PHOTOGRAPHY AND FINE ART.
Camera Pictures Much More Than Ne
chanical Reproduction.

Few persons could be found who
would deny the claims of photography
to rank among the fine arts, when
skillully used and properly controlled,
since the photography of Of today is
something more than a mechanical re-
production. The individuality of the
photographer is being expressed in
his work almost as much as is that Of
the painter. The painter still has the
advantage, for while he may give us
an impression fuller than that made by
nature upon the eye, the photographer
can deal only with that which is OBJ
served with such unerring fidelity and
skill by a mechanical eye. Compost
ton is therefore one of the necessary
principles to the photographer, who
thus supplies the mechanical eye with
a mind, yet he must study lighting at
different hours Of the day and varying
weather conditions that he may know
the best effects to be obtained Many
otherwise successful photographers
need to realize that scientific accuracy
is not necessarily artistic truth, so
that, while one actualizes, the definite
sharpness may be softened and the Of
feet enhanced.-Home Magazine.

and Investigating mind, an earnest
seeker after knowledge, and above
all, possessed Of wonderfully sympa-
thetic nature.
In 1s43 she married Isaac Pinkham,
builder and real estate operator, and
their early married life was marked by
prosperity and happiness. They had
four children, three sons and q
daughter
In those good old fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make
their own home medicines from roots
and herbs, natures own remedies
calling in physician only in specially
urgent cases. By tradition and ex-
perience many of them gained a WON
derful knowledge of the curative prop
critics Of the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took great interest
In the study of roots and herbs, their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
bountifully provides in the harvest
fields and orchards vegetable foods of
all kinds; SO, if we but take the pains
to find them, in the roots and herbs
of the field there are remedies ex-
pressly designed to cure the various
ills and weaknesses Of the body, and
it was her pleasure to search these out,
and prepare simple and effective medi-
cines for her own family aud friends.
Chief Of these was q rare combina-
ton of the choicest medicinal roots
and herbs found best adapted for the
cure of the ills and weaknesses pecu-

hams friends and neighbors learned
that her compound relieved and cured
and it became quite popular among
them.
All this so far was done freely, with.
out money and without price, as q
labor of love.
But In 1879 the financial crisis struck
Lynn. Its length and severity were too
much for the large real estate interests
of the Pinkham family, as this class
of business suffered most from
fearful depression, so when the Centen.
NAL year dawned it found their prop
erty swept away. Some other source
of income had to be found.
At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound was made known
to the world.

with their mother, combined forces to

Japan's Empress Popular.

JaPan'S Empress Popular.
It is doubtful If any royal consort is
more loved by her people than is the
empress of Japan. Educated accord
ing to feudal ideas and skilled in all
the accomplishments BETTING one Of
her social eminence, her majesty
strongly favors the broadness of the
new education for women and from
her private purse gives large sums
toward the maintenance of women's
schools and universities. During the
war with Russia the empress visited
the hospitals many times and every
day passed hours making bandages.
The effect of these bandages upon the
wounded soldiers has been of deep in
terest to medical and scientific men,
for the soldiers honored by them
seemed to rally under a peculiar men
tai influence. All other bandages were
destroyed after their first use; those
made by the empress were sterilized
and used again for the simple reason
Of their effect on the recovery Of the
soldiers.

Origin Of Term "Grocer."


According to etymology, retail
grocer" is as absolute an impossibility
as weekly journal" A grocer, or
"grosser" as it used to be spelled, is
really a trader I'm gross"-that is to
say, in large quantities, wholesale:
Englishmen Of other days spoke Of
"grossers Of fish" and "grossers OF
wine," and an act Of Edward III. ex-
pressly mentions that "grossers'' dealt
in all manner of goods. In those days
''spicer" was the word for grocer" in
the modern sense. But 1t happened
that the Grocers' company, founded In
the fourteenth century, specialized in
spicery and so grocer" gradually took
the place of "spicer.'

Sounded Praises Of SOAP.

