An Expert Photographer.

From the Pilgrim.
 Though there are hundreds of women photographers, the only woman in the United States recognized by the govern ment as an expert in photography Is Miss Nell Haven of San Francisco. In many notable cases she has been called upon by the United State supreme court to give expert testimony as to the photo graphing of different subjects. Miss Ha- ven has made a particular study of the Bertillon system of identifying suspected criminals, and pictures made by her are accepted by the authorities as equal to those made by the great expert and foun- der of the system. With this system beside taking exact measurements Of parts of the body photographs of the full face and one of profile are taken from a fixed chair and fixed camera Description and photograph are put to- gether on cards of uniform size and the identification of a suspect is rendered comparatively easy. Miss Haven acquired her skill while assisting with the photo graphic work connected with the i'm migration bureau in San Francisco.

Pointed Paragraphs.

From the Chicago News.
 Hush money is apt to talk pretty loud at times.
 When doctors disagree it's up to the undertaken.
 Occasionally society bud develops into a wall flower.
 A man usually thinks of the wrong eX- cuse at the right time.
 Only a fool worm would wait until trodden upon before turning.
 Be sure of the obese veal before essay ing the role of prodigal son.
 It keeps a hypocrite busy trying to con- vince himself that he is honest.
 Once a hero always hero to the hero himself-but not to the fickle populace, Every man knows of a sure remedy for a cold that he wouldn't try on himself. Some men who swear eternal love dur ing the courtship are eternally swearing after marriage.
 Any boy who would rather go to school than to circus will never break into the strenuous class

 The employees are not under military discipline of any sort. One would expect to find the place heavily guarded; for no particular reason, of course. since no one is likely to try to lug off a case of rifles Still the ordinary civilian would not be surprised to find a soldier camped down at every door and peer1ng Watch- fully from every window. It is therefore a surprise to find that there are exactly forty-three soldiers sta toned there. sentry at each gate seem ed perfectly adequate for the protection of A lot of rifles-which nobody wants. Another surprise for the minimizing out slider is the activity of the arsenal in times of peace.

 Testing the Guns.
 TO guard against imperfections every gun made at Springfield is fired five times. A charge one and a half times the usual one Is used, in order to develop possible seams, formed by blow hole drawn out in the making of the barrel. An inclosure, 600 by 60 feet in size, serves a range. where all guns are tested as to their aim, process known as targeting. Expert marksmen are constantly employed at this work.
 When all the precautions have been taken the guns are packed in cases and stored, perhaps in the very building of which Longfellow wrote after he and his wife had visited the arsenal in company with Charles Sumner, on their wedding journey in 1s43. Sumner talked a good deal of how much better it would have been for the world If the money which had gone to the making of all those guns
 could have been put into libraries, and | Mrs Longfellow said that the burnished gun barrels, ranged in rows from floor to | ceiling reminded her of the pipes of a | great organ.

WHEN Hoes CAM I WALK.
Diet of Corn and Stops Responsible
for the Helpless Condition Of
the Big Porkers.

Men that were raised on New Eng
land farms have memories Of great fat
hogs that for months before slaughter
were unable to stand on their hind legs.
The writer has seen hogs that weighed
almost 500 pounds that before slaughter
had to move around on their launches
as on a pivot. They ate and slept in the
same place. turning one way TO eat and
the other to sleep. Their owners
thought 1t nothing unusual, they only
said: THE hog has become so fat he
can't stand up. Yet with more light on
the situation we know that it was not
a case of fairness only. but case of the
constant feeding of corn and slops out
OF which the animal could not manufae-
ture any bone or muscle that would sus-
tain. weight In those days the food
of such hogs was corn as largely IS it
is now. Had those animals received .
ration composed of ground oats, skln-
milk. and such nitrogen-supplying foods
they would have had a boneand- muscle
that would have carried about any
weight. The same results come from
the same causes now. but it IS not SO ap-
parent, as the hogs are marketed st
half the weight they were II the days
mentioned. No man should iced a corn
diet exclusively to his hogs. Farmers
