Your forgiveness for many things.

1t IL always SO pleasant to meet old

Obedicntly he put out his slim brown

Shopping In Athena.

In his volume on Modern Athens, .
George Horton says that shopping in
the Greek capital is a more elaborate,
time consuming and minute process
even than with US. THE oriental
method of doing business still prevails.
The dealer sets a price, the buyer an
other, and often three or four hours Of
patient will contest pass before COM
promise is reached The patron asks,
How much is this piece Of silk?' One
dollar yard is the reply. Thirty
cents is offered The merchant is
thrown into something resembling an
apoplectic fit. He swears by his ia
theirs soul that 1t cost 50 cents.
THE lady takes seat with a sigh
and after twenty minutes inquiries in
nocently, Finally, 30 cents?' Never.
But to keep you and not lose your GUS
tom, you may have it for what paid,
% cents. You poor thingY signs the
lady sarcastically. There are dozen
or more women sitting about the store.
When finally the proprietor comes
down to price that one is willing to
pay, she rises, receives her bundle and
departs, declaring good naturally that
she had been swindled and that she
will never come back again."

A young Englishman who had been
repeatedly and unnecessarily annoyed
by the st, Malo custom house officials
made up his mind to get even with
them The last time he had crossed he
had brought a ferret over with him
and a minute or SO before landing he
transferred the creature to black bag,
which he carried with extreme care
and an evident desire not to attract att
tention. This Immediately fetched
one Of the doNaniers. and he swooped
down on it with joyful alacrity.
Our Young E,nglishman pretended not
to understand the official until the
FrenchmaD made his meaning clear hy
unmistakable signs Then he slowly
and reluctantly unlocked the bag The
douanier plunged IN his hand. and but

THE FIRST CAMERA.
1t Was Invented by an Italian In tn
Sixteenth Ceutury

1t Was Invented by an Italian In the
Sixteenth Century.
The Genera was invented by an ItaI-
ian named Baptista Porta, though it
was not at first used Tor photograph
ing. 1t was in reality merely a dark
room. into which the light was admit
ted through little round hole in one
side. The rays of light coming from
objects outSide Of this room entered it
through this aperture and made a pic
ture on the other side of the room glow
ing in all the beauty and color of ma
ture itself, but rather indistinct and
upside down.
This dark room was contrived by Por-
Ia about the middle of the sixteenth
century. He improved it later by plac-
ing a glass lens in the aperture and
outside mirror which received the
rays of light and reflected them through
the lens so that that image upon the
opposite wall within was made much
brighter, more distinct and in a natu-
raj or erect. position. This was really
the first camera obscura, an invention
which is enjoyed to the present day,
being situated often upon a hilltop,
where a picturesque country surround
ing may be reflected through a lens
which is placed in the center of the
conical roof.
Now, our modern Photographic cam
era is merely a small comera obscura
in its simplest form, carrying lens at
one end and a ground glass screen at
the other. 1t is, however, often much
more complicated in its construction.
