Satisfied His Curiosity.

The curiosity of the natives of wild
countries as to everything belonging
to the traveller often leads to amusing
situations j. w. Wells tells, in Three
Thousand Miles Through Brazil" of
his visit to one settlement where the
only shopkeeper of the place proved
very inquisitive. He was a frequent
visitor, and would carefully examine
the few belongings of the traveller His
curiosity was finally punished in a very
funny manner.
on one of his Wits, writes Mr. Wells,
he found my bottle Of spirits of ammo
MIA on the table, and seeing 1t was
something he had not hitherto inspect
ed, he naturally laid hold Of 1t, and
asked of me, what is this?"
"Only medicine" replied; and with
a perhaps unworthy satisfaction |
watched him hold ii up to the light,
look at II all round, and finally remove
the glass stopper and then take a good

FIRST WOMAN PHOTOGRAPHER.


Miss Mary Anne Meade of Brooklyn,
n. u, who has just died, was the first
photographer in New York. She was
born in London, England, on Dec. 8,
1926 At about this time Louis Da-
guerre made his first experiments In
photography, and Miss Meade's two
brothers, becoming interested in his
discovery, journeyed to Paris to learn
the art. While in the inventors COM
pany they had the honor of taking the
first photograph of Daguerre, which Is
now preserved in the Smithsonian In
stitution in Washington, ID. c.
At the age of Is Miss Meade's fam
lily came to the United States and made
their home in Albany. Here brothers
and sistt< practiced the art of Da-
guerre, and in 1910 opened studio at
233 Broadway Manhattan. Photogra-
ply was then coming to be a popular
fad and was no longer in an expert
mental stage, so that it was not long
before the establishment became fam

Through photography Miss Meade
met many famous people. She treasur-

Florida Negroes Seeking Invisibiiity

Florida Negroes Seeking Instability
Realized that They Were Seen.
"For good many years" said a
Florida man, who was up this way
recently, 1--WE have been familiar in the
far South with the schemes which de-
signing negroes with the money-mak
ing instinct have been working upon
their ignorant fellows to coax the coin
from their clothes. I'd hate to say
how many thousands of dollars the
more ignorant negroes of Florida alone
give Zip every year for connections,
manufactured out of nothing worth
while by the crafty negroes. for whit

multitudinous lotions or ointments or

of stuff for all of their spare change.

but an ancient black schemer was
put away down in Florida not long
ago for springing and successfully
working an entirely new one. The
foxy old darby made literally thou
sands of dollars out of his dodge be-
fore he was nailed. He passed the
word around among the ignorant ne
gro men that he had a consignment of
charms. in the shape of small pieces of
bone, that would come pretty near
making their purchasers bosses of ev-
erything In sight. The owner and
wearer of one of his bone charms, he
announced. would be rendered com
pletely invisible TO human eyes. Well,
you can readily imagine how a. charm
like that would take down in a coun-
try where yeller-legged chickens are
thicker'n bees, and whore watermel-
ons just pop out of the soil ont of
their own volition. The ignorant blacks
fell to those little bone charms all in
bunch. and they dug up from S. to
$50 apiece for the things at that.
