Why Grant Was a Great Smoker

Gen. Grant. like all men of his
temperament, found tobacco compensa-
ton for nervous strain. He obtained
the very best cigars, as his fame adj
vanced in the war, and he smoked in
place of talking. Many of the gener-
ais had nothing III their mouths, and,
therefore, threw away their fame.
Grant merely lighted another cigar and
pulled. The war itself was provocative
Of the smoking habit, as it multiplied
excitement and left hundreds of thou
sands of men in tents waiting for bat
tie, and there they smoked because
they had no other form of enjoyment.
Gen. Grant was so much of a smoker
that he was seldom described or repre-
scented after he reached the presidency,
but with cigar in his mouth. Even
smokers wondered where he drew his
powerful constitution which could re-
sist so much tobacco. At last he seems
to have been affected in the palate, the
organ of taste where the pleasure per-
haps starts and goes TO the brain from
smoking. The best cure for both
liquor and tobacco is the open dir, and
not the open air Of cities so much as
that of the county. Grant has kept
this open air treatment up nearly all
his life. Either on horseback or in a
carriage he has ridden constantly, and
down to very late period, and his trip
around the world in steamers, vessels
and vehicles gave him inspiration Of the
same sort Gath.

New Caledonia.

The temperature of this island varies
from IS to 63 degrees Fahrenheit in the
cold season, namely, from April until
September, and from 66 to 90 degrees

bv the sea breeze, but more particularly
by the trade winds blowing great par /
of the year, rendering the nights and
mornings beautifully cool. In the in

known until last year, when the

only took. place in Noumea, where,
during the summer alone, typhoid and

Of this island is that within its territory
there are no venomous insects or rep
tiles, nor any dangerous wild animals.
The rainfalls are most uncertain, yet ii
has been observed that September, Oc-

and that it rains principally in De3em-

Daniel webster's Fees.
From the Worchester Spy.

From the Worchester Spy
In view Of the protracted trial ir our
superior court recently, it Is of interest
to note the fees which Daniel Webster
received for his services. For many
years he kept regular account of his
professional receipts, and for two of
those years the accounts have been pub
lished. In the first of the two, when
he was about 81 years of age, his re-
ceipts, emitting several small affairs,
amounted to Sl5, lSl. The number OF
items. mostly against different clients,
was 1919. The largest charge was 81
600. There were "A retainers in the
year, amounting in the aggregate to
81, $40. The largest was retainer in
patent causes" Of $3.50; but most of the
retainers were of 800 and $50. The
second published account covered the
years 1928, when Webster was 80
years old The amount of receipts for
tins year was SS,2l2, but out of this is
to be deducted 1895 as congressional
pay" This leaves for his professional
receipts 81, 900. The largest fee this
year was $500. There we're only A
items, and OF these Is were retainers,
amounting to 1880. One of them
was 800 for "Dr Motifs patent causes.
"A very poor years work." says Web
ster. Modification kept me out of the
supreme court all the last winter.

A correspondent writes to us from

morning an old man in his ninety.sev

biography may be interesting to many
of our readers. At the age of y he was
working on farm at Yexham, Market
Dereham, Norfolk, when lie received the
sum of So guiueas for enlisting in the
West Norfolk militia, Twoyears after
ward he enlisted in the Twenty-third
ROYAL Welsh Fusilers for seven years,
and was shipped for the Peninsula,
where he landed at Passay. A few days
after landing the regiment was paraded
to supply 100 volunteers for the foriorn
hope at the storming of st. Sebastian,
Aug. 81, 1913. Hubbard was one OF
the 100, and he had the good fortune to
escape unhurt. After being sent to
England as one of the guard in charge
of prisoners he returned to the PENN
suia, where lie found his regiment IN
the Pyrenees. He took part in the bat
ties there, and was also engaged at Or
thes, Toulouse, and Waterloo. As he
was only a seven year man and was
never wounded he had no pension until
the royal warrant of March II, 1874, en

Hannibal Hamlin.

