And shake his sanity head.

That is paid two dollars per day
BY his humble fellow workmen,
Turning from them away,
And weighing for the operator,
At the very same machine,
For a dollar and fifty cents day,
Does he think the men are green?
I hate 70 look upon a man
Taking himself vile,
And bringing her TO his mothers mouse,
To make her sad for life,
Saying, MY darling, you must DO
All mat my mother may say,
Because you took solemn VOW

Queen VictOria's Eccentricities.

Chicago Tribune.
The court etiquette has grown more
rigid and inAex;ble during these months
of increasing morbidness, and soon it
is feared the Queen will be as far re-
moved from her people as Chinese
Emperor. She carries out her wilful
insistence upon etiquette in every least
detail, and even when it concerns only
her own children and grandchildren.
When the Princess Louise returned
from Canada and arrived at Windsor
she was kept waiting until she had
changed her attire and until the Queen
sent word she was prepared to receive
her. IL is reported that the Princess
entered the drawing-room in the even
ing to await dinner, dressed in most
lovely crimson velvet gown. with Grim
son silk hose TO match. The Queen
happening to espy the Princess's feet,
said: "Do YOU not know that coored
stockings are not permitted in my
presencep Go to your room at once
and change your stockings" And SO

in crimson velvet dress wearing white

Character i'm Smoking
From the Chicago News

From the Chicago News
It's twenty years, said a cigar dealer,
now since | began to sell tobacco, and
in that time | have closely studied the
characters of my patrons, forming my
conclusions from. the kind of company
they keep. mean by the kind of CT
ga:s they smoke. can always tell. An
even-tempered, quiet fellow never goes
to an extreme in choosing cigar; a
nervous man wants something strong
and furious, mild man, something
that smokes and nothing more. The
same conditions run through chewing
tobacco Then there is a great deal in
the way men handle their cigars. Very
few can smoke OH one side as well as on
the other. Men come in here every
day who have been smoking Tor thirty
years, and if they were to place cigar
on the wrong side of the mouth they
would appear as clumsy and green as a
boy who was trying his first weed. The
muscles of the face become set TO one
position. ANY change requires reQr-
ganization OF the face. So it amt by
the way the cigar is embraced in the
mouth that you can estimate man.
IF a man smokes his cigar only
enough to keep it lighted, and relishes
taking it from between his Eps to cast a
whirliDg curl of blue smoke into the air,
set him down as an easy going fellow,
who cares little for how the world goes
and no more for himself. He has keen
perceptions and delicate sensibilities.
He will net create trouble, but is apt to
see it out when it is once begun.
Beware of the man who never re-
leases the cigar from the grip of his
teeth, and is Indifferent as to whether it
burns or dies. He is cool calculating,
and exacting. He is seldom energetic
ply sically, but lives easily off of those
who perform the labor.
A man who smokes bit, rests bit,
and fumbles the cigar more or less, is
apt to be easily affected by circum-
stances. He may be energetic, care
ful,generous, and courageous, but he is
vacillating and lisblc to change on
a moments notice.
If the cigar goes out frequently the
man has whole-soul disposition, is a
devil-may-car sort of a fellow, with a
lively brain, a glib tongue, and
generally fine fund of anecdotes and
yarns.
To hold half of the cigar in the
mouth and smoke indifferently is lazy
mans habit. They are generally OF
little force and their characters are not
of the higher strata.
A nervous man, or one under cXcit-
( ing influences, fu.nb!es his cigar n great
deal. He is kind of popinjay among
men.
Holding the cigar constantly between
the teeth. chewing it occasionally, and
not caring whether or not it has been
lighted at all, are characteristics Of
men with the tenacity of bulldogs.
They never forget anything and never
release hold.
A fop stands his cigar on end, and al
inexperienced smoker either points il
straight ahead or almost at right angles
with his course.

mirth-loving gentleman. He was a
most affectionate husband and father
and no royal etiquette ever stood in the
way of his fine German heartiness.
Since his death his children have had
no parental companionship. and they
are as far removed from the Queen as
though they had not been born of her.
IL is well known that the Prince of
Wales has very great influence with his
mother andis personally deeply attached
to her. He was constant companion
of his father, and he quite remembers
how his father managed the Queen in
the old days. The Prince is said to be
most charming in his relations to his
mother, and is always upon his most
beautiful manners in her presence. He
at times does approach her with great
affection and even tenderness of feeling
and demonstration
