The Kodak Developing Machine
will prove invaluable to the out

man, as it Will enable them to see
the results before leaving camp and
find their mistakes before it is too
late to make the pictures over
again. As a consequence of the
prompt development that it makes
possible. the negatives are cleaner
and better than those that any but

method. and all this without the
bother Of darkroom and ruby lamp.
I am surprised at the latitude in ex-

Of Wilkes abnormal ugIiness there

sight of him.
And yet his powers of fascination
were so great that women of beauty
and fashion We'd with each other for
his notice, while handsome men of all
courtly gra ces were neglected.
1t was said that there were few beau

A Costly Cure.

The hydrinus, or serpentine, called in
Italy ranocchia, or frogskin, from it's
notified appearance, stone of rich,
dark green color, with shades and spots
resembling a serpent's skin, is popular
~ believed to be a specific for rheuma-
tism.
Camille Leonardo. one of the earliest
authorities to describe carefully the
virtues of precious stones, thus quaint
ly speaks of it: "It restores such suffer-
ers to health if they will stand in the
sun, holding it in the hand for three
hours, as it causes the discharge of all
the poisonous moisture in the BODY
Great care, however, must be taken, he
warns us, in using it, as it tends at the
same time to abstract the natural mois-
ture OF the body.
Ground to a powder and taken in
wardly, il is said to cure the stone and
venomous bites, and in particular it is
a potent charm to drive away serpents
Of all Sorts
Though soft enough to be easily cut
or turned, serpentine admits of high
polish and is much priced for orna-
mental purposes.

and use the berries as she would use

Famous indeed is the Colchester oys-
ter feast, and to be invited is consid-
cred the highest compliment the towL
can confer not only from the impor-
lance of the function, but because at
that meal is an unlimited supply OF the
finest obtainable natives, of which
some sacks are consumed Even from
the times of the Romans these oysters
have been celebrated, says the London
Chronicle. Exclusive rights to the oys-
ter fisheries We're granted to the town
under a charter of Richard l., and in
the reign of Elizabeth horse loads of
oysters were accepted as gifts by the
courtiers of the time. Massinger's
Justice Greedy commences his day with
"a barrel Of Colchester oysters" a
statement that shows how altered are
the customs of today.

The Sturdy Camel.

A camel has twice the carrying power
of an OK. With an ordinary load of 400
pounds he can travel twelve or four
teen days without water, going forty
miles day. Camels are fit to work at
five years old, but their strength begins
to decline at twenty-five, although they
usually live to forty. The Tartars have
herds of these animals. often 1000, be-
longing to one family IGey We're nu
merous in antiquity, for the patriarch
Job had 5000. The Timbuktu or Me
harri breed is remarkable for speed and
used only for couriers, going 500 miles
in eight days with a meal of dates or
grain at nightfail.

The beautiful Margaret of Navarro
was devoted to her brother, Francis l.
When he was apparently dying at Mad
rid, she found her way to him through
privation and danger and succeeded in
effecting his deliverance. When he was
i'll at distance from her, she went ev-
cry day and sat down on a stone in the
middle of the road to catch the first
glimpse of messenger afar off. And
she said:
"Ah, whoever shall come to announce
the recovery of the king. my brother,
though he be tired, jaded, soiled, di-
sheveled, / will kiss him and embrace
him as though he were the finest gen
tleman in the kingdom
When he died she seemed literally
heartbroken, and she did not long sur
vive him.
