America leads the world la the number and enthusiasm of itt amateur
photographers. Almost as much money Is spent on the fad her each year es
la all the countries of Europe. About lll.O1W.O1W U annually spent on cam
eras alone by the amateurs of the Union. From Insignificant Important the
business of providing for amateur snap-shotters has grown almost beyond
comprohenalon In the last twelve years. Sow men by the thousands are
employed making cameras, while entire factories are gtven over to th man
ufacture of the tiniest article In an amateur's outfit
For years Inventors la that line have been at work trying to find some
practical method of photographing In color. Now the report comes that
color photography has boon practically demonstrated. The new process takes
the negative after It Is developed and fixed, and prints from It directly on
the color-sensltiied piper, and by a process of washing the most delicate
differentiation of tone In the color scheme of nature Is produced. The light
waves attack the chemical layers with more or less energy, aud accordingly
as they produce different colors are stopped In their passage through the
layers. The paper U then subjected to a flow of water of a ctrtaln degree of
heat, which dissolves the gWatln and exposes the different colors according
to the amount of light energy with which they have been affected In the
process of printing. When the process of washing the print Is finished the
picture stands out In the full radiance of the colors of nature, the blue sky
with the white clouds, and the different shades of green of the foreground
with the shades of green of distant trees.

Croup Remedy. The following Is a
simple German formula: Twenty-five
parts of common sal, ten of flowers of
sulphur, twenty-five of foenum grae
cum. twenty-five of Juniper berries,
five of gentian root and five of the fen
nel seed. Any druggist can compound
this preparation.
Flatulency. This almost universal
stomach disorder among people of
sedentary habits can be overcome by
taking two or three grains of the sub
nitrate of bismuth before each meal
and following thereafter with a five-
grain tablet of peptenzyme. If this
does not work use the following tonic:
Sulphate of quinine twenty grains, aro
matic sulphuric acid one dram, tUic
ture of nux vomica three drams, tinc
ture of cardamon seed one-half ounce
In water sufllcient to make four
ounces. The dose Is a dessertspoonful

The Art of Coughing. Few people
know how to couzh properly. In fact
It never occurs to an ordinary lndl
vldul that there is a right way and a
wrong way. This is a matter of no
small Importance. If each sigh means
a drop of blood out of the heart as
people say every cough means some
greater or less proportion of time
knocked off one's life. Most people
cough as loudly and forcibly as they
can while some chronic coughers seem
proud of the terrible noise they make,
But it Is rather a costly noise for the
simple reason that it tears and Inflames
the lungs which consist or an extra
ordinarily delicate sponge-like tissue
that sometimes becomes Inflamed and
choked with phlegm. When we try
tn Hri this substance we cough, but
" If It Is removed violently the delicate
lun tissue Is injured. Therefore try
to cough as gently as possible.
Sprains and Strains. When a Joint
Is sprained its ligaments are stretched
end torn and the muscles are bruised
and In many cases partially torn as
wv Rinod Is ooured out from the
bruised tissues Into the Joint which
rapidly becomes swollen, stiff and pain
fuL more especially when any attempt
i. made to move it The treatment of
sDralns is a matter of the greatest lm
portance, as a neglected sprain always
leads to Imperfect recovery of the
Joint, which is quite likely to become
oermanently stiff ana immoDiie.
forts should be directed to reduce the
swelling and to prevent the Joint from
becoming fixed. At first, to allay the
pain and swelling, hot fomentations
nhould be applied ror some uours
Then a large pad of cotton wool should
be fixed In position over the Joint by
means of a bandage, within rorry
Plirht hours, or even less, gentle mas
sage should be commenced, the Joint
being carefully manipulated at the
same time. Douching with hot and
cold water alternately will be found a
useful adjunct to treatment and later
friction with oil will add In restoration
