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.

TASSEKQ OF "LAGXAPPE."
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

No n.arter bow smll tbe purchase,
something had to he added "-for lag

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.

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

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

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

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? As long as
tbe krve of a fruitful earth and a free
sky Is 1 fundamental Instinct la the
human heart there Is so danger that
tbe land will he left without occupants.
If man -does not Interfere with artificial
conditions which make It Impossible
for those who would to use the land.
Tbe erierience of those organixa
tkrai which are striving to counteract
la some measure tbe drift Into tbe cit
ies proves that the dries are full of
reople who. if they could, would glad
ly rush back to the land and when
ever the way is opened for tbera to go
back they make efficient farmers. As
things are now large masses f people
who are longing to live cpoa the land
can reach It only w hen helped by the
hind, not f charity, bnt of beoevo