In q guide to etiquette published
early in the last century the writer
says that soap does not irritate the
complexion; some of the finest COM
plexions we have known have been
regularly washed with soap every day"
The same authority remarks that "the
daily bath is now the rule rather than
the exception, and common sense has
triumphed over the decision that wash
ing was Injurious" And then the
writer has dig at her great-grand-
mother, whose only additions con-
sisted IN wetting her cheeks with a
cambria handkerchief dipped in rose
water" In all our directions with re-
gard to the BATH" adds this early VIC
torian dictator, 1T must be borne in
mind that we only refer to those In

Uses Of Masks.

Among the North American Indians
the>urigin Of the use sot masks lay"
says q writer, lin the desire to con-
zeal the emotions. Thus; should two
warriors meet In combat, the mask
conceals any expression, whether Of
sympathy, fear or other emotion. For
instance, the knowledge that fear was
depicted on ones face and that his an
tagonist knew It would very possibly
insure the defeat Of thess one whose
feelings were betrayed to the other.

minstrel company ON the road under

are fortunate in getting performance

its kind. This season it is all new,
original and funny. The singing is as
perfect as is heard in the very best of
opera companies. The specialties cam
not be beaten and are decidedly
laughable and intensely interesting,
as Beach 4 Bowers have called to
their assistance an array of talent that
places their company in the van OF
minstrelsy. The minstrel boys are
young, active and up-to-date. and seem
untiring in their efforts to please, and
they arouse the spectators to the high

WASHINGTON NOTES.

The following news notes are clipped
from the daily press having special
representatives in Washington:
A special of the Both says:-The fight
over federal patronage in South Da-
kota between Senator Kittredge and
Congressman Martin and Burke on the
one side, Au6 Senator Gamble on the
other is ended with a defeat for Sena-
tor Gamble.
On Saturday President Roosevelt
had conference with Congressman
Martin and Burke and assured them
that their recommendations on post
masters throughout the whole state
would be final Yesterday President
Roosevelt met Senator kittredge and
Gamble and advised them of this de-
cision. Senator Gamble had claimed
that inasmuch as there was division
among the delegation he should have
the right to name the postmasters in
at least two judicial districts. This
claim the president refused to grant.
This turns over to the two congress-
men the endorsement of every post
master in the state, and it is is expect
ed that the appointments which have
been held up pending the decision of
this question will now begin to be re-
ported.
In the conference yesterday with
the two senator's, President Roosevelt
stated that he would not reappoint j.
D. Elliot of Tyndall as United States
district attorney. 1t is not yet decided
who the appointee is to be but it is
understood that the appointee will be
one wholly satisfactory to the stalwart
element of the party in South Dakota.
The other federal appointments will
be divided between the two senators
and as they have not reached an agree
ment senatorial appointments will be
deferred for the present. Martin and
Burke are working harmoniously to-
gether, which means that there will
be no further delay in the appointment
of postmasters
Representative Martin expects soon
to deliver an address on the bill he is
fathering, and which provides for fed
eral regulation of all corporations en-
gagged in interstate commerce. The
bill it is said to be we'll drawn and to
meet the views of the administration.
Congressman Burke called up and
passed in the house today the two
hills extending the time for compile
tion of the two bridges at Yankton.
| Congressman Martin presented to
the president today, State Senator
Hanley of Custer, MIR. and Mrs. Bene-
dict Miller and Mrs. Budd of Flan-
dreau, and Mr.. Sherrard of Sioux
Falls.
Congressman Martins bill to estab-
lish mining experimental stations in
mining states was ordered favorably
reported by the committee on mines
and mining today. Mr.. Martin will
write the report, although it will be
made by another member.

On Monday of this week DR.. Hargens
informed the STAR that he had con-

mayor and that we might say so in the
paper. A large number of citizens
have been urging the doctor to become
a candidate and it was in response to
their urgent solicitations that he con-
cluded to be a candidate. This is the
first move made toward the coming
city election. While it is u little early
to agitate matters it is none too early
for people to be considering city
affairs. The doctor served the city for
two terms as mayor in the 9Os and

mend him again.
