CHRONIC ASTHMA wrfth Hsemorrhage of Lungt, DECLARED HOPELESS. Extraordinary results from VENOS LIGHTNING COUGH CURE. • ■ Mr Henry Beard, of 40, Hucknall-road, Car- rington, Nottingham, writes:—"I suffered for five years from chronic asthma and shortness of breath, with periodical and dangerous attacks of bleeding of the lungs. Doctors declared me incur- able. and I gave up all hope of ever being bet- ter. "Ona day, as a last resource, I began to take Dene's Lightning Cough Cure, and it at once checked the bleeding and eased the spasms, when doctors' medicine and all else had failed. I vm quite sure that your wonderful remedy has pro- longed my life. "1 was very* bad when I began taking Veno's Lightning Cough Cure, but now I am able to follow my employment. I am never without a bottle of your valuable specific." Mr Herbert C. Lees, Chemist, of Market- place, Carrington, Nottingham, verifies the above as follows:—"I can personally vouch for the value of Veno's Lightning Cough Cure in the ease of Mr Beard being indisputably and sub- stantially correct." (Signed), H. C. LEES. Veno's Lightning Cough Cure is free from all dangerous drugs, and is the safest, purest, and most effective remedy extant for asthma, coughs, ooids, bronchitis, catarrh, hoarseness, sore throat, whooping oough, and all chest and lung troubles.

HUMORS OF HISTORY." THE VILLAIN OF THE PIECE: OFF WITH HASTINGS' HEAD. To Edward IV. succeeded for eleven weeks, his young son Edward V. But now came on the scene the most sinister form in English history, Richard Crookback," Duke of Gloucester, who seized the boy King and threw him and his brother into the Tower. Next, with the aid of the Duke of Buckingham, he began to remove the young King's friends. One of the first to go was Lord Hastings, who was ar- rested m the Council Chamber on a charge of sorcery, hurried off to the Chapel yard of the tower, and beheaded instantly on a log of wood, the proper block not being at hand.

THE QUEEREST THING I EVER SAW. FIRE-WALKING IN JAPAN, M LT.-COL. ANDREW HAGGARD, D.S.O. or qf" Under Crctcmt and Star," Sport- ing Tarn* fc.). One very hot day I was travelling by train trom Tokio to Yokohama in a first class car- riage. Thinking myself alone, I took out my pipe, and having filled it, was just about to light u when, to my dismay, the sliding door which divided the carriage into two compartments was dipped back, and two Japanese ladies were dis- closed to my view, or for such I took them at first. I was, however, immediately undeceived, as I noticed that the pretty young girl seated upon the cushions, fanning herself vigorously, was, from her rich apparel, evidently the mis- tress, while the likewise prepossessing maiden seated upon the floor was, from the more som- bre and coarser kimono in which she was at- tired, apparently the mousm6 or handmaiden of the other. ON A JAPANESE RAILWAY, Observing my embarrassment aud its cause, the young lady smiled amiably and encourag- ingly at me, whereupon I was bold enough to enquire, Tabakowo Uøwø, kamaimasenka 1" which, being translated into the vernacu- lar, means, Have you any objection to the cmell of tobacco ?" Dozo otui tiasai,"—" Pray honour me by mnoking the honourable weed," accompanied by a polite bow, was the amiable reply vouchsafed to me. "QnnowtJ tabakowo tuimam," The ladies smoke here too," she added, laughing merrily, displaying the prettiest little pearly teeth as she did 80.. Then calling to her servant, Baku, to supply her with her tiny Japanese she pulled out a beautiful silver match- dgx, upon which was embossed the representa- tion of a wonderful dragon, and herself strik- ing* a light offered it to me, with that infinitely polite grace which seems peculiar to the well- ored inhabitants of the Flowery Land. Naturally, after such an amiable opening, friendly relations were soon established between the charming little Japanese and myself, and I was not long in finding that she rejoiced in the poetical name of Fujibayasi, or, Row of Wis- teria Blossoms, and that she was only, like my- self, going down to the seaside for the day, and that we were likely to be fellow-travellers again by the train upon our return to the capital in the evening. As the maiden was the merriest being imaginable, one apparently without a care in the wond, 1 enjoyed her company amazingly but at length, having exhausted for the moment all topics of conversation, I fell back upon the weather, remarking casually upon the excessive heat of the day. Instantly, to my surprise, the hitherto beaming countenance of Fujibayasi became grave, as she replied, Yes, it is indeed hot, tut not nearly so hot as walking upon fixe." Walking upon fire I exclaimed in aston- ishment, what on earth do you mean, Oh hon- ourable Fujibayasi I mean simply this, oh honourable gentle- man," she replied, that I am going to walk upon fire, to the honour of the Great God of the Mountain Ontake, one day next week, when many other worshippers of the Shinto Religion of both sexes will do the same. And it is warm