If you want to see how the
average man makes fool of
himself, accompany him to the
photographers. Watch the
man behind the camera as he
juggles a few screens around
his subject, pushes a cloudy
background behind him, and
you will perceive some kind of
a struggle is going on within.
In many cases to look at the
man you would be led to think
that he had approached a cri-
sis in his life.
But watch him as the opera
tor trains the cold and critical
eye of the lens upon him.
Presto! What a change!
If he is not reduced to a gig
Cling inanity, he instantly
sWells up with self-conscious-
ness, or becomes a blank SUI
perfuity. The lines of genius
fade from his brow, the light
of intelligence disappears
from his eyes, and the charac-
teristic curves of the lips are
gone.
A man makes himself ridic-
ulous, and who is to blame. In
the hands of the photographer
he becomes as a thing of wax,
a mere senGeless object to be
jerked, pushed and showed
about and nodded into a some
thing that is not at all in ac-
cordance with his pre-con-
ceived ideas as to what he
ought to be, or how he ought
to look and pose. If the man
who sits for his portrait would
enter the gallery with mutiny
in his heart and a rebellious
look on his face, he would,
perhaps, not have to wonder
why his portraits make him
look so much at variance with
his real self.
The secret of correct posing,
however, is for a man to enter
gallery not thinking of how
does he look, but to try to pic
ture in his mind how he wants
to look, and the result will
generally please him.
A certain cynic once re-
marked that man is a trinity
of individualities. The first
being how he looks to his
neighbor; the second, how he
tries to appear to them; and
the third, that which he really
! is. 1t seems that the camera
has a strange power in devel-
oping this phase of the human,
and it certainly does it in q
brutally candid fashion. Let
the average man face the lens
of a camera and his usual ex-
preston will leave his face as
quickly as a lobster sheds it's
claws when in a spasm of sud-
den fright. His artificial self

deserts him, and the results
are more or less disastrous to
his self-respect, and to the
feelings Of his friends. This
strange and uncanny power Of
the camera seems to have the
effect of bringing to the sur
face all the hidden idiocy that
turks in the mental makeup of
q man.
In this connection a few
"Don'ts" are in order.
Here are some of them:
Don't smile a painful, sick
ly smile when the operator
asks you to 'Look pleasant,
please" You want to forget
where you are, and have none
b ut the most pleasant
thoughts; for instance, your
best girl, or that increase Of
salary promised you some
time ago.
Don't remember that you
are dressed for the occasion.
This is one Of the hardest OBJ
stacles, but it can be over
come, nevertheless.
Don't try to look like some
body else. Other people know
what they look like, and you
can't get into their class if you
do try.
Don't assume a ''three-quar-
ters" face with ''full face"
eyes, unless you want people
to think that you are cross
eyed.
Don't allow yourself to be
tyrannized by a head rest. If
you think it's use will give you
a double chin or bullying
cheeks, refuse to allow the
operator to use it, and see
that he does not.

The Spendthrikt.

Once upon time there was a spend
thrift who made his father very un-
happy through his profiigate habits.
MY son. said the parent, you
spend every penny that you get, and
it must cease. Remember that the
pennies make shillings and the shil.
lings make pounds. If you do not
change your habits of always spend
ing to habits of iudiciOus saving, will
not spare the rod
The admonition had no good effect on
the youth, and he continued to spend
the pennies before they could accu-
mulate into shillings.
His father spoke no more about the
matter, but he applied the rod most
vigorously to him until he howled with
pain.

Birds In Indian Legends.

All primitive people regard the bird
as specially wise and favored. Living
in the air, he is regarded as exercising
control over atmospheric phenomena.
and. knowing so well his own migra-
tory seasons, the Indians observe his
fights as foreboding ill or good to
themselves. .*
The Hurons believe that the dove
carries the souls Of the departed hence.
The Dakotas say the storm bird dwells
so high as to be out of human vision
and carries a fresh water lake on his
back, so that when he plunles himself
1t rains, when he winks his bright eyes
it lightens, when he flaps his wings
thunder rolls. The Alaskans hold much
the same idea about the thunder

THEY DRINK SEA WATER.
COckatOOs and Wild Pigeons DO Not
Seem fn Mind Ii.


