BRIDAL PHOTOGRAPHS,
Not Nearly So Many Taken Nowaday*
as There Used to Be.
Brides are probably Just as beauti
ful now as they every were, but they
are not nearly so anxious to record
their post-nuptial loveliness by means
of photographes. Most photographers
■ay they are glad of It.
“I never did enjoy taking the pic
tures of brides,” said a photographer.
"Like all the rest of the world, I love
the dear creatures; but when It comes
down to $4 a dozen commercialism
they do not satisfy my artistic in
stincts. Few brides take a good pic
ture. Somehow their togs are not be
coming. A bride is supposed to look
superlatively lovely on her wedding
day, but if anybody dared to tell the
truth on the subject that superstition
soon would be exploded and the sweet
things would realize that instead of
looking their best on that occasion
most of them are apt to look their
worst. It is the same way when they
come to be photographed In their
wedding finery. They are either too
pale or too red, and they have a nerv
ous, anxious expression that robs the
face of all good lines for photographic
purposes.
"The time was when no bride con
sidered! herself really married until
she had arrayed herself In spotless
white and had her picture taken. Gen
erally ‘he’ came with her, and ‘he’
looked just about as foolish as she did.
Goodness, the trouble I have had pos
ing brides and bridegroma before the
camera. Instead of telling them to
look pleasant, I always felt like say
ing, “Don’t look idiotic if you can pos
sibly help it,” and then I would have
to think up some device to keep her
from 6crooging down too close against
his shoulder and to keep him from re
sponding with an equally inappro
priate embrace. But with all my pre
cautions I never fully succeeded In
preventing their acting like lunatics.
The other day, when looking over a
lot of old negatives, I came across
several hundred of those sentimental
combinations, and I thanked my lucky
Btars that nowadays few newly mated
couples have the camera craze.”—

It was a daily burden that interfered

May, 1902, after using Doan's Kidney

relieved me of the pain In my back. I
have since then had a year’s time in
which to study the effects of the medi

touches of the trouble since, the use of
the pills has always driven away all
signs of the disorder, and I have be

