days as There Used to BE.

Brides are probably just as beautiful
now as ever they were, but they are
not nearly 30 anxious to record their
postnuptial loveliness by means Of pho
tographs. Most photographers say they
are glad of 1t.
Il never did enjoy taking the pictures
of brides" said a photographer. Like
all the rest of the world, love the dear
freatures, but when 1t comes down to
"a dozen commerciallsm they do not
satisfy my artistic instincts. Few brides
take a good picture. Somehow their
logs are not becoming. A bride is sup
posed to look superlatively lovely on
her wedding day, but IL anybody dared
TO tell the truth on the subject that su-
perstition soon would be exploded and
the sweet things would realize that, in
stead of looking their best on that oc-
casion, most of them are apt to look
their worst 1t is the same way when
they come to be photographed In their
wedding flnery. They are either too
pale or too red, and they have a nerv-
ous, anxious expression that robs the

purposes.
THE time was when no bride consid-
cred herself really married until she
had arrayed herself in spotless white
and had her picture taken. Generally
he came with her, and he looked just
about as foolish as she did. Goodness,
the trouble I have had posing brides
and bridegrooms before the cameral
Instead of telling them to look pleas
ant l always felt like saying, Don't
look idlotic IL you can possibly help it,
and then l would have to think up
some device to keep her from scrouging
down too close against his shoulder and
to keep him from responding with an
equally inappropriate embrace. But
with all my precautions l never fully
succeeded In preventing their acting
like lunatics. The other day when look
ing over a lot of old negatives l came
across several hundred OF those sentl-
mental combinations, and l thanked
my lucky stars that nowadays few
newly mated couples have the camera
craze. e."-Chicago RecordHerald.

POULTRY POINTERS.

Stale bread soaked In milk and
squeezed dry is good feed for young
ducks.
Only medium sized eggs should be
set. Extra large or small ones are apt
TO produce deformed chicks.
Turkeys are not so sure to come
home as other fowls; hence ii is a good
plan TO mark them In some way.
Feed the young chicks often If you
would have them growing rapidly. but
do not feed more Mt time than they
will eat up clean in Il few minutes.
Destroy the old nests as soon as the
hens come of with the chicks. The
safest and best plan is to burn all Of
the old material.
Healthy fowls pick up their food
quickly and relish It, When they go at
II lazlly, pick mp grain or two and
then stop something is wrong
Never shut the fowls up in such close
quarters that they cannot take enough
exercise TO promote digestion. Hens
treated in this way will soon become
too fat to lay.

THE AMERICAN LAUGH.
II Is n Valuable Aid In Building Up
Our National Greatness.

Gods greatest gift to man was the
laugh. Without II the human race
would have wept itself to death or ex-
terminated itself long ago. Pathos is
beautiful; tragedy is absorbing But
both pathos and tragedy are instantly
routed by the laugh.
Laughter has sunshine In II. II is
for the secret of life. What Is II but
rood humor? That's the secret of life
being worth living.
What sunshine is to earth good hu-
NOR Is TO man. Take the smile and
the laugh away, and 1t would be the
end of man.
Men can't fight while they enjoy a
joke. Death himself recoils from the
laugh. The man In a good humor has
an enormous advantage over the man
who is angry. Anger is dark. Bitter
ness is filled with shadow. Intoler-
ance is grim and black. Prejudice is
blind.
Good humor, with the smile and the
laugh. is sunshine In which objects are
plain and distortion disappears and
wherein phantoms become nothing.
One reason for Americas greatness Is
that, above all, 1t Is nation that
laughs. There have been gay peoples
and frivolous nations, but gayety and
frivolity are strangely akin to meian-
choly. That gay Germany whose ma
tional happiness is expressed In song
is clouded by melancholy. Sadness
pervades the temperament of Germa
MIA.
And frivolous France-how tragic
she becomes-how desperately tragicl
The great American laugh is another
thing. Investigate the American ma
tional laugh, and there's a sound, prac-
tical something behind 1t. 1t is never a
forced laugh. 1t is healthy, vigorous,
spontaneous.
Empires and powers have crumbled
and gone to pieces In solemn serious
ness and gloomy grandeur, while Uncle
Sam, with a joke on his lips, forges
ahead.-Denver Post.

