The Sane System.

The man who early goes to bed, instead of painting land scapes red assisted by a demi- john, until the rOosters hail the dawn, will rise refreshed al break of day, and sing joyous rounde- lay. His mouth is clean, his eyes are bright, he has a horses ap- petite and to his nav he gaily rakes a half a quirc of buckwheat cakes, and ham and eggs and bread and cheese, and sundry olh- CT things like these. Then to his daily toll he goes, all full of vim, from crown to toes. He works so well his boss observes: "I'm surely mashed upon your curves, and so, beginning with today, TIL add a gullder to your pay" :The man who paints the village red instead of going Co his bed at seven minutes after ten, on walk ing thinks setting hen has used his mouth three weeks OF more {: his eyes are red, his stomach sore. He cannot eat the wholcSoce steak, thes crambled egg or buck wheat cake, but sadly chews a pickled bean and takes a drink of kerosene. He does his task in languid way, and ere he's put in half day, the boss cxclaims: :: "IOu make me tired. Put on your hat and go--you're fired" If you would hold good job down, be wise--Iet t'Others paint the town.

PHOTOGRAPHS.
{ By George Fitch.

A photograph is picture of
 man as he looks when a photog- rapher has balanced him on a
 stiff backed chair and has aimed
 camera at him.
 Photographs are a means of preserving woman's good looks and mans embarrassment for fu- ture generations. A woman will look camera in the eye all day without ilinching if she is sure
 her hair is on straight, but when the ordinary man is ordered to
 have his picture taken he makes
 an engagement with the dentist in order to escape.
 This is because man thinks he
 is modest. But it really is be-
 cause he has no faith in the abil- fly of the photographer to make him as handsome as he would like to be. On the other hand, wo- mans faith in the photographer is only equaled by her faith in the rctoucher.
 Photographs are made by ex- posing glass plate, which is more sensitive tu light than d trust agreement. After this plate has been developed it goes to the hands of a sad-eyed young woman, who puts it in retouch- ing frame and works over the
 ion. She is Sad-ryru because she knows that no matter how shame
 leSsly she improves on nature, the woman who sat for the picture will shake her head when she sees
 it and say: ''Isn't that awful?"
 Photographs once cost S2 a dozen and looked like the sitter regardless of consequences. Now adays, however. photographs are taken by artists, who juggle with lights and shades, and bend the sitter around this way and that until artistic angles are secured. The artist then prints the results on half acre sheet, mounts it in portfolio, signs it ill lead pencil and charges S6 apiece for the prints. They are worth it. too, as long as you don't see the orig inal.
 Photographs are valuable be- cause some day our descendants will dig them out of he attic, just as we have dug out those of our Ancestors. But while we looked at the old tintypes and said, What horrible features the an- clients used to have" our descend- ants will exclaim with delight ov- CT our beauty when they find our pictures, and they will frame us and hang us on the wall beside prints of Helen of Troy and Ap- ollo Belvidere.

Chinese Have Turtle Cure.

The old saw about there being
 nothing new under e sun ap-
 plies even to Dr.. Friedrich Franz Friednann's alleged turtle cure
 for tuberculosis, since a turtle preparation has figured as a spec
 fife in the pharmacopOeia of the Chinese for more than 2,OrN years
 according to William Smith, the turtle dealer who supplies the ho- tel Martinique in New York City Of course the vaccine wrinkle l..
 new neither the ancient nor the modern Chinese physicians pre- pairing their turtle remedy that way the approved form of ad- minlStering it being as a broth. According to Mr. Smith the Chinese name for the medicinal animal is Gum Pen Guny, and it was the fact that so many Chi nese came to his place of buSi- ness to buy turtles, and were will ing to pay almost any price to get them, that led him to inveS- tigate why there was such a de- nland from the yellow race.
 He found that it was a com mon practice to administer tur- tie broth not only for all forms of tuberculosis, but also for stOm- ach disorders and kidney trouble. Mr. Smith asked his celestial GUS toners for letters of recommen- datiOn and testimonials for the alleged "cure," and collected an interesting assortment of docu- ments telling about the wonderful results achieved by administering the. turtle preparation in the dis eases indicated.
 Another point discovered was that the Chinese consider the American turtle far superior med icinally to it's oriental brother, hence the large demand for those grown in the United States. In an interview with one of the high priests the dealer learned that the exact method of preparation was kept a close secret by the Chinese medical fraternity, but that the herbs possessing medicinal value were used in brewing the con- coctiOn.