The Passing of Juno.
A STUDY IN FEMININE CONTRADICTIONS.
By RUTH CRAFT.
On a crisp afternoon in early au
tumn Juno was walking across the
campus. The Greek professor when
she entered the class room greeted her
as Miss Lawrence, and in the registry
her Christian name was Eleanor. But
if you had watched her progress down
the straight path, you would know
why the girls called her Juno. They
had given her the name in her fresh
man year. Now she was a senior and
it fitted her still better. She was tall.
There was rhythm in her motion, and
vigor, as if all her muscles had been
developed In harmony. Her head turned
the least bit to one side and slightly
tilted backward, the erect shoulders
and straight back, the grace and poise
of the whole body as she walked all
befitted a goddess. Her hair was
black. It was parted and coiled loose
ly just above the line of her neck with
out breaking the natural contour of
the head. The eyes too were dark and
ihe cheeks rosy. It was in coloring
rather than in beauty of feature that
the charm of her face^ay.
As Juno opened her Iliad and knotted
her brows, Mary Tilton, watching her
in a corner, felt like protesting against
the inflictions of education. Theoreti
cally, to be sure, there was propriety
enough in Juno’s reading the Iliad;
nothing could have suited her style
better. But Juno Sad displayed no af
finity for Greek nor for any other
branch of learning. It seemed to Mary
preposterous that such a girl should
be made to mope over books. It would
be quite as sensible to capture a young
deer and compel it to study logarithms.
Juno 111-longed out of doors. She should
bo frfee. It ought to be enough for
anybody to see her a beautiful, strong,
natural being. Juno would have en
dorsed Mary’s views if they had come
up for consideration. Slhe had not
formulated any like them in her own
mind, but she lived up to them. Sho
placed no strain upon her intelect will
ingly. She fell in cordially with na
ture’s plan regarding her person. Such
aids to its realization as the morning
plunge, a full allowance of exercise in
the open air, and nourishing food, she
employed generously. She took pains
that her dressmaker should acquiesce
In the designs that seemed to have
been conceived in Paris with special
refrence to her figure. The beauty of
her hair was enhaned at home by the
activities of her maid; at college it
was Mary Tilto who delighted to brush
it every night. Juno did not revel
selfishly in her natural attractiveness.
She was perfectly willing that others
should enjoy it.
As the chaw laftrtbr rcMiar-Jffßtf Hat
Mary walked away arm in arm. It was
the last recitation in the afternoon.
"Come out for a walk,” Mary sug
gested. “Let’s have supper on the hill.
We can wrap up warm.”
“You always know just what will
suit me, Mary," said Juno. "1 want
to get off somewhere, and have a
chance to think.’
Mary looked up in vague alarm. She
never before had known Juno to want
to think. But she said nothing.
When Juno reached her room she
threw her Iliad on the desk and her
self on a couch, where she lay with
eyes closed, her hands clasped over
her head. Mary Tilton meantime ran
up two flights of stairs to her room.
Sho extracted from the larder, which
is more requisite a part of a college
girl's room than a desk, four eggs.
These she put on the gas stove to boil.
“Twenty minutes,” she said to herself;
“Juno won’t eat them unless they are
hygienic.” Then she ran down the two
flights to a small grocery store that
thrived under the college roof on the
patronage of the students, to mount
once more with the materials for sand
wiches, fruit, and a jar of milk. The
college supper bell was ringing when,
lunch basket in hand, she knocked at
Juno’s door. The "Come!” sounded
drowsy.
“Did I wako you up?” asked Mary
contritely.
No matter. I’m ready. I was dread
fully tired, and I don’t want to look
played-out tomorrow
“Anything special?”
"Kent is coming.”
“I thought you forbade him to come
again,’ rose to Mary's lips. What she
said was: “You’ll have a good time.”
“On the contrary,” said Juno, “he
bores me a good deal.”
The next day was Sunday. The girls
did not meet until evening. Mary spent
the holiday in the library working up
history topics. There was no evidence
in Juno’s Monday recitation that her
friend had confined her exertions to
her town subject. At an early hour in
the afternoon Kent Thorpe was shown
into the college drawing room. Tho
fortunate circumstance that his great
grandfather had married Eleanor Law
rence’s great-grandmother established
a blood relationship between student
and guest that made it within the
bounds of college discipline for them
to leave the building together. As they
did so, it was observed from several
windows that the tall stranger with
fair skin and hair and manly bearing
did not look out of place beside Juno.
They did not. return until sundown.
During the evening they conversed se
dately in a corner of the college draw
ing room, Kent looking as if the whole
institution was weighing him down.
A spectator would have detected a mis
chievousness in Eleanor's demeanor
that she hardly could have introduced
for the purpose of allaying bis discom
fiture.
At bedtime, when Mary was brush
ing the black glossy hair that took
more of her attention than her own,
Juno said: “We tramped for miles.
Then ho read mo a magazine article
that he has written. Here are his
sketches for it. Aren't they beauti
ful?” Sho spread them out on the
couch, her long hair slipping over her
white arms as she bent down. Mary
stood brush in hand, uttering little

