SOME BIG FIGURES.
How Mich a Man Can Drink and Smoke
I'm Eight Years.
Maroon (Gd.) Telegraph,

"That Is finely colored pipe" We re-
marked to well-known gentleman of Ma
con yesterday, as he sat on the curbstone at
one Of our hotels, putting wreaths Of Smoke
from a well-browned meerchavm."
eyes," he replied, 'and 1t has cost me
about $500 10 give it that color"
SHOW So"
"Well, kept faithful account for eight
years Of all my expenditures, aud as ! have
not always been what you might cali All up
right, moral man, the account is fearful
one
flows that?"
81 stopped drinking two years ago, but
have continued to smoke. And up to the
time let up on whisky found that | had
smoked up 400 pounds Of tobacco In this
pipe. smoked one pound week, and at
times, when troubled with neuralgia, |
smoked four ounces day, which was
pound and quarter week"
"What did that tobacco cost you?"
"Ten years ago Durham was shipping his
tobacco In barrels instead Of bags as at pres
ent, and paid 81 per pound, then Is cents,
and then 60 cents, but averaging the price at
Is cents, the 400 pounds cost me $500 for the
eight years, or $3.50 per year."
We know the metbodIcal habits of this
bachelor, and hence was not surprised at his
statement. In addition to the itemizing Of
his expenses, he has kept full journal Of
his doings, and could tell how many head
aches, how many days sickness, how many
times drunk, and thus II was an easy task TO
lot down at the end of the day how much
whisky he had drank, or how many ounces
of tobacco he had smoked. No old maid is
more precise or systematic than he.
SLOW much whisky did you drink in eight
years? ?"
day. Twas paying SIP per week at certain
hotel in Florida, and the barkeeper has
boosted ON several occasio us that for many
and many week paid him S4 day for
whisky, ginger, brandy, ETC., which makes,
with the board, just $40 per week! Now
sixteen barrels at 500 per barrel is just ST.
600, but that does not cover the cost TO me,
rs paid % cents a drink for lots of it.
calculate that my whisky for the eight years
cost me fully $1,000, If not MORE"
The nervous system of this gentleman
does not seem impaired by this excessive ust
Of tobacco and liquor. He holds that bu
few men could stand 1t, and when his hands
commence to trernble he will then cease Il
smoke.
This Is a remarkable case, and we nee'
not point out the moral. 1t is apparent Il
all.

part of the city, and, crossing Military Plaza,
sending column of dust hundreds of feet
skyward, finally struck the brick building
near the round-house, occupied as an engine

the wind gained entrance, and III seconds

consisting of huge plates Of corrugated sheet

A PERPETUAL CouRTSHIP.
How Mexican Married Couples Interchange
Courtesies.

Ldmpazos Letter in The Cohesion Ne'cS'
The Mexlcans of the wealtbyor well-to-do
classes have custom in married life when
seems TO me q pretty one. Husband and
wife have entirely separate apartments, ana
neither Is expected to enter the apartments
of the other except OH invitation. When the
husband desires the company Of his lady In
his apartment he writes note Of invitation
In terms of the most formal and lofty polite
ness. incloses IL In a perfumed envelope, seals
IL and sends II to her on silver tray IN the
hands of a servant. The lady acknowledges
the invitation in the same way, and II she
accepts, which she is probably most likely 10
do. she appears at the door Of his apartments
at the appointed hour in bridal costume, es-
corted by one or more Of her ladies In walt
ing. These then retire. The husband re-
ceiyes her at the door, leads her to little
table where he treats her to chocolate or tea,
fruit, cakes, etc. In the midst OF his apart
men,s he has room furnished in the most
exquisite way lie is capable OF, which he
holds sacred TO his lady, and never occupies
unless she is present. This room Is his
pride. He spares no expense to make 1t as
unique and charming as possible. When
the gentleman has received his lady In his
apartments, It Is not proper to leave her I'M
iii they have breakfasted, which does not
usually occur until o'clock.
After the lapse of some days. do not
know how many--etiquette requires that the
lady shall return the husbands compliment
by n similar invitation, nicely sealed in
perfumed envelope, on silver tray. lie
acknowledges the invitation with many
thanks. and If he accepts, which 1t is pre-
sumed he is quite sure to do, he first indulg'
es in the bath, prigs himself up In his best
array, patronizes his perfume bottles and
pomades, and at the appointed hour appears
promptly at the door Of his ladys apart
ments. She is there to receive him, dressed
like queen, and wearing orange blossoms
In her hair and on her bosom. She conducts
him to O little table, where he is offered
wine and cake, or chocolate and cake, anc
fruit. After this pleasant repast she regaie'
him with song and music on the guitar. one
also has In the midst of her apartments
room which she holds sacred TO her husband
and which she never occupies unless he Il
present. It may be supposed that thi
sacred room lie her pride above all things
and TO adorn and watch over it the chief oc
cupation and Joy of her life. They remain
together in the lady's apartments until
breakfast, after which they again separate
Thus there Is a continual interchange o
courteses and perpetual courtship.

ireland One Hundred Years Ago,

II Is curious now TO read in the Irish rec
ords of March, 1888: "Two hundred fami'
lies from County Meath, weary OF dragging
on an existence in cold, hunger, and wretch
edness, are determined to emigrale, fully
convinced that If they do not better them
selves they can not be worse. The Lord
Lieutenant, justly sensible of this alarming
event, has, we hear, represented this matter
to his majesty's minister, and recommended
an immediate session of the Irish Parlia
ment, that something may be devised tt
check, In Its infancy, this impending calam
ity."
