CONNECTICUT RIVER BASS.

In q number Of bass caught this
year in Connecticut waters a decid-
cd taste Of kerosene has been no
ticed, and in one instance at Lyme
several people were disagreeably af-
fected after eating the fish. Bass
that have been cooked in Saybrook,
Wethersfeld and in Brooklyn,
which are known to have been
caught near Saybrook, have given
off a strong odor Of kerosene, and
they were not cooked upon oil stoves
either.
The fishermen at Lyme and Say
brook are unable TO account for the
disagreeable flavor which many Of
the bass have this season. Some OF
the fishermen advance the theory
that the freshets in the Connecticut
have borne down the river the naph-
tha waste from gas plants and that
this oil. floating back and forth on
the tides, has given the bass their
unpalatable flavor.-Hartford Cou-
rant.

BEFORE THE CAMERA.
How the Most Satisfactory Pictures
May Be Secured.

~The sor, of clothes worn by a
person when posing for a photo
graph has great deal to do with
the success or failure Of the photog-
rapher in securing good picture,
said a photographer.
"Take waist of silk, with a glis-
tening or polished surface. Such a
garment cannot be made TO take well
in a photograph, and will give pc
cuhar effect To- II that nine out Of
ten women viii not like; yet, when
the fact is pointed out to them, they
may refuse 10 believe it. Another
thing that does not lend itself well
TO Photographic purposes when made
up into garments are goods of a
positive pattern, such as large plaids,
wide stripes, and so forth. Dresses
OF these goods NAV look well on the
wearer, and perhaps in few cases
not detract from the effect in a pho
tograph, but as a general PROPOSE
tion they ought to be tabooed by
women when having their pictures
taken by any Photographic process,
Sharp contrasts in pronounced col
ors ought also to be strictly avoid
ed, and jet or other glistening or
glittering jewelrv should not be
worn, for the light Is reflected from
them sometimes in such way as to
spoil almost completely the picture
"Stiff materials in dresses are also
apt to act as a contributing cause
TO an unsatisfactory photograph
Goods that Will fall into soft and
graceful folds are the best for a dress
TO be photographed in, for the arts
tic possibilities in their arrangement
are well nigh limitless. Sharp
harsh lines at the neck and wrist are
bad as well. Did you ever notice
that when a woman wears some soft
chiffon or something of that SOFT
about her neck the photograph is al
ways more pleasing than when she
wears stiff collar or stock?
"All of these things | have men
toned help to give photograph
that quality which causes woman
to say it isn't entirely satisfactory
even though the features may b.
excellent. Skilled photographer
know these things, and try to have
their customers avoid them, but Of

A Town Without Town Officers.

Spokogee, town IN the western
part Of the Greek Nation, is the only
town Of 1000 population in the ter
ritory that has no town officers. The
people there say they have no need
of officers and do not want any.
They pay no taxes, and whenever
they want any public improvement
they call meeting Of citizens and
raise the money. A deputy United
States marshal is located there and
Is all that is needed to keep the
peace. There is not a gambler or

They needed a schoolhouse, So the
people got together and built a good

He Shaved For Greece.

In the old days of Bangor there
was a negro barber named Hanson,
who was full of patriotism and love
of liberty and who warmly espoused
the cause Of the Greeks in their
struggle with Turkey His enthusi-
asm at last grew 10 such pitch that
he announced that he would devote
a day to shaving for the benefit Of
the Greeks. The idea took, and Gus
toners focked in by the scores, but
when they offered payment the bar
Der declined. He had given notice
he would shave for the benefit of the
Greeks, he said, and dyer s'pose |
will take pay when shave for de
benefit Of de Creeks" SO he shaved
ell day for nothing and probably
felt comforted afterward with the
thought that he had done something
handsome in aid of the Greeks