staccatos of admiration. “His article
isn't so good.” Juno admitted, "but I
can put it into shape for him.”
Mary repressed her surprise at this
budding of literary criticism. "Has he
gone?” she asked.
“No. He missed the train. He tele
phoned that he would come again to
morrow.”
Mary grinned behind the screen of
Juno’s hair. “Then look out for tomor
row,” she said soberly. I
“Nonsense!” said Juno.
At 10 o’clock, according to college
rules, every light must be out. On the
Sunday night after Kent’s second call
Juno obeyed, and so did Mary. But
when Juno, in a loose gown and soft
slippers, rapped on Mary’s door she
found her friend similarly arrayed and
perched on a high window seat in the
moonlight. She climbed up beside her
and laid head in her lap.
“Have you come to tell me anything,
Juno?” asked Mary roguishly. / Ac.
"Certainly not.” Juno
ly. “I don't feel like talking at nil. I
never shall marry him,” she asserted
with contradictory irrelevance.
Mary ran her fingers through the soft
hair. She said nothing.
“He's just my age,” remarked Juno,
“and stunning to look at.”
“Well?” Mary ventured.
“He is awfully fond of golf and walk
ing and all that.”
“Well?”
“He says w f e have the same tastes in
music and books and such things.”
“Very likely,” asserted Mary. If
Juno should develop any predilections
at all in those directions, it seemed
likely that they would follow Mr.
Thorpe’s.
“But I don’t care for him. Besides,
I never could stand being tied down
even if I did love anybody.”
“What does he say to that?”
“He says he will make me. He says
I should be freer than ever.”
“He doesn’t know her,” thought
Mary.
“But he doesn’t really care for me,"
Juno explained. “He is misled because
he never happened to come across my
type before.”
“Some of that is true,” said Mary,
adding to herself, “and he won’t again.’’
“There are quantities of other wom
en that would he just as congenial and
stimulating to him if he knew them.”
“Then it is your duty to tell him so.”
“I tried to, but he interrupted me.”
“What did he say?”
“It wasn’t very nice. He said ‘Damn
the other women! ’ ”
On Moil dip; _ait.PXiiooo— Mary found
’.funo' bending over the manuscript of
Mr. Thorpe’s article which by free use
of a pencil she had rendered absolute
ly illegible.
“When on earth did you do all that?”
She asked.
"I've done nothing else all Jay.
There! read it and see if you think
of anything else to do to It. I have
been over it so many times that X know
it by heart. I simply cannot look at it
again.
Mary took up the sheets.
“No, give it to me!” said Juno. “I'll
read it to you. I’d like to.”
“Why did you do all that?” asked
Mary boldly.
“I don’t know. Yes, Ido too. I want
him to know how much I care for him
as a friend.”
On Tuesday Juno received a letter.
To the judicial mind the gratitude that
it expressed might have seemed ex
cessive. "It was too good of you to
bother over my miserable article, dear.
Yes, dear, dear, dear. I will say it.
How can I ever thank you enough?
And not for that only. How can I tell
you what your grand, sweet, womanly
nature has done for me? Oh, Eleanor,
I love you. Yes, I will say that too.”
On Wednesday, as Juno came out
from the college postoffice with Mary,
she said; “I’m not used to getting so
many love letters a day. Do I love
him?”
"No,” said Mary, decisively, “you
don’t.”
Juno looked relieved. “He wants to
come up again on Saturday,” she said,
“but I have written him not to. I was
good, wasn’t I?”
“Very,” said Mary.
On Thursday Mr. Thorpe wrote that
there were some points in his article
that they positively must talk over to
gether. "I shall be firm, Mary,” said
Juno. “It won’t do at all for him to
come.”
“Why, Juno?” and Mary looked into
Juno’s eyes.
"He goes to California next month,”
pursued Juno, evasively; “probably I
never shall sec him again.”
Friday was Juno's afternoon at
home. She always served tea to the
girls. When Mary arrived the couches
and chairs were filled and several
guests were on the floor. Peals of
laughter announced that Juno was en
tertaining the company with her own
version of some incident in college life.
She never appeared more brilliant or
more irresponsible. Mary, who al
ways slipped into a corner on these
occasions, sat watching her friend wist
fully. She could see in the vivacious
face no suggestion of the week’s siege
that Juno’s heart had undergone.
Would Kent Thorpe, or any other man,
she asked herself, ever ho Juno’s con
quering hero? Her answer came un
expectedly. Ap, she tried to go out un
