The picture wai a remarkably good one when we lake into consideration the fact that It is very dilHcult to get a good picture of a group wltere there is so much difference in ago.is.

If each head with a body and pair of legs at­ tached to it would go to the printer or publisher of that paper and pay liiui the pitllul sum charged for aobscrip- tion, would It not be much more credit­ able ? Every mail who thus reads a newspaper cheats eo.iue uoe uniuevteil with it, getting it out of its price. We see tills species of pv>tit iarceuy com­ mitted every day.
