Tiny Pipes for Cc.aca.


The question, do nice women smokei
brings up very pretty implement with
which they may smoke if they so choose.
The latest novelty exhibited in Broad
way jewelry store is tiny pipe that
only woman could carry to her lips.
Its stem Is trifle shorter and smaller in
diameter than the average meerschaum
and is made Of gold set with garnets,
moonstones and emeralds. The mouth
piece is Of yellow and pink veined onyx,
and the bowl, which might hold half a
thimbleful, is heavily set with small
gems. The toy is worth something like
500. and at a gilt edged fine affair when
cigars are brought in with the coffee, if
lady chooses to remain at the close Of
dinner, it may make prettier combins-
ton than beauty and the cigarette.
The jeweler says that the first pipe of
this sort was made to order for a woman
Of some social position. and that he has
had four or five calls for them since. The
talk of ladies smoking is much exagge-
rated, however. There are numbers of
Cubans and Spaniards and some French
women of beauty and position who buy
cigarettes in person, smoke them at din
ners and offer them to lady friends in
their boudoirs. But they are only I'M

a DRY Shower Dath.

There is on exhibition on West Sixth
street self charging static machine, +"
which produces q sensation similar to
that experienced in taking shower bath.
In fact, when a fellow sits on the machine
and the little wheel is turned. he imagines
that he is really taking shower bath.
That is, If no one happens to be around.
The other day q number Of gentlemen
experimentsliy inclined took turns about
sitting on the little stool which is attached
to the electric battery. Every one in his
turn found that the sensation was de-
Hghtful enough until they were touched
by the finger tips Of The bystanders. Then

THE True Eule of SfudY.

The rule to study closely and continu.
ousiy is mistake. The ''hard student"
of whom we hear is blunder. Igo so
far as to say the true rule of study is to
apply the mind only when work is easy,
and when you are prepared beforehand
to make it easy. Those who labor twelve,
or even ten hours O day, could accom-
plish more if they labored, with discre-
ton, four hours or five hours or six
hours a days, divided into two sections
Of three hours each. In reality there is
nothing man viii find SO very easy as
brain work if he is in condition. Under
stand, it is precisely like any other con-
tesla race or rowing match or as in
horse race-"condition" is the first
thing to be looked after. Healthy and
judicious brain work is both easy and
delightful, and ii should never be per-
formed when it is not SON.. Maurice,

Methods of tho Shrcwd Manager.

date book is already half filed, and you
are getting big percentages. How did
you do it,"
The agent was frank if not modest.
"Did it on my reputation, A." he said. with

THE JOLLY RED Nose.
Not Always Caused By ConviviIl Habits.
A Varied List.

|
A Varied List.
A very common error is the belief tina.
q red nose or chin pimples or blossoms"
about thst part of the face, are the result
| Of hard drinking, and are always indica-
tive of that vice. With many persons
this is the case The acceleration of the
movement of the heart, the rapid heating
| of the body and the slow weakening Of
| the blood. three of the chief results Of
| the use Of alcohol upon the system, too
often find expression in the unsightIy
symptoms mentioned, as well as others
more serious.
! But these symptoms often arise from
| other and very different causes. In some
! instances exposure to the sunlight will
| produce results hardly distinguishable
| from those Of alcoholic indulgence, end
more especially with those with impure
blood, or whose habits have not been
marked by the regularity demanded by
health. Tight lacing or even the mere
wearing Of stays, no matter how loosely
these may fit, or how soft and flexible the
material from which they are made, fire.
Quently exercise the same effect in every
regard. Many a temperate woman and
abStinent maid has acquired the reputa-
ton of being hard drinker from the ap-
pearance of her face, when, as o matter
of fact, her only fault has been the desire
to look attractive, and its foolish express
sion in the compression of her waist and
abdomen
Gluttony is another common cause Of
red nose and cutaneous disorders Of the
face. And in this regard gluttony does
not mean the eating Of large quantities Of
food, but merely of more than the system
requires. Two and half pounds Of nu-
triment per diem may be gluttony for a
young man or young woman who
takes little or no exercise, and passes tho
day reading light literature, or idly con-
versing, where five pounds would be alb
stemiousness to a young collegian playing
ball and rowing twelve hours out of the
twenty four. Many diseases, and more
particularly the affections of the erysipelas
class, tend to express themselves in and
upon the nose and face, not only in all Of
their forms and stages, but even after
they have been noninally cured, leave or
imprint q tendency upon the system to tho
same unsightly and disgusting symptoms
However serious or deep seated the
causes, it Is always possible and easy to
cure and prevent the effects. Whether
the original source of the trouble lies in
constitutional disease, depraved condi-
ton of the system, hard drinking, over
eating, sunburn or tight lacing, it can
not produce the blemishes described until
after the blood has been surcharged with
humors and the vital organs have become
weakened in tone and activity. These
are in every instance the immediate cause
of the trouble. If that be stopped before
they reach their full development, no
skin disease will break out. If they be
properly treated after that point the dis
ease soon disappears and the sufferer
speedily regains his beauty and health