noticed while the jolity was in full
swing, Juno opened the door for her.
“I telegraphed him to come tomorrow,”
she said in an undertone.
Mr. Thorpe must have known the
time table by heart. Doubtless it was
his custom, moreover, to keep his
dress suit case packed. These facts
favored his arrival in response to
Juno’s telegram at an hour that antici
pated the. usual one for morning calls.
Punctuality, however, did not so much
characterize his manner when, at dusk,
Juno tore her hand from his at the col
lege gateway.
Mary Tilton found the history topics
rich in suggestion that Saturday. In
place of Mary Queen of Scots, she
would see Juno; Sir Philip Sidney
save place to Kent Thorpe. At sup
per Juno’s seat was empty. Mary
found her in her room in an attitude
of dejection. Her face was the picture
of despair.
"What now?’’ Mary tried to speak
sayly.
“He has gone.”
"To California?”
"No, to his hotel.”
"Then you have not parted for all
time?”
"I should think not,” cried Juno.
“Oh, Mary!” and the goddess burst
into tears.
Mary was to say the least perplexed.
Mr. Thorpe had expressed a strong de
sire to come. Juno had summoned him
of her own will. He had promptly re
sponded. Now she wept because he
had not gone. Whatever the reason,
it was sufficiently agitating to see Juno
in tears She somehow suspected that
tears, in tho case of Juno, meant down
fall. It was the first time that she had
seen her cry.
"It’s hideous!” Juno proclaimed, as
soon as she could speak. A comical
look aided her as she removed the
t racy:; of tears. Mary waited in silence
for further enlightenment, "it's sim
ply hideous,” Juno repeated, "to adore
anybody as I do him.”
"Then you will go to California with
him?” Mary smiled as she spoke.
"No, but only because he has given
up going. I would go to tho moon with
him if he wanted mo to.”—New York
Evening Post.
QUAINT AND CURIOUS.
The first ice cream ever sold as a
regular article of commerce was
shipped by a Boston merchant named
Tudor in 1805. He sent a load to
Martinique.
Another girl has been found who
likes needles. In Ashland, Pa., the oth
er day, a 16-year-old girl was operated
on in the state hospital, and no less
than 125 needles were taken out of her
hands and arms. It senvs that she did
not like to go to school and as an ex
cuse would stick needles into herself.
She semed to have suffered no great
inconvenience from doing so.
The four-year-old son of a French
packer recently disappeared, and the
authorities instituted a search, but
without result. The same day, how
ever, the boy was returned in a pack
ing case which had been sent to a cus
tomer as containing goods. The child
had apparently got into the empty
case, fallen asleep, and bad been
packed up. Luckily, the lid only fitted
loosely, and the boy is none the worse
for the adventure.
The Eskimos possessed the most re
markable place of worship ** tho
world! It was a sealskin church.
Forty sealskins were stretched over a
light framework, and in this tent, 18
feet by 12, services were held every
Sunday. But the church came to an
untimely end. One hard winter the
Eskimos’ dogs, being half famished,
dined on the sealskins, and only the
frame was left. The Eskimos have
now erected a dog proof tabernacle.
A procession of the unemployed that
took place in 1764 says the London Ex
press, did not meet with any great suc
cess or public sympathy. In that year
wigs went out of fashion, and the wig
makers of London were thrown out of
work and reduced to distress. They
petitioned George 111 to compel gentle
men to wear wigs by law. As the wig
makers went in procession to St,
James to present their petition it was
noliced that most of those persons who
wanted to compel other people to
wear wigs wore no wigs themselves.
This striking the London mob as very
inconsistent, they seized the proces
sionists and forcibly cut off all their
hair.
An interesting discovery was made
recently at Peterborough cathedral
during the progress of some evacua
tions in connection with the underpin
ning of the soulh wall of the sanctuary.
Three stone coffins, one very largo and
two smaller, and the stem of a Saxon
cross, richly ornamented with mould
ing of a well known Celtic pattern,
were discovered. The spot is the north
t 'Stern extremity of the Saxon church
{which was destroyed by fire by tho
•Danes, and propably formed part of a
monastic burial ground. Archaeolo
gists believe the small eolfins may have
been those of the children of onp of
the kings of Mercia. The cross is to be
preserved in the cethadral.

