A "horse lover" writes urging very strongly the use of rubber horseshoes when the streets are slippery, andexpres 863 "wonder why horse owners do not more generally save their horses in life and limb by using shoes made of rubber --aot the pads whichever the surface ol the hoof and are really a detriment, but the genuine shoe, made of rubber and steel." WHATit means to a man to come home at night to a cheerful wife no one but he who has had to fight in the hard battle of life knows. If he is prosperous, it i6 an added joy; but it is in misfortune that it shines like a star in the darkness A complaining wife can kill the last bit of hope and courage in a sorely troubled heart, while a cheerful one gives new courage to begin the light over again. / THE riarreville factory is closed. The Crown Point Creamery company, has no money and no property in sight, and the twenty-three patrons are swindled out of $2,500 to $3,000, running from $300 down.

"RAMBLER," in Every Saturday, who is noted for telling plain truths, has th^ following: "There is art in almost every­ thing. I was watching a gentleman smoking a cigar the other evening; he was an artist. 1 set my thinker to work 'What is worth doing at all is worth doing well,' is an old saw that has thf life of a burning truth. It may be a question whether it is worth while to smoke at all, but if you do try to do it gracefully. Some men we meet look like misery smoking a cigar, just because they are not artistic. They are so awk­ ward that they cut a sorry spectacle They look, probably, worse than they feel, if not, they feel horrible." Look out for Mad Dogs. „ An epedemic of rabies prevails among the dogs of Evanston and adjacant cities It is rather unusual for this tiiue of the year, but a thorough investigation by experts has confirmed the belief of many as they have pronounced the deseaee "blind hydrophobia." It is also call* d dumb rabies. Several owners of dogs in this city have noticed their dogs have sore eyes and rather than run any risk have dispatch ed the canines. Considerable precaution should be taken as the epidemic is said to be spreading very fast -- 1F/J nkegiw Sun. Arbuckles Coffee 10 cents per pound at Owen & Chapell's, The Village of Plerz Minnesota.

Prom the Photo-Beacon, Portraiture By Flash Light. Oae of the practical results following the publication of Mr. Inglis' book on artistic lighting has been to create a keener interest in the subject of por­ traiture by flash light. In this book, as our readers knOw, the principles of light­ ing are laid down in a clear and simple manner, and in the second part of the volume it is shown how these principles can be followed by flash light. It is there recommended to attach a piece of gas piping with burner to the flash-light machine so that the operator can see on the sitter's face the effect he wants before making the exposure. But there are many parts of the world where gas can­ not be had, and in such a case a different method must be adopted. Mr. Bennett of McHenry, 111., has got aronnd this diffi­ culty in rather an ingenious way, and very kindly sends us a note and illustra- tration which will undoubtedly ? be very helpful to many. He has an iron rod about three, feet long fastened to the ceiling, and on this.he hangs a lamp fey means, of pulleys. This permits of a side movement of the lamp so as to get the effect he desires on any particular face. By another arrangment, easily under­ stood from the illustration, he can raise or lower the lamp at will. In practice he poses his subject, and' sets his camera near the kerosene lamp. Then he determines the position and size of the image on the ground glass. To judge of the lighting he .finds it better to remove the lens board and ground glass, as by sitting on a chair he can study the exact view of the image that is in the'field of tho leus. A touch on the balancing weight moves the lamp to the right or left, up or down, as may be necessary. Once everything is satisfac­ tory, the lens and ground glass are re­ turned tc their place aud a stand flash lamp is placed immediately in front of the kerosene lamp, which is now pushed to oae side,. When the exposure is made, the effect will be just what was seen when looking through the camera. Mr. Bennett uses a stand lamp with pneumatic release, but suggests that those not possessing one can easily rig up a makeshift by fixing an alcohol lamp to a head rest and by having a long rod with a hinged pan above the flame. By uullisg a BtrinE, the catch supporting the pah could be set free, the po wder would fall into the flame and be exploded. For Rebrandt effects the lamp should be about eight feet from the floor, the subject being under it and a little in front. Lighting can be studied as de­ scribed earlier. Working in the daytime Mr. Bennett « 11 i-U, tiic uuUio auu yv 1UUU.WB MO lllfctl the conditions are exactly as at night [n the room there are no reflectors, nothing white at all except the photog­ rapher's shirt front.