work I" THI FIRE-WAITER'S DAUGHTER, Indeed it is both impossible and devilish work," I exclaimed impetuously, at her tiny feet, no bigger than s child's, and you shall attempt nothing half so barbarous if I can prevent it, 0 Lady Fujibayasi, and I can easily prevent your burning off those pretty feet and ankles by merely giving uiformation to my honourable friends at the Emperor's Court, the Viscount Tanaka, and the Baron Sannoroyxa. They will speak to his Majesty the Emperor, end hs will soon put. an end to such a horrible and dangerous adventure." It will be long before I forget the merry peal of laughter with which this outburst of mine was greeted, as the young lady replied sarcasti- cally, f shall, most honourable Sir, walk on fire all the same, kiroi auum kerebm, if not dis- agreeable to you ?" It is disagreeable to me, and dangerous to you," I replied, but she was laughing so Ikwui. i-feui t-Hl. J»i. iur -eAb !A such l&acliers in the wo&S&tsf.. Th? hwrfimleed at the JBOS* asriont rajjjeste. Fa instance if you teQ them that their father is joet dead, or your own, they wiltJaugh out of polite- ness to the soul of one, wbcm they do not wieh to grievs by appealing sad. Finding at length my sKuiueHts useless, till merry maiden now me she also in- tended to plunge her delicate body into boiling water, and, in the farther endeavour to propiti- ate the God of the Mountain, Tory possibly to walk up a ladder with bum feet, the rongs ol which would be composed of sharp sabres. I ow wrigned my?elf to ray apparent fate, winch was doubtless to lose, shortly, ty some horrible death or mutilation, the little friend whose acquaint- ance I had fast made. At the same time I asked her to tell me about all these approaching hor. rors. DISCUSSES TKB ART OF JTRB-WAUCING, Seeing me serious and curious, she became serious once more herself, and evidently anxious to impnrt information. Row of Wisteria Blossoms now ordered her maid to remove for her the silk stockings, which, made with a separate finger, like a glove, for the big toe, she wore upon her defieate feet. Now, honourable Sm she add, wn. you do me the honour to examine the solas of my feet Are tbey charred, searched or blis- tered In any Way P Play examine fhem. For I must teformyon that I am the daughter of the hocoorabie Kwsoeho, the Hlgb Priest ol the Shinto Temple, in the Kanda Qurter of Tokio, and that, for practice, I walked several times upon a fire—a small one it is tme-this very morning. Next week we shall all of us ^alk upon a large one in public." 1 took the little rosy feet into my hand, I felt them and examined them carefully, and, find- ing not the slightest trace of bum or blister, set down the amiable lady as some harm- less lunatic, with a terrible propensity for in- vention. Evidently noting upon my features the incredulity which I vainly strove to conceal, Fujibayasi now presented we with her tiny little visiting card, upon which her name was en- graved in both Japanese and English characters. She asked me to write down upon it a date and an address, and politely invited me in her father's and mother's names, as well as her own, to be one of their guests inside the temple upon the approaching celebration in honour of the god. Upon our return journey in the evening, she particularly asked me to come early upon the date of tae fire-walking, as her father would, she was sure, shew to me as a friend some of the rites which would not be displayed to the other guests or to the public at large, assembling to witness the wonderful ordeal. AND ENTERTAINS THB AUTHOR, I was now convinced of the young lady's saneness and sincerity, and upon the ap- pointed day, therefore, I was careful to be one of the first of the invited guests to arrive, when I was received with the greatest kindness at the temple bj Fujibayasi herself, by her father, the High Priest, Yoshimura Ma&unosbi, and by his wife, a little lady, who still showed traces of having been as great a beauty formerly as her daughter was to-day. The Kwaacho and the ladies nearly killed mt with kindness for several hours, during which all sorts of wonderful ceremonies were gone through in the temple, I being regaled, nolem ttlmt, repeatedly during that period with beer, oranges and tea—tea, oranges and beer, of which delicacies I was forced to partake far more freely than was good for me, lest I should hurt the feelings of my kind hosts. I occupied a aide room in the temple, Whence I could see all that was going on without having to stand, as had the other visitors. The screens having been slipped back, I could, at the same time, see the fire being heated up outside. The High Priest himself, wonderfully attired, would every now and then go off for a time, and lead a long row of devotees to make offerings at an altar. There he remained with eyes closed and mystic and rapturous pose, indulging in wonderful prostrations and intoning monotonous prayers to the accompaniment of weird music. Then returning to me, without a trace of the mystic about him, he would sit