Where Do the Cents Ger

Nobody knows what becomes of the
millions on millions of cents that are
minted annually. the production vary.
ing from 25.c00,0Oo to 100000 per
annum. They simply vanish from
sight and are gone forever. The phe.
nomenon seems strange and is not cas-
fly accounted for. People say, ''what
becomes OF all the plns?" That is
easily answered. Pins soon corrode,
and thus are transformed into nothing
that is recognizable. A conper cent. on
the other hand. is indestructible, com
paratiyely speaking. But the solution
of the problem seems to be that cents
are subject to more accidents than any
other coins. They change hands ten
times as often. as dimes. for example,
and, being of small value, they are not
cared for.-Los Angeles Times.

These we're made Of bunalo skins

Bying smaller lodges. while the wealthy
man, he who owned many horses, very
likely had large family and required
larger lodge. The size OF a mans
lodge was to some extent an Indication
Of his wealth. Two horses were need
ed to drag the poles Of a large lodge
and one to carry the lodge itself, three
horses for the transportation OF the
dwelling alone, to say nothing Of the
other property and the different mem
bers Of the family.
A lodge OF moderate size required
eleven skins, and eighteen poles were
needed to set 1t up. A sixteen skin
lodge required twenty-five poles. The
larger the lodge the greater was the
number Of poles needed. From the
fact that they used an unusual number
of poles In setting up their lodges 1t re-
suited that the Cheyennes had well
stretched, nice looking lodges.
The northern Cheyennes declare that
an odd number OF hides was always
used for the best lodges. and the num-
Der might range from eleven to twenty
one. The skins were sewed together
with sinew thread. First. Of course.
the hides must be tanned. the hair re.
moved and the skin softened. Then
the Cheyenne woman held a sewing
bee which was not unlike the bees
of our ancestors in the early days OF
this country. She invited her friends
to come and help her sew her lodge
and provided them with refreshments.
Among them was always one woman
especially skillful in cutting out the
lodges, and she fitted the skins together
before the women began to sew them

HOLDING A CAMERA.
Some Practical Suggestions 10 the Be

Some Practical Suggestions 10 the Be-
5inner In Photography.
One Of the most important lessons
for a beginner TO learnyis to hold the
camera in the proper position during
exposure. Whenever there are corners
of buildings or other objects which
give vertical lines the camera must be
held absolutely level. II this is moi
done. the building in the picture will
appear to be falling either backward
or forward, according to the way in
which the camera was tilted.
There are times, however, when the
camera may be tilted to an advantage.
In some cases 1t is an absolute neces.
sity. For example. in photographs of
clouds, waterfalls, balloons. etc, the
camera may point upward. while in
taking pictures of people swimming
or bathing. children at work or play.
etc, II may be pointed downward.
Very successful photographs OF
prominent speakers. parades. crowds.
ETC.. have been taken when the camera
was upside down. It makes no differ
ence in the negative whether the cam.
era is right side up or not BY holding
the camera In the way suggested many
a photographer has secured. good pic
lures, while others who tried to use
the camera in the usual way made abb
solute failures.
Often by holding the camera by the
side Of the body and pointing 1t back
ward one may secure pictures of chill
dren at play and of older people in
natural poses without the knowledge
of any members OF the group.
Another warning to beginners Is nee
essary. Do not try TO take time ex-
posture while holding the camera in the
hand. Even II the camera is held
against the breast and respiration stop
ped the action OF the heart Is sufficient
to cause the box to yibrate and spoil
