LOVES BLINDNESS.

II hath been said that Love Is blind.
The sayings but half true,
Like many others that We find
In glancing letters through.
To faults, to sorrows. to the base,
His eyes indeed are shut:
There Is no meanness in Loves face.
No wickedness, but
When things of beauty can be seen,
When sweets from heaven fall,
None dares deny, ween.
That Cupid sees them all.
And with his eyes, as with his wings.
He seeks the realms above.
He seeks the better, truer things.
And that Is why he's Love.

more, as also the appreciation that at
certain seasons of the year turtle meat
is SO cheap that even the poor can
readily afford it. We ship turtles all
over the country by express right from
here. No, there never is much trouble
about the handling. Many of the big
ones we ship weigh as much as $50
pounds, but always they are securely
tied and helpless.
"a green turtle is not much of a
fighter once captured. When first
trapped he sometimes. puts up lively
fight with his head and fippers, but
once subdued he seems to have no fight
left in him. The 500-pound turtle,
which is the weight of the heaviest we
ever had, was sold to circus, and
that's the last we heard of him.
From 20 to $50 pounds is the average
weight of the green turtles, while the
'snappers' in rare cases run up to SO

THOUSANDS OF HAPPY WIVES.


The king Of Cambodia has solved
the problem of how to be happy,
though married. 1t is to be always
in the presence of ones wife or her
image,
+ It. would be more or less awkward
for the king of Cambodia to be al
ways in the presence of his wife,
as there are 5000 Of her. A man who
had 5000 wives always tagging
around him would be handicapped.
When he went travelling he would
have to charter Is or 20 trains. and
nobody would ever think of inviting
him to dinner. A little stroll on
moonlight night would be for the
king of Cambodia, il his wives were
with him, like leading a St. Pat
rick's day parade, and simply say
ing: Dear wife, may 1 buy you

excited shouting that would be heard
from Penang TO Mandalay. So the
king OF Cambodia has contented him
self with having all of his 5000 wives
photographed and the pictures hung
on the walls of his palace. Need
less to say. the palace walls have
quite disappeared from sight. Which
ever way the king turns he sees pic
lures OF his wives, says the Chicago
Tribune.

to the left him.
The king ordered the papering of
his palace walls with the photographs
Of his wives, thinking to do some
thing that would pease them greatly.

rible row throughout Cambodia. In
the first place, the Photographers
had to make numberless proofs be-
fore each one. of the 5000 queens was
satisfied that her picture was more
beautiful than that Of any of the
others. Then when this was settled.
there was great difficulty over hang
ing the pictures. Each queen wanted
her picture to hang in the center of
the gilded troneroom Of the palace.
The queens who found their pictures
ont in the royal billiard hail or down
stairs in the royal bowling alley
made terrible uproar and threat
ened to sue for divorce. OF course.
il they had done this it would have
kept the courts Of Cambodia tied I'M

HONOR AMONG ARMED MEN.
Anectins Ineidents Of Military Life
in the border Of Fra1ce +and
GeFmAny.

Relations between the French and
Germans have considerably improved
of late years and can even be described
as cordial, but this does not mean that
the lost provinces have been entirely
forgotten on this side of the frontier,
as the following touching story which
the Patrie has just received from its
correspondent at SAINT Die in the
vosges will show, says the London
Telegraph.
A detachment OF chasseurs-a-pied
was marching the other day close to
the frontier, when it perceived just
across the border a farmhouse on. q
bench OF which q man was sitting. He
was a soldier, too, and catching sight
of the French sergeant he rose to his
feet, stood at attention and saluted in
accordance with the rule in such a case.
Barely 20 yards away the rifemen
watched him fxedly, takingin every
detail Of his Uniform and accoutre-
ments. and at last, yielding to an nm.
comfortable impulse, they removed
their kepis and waving them aloft
shouted: - &. ~
'sVive Ia France! ~ - - q 9
So moved was the German soldier by
this demonstration that, covering his
face with his hands, he burst to tears.
The tall, fair-haired man, who looked
barely 1syears Of age, was an Alsatian
and the sergeant, as soon as he had
realized the fact, addressing the
chasseurs inflow and sad tones, said !:
"Come on, boys, let us be of. We must
not tempt the poor fellow. Only
towards desert" A. moment later the
detachment was leaving the spot, but
the Frenchmen, as they looked mourn
fully back. beheld the man, wlioswas
still standing on the other side of the
boundary, sobbing as if his heart
would break.

He who drinks beer consumes the
most glass. A chemical analysis of
any bottled beer inevitably reveals
some of the glass constituents. But
the water drinker, too, swallows his
share. In carafe or in glass pitcher
have you ever noticed the odd line
which marks the level that the water

the water has changed the appearance
Of the glass slightly by absorbing

DAYS OF THE DAGUERREoTYp1

culiarlties Of Sltters.

u
remember the time when daguerreo-
type was the only photograph. Yet
to-day, when in the fraction of a Sec
ond is made the negative from which
hundreds of pictures may be printed,
we seem very far removed from the
days when a, separate sitting was re.
quired for each picture.
Abraham Bogardus, one of the first
Americans to use Daguerre's process,
once favored the Companion with some

throw an interesting light on those
"old times. which, after all, were not
so very long ago, says Youths Com.
panion. Monday was always the best
business day of the week. said the
veteran.
why? Well, perhaps Sunday night
courtships had something to do with
it. The interested couple would agree
to exchange daguerreotypes, and Mon
day was sure to bring them both
promptly.
I'm the early days of the daguerreo-
type the frock coat was seldom seen.
A man was well dressed when he wore
a blue cloth dress coat with black
velvet collar and plain brass buttons,
his waistcoat being either white or
light yellow, and double-breasted. The
only time I ever saw Daniel Webster
he wore such a coat and yellow waist
coat.
~ often made pictures Of old men in
full ruff1ed shirt-bosom, and wrist
bands as well, and with hair in queue.
Some men still wore straps at the bot
tom of their pantaloons. Most of them,
instead of twisting their mustaches,
employed their hands to roll their hair
over their ears.
Indeed, a mustache was seldom
seen, and it required considerable cour-
age to appear with one. Young wom-
en- would laugh, and street urchins
were ready to ridicule the wearer.
''It was common for women to have
their hair shaved at the parting, to
make the forehead high. The higher
and broader the expanse, the better
the woman was pleased, and the great.
eer was the number Of her admirers,
the high and broad forehead being sup
posed to betoken intellect.
"The pictures we made at that period
were pretty severe. Every line and
wrinkle would show. We had not
learned the art of retouching, and the
likeness was sure to be there-horri-
bly, correct. it sometimes seemed!
AS for the retouching process, it is
right to soften strong lines and re-
move frowns, but it is not right to re-
move line when by SO doing one

have persons 70 years old ask if / could
take their pictures so the wrinkles
would not show Ny answer invaria-
bly, was, Yes, but where will the like
ness be-? A photograph that is not

leading but senseless thing"
