HOLDING A CAMERA.

Some Practical Suggestions to tho Be-
. ginner In Photography.
One Of the most important lessons
for beginner to learn Is 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. If this is not
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 it I'd 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, itamaS W. " sss. deS;wnward. 5ss
Very successful 4 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
photographer has secured good pic
lures, while others who tried to use
the camera in the usual way made alb
soIute failures. ss 3=e
Often by holding the camera by the
side of the body and pointing It 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 If the camera Is held
against the breast and respiration stop.
ped the action Of the heart is sufficient
to cause the box to vibrate and spoil
the picture. Circle Magazine.

Tho Best Dressed Man.

OF course the best dressed man In
the world Is the English gentleman. II
You enter the royal Enclosure at New
market or visit the lawn at Goodwood
on the day Of a classic race; IL you at
tend fashionable orchid or horse show
when some great parsonage presides,
you Will hardly see any one dressed
otherwise than perfectly. But take the
hurrying passengers in the city, on the
street cars. trains or buses. 60 freely
among the men In the street, and you
will share the conviction have arrived
at-namely, that the American is In
general dressed more stylishly and ia
better fitting and better cut clothes. -

INDIAN LODGES.

MONIES Of tho savases In the Days Of
the Buffalo.
While In buffalo days some of the
wild Indians Of the plains occupied per
ananent dwellings during a part Of the
year. There were others who lived Who'll
" In movable lodges.
These were made Of buffalo skins
tanned white and sewed together. They
were Of different sizes, the poor occu-
plying smaller lodges, while the wealthy
man, he who owned many horses, very
likely had a large family and required
a larger lodge. The size of 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 it 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 bestelodges, 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 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 sklllful in cutting out tho
lodges, and she fitted the skins together
before the women began to sew them.

i Liahtnina superstition.

The ancient Romans avoided places
struck by lightning. The houses II
damaged were pulled down or fenced
In SO that no one could use the build
Ing on which the gods had set the mark
Of their displeasure. This feeling was
probably deepened by the fact that cer-
tain localities are visited by. thunder
storms more than others, the wrath Of
Jove descending in white fame time
and again in the same spot And it
was the same superstition, lingering
among Christians In slightly different
form, which made 1t so difficult for
BENJAMIN Franklin to Introduce the
lightning rod, for the pious Americans
Of that day declared that 1T was as
impious to erect rods to ward Off heay-
ems lightning as for child to ward of
the Christening rod of its father"

ZIG WOOD ln Ola uiolin.,.

The woods most favored by the old
masters for violin construction were
pine, pear. lemon, ash, maple and
sycamore. and by some OF the later
men apple was used. Boxwood was
universally employed for bridges.

marriage lis as rare between vioIins
and their bridges as 1t Is between men
and women" He deplores the heart

old ones and insists that new bridge
will never mate perfectly with an old

pairing the, old one as long as 1t can be
made to last Circle Magazine.

Tho Saxon ciosg, Whence Comes the
Marie "Almanae."
In these days, when printed calendars
are in evidence everywhere, the ques-
ton as to what device the elder folk
Employed to help them mark the prog
ress Of time Is not uninteresting.
saThey," says Verstegan, abiding to
the Saxons, FUSED to engraye upon
certaine squared sticks about q foot in
length, or shorter or longer, as they
pleased, the courses of the incomes Of
the whole yeere, whereby they could
alwaies certainly tell when the new
incomes, full incomes and changes
should happen, as also their festival
daies, and such carved stick they
called an al-mon- aght-that is to say,
aI-mon-heed, to wit, the record or OBJ
servation Of all the incomes, and hence
Is derived the name almanac"
An instrument OF this kind was also
called the clogg, from its form and
matter, and had ring on the upper
end Of It to hang on nail somewhere
about the house. On each Of the four
sides were three months. the days be-
ing represented by notches. Every
seventh notch, being Of larger size,
represented Sunday. Issuing from
the right side Of the notches were In

The Danes, Swedes and Norwegians
used these almanacs under various
names, such as ReinstOcks, Runstocks,
Runstaffs, Aniiales, Slaves, Stakes.
Cloggs, Runici, and SO forth. Before
printing was introduced and when
manuscripts were rare and dear these
Runic almanacs were made the instru-
ments OF instruction and regularity.
That they might be more serviceable
they were often carved on the tops Of
pilgrims slaves or stakes SO as to
regulate their time Of assembling at
particular places. They were also cut
on sword scabbards and implements OF
husbandry. These cloggs are not en-.
ttrely unlike the Egyptian obelisks,

species Of almanac. IS .s5 ssa:

C. F. Weller, secretary of the Associated
Charities. revealed some conditions under
which the other half lives. and made
stirring appeal for cooperative aid. IN an
address before a number of Washington
men at the Y. NJ c. A. yesterday after
noon. Illustrating his lecture with stereop-
ticon views. Mr.. Weller showed the work
which is being done by his organization
and the various methods which were en-
ployed. He explained what is meant by
adequate assistance" defining it as not
so much giving intermittent and gratui-
tous aid. as by placing the recipients in
position to aid themselves.
A number Of statistics, showing the
great number Of visits made by the So
cietys agents and the assistance afforded
by voluntary contributions, We're thrown
on the screen. Several pathetic cases
were particularly described, and the man
ner IN which the difficulties were over
come. 10 the great credit OF the Organiza-
ton. was outlined.
Account of Expenditures.
A careful account of the expenditures
both OF money and energy. has been kept
/ by the Associated Charities and its
books show that $4,000 year IS spent
on the poor Of the city. while an enormous
number Of visits are made
Mr.. Weller showed that one-twenty-
! second OF the population of Washington
was aided during the year 1906 by the
organization. and he said that the great
est need Of the society at present is a
number Of charitable Volunteers TO carry
on the work. He expressed the opinion
that cOmpani0nship ard example were
distinctly greater bOOng 10 the poor than
PecuniaTy help, and gave several in
stances which demonstrated the appllca-
ton of his theory.
In regard 70 the children Of the poor,
he furnished data which showed that
hundreds Of them who might have grown
up ignorant were sent 10 the public
schools from sWeatshops and other kinds
Of labor, while their parents were given
employment suited 10 their abilities. The
cause for the poverty and want OF the
city were also illustrated by statistics,
and demonstrated that sickness, weak
ness, ignorance. and desertlon, were
