Most Surprising.

According to an American who has
been travelling in Japan. the Japanese
have a word Of salutation which
sounds like Ohio. When he was a Yo-
kobama a fellow countryman was see
ing the sights from rickshaw. The
japanese are very polite, and when
ever the American met them they gave
him the usual word of greeting. At
first he wasn't quite certain, but as
party after party bowed profoundly
and said Ohio" he became convinced
that they were uttering the name OF
his own State, and we was badly
puzzled Occidental Finally, on pass
ing Il group Of a dozen or more, who
were more than usually courteous, and
who viciferated the word of welcome.

Storm CannOns.

The storm cannons now in use along
the southern side of the Alps, where
damage from hailstorms during har-
vest time is imminent look like a huge
megaphone, such as boat-crew coaches
use, and they are set, with their wide
mouths gaping skywand, beside little
houses that look like sentry boxes.
When they are fired they boom like
sure enough" canpons, and send re-
verberating, echoing, boom-booms car
roming about among the hillsides; but
instead of ball or shell, or other sim
liar projectile, they emit a ring Of
smoke which grows larger and larger
as it ascends, until at last, before it
breaks, it is big enough to surround
ten-acre field. What the effect Of q
smoke ring upon q mischieyously in
tent cloud is l cannot exactly say, but
instead Of hail, only rain falls when
the guns are used, and damage to
crops is prevented

The ART OF DAGUERRE.

Although the improvements in pho
Biography are made so rapidly nova
days that even the professional pho
tographer can hardly keep track Of
them, there are many picture-makers,
says the Century Magazine, who be-
lieve the world will turn back to the
daguerrotype for its beautiful and
most artistic portraits.
It is more than sixty years since the
scientific world was aroused by the
announcement that Daguerre, a
Frenchman, had discovered a method
era obscura. 1t was crude method
then. The first picture, Of tree
standing in the sun, required half an
hour or more of exposure. That was
the same year in which Samuel F. B.
Morse went to Europe to exhibit his
new electric telegraph. The two in
ventors met by appointment in Paris
and explained their work to each
other.
Daguerre's plate was Of pure silver.
1t was thoroughly cleaned and polish
ed. In q dark room it was next coated
with film deposited by the vapor Of
iodin, and then exposed in the camera.
Still protected from the light, it was
placed over the fumes Of hot mer-
curry, which developed the image, and
it was then made permanent with
Chord Of gold.
This process was soon improved, I'M
til on bright days the sitting for da-
guerreotype was reduced to ten, some
times to five, seconds. Even with this
short exposure, however, the likeness
eS were remarkable. 1t is possible to
assume an artificial expression and
hold it for the brief second before a
modern camera, but to remain notion
less for the long time required for a
daguerreotype, It was necessary that
the features should be in repose in
their natural position.
The daguerreotype was a positive,
impossible to retouch. 1t was of q
soft, f1esh-like tone, which even to-day,
In the specimens of the art preserved
in collections and among family relics,
wins admiration. The daguerreotype
gave way to the cheaper ambrotype.

THE LATEST IN SHOES.
Result OF Years of Experience in
Shoe Designing and Perfected
Methods of Manufacture.

'HonorDilt'' and ''Western Lady" are
the names of two new shoes which are
conceded to reach the height of perfec-
ton in shoe making.
The successful originator of these two
lines Of perfect shoes is the +. Mayer
Boot & Shoe Co, of Milwaukee, Wis.
This name will be sufficient to assure
most Of our readers of the quality Of
these goods. A great many are already
familiar with the high standing and
good wearing features of Mayer shoes,
while thousands have been impressed by
the straightforward. persistent advertis-
ing done by this firm in all the principal
publications throughout the country.
Mayer shoes have q high standing
among shoes dealers and are recommend
ed by them as giving the greatest salts
faction of any shoes in the market The
now shoes will surpass in style. fit and
durability anything the Mayer Boot &
*! re Co. have ever placed on the mar
kct.
In announcing these new lines, it is
BE- ped that every reader will take careful
nGte of the advertisements of Honor
hilt" and Western Lady shoes and
when next in need of shoes, make a re-
quest upon the Uedlcr 1OE one Ol IucSc
new brands.
The 'Honorbilt'' for men is that sub
stantial, nobby and fashionable kind that
every man who is at all DESTROYS of being
well dressed will search for. Made in a
variety of designs, for exclusive business
or dress wear, or as appropriate for all
uses, it has features that appeal to ev-
cry man.
The Western Lady" for women will
quickly become recognized as the prop
cr shoe for ladies, as it embodies all that
appeals to a woman when she seeks the
ideal shoe for her use. The beautiful
design and graceful lines delight the fas-
tidious taste of the fair sex. Made from
the softest, select upper feathers and the
most flexible and durable sole feathers,
they are endowed with wearing and COM
fort qualities that afford a world Of salts
faction.
If your dealer does not happen to have
the "Honorbilt' or Western Lady"
shoes to show you write to the +. Mayer
