The American traveller is not only likely to grumble when he Is compelled to hurry to the station in the thick gloom of the early morning, but when he reaches the station and finds that he must pay about 5 cents a mile in gold, and from to cents a mile in Spanish silver, to ride in the back breaking cars known as frst-class car. riages, and that for an ordinary trunk he must pay about half fare, he is in- clined to scoff at the primitive mode of travel, and to long for the luxury of even stage-coach journeying on a Western mountain road. The amazing amount of computation by the ticket agent before he sells a ticket, the smoky lamps, the three preliminary tootings by the engine before the train starts, the final ringing of bell by the baggage-master as a signal that the train really is going, the crowded con- dition of the aisles, choked with lug gage for which the passengers do not care to pay toll, and every man in the train, from the conductor down to the barefooted brakemen, smoking tobacco of varying degrees of excellence-all this Is likely to weary the American traveller used to the luxury of Pullman cars. A few hard jolts bring up to the imagination the prospect of a miser- able trip, and one Is inclined at the very outset to rail at the crudities of travel by cars in the island of Cuba. Franklin Matthews, in Harper's Weekly.

 We were married at noon, and after dodging the customary rice and old shoes, left for the station. We had barely time to catch our train. and rushed up to the ticket window at once. Then, oIce more. we had to run the gauntlet of friends, who think 1t smart to throw rice down ones collar and nave it sift down into ones shoes.
 I've got aboard at last. and when the train started heaved sigh of relief. When the conductor came around for the tickets handed mine over. After looking at 1t for moment. he asked me If the lady was travelling with me.

which is said to afford the animal relief. The shoes are made recessed at the ends for the purpose of receiving broad rubber heels, which not only take up the force of the blow as the foot strikes the ground, but also acts as protec- ton for the frog of the foot, which is exceedingly sensitive. The rubber blocks are interchangeable and are held firm ly in place by means of pin passing through the shoe.
