Fond of Both Tobacco and SUGAR.
LFrom the Pail Mall Gazette.


The natives of British Burmah have
developed two tastes which are not usu-
ally found associated. They are invet-
crate smokers men, women, and child
remand they are almost as fond of sugar
as they are of tobacco, sugar being both
a necessity and luxury with them. Of
fetal reports credit them with net con-
sumption per head of seven pounds per
annum, whereas the consumption of the
whole population of India is only reck-
oned at half pound. The tobacco is
subjected to the merest rudimentary
treatment, and the sugar is also used in
very raw condition. Many of the
people," says an official report, "are
tea drinkers in the Chinese fashion, and
they take a mouthful of caked sugar for
each mouthful of tea they drink. They
have great weakness for the cane, which
they delight to suck, and they eat Jag
gerry or caked sugar just as the school
boys eat sugar candy at home" It is
not surprising that the native supply of
tobacco and sugar has to be consider
ably supplemented by imports from
abroad

Beautiful Girls of Canri

The beauty of the Capri girls is pro-
verbal and many Of the artists have fail
en- captive to their charms, their darkly
brilliant eyes, half-oriental type of face,
so enchanting for painter. Perhaps
the most celebrated case was that of the
son OF the Hon. Mrs. Norton, the Eng
llsh poetess and author. During his So
journ there, while painting Capri beau
ty, he fell Move and married her, much
to the disgust of his high-born relatives;
but 1t was a sorrOwful affair for all con-
cerned. The mother never forgave
her son the disappointment he occa-
stoned her, and the future Lady Grantly
was made to give up her beautiful child
rem to their English relatives, that they
might be brought up and educated as
became their fathers station, while he
fingered out some years of quasi happy
existence, dying at last from the effects
of drinking. His wife, Lady Grantly,
the former Capri beauty, now middle
aged woman with no traces Of the fatal
loneliness that caused her such unhappi-
ness IN her domestic relations, still lives
on the Island, and at long intervals her
| children-narried in Engand-eome to
see their mother, but the influence of
another sort of life and society are
stronger than the ties of blood and there
is little sympathy between them.

Brave Women.

A l1fe-saving crew off the coast of Wales
recently had their boat smashed by being
dashed against the bark they went to
rescue. The coxswain. succeeded in gain
ing the shore, and turning saw two men
struggling in the surf. He implored
three soldiers standing by to help the
men. They gave no assistance and he
cried to them: ''Save the men; for
shamel Don't let the men drown before
yonr eyes" But two brave women
rushed forward-the daughters of Mr..
Ace, the ighthouse-keeper. "Come
back! Come back! You'll lose your
lives! shouted Ace. "I'll lose my life
before I'll let these men drown" was
Maggie's answer; and tearing off their
shawl the women knotted them together,
and wading into the furious surf until
the swell of the surges sometimes rose to
their arm-pits, and one holding bravely
to the other to support themselves against
the tearing recoil of the sweeping water,
they threw the end Of their shawl toward
the outstretched arms of the perishing
men, and dragged them both on to the
rocks. The men saved were about three
yards from shore. The soldiers threw
something into the water resembling q
cIothesline, but they did not go near
enough to allow the line to reach the
men. Military bravery is not the only
kind of courage.

the effects of which he never fully re-
covered. When ne was discharged on
account of wounds, he refused to make
application fora pension until about three
years ago. His discharge papers were
forwarded to Washington, together with
a certificate regarding his condition, and
nothing more was heard of the matter

