HE BEATS GRANT.
The Greatest Smoker on Record, and How
He Gets Ready for business"
BROOKLYN Eagle.

He Gets 'Iieady for Business"
Brooklyn Eagle.
A wellkEown merchant of New York city is
said to be the greatest smoker in the United
States. He is a tail, stout, good-looking man,
weighing about go pounds. According to his
own statement he smokes a dozen prime cigars
every morning before breakfast. How many h
demollshes during the rest OF the day is not
recorded.
Last summer it was this g~entleman's custom
to 90 TO business every morning from Queens
county, travelling down the East river on the
James slip boat. As soon as he got on board he
placed a square basket, which he invariably
carried, on the floor. Then he lifted the lid and
produced therefrom an immense cigar case, a
piece of wax candle and a box of matches. Hay-
ing placed these handy, he unfaStened his cuffs,
drew them off and laid them in the basket.
Then he removed his necktie and collar and de
posted them by the side OF his cuffs. Then he
UnfaStened his capaeious vest and allowed the
breeze TO fan his prodigious breast.
He was now ready for business. He lighted
a match and lgnited a piece of wax candle,
which he laid In a secure spot. Next he drew
from his cigar ease three, four or five cigars, as
the fancy took him.. Procuring a rubber band
from his vest pocket, he cunningly twisted it
around the cigars so as TO unite them all abreast.
Then he put the small ends in his mouth and
applied the wax candle to the other end, passing
1t slowly from one to the other Of the cigars
until all were we'll lighted. Leaning back he
enjoyed life, sending clouds of smoke into the
air.
He has made a great variety of answers to
persons who have questioned him as to his pas
sion for smoking. To one he said, "NIy doctor
tells me to smoke" To another, 81 smoke be-
cause | like it," To another, Il smoke because
my wife says / mustn't" To another, Its none
of your business'-with a word before the "busi-
ness" seldom tolerated in print. Those who

of age.

French and English.

Max O'Rells New Book.
The Frenchwoman is more graceful and
piquant than the Englishwoman, but she is less
healthy and less fresh. She has livelier eyes, a
prettier mouth, a better figure; but her skin is
less fair and clear. Walking, b~athing-this is
the secret of the beauty and healthfulness of
Englishwomen. They fear neither shower
baths nor drafts. They sleep with open win
dows, and in the morning they deluge them
selves with cold water. In winter the more tim
ID take a sponge bath, and rub themselves from
head to foot to stimulate circulation, till the
skin cries for mercy. The appetite thus sharp
eTed, they go down to breakfast fresh and Wig
Orous, make a hearty meal of eggs and cold
meat, and then start tor a country walk and q
game of laNn-tenniS.

Indian JugglerS.


t'IHHUIT6 8 JVUTUdI'
A juggler now made his salaam, and began
by performing the beautiful mango tree trick.
lie took an earthenware pot, filled it with earth
moistened with a little water, and placed among
the earth a mango seed which he had examined
beforehand. This done, he threw a sheet over
ahe pot, and almost Immediately removed it
again. when we beheld, to our establishment,
that the seed had in the space of, say half a min
ute, become a young mango tree. Again the
sheet was thrown over the pot, and on being a
second time removed, the mango tree had
doubled in size. The same process was repeated
a third time, and now the tree was covered with
small, unripe mangoes. This time the juggler
plucked the tree up out of the earth. displaying
the roots and the remains of the original mango
lstone from which the tree was supposed to have
sprung.

The ladies asked questions and kept run of the
clock and the cooking. The venison spluttered
and roared for the last time as it rolled into a
huge white dish. The duck Kissed in its turn,
and the goose fell TO ruin under the carving
knife. The sauce had been put under and
over the birds, and an orange sauce, started for
use with the veuison just before that dish was
ready for serving, was finished In time. The
plates, piled with tidbits of smoking game, went
from hand to hand, and the spoons that the
ladies had retained dipped into each combina-
ton. 1t was half-past 8 o'clock when what Miss
Parloa termed "a long and fussy lesson" was
over, and the ladies sped in couples up and
down the gaslit street.

A Great Chance for Literary Men.

81. James's Gazette,
The highest prize by a very long way ever
offered for a literary performance will be
awarded in 1925 to the successful author of a
simple biography. Fifty years ago, according to
a weekly contemporary, Gen. Arantseheief, the
frierl and confidential adviser of the Emperor
Alexander I, deposited in the Imperial Bank of
Russia the sum of so. 900 roubles, which is to be
allowed to accumulate at interest till
the LIST of December, 1925, when the
entire amount, principal and interest, is
to be handed over to the author of the best work
on the life and reign of Alexander l. The st.
Petersburg Academy of Sciences will decide on
the merits of the different performances sent in
and award the prize, which will by that time
bles-about $500, 600. A fifth of the amount
will be deducted for the cost of printing the
work. The remainder will go to the fortunate
author; and so for once in a way there will be a
literary man millionaire.

"A Duke of Brunswick never dies at home. y
This German saying, which has almost become
a proverb, has again received confederation by
the death of the last Duke, who thus follows in
the footsteps of five of his predecessors; to-wit
his grandfather, who died at Ottensen, from
wounds received at Auerstadt; his father, who
fell at Ligny; his brother, who died at Geneva,
where he lies entombed in the well known piece
montee; his ancestor, Julius Leopold, who was
drowned in an inundatiOn of the Oder; and
William, who died in a hamlet remote from his
estates, though nearer to them than the death
spot of any of the others.
