How can women who are weak and sickly expect or hope to become mothers of healthy children? Their first duty is to themselves. They should overcome the derangement or debility that is dragging tnem down, and strengthen the entire system, as did Mrs. Janssen, by taking Lydia E.

As he warmed to his theme, he became most eloquent, and frequently repeated the saying: More light! Oh, for more light! His surprise may he imagined when, after one of these utterances, the old sexton, who had been dozing since the beginning of the sermon, woke with a start, then got up, tintoed softly into the vestry, seized two additional candles and, ascending the pulpit stairs, placed them beside the two already there, and in a loud whisper, heard all over the church, exf claimed: Yo shore got to do with these; there aint no mo. A ERE are two names that are sure of immortality : Catherine Dorothy Drup- er and John William Draper, For there will always be encyclopedia' in which is the record of human progress and individual achievement. And these encyclopedias will contain articles on photography. And no article on photography Is complete without mention of these two names. For the first photograph of the human face was that of the fair features of Miss Draper. And the man who made the photograph was her brother, Professor Draper. Moreover, whenever photographer' meet to discuss heir art, the story of the first photographic portrait is ia.pt to be retold. At the recent convention of the American Chemical society at Rochester, N. Y., Prof. Francis Owen Rice of New York university retold the story and exhibited the copy of the photograph reproduced herewith. f Interesting in this connection are the other photographs reproduced. Each gives a glimpse of the progress that has been made in the 82 years .Since the Drapers achieved immortality. The photograph of Theodore Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the navy, which shows him in the act of t speaking, is the familiar which the veriest amateur of the present day can take.

He became one of the best of our early portrait painters and a credit to his masters. lie was the first president of the National Academy of Design. The University of the City of New York made him professor of the history of art in 1S35. It was while returning from Europe in 1832 that he conceived the idea of the telegraph, but it was not until 1844 that his efforts were successful and lie was able to send over the wire the message, Wlmt hath God wrought? John William Draper was horn near Liverpool, England, and came to America in 1831. He graduated in medicine in 1836 from the University of Pennsylvania. He took the chair of chemistry and natural history in the University of New York in 1839. In 1841 he became professor of chemistry in the medical department of the university. So, you see, in 1839, when Daguerre made his announcement of the first photograph, Morse and Draper were colleagues in New- York university. Morse was interested in photography through his portrait painting and in chemistry through his telegraph on which lie was working. Draper was interested in photography through his chemical investigations. What 'more natural, then, that Morse should hasten to write Draper of Daguerres success in taking a photograph in n camera? Moreover, Morse gave a full account of Daguerres He and Daguerre were process. friends, the Frenchman having traveled in America, exhibiting dissolving entor. Mass., and was graduated (1811-1SS- - views. Draper studied Morses account. He quickly saw changes that could be made in the process to shorten the exposure of minutes to seconds. These, If successful, would enable him to make a photograph of a living subject. So Draper immediately constructed a camera made out of a cigar box and two spectacle lenses. Preliminary experiments gave promise of success. Then he asked his sister to sit for him. She dressed up for the occasion In the costume fashionable among New York belles of the day and climbed with her brother to the roof of the university building where the sun was shining In full summer glare. Draper first covered his sisters face with a thick coating of white. Then he put her down in a . chair and clamped her head in an iron brace to prevent her moving.

Then he closed the camera and hurried to the dark room to develop the plate. As a matter of fact, all he really hoped to get was proof that an instantaneous exposure was feasible.
