Electric Liaht Photoaraphs.

A French photographer, NJ. G. A.
Liebert, has recently devised an appa-
ratus which will enable him to take
instantaneous photographs in his
studio. This device is described in
lie Revue Patrique de lElectricite.
The object of using electric lights is
to give the photographer entire con-
troll of graph to be taken, the sub
ject is arranged and the sensitive
plate is exposed.
The photographer then waits until
a desirable pose has been secured,
when he presses a rubber bulb, which
draws the two movable arc light car
bons across the fixed one, thus form
ing brilliant arc; but the moment
the current passes through the lamp
the movable carbons are drawn away
from the fixed one by means Of an
electromagnetic, and the arc Is thus ex-
tinguished. 1t lasts about one-fiftieth
Of a second, but this gives sufficient
time for an exposure.

Isidor Reynor the new senator from
Maryland, has been leading lawyer
In that state for thirty years. He was
in Congress while the Mckinley tar
III bill was under discussion. One day
while arguing an amendment, he cas-
ually remarked that everything Is
either luxury or a necessity" Here
he was interrupted with question
from a member who generally kept
himself in a most unkempt condition.
II understand you to say that every
thing is either luxury or necessity
said the disheveled member NOW, |
have Just taken a bath. Which would
you call that?" Angered at'such a
trivial interruption, Mr.. Raynor re-
piled, icily: '1n your case it is both a
necessity and luxury; a necessity
because you need it so badly, and a
luxury because you take 1t so rarely"

Apple Packages.

The question of kind of package in
which to put up apples for the gen.
eral market is forcing itself on the
attention of apple-growers every.
where. The barrel will continue to
be used quite extensively, but the box
is certain to grow into favor very
rapidly. In fact we have seen won
derful growth in this direction dur
ing the past five years. The box can
be manufactured almost anywhere
and out of any kind of wood, while
the barrel-maker must depend on the
stave mills for supplies of slaves, and
these slaves can be profitably made
only out of certain kinds Of wood.
Some have charged that there Is a
trust or combine either among the
barrel-makers or among some of the
makers of the material out of which
the barrels are made. This may be so,
but whether it is or not, it is just as
well to develop the line of manufac-
ture where the farmer can be in a
measure Independent of possible COM
bines. Circular saws are not expen-
sive, and untold powers are going to
waste in wind, stream and unused
fuel. Little skill is required in the
making of boxes, and it is to be hoped
that this season more boxes than ever
will be used.

Stomach.

The majority of people never stop
to think that the stomach is anything
more than a receptacle for things that
have been chewed. They get hold OF
something that tastes good and swal-
low it into the stomach to get it out
of the way, SO there will be room for
something more. That might be all
right il the stomach were a garbage
box that could be carried of and
emptied; but nature intends the stom-
ach for another purpose. We are
constructed of what we eat. We should
stop to think of that. We should be
careful what we swallow, for it be-
comes brain, heart, limbs, blood; and
if we are to have good blood, clear
brains, sound minds. sturdy legs and
strong arms, we must eat food that
is capable Of making that sort Of It's

Daily Exercise.


Clerks, bookkeepers and thousands
of other indoor workers suffer from
the lack of pure air and muscular ex'
ercise. IL an attempt is made to be-
gin systematic exercise. or an hour or
so is spent in digging or chopping
wood, undue soreness and fatigue are
produced. This disagreeable result
often stops the experiment. Instead
of discouraging the trial, the very
soreness should point out the great
nred of the body.
r. the work were persisted in and
gradrally increased the stiffness would
soon disappear, and leave in its place
a general feeling of increased vigor.
The nerves are strengthened and the
bodily activities quickened. The eff
feet is not alone on the muscles used,
but upon each organ. The blood is
purified and the digestion strength
ened.
The effects of prolonged sedentary
life are overcome only by working off
the accumulated poisons and creating
an appetite for new pure food. This is
built up in the body, and thus the
whole man is renewed.
Exercise must be carefully increased
and adapted to the individual muscu-
lar strength. The weakest muscles
must be brought up to the standard
of the others.
For feeble persons who are not
able to do the desired work, massage,
Swedish movements and mechanical
exercises should be employed.
For more robust persons, walking,
horseback riding, rowing, bicycle rid
ing and especially swimming are to be
recommended.

Automobiles in Astronomy.

In an article in La Nature, M.
Touchet tells us that automobiles are
now being used by astronomers, and
he speaks of the new vehicles as
automobile observatories." II APP
pears that they are being fitted up
with all the accessories necessary for
astronomers who wish to make a spe-
cial study of shooting stars.
Balloons have been fried for the
observation of these stars, but the re-
suits obtained are not satisfactory,
and it is believed that the automobiles
are destined to render great services.
In 1903 experiments were made by
French astronomers who wished to
study the Leonides. M. Maurice Far
man and H. Chretien went by auto
mobile TO Anthon-la- PLANE, leaving
M. Touchet in the observatory at
Chevreuse. Since then great i'm
provements have been made in the
vehicles themselves and in the means
of transporting the accessories.

