Tailor Measurements by Photography.

Tailor Measurements by Photography.
A new method of measuring for tail
ors has been patented in Paris. The
person to be measured is placed before
the camera, and between them is intro
duced a network that it photographed
at the same time and serves as a stand
ard. Certain articles are necessary to
obtain a complete result; thus, certain
hidden parts, like the armpits, etc,
must be indicated by objects visible
from without, and, finally, several
views must be taken from various
standpOints. The subject is also fitted
with sort Of harness which indicates
points of comparison. These points
may, however, be marked directly on
the person instead. The relative posi-
tions of the camera, the network, and
the subject are carefully adjusted SC
that the subject appears always on thu
same scale, and then the photograph il
taken from the various necessary
standpOints.-St. James's Gazette.

CORN AND POLITICS.

One by one the notables of the ma
tional capital return from their vaca-
tions, with broad smiles and long
stories of increased Republican pros
perity and prestige in their districts.
Last week Secretary Wilson returned,
not from a vacation but on business
trip connected with the department of
agriculture.
Discussing the outlook in general
way, he said the political situation
was encouraging, there was good
reason for predicting Republican sue
cess, although he added that he had
learned far more from the newspapers
than from personal observation. He
expressed great qualification at the
excellent corn crop which he said was
not record breaker but very satisfac-
tory and he believed would result in
reducing the price of beef. He ex-
pressed some apprehension, however,
as to the effects of the cold snap
which had just been reported from
Omaha and feared it would result in a
considerable amount of soft and
shrunken corn.
AS a politician Secretary Wilson is
not particularly conspicuous, but as
chief of the department of agricul-
ture he is one of the most pains tax
ing, thoroughly interested men con.
nected with the work. He prefers q
discussion of crops to political
argument, every time. Quite Otter
newspaper correspondents while in
terviewing Secretary Wilson upor
affairs akin to politics find him quiet
ly evading their questions, and it il
generally conceded that as fountain
of political news he is failure. Al

MCKINLEY MEMORIAL.

Throughout the length of the land
Sunday was a day of mourning in
America, it being the first anniversary
of the death of President Mckinley. In
Washington the evidence of genuine
sorrow was perhaps more marked
than in many other large cities.
Washington claimed the dead Presi-
dent as a citizen, from his long resi-
dence there, and, aside from Canton,
doubtless the observance of the day
was carried out more fully in the CAPT
tai than elsewhere.
In all the Roman Catholic churches
prayers were offered for the repose of
the soul of the late President, and in
the Protestant churches fitting memo
rial services were held. These services
seemed to arouse increased anxiety
for President Roosevelt, whose fear
lessness often occasions no little worry
to those to whom his safety is confid-
ed. The secret service men say they
never knew a man so difficult to
shadow. Always impuisive, he never
cares about having them with him
and is liable to slip away every time
they turn their heads.

PETTY NEGLIGENCE.

The average American disdains to
recognize such commonplace admo
nitions as keep off the grass beware
of the dog" mo trespassing" avoid
danger wait until the car stops" or
rather he contemns them, as is shown
by the police court records of almost
every city in the country. Not that
Americans are nation Of lawbreakers
do they fail to heed admonition, but
it is because they are "too busy to
go around so they "cut cross lots. "
They never stop too consider the sign
that warns them that it is dangerous
to come in contact with neighbor's
dog. This characteristic negligence
upon the part of the average Ameri-
can does more than its share to main
tain such institut ions as city courts;
in large municipalities hardly day
passes without a fine being levied
upon some careless individual who
either wishes to test the constitution
ality of the law or don't care"
This "don't CARE element causes
quite bulk of woe in a years time,
if one will take the trouble to keep a
record of every case resulting from
this cause which comes to his atten-
ton. More or less of the neighbor-
hood disagreements grow out of this
"don't care" way of looking at
things. In this connection it is proper
to call parents attention to the action
, of their children toward neighbors
and neighbors children. A wilful
urchin and stone constitute pro-
position which any well ordered
housewife does not care to come up
against in her back yard, especially
when her Angora is indulging in
siesta there Should the urchin by
mischance break window in his en-
deavor to disturb pussy's slumbers let
not that child's mother rebuff the
testimony of the woman who saw 1t
with her Town eyes, and attempt tc
close the incident with, 81 don't
care, 4" The average mortal Will
make YOU care and there is posi-
bility that your boy may be invited
to tarry for few years in an indus

lions; they are not far-fetched eX
amples, large or small, serious o
trivial, are recorded on the annals o

AMATEUR CROOKS.

The numerous breaks which have
occurred in this city during the past
few weeks. and the method adopted
IN nearly every instance to gain ad-
mittance, tend to bear out the theory
formed by those investigating the sew
eral affairs, that it was the work Of
amateurs. Discussing these breaks
some may say, Ii was only the work
of boys This may be true but the
boys had better be watched bit
more closely. 10 be sure the State
has made provision for gratuitous
board at Windsor, or Rutland, or Yer
gennes for those who invite the CON
ditions, but does Montpelier care to
furnish group of portraits for that
hall of fame?
People may believe that these
breaks, and other instances Of petty
thieving, are not the work of pro

what we eat and drink. The disease
is acquired only by the germs being
taken into the stomach, and boiling
or cooking kills the germ. We eat no
fresh vegetables or fruit, but confine
ourselves to things that have to be
cooked and to water that has been
boiled and filtered. The danger of
buying fresh vegetables in the mar
ket is that they have been handled by
Filipinos, upon whose hands the
germs may be. Great numbers of
kinds of native food are not allowed
to be sold in the market at all, be-
cause of the danger, and considerable
hardship is inflicted upon the native
population thereby still, the death
rate is very much reduced. The chol-
era has affected our customs receipts
to a degree, because ships do not come
here so readily and because the gener-
al transaction of business has been
somwhat interfered with by quaran-
tine regulations Still we collect
more each month on an average,
for the customs dues than is collect
ed at the port of San Francisco. Ma
Mia is one of the great ports of the
United States.
Recently there has been a great in.
crease in the daily count of cholera
cases in the city; IS cases yesterday,
and over 100 today. The cause of the
increase is not known, but there are
fears that the germs have found their
way into our source of municipal
water, as at Hamburg some years
since.

This matter of making fast records
for ocean steamships looks nice on
paper, but do newspaper readers ever
stop to think of the amount of human
energy that is expended to clip off a
few minutes from the running time
of a 3, 000-mile ocean voyage? Is the
game worth the candle: Another
feature of this ocean speeding is the
likelihood of running down a sister
