THE PHOTOGRAPHER.
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. _

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

HUMAN SC' (ECROWS.

Human beings as sc. *ows?
Why not? It may seem q, and
brutal to an American, but . "ngland
the human scarecrow is amnion.
As he stands out there in the
,^e *1.^ 4?.,f C.,OVUL- <;?!/! iharj

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.
Tho Language of tha Seas.
On board ships of many different
nations orders are now given in the
English or American language.
Every vessel that sails from a foreign
port must have a captain who i
can talk American. A snip which
called at Redondo Beach had a German
captain and a Chinese crew.
"How do you tgive your commands?"
he was asked. "In English,
of course," he replied. "It i?
the language* of the seas." ? Los
