Work With Others.

No matter how much enthusiasm,
how much ardor, how much brilliancy
we may have, If 1t Is mlsdirected 1t
cannot help, but it must hinder the
work of the world. Learn to work
with people, not against them. Stand
always for what Is right and against
that which Is wrong, but do not throw
your energy into constant striving
against theories and opinions, and even
actions of others. Let your ardor ana
enthusiasm and your love of life be
constructive. Strive to build up ana
not to tear down, for that Is the way
to help on in the scheme of living.

Phonoaraph in Photography.

A photographer has found a phono-
graph valuable aid in obtaining the
desired facial expression in sub
ject. After studying the face of the
person whose likeness he is to obtain
he decides whether he wishes an ami
mated, reserved, sad or pensive ex-
preston. He then places record in
the phonograph likely to stimulate
the expression desired. For animation
he will play such a tune as 'Dixie,"
while to produce a sad or thoughtful
expression "My Old Kentucky Home"
