How to Smoke a Cigar.

IODaCCO.
1. Never buy cheap cigars. There is
no economy in it. If you can't afford
good cigars. smoke less and enjoy your
smoke. 1t is folly to think little cigars
are the best.
2. You cannot tell whether cigar is
good or bad unless you light it properly
that is, thoroughly. AgOod cigar will
not be much better than a poor one if
badly lighted.
8. If your cigar goes out be sure to
blow through it as soon as possible, SO
that when you light it there will be no
dead smoke in it.
4. Leave the ashes on your cigar as
long as possible. Your cigar will burn
Straghter and taste Sweeter if you do.
5. If you think smoking injurious to
your health, stop smoking in the morn
ing. A great many people have stom-
achS out of order, and no man ailing in
that way can smoke before or imme-
diately after breakfast. The best time
to smoke is after dinner and after sup
per. Smoking would not hurt baby
if this rule was adopted.
6. Never give anybody light from
your cigar. Carry matches.
z. In buying cigars select those that
are fresh, or in condition that when
rolled gently between the thumb and
finger no cracking sound is heard; or,
if you buy dry one, place it in fresh
ening box, one in which the whole box
of cigars can be placed preferred, so as
not to be i'll contact with metal.

the tenacity of age and usage, and can,
with moderate effort, be dislOdged.
While they are being cast adrift it
may be as we'll to try and throw after
them some part of the varieties of the
profession. great deal OF the jealousy,
some of the silly traditions, all of the
self-cOnceit, the larger part of the de-
rision for those who formerly lived,
worked and died in her service; as much
of the insincerity in dramatic labor as
can be spared, every particle of vain
glorious publicity, and every shred of
impudence. Let them all float far away
and become waterlogged and sink, and
let the noble vessel sail confidently on
to the end of time, freighted with noble
aspirations and honest endeavOrs, and
with the same well-adjusted ballast of
good -heartedneSs and charity toward all
which she has ever carried deep within
her eapaciOus bosom.

The kindergarten school term extends

sisters take the little pupils outdoors, and,
while instructing them in nature and its
beauties, manage to entertain them as

girls, attending st. Agatha's kindergar-
ten at present. 1t is needless to say
they are the children of some Of st.

The second floor is taken up altogether

Each young lady receives two lessons

are of the very highest order. They
make most excellent teachers, for the
reason that they are possessed in such a
marked degree of that one quality so
ecessary-patience. The sisters also
give lessons in painting. The sleeping

These"Inan:tics" arc merely parasites

foppish stage walk and their gentle
struggles for front places. Then note
what follows. The rosy lips of those
lovely beings move, but no audible
sound follows they nudge each other

SINCE LINCOLN'S TIME.

How the Supreme Court Judges
Have Changed in a Quarter of a
Century.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
AS to the supreme court bench itself.
is has undergone a change since Lin
coins time. Then the judge had to
live on $500 year, and they humbly
dwelt in tenements around on Capitol
hill. Some of them boarded, some of
them rented floor and INDUCED in
light housekeeping, and they no more
aspired to lead the fashions than did
the family chaplain of the eighteenth
century, whose fate it was to marry the
favOrite chambermaid. Now, presto,
each judge gets $4,000 a year-more
than twice as much as before, and lead
ing even the members of the cabinet.
They set the fashions. They mostly live
in palaces in the Northwest. They
drive their own carriages and cuff their
own fOOtmen. Some of them are socially
very ambitious. l fancy it might not
be pleasant to serve them. They are
powerful. They are honest. They are
able. They are learned in some direc-
tons, and four or five of them have cul-
ture and refinement as well as position.
But from being always Overworked and
from long Sitting IN one position III q