down by my side, laugh and chat, and resume his mundane duties at the table as host. The difference in his appear- ance in the two characters was as great as that between Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde! WHILST THB FIRE IS PREPARED. Meanwhile the fire of red hot charcoal—a fire seven yards long by two and a half yards wide- was being prepared just outside the temple. As the tremendous heat of this fire almost roasted me where I was sitting, I now begged pretty little Fujibayasi and her mother, whatever they might do upon occasions when I was not pres- ent, to spare me the pain of seeing them walk with naked feat upon the fiery furnace. They ponceiy repries tmas May would ask tb. (idvice of the Kwansho, just then employed in praying with wonderful gestures. One of -them went and called him, when laughing amiably at my fears he instantly agreed to my request, saying that, although there was no danger, and the fire oould not hurt them in the least, to spare my susceptibilities, the ladies should not walk upon the red hot coats, nor would he do so himself. The operation had, he added laughingly, lost all novelty for them, but to show me how innocu- ous it was, he would ask a half English, half Japanese young lady, a friend of mine, who had lust arrived through my having obtained an invitation for her, if she would like to walk through the fire. Upon his doing so the yeung lady, who was clad in European dress, although warmly pressed, declined vigorously to join in thus celebrating the God of the Mountain On- take. But she was careful to explain it was not fear which impelled her to decline the hon- our, but simply the faot that it would be too indelicate for her to walk with bare legs before so many people it would look too peculiar al- together in European clothing. Had I been dressed in Japanese costume now," she suggested, it would not ha-,e looked half so improper, and I would not have minded at all—oh no, not in the least I" I had ma doots of this, moreover, as I was not asked to walk through the fire myself, I was naturally too polite to take the Ub&rty of asking permis- sion to join the glad throng in the flames. Whilethe other spectators were waiting androast- ing, I was admitted alone into a bath-room where mnny of those about to fire-walk were stripped naked, and going through the most wonderful antics, while pouring bucket after bucket of icy cold water on their heads. This in itself is a terrible ordeal to a Japanese, for in Japan all water used for washing or bathing purposes is hitenesly hot, the natives of all ranks frequently sitting for long periods in tubs through which is passed a stove pipe full of hot goals. Fujibayasi, however, informed me that owing to the power of the god, she was quite able in the dead of winter to immerse her little frame up to her chin, in a tub of iced water and to remain thus for hours, without feeling eold at all at the time or catching cold after- wamll; I may add that I quite believe this BOW T THE CEREMONIES rmpowm. The mystic worshippers in the bathroom, I soon observed, seemed quite as capable of na" from grave to gay, from lively to If severe," as the High Priest himself tor, upon my making some humorous remark in the> raid ♦ me of their apparently holiest rites they all burst into roan of laughter, their faces the seoond previous having all worn the drawn and pained expression of the strictest aacetio. Thev act a gaeer race indeed! At length the fire Was ready, the prayers and purifications com- pleted, and the worshippers, clad in a white garment proceeded to the courtyard where the huge fire was being fanned vigorously un- til it was apparently at a white heat. After ceremonies, of throwing salt on the ground on the four sides of the oblong fiery fumace, and much waving of wands, called gohei wands, while marching round and round the mass of burning charcoal, suddenly a man, who had been striking showerg of sparks from a flint and steel, rubbed his feet in some of the scattered salt. Then he boldly stepped into the flames De- liberately then did he walk through the fire from end to end, taking seven paces in the pro- cess. Not the slightest sign of suffering did he evince an. walking all round the fire amid the apptause of the crowd, ue osutuij quite through it again. Others now-men and women, old and young—followed him one after another, marching calmly in a long procession through the awful furnace on their bare feet. Some were most deliberate, stamping down each step into the red hot cinders When some others hurried, the crowd laughed at them so mockingly that they had to go through again more deliberately. Many young women marched through carrying their babies on their back. Many little children also, one being a little boy only seven years old. This little lad cried before going into the flames, but upon being kindly encouraged, as he stood tremb- ling by the brink of the molten mass, by the High Priest, who told him not to fear, the little mite plunged boldly in. He traversed the great fire from end to end as bravely as any of his elders, although it required many of his little steps to do so. This waa an almost incredible sight. When I had witnessed the bzavery of this infant, when I had examined and found un- scorched the feet of numberless men and women and children, who had gone through the fire, when moreover, each one of whom I asked the question, if he or she suffered owch, replied, 45 Itai aximsen-it does not hurt at all," I concluded" that I had witnessed the most alarming, the queerest, the most extraordinary sight of my lifetime

