In particularly large quantities near

Another amanita (Amanita vernus),
found in the woods In spring. is also
very poisonous and may be told by
its color, which is creamy white

Although It Is said that the amanitas
are the only mushrooms which have
proved fatal to human life, there are
other varieties which cause such acute
distress that 1t Is well to guard against
eating them.
The boleti fnr instnnca have several
varieties which are nonedible, although
many kinds, on the other hand, make
delicious food. The boleti are distin-

The harmful varieties are bitter, as q

Why You Should Let the Photosra-
pher Do the Posing.
II always hate to have my picture
taken. because I have such a horrid
long neck" said the woman petulantly
as she entered the photographers gal
lery.
He smiled sympathetically. "Wait
till you see the picture take" he re-
piled. "You won't know your own
neck, so to speak. No, It isn't in re.
touching. but l always pose long
necked subject lower than the camera,
and the neck shortens up. That's only
one of the tricks of the trade. The
hatchet faced man pose looking
straight into the camera in a full
light. His face seems to broaden and
become more fleshy in this pose. The
person with fat round face l place
so that soft shadows veil either side
of the face, which has n tendency to
make the features more clear cut and
handsome.
IL often have subjects with crooked
noses. Now, n crooked nose should be
frankly attacked-that is, the camera
should be pointed directly at the crook,
which reduces 1t. If took 1t from the
side the deformlty would be exaggerat-
ed a hundredfold.

having their pictures taken IL they will

One Theory of the Origin of This

One Theory of the Origin of This
Badge of Disgrace.
did you ever stop to think about
the origin of the stripes we use in our
prisons?" said man with an eye for
the curious. "If you have not, it will
not take you long to figure the thing
out If you happen to know anything
about the Bible.
For instance, in the laws and ordi-
nances of Deuteronomy we find the
following, which will give us the clew
to the origin of the stripes as a badge
of infamy: If there be controversy
between men and they come unto judg-
ment that the judges may Judge them,
then they shall Justify the righteous
and condemn the wicked. And it shall
be If the wicked man be worthy to be
beaten that the Judge shall cause him
to lie down and to be beaten before
his face, according to his fault, by q
certain number. Forty stripes he may
give him and not exceed; less If he
should exceed and beat him above
these with many stripes; then thy
brother should seem vile unto thee
"Now instead of in1icting these phys
ical stripes we put striped clothes on
the men who offend the law or who
may come unto Judgment that the
judges may judge them, as it is put in
the text. OF course you could go much
further back in history If you cared to
trace the origin Of marks Of infamy,

nearly every standpoint this phalarope,
like all other species of its class, Is
an anomaly among the birds. Ap-
ptrently land bird, 1t has partially

and graceful swimmer. The female Is
the larger and handsomer of the pair.

our point Of view. Two or three Idle,

DECEMBER NUMBER
WOMEN WHO PAINT MINIATURES

"OMEN WHO FAINT MlNlATUR RES.
The New Idea Woman's Magazine
for December contains an article of
some pages in length concerning the
painting of miniatures by American
women artists. In America, women
appear to have led in this branch of
art, which dates from the time of
Charles 1. Interesting accounts are
given of the leading American women
miniature painters, amongst whom
are Miss Laura G. Hills, Miss Ethel
Blanchard, Miss Martha Baker, Miss
Magda Heuerman and Miss Anna
Lynch. Miss Hills, who "has won
the reputation of being the best Am
erican miniature painter of the present
day." was trained at the Art S I'D
ents' League in New York and the
Art School in Boston. "She began
her career as an artist by designing
Christmas cards and valentines. Af-
ter having gained experience in these
lines she worked with pastels, her
pastels including figures and land
scapes. Her work was characterized
by rich coloring and great depth of
feeling, and began to attract the at
tention of many able critics, but she
was not satisfied here. She wanted a
finer method of coloring than pastels,
so took up the small brush. In the
beginning her orders were small, but
she was willing to make the sacrifice
in order to realize her ambitions. Af-
ter working quietly for a few years,
she began to exhibit at a Boston gal
lery, and it was not very long before
her name became know as a miniature
artist at home and abroad
