Mounting Photographic Prints.


One Of the greatest difficulties in
mounting Photographic prints is TO
prevent them from curving when dry;
as this is due to the contraction Of the
print after having been distended by
the water, a paste must be used con-
tanning as little water as possible.
The following formula is rec9ms
mended: Common gelatine, two
parts; water, four parts; alcohol, eight
parts. The alcohol is added slowly
as soon as the gelatine is well dis
solved in the water, and the vessel
turned continually to obtain a homo
geneous mixture. The solution must
be kept hot during the operation, and
should be applied quickly, as it soon
dries; the print must be placed ex-
actly the first time, as it adheres at
once. The solution keeps for a long
time in well corked bottles; when
used 1t is heated on a waterbath.-

The tempting edibles displayed in

Beech Railway Ties.

Experiments are being made in
Germany with beech as a material fol
railway sleepers. 1t has been found
that without preservative treatment
such sleepers are apt to rot internally
though they may be apparently sound
on the exterior. On the Alsace-Lor-
raine lines, favorable results have
been obtained with creosoted beech
sleepers, which have shown an aver
age life Of 1871 years, while Others pre-
served with zinc chloride have proved
still more satisfactory, their life being
,214 years.

FAILURE OF MoNsooNs.
4 |ths Chief Cause Of Famine in Popu.
lous India

- l<no SuicA S&u3o Ol FAMINE IN fOpu-
lous India
India is a country not half so large
- the United States, with four times
Its population. These 300,O00,0OO
people must be fed from their own
crops, as there is, relatively, no manu-
featuring resource to buy food with,
says the Review of Reviews. There
re parts Of India with a population
I 1000 people to the square mile;
Ind there are millions upon millions
Of farm laborers, Migrants, gypsies
and nondescript classes whose means
Of living, even in times of plenty, are
-i&scrutable.
In a normal year the country, as a
whole, produces little more food
than is actually necessary to support
its people. But the crops are depend
ent on the monsoons-the southwest
k'nonsoon in the beginning of summer,
and the northeast monsoon in the win
ter. If these periodic rains are late,
or are insufficient in quantity, trouble
comes, and the spring and winter
crops Of wheat, barley and pulses in
the north, and Of rice and millets in
fbe south, begin to suffer.
When the monsoons fail absolutely
there is restitution in the affected dis
trict, and when persisten succession
of failures and partial failures occurs
there comes great and terrible fam
inc, like that the country Is now
4 groaning under. Since the first great
famine of which there are records
devastated the land In 1770, when TO-
600, 900 persisted in Bengal alone, In
dia has scarcely passed a decade free
from scarcity of grain in one district
or another.
The British government expects a
drought about twice In every nine
years, and great famine like the
: present about twice in a century.

The divorce evil seems to grow with
every year $500 divorces were granted
an the State of Ohio last year. We agree
that there are faults on both sides, but the
great problem is Are those faults remedi-
able ? To great extent there is no doubt
the conditions which result in divorce may
be remedied. Given a dyspeptic husband
and a wife suffering from female trouble
and we have the ready made elements of
divorce case. In view of the facts there
can be very little doubt that many women
look forward to divorce only because they
seek relief from obligations they do not
feel fitted to fulfill. Women are not to
blame. They have looked forward to their
home life a dream of paradise. Then
disease comes like a serpent and destroys
all happiness.
Women who suffer with facilitating
drains, inflammation, liberation, female
trouble and bearing down pains will find
certain relief and cure in Doctor Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. 1t SO invigorates
the organs peculiarly feminine and regn-
letes their functions that they are estab-
lished in a perfectly healthy condition.
The old lghtness OF heart comes back
there's light in the eyes and a smile on the
lips The old irritation and nervousness
are gone, and the husband comes to his
home as a haven of rest and comfort

A large picnic crowd was organized
here Saturday and went seven miles
north to spend the day. The picnic
ground was an ideal place for the pur-
pose, being q deep canyon about 100

the tops of many OF the trees, casting