PHOTOGRAPHIC NOTES. (By "Veronica"). AN EPITOME OF PICTORIAL WORK. Every year a large number of representative pictures, both of those which are submitted to the exhibitions, and of others which are not, are collected and reproduced in the pages of "Photograms of the year." This volume for 1908, like its thirteen predecessors, has a scope much wider than that of any, of the National or International Exhibitions, and in addition to some of the best representative work from the principal shows, it has several pieces from well- known workers who have withdrawn from the annual competitions, but who still produce prints that are as interesting as ever, and who allow the editor of this volume to reproduce some of them. From foreign countries and the Colonies many interested things are collected, and the editor writes a frank illuminative critique oi his rea- sons for selecting certain pictures, and also of the faults which are to be found in many of them, alongside virtues sufficient to cause their acceptance. Anyone who wishes to learn what is good and bad from the pictorial point of view, especially if he is a worker anxious to do pio- torial photography himself, should careifully oom- pare the pictures with the critique in thw vol- ume. GASLIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY. Now that the long evenings are upon us, many a camera that would be otherwise laid aside may well be employed in making gaslight portraits, and as a rough guide to exposure, etc, I may, quote from an article by Nurse F. C. Davis in one of the issues of "The Photogrvjhio Monthly" for last winter. With two ordinary bats-wing burners, the sitter 8 feet from the light, a plate of 300 H. and D. sensitiveness, and a lens ap- perture of F8, 2! minutes gave aD.ple ex- posure. For another portrait, a large head, the source of light was a Welshbacb incandescent C. mantle, with large shade of opal glass, and was used nearer to the sitter, with a white re- flector for softening the shadows. With the same plate, speed and shutter aperture, 1t min- utes Was given. < w < FLOWERS AND STILL LIFE BY GASLIGHT Many interesting arrangements of flowers, dried grasses, pottery, obJecttt-ofri, etc., may well be photographed by ordinary gaslight or by the light of one or two paraffin lamps. IB these oases, the camera will be used at a longer ex- tension than for portraits ("became it is desirable to get the objects large on the plate) and a smaller stop will generally have to 3e «v»d. As a rough approximation of the exposure, one may suggest that with the subjects within three feet or four feet of an incandescent gas burner, and with a stop of F16, an exposure of from 5 to 10 minutes should be given to special rapid pistes. w INTERIORS BY GASLIGHT. It is quite possible to make good soft nega- tives of the interiors of ordinary rooms by means of their ordinary lighting with gas or oil lamps, and very often this evening lighting is more har- monious, and gives a more ooay-looking result than is obtained in the same room by daylight. For such subjects it is generally possible to use an aperture as large as FI1, and if the actual source of light be excluded from the picture it will be possible to give long enough exposure to give detail well into the shadows without over- exposing the higher lights. With a rapid or extra-rapid plate, and with the whole of the usual lighting of the room, exposures of from. 10 to 60 minutes may be given, the difference depending largely upon the colour of the paper and furnishings, and the diffusion of the hght. • s s • LONG EXPOSURES FOR PORTRAITS. One of the difficulties in photographing sitters by gaefiot that they are apt to took -run I rigid and staring if they have to sit still u. an exposure of feom 2 to & minutes. Ifise Anmn & Carter, dam a good deal of this work, gets over the difficulty by arranging for the sitter's head to rest comfortably aga,na some object, and by breaking the exposure into three or more parts. At each interval the sitter is allowed to close the eyes, moisten the lips, and generally relax all the muscles of the face, and the rest for the head ensures the position being the same when the exposure is resumed. < « NEXT YEAR'S PHOTOGRAPHIC CON- VENTION. The following programme has been arranged by the Council for the Twenty-Fourth Annual Convention, to be held at Canterbury in July next, under the presidency of Mr R. Snowden Ward, F.R.P.S., retiring president, Sir Cecil Hertslet.

