H* Is One of the Cleverest Diplomats t In the World. j ^ In the kingdom of vanity fair t. and vanity that i* not fair, but j would bo, thore is the interpreter, ; the man who makes free transla- ; j. j tions of foibles, conceits, caprices. !a ; He deals witto human nature in the i j, | raw and is an individual without u : illusions. ~ He humbly calls his profession y that of photographer. His associates know that he is more than a simple maker of pictures. They will tell tf you he is an artist, a psychologist, ^ a diplomat, a strategist, a person s, of magnetism and affability ? in- p deed, a combination of those vir- p tues which make him '"all things to all men." , C( "I want a picture like thesays a stout dame, holding up the li' v neas of a symmetrical memtv" f her sex, who stands erect / 3 bunch of roses in her hand. Now the photographer realiaea ^ that he is face to face with a stiff proposition, one of many in the day's work. He takes a dozen proofs and sends them for approval. One a is returned with an ink mark drawn Gi perpendicularly along - the waist ^ line. If the instructions are not written out, as they sometimes are, the presence of the line means take Si that much off?make me thinner ei at the waist. Allowing for the fact that the one eye of the camera makes a broader, flatter surface than is seen by the two human eyes, the photographer proceeds to m scrape or "doctor" the negative. And what is the result ? The worn- ri an gets a picture that suits her fan- J cy, but really does not make her so thin as she imagines. One day not long ago a woman sat before a Fifth avenue photographer after spending two hours at a Hairdresser's. She came back in a hurry with the proofs and said indignantly: "Why, these are awful! , My hair has never looked like that in any picture!" rt "Did you ever have it done that ^ way before?" was the polite in , quiry. The woman wa3 somewhat em- a; barrassed. "No," she admitted, "I never did." Then the photographer rebuked w her gently. g "There's a moral in this," said he. "Never go to the hairdresser D before the photographer. It only makes a person look tired, and the hairdresser's art doesn't help the photographer." 9Another woman could not understand why her chin stuck out so far, but she elucidated the mystery n herself when she explained that the ^ morning of her sitting was the first on which 3he had worn an unusual- I? lv high collar. That naturally ^ changed her appearance. ? W. B. _ Havward in Bohemian Magazine. Si Sharks Fear Noise. a' The cowardliness of sharks is t)_ well known among men who have been much to sea in southern waters infested by man eaters. The * fiercest shark will set out of the sea way in a very great hurry if the swimmer, noticing its approach, ~~ sets up a noisy splashing. A shark ar is in deadly fear of any sort of liv- at ing thing that splashes in the water. ^ Among the south sea islands the IT natives never go sea bathing alone, but always in parties of half a doz- g( en or so in order that they may w make the greatest hubbub in the water and thus scare the sharks _I away,. Once in awhile a too ven- ^ turesome swimmer among these na- te tives foolishly detaches himself in from hia swimming party and mo- si< mentarily forgets to keep up his ^ splashing. Then there is a swish, M and the man eater comes up he- ~~ neath him like a flash and gobbles blm. y in fflwwTwnwwwjfttwnww :eived Collars, 1 n * Belting and a" look Dry liiUiUUiUtiUUiUUUUUiUUUU How's Tbis!

As he stands out there in the ,^e *1.^ 4?.,f C.,OVUL- <;?!/! iharj IlliUUlC Ul llIC liilt UiillVia uv. ni Hid v is little to show lie is not the ordinary inanimate scarecrow. He stands motionless for five minutes at a time, and only when a bird is tempted by the fresh corn just appearing above the ground does he show any sign of life. From the road outside the field he looks exactly like the conventional collection of old clothes propped upon a stick. Even the crows are contemptuous of the figure, and every now and then a number of them appear leisurely above the hedge and settle on the field. But then it is thai the scarecrow moves. He hits an old tin can with the rusty handle of a shovel ami frightens the birds and makes then* fly quickly out of sight. So he spends his day, this old-, bent man, and at the end he ? paid 36 cents. He is the village scarecrow. Whatever the weather may be, he is expected to be there. In rain he may shelter under the nearest hedge, but he must watch his fieldk, and if the birds take advantage of his absence he must go out into the open and scare them from, the corn. For litis old man knows well that he is competing for his living against the clothes propped upon a stick or the dead crows scattered about the field, and it is nccesaary that he should take a certain pridein his profession. Unless lie can show the farmer that he is more effective than the conventional scarecrows he cannot make a living in the few months between the sowing of the seed and the appearance of the corn. While the boys of the village are in school he can earn enough in these few months of the year to keep him from the workhouse. He is still capable of scaring birds. His verv clothes are a qualification. He looks exactly like a scarecrow, and he has the advantage of being able to nit an old tin can with the rusty handle of a shovel. At 1 o'clock he has his dinner of bread and cheese by the side of the hedge, but every now and then he gets up and looks around to see that the fields are free from birds. Sometimes when the day is colder than usual his granddaughter from the cottage a mile away brings him a hot dinner in a basin covered with a cloth, and while he eats she talks to him about her school and if a bird appears runs carefully on to the field and claps her hands and frightens it. And then the old man?this shabby guardian of the fields?is left alone. The only suggestion of life is a collection of old clothes propped upon a stick in the field a mile awav. And when the old man looks at this silent competitor of his he is filed with new energy and strides ofl to the field, making a great noise with his old tin can.?Baltimore Sun.