From the Philadelphia Press.
The Hon. Hannibal Hamlin, Of
Maine, is firmly convinced that he Will
live to the age of 100. He is now a
hale old man of so, tough as gutta per
cha, and bright and active as a school
boy. He is about six feet in height,
with strongly marked countenanco
and eyes of an intense velyety black,
The secret of such a mans longevity IS
worth studying. Mr.. Hamlin never
wears an overcoat, and it is only with
in the past few years that he has worn
flannels. His face is of such rich
brown color as to support the story
once circulated by his enemies to the
affect that he has negro blood in his
veins. The old stlger went through
the campaign last year. He sits up
late at night He is fond OF parties.
He can keep pace with a three-bo
man at dinner Beginning in the morn
inc before breakfast he smokes all day
and half the night, using the strongest
and blacklist cigars that can be pro-
cured. Such habits ought to have
killed him long ago. But he hourishes
apparently with undiminished vigor.
Iiis vigor is of steel covered with sole
leather.

An Uncanny Story efAnnabel Lee.

About three years ago the of people
of Fordham determined they would re.
move the village graveyard. Few of
them knew of Edgar Allen Poe or his
beautiful Annabel. They began to re-
move the bones and lay them away pro-
miscuously in a sort Of charnel ground
some distance out in the country. A
gentleman in New York who knew much
of Poe's life, who loved his poetry and
was aware that his wife was buried at
Fordham, heard Of the removal OF the
graveyard and went out to protect the
bones of sweet Annabel. The grave
had already been opened and he came
near being too late He collected the
precious relics, wrapped them neatly III
paper, and brought them TO his
home in New York. where he
kept them for nearly two years.
One day a gentleman called who had
known Mrs. Poe and who was very fond
of the poem Annabel. The converse
ton drifted toward these beautiful lines,
and verse after verse was repeated over
and over. Finally the gentleman of
the house rose and said: II will show
You something" He then proceeded
TO unwrap the bones of the poor heroine.
"These," said he, ARE the bones Of
'Annabel. >" He then proceeded to
tell the story. The bones we're soon
afteTward sent TO be inferred at Balti-
more. The above is but part Of as
weird and uncanny story as any Poe
ever brought out of his peculiarly I'M
canny imagination. This sequel has but
recently come TO our knowledge and
every item in it can be proven much
more satisfactorily than many incidents
of Poe's daily life and habits. Names
and places are withheld in this article,
but can be furnished on demand. Port

What Ruins the Trout Streams.
General r, T. Sherman in the American Ang

General H. L. Sherman in the American Ang
Ter.
The amendments to the game laws
just passed by the Legislature are to
apply to the trout sections only. They
were drawn by John -. Collins, of
Utica, and are valuable. They are de-
signed TO cut off the murdorous prac.
tice of catching for number that has so
depleted our trout streams The bill
forbids the retention of any trout below
sill inches, and also the taking of trout
from public waters to stock private
ponds-a practice that has kept the
West Canada from WllKinson's down
stripped for many years. Public houses
near trout streams are in the habit of
getting mp trout suppcrs" for guests,
Two or three boys are started out in
the morning. Thoy rotura in the
afternoon with 200 or 800 year or two
wears old, which are fried TO crisp,
and each guest eats twenty or thirty,
and thus the stock of the stream is
destroyed in its infancy. i was told at
place in Essex County last fall that n
certain great and pious person, whose
namc is withheld, came there every
summer, and wanted the first thing a
trout fry. Trout on the ice eight or
nine inches long would MT do. He
must go out himself and catch 100 Or
more three TO five inch fellows aid have
them fried. These he gorged, heads,
bones and all, This is the kind of fish
ing that defeats the purpose of artifi
cial culture. 1t isthe large trout that
should be taken not the small ones.
When a trout reaches tho weight of
two pounds or over he will destroy more
of his kind in a Gar than he can pro
dnce.
