TEST BY PHOTOGRAPHER.
H* Discovers That In Some Ways the
Whole World Is Kin.
“You note,” said the photogra¬
pher, “that in pictures taken any¬
where, in any part of the globe, the
humans face the camera as if they
wanted to be taken. It may be
vanity, but they all seem to like to
get into the picture,
“Take a group picture made any¬
where, say among your own tribe.
Note the people in the rear with
necks craned to get out from behind
blanketing people in front, so that
their faces will show. Shyness or
modesty may keep some who are in
the background from doing this, but
unless the photographer has person¬
ally posed every member of the
group bo that he will show you will
always find in such pictures some
figures of persons who would other¬
wise been more or less obscured, but
who have so disposed themselves as
to make sure that their faces show.
“So of any set group, and the
same would be true of any sort of
picture in which many persons were
taken, as at a banquet or a wedding.
People like to get into the picture.
“Just how true this is appears in
many ways in all sorts of pictures—
in pictures in which people are not
the main but only incidental or sub¬
ordinate features, as of accidents or
ruins or scenes of a great variety of
eorts. In such pictures where the
presence of the camera wms known
you will always find some persons
facing or turning toward the pho¬
tographer, with an evident desire to
get into the picture, and it is easy
to imagine that the gratification, of
seeing themselves there may give
them pleasure.
“Look at pictures taken of semi
savage or semicivilized people in re¬
motest countries, where perhaps
they had never seen a mirror or
heard of a camera, but you may be
sure that human vanity exists as it
does with us, and you may see some¬
body trying to get into the picture
or smiling to look well in it.
“Seriously, this pleases me as no
other one minor thing that I know
of does. It brings the whole world
closer together, for it shows that
however far apart in land and
tongue and customs the races of the
world may be, yet in some at least
of man’s underlying human traits
we are all kin.”—New York Sun.
A Good Name.
After the civil war many offers of
places of honor and fame came to
General Robert E. Lee. He refused
them all, says Thomas Nelson Page,
in his biography of the soldier. The
only position which he finally did
accept was the with presidency of Wash¬
ington college, a small salary.
On one of these occasions Lee
was approached with the tender of
the presidency of an insurance com¬
pany at a salary of $50,000 a year.
He declined it, saying that it was
work with which he was not famil¬
iar.
“But, general,” said the repre¬
sentative of the insurance company,
“you will not be expected to dq any
work. What we wish is the use of
your name.”
“Do you pot think,” said General
Lee, “that if my name is worth $50,
000 a year I ought to be very care¬
ful about taking caro of it ?”

“ I was run down and weak from
indigestion and general debility, also
suffered from vertigo. I saw a cod

and the results were most gratifying.
After taking two bottles 1 regained my strength, and am

The Lone Star Emblem.
“The Lone Star emblem,” said Guy
M. Bryan in telling the story of the
Texas flag to the Texas Veterans’ as¬
sociation in 1873, “was a fortunate ac
cldeut In the old days overcoats were
ornamented with large brass buttons.
It happened that the buttons ou the
overcoat of Governor Smith had the
impress of a five pointed star. For
want of a seal one of these buttons
was cut off and used.” The owner of
this overcoat and of the button, Henry
Smith, was thief executive of the pro
visional government of Texas, which
in 1835 preceded the declaration of
independence by Texas against Mexico
and the winning of that Independence
in the battle of San Jacinto on April
21, lS3ti.
Evil Effects of Shoes.
With the increase of protection the
feet have become weaker from con¬
finement and to a considerable extent
have lost their natural elasticity and
mobility. Their ventilation and circu¬
lation are also interfered with. More¬
over. certain deformities and painful
affections have become so 'common
from unhygienic footwear and front
too prolonged standing that tlie idea
Is prevalent that all feet are more or
less ugly, painful and helpless. Even
the idea of the natural shape of the
foot is lost, and a false standard of
shape, having its its basis the conven¬
tional shape of the shoe, has to a cer¬
tain extent taken its place.—Henry
Ling Taylor In Good Housekeeping.