MISTAKES OF BIRDS.
They Are the Result of Contact WITH
Civilization.

Probably In state of wild nature
birds never make mistakes, but where
they come In contact with our civiliza-
ton and are confronted by new condi-
tions they very naturally make mis-
takes. For instance, their cunning In
nest building sometimes deserts them.
The art of the bird is to conceal its
nest both as to position and as to ma
terial, but now and then 1t is betrayed
into weaving into its structure snowy
and bizarre bits of this or that, which
give its secret away and which seem
to violate all the traditions of its kind.
| have the picture of a robins nest be-
fore me upon the outside of which are
stuck small muslin flower, a leaf
from a small calendar and a photo
graph of local celebrity. A more
incongruous use of material In bird
architecture 1t would be hard to find
| have been told of another robins nest
upon the outside of which the bird had
fastened a wooden label from a near
by flower bed marked wake Robin"
Still another nest I have seen built
upon a large, snowy foundation of the
paperlike flowers of antennaria, or ev-
erlasting. The wood thrush frequently
weaves a fragment of newspaper or q
white rag into the foundation of Its
nest. Evil communications corrupt
good manners" The newspaper and
the rag bag unsettle the wits of the
birds.
The phoebe bird is capable of this
kind of mistake or indiscretion All the
past generations Of her tribe have built
upon natural and therefore neutral
sites, usually under shelving and over
hanging rocks, and the art of adapting
the nest to its surroundings, blending
1t with them, has been highly devel.
oped. But phebe now frequently
builds under our sheds and porches,
where, so far as coneealment is con-
cerned, a change of material, say from
moss to dry grass or shreds of bark,
would be an advantage to her. But she
departs not mite from the family ira
ditions; she uses the same woody
mosses which in some cases, especially
when the nest is placed upon unevenly
sawed timber, makes her secret an
open one to all eyes.-John Burroughs
In Century.

The Green Ffeud.

While number of workmen were
sitting in wine shop in the Rue de
Charenton in Paris one day one of
them, a man of forty, named Negocier,
made wager that he would drink
dozen glasses of absinth while IL
o'clock was striking. The wager was
taken and the twelve glasses placed
on the table On the first stroke Nego-
cier swallowed his first glass, and the
clock had just finished striking when
he drank the twelfth and last. While
his companions were applauding the
feat Negocier staggered and fell heavi-
ly to the floor He was picked up dead.

General Cassius NJ. Clay died at his
home at Whitehall, Kentucky, on the
22d instant, without becoming recon-
eiled to his children, from whom he
had been estranged for years. He ae-
cused them of trying to get possession
of his property.
General Clay died in his ninety
fourth year. He was one of Ken
tucky's most peculiar and distin-
guished citizens. He took the Federal
side in the civil war, having been a
rabid abolitionist, in opposition to his
kinsmen and neighbors, and fought on
the Union side with great gallantry.
He was sent as Minister to Russia by
Lincoln, and wore his hat at court on
the ground that if the Gar would not
uncover neither would he Clay was
handsome and cultured, and in later
years majestic figure. He was de-
scribed as arrogant, belligerent, knight
errant of the lowly and poor, his word
on his tongue, his knife and gun in his
belt, his life in his hands. Lincoln is
said TO have regarded him with alter
nate admiration and amazement.

Geronimo, the bloodthirsty old saw
age, who led the Apaches in their raids
in Arizona, and who gave the United
States army 80 much bother for num-
Der of years, until General Miles men
finally ran him to cover, has become
religious. He will have to repent a
heap, if he expects his religion to do
his soul any good, for he was one of
the worst numbering scoundrels that
ever went unhung.

In most plants, to put it simply. the
leaves are the mouths and stomachs of
the organism; their thin and flattened
blades are spread out horizontally IN
II wide expanse, covered with tiny
throats and lips which suck in carbonic
acid from the surrounding air and dis
integrate 1t in their own cells under
the influence of sunlight. In the prick
ly pears. on the contrary, it is the fiat
tened stem and branches which under
take this essential operation in the life
of the plant-the sucking in of carbon
and giving out of oxygen, which are to
the vegetable exactly what the eating
and digestlng of food are to the animal
organism. In their old age, however.
the stems of the prickly pear display
their true character by becoming
woody in texture and losing their ar
ticulated, leafiike appearance.
