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

H'M convinced that matchmaking Is

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

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."

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

advertisement which appeared In a

caused some amusement and attracted
a great deal of attention among busi

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

face Is a particularly honest one.
"I thought If I said exactly the op

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
