SCIOPTICON MANUAL. 121 COMPOSITION PICTURES. The miscellaneous views in Class X are mostly com- position pictures, suggesting their own descriptions. Take, for example, this picture of the milkmaid. The cow, so gently submitting to the maiden's manip- ulations, evidently feels quite at home. Appearances indicate that she is capable of giving a pailful of milk. She has taken the position convenient for the milkmaid, who, for the time, has suspended operations for a social chat with the young farmer who is resting upon the barn- yard gate. We may not hear what they say, but little sister, doubtless, is verifying the old adage, that "little pitchers have large ears." The two reclining animals may have borne the yoke seen at the left, during working hours, and are now wooing " Tired nature's sweet restorer, balmy sleep." The animal at the right is too young for active service, and has not yet experienced the ills of a laborious life, of which the harrow near by is a suggestive emblem. 9
