GIRLS WHO POSE
New York Models Are Frequently
Used by Photographers.

The army Of models in New York-girls
who pose for their living-is growing larger
day by day. The average price that the
painter pays his model Is 80 cents an hour.
But, Of course, there ars exceptions When a
particular girl is needed for a particular
piece OF work she receives a special price.
For example Clara Betz, a we'll known New
York model, who has been pronounced a per-
feet woman with the exception that one foot
is one-thirty second OF an inch too short,
has received as much as S25 a sitting.
Within the past few years new field has
opened for the girl who poses. She no longer
acts exclusively as inspiration for the painter
or sculptor. She is a camera subject as we'll
Now that the big newspapers and magazines
are so profusely illustrated with half-tone
pictures. the clever model finds much work
to do in posing for the photographer.
She pietorially displays the newest fashions
She shows, by pictures. the fat woman how
to get thin. and the thin woman how to get
fat. She poses for photographers to illustrate
a serial story; she gives picture-lessons in
etiquette, and she helps to make more en-
phatic and attractive the words Of the ad-
vertsing writer. In fact, there is no limit
to work OF this sort that she can get If her
face and form are pleasing, and she has at
least preliminary knowledge of the art Of
posing.

WASHING DISHES
Few Kitchens Are Provided With
the Proper NecesaIties.

There are very few housekeepers who would
admit that they did not know how to wash
dishes, yet there are comparatively few
kitchens properly provided with dish towels,
dishcloths dish mop, soap shaker and the
proper array Of dishpans to wash and wipe
dishes, to say nothing of the scrapers wire
dishcloths and other paraphernaia for wash
Ing pots and kettles. These articles do not
cost much, so that 1t is carelessness, not
economy, which prevents a kitchen being
properly provided in this matter. A dish mop
costs cents, a soap shaker about the same
amount. A good scraper for pots and pans
and wire dishcloth each costs 10 cents. Ex-
cellent dishcloths may be made OF heavy
linen crash. which soon becomes softened by

Receiver Smith interviewed.

New York, June 3O.-An expert ac-
countant is al work on the books of
Henry Marquand & Co., for the pur-
pose of finding out the extent of their
liabilities and assets. Frank Sullivan
Smith, the receiver, said that in all
probability no schedule could be filed
or any statement made for several
days yet.
Mr., Smith declined to make an esti-
mate of the assets and liabilities of
the firm, saying that he was not yet
in a position to do so. When asked
in regard to a report to the effect
that the liabilities would reach S.
100000. he said that he did not be-
lieye they would come anywhere near
such a figure.
"As far as the loans of the firm are
concerned" said Mr.. Smith," the cred

of securities. The securities of the
firm on those accounts are much bet
ter than | expected. They could all
be realized ON without loss to-mor-

MAILS BAR LIGHTNING BUGS.
Box Containing Two COcOyas from
Southern Mexico Held by POST
master Coyne NJ Chicago.

Live bugs, reptiles and animals are
barred from the United States mails,
but in particular this ban is directed
against "firebugs." The latest en-
forcement of this rule followed
somewhat amusing incident at the
post Office. A small cardboard box
was received in the mails at Chicago
a few days ago. The side was pune
tured with numerous small holes, and
through these a watchful clerk de-
tected a soft, phosphorescent light.
Visions of a dynamite stick passed
through the clerks mind, and, in fear
of having his head blown off, he car
ried the box with care to the superin-
tendent of the city division.
The package was turned over to a
young woman clerk, who bravely
pulled off the string and took off
two black bugs fell in her lap there
was scream and fight. Then it was
seen that each of the bugs had two
glowing spots on it's head. A bril-
liant light shone from each of these,
dying out at intervals. The addressee
was notified that the box was unmail-
able and he would have to call for the
bugs. 1t was learned that he was a
professor living at Prairie du Chen,
Wis.
He wrote Postmaster Coyne that
the so-called lightning bugs" are
noneXplosive and perfectly harmless;
that they are natives of the southern
part of Mexico and are of the 'genus
cocoyas." Mr.. Coyne tool. the pro-
fessor's word for this, but he said il
was enough for him that the bugs
were alive and carried fire. They
were marked "unmailable" and held
for the sender.

the Mexican government has declined

ton of Marshall II. Saville, the assist

to one of all the specimens of which
there were duplicates.
There were many other antiquities
which Mr.. Saville purchased, and
these were left at Mexico City pend
ing the granting of permission to
take them out of the country.
Mr.. Savile said when interviewed;
"Why the Mexican government
should do this l am at loss to I'M

ter has exceeded his authority, for

WEEKLY CROP REVIEW.
The Mark Lane Express Weekly Re
view of the East Indian and
European Crop Outlook.

London, July 2.-The Mark Lane
Express, in its weekly review of the
crop situation, says:
"The official report giving the
yield of the East Indian wheat crop
as 30,926,000 quarters should mean
that nearly G,OOO 0oO will be available
for export, but as the granadries are
completely depleted, it is not likely
that more than 100000 will be ex-
ported"
Summarizing the continental posi-
ton, the Mark Lane Express says il
expects over the average wheat yield
in Russia. Spain and Servia, an av-
erage yield in Italy, Austria Hungary.
Roumania and the Netherlands, and
below the average yield in Germany,
Poland and Scandinavia.
The feature Of the maize trade con-
tinues to be the spirited competition
of Roumani6, Bulgaria and Turkey
with the United States and Argentina.