he is entitled to 81 q month from July,

A Society Trick

Partisan custom demands that good
wishes for the new year should be ac-
companied by box of bon-bOns.
The wife of Partisan dramatic author
received on the first of January an un-
usually costly box of sweetmeats as the
gift of player who had part in her
husbands latest comedy. Her little
child was interested in the opening.
"Why, mamma, there's card in it. :"
Mamma read the card; it was not that of
the player, but of a singer at the grand
opera. Before she had recovered from
her establishment he had taken out an
other, that of the director of theater;
and then came the card of a ballet
dancer, and under it that of her hus-
band. He came in just then, was
plainly startled at the sight of the box,
but could give no satisfactory explana-
ton of the occurrence of his card under
that Of the danseuse. His wife stimu-
lated by his evident confusion, investi-
gated the matter and easily found out
the Truth. He had sent the expensive
present to the dancer as an etrenne,
with his card. She had forwarded it
with hers TO the director of a theater
where she wished to be en-
gagged. He had slipped in his card and
sent the box to the opera singer, who
passed it on also with her card to the
player, who did not keep it any more
than the rest. Thus one box In its time
played many parts. The dramatist con-
soled himself for his curtain lecture
with the thought that he had secured a
good scene for his next play; but as all
Paris has heard the story, the motive
will not be good for much.

An Ostrich's Stomach.

A San Francisco letter says: The
twenty-five ostriches brought out here
several months ago to serve In the ex-
pertinent of farming for feathers still re-
main at Woodward's Gardens popular
resort in the suburbs. They are huge
ungainly, dirty birds, penned up in a
small inclosure. The other day their
lunch consisted of the favorite dish of
Col. Sellers-a pan of raw turnips. One
of the birds picked up good-sized tur-
nip, rolled it around in its strong beak,
and then gulped it down. One could
see the turnip gradually move down the
long neck until it disappeared in the
body. The legend of the diet of tenpen-
ny nails was no longer fiction after
this sight. It is said that the difficulty
of getting suitable land is the cause of
the delay in the experiment.

Sorghum for SoIIinq,

lFfoIn the Breeder.s GaZeCte.1
Sorghum has been used and well
liked as a soiling crop-that is, to be cut
and fed when green. The seeds are of
considerable value for food for probably
all kinds of stock. The may be fed
either whole orground. The green stalks
have also been highly commended for en-
silage. 1t is probable, however, that it
Is as a soiling crop that sorghum has
most value for feeding. The early am
Der is good variety for this purpose,
although the orange viii give larger
yield. The seeds are hardy, and may be
planted quite early in the spring -in
fact, some prefer planting in the late
fall to secure an early growth in the
spring. They may be planted in rows,
say three feet apart, with half-dozen
seeds each foot or eighteen inches. The
crop may be cut and fed at any time
after it is fairly grown until it begins to
rlpen. The early cut will, in favorable
season give fair second growth. We
do not think it desirable to attempt dry
ing or storing the stalks, unless in silos.
Cattle and hogs are fond of the stalks
and hogs like the seeds much.

In a Kansas ParIor,
[From the Youths Companion

Would you like to look into my par

ride across the prairies, was indeed a

the door; and we looked into the room.
expecting to see the usual stuffed hair
! cloth, the br6c-0- brdc, the parlor-organ,
the stereopticon, the photograph album,
and the regular parlor ornaments. If
there is one thing more than another in
which American ladies show a lack of
originality, it is in their parlors. All
are after one model; and if ever any
where you chance to find one differing
from the standard, it is from the shape
OF the house, or some other circum-
stance, over which the lady herself had
no control, and which you are sure to
ind her lamenting from full heart.
Judge OF our surprise then, to see, in
an uncarpeted room, three long tables
covered with fresh green leaves, which
somehow seemed all in motion. Even
the window seats and the chairs were
laden with green leaves and sprays: and
as to the floor it was covered with hair
twigs.
TO our look of establishment, the lady
laughed merrily. GLOW do you like my
furniture?" she exclaimed,
But something still more odd-for
parlor-had arrested our attention. It
was great, green worm, somewbatlike a
maple worm, on the table. 1t lay among
green leaves and was feeding on them.

himself by firing at it. A lady, Ill in

the man to stop firing. The Swede
turned around, and without word de-

the Swede down, and then fell to the
sidewalk dead. A bullet had passed
through his heart. A crowd seized the