EDUCATION THAT EDUCATES.
Practical Tests Better Than Mere
Memorizing in Schools.
Educators are growing fonder and
fonder of the idea of making educa
tion practical. In Brooklyn anew
plan lias hen adopted for examinations
for graduation from high schools, and
the student’s standing is based more
largely on class work through the year
and less on the result of closing tests.
Each principal conducts examinations
at his own discretion, but the empha
sis is thrown upon practical ability in
stead of on the mere accumulation of
facts. The class work will be made to
turn on the power to think rather than
to memorize. Tho Brooklyn Eagle
says:
“For instance, in languages, the ex
aminations will be designed to test tho
pupils’ power to read at sight and to
translate into idiomatic English, in
English literature a knowledge of tho
history of literature and good taste
in KJiu s wm ne eotihieu raiher than
knowledge of any text book, in Eng
lish composition the test will lie the
ability to make a clear synopsis of a
composition, and to write clearly and
accurately, while the long-despised and
neglected spelling will he counted, in
science the number of experiments
performed and the student’s skill,
neatness and accuracy in performing
them will hold first place, and in his
tory tho knowledge of the sequence of
important evonts and ability to trace
causes to results will be tested by the
examinations.”
Everywhere there is a reaction from
the craze for bigness, and "quality,"
not “quantity," is again becoming the
desideratum. Nowhere is this change
more important and more hopeful than
in the field of education, in traveling
through life only such baggage is de
sirable as can be utilized for the needs
of the journey.—Troy Press.
Danger in Fake Hanging.
"The sensation of hanging is not.
painful,” said one of the clerks in the
Coroner’s olfice. "I have investigated
this matter a little. 1 have talked to
would-be suicides who tried to bang
themselves and were cut down. They
all all say they felt no pain. The usual
statement is about like this:
" ‘As soon as I began to hang I felt
a choking sensation, as though I eouhl
not breath, and there seemed to lie a
weight fastened to my feet. 1 couldn’t
move my arms or legs. I couldn’t draw
myself up. There was a rattling sound
In my ears, but before my eyes every
thing was black. All this lasted only a
moment. Then everything faded away,
and I felt nothing more till they
brought me to.’
“The general statement, you’ll no
tice, is to tho effect that hanging pro
duces helplessness. You can’t, once
tho process is started, draw yourself
up or help yourself in any way. Now,
it Is iny theory that this accounts for
a good many of the horribly sad sui
cides wo hear about —those causeless,
absurd suicides of the young and un
fortunate.
“The young person thinks to shock
or punish tiiose who have offended him
by pretending to hang himself. He
thinks he will step off a chair with a
rope fastened around his neck, and if
no one comes to cut him down he will
step hack again and repeat the ‘fake’
hanging when he is surer of an au

he steps off the chair lie is done for.
That helpless sensation, the inability
to move the arms or legs, the feeling
as of a great, weight attached to the
feet —this helplessness has caused, I
am persuaded, many a pretended sui
cide to become a real one.”
Setback for Submarines.
A Berlin dispatch says: The Ger
man Admiralty lias definitely decided
against the adoption of submarines.
After a series of exhaustive trials at
Kiel and a careful consideration of
tho results obtained by other coun
tries, especially France, the German
naval authorities have come to the
conclusion that either for offence or
defence the submarine, as at pre out
existing, is useless.
None will, therefore, be built or
bought, liut the government will con
tinue to watch developments.

Wasps and Spiders.
Tn a late interesting aerount of
spider life, Dr. described
the ruthless destruction by the ich
neumon fly and by certain wasps.
The young of some wasps can live
only on live spiders, and tho mother
wasp, therefore, renders tho spider3
powerless by her sting—after which
they can live a month—and then she
deposits them in tho cocoon where
sho has placed her egg. On hatching
out, the wasp grubs feed on tho
bodies of tho living spinors. An
other w’asp deposits her egg In tho
body of a spider, which is then buried
alive, and is fed upon by tho w’asp
grub.
