How It came about was oerer
known, but tbs Impression became
general tbnt tbe sitter must not wfnk.
No operator of Intelligence ever told
tbe sitter not to wink, for tbe effort to
refrain would bare given the eye an
unnatural expression. We found It a
duty to tell tbe sifter to wink as usual
that natural winking did not affect tbe
picture. Bren then It was not always
understood. One old lady Jumped out
of tbe cbalr before a sitting was half
over, raising both bands and exclaim
ing: "Stop It stop IN 1 wlnkedl"
Another remarkable fact was that
sitters seldom acknowledged tbelr own
Ukenessfs. "All good but mine," was
tbe common decision. An aged couple
after examining tbelr pictures cubs to
tbla conclusion, “Marta, yours la per
fect but this does not look like ma. r
But tbe old lady answered, "Jeems,
yours Is as natural as life, but mins to
a failure.” After a longer consultation
tbe old gentleman said, "We must
know each other better than we know
ourselves." At one time wben Daniel
Webster sat for a daguerreotype tbe
finished picture was bald before blni.
Turning away, be said: "I am not to
judge of my own looks. It Is for you
to Judge, and you must decide whether

Artificial Cultivation of Sponges.
An interesting investigation now
being carried on in Florida by tha
bureau of fisheries has for its ob
ject the discovery and development
of methods by which the valuable
sheep wool sponge may be cultivat
ed artificially.
Tbe method which promises tha
most satisfactory results is that of
using cuttings. Large sheep wool
sponges arc cut into small pieces,
which are fastened to an insulated
wire fixed in tho water, so that the
nges arc supported a few inches
ve the bottom. These small bits,
placed at close intervals along tho
wire, soon heal and form an organic,
attachment to it, and very soon be-
in to grow. It is too soon to pre-.
ict just what the results will be,
but the indications are, so far, very
encouraging, and ,it is believed that
the time is not far distant when tha
sponge fisheries of Florida will be
vastly increased in productiveness
and value. — National Geographic

The Cast of Governments.
A table has been prepared and is
sued by the department of com
merce and labor, indicating that, de-
spito the great size of the appropria
tions, this country is per capita
more cheaply maintained than any
other in tho world, with the excep
tion of China and India, and pos
sibly Russia. It costs, according to
this, just $7.97 a year for each man,
woman and child in the United
States to run the government, as
against $9.30 for Canada, $9.48 for
the German empire, $9.54 for “Swe
den, $10.09 for Spain, $11.45 fof
Portugal, $11.40 for the Nether
lands, $12.40 for Cuba, $12.68 for
Argentina, $14.27 for Austria-Hun
gary, $17.30 for Paraguay, $17.40
for Belgium, $17.84 for France,
$21.39- for the United Kingdom,
$.17.69 for Australia and $38.38 for
New Zealand. Russia’s per capita ex
pedditure is approximately the sam<
as that of tho United States.
Preparing Far Emergency.
Perhaps as tho following anec
dote would seem to-indicate, not all
authors belong to the mutual ad
miration society said by a recant
writer to exist among the members
of the craft.
At a dinner given aome time ago
in honor of mil Caine, Thomas
Nelson Page was invited to intro
duce the English novelist. One of
the guesta next to Mr. Page, just
before the toasts began, passed his
menu card around the table with
the request that Mr. Caine put his
signature on it.
“That’s a good idea,” said Page.
“I must do that,.too. I’ve got to in
troduce Caine in a few minutes, and
-I want to be able to say that I have

CONDENSED STORIES.
The Cat Was tbs' Only One Present
Nat Embarrassed.
The 'ate Thomas B. Reed enjoyed
a joke on no one more than on
himself. One such is related by a
Washington society woman who en
joyed his personal Iriendahip.
After ail, tha joke waa chiefly op
., which may bs tha reason
why she and not Mr. Reed waa the
narrator. She ii a cat ehthuaiast.
Many and Beautiful are the cats she
owns; grave and reverend are their
names, chiefly borrowed from emi
nent pnbiic personages, but none waa
more handsome or dignified than
tha one she had named “Mr. Reed.”
When one day (he two “Mr.
Reed.-” accidentally met In her re
ception room and tlie more illus
trious of them, attracted by the
beauty of his furry namesake,
stooped to stroke him and ask
“What do you cull' him?” the
lad}' had a bad quarter of a minute.
She did not know just how the
czar of ths.house of representatives
would like the idea that a cat bad
been named for him. So aha itum-
Med out a hastily invented fictitious
name, and the conversation passed to
other topics, when suddenly a per
emptory voice sounded on the stair-
wav—“Mr. Reed!”
“Mr. Reed I” it continued. “Are
S ou in tho parlor? What are you
oing in that parlor?” Before any
explanations could bo made a white
capped head was thrust in the door
way and oh angry looking maidserv
ant cried, “Come out of that parlor,
I tell you, Mr. Reed I”
It is not on record that the cat
aeemed embarrassed.—Philadelphia

The petition of RP Izlar.J W StYlcklaml.
M M Johnson. A M Knight. Warren Lott,
B H Thomas, John W Bennett. H Murphy
and A N O Kccf*. respectfully shows:
First; That they have associated them
selves and desire to be incorporated with
their success n, for a term of twenty (20)
yean with tha privilege of renewal at ihe
expiration ofslad term, under tbe name of
“Tba Hospital Association of Wayernas and
Ware County,”
Second ; The particular buslneas or en«
ttrprls* that they desire to oarfy on, is to
establish at.d maintain a public hospital In
tbe City of Waycross, Ware County, Geor
gia, to administer through tbe aid of med*
ioal science, and snretry, through profes
sional skill, and otherwise, to tbe sick, ill,
injured, afflicted and deformed of human
kind; to afford ti^atment to those of such
who are unable to pay, and to cha.ge such
fees and pricts to othen a* may be fair and
reasonable for saoh an institution.
Third: As said institution Is not for prof
it and gai i, but of « nature charitable and
benevolent, ifls the purpose of your pe-
titio..em to gather ftjuda>ml means for its
establishment ami maintenance by privute
and public donations, gifts ond appropri
ations, therefore they desire to receive sue 1

evening as alio was leaving tho hall
sbo was accosted by a small individ*
uni, who took oil bis hat and bowed
like a haughty Castilian. He an
nounced to the famous singer, much
to her surprise, that he had noticed
on each of the twenty nights on
which she bad sung in “Lucia di

at him in his scat in tho topmost
gallery. His mother had a bakery
in the town, lie was an only son,
and placed bis hand, his heart and
