the light down upon the sitter. Over
this is put cover of black cloth, that
the light may not come through and
strie the lens of the camera.
White and black paper will answer
as well as cloth. The camera must be
placed high enough on the tripod or
the hood be brought down low enough
so that no light from the upper sash
may fall upon the camera lens. If the
camera is placed directly in front Of
the window, the cloth covering the
lower sash will form the background Of
the portrait. If the sitter sits with his
side toward the window, background
should be hung from the side Of the
hood, coming down behind the sitter.
II at any time the light Is too strong.
a square of white muslin can be pinned
across the base Of the hood above the
head of the sitter. This will dinuse
the light somewhat and temper It.
With these suggestions the amateur
ought to be able by experimenting to
reach a successful method of portrait
taking in his own house. Some expert
menting is necessary, since In no two
houses are the conditions Of light and
windows exactly the same.-Webb
Donneu, In the Household.
The so-called sensitometer number Of
dry plates Is a delusion. Why plate
makers keep it up Is one Of the things
photographers cannot explain. One
firm uses 26 as indicating about the ex-
treme of rapidity, another has go, and
there is third with 40. What does 1t
all amount to, anyway? Dry plates take
on rapidity with age, and plate that
is medium" when new will be chain
lightning. or whatever else you want
to call it, after it has been kept long
enough. Some Of the makers of the
best plates are dropping the numbering
and giving a name to distinguish the
slower from the extremely rapid. That
is all right and answers all purposes.
A scratch on the negative can be I'LL
ed with Canada balsam thinned down
with chloroform, SO that it will print all
right, as the refractive index Of balsam
is about the same as glass.
Dust out your holders and rub over
the sides carefully. Wipe OF the plates
also before loading. The sprinkle Of
fine holes often found on the negative
Is caused by dust

Both Dolly and are rather nervous,

aunt, who is most observant old lady,
noticed that we were as far apart as
the room allowed us to be as soon as
she had come in.
"Heyday! What's all this?" she cried,
interestedly. "The beginning Of another

THE FUGITIVE.

A hunted thing, through copse and wood
Night after night he skulked and
crawled.
To where, amid dark homesteads, stood
One gloomy garden locked and walled.
He paused in fear each step he took,
And waited till the moon was gone;
Then stole in by the little brook
That still laughed down the terraced
lawn.
And up the well-known path he crept,
And through the tangled briars tore;
And he, while they who sought him slept,
Saw his ancestral home once more.
There song and lights were still astir,
And by her he could see one stand,
(And he had Jared so far to herd
Who spoke with her and took her hand.
Then back by copse and wood he crept
While yet the dawn was cold and dim;
And while in her white room she slept,
Twas his old hound crawled back with
him.
