For the Camera Fiend.

Thirty years ago camera was a
rarity. The enthusiast who possessed
one carried mountain Of traps afield
and smothered in a tent during bis
tedious manipulation of the wet plates
Last year the United States alone made
100000 caremas, working with the
mere pressure Of a bulb or button, and
the Photographic business reached the
respectable commercial total of $780,.
100000.
Such figures. too. do not event hint
at the true extension Of this use OF

Of anything the eye can see. If one
were to tell an ordinary business man
that photography has a more pervad
ing influence on his daily life than any
other one discovery of which we have
an authentic record he would prob
ably be highly incredulous. Yet it II
an indisputable fact.

Growers Dog"

Rover is red setter, and he usually
lies on the front porch. He does not
like other dogs, and If they stop at the
gate or poke their noses through the
fence Rover runs down and barks
fiercely at them.
One day Philip was looking out Of
the window, and he saw very small
black dog crawl under the gate. Rover
was on the porch, and lifted his head,
but did not even growl as the little dog
trotted up the path. The little dog
went directly past Rover, and came up
to the window where Philip stood, and
put his little paws up against the glass
and whined.
20 mama" called Philip, come and
see this little black dogw
Mama came and looked out. 1--WE
must send it right away" she said, and
shooed the little dog off the porch and
out of the yard. Rover did not growl.
He looked quite Indifferent and as if 1t
were no concern Of his.
When Philip went into the back yard
to play that afternoon he found the lit
tie black dog was there, and sharing
Royer's dinner. Rover did not seem to
take any notice of the strange little
dog. Philip drove the little dog out
Of the back yard. and Rover went back
10 the front porch.
When papa came home at night the
uttlo black dog was sitting beside Ro-

Some Queer Dancers.

Far down in Africa, the other side
Of the equator, live the jolly Aponos.
They are IN honest, light-headed set
Of savages, who for several months of
the year do nothing but dance, sing and
drink palm wine. When the season is
over they settle down to their ordinary
pursuits. They have many dances
which would seem strange to an Amer
lean girl or boy, but the weirdest dance
Of all is performed upon stills, and Is
called ocuya or giant dance. The ocuya
is an object made Of wicker work with
an enormous head Of wood. There is
no word hideous enough to describe the
ugliness of this ocuya. 1t has out
stretched wooden arms and monkey
skins form the hair and beard, while a
long skirt Of grass cloth hides the silt
walker, who places this grotesque mon
ster over himself. The arms are kept
outstretched, and thus costumed the
dance proceeds, sometimes hundreds of
the Aponos taking part in it at once.

would not 60 farther than the gate.
The next morning he was back again,
and shared Rover's breakfast, and
when Rover went to the porch for his
morning nap, the little black dog sta
toned himself at the gate, looking very
smart and alert. He barked at every
dog which ventured near. and barked
at peddlers, looking over his shoulder
at Rover now and then, as if to say,
'See what a help l am. doing all your
barking for you!" and Rover "whoofed"

English in the Mountains.

Last summer some persons from the
North were spending month In the
mountains Of West Virginia in a log
cabin on the mountain side. One morn
Ing as they sat on tile porch admiring
the view, little mountain girl in short
blue calico dress and bright pink sun
bonnet bounced round the side of the
cabin.
'Howdy!" she said. Nanny wants
to know If you-all don't want a poke
Of snapples this mohning."
"A what" the Northerners asked, in
amazement.
"A poke Of snapples," sissy repeated.
Then, evidently overcome with shy
ness. she darted through the under
brush before the newcomers could de-
eide whether or not they wanted a
poke Of snapples.'
The expression got into the systems
Of the visitors, until curiosity made one
Of them take her way to the little farm
house.
Il will take poke OF snapples,
please" she said, fearing all the while
the mountain woman would laugh in
her face or think her an escaped luna
tic
But very gravely the woman disap-
peared, and soon returned, handing the
caller bag Of string beans. The beans,
which snap In the fingers, are called
"snapples" by the mountaineers and
poke" which is good old word for
bag that has survived from the Shak-
spearean English of the early English
settlers.

A Busy Day.
Ny papa has little sign,
Printed in black and gray;
It's only just a single line:
"This Is My Busy Day"
And sometimes when creep to look.
He's writing with a pen;
Or quietly reading in book
He calls that busy then.
Why, when I'm busy just race
Downstairs; then, like as not
I dy back to the other place
For something l forgot.
Then 1 slide down the banisters,
And from the porch l spring
perhaps l tumble in the burs)
Then 60 and take a swing.
And then race Jack Smith to town,
Or climb the garden wall;
And though I'm sure to tumble down,
Nobody minds a fall.
But If sat still in a chair,
Il wouldn't be my way
To say, with such important air:
This Is My Busy Day.

Strike in a HOSPITAL
