HAVING A PICTURE TAKEN.
Hovr Some Poopl t HU. Before a Photog
rapher’-* Camera.
“Queer sitters? Hundreds of th'rn,”
said O. B. do Moral, the photographer,
yesterday, repeating a question and
answering it- “Mv groatost trouble
with sitters is that they will almost in
variably sit ns if they had swallowed a
ramrod. A man will ootno in, sit
down as stiff as a poker, and say: T
want my picture taken this way.’ 1
take It that way, and as a matter of
Course he is dissatisfied. Had ho said
to tue, 'Take it the way you think
f best,’ ho would have been sure of a
; good picture. Very few people know
\hevv to assume a proper expression—
und really they have no business to a*s
jaimie any expression but a natural one.
I like to see business uueti come in, for
I they give me very little trouble, having
itio desiro to look better than they
fare.
Sit is very funny to see some people
tty in gto look peasant. One day a
philanthropist, whoso countenance is
as mild as a woman's, and beams with
gentleness, wanted to be photograph
ed. His face had a strained look as he
S’.it in the cnair, and 1 told him to as
sume a more cheerful expression. The
poor man screwed up Ins face in such a
manner that ho looked like a red-hand*
o<l murderer. 1 worked with him for
half an hour, and during that time he
managed to make hiiuself look ridicu
lous in a hundred different ways. O.ie
moment he looked like an imbecile, the
next like a stage villain. i finally got
1 a negative, but nobody would have
taken itfortho picture of a philan
thropist Now, if ho had only looked
natural there would lmvobeou no iron*
b.e at ail.
“i don’t want to ho thought tingal
lunt, but I nm forced to acknowledge
that tho liidi'-s aro fur more trouble
some than men. Nearly all of them
w.iiit t> look sweet and smiling, ami in
their efforts to do so some of them
simper in a way that is almost enough
to break tne 'camera; and they all want
to look young. That's a woman’s
weakness. An old lady about Gu call
ed on me one day, ami, selecting the
photograph of a young and voluptuous
actress, said sue wanted her picture
taken tike ti.au Tho actress in the
picture had on a low-nocked dress, and
looked charming. T>o you want it ex
actly like MiuiP' I asked. ‘Yus, sir,’
replied the lady with determination.
I photographed her ami exhibited a
proof. ‘That's not the kind of a pic
ture l want,’ she cried. ‘lt doesn’t
look a bit like the one I showed you. 1
‘But. madam,’ 1 expostulated, T can
not make a lady of your age look like
a young woman of sr>.5 r >. ’ *My age!’ she
screamed; ‘my ago!’ and flounced out,
boiling with indignation.
••Tho ladies have got a neat little
dodge now that bothers us a good deal.
Say, for instance, that Mrs. X. wants
to be photographed. Of two of her
favorite dresses she does not know
which would look best in the picture.
How do h she overcome the difficulty?
Very nicely. Shu has her picture tak
en in one of the drosses. She subse
quently calls to look at the proof, ami
utter a cursory glance nays it does not
suit her. O. course she musiait again.
This time sue is attired in the other
dtps*. Then she selects whichever
picture suits her, ami frequently taxes
the lirst, alter all. The photographer
who can get ahead of a woman deserves
a monument.
“Ah, the ladies are a queer set. As
a rule,a lady does not bring her friends
with her Wlieu she comes to be photo
graphed. But when she calls to exam
ine the proof she is accompanied by a
dozen. Eh von of them will look at
the proof and pronounce it charming,
but the twt lftii—ah, there is the stum
bling-block. fthe looks at it very care
fully, gazes at me as if 1 had robbed
her, ami then says, in a voice that
warns me not to contradict her, tiiat
the pic.ure is miserable and does not
look uL ail like her friend. Tu others
take another look, while the twelfth
lady caluny points out llio imaginary
delects, and huully ail agree that the
picture must he taken over again.
“Country people are frequently
amusing. Two very green country
girls came to be photographed. While
1 was taking tho negative of one of
them the other got very curious and
wanted to look into tho camera. I told
her to go on, and she poked her head
tinder the cloth. One peep was enough.
She looKtid horrified. The lens, you
know, reverses the picture ou the fo
cusing plate, and she saw her sister up
side down. I lost a customer. She
said she wouldn’t have her picture tak
en that wav, and all my explanations
wero in vain.”
