Il is stated as fact that the smok
ing of cigarettes has most injurious
effect upon the growth of the nous
tache. as the poison generated while
smoking them acts upon the mucous
lining of the upper lip, thus stuntinG
the growth. Young men who are
anxious to become "mashers" must
give up their cigarettes, or else g

Timid travellers may take comfort.
A person who is an authority in such
matters calculates that railroad pas
senger can travel sixty miles an hour,
ten hours day, for five hundred
years without reaching his turn to be
killed. This amount Of travel would
carry him round the globe thirty-six
hundred times. French statistics
show that railroad travel is sixty
times safer than by coach and dill
genee, and that a person is less liable
10 accident in railroad car than he il
in his own home But the reader
will please bear in mind that these are
French statistics.

MATHEMATICAL CoRN.-There are
some curious things about corn, and
one is, where do the red ears and the
speckled ears come from when you do
not plant anything but white corn;
and another is why don't we find an
ear with an odd number of rows on
itl You can find four leaf clover,
but have never found the odd row
on an ear of corn yet. 1t is always
fourteen or sixteen, or twenty, oil

4 Key 10 Editorial Espress,sns.

An attentive reader Of newspapers
can see great deal more than is set
down on the printed page. For in
stance, an expression common in these
days Of nominations is. "While a
portion Of the ticket is not such as we
should have nominated, we shall give
it our hearty support" This means
that the editors most bitter enemy,
who will give the printing to the 9th
er paper if he eau, is on the ticket,
and the editor hopes that the low down
reptile may be beaten out Of sight. In
the case Of distinguished orators, the
remark, 1.-THE Hon. Mr.. Blank was
attacked with a sudden indisposition
and did not speak" means that the
venerated statesman was too drunk
to hold his head up. The observa-
ton means the same thing when ap.
. piled TO the lights Of the American
stage. 1--WE failed TO catch the last
words Of the speech" means that elo.
quence at the critical period was
drowned in "budge." 1--WE regret
that we have not space to publish the
gentleman's eloquent effort in full
means that in the EDITORS opinion,
the speech would have made a reflect
i've mule leave his oats, and that it
would be an outrage on the public 10
print it. eve may refer TO the adj
dress hereafter means that the news
paper man feels happy at getting out
of il this time, and trusts that perdi-
ton may seize him If he ever men
tons the matter again. In obituary
notices congestion Of the brain,
when applied to a gentleman of easy
views in regard to drinks, means deli
rum tremens, and "He was his own
worst enemy" means that the deceas-
ed was drunkard, and the worst en-
envy Of the people who loaned him
money. "He had his faults, who OF
us has mott" is an equivalent expires
sion. In regard to performances,
dramatic, and otherwise, "Those
who failed 10 be present missed rich
treat" means that everybody "failed. "
"The audience was small, but appre
ciative" means that nobody was pres
ent but holders of complimentaries.
"Owing to the inclemency Of the
weather the audience was not what il
would have been" means that nobody
would have been there had the sky
been as clear as crystal, and the
"neighborhood been famed by the
spicy breezes," according to the hymn
book, "blow soft DER Ceylon's isle.
In the way of dramatic criticism
"Mr. Montgomery shows some crudity

From Dallas, Tex, comes sad

THE SUNFLowER.-The sunflower
is turned TO extraordinary accounts in
Lithuaia. The seeds yield at first
pressure excellent salad oil, and the
residue forms excellent oil cake for
cattle, which also relish the leaves and
stalks chopped up. The flowers a
little short Of bloom are, when cooked,
nearly as good as artichokes and are
in the garden very attractive to bees.
The leaf well dried is used as tobacco.
The seed receptacles are made into
blotiing paper and the inner part Of
the stalk into a fine writing paper
The more woody portions of the plant
which attain great size, are used fol
fuel. The best seed is obtained in the
Crimea. AS an anti.malaria agent
the sunhower is most valuable.

Speaking Of contributors to the
newspapers, writer says; There is
the minister, who sends in mere
skeleton Of a sermon, page Of which
looks like the top of a tea box cover
ed with Chinese hieroglyphics, all dis.
connected, with Scripture proper
names written in dots and dashes, and
the whole affair complete enigma.
However, he knows il will be all right,
and that the printers and proofreader
will unravel II, no matter il they are
fit subjects for the madhouse before
they get through with it. Then there
is the local reporter. Well. be is a
good fellow and means we'll; he has
troubles Of his own; but if he spells a
mans name four different ways in an
item three inches long, he knows the
proofreader will drop everything,
lush around, find a directory or some
thing else and fix it all right before it
goes into the paper. Also comes the
statistical fend, with his figures all
presenting the same appearance, but
not having time to cast up his columns
for totals, knowing the proof reader
is bound to fix them up. There are
also country correspondents, theyoung
poet, the scientist, and the linguistical
Smart Aleck, who can't write five
lines without scattering in bits Of
French, Latin and Spanish, to show
that he has been there; it matters not
whether he gets his foreign words
right or not, the proofreader must
scratch around and get everything
right somehow, or the next day he
will hear from the powers in the sane
tum. In fact, to be success, the
proof reader should be an animate cy-
clopedia, with the patience Of Job
and the endurance Of adamant-but
he is not, hence his troubles.

STAGE Lovers.


The affection between stage lovers
is often so well acted that no one sus-
poets the real feeling which exists be-
tween them. A writer in the New
Orleans Democrat says that he knew Of
two actors of the opposite sex who
positively disliked each other, but
were forced by their parts into the
most devotional tenderness of conduct.
One night as he was playing at love
she was TO rush into his arms; being \
true artist, she did her work with en-
ergy, and between speeches he NUT
tered "You need not swallow me I"
She replied; "You are too bitter
dose. While holding her in fond
embrace, wrapped in delicious trans
pert, he grOwled in whispers Don't
lsan 80 hard against man." With
her head in tender repose upon his
breast, she retorted: "You are paid
for holding me. and l intend that you
shall earn your salary They never
made up and never married. She
married another actor, and clings still
to the dislike for the man with whom
she plays. 1900. MAJ
