— tRICKS OF THE CAMERA. Vim pU OaviCM by W hich Freak Fia- lu ra a M a y Be Produced. There «re varum* way« for pro- vuliug surprising result* in photog- raphy, things that in one age would have been tailed magic, but in ours m o g n u e d a* scientific tricks. The ghost picture, for instance, in which a shadowy ghost— through which material objects are visible— is seen lietweeu natural attitudes and occu pations. This is produced by an almost in stantaneous exposure o f the figure that is to do duty as the ghost, fo l lowed by a full exposure o f the fig ures anil properties that are to ap pear natural. Another novel trick was shown recently in a photograph which pre sented the photographer seated at a table playing chess, with himself sit ting on the opposite side o f the ta ble, while he himself also stood up in the background looking at his two selves playing. The figures were all on the negative, which was produced by three successive ex posures o f the plates, parts thereof being masked each tune by a black velvet shutter. S till another trick is that bv which a person who liked that sort o f thing m ay appear to be photo graphed riding upon a flying goose or a fish or any other desired style o f ridiculous locomotion. This is done bv the subject hold ing upon his lap a huge piece o f white or sky tinted card with the fanciful figure drawn upou it. His face appears above the upper edge o f the card and seems in the picture joined to the funny little body mounted on the goose or fish. Th e statue picture is made by about the same device.— St. Louis Globe-Dem ocrat. H s W o u ld n ’t W a it. An English officer, a most irasci ble as well as a most patriotic sol dier, was leading a regiment on a long and difficult march. Weary and exhausted, they halted for a rest by the wayside. A little later, when it become necessary to move on, the lieutenant gave the order, but the tired men remained stretch ed upon the ground. The order was repeated peremptorily. Still all re mained motionless. By this time the temper o f the lieutenant was at a white heat. H e bellowed forth: “ I f you don’t get up and start at once I ’ll march the regiment off and lea re every one o f you behind.” S a a l M aat. A t one time seal was regularly eaten by the Cornish folk, and even today the older inhabitants will tell you that it is by no means unpalat able. Stephen Hawker, the man who has done much to immortalize Cornish scenery, tells a story o f how when he and a brother cleric called at the. Ship, Boscastle, for dinner the landlady said she had meat— meat and taties,” but refused to give details of the joint. Hawker sat down to the dish and, as he says, found seal “ wonderfully good.” — Dundee Advertiser. A r a b ia n The best show/ st tha Geui tonight T h a T im a to D o tha C o u n tin g . In .the old days o f impetuous warfare caution was not regarded as so much a virtue on the part of a military commander us at pres ent. In a battle between French and Austrians, in which Marshal Bugeaud commanded the French forces, an officer o f the staff said to the marshal: “ The enemy are ad vancing. Shall 1 gend a party to reconnoiter and see how numerous they are?” “ No,” said Bugeaud; “ we’ll count ’em after we’ve beaten 'em.” C h a r a c t e r B u ild in g . “ Young man,” said the solicitous parent, “ my daughter lias always had everything she could wish for.” “ Th at’s just the reason why she ought to marry me,” replied the prospective son-in-law. “ What do you mean, sir?” “ What your daughter needs more than anything else is a few lessons in self denial.” — Birmingham Age- Herald.

In olden times the sapphire was worn as a preventive against the bites o f venomous reptiles and to keep away apparitions; tbe emerald to prevent giddiness and strengthen the memory; the ruby to ward plagues and to make the wearer cheerful.

The so called Arabian numerals, the characters 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, were borrowed by the Arabs along with the decimal system o f notation from the Hindus. According to one account, Her bert, afterward Pope Sylvester II., learned the use of the numerals from the Moors in Spain in the tenth century. Another account is that Leonardo of Pisa introduced them from the east into Italy about 1202. The use of them was not general until the invention of print ing. __ M EN’S CLOTHING OREGON INSOMNIA NOT .A DISEASE.
