-" 1 I i P. vi ymm ljps As a preventive of fog when pyro-soda is being employed, end an excess of alkali has been necessitated to overcome under-exposure, the addition of soap to the developer has been recommended by a high authority. Of course, in the first place, the purity of the soap to be used must be ensured, and for this reason castlle soap, which can always be obtained from a pharmaceuti cal chemist In satisfactory condition, may be named. . From two to three grammes of the soap having been rubbed down In a mortar with water, the solution Is made up to 150 cubic centimeters. This solution Is used instead of water In compounding the developer. As an example of Its use the following particulars may be given: In developing a half-plate, sumcienfof the soap water to cover the plate Is poured into the diRh, then add 10 drops of Nos. 1 and 2 or 3 drops of No. 2. The solutions referred to as No. 1 and No. 2 are as follows: No. 1. Pyrogalllc acid, 8 parts; alcohol, 50 parts; glycerine, 8 parts No- 2. Water, 60 parts; sulphite of sodium, 12 parts; soda, 5 parts; glycer ine, 10 parts. Compared with bromide papery, platlnotype is singularly free from those mysterious stulns and marks which so often make their appearance upon the high lights, but yellow stains do occur occasionally, and are due either to the use of dirty developer 1. e., developer which has been used too often to the employment of commercial muriatic acid in place of pure hydrochloric, or to the Insufficient Immersion of the print in the acid bath. To prevent staining with old developer, and yet not throw the oxalate solution away after It has been once URed, have two bottles, one containing the fresh oxalate solution away after It has been onceu Red, have two bottles, one containing the fresh oxalate of potash, the other empty, and put a funnel and filter in the neck of the empty bottle. Then, after each print Is developed, the developer Is poured through the fllterinto the new bottle, instead of mixing with and discoloring the clean solution. When bottle No. 1 Is empty No. 2 will lie full, when the process will be reversed, the filter removing each time the dirty green sediment. Marks also occur In platlnotype prints as a result of placing them to dry upon a dirty surface,' the highly absorbent paper soaking up stains, such as Ink or coloring matter. Only white blotting paper, perfectly clean, should, therefore, be used for this purpose. Marks due to dirty fingers, dust', etc., are best removed by clean India rubber, light friction being used. Black spots, due to pinholes in the negative, can be picked out with a needle, the minute hole being afterward smoothed over with India rubber. Amateur Photographer. THE 8EASON3. When comes spring? When blithest the robins sing, And the violot hut her hour? Not till the heart's In flower Is It spring. When enmes June? At the time of the thrush's tune, Of all beauties below and above? When reddens the rose of love, Theu come June. Autumn's when? When grasses rasp In the fen, And the face of the field Is wan! When joys are faded, gone, Autumn's then. Winter hoar, Comes he with the storm-wind's roar And all lorn Nat lira's ruth? 'TIs winter when love and youth Are no nurre. Century. H'M convinced that matchmaking Is not my forte," remarked young Mrs. Canby, as she and her caller talked over the events of the last sum mer. "Why, did you try your hand at that dangerous occupation?" "Well, I suppose every woman has the fever some time or other. My at- HE BEF.MKD QUITE IMPItKSSKD. tack came on In August, when Lucy Owlngs was visiting tne at Hecniore cottage. You know she Is an orphan. I have thought for a long time that she ought to marry and have a home of her own, instead of living with her guardian and his cranky housekeeper. It occurred to me that she and that young Everett were Just suited to each other. I concluded that if they could only be together for a time they would become engaged. So I sent blm an in vitation to come for a week or two to beemore cottage. "When I told Lucy that he was com ing she seemed very much startled, Bhe asked, at once, 'Why, how did you happen to Invite him?' "She looked at me so searchlngly that I feared she saw through my lit tle plan and I was quite embarrassed. "I couldn't teU whether was matmr pleased or displeased at the Idea of his coining. When thoy met their greeting was ho stiff and formal that I began to think they disliked eaco other. But I reflected that if they did it would be all the more credit to me if I made them see each other's good qualities. "The first evening young Everett was there he and I sat on the porch after Lucy and the children had gone upstairs. I took the opportunity to tell him my opinion of Lucy. Of course, I had sense enough not to bore hlra by gushing over her charms. I Just re marked in an