Cunning Of the Camera.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
While the testimony of the camera has
been admitted in court proceedings it
must be acknowledged that as evidence it
is not always reliable. There may not be
trickery in all trades, but there certainly
is an opportunity for a good deal Of in
senious deception in the harmless-look-
ing camera when skillfully handled. The
once amazing spirit photograph has been
crowded aside as a tame and simple
trick Many other forms of Photographic
cleverness have been used and amplified
since the day Of the shadoWy spook IN the
BACKGROUND In Pittsfeld, Mass. the
other night a photographer made a very
interesting experiment along this line. He
effected a consolidation Of those hitherto
Independent legislative bodies. the alder
men and councilmen. and threw In the
Pittsfield mayor and the city clerk and
two reporters and a messenger for good
measure. The photograph Is double
fiashlight on the same plate. the officials
appearing in two groups that apparently
merge in one. It is, in fact. a photograph
times and in different rooms. and on a
single plate The likenesses are pro-
nounced excellent, each face coming out
distinctly in the composite municipal
grouping.
The success Of this singular experiment
will have q tendency to cast renewed
doubt upon the accuracy of the camera as
an unsupported witness. If the question
of joint session of the municipal leg
islative bodies Of this town Of Pittsneid
ever arose the photograph would seem to
prove conclusively that such a joint ses-
sion was held, the evidence Of the records
to the contrary notwithstanding. For
even the purity of a ray Of sunshine-or
its chemical imitation-may be degraded
into an adjunct of deception by the photo
juggler.

Education In Argentina.
From the Ohio State Journal

From the Ohio state Journal.
Argentina is regarded as one of the
most progressive nations of the earth
1t is making great strides along all lines
of civilization. Whether paying their
school teachers good salaries is a cause
or consequence OF this progress it NAV
not be easy to say, but the fact is that
the school teaching business is put first
Of all duties. They do not pay out their
revenues for all sots of things and di-
vide up what is left among the teach.
erS.
The teachers pay is placed first, and
after certain length of service he is
put on the retired list and his paw goes
on till the end of his life 1t is said
there are men and women in the United
states today who spent long years in
school teaching in Argentine who now.
IN thelr old age. are paid liberal annual
sums In recognition of the work thew
did in the South American country. "A
high as $1,000 is paid to these faithful
teachers. The close of thirty-year
service that marks teachers entrance
on the retired list is made a great event.
greater than the opening of an expo
sitlon or the inauguration of a governor
Such a high estimate of education must
necessarily make Argentina a fine coun-
try. This very fact accounts for its
great advancement.
There is much growing about our
schools, but if that growing was
changed to an effort to advance the pay
of the average teacher and to encourage
him in his work by public expression OF
appreciation the effect OF educational
work here would be as great as it Is in
this South American republic The only
way out of the disparity is for the people
who appreciate educational duty to COM
bine and vote for no man, who Is not q
practical friend of school progress, and
of making education something more
than the dregs Of public policy.

SUMMER VEGETABLES.
Complaint That They Are Not so
Good as Mother Made.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
With each recurring summer we re-
ceive the advice Of wise persons to eat
less meat and live mainly upon vegeta-
bles. The advice is sound but unsatis-
Tying. There are two principal difficult
ties in the way OF it's adoption in the
average American household. The first
difficulty is to get the vegetables and
the second is to cook them. One might
gladly abandon beef for a course of
"haricots verts." but 1t needs a French
cook and French market gardener to
produce them. Unless one be million
aire, he will have imposed on him In
stead an unmerciful dish of string
beans The very name is offensive.
The fine art of cooking vegetables has
never been highly developed In this
country. but the fine art of raising fresh
vegetables or bringing them to market,
lost. Think Of the fresh young green
peas that used to be brought into town
In the early morning from nearby gar
dens. You never see them now. unless
you have unlimited wealth and can
support a garden Of your own. Peas are
distant region. They are not gathered
until fully grown. almost ripe enough
to be used for seed. The baskets pass
through many hands. and the yellow
pods are well withered before they
reach the final purchaser. The peas
rattle like bullets In the pan, and they
are like bullets when they come to the
table, unless boiled to porridge. No
cookery can restore their youth.
The beans are a still greater abomi-
nation In the Paris streets you will
see barrows heaped up with delicious
green things, soft and succulent. scarce
thicker than a thread. These the cook
knows how to prepare and serve In va
rious ways. all equally tempting to the
appetite. Here, at a very high-priced
hotel that has its own sources Of sup
ply, you may once in a long while come
upon real "haricots verts." but you will
seldom find them in the market. Our
farmers wait till the beans are formed
and the pods are hard and tough. and
the cook could not make them fit for
human food even II she knew how, as
usually she does not
The wise persons who wish to encour-
age a vegetable diet need to devise some
means by which people can get their
vegetables fresh. without waiting for
them to be brought from Georgia or
California losing all their sweetness on
the way. Most housekeepers find canned
vegetables the best, because they are
usually fresh when they are put up, and
are much more like the real thing than
the leftovers that are sent to market.
There is no country in the world that
has such a variety of garden STUFF as
we have, and none that uses 1t to less
advantage. It is not a theory that con-
fronts us; It Is a condition.

English Rural Labor.

From English Country Life.
In parts of the West Country. where
hay harvest and other harvests are early
there is already complaint about short
age of labor for the work. One of the
reasons alleged for the lack Of laborers Is
that the women take so much less part
than they used to take in the labor Of
the fields.
