Mrs. Vanderbilt's Double.

l came across q Vanderbilt privilege
OF wealth in the establishment of a New
York tailor for women, writes q IT.
respondent of the Galveston News. A
girl, stood in the CENTER. of tho work
roam while a. male expert fitted a gar
ment to her upper figure
sssssThis is; Mrs. William K,Vanderbilt.' !,
said one. ,..Nonsense,n i. CALCULATED.
willie Nanderbiit's wife hasn't red
hair, nor. "a face, at all like that"
what l NEAR" was the explanation,
sis that the girl is posing as Mrs. Van
derbilt. The two are exactly the same
size and shapes This enc is hired to
serve nsthe place of Tho. millionairess
in the laborous matter of having. cos
tunes fitted. The garment now be-
ing taken.in ill.,, let out, and generally
adapted is for Mrs. Vanderbilt, who is
at her easesin Newport while tho double
endures the hour or two OF tiresome
standing. ,,.u,.~.
Mechanical forms are common for
that purpose, and most of our rich S
toners keep them with U.s. but they are
not SO good as a living model, which
can. change her position, walk about,
sit down, and in other ways demon
strate perfectly the effect of the raiment
Gnder process of making. Mrs. Van
derbht will not endure 1.-The fatigue. of
the thing herself, even when siu town,
and it was her own suggestion. that a
duplicate Of herself be employed.
"On her'order we sought and found
a perfect counterpart--a girl who was
working in q cloak-shop connected with
our buslness-and she has served, in
aieu of Mrs. Nanderbuilt for nearly
year.. Not only in dimensions is sho
suited to the requirements, butin move
ments and carriage shells wonderfully
like her employer; and sc it is possible
tor the latter to see herself as others;
see her-in the matter ofydress."

How Whaling Ships Winter fin the
Arctic.

In the fall, just before it gets SO cold
that the ice forms, the ships huddle to-
gether, and each puts down two an
chors, one at the bow and one at the
storm, and these hold them from strik.
ing against the shore or one another
until the ice forms around them and
freezes them in solidly. Then the an.
chors and tudders are taken up. and,
With lumber'which they have brought
from home, the whalers build q sub.
stantial house over the ship. Then
they get the Ekimo to build q sort of
snow house over the wooden house
and, SO, with all this covering to pro=
tect them, they manage to keep warm
and comfortable with very little fire.
however cold it may be out-of-doors.
Sometimes they put in double windows,
the inside ones of glass, Us usual, and
the outside ones being made of slabs
of ice. like the curious windows of the
tngloos: The white men do not live id
these temporary houses built on tops
of the ships, but in the cabin and fore
castle, just as if they were cruising out
to sea. Tho house is simply put over
inc snip TO keep the real places warm,
and right Weh it does its work. This
'.house;" however, is very useful as a
place for taking Y4erpGise. for ship-car-
pentering work, and for any small jobs
that may be necessary The Eskimo
also congregate there, especially about
meal-time; when generous whalers
treat them with sea-bread and weak
tea sweetened with molasses.=F1om

Native ToDatto.

''Is there any improvement in the
quality of native tobaccoP" asked the
reporter.
1.-THE quality Of the leaf grown in
Pennsylvania, New York Massachu-
sets and New Jersey said the dealer,
"has materially improved. and; togeth-
er with that now grown in Wisconsin
and other Western States, forms the
principal cigar tobacco used la this
country. The Connecticut leaf appears,
texture and flavor: This is due, in my
opinion. to enforced production by tho
use of guano, and tie cultivation of
the same fields year after year in the
same staple. The duality Of the crop
grown in Cuba is yearly deteriorating,
from the same cause as that in Cohnec-
ticut. It is true that there is but one
Havana tobacco; and, that its exduisit
flavor can not be initiated OF produced
on any other soil than that of Cuba,
but the flavor has lost much of its fine
quality. Tho tupidity of the tobacco
growers in ondeavoring to stimulate
growth and produce quantity at the
expense of quality, has brought its own
punishment:
1.-The large crop Of tobacco grown
every year in Maryland" the dealer
said. ANSWERING an inquiry of the re-
porter, ''is sent to Europe. ]. My ..ppin.
ion, based on Statistics is that.the larger
portion ,of Maryland tobacco. is
shipped to the Geginan states, where it
is smoked in thsspipe. It: will not
make cigars, and'fs of such a Door
quality there is no: demand for it in the
United States. Sumatra tobacco is
used largely in cigars. 1t makes not
only a very pretty. wrapper, but it is
not detrimental to a good filler. Fine
Sumatra is the best known leaf for a
Wrapper after fine Cuba. Washiny.

The Horrors of Morphine.

"Give me only a few drops; for Gods
sake, give me just q little"

nal, came from q shrunkcn-faced NAH

to sell him q small quantity of NOR

This time another policeman hove in

demands, ordered the morphine '..1iend''

policeman cufed the mans ears. 1t