Top-Workinq Apple Trees.

Some time past there was an article
In the Review, in regard to grating
old apple trees to make them produc-
tive. which | think is misleading. /
have been engaged in the nursery
business for the past fifty years, and
in that time have grated a great
many old trees Of nearly all varieties
that grow in this climate. If you
have trees of good varieties that have
become feeble and that have ceased
to be productive, the best thing to do
is to pruue heavily and spread a good
wagon load of manure around the tree.
A great many make mistake by
throwing the manure in a pile near
the tree. The fertilizing material that
supports the tree and makes the fruit
is taken up by the small fibers at the
extreme out end of the roots The
roots will extend outward from twelve
to sixteen inches from the tree every
year. So a tree twenty years old
should have the fertilizer scattered at
a distance of not less than twelve
feet. The large roots merely act as
a conveyor of the fertilizer to the
tree.
But If your tree is thrifty and in
healthy condition, but bears little fruit
or Of inferior quality, the best thing
is to top-graft with some good variety
that bears in your locality, and, if
given good attention. it will bear
finely in three years. In top-grafting.

varieties that bear finely in some To-
calities are a failure in others, as to
fruiting, but grow thriftily, in Shich
case it is best to top-graft them with
some variety that you know will bear.

Delivering Cream to creamerles.

In the summer time, at least, cream
must be delivered to the creamery
every day, If good article of butter
is to be made. In the winter sys-
tenn of delivering cream every other
day may do well enough, but it
should not be made to suit the situa-
ton in summer. When whole milk
was hauled to the factory the farmer
realized that it was necessary to haul
1t every day. With the hauling of
the cream the work is greatly re-
duced, because lighter rig may be
used. The patron should therefore
be contented with this saving in cost
and not try to double the saving by
establishing system of every other
day delivery.

the idea is to have these fire-controll-
ed partitions spring up through the
floor and SO subdivide the space into
sections and making it difficult for
an intermingling of people from differ
ent parts of the house. The probable
result, however, would be confusion
worse contounded and the emptying
of the people from the passageways
into the exits would in no wise be

RECIPES.

Cheese Straws.-Roll scraps of puff
paste thin. and sprinkle with nut
cheese, grated; fold, roll out, and
sprinkle again, and repeat the pro-
cess. Then place on ice to harden.
When cold, roll in rectangular shape
one-eighth of an inch thick; place it
on a baking pan, and with pastry
cutter dipped in hot water, cut into
strips four or five inches long, and
less than a quarter of an inch wide.
Bake in a moderate oven.
Easter Lily cake.-Bake sunshine
cake in layer tins not more than one
inch thick when done; also bake an
gel food in the same way. With a
fancy pastry cutter Of lily design cut
the white cake into small cakes.
Cut the sunshine cake in the
same way, and put one Of the yellow
flowers on top of the white, with a
white filling between. Cover the top
Of the sunshine layer with white icing,
or if the white flower comes on top,
cover the white with yellow tinted
Icing. The cakes might be served
separately with the lily formed from
icing put on the top using white for
the petals and yellow for the centers.
Tomato Sauce.-Put half can of
tomatoes over the fire in a stewpan,
with a quarter Of a minced onion, a
little parsley, bay leaf and half a
teaspoonful OF salt. Boil about twenty
minutes. Remove from the fire and
strain through sieve. Melt in an
other pan tablespoonful of cocoanut
or dairy butter and as 1t meits, sprin-
kle in tablespoonful Of -four; stir
until it browns little. Mix with the
tomato pulp and It is ready for use.

The Only Safeguard Against Tubercu.

tuberculosis is a low-level disease.
People are not subject to it until their
bodies have become weakened and
their whole constitution undermined.
1t used to be thought that one could
not have tuberculosis if only he ex.
ercised his lungs. A man who had
this disease went to a professor in
Vienna for advice. The professor
said. "You had better get a horn and
learn to play it, to exercise your
lungs" Alas, professor" answered
the man, 81 am band master now"
To live a natural life is the only
safeguard against tuberculosis. One
climate may do as well as another il
only you live out of doors, get plenty
of cold, fresh air, battle the body with
cold water daily, eat simple, nutri
tious food and take as much exercise
as possible without exhaustiEs the

The crop of inventions covering al

aters, which was given a new impetus
by the Chicago catastrophe, is still
prolific. 1t is probably safe to esti,
mate that not one such device in a
hundred is practical. Like most am

to provide some appliance or equip
