GRAFT IN THE ANTILLES.

In "The Isles Of Spice and Palm
fAppletion) the author, 4. Hyatt Yer
rill. tells Of an amusing experience
which he had on one of his photograph
ing trips on Barbados. The natives
there entertain very peculiar super
stitions regarding the camera, declaring
that it takes something away from
them which they can never recover.
Because Of this Mr.. Nerrill found II re
quired considerable tact and patience
10 secure many Of the photographs
which illustrate his book. Two very
picturesque negroes tempted him 10
brave any danger TO himself or TO his
camera. but no amount Of persuasion
could get these men into "a picture After
trying several days 20 accomplish what
seemed about 10 prove 30 be tho i'm
possible. M Norrll appealed 10 a pc
iiceman as the person most likely 20 be
able 10 offer solution Of the problem.
This individual was very much alive 20
the possibilities Of the situation, and
promptly asked how much 10 was worth
10 the subjects" Mr.. Nerrill offered a
shilling apiece for the men and another
10 the policeman Whereupon the po-
liceman promptly arrested the two,
stood them up against wall and told
VerriU to 20 ahead After the picture
was taken the policeman released the
"prisoners,' pocketed the shllllngs ana
departed.
