f "5 JliJ I mat fur lotgfjraphij ODe of the most Important teasons for a beginner to learn Is to hold the camera in the proper position during exposure, says the Circle. Whenever there are corner of buildings or other objects which give vertical Mnes, the camera must be held ahaolutely level. If this Is not done, tie buildings In the picture will appear to be falling either backward or forward, according to the way in which the camera was tilted. There are times, however, when the camera may be tilted to advantage In acme cases It Is an absolute necessity. For example. In photographs of clouds, waterfalls, balloons, ett, the camera may point upward; while In taking pictures of people swimmltig or bathing, children at work or play, ebi, it may be pointed downward. Very successful photographs of prominent speakers, parades, crowd, etc., have been taken when the camera was held upside down. It makes no difference in the negative whether the camera Is right side op or not By holding the camera In the way suggested many a photographer has secured good pictures, while others who tried to ose the camera In the usual way made absolute failures. Often by holding the camera by the side of tbe body and pointing it backward, one may secure pictures of children at play and of older people In natural poses without tbe knowledge of any menilrs of the groups. Another warning to beginners Is necessary. Do not try to take a time exposure while holding the camera in tbe hand. Even If tbe camera is held against the breast and respirsjlon stopped, the action of tbe heart Is suffi cient to cause the box to vibrate and spoil tbe picture. for Love of his craft.

Fy agreement among tbe retail deal ers of New Orleans, says a writer In tbe New York Evening Post, the time lionored Institution of "lagnappe" baa tteen atiolisbed since the beglnaing of the new year. The word menus some thing given "on the side." gratis, to a oustoiwr. It come from the Spanisb JLmerlcan word napa, w hich aueaus "to boot" No n.arter bow smll tbe purchase, something had to he added "-for lag ta4e." Generally this swanethlcg was a small delicacy a pleoe of candy, for example. Increasing compel Itltw and never-decreasing greed ma3e tbe hopkeepers devise ail sorts of scheme for keeping tip the custom with the aniallcrt poss.ble cost. The children, who have been eager ta run errands In tbe past Just for the sake or tbe reward found la iagnappe, suffered from this deterioration of the mstm to soch an extent that the board of health finally had to Interfere. And It was at tbe instance of thr B tborttlr that the retail dealers at laxt decided to take the rerolirt iomry t.p of abolishing lagnapie entirely. Complaints have already bees beard from anmeroos mothers that hereafter It will be very hard to get tbe children to do the erraod -running. Bnt that the change to for the better, no sensible pemoo wU be likely to doubt. .The custom thus wiped cast was pe culiar to New Orleans only through it lrtcnlar form and fcy reason f the flnsncm with which tt was cstahUahed a an wadeolahl right. IVftartmmt tore which give trading ataapa art Imply doing la aacthtr way what the merchants of New Orleans have been doing for more than a century. Tbe si me custom was common la northern Europe as late as the wen ties. It dates back to tbe days of plain barter, when It served as a sop to tbe feelings of the party who had tie los ing end of a trade. Went Dowm n. One of the tiathetie ttories of the storm that swept up the Atlantic coast lew aays ago was that of the death of Capt. Matheson of the schooner Nel lie loyd. wrecked off the North Caro lina coast, save Th R?ir.itinh 'iwr It la of special interest in this sec tion, because CaiO. Matheson and his vessel were well known hereabout For a number of years they had been fre quent visitors at Carolina and Georirla ports, where snip aad master became lamiitar Dgures. When the Floyd foun dered It was certain that she must leave ber bones in that marine rrave- yard off the North Carolina coast: a Hfecraft of batches was constructed. and tbe crew. !Tninit!n th mntoiti piled on It Am thev were about to rmsh off, trusting to fortune to be picked up by a passing ship, Capt Matheson looked back, upon his beloved schooner, then in Its death throes. His heart smote him. He felt like a deserter. The suffering but Inanimate hulk called w mm, and he could not resist the call. I am imtnt- hb hri" k . "good-by, and good luck to you." Then he scrambled back to the decks, by that time awash and fast settling. And in sight of the crew the ship and her captain Vent down to their fate. It is one of Kipling's favorite themes to Illustrate tbe affection of a cantiiln for his ship and an engineer for his macmnery. It is one of the conten tions of purists that one cannot love : anything Incapable of returning affec tion In kind, but it Is a stretch of the truth or license of lanznaire to mi- that tbe sea is fairly peopled with skip pers who love their craft with such devotion that tbey prefer death to life without tbem. Such was the case with the British Admiral Tryon, who re fused to be rescued when, some years ago, off Africa, the battleships Victo ria and Camperdown came Into col lision, with such disastrous results to the former. Admiral Trvon's flsirshln There are those who will assert that a good ship and a good master come into closest understanding and affection for each other when tbey have long sailed together. Tbe master is Jealous of the care of his ship and that she shall have the very best treatment while the ship apparently does her best to demon strate that the kindly care is fully ap preciated. Capt Marrvatt savs that a ship will become sick and sullen under the hand of a new master after an old and klndlr one has been roiwirnt from ber. missed the petting, and. according to tbe fashion of her sex, resents the deprivation. Capt Matheson. who died with his schooner. was a type of tbe sailor who loves his ship and who win give his life for his love.

Within the limits of greater New Tork the total number killed last year rose to 227. For every person killed a number are Injured, aame of them erljipled for life. That this slaughter and maiming Is criminally neeifiless Is sufficiently attested by a single fact: In all London In the last year of record l!."l3) the total number killed was ten.

It Is a good thing that our countrv- bred youth does not always stay on the farm of his father, says the Craftsman. Somebody else, an Immigrant a farm er from another State, or a man from the city will take it and carry on his work. And rotation of farmers Is as good for tbe nation as rotation of crops Is for tbe sail Educational observers and thinkers are agreed upon the Ines timable value in youthful training of the sort of life the farmer's son leads his companionship with nature, hie knowledge of material things, his ne cessitated self-reliance, his manual dex terities. It is said that nine-tenths of our successrui easiness men grew tip In the country and of those who have been prominent In tbe professional and public life fully as many passed their Nearly years oa the farm. Is It not much better for the genera good that the farmer's son should take his country-trained mind and body Into other activities and let the dry -bred me chanic's or clerk' or lawyer's son have s chance on the farm?
