SMOKING BY PROXY.



Two Men Enjoy the Same Cigar, one
smoking and the Other Inhaling.
Strangers in Scanton. Pa, have often
been led to wonder at the sight daily
to DO seen OH the streets of tall.
strieht old man. with flowing white
beard that reaches almost to his waist.
and snow-white hair. promenading in
company with Young colored man.
who is constantly smoking, and who
blows every puff of his cigar smoke
straight into the face Of the old man.
who bends forward to receive IL and
inhales ii eagerly from his nose and
mouth. The old gentleman, SAYS The
Port Jefr,s Gazette. is Uncle Ira Trpn
the millionaire coal operator. and ono
of the oldest natives of the Lackawan:
ma valley. being now over 80. The
colored man, John. is his valet from
boyhood until twenty years ago Ira
Trip was an inveterate smoker. He
smoked the strongest and most expen-
sive cigars he could buy. His health
became greatly impaired when he was
CO. and his doctor told him that he
must either quit smoking or die.
Since then has not had cigar be-
tween his lips. but has INDUCED his
love for tobacco smoke by inhalng it
from cigars smoked by others. For a
time he took his proxy smokers. ask
ing them TO puff their smoke ia his
face. but the miscellaneous quality Of
the tobacco thus inhaled was not salts
factory. He then adopted the plan OF
carrying his own cigars and prcser ."' Z
them to smokers OH condition tina. they
would give him the benefit OF the
smoke. Finally he hit on the plan OF
hiring man to accompany him wher-
ever he went. the mans only duty
! being Ia smoke choice cigar and
blow the smoke in his employers face.
! His present smoker. the colored man.
John, has been with Uncle Ira for sew.
eral years, and the artistic way IN
which he man pulated his cigar smoke
TO the best advantage Of his employer
has made him ind spensable to the old
| gentleman. Uncle Ira, as he is known
J from one end of the Lackawanna val
! ley 10 the other, never goes out with
out John, and the latter is on duty as
a smoker constantly during the eccen-
trio millionaire walking hours. John
has smoked an average Of tfteeh
strong cigars every day for number
of years, it requiring that number TO
satisfy Uncle lra's longing for the
fragrant smoke; but the advocates OF
the doctrine that tobacco is an nsidu-
Gus and deadly foe to health would
find no part of their theory in the case
OF Ira Trips John. He has grown
fat on his pleasant and persistent DALI
ance with the noxious nicotine.

A Good Thing for Bows.

Manual training is one Of the few

body 1t is good for the rich boy. to

beautiful work. 1t is good for the poor

tools, If tools prove to be the thing he
must handle for living.

draw him away from books. But. most

boy; it shows him that there is some
thing he can do we'll. The boy utterly

or plane a rough piece OF board as well
as the brightest scholar. nay. very like

and you have given him an impulse Of
self-respect that is of untold benefit to
him when he goes back TO his studies
He will be brigher and better boy
for finding out something that he can

board in the presence of other boys,
who can no longer look down upon
him when they see how well he can

"Mashing" Unknown in Texas.

Equal parts of egotism and lack of re-

to produce the masher pure and sim

plains may have fairly good opinion
of themselves. but they have a still
better opinion of the other sex. and

They Will Build in the Bottoms.

The Mississippi r YER Is on it's an.
nual rampage, and thousands of acres
of bottom land are now covered by its
murky water. If this inundation OF
land were the only result of these
grand fresheis they could not be re.
garded as unmiXed evils. for the sedi-
ment left upon the soil by the reced-
ing water enriches it and greatly in
creases is productive capacity. The
Egyptian tillers of the bottom lands
of the Nile depend upon the annual
overflow for the very bread of life, with.
out the Nile sediment their lands
would be unproductve and widespread
famine would follow.
But whenever the Mississippi, the
Missouri, the Ohio, or other larger
rivers of the United States rise from
between their banks-it matters not
how often they may have previously
acted in the same unrely way-there
is report of great property loss
through the moving or wrecking OF
buildings and carrying away Of buoy.
ant material; and families are report
cd to be homeless refugees on the
highlands while others are imprisoned
in homes surrounded by water OF
threatening depth and rapidity. The
lessons of the annual flow seem to be
without result. and when the waters
rise they evict people who have been
driven from their homes time and timo
again.
When trust is reposed in the strength
of levees that suddenly break there is
some excuse for the habitation Of low
land subject TO overflow; but where
there are no leyees. the man who
builds house or establ shes pl ace
of business below high-water mark is
walking into danger with ais eyes
open. Land once in inundated should
always be considered dangerous
ground, as the work of the ruthless
timber cutters on the small tributaries
of these mighty streams is making
the latter more erratic and there
fore lesss worthy of trust
The harsh lesson Of one overflow
ought te be sufficient to warn men "a
build where they will not be in dan
ger of getting wet. Milwaukee Va

Tic Care of Tin1yara.

Many women spend good deal of time in
trying to keep tinware bright by securing it
with some kind OF powder each week This
Is poor plan, as the less securing tinware
receives tie better. It removes the outside
coating, and though it be kept looking bright
by hard labor, it viii never look as well as if
it were washed in clean, hot suds To be
sure, when the tin is stained the stain will
have to be removed by securing, but only
enough should be done to remove tie stain.
Kerosene and powdered lime, the lime very
finely pulverized, is claimed to clean tinwaro
nicely, and wood ashes is also recommended
for the same purpose.
a better powder may be made Of the soft
white cinders that are usually thrown away.
After sitting the ashes from the stove, pick
from the cinders all the soft white ones
They must be soft enough TO crush into a
powder between the thumb and finger, and
after crushing up fine they are ready to be
used. First wash and wipe the tin clean,
then with flannel rub it over with the pow
der. 1t is so fine that it does not scratch or
wear off the coating, and gives the tin q
beautiful polish Never use lye on tinware,
or it will ruin it. Keep aI old toothbrush
for getting into the seams around the handle
and rim. Never put vinegar, tomatoes or
any acid substance in tin. When tins are
new, first ELL with boiling water and let
stand for little while before using. To
mend holes in tinware use putty, placing it
on the outside.-Boston Budget

Earn1na IYer Own Livinc.

There Is still to be found with some
thoughtless people weak and childish pref
udice which causes them to consider that O
woman Of any social rank has stepped down
In the scale OF her being il she opens or enters
g shop and stands behind the counter, meas
uring, cutting, doing up parcels, taking
money and making change. To the mind Of
these peopls-if they can be said to have q
mind, or at any rate to use one in this rela-
tion-the act is as much beneath her as if it
were menial, and if she be of any once nota-
bic family 1t requires all the respectability
OF the past to save her from the loss of pres
tige and to suffer her to receive share even
OF the consideration due member Of her
family; as If, ike the Brahnin, she had lost
caste and experienced deflement by touching
what was outside her station.
Certainly We can imagine few things moro
praiseworthy in a woman than q determine
ton to earn her own living, to live her own
LIS, to meet her own expenses, if she is not
person OF independent means, but has to be
supported by others, whether or not the
Others work for their own living as we'll
And to our own mind it is far more IN
worthy for a woman to sit down and be sup
ported by another than it is for her to SUD
port herself in any honest manner whatever.
Meanwhile, as every one cannot go into
