George Shiras, 3d, was the ori- , ginator of the sport of hunting wild game with the camera. For twenty years he has devoted his vacations to this recreation, and the methods and implements which he has invented have been adopted throughout the world. All| of Mr. Shiras’s cameravshooting has been directed against game in the strict- est sense wild, and his description, in a recent. number of the National Geogra- phic ltlugazine, of how his night pictures were taken is both interesting and in- structive. Ordinarily, Mr. Shiras says, it is pre-. fcrable to seek the game along the water- courses, and as most wild game is large. Jy nocturnal in its habits, he has usually sought his game in a boat rigged espe~ eially for such purpose. In the bow of a light. fourteenâ€"foot is set a frame upon which two cameras are placed, focussed at from thirty to forty feet. Above this is placed a lamp with a strong reflector, which throws the' rays directly in front of the boat. The deer and moose feed among the lily-pads and grasses along the edge of the water. They are not ordinarily frightened by the approach of the light, because their curiosity is strong and the bright rays of the lamp blind them, so- that they cannot see the boat or its oc- cupants. . This method of approaching game is well known to hunters, and is called hunting with a jack-light. It has been the subject of much discussion among sportsmen, nearly all of whom now agree that it does not give the deer that. chance for his life which true sport de mands. At this point, if the hunting were with firearms, there would be a red spurt of fire from under the jack-light, and the deer would be struggling and plunging toward the brush. But with camera- hunting there is no sound or sign of life, only the slowly gaining light. Twenty-five yards now, and the ques- tion is, Will he stand a moment longer? , The flash-light apparatus has been raised well above any obstructions in the front of the boat, the powder lies in the pan ready to ignite at the pull of the trigger: everything is ready for innue- diate action. Closer comes the boat, and still the blue, translucent eyeballs watch it. What a strange phenomenon this pretty light is! Nothing like it. has ever been seen on the lake during the days of his deerhood. Fifteen yards now, and the tension is becoming great. Suddenly there is a click, and a white wave of light breaks out from the bow of the boatâ€"deer, hills, trees, everything stands out for a moment in the white glare of a. neon- day. A dull report, and then a veil of inky darkness descends. Just a twenty-fifth of a second has elapsed, but it hasbecn long enough to fix the picture of the deer on the plates of the cameras, and long enough to blind for a moment the eyes of both deer and men. Somewhere out. in the darkness the deer makes a mighty leap; he has sprung toward the boat, and a wave of water splashes over its occupants. Again he springs, this time toward the bank; he is beginning to see a little now, and soon he is heard running, as only a frightened deer can, away from the light that looked so beautiful, but was in fact so terrifying. Sometimes the sport is varied by let- ting the game take its own. picture. A string is passed across a runway, or other point where animals are likely to pass, \vhich, when touched, sets off the trigger and ignites the magnesium pow- der. The same method can be used for day- light pictures, except that here a slender black thread is laid across the path, one end of which is attached to the shutter of the camera. The shutter acts as soon as there is any pressure on the threat, and a picture of any passing object is taken instantaneously. Not the least interesting part of this kind of photography is the fact. that the operator does not know until he de- velops his plates what manner of beast, bird, or reptile has photographed itself.

The discussion has brought out the fact that the best phystc-ians in Canada and on the con- tinent: approve of and prescribe Psy-‘ l chino in cases of the most difficult character. In a, recent instance of very serious throat and lung trouble the mutant had been using Psychine. Two loading United States specialists were consulted, in addition to two eminent Canadian physicians. Upon} learning what the patient was using, a. sample of Psychine was taken and: analyzed, with the result that the physicians advised its continuance. They prescribed no other Imediodne but Psychine, with the recruit that the pa.- ttent has fully recovered and is ll splendid walking and talking adver-l ,tisement for the wonderful curative power of a. remedy that will “stand up" before the keenest professional! criticism and analysis. As a. builder up of the system and restoring all wasted conditions, Psychine has no equal, and the best and most: earnest physicians recognize this fact.

Her pearls are worth over £70,000, and took Lord lvcagh a long time to collect. Lady Rothschild, the COuntess of Dudley, the Countess of Anncsley, and Lady Den- man all own most beautiful pearls.

To many people the most interesting parts of Windsor Castle are the private apartments occupied by the late Queen, and also now by King Edward and Queen Alexandra. The suite is ap- proached from a small circular hall, hung round with the late Queen’s favor- ite family pictures, especially represenâ€" tations of all her children’s weddings, which she always had painth as me- mentoes of the deeply-interesting event. In this gallery she kept all her most prized possessions, one of which was a crystal case containing ,Gcn. Gordon’s Bible, open at his favorite chapter. The laleQuccn had always cherished the greatest admiration for Gordon, and ’ was known to be deeply grieved over ,his fate. This Bible had been presented to her by Gordon‘s. sister in private audience. Another possession most dear to her,- 'which was always kept me sort of oak shrine, and only opened and shown to her most intimate friends, was the beautiful statue in pure Carrara marble of herself. “It‘s ridiculous for a young man to ,get married as soon as he comes of- age!” said an riderly-bachelor. “Think lso, do yxai?“ said his maâ€"f‘ri'edfriend.