Four Bwflt GjrpAioH.
A number of thu residuals of Poplar
street had their fortunes told yester
day, writes a Grilfiu (G.) correspond
ent of tho Atlanta CouMulion. Four
gypsies had it their own way for a
tvniie, and their success was remarka
ble. They attracted attention by their
remarkable sweet singing, and then
looking at you for a few minutes wouid
relate some little incident connected
with your family’s past history. Your
curiosity would be excited, and you
wouid have vour fortune told. Your
past history, or much of it, would be
told correctly, and in a most winning
way and by the sweetest voices, and
then your fortune would bo predicted
in ;v thrilling and taking style.
Thus the gypsies went from house
to house, ami many quarters were
slipped into their hands. Their visits
were confined to a lew houses closely
connected on Poplar street, and every
veranda was occupied by tho inmates
of tho houses where the gypsies had
visited, watching them as they visited
other places. They had just come out
of a house, when si young man came up
tho street. One glance in that direc
tion by the gypsies was enough. There
was a scream and a scattering. One
wouid have thought Use gypsies had
never seen a man, they got out of
his way so quickly. But the gentleman
bad seen them; their costumes, their
maimer, and their conduct was unus
ual, he was blessed with some curiosi
ty. and followed the fleeing gypsies iu
the house where they had taken refuge,
and after some searching and much
begging by the gypsies, succeeded iu
drawing each one out and turned their
faces up to tho light, recognized the
bright eyes and pretty faces of three of
our most popuiar visiting young ladies
and one of our prettiest homo girls.
They had been on a lark, uud a ily
one it was. After getting oVur their
excitement and forgiving the young
tuan for catching them, they told how
they had imposed upon their friends.
The young iudv who lives here had in
formed the visitors of enough of the
family history of oach household to
make the revelations and prophecy
smack of the truth. And os tho for
tttnc-teiiers would relate some of these
truths tho eyes of the lislentTa would
open wide with surprise and astonish
ment. The gypsies told their experi
ence with njucii gualo* and their rmg*
mg laugh, as they wouui lei ate tneir
experience, proved that ffiey had en
joyed tin? fun. But they did not wadt
anybody to know of their little escap
ade, so they crowded the youug man
iuto a corner, and at thoend of bi*>.u
handles and sticks made him vow he
would uot tell a soul, and he uasiTl.
In the timber bolt of Western Wash
ington there are Y0,0u0,000 acres coher
ed with timber, uiUsl of which i£ in
cluded within the limits named—tin
area nearly equal to the combined areas
of the states of Connecticut, Massa
cuusetts, Vermont and New Hamp
shire. This timber bolt will average
26,000 feet of lumber to the acre; or a
total ol 600.Ut>0.Odd,000 feet of lumber.
Hence, the sawmills of Pugot .Sound,
with their present capacity of 600,000,-
OdO feet per year, would tufce 1,000
years to cut it down. Thu fir trees
frequeutiy attain the height of *260
feet. Hud plauixs of lumber are some*
ixiuus turned out, of Uuu>o mills 100 lout
itt length.
Getting K’mly ftw ’Possum.
’Possum arc pretty lean yet, but they
arc fattening rßpidty, and In a mouth
the darkies will begin hunting for
them, writes a Mahwali, N. J., corre
spondent of the New York an. Just
above here, across the NcW York state
line, is the gap between the Havorstraw
and the Rnmnpo mountains, through
which the Brio railway enters the Rain
apo valley. There are lots of them im
the mountains, and in the Ridge woods,
to the southwest, they also abound.
On the rugged sidos of the mountains,
whore the land cun not bo used, dar
kies have made little clearing* and
built log houses. The colored poo lu
work ou the farms and iu the woods
wherever they can pick up job**, and
as it costs them little or nothing to
live, they get along comfortably.
On moonlight nights when the 'pos
sum are fat tho darkles are iu the
woods hunting the animal*, whoso
meat is stvect to them. Tho 'possum*
run up tho trees, climb out on the
limbs, twist their tails around them
and hang head dowuwtird. They sleep
that way when they are in trim. Their
winter quarter* are holes iu the ruck*
or hollow trees. They roll themselves
up iuto Dulls and live on their own tis
sue* until warm weather come* again.
