Th l.alr Mr. Saroar'. JIverttta.d.
of Photoaraiiliiaa:.
The late Mr. Surony, the well-known
photographer, of Now York, pave the
camera aomethiiiK of tho freedom of
the pencil or t he brush, and in his bands
it did almottt anything he pleaaed, says
an exchange. In many ways, it is said,
ho was ren 1 1 j' a caricaturist. His poses
were something eoodd that the picture
atoned like a travesty on nature. For
this reason hoexcelled iu'theatrlcal por
traiture. Hut his sitters had to yield
him implicit obedience, and when it
failed ho refused to "take them" any
more. This made even popular act resses
submivsive. One of his favorite devices
was to take them by surprise. "Arc
you ready to do my picture?" said Mr.
Iilalne, wben he had been: chatting in
the jit.uiilo for some time, and, as he
thought, awaiting for the instrument,
"It is done," said Rairony tho snupsljot
had been tired just as the sitter had
reached the elliuox of a capital story.
This, he said, was the highest reach of
the art "tho true pose is not a po.e.
but a natural position." lie was but an
amateur in- photography until he lost
the fortune which he lind made in busi
ness. He quickly recovered it. by his
originality and his consequent success,
lie was horn in Quebec; he had a studio,
tor a time, in Birmingham, but New
.York was his happy hunting ground.
The temperature of dining-rooms is
frequently too high. H is a common
thing for sonants to neglect airing the
room and attending to the temperature.
Probably the majority of people would
namo 70 Fahrenheit tho proper heat for
the room, but this ia much too high. An
authority in this matter says that 60
Is none too low, and a parson who has
suffered from the discomfortof an over
heated room Is likely to agree with him
after making a trial of different temper
atures. N. S', Tribune. .