Tuesday, July 6th: A driving tour through the villages of Bridge, Patrixbourne, Bekesbourne, Littlebourne, Wingham, Ickham, Wickham, Fordwick and Sturry; evening, papers, etc. Wednesday, July 7th: Morning, visit to the Cathedral; afternoon, garden party; and even- ing, the annual dinner and concert. Thursday, July 8th: Excursion to Rochester; even- ing papers, etc. Friday, Iulv 9th: Excursion to Rye and Winchester; evening, papers, etc. Saturday, July 10th: Ex- cursion to Maidstone. The headquarters of the convention during the week will be St. George's Hall. Further particulars may be obtained from Mr F. A. Bridge, hon. secretary, East Lodge, Dalston-lane, London, N.E. • • WINTER IN THE DARK ROOM. Beginners in photography are very apt to think that they have made mistakes by under-exposure, or that their plates are much less sensitive than those they have been accustomed to using. Sim- ply because the lowered temperature of the dark-room and of the water supply with which they make up their solutions, causes development and all other chemical operations to become much slower. It is at this time of the year that the thermometer becomes most valuable. Every. dark room should have one, and it should be constantly in use. Generally speaking, the best results will be obtained by keeping all photo- graphic solutions at about 65 degrees F. The one with which there is likely to be the most trouble is hypo, and in the winter, at any rate, photographers are advised to keep a stock of this solution and not to make it freshly each time it is wanted. The dissolving of the crystals reduces the temperature of the water very great- ly, and the use of a chilled dense fixing bath after a relatively warm developer or toning is very liable to cause blisters. Mr J. H. Orab- tree pointed out some time ago that the dark- room lamp is a convenient source of heat for small quantities of solution, and advised that a. skeleton stage of wood or wire should be built above the lamp so that a bottle or dish contain- ing solution could easily be stood to receive the heat.

A NURSE'S VIOLENT HEADACHE. STRIKING TESTIMONY FOR CHAS. FORDE'S BILE BEANS. BILIOUSNESS, INDIGESTION, AND DEBILITY CURED. Mra Clara Stuart, a well-known nurse, of 130, Grosvenor Buildings, Manesty-street, Poplar, London, E., suffered all the miseries of a chronic victim of biliousness and disordered liver for years. To-day a course of CHAS. FORDE'S Bile Beans have alone completely restored her health. Nurse Stuart said to a London reporter:—"I must have been ailing for five or six years. I began first with violent headaches, accompanied by wind on the stomach. Then I lost my ap- petite, and turned so bilious that the very sight of food made me sick. Chronic indigestion fol- lowed, with extreme lassitude; in fact, I was so weak and ill that it was a trouble for me to even dress myself. "I felt that I wanted to be lying about the whole day long. I was naturally very low- spirited, for the doctor I was under seemed un- able to make any improvement in my condition. At last my husband, who is a seaman, persuaded me to try CHAS. FORDE'S Bile Beans, which had greatly benefited a mate of his. I immediately got a box of CHAS. FORDE'S Bile Beans, and before I was half through it I felt relief. My headache disappeared; I felt less languid, and my appetite returned. So much better did r feel when the first box had been used that I eagerly continued the treatment. After the third box of CHAS. FORDE'S Bile Beans I was en- tirely relieved of the bilious feelings and the in- digestion. My liver was put right and I felt quite strong again. I found pleasure in doing work that had before been impossible, and my waiole life seemed changed. I am perfectly cured —it is four years since I had a bilious attack. We are never without a box of CHAS. FORDE'S Bile Beans in the house. I always recommend Chas. Forde's to my friends." Nurse Stuart was cured by the genuin "CHAS. FORDE'S" Bile Beans. Beware of worthless "cheap" substitutes. The "genuine" that cure are sold only in scaled wooden boxes; Is lid and 2s 9d, of all chemists. The genuine box has "CHAS. FORDE'S" on the label.