The natives around here say that they
eat voge table*, fruit, crickets, aul,
wneu they cun find unsuspecting ones
roosting low, ohiekous. Tnc presence
in the woo*is ot 'possum removes sus
picion from the darkies when the pop
ulation of u henroost hereabout* i* de
creased.
Some of tho darkies hnvo dogs to
hunt the 'possum with, and gun* with
which to shoot them. Others have
uot, and they an? obliged to depend
entirely on traps. Figure 4 deadfalls
arc used a groat deal. A big fiat stone
is secured. It is held up lu a slanting
position by sticks arranged like the
figure 4, and baited with an apple.
When a 'possum nibble* the apple the
arrangement of slick* collapses and
the btouc fall* ou the animal. The
’possum is pinned to thefmrth. Hot!, if
the life U not crushed out of it by the
time the darky get* around Ij look
after the trap, it is dispatched with a
*tmk. Figure 4 dcadiuil* are easy to
arrange, ami a darkv'* luck at hunt
ing ’possums i* largely dependent on
his industry.
The ’possums hero have a pretty
gamy taste. To remove this tho ani
mal, after it* hide is taken off au<l it*
entrails are removed, i* first parboiled
Then, if tho hunter has a stove, it is
put in tho oven in a pan to roast in it*
own fat. When a lot of the fat ha*
been tried out potatoes are put in the
pan to be cooked with tue ’possum.
If the hunter does nut own a stove a
big wood lire is started. When it is
reduced to coals a hole is dug iu the
glowing mass and the ’possum is laid
in it and covered over with ashes and
embers. At, tho right stage potatoes
and corn are put in me ashes to roust.
The darkies of tho family sit by the
firo and wait with yearning anticipa
tion lor the time when the ’possum
can be drawn out of its hot bed. Tho
darkies are now cloaniug their guns
and watching doadiali sticks and get
ting ready ior the ’possum season.
Pineapples, knowu in most countries
of Europe as ananas, are biennial, with
tho habit of an aloe, and came origin
ally from Braz.l. iu the center of the
foliage rises a stem about two feet
high, on tho upper part of which are
the flowers, crowded in the shape of a
conical spike. Pineapples, in a strict
botanical sense, are not fruit, but
clusters of leaves which undergo wou
deriui changes just before ripening,
'lhe leaves greatly enlarge, enclosing
the central bicin, bracts, calyx, corolla
and ovary, much like a common mul
berry, though without seeds. Pine
apples are of slow growth, but are
quick to ripen. The first evor seen in
England wore sent as a present to
Oliver Cromwell. The largest canning
factory for pineapples is at Nassau.
Lit ok lons Inventors.
One of the saddest talcs in the his
tory of invention is that of Eli Whitney
and the cottou gin. Whitney was a
Massachusetts man, and wuut to ths
South as a school-teacher. Like the
others mentioned, ho displayed re
markable inventive genius from au
early age, and was a constant source
ot anxiety to his worthy father, who,
when he saw him always engaged in
niakiug some toy, imagined he was
never destined to amount to much.
The invention of the gin was the re
suit of the Southern visit, and of his
obsfrvatiou of the time lost in separ
ating the seed from the lint To sep
arate a pound was a full day’s work
for a woman and consequently cotton
was little used. Alter much labor
Wuitnoy perfected his machine, but the
experience of other inventors Who had
generally found the utmost difficulty
in introducing their ideas was not his,
for tlie people of Georgia had so high
au appreciation of the value of tho in
vention, that they broke into his room
and stole his models, carrying them off
and using the idea to make other ma
chines. A number of patents wore is
sued, tho machines each Varying a lit
tle from euctt other, bnt ail having*
Whitney’s idea, aud for the invention
he never realized anything but law
suits. After carrying'these ou fruit
lessly for a number of years, ho gave
up tne effort to recover either remu
neration or damages, uud applied him
self to tho invention of machinery to
make anna for the govcrumuuL in
thin he did well, but from his wonder*
lul iu von lion, which gave the South its
leading industry, he received little or
nothing.— Loan O.oUc Jicmucr<U.
This astute proverb comes from In*
ciievs “It must always bo tho women
woo are in the Wrong, and not tne
men, because men have reserved* to
the twelves the right to decide What is
right uud wind wrong.”
