A Be&l Bargain. *Dear," she said, and her sweetest and most engaging smile illumined her face, "if you had a handsome lap robe, could you use it?" "Certainly not," he replied. "You know very well that we haven't a vehi­ cle of any description;," "That's what I thought," she return* ed, "so I have packed it away. Later, When we are wealthy and keep horses, we can"-- - . - "Packed it away!" he exclaimed, in­ terrupting her. "Packed what away?" "Why, the lap robe," she answered sweetly. "But we haven't a lap robe," he pro­ tested. "Oh, yes, we have," she returned. "I happened to stumble into that de­ partment of one of the big stores today, and they had mbrked tbem down so low that I felt I ought to get one of them before the opportunity slipped away." "But we don't need"-- "Not now, but we may," she inter­ rupted. "It's just as well to get these things when they can be had at a bar­ gain, and this was a real bargain. You men are very thoughtless about such things. You would^-never have thought of buying this robe now. You wouldn't have the foresight, but would have waited Until you had a horse, and then, , very likely, you would have to pay a dollar more for it"--Mercantile Jour­ nal. Photography Beats the Fakirs. The Indian "mango" trick, in which a plant is' seen to grow up from the seed in a few minutes, has been'done in a new way by M. Michael Corday of the Ecole Polytechnique in France. M. Corday employs the well known cine­ matograph, or apparatus for producing "living phcftograph"--that is to say, photographic images endowed with movement and apparently with life. A rose plant is photographed at intervals during its growth until the flower buds and blooms. The photographs thus taken are combined by the cinemato­ graph and projected on a screen, so as to represent the development of the plant in a short time. The number,of photographs taken in six months should be equal to the number which the sen­ sitive band of the cinematograph will continue. Obviously the same plan will be able to show the changing aspects-of the country during the seasons in one progressive illusion, and we venture to suggest that it might be employed with advantage in illustrating various soien- tifio experiments and natural processes of an evolutionary or gradual sort- London Globe.