Seem to Mind 1t.
SIN 1881, while resident on Gazelle
peninsula, the northern portion of the
magnificent island of New Britain, in
the south Pacific. l had many oppor-
tunities of witnessing both cockatoos
and wild pigeons drinking salt water.
| was stationed at a place called Ka.
bara, the then 'farthest out trading
station on the whole island. and as |
had but little work to do found
plenty of time TO study bird life in the
vicinity Parrots of several varieties,
all Of beautiful plumage, were Dlenti-
full. and great flocks of white cocka-
toos frequented the rolling, grassy
downs which lay between my home
and the German head station in
Blanche bay. twenty miles distant,
while the heavy frost. of the littoral
was the hSNnt of thousands of pigeons.
These pigeons, though not so large as
the Samoan or eastern Polynesian bird.
formed an agreeable change of diet for
us white traders, and by walking about
fifty yards from ones door half
dozen or more could be shot in as
many minutes.
MY nearest neighbor was a German,
and one day when we were walking
along the beach toward his station
noticed some hundreds Of pigeons fly
down from the forest, settle on the
margin of the water and drink with
apparent enjoyment. The harbor at
this spot being almost landlccked and
the water as smooth as glass and with
out the faintest ripple, the birds were
enabled to drink without wetting their
plumage. My neighbor, who had lived
many years in New Britain, told me
that this drinking of sea water was
common to both cockatoOs and pigeons
alike, and that on some occasions the
cockatoos not only drinking. but bath
ing, and apparently enjoying them
selves greatly During the next six
months, especially when the weather
was calm and rainy, / frequently no.
ticed pigeons and cockatoos come to the
salt water to drink.
''At first thought that as fresh
wafer IN many places DuDDled up
through the sand at low tide the birds
were not really drinking the sea water,
but by watching closely [ distinctly
saw them walk across these tiny run
nels without making any attempt to
drink. Then, too. the whole of the
Gazelle peninsula is cut up by count
less streams of water and rain falls
throughout the year as rule. What
causes this unusual habit of drinking
sea water? Another popularity Of the
New Britain and New Ireland pigeon
is it's fondness for the chilli pepper
berry. During three months of the
year, when these berries are ripe, the
birds crops are full of them, and often
their flesh is so pungent and smells so
strongly of the chilli as to be quite un-
eatable. chambers Journal.

FATE OF HtNDoo GIRLS.
Nepaul RajDOOts Cause Their DRugha
ters to Be Murdered.

ters to Be Murdered.
A Capuchin monk engaged in mis-
sionary work In Nepaul, writing Of
Hindoo family life, remarks that it is
very difficult for parents to make ad-
yantageous matches for their daugh-
ters. The Hindoos therefore find a
means of Kidding themselves of too
many daughters by numbering them.
1t is well known fact that Hindoos
OF hiGh birth, those who are called
rajpoots. caused their daughters to be
put to death after their birth by men
specially engaged to do so. This Grim
inal custom had become SO general
that in 1910 i'll the seventy-three vii
lagos of the Allahabad district there
were only three girls under twelve
years of age. and three years later in
the town of Agra there was not one
to he found under that age. All had
been put to death.
The English government has very
naturally passed severe laws against
this abominable crime, but to evade
them the Hindoos allow their girls TO
live until the age of twelve, after
which they do away with them by ad-
ministering poison in small doses.
Orientals are past masters in the art
of poisoning, and after some minute
inquiries it transpires that in many
districts twenty-five out of every hun
dred girls have been got rid OF in this
manner. Those girls who have been
spared they marry very early, gener-
ally between fourteen and fifteen
years, and that not according to their
own choice, but by the will of their
parents. which is decisive.
An Indian family of good rank
could not keep an unmarried daugh-
ter. 1t would not only be public
shame, but also crime against reli-
gion. To procure husbands for those
who have not already found them
there are number of Brahmans, old
and decrepit. called Kuhn Brahmans,
who go about with the one object of
going through the ceremony of the
"seven steps" with as many young
girls as they can upon receipt of a
large sum of money, but who after
ward leave the country and perhaps
never see them again-Pall Mall Ca

TO ENFORCE GAME LAW.
State Fish and Game Warden G. 4
Lincoln After VioIators,


Ottumwa sportsmen who contem-
plate a hunting trip in quest of the
cc.oo..cd prairie chicken would do well
to study up on the Iowa game laws
before starting on their expeditions.
The birds are protected by stringent
law in this and adjoining states, and
George A. Lincoln, state fish and came
warden, is exercising every pre- lion
he can that will afford prote to
the birds and has instructed the same
wardens in the various parts of the
state to prosecute for the barest vio-
lations of the law and the regulations
governing their killing. He believes
that prairie chickens above all oJhef
game birds should be afforded protec-
ton. Years ago the prairie chicken
covered the broad acres of Iowa in
large numbers but like the buffalo
they were wantonly destroyed and
are now in danger of becoming extinct
unless every protection of the law is
thrown about them. If the hunters
are only fair with the prairie chicken
it will continue to thrive for many
years and afford sport in proper sea-
sons of the year. 1t is certain that
the law will be enforced in Iowa. 1t
says that it is unlawful for any one
person to kill more than twenty-five
birds in one day. Section 2555 of the
code, which reads as follows, will be
interesting at this time:
No person, company or corpora
ton shall at any time ship, take or
carry out of the state any of the birds,
but it shall be lawful for any person
to ship to any person within this state
any game birds. not to exceed one doz-
en- in one day, during the season when
the killing of such birds is not prohib-
tied: but he shall first make an affida-
Wit before some person authorized tc
administer oath, that said birds have
not been unlawfully killed, bought