off-hand way that I thought it remarkable that a girl who had received so much attention should not be spoiled. I said, too, that any man who wanted her would have to look sharp, for she had too many ad mirers to be easily won. He seemed quite Impressed and said that he had always understood her to be a very popular girl. "I was afraid that I had said too much, so I added that I was sure the right man needn't despair of getting her. He glanced at me keenly, and I felt that I had already awakened his Interest in her by my Judicious re mark. "Well, without making it too mark ed, I tried to leave them alone together as much as possible. I gave them the use of the boat and pony trap, and warned the children not to follow them about. But they didn't appear to get on well together, and I began to think they would never come to an understanding. They treated each oth er with a formally that was almost coldness. Any effort on my part to put them on easier terms seemed to send them both Into a panic. I began to believe that there was a strong an tipathy between them, and I regretted that I had ever thought of having them at the cottage together. "While in this state of mind I went out to our little summer house one evening with a lantern to look for a book I hnd left there. To my un bounded surprise I found It occupied iy Lucy and young Everett. Lucy had gone to her room early In the evening and young Everett was, I sup posed, smoking on the side porch. They sprang away from each other, and looking very guilty and embar rassed, got Into the farthest opposite .corners of the tiny house. " "I tried to appear unaware of any thing unsual, but Lucy began to cry and young Everett looked so uncom fortable thnt I asked rather brusquely, perhaps, 'What's the matter with you two Innocents?' " 'We are mar married, and we didn't want anyone to know it,' sobbed Lucy. " 'Married! I cried. " 'Yes, married,' said young Everett, omlng out of bis corner. 'There Is no reason why every one shouldn't know It. We were married in Michigan the week before Lucy came up here, but she didn't want It known until the match had her guardian's approval. You know he went to Europe and left her with that fussy old housekeeper. Do you wonder thnt I made her marry me?' " 'You've been so good to us,' said Lucy. 'I wns almost sure you had guessed our secret. If you had only known It, what a lovely time we could have had!' she sighed. "Weren't you Indignant?" asked the caller. "What did you do?" "I Just asked them to stay another week and have a real honeymoon. While they were there a kind message came from Lucy's guardian, and so we bad the marriage announced in the newspapers. I think they'll be happy ever after, but I can't flatter myself that I made the match." Chicago News, "MANY HAPPY RETURNS." The Formal Dinner Party Waa In Honor of a. Birthday. Judge Edgell hurried into his house as usual at half-past six, threw off his coat, washed his hands and hastened into the dining room. At the threshold be recoiled in surprise. A blaze of light dazzled him. The best silver and glass were laid out. Candles burned at the four corners of the ta ble. Cut flowers filled the room with a fragrance that extinguished the usual smell of cooked food. At the table his wife bloomed like a young girl. Her best gown of white voile trimmed with, lace her mother's wedding lace showed her fine throat uiid aims. Ills little daughter snt with the self-conscious smile of party cor rectness, wearing blue ribbons on her "pigtails," and his son beamed be hind a great deal of glistening shirt front. His older daughter was busy giving a last touch to the sideboard. She was the most serious of all in her grave offlclousness. "Goodness! Well! What! Who's coming? Have I forgotten a dinner engagement? The Bryces aren't com ing till next week." "Thte week after next," corrected his daughter, soberly. "Then who? What? My, what a handsome spread!" "Daddy," observed the youth in the white shirt, "I thought Judges never got surprised at anything, and here you are like a minister at a slipper party." "My son," said Mrs. Edgell, "you are not quite old enough to make com ments of that sort on your parents. Charles," she said, turning to her hus band with a cool but gentle smile, "you need not dress; there is not time. This Is rather a special event, but I will not explain until dessert. Sit down, dear, and enjoy it with us." Judge Edgell's training as a lawyer taught him not to ask futile questions of his wife. He sat down, ate one good thing after another, admired his wife, talked with his son about foot ball and school, and came completely out of the abstraction Into which the lingering memory of cases In court sometimes plunged him during meals. When angel cake and colored Ice creams came In, the handsome lady across the table smiled and