SUGGESTIONS FOR AMATEUR
PHOTOGRAPHY.

Few things are more puZZling to
the ahmateur photographer than to de-
termine the length of tine to give an
interior exposure" says Woman's
Home Companion for November.
THE following hints were given the
writer by skilful professional, and
have enabled him to obtain some
very fine negatives with no waste.
First focus carefully with open
lens next put in your smallest stop.
then cover your head with the dark
cloth and look on the ground glass.
You will probably see only very
dim view. or even only a spot of
light If the room is dark. Note the
exact time on your watch, and then
cover your head up again and watch
the entire picture upon it, even To
the Shadows 1t will surprise the
amateur to see the length of time it
takes one to see the entire picture
in this manner, but the eye gradually
becomes accustomed to the light and
in one minute, as rule, one can dis
| tinguish the entire picture. Then
multiply the time by four, and that
will give you the time in minutes to
! make your exposure. For example
| IL your time was one and one-hal1
minutes, you exposure should be just
four times one and one-half, which
equals six minutes"

THERE WERE TWO 10 SEE.

Two boys were one day walking
along the street together. One OF
them had just come out of > store,
where he had bought some things
for his mother. While waiting for
the clerk to get them for him, he
had stood beside . large basket OF
fine ripe pears.
why did you not pocket some OF
those nice pears?" asked the other
boy, who had stood In the door and
seen the fine chance he had TO help
himself There was no one to see
you
Yes, there were two persons TO
see me, even IL you had not been
there. I was there TO see myself. and

IL had stolen: and God was there

knelt down and said, Our Father
who art in heaven IL l had taken
what did not belong TO me?"

The following is reproduced at the
request of Confederate soldier, and
a subscriber to this paper:
In far too many instances father"
and mother" are giving way to ''the
old man" and "the old woman" for
whom the kids" seem to have but
little of the warm filial love and
beautiful filial respect that used to
characterize the child's feeling to-
ward the parents.
A boy should treat his mother with
a heartfelt, uniform kindness. He
should strive to love her with all his
heart and soul and strength, and to
love her that way right along.
Once a mother always mother is
the word that every son should thor
oughly believe in.
The mother may sin, for she is hui
man, but she can commit no sin so
rank and monstrous as would be COM
mitted by the son who, in her sin and
sorrow, would desert her.
In saying that boy should love
his mother, say all that it is possible
to say; for to love ones mother is
to be kind to her, to be respectful to
her, to study her comfort and peace,

THOSE PIES OF BOYHOOD.

HOW A MOOSE EATS.

Of all peculiar sights l think that
of a moose eating grass is the
most extraordinary. The neck is SO
short and the legs are so long that
the animal usually kneels in eating
grass. True, they do not attempt it
very often, for grass is by no means
a staple with them; but even a moose
likes a change of diet. The appear
ance of these huge and awkward
creatures in this devotional attitude
is not only interesting but laughable.
