AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHS.
How a Man Talks When He Shows
Them to a Friend.
Here's the way the average man
shows his little book of amateur pho-
tographs to a friend:
"This is supposed to be my wife, but
It ain't very good. Let's see the next
one. Well, that's the baby, but the
sun was wrong. On this page is a fam-
ily group. I took it myself, and It
would be a good picture if three of
'em hadn't moved. Oh, yesl Here's
one my ife took of me. Looks like
the dickens, don't it? She ain't used
to the camera, but notice how I'm grin-
ning.
"And d'you see what a good back-
ground I'm posed In? l'd just got back
from the office, and she just had one
film left and thought she might as well
snap me and finish up the roll—you
see, I didn't have time to comb my hair
or—what? Why, the one on the next
page is a freak thing my next door
neighbor snapped, showing his baby
falling out of an upstairs window. Not
much good—he didn't have a good
light, and the baby was falling too fast
to be quite in focus. Now, here's an-
other one of me—my wife never could
get the hang of the camera, but people
say the wink is natural. I had quite a
bunch of 'em printed because she want-
ed 'em to give around. Oli, those pic-
tures are pretty fair. We took them
at the lakes. There's people you don't
know in 'em, and you'll hardly be in-
terested. Well, hey, Mary, what's be-
come of that one with me in it? I
wish you'd keep all these pictures to-
gether. You monkey with this book
till all the best ones get lost out!
"Well, I guess the rest won't inter-
est you. 'We keep 'em because they're
good souvenirs. Lot o' my wife's
friends posed in the grand canyon. and
such. A professional photographer
don't get the personal touches that
make these snapshot pictures nice to
keep. Now, just take that one of me
you saw back there. It's not much
good as a likeness, but they tell me
there's something characteristic about
it—what? Why turn back? It's on
page 3.".
Cannon and Thunder Compared.
The comparison between the sound
of cannon and "heaven's artillery" is
hackneyed enough. But the human in-
vention can at least claim great su-
periority as regards the area over
which it is heard. There is no doubt
about cannon fire being heard well
over 100 miles away. The guns of
Waterloo were heard at Creli, fifty
leagues distant from the battlefield.
But it is doubtful whether thunder
can be heard at a greater distance
than twenty miles. When the church
steeple of Lostwithiel was destroyed
by lightning, to the accompaniment of
such a roar of thunder that the oldest
inhabitant could not remember, Smea-
ton, the engineer, who was about thir-
ty miles distant, heard not the slight-
est noise,=London Standard.
The Aurora Borealis.
Many people believe that the aurora
borealis is a phenomenon, peculiar to
modern times. But this is not true.
The ancients used to call it cbasmata,
bolides and trabes, names which ex-
pressed the different colors of the
lights. The scarlet aurora was looked
upon by the superstitious barbarians
as an omen of direful slaughter; so it
is not unusual for descriptions of
bloody battles to contain allusions to
northern lights.
Children's First Shoes.
Let the first shoo be ou the order of
an Indian moccasin, and as the foot
grows it should be fitted from trac-
ings.
Ilave the child .stand upon a piece of
paper and trace the outline of the foot
with ar pencil.
Use this as a guide when buying his
shoes. and you will never make the
mistake of getting them too small or
ill fitting.
Getting Gamy.
Perturbed Diner—What on earth is
the matter with you this evening, wait-
er? First yon give me the fish. and
now you give me the soup. waiter
(confidentially)—Well, to tell the truth,
sir, it was 'igb time you 'ad that fish.
After the soup it'd ha' been too late.—
London Mail.
Quite Satisfied.
In old age Boswell said to Johnson,
apropos the dictionary, "You did not
know what you were undertaking."
"Yes, sir," was the answer, "I knew
very well what I was undertaking and
very well how to do it and have done
it very well."—London Standard.
Open to Any Offer.
Young Man—So Miss Ethel is your
eldest sister. Who comes after her?
Small Brother—Nobody ain't come yet,
but pa says the first fellow that comes
can have her.—London Stray Stories.
Turtle Eggs.
Turtle eggs are an acquired taste
with most people, although they are
not so with bears. They have a rough
yellow yolk and a white like any other
egg, but you can cook them for a year
and the white part will remain liquid.
Notice a curious dimple in the sside of
each one. If yon squeeze it out the
dimple appears ou the utlf'r side, and
you can never get hold of a turtle egg
which hasn't got a dimple in it.
Distribution.
"The question of distribution is one
of the most serious of our time," re-
marked the ponderous man.
"It Is," replied Miss Cayenne. "'There
is no telling what tmay happen to the
simplest statement of innocent fact
after It has been passed around by the
gossips." -

Sallows, photographer of Goderich,

daughters, Elmira and Edna at home.
The customs collections of Goderich
,tnd its outports for the month of
December, 1915, were $13,504,05. This

One family in Listowel that quite ap•
parently is doing it's "bit" and chat
should serve as an incentive to others,
is that of Mr. and Mrs. John C. Hay,
who have three sons, George A. Hay,
Gordon C. Hay, and Blake D. Hay, in
khaki. In addition to these, an older
son, Mervyn, manager of the Imperial
bank at Edmonton, has enlisted for
home defence and is taking an officer's
training course.
The King Edward Hotel, one of the
largest hostelries in Guelph, is in the
hands of the bailiff to -day, and Mr.
Reynolds, the tenant of the premises,
alleges that the hours cut off from the
bar by reason of the early closing is
responsible for the present state of
affairs. Mr. Reynolds was proprietor
of the British Exchange hotel at
Goderich prior to the passing of the
Canada Temperance Act in Huron
county.
