Smoking Universal in Venezuela.

Everybody smokes cigarettes in Ven
ezuela, writes W. A. PAtou to the New
York Times. John appeared at our
door in the morning, or at any time of
the day we happened to call him, with
cloud Of smoke lowering around him as
if he had just materialized, like tho
cenii of the arabian Nights" after
being uucorked and let out of the bot
ties in which they were sealed by
Solomon the wise magician and thrown
into the ocean. The walters in the
hotel smoked while setting the tables;
the proprietor sat at his desk in his own
personal we,l-favored cloud; the major
domo and janitor, the little boy who
ran the brands, the cocheros on their
hacks, the drivers and conductors of tho
horse cars. the padres sitting in the
pu lie squares, tho policemen on duty,
the soldiers mounting guard before the
barracks, the clerks in the shops whilc
waiting for customers, the expectant
bootblack, the guests at the hotel
smoked in their rooms in all the saloons
save one, which was reserved for foreign
ladies who might object to tho fumes
OF tobacco. In every other
place about the hotel all the men
smoked, in doors and out, in season and
out, before and after meals-young,
middle aged and old---all the white and
colored men, and nearly all the colored
girls and women. Ibid indeed catch a
glimpse of one bright eyed Sonora sit
ting in the privacy of her porto court
yard) where she doubtless thought her
self shut in from the too curious gaze
of passers-by, INDUCING in the ANTI
est whiffs, holding her tiny cigarette
between the tips of her little fingers,
raising it from time to time to her lips in
q per lectly artless manner, but calcu-
lated, withal, to display her shining
rings. a pretty bracelet, very SYM
metrical wrist, and perfect arm as
high as to her dimpled elbow. No
other evidence have l to offer that the
ladies' of Caracas enjoy burning the H.
ccnse of "oivine tobacco" but little

When practicable

after sun bleaching. When practicable
and the weather permits this latter pro-
cess is used at all the works, and on
fine day rows of hats may be seen on the
roof undergoing whitening 10y the oper-
atoms of the suns rays. After bling
dipped in French glue they are placed
in drying room, where the tempera-
ture is about IL degrees and where tho
moisture is extracted by means of large
rapidly revolving fans, driven at high
speed. This leaves the hat in very
pliable condition.
The blocking process is next in order.
Looking at numbered tag which has
been previously sewed Inside, the work
man places the hat on the proper steam
heated sectional expanding metal block
and presses it into the required size and
shape. This blocking machine was in
vented at the straw works. The hat is
then placed on solid metal dies core
spending in size to the blocks above
mentioned, and subjected to a power
full hydraulic pressure, which gives it
its proper form. If for men and boys,
the swaziland is then sewed in, and
meanwhile the lace tip for the inte-
rior of the crown is prepared by an
Ingenious machine which has an attach
ment for cutting it the exact shape and
size, as well as for sewing. Putting on
the band, the only process requiring
handlwork in the making OF these
goods, is the last operation. and the hat
Is finished ready for boxing and ship
ment.

Tenderness Of Mr.. COrliSs,

Mr.. Corliss, the famous engine builder
OF Providence, not very long before his
death, had occasion to build an addition
10 his nanufactory-a big al, for addi-
tiOnal machinery. To prepare the found
alton for this L. it was necessary to re.
move ledge of rock by blasting. The
men to do the work on the addition had
been employed and put on the payroll;
the materials had been purchased and
brought to the building, and the work
of blasting had begun. The next morn
ing Mr.. Corliss passed by the place
where work was proceeding, when the
foreman in charge, knowing his interest
in pretty things, called him.
"See here, Mr.. Corliss," said he,
"here's birds nest that we've found,
and that's got to CO."
He showed the manufacturer O robin
sitting upon nest that had been built,
fast and snug, in q crevice of the rock,
among some bushes that grew there.
The bird flew off her nest as the men
came near, and showed five blue eggs
that looked as if they had Just been laid.
"Can we move that nest somewhere
else2" asked Mr.. Corliss.
"Tm afraid not, sir. We'd tear it to
pieces getting ii out, and it isn't ut all
likely that You could get the bird to go
to sitting again anywhere else. We've
got to go on, so We may as well rip it out
and throw the eggs away"
"NO," said CorlisS, 1--WE won't disturb
her. Let her bring out her brood right
there
"But we'll have to stop the work on
the building"
LET it stop, then"
And so orders were given that opera
tons on the addition should be sus-
pended. They were suspended; and
the hands stood still, drawing their pay
for doing nothing, or next to nothing,
while the robin sat on her nest with her
mir OF great consequence and jealous at
tention to business, and had her food
brought by her mate, and at last Matched
her brood. And then there were three
weeks more to SO by. at the least, before
the young ones could lily. Corliss Wis
tied the nest frequently, not with any
uneasiness or impotence to have the
robin and the young ones out OF the way,
but with a genuine interest III their
growth. The old birds had all the time
they wanted: and when at last they had
sternly helped the clumsy, reluctant
youngsters over the edge of the nest,
and they showed themselves able to get
about on their own hook, orders were
given to resume the building operations
and the dull boom of the gunpowdel
tearing the rocks apart was heard where
the birds had peepcd.- BoStO" IraH-

small fortune. Notwithstanding the shrswd
mAnipulations OF biz opponent, the student
never lost q game. Other men came along and
tried their hand against the young player, but
they all met the same fate as the first player,
aud soon left the table completely broken in
purse and spirit AS the hours rolled by the
interest IN the young stranger became intense.
Games we're stopped at all tables excepting his,
and all eyes were fixed upon the man who had
vanquished some CT the best players OF the
house. The stakes now ran into the thousands,
and still the student won. Ten-thoussnd bets
were quickly followed by twenties, twenties
doubled themselves into ~forties, and still the
student won. His luck never deserted him, and

The following morning the student was unable

To MAKE matters worse, the patient persisted in
telling the doctor about his adventure. The
physician then declared that this young man
was insane, and so informed his parents, who
were naturally frantic with grief. Later in the
day an intimate friend OF the family called and
was ushered into the patients presence in order
10 test the insanity theory which the physician
had advanced in the morning. the student
told his friend the whole story of his nights
experience. He graphically described how
he went into the rambling-house with
but a few dollars in his pocket and came
ont with a moderate fortune. Now" he
said, as be reached the end OF his
narrative. "the doctor says | am insane;

am talking about, l will tell you where TO find

the night before. After his friend had brought
the pile OF greenbacks to the sick mans bed
side the family were let into the secret, and a
more thoroughly astonished household perhaps
never gathered under one roof. AS soon as the
excitement had in a measure subsidized the
young man said that tho possession or the
money for one night had been the cause of his
fever. He declared that the dollars were not
his, and as he did not know to whom they
righttully belonged, he gave them TO q chari-
table institution. AS incredible as this story
may appear, every word OF it is true. and it
happened in Philadelphia during the reign of
