The mau who is now grinding away at a labourer's wage might have been earning a Cabinet Minister's income if he had pxercised his will power earlier in LIFE. That's the great secret of some men's success—when they see a "good thing" they decide to use it to the best of their ability, as far as it affects them. Now, if you own a Camera, or are interested in this most fasciuating hobby, your success as a photographer depends largely upon familiarity with the numerous incidentals such as Developers, Mounts, Re-touching apparatus, etc. There is one good way of familarizing yourself with these necessary articles and that is by looking over the Catalogue of Cameras and Photographic Accessories which is sent post free to any add rest, by The Imperial Camera Co. We wouldn't ask yon to send for this Catalogue if it was no good to you. It is useful to every owner of a Camera, professional or amateur. You can make the photos you take at Easter, life-pictures if you know the best means of finishing them—this Catalogue will help you. It only costs a halfpenny, the price of a postcard ou which you write the short message, asking for it. Step into the Post Office when you are passing, buy the card, write the message, and post it to The Imperial Camera Co., Willisstreet, Wellington.* It is not improbable, says an Auckland gentleman who was a passenger by the train which so narrowly escaped destruction by collision with the runaway train on the Main Trunk last week that Mr Claude's highly meritorious promptitude will bo recognised by tho granting to him of a fren pass on the railways for the rest of his life. A Westport News correspondent writes:—Two men, named R. O'Brien and E. Redmond, had a most miraculous escape from certain death whilst working on the Westport-Reefton rail- I way on Thursday last. They had just finished boring a hole, and had charged it with two packets and ahalf of gelignite. The usual tamping stick not being at hand, O'Brien com- > ruenced to tamp the charge with a piece ot iron piping lying near, with ' the result thai the whole of the charge '■ exploded, fortunately doing little or : no injury to the two men. but soaring seven years' growth out of both. This { is another instance of the reckless way ) in winch some men work with high 1 > explosives. ~"-■' . fek>- '-~~- «.-•■-,
