PHOTOGRAPHY AND FINE ART.
Camera Pictures Much More Than Me
 chanicaI 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 to-day 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 ob- served with such unerring fidelity and skill by mechanical eye. Compost tion 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 ef feet nnanced.-Home Magazine.

6A8Y'S AWFUL HUMOR.
Thin Skin Formed O'er Body and Un der 1t Was Watery Biood-Cured in
 One Week by Cuticura Remedies.

When my little girl baby was one week old she had a skin disease. A thin skin formed over her body and under it was watery blood, and when she was washed it would burst and break. She was in that condition for weeks, and tried everything 1 could think of but nothing did her any good. When she was three months old I took her to San Antonio to sec a doctor, but the doctor we wanted to see was not at home, so my sister gave me a cake of Cuticura Soap and half box of Cuticura Ointment, and told me to use them, which I did in time. 1 used them three times, and the humor began to fade, and in one week she was sound and well, and it has never returned since. I think every mother should keep the Cuti- cura Remedies in the house. Mrs. H. Aaron, Benton, Texas, July 8, 1905."

High Position for Admiral.

Rear Admiral Willard H. Brownson, who has just taken command of the American naval forces in the East, will, it is understood, soon be recalled to take what has become to be regard ed as the most important post in the navy-namely, chief of the bureau of navigation. Admiral Brownson would, in the usual course, be placed on the retired list next year on account of old age, but owing to his excellent physical and mental condition it is un- derstood he will continue at the head of the navigation bureau at least dur ing the present administration.

 In 1s43 she married Isaac Pinkham, a builder and real estate operator. and their early married life was marked by prosperity and happiness. They had four children, three sons and a 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 perience many of them gained a won derful knowledge of the curative prop critics of the various roots and herbs
 Mrs. Pinkham took a 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

Pink 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 a labor of love.
 But in 1873 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- nial 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.

increasing Age of Heroines

The age of the heroine in novels" we are told, has been steadily going up. There was time when the young girl of 17 or 20 was the only possible heroine of romance. Now she may figure in a story, but it will be more as side character than as the lead ing lady There are doubtless fash. ions in these things. The ugly he. roine came in about the middle of the
 asst century. She is now, poor girl, no more. She flourished with the ugly hero, which was surely rather hard fortune for both of them. The thought of procession of aged her pines seems to suggest a deeper seri- ousness than we have been used to. That, however, may do us no harm.

NEW YEARS CALLS.
A New Drink to Replace the Cld-Tirne
 "AppleJack."

Twenty-Five years ago the custom of making New Years calls was de- lightful one for all concerned, until some of the boys got more "egg-nog' or "apple-jack" than they could sue cessfully carry.
 Then the ladies tried to be charit- able and the gentlemen tried to be as chivalrous as ever and stand up at the same time.
 If anyone thinks there has not been considerable improvement made in the last quarter of a century in the use of alcoohlic beverages, let him stop to consider, among other things, the fact that the old custom of New Year s calls and the genteel tippling is nearly obsolete.
 The custom of calling on ones friends, however, at the beginning of the new year, is good habit, and an other good habit to start at that time is the use of well-made Postum in stead of coffee or spirits.
 A Staten Island doctor has sen sible' daughter who has set Postum D6lOFe uSF SueSto do d 6Oou IhiA6 ee drink at Yule Tide, and good way to begin the New Year. Her father writes:
