Elizabeth Flint Wade has an illus trated paper on "Photography Its Mar vels" in St. Nicholas. The author says : The first accounts of this great dis covery are very entertaining reading. Professor Morse , the inventor of the telegraph , was in Paris when the news was published , and at once went to see Daguerro's wonderful pictures. In de scribing them afterward ho said that moving objects made no impression on the plate , for a picture taken of a crowded boulevard showed it as if en tirely deserted , with the exception of a man having his shoes polished. The man's feet , ho said , were well defined , because they were kept stationary , but ho was without head or body , for these were in motion. To America belongs the honor of making the first photographic portrait , the artist being Professor John Draper , 3 professor ami afterward the president of the Dili versify of New York. His victim wan his sister , Miss Catherine Draper. Ha powdered her face , that the likeness might be more quickly im pressed on the sensitive plate , and for 80 minutes Miss Draper sat or , at least , tried to sit as immovable as a statue. The first class in photography was formed in Boston in tlie spriug of 1840 by Daguerre's agent , Gourad of Paris. The Rev. Edward Everett Hale , then a student in Harvard , became an enthusi astic member of the class. In his diary , under date of April 1 , 1840 , is this en try : "On my way homo I stopped at the shop and got my daguerreotype ther mometer. There seems to be a great de mand ; there were three or four others there. " THE RICH RUSSIAN. He Has a Wcaknehi For an Army of Fam ily Servants. Wo were a family of 8 , occasionally of 10 or 12 says Prince Kropotkin in The Atlantic , but 50 servants at Mos cow , and half as many more in the country , v ; < ? ro considered not one too many. Four coachmen to attend a dozen horses , three cooks for the masters and two more for the servants , a dozen men to wait upon us at dinner time ono man , plato iu hand , standing behind each person seated at the table and girls innumerable in the maidservants' room , but how could any ono do with less than this ? Besides , the ambition of every landed proprietor was that everything required for his household should be made at homo by his "own" mn. . "How nicely yourmo is alwayn tuned. I suppose Herr fcjchimmel must be your tuner ? " one of the visitors would remark. To bo able to answer , "I have my own piano tuner , " was in those times the correct thing. "What beautiful pastry ! " the guests would exclaim when a work of art , composed of ices and pastry , appeared toward the end of the dinner. "Confess , prince , that it comes from Tremble" ( the fashionable pastry cook ) . ? "It is my own confectioner , a pupil of Tremble , whom I have allowed to show what he can do , " was the reply which elicited general admiration. To have embroideries , harnesses , fur niture in fact everything made by one's "own" men was the ideal of the rich and respected lauded proprietor. Bismarck as Dr. Jekyll. No greater contrast could possibly bo imagined than that which existed be tween the Bismarck of private life and the Bismarck of politics. "In the homo sircle , " writes a correspondent who knew him well , "he was perfectly jharmiug , easy going and good uaturerl. Ho was passionately fond of children , Mid I have seen him over and over again iiave a game with the little ones of his gardener , who were very familiar with aim and would not hesitate to climb ipoii his knee. "Once when his gardener's little girl lied the great statesman went to con- lolo with him. He was dreadfully up- et and while holding the poor father's laud burst into tears , for he was very bud of the child. Ho kissed the little : orpse and himself placed a bunch of oses in its hand. He was always eager o assist his poorer neighbors and en- eyed chatting with them on all snfa cets but politics. These he never men- ioned. " London Chronicle. The Professor's IVHtlora.

There was a painful lack of variety in our food. Men dying of thirst spend their last hour in thinking of iced champagne , sherry cobblers , cocktails and drafts of beer , whiskies and sodas , dead horses' heads or whatever their particular beverage may bo. Wo gas- trouomically fooled ourselves to the top of our bent."I think , " one would say , "when we get to the Hotel do Paris to night we'll have a nice little French dinner of six courses , with coffee and green chartreuse to wind up with. " "Well , " another would remark , " 1 should bo content with some soup , a little fish , a slice of beef and some tart. ' "Chopsand tomato sauce forme , " mur mured a third , oblivious of the fact that befell Mr. Pickwick , who bad a similar desire. Then wo would reach a slimy , bei- grimed village , creep into a smelling hut and make our dinner of pork anil rice , or rice and po c when we desired to vary the menu. But ono night , at u spot called Taipiug-pu , when we railed for the perennial pork wo were inform ed wo could not be supplied. "No pork , " wo exclaimed , "no pork iu China ! Why , Chinamen are three parts pork. " Then we were told wo were ii a Mussulman village , where swine were an abomination , but we could have salt beef. We jumped joyfully at the salt beef , so called , though wo knew per fectly well it was nothing else but stale , unprofitablesinewy wild goat. Travel A Day to the Mrs. De Gadd I heard the awfnllcst things about Mr. Do Good today. They say he steals the church funds. Mr. Do G. Nonsense. "Oh , I've no doubt it's true.

His friends made him a small allowance of 120 per annum equal at , Caen to 300 but he could not bo expected - , pected to live on such a pittance. When , he had not 4 francs in the world , he would order boot polish at 5 francs a bottle from Paris and call the trades man who supplied it "a scoundrel" for ( venturing to ask for iiis money. In the | end his intellect gave way. Ho Ictt his i memory and much of his little mind. He grew slovenly and careless , yet to ! the last clang to his can do cologne ami j some other luxuries. Finally , his mind j all gone , ho was removed to a charity | hospital , being now reduced to the utmost - j most impoverishment and content to change his linen once a mouth , instead of three times a day , as of old.

Melba recently gave an inter- ! estiug account of her first public ap-1 pearance. "I was quite a young girl in !