said: "Charles, Don Carlos" It was the name she had used playfully In their youthful courtship, and threw him back twenty-five years "Don Carlos, this is a birthday celebration." "Oh, it Isn't mlno, mama," came from the little girl. "I had two last winter." "No, my dear, It is mama's." "Mama's!" cried Judge Edgell. Then, as his son would have said, he "tumbled." Everybody, he certainly, had forgotten the dear lady's birth day. The self-contained If not vener able Justice left his seat, strod round to his wife and kissed her heartily. The woman glowed. The elder daugh ter brushed away a tear. Seeing the tear, the small daughter began to cry. Mr. Edgell looked distressed, and his more manly son pooh-poohed at the fuss. "That's a nice way to end a good dinner!" "My boy," quoth "the father, "it Is a good way to end a dinner which has In it a little repentance, and It Is a good way to begin now for other din ners, about one a year. No, we won't wait a year. This one does not count. To-morrow night we'll have a real birthday celebration for mother, and she shall not have to superintend It. We'll have a caterer to do the Job. It is a poor stick of a husband who makes his wife get up her own birth day celebration." Youth's Companion. The Table of Precedence. A clever old lady who went much Into society in the days when conver sation was of more Importance at a dinner than the cooking asked a niece on her return from a recent function If it had been enjoyable. "Very," replied the niece. "The menu was great!" "My dear," said the old lady, severe ly, "It isn't the menu that makes a good dinner. It Is the men you sit next to." A Good Memory.

Spendltt Flercel I remembor it perfectly 1 Puck, ORE Whenever a sore or ulcer does not heal, no matter on what part of the body it may be, it is because of a poisoned condition of the blood. This Ioison may be the remains of some constitutional trouble ; the effect of a long spell of sickness, which has left this vital stream polluted and weak or because the natural refuse matter of the body, which should pass off through the channels of nature, has been left in the system and absorbed into the circulation. It does not matter how the poison became intrenched in the blood, the fact that the sore is there and does not heal is evidence of a deep, underlying cause. There is nothing that causes more discomfort, worry and anxiety than a festering, discharging old sore that resists treat ment. The very sight of it is abhorrent and suggests pollution and disease besides the time and attention required to keep it clean and free from other infection. As it lingers, slowly eating deeper into the surrounding flesh, the "rer ?ow9. morbidly anxious, fearing it may be cancerous.

THE SWIFT Lawyers. I have seen something of legal prac tice on both sides of the Atlantic, and my opinion is that our profession would gain immenely by combining the two branches pretty much as they are combined in the United States and Canada, says a writer In the London Saturday lteview. It Is obvious that the solicitors would profit by such an agreement. They would have the right of audience In an courts and the op portunity to qualify themselves for promotion to the bench. In America the young lawyer goes Into an office, where he makes bis merit known by steady attention to business. There will always be two kinds of lawyers those who stay in their offices, dealing directly with cli ents and attending to matters of rou tine, and those who advise on points of law and argue cases in court. These two orders of men are clearly distigulshed in America, but they work together as partners to the great advantage of the client Never Smiled Again.

The sublime candor of the above advertisement which appeared In a recent Issue of the London Times hns caused some amusement and attracted a great deal of attention among busi ness men, says the I-ondon Express. Many declared that "I. V." was practical joker; others that .1e had definite object in view whea he made himself out to be a fool. Tout this latter solution was the cor rect one an Express representative learned yesterday from "I. P." him self. His object, he said, whs to at tract the attention of employers by going out of the beaten track. "I. F.," who is about 27 years old, Is rather more ak-rt and intelligent than the average man with an ordi nary public school education, and hi face Is a particularly honest one. "I thought If I said exactly the op posite to what most people in search of a billet insert in the newspapers," he said, "I might stand a good chance of hearing from employers tired of superlative virtues, and I have not been disappointed. "I have this morning received two genuine offers and appointments fr interviews from tlie beads of good tirms and a large number of letters and post cards from practical Jokets.