arch the indomitable beings have per-
sistently marched. They are there now,
and seem as hard to diSlodge as many
other lncongruOuS matters in higher
and nobler places. What their exact
effect upon the dramapS, he must be
mole blind who cannot see, and what
their ultimate influence may be is
equally patent to those who love the
stage for its power and dignity.
Whe can describe these pert stage
inanities?" They are lovely as hours
and chameleOn-hued as to their attire
that is, what mOdicum Of attire they af-
feet. Upon them the wealth of material
and illumination is laviShed. They
revel in golden tissues and satins, and
Shiny drape themselves in yelvetS of
richest luster. Their shapely limbs are
glossy with the sheen of brilliant silks
which take the richest shades of choicest
colors. Their cOuntenances are re-
Splendent with cosmetics compounded
of rareSt drugs, and their Juno-like
orbs flash like clrclets of pigments
which an alchemiSt might vainly try to
analyze.
Thus they stand, bathed in the cleo
trio or the lime lights glare, perfect
phalanX seeming to defy defeat and
challenging admiration. Unfortunately,
beautiful as they are, they do nothing
more for art than lend the useless luSter
of their presence to the scene. They
neither act, dance nor sing in the service
of their mistress, bat they give her the
doubtful benefit of their beauteOus
forms.
This. as rule, is all these unhappy
creatures can do. and yet they are re-
celved and presented with a perfect
knowledge of the fact. One good trait
they possess. delightful to the specula-
tive manager, and that is their utter in
difference to the honOrarium dispensed at
the theatrical treasury. Their mellifluous
names, and they always select melliflu-
Gus ones, are inscribed on the register
of that important department. but for
the most part opposite to such trifling
amounts that they are not unfrequently
deemed unworthy of collection and are
swept back into the managerial till
along with other waste change.
Since, then, these charming but ap-
parently useless creatures are found in
possession of a certain position upon the
stage of a few theaters. the Influence

indiScriminate charity, and to give it a
practical direction to the very important
question of elevatlng the tone of many
of the public amuSementS of the day.
There is something noble and worthy
of admiration in the labor of the smallest
and least important member of a society
which contributes TO the mere amuse-
ment of the masses, provided that labor
is honestly and earnestly accomplished.
1t may in itself be trivial almost foolish,
but if it is labor, and it has a worthy end
in view, then it should be hOnOred and
recorded.
The truth is that in the drama, the
''InanitieS" have assumed that of
Form" alone. In the plays into which
they were dragged the power of Form"
is asserted with impudent daring, and no
play in which they are SD lis deemed
complete that has not tina. cement from
beginning to end. Form in all col
ors. of every variety, reigns over all,
even over the jargon of coarse witt
acrObatism. To Form whole scenes
are dedicated, grand chants are sung,
SenSuOus music is composed, and the
great public is invited to do homage. 1t
weaveS itself, does this same Form"
like a beauteOuS snake, into thousand
sinuosities, yclept dances, and strives to
steal away the senses of the spectators
by its voluptuous display. These are
rendered delusive by the deft art of
painters, who surround Form" by the
enchantment of their art and depict for
them the bowers of bliss or the realms
of tranquil delights with skill beyond
all praise, where Form can be hung
by wires, suspended in iron cradles,
recline on gliding banks, pose
in ascending shells, appear in tri-
umphal cars and be displayed in every
attitude, and always with a sensuous

TheS purely decorative creatures may
be said To have been brought into the
profession by the speculative manager
of not remote period. \ few family
sketched editions were occasionally met
with in the early DAYS of burlesque, but
they were differently bound, and if not
eStly intruded themselves upon
the public notice. Now and
again a stray couple OF quartet
crept Stealthily across the green cloth of
tragedy. in the guise of pages, but they
were such humble perSOnageS, and were
SO covered up by the sweeping robes of
their surroundings, that they were
scarcely noticeable; flash of pinkiSh
tights, glamor of Spangled velvet, and
they were swallowed up by soldiers,
courtierS, kings and queens. When
TraveStie changed its character from
merely verbal humOr to pictorial beauty
of costume and scene. the power of
'.Form," as applied to art, was first
noted. In those days, however, it was
invested with certain delicacy, very
