VANITY BEFORE THE CAMERA.
Glimpses Of Human Nature Seen by a
Photographer,


There a time when I was not a
a photograph gallery and was king of all
1 surveyed" remarked Joseph Miller of
Philadelphia at the New Willard today.
Il consider that there is no business when
the vanity of human nature can be better
studied than by a photographer 1t is of
course. natural that people should desire
to look their best when having their pic
lures taken. and am safe in saying that
fifty per cent of the people who visit the
galleries are moved by no other motives,
but there are also nearly as many who
are not satisfied unless their pictures are
more preSentable than themselves. For
instance. one of the most Outlandish pho
tos l ever took was that of a maiden lady
OF about fifty years, who insisted that she
pose as the Queen of May, clad in muslin
dress and pretty flower hat and wearing a
coouettish smile-and she was well salts
fed with the reproduction of herself.
Another woman. who first saw the light
about twenty years before the civil war,
posed as Juliet, and gaZed down fondly at
an imaginary Romeo. from an improvised
balcony. 1t seems that once upon time
she played the part in amateur per-
formance. and when looking back over the
centuries she remembered the pleasure It
had given her, she desired to have a pic
ture of herself in costume. not remembering
that a slight difference had come to her
face and form since that time. Shortly
before l went out of business a woman
who weighed in the neighborhood of go
pounds had her picture taken with a
painted representation of the ocean back
Of her. and she padding about barefooted
in the ripping waves 1t was a touching
sight.
Some women are so vain that they think
they really look like girls of eighteen af-
ter they have become grandmothers, and
have several times retouched pictures to
remove the wrinkles on the face and make
an ancient female appear half a century
younger. In most cases they will say that
1t is the best picture they have ever had
taken.
But while have mentioned women ex-
clusively. it must not be inferred that they
are the only ones who like to have their
photographs artificially improved before
they are sent out to their friends. Men
are often exceedingly touchy about their
appearance and by the clever use of a
pencil we make bald headed men assume
the appearance of having a sufficiency of
raven locks and to tone down Objectionable
features of the face Some aspiring young
men are in the habit of getting their pic
lures taken in makeups. following the style
ably would get stage fright If they ever
appeared SO in public Size is an impora-
ant question and men who scarcely exceed
five feet three inches are anxious to have
the martial appearance of six-foot drum
major. This is accomplished by an ar
rangement of scenery and seats.

EDUCATION OF FILIPINOS.
Demand of the Natives That English
Be Taught in the Schools.

Ossian H. Lang in the Forum.
Mr. Frederick W. Nash writes from Ma
Mia TO the Educational Review that such
is the demand for English among the Fill
p!nos that while two years ago there were
less than 200 native teachers who could
give instruction In the language, there are
at present more than 1000 actually en-
gagged in teaching English and practcing
methods and ideas learned Of American
teachers In the American-taught normal
schools. And Mr.. Atkinson. who was the
first commissioner of public education in
the archipelago. and who has just returned
to this country and accepted the superin-
tendency of the schools of Newton, Mass.
says that English was introduced into
the schools because the Fflipinos wanted
IT." IL is largely because of the demand

Straw in Egyptian Brick.
From the London Globe.


The ancient Egyptians had a process for
making bricks which rendered them very
hard, yet easy to work. An American en-
gineer Mr.. Acheson, thinks he has discov-
cred their secret The Egyptians used
straw. and by boiling straw In water and
mixing clay with 1t he found that 1t gave
hard, shapely bricks that did not crack or
deform in baking Analysts proved the ef-
feet due to tannin dissolved In water. Fur
ther experiments showed that from one
half to one per cent of the tannin of COM
merce added to the resistance of the brick.
The process also economies water, and
such bricks dried in the sun are even more
solid than those of the kiln.
