COLD PHOTOGRAPHY.
One day last summer an old farmer and his wife were in a Detroit photograph gallery to have some pictures taken of the wife. Before proceeding to business the farmer took the artist aside and confidentially observed, " The 01. l lady was bound to come, and I couldn't prevent her, but now I want you to do me a favour. She's got ears like a cow, and the biggest mouth I ever saw on a woman. Her picture
Would bo a langhins-sfo'-k for all Iho children, and I know she'd he sovry when too late. Tell her that she'il talc best in cold weather, and than I'll Six the rest." Tho artist performed his errand, and the woman went away both dissapointed and pleased. The other day, when old zero was just howling himself hoarse, the same pair returned to the gallery, and tho farmer seated Ids wife as far from the Rtove as possible, and ordered her to he "taken" at once. As the artist hurried to obey, the farmer cornered him, and whispered, " Magnificent and unbounded success! Heat expands—cold contracts ! Go ahead af:>re she thaws out! Hooiv.y for science and me !"—American paper.
