The Parisienne and Her Cicare tie.

Smoking, as is well known, is a habit which
is not confined to men in France and other
continental countries. Many Parisiennes now
indulge III cigarettes even III their bOudOirS,
and a recent writer, who is herself q smoker
has drawn up set of rules for the benefit of
fashionable female vOtaries of the weed"
Some of these regulations are rather pecu-
liar. Never, says the guide, philosCphe and
friend Of fashionable fumeuses, never smoke
. in restaurant or out of DOORS even when in
company " It'll Your husbands Never light q
cigarette AFTER a 5 o'clock tea, even if your
most intimate friends only are present.
Smoke after Your meals at home, either in q
room ad hoe or in your boudoir. Do not hold
the cigarette between Your teeth OF at the
sides of your mouths. Such loT tricks are
unworthy even of we'll bred men, and you
must be mindful to carry the cigarette grace
fully to your lips, and to blow gentle wrcaths
of etherealiEed essence around YOU from your
mouths, or if you like, down from your
noses. Be extremely careful! not TO allow any
fishes to fell on your dresses or your carpets,
and be sure that Your cigarette holders and
their cases, your match boxes, your ash trays
and your general appliances for the enjoy
ment Of tobacco, be as delicate and artistic
as all objects used by ladies should be.
BY attention to these rules. concludes their
compiler. a fumeuso may frequently make
herself additionally interesting and piquant.
Blowing clouds of smoke from the nose may
even develop into most fascinating opera
ton, provided the smoker have pretty pro
boscis, and that the profile of it only be seen
by the admuing cavalier or sutton as the
blue gray vapor dcsconds delicately from the
nostrIlS.-The ArgOnaut

Meanest Man I'm the World.

The meanest man in the world is the pro-
prietOr of store in this city. He has Just
posted up a notice to all the saleswomen in
his establishment to the effect that they must
wear buttoned shoes hereafter When asked
his reason for this order he said he lost money
on the girls who wore laced shoes 81 havo
in my store about 100 girls" said he, "and
they all wear laced shoes. These shoes be-
come united about five times every day, and
it takes two minutes to tie them again. At
that rate each girl loses 10 minutes day,
and 100 girls lose 1000 minutes in the same
time. That makes about is hours per day, or
two days work. l pay my girls S1.5O per
day, and the loss consequently means 50 per
day, or about $1,000 per year. That much
money will keep my boy and girl at school
very nicely, or will pay my gas bills, and I
propose to save it "-Philadelphia Record.

ORIGIN of a Ponnlnr Air.

l have received the following:
"What is the origin of the song Johnny,
Get Your Gunr"
The song was written in the winter in a
city. The reason was TINT in the cold weather
there were always certain men who, in board
ing street car, wouldn't come inside, and
they wouldn't stand on the platform. But they
would shove back the door and stand in the
space, thus not only discommoding passen-
gers, but allowing the cold wind to sweep
into the car, creating neuralgia, toothache,
pneumonia, and other diseases of interest to
the undertaken. The company tried in vain
to persuade these gentlemen to quit this.
Finally the president said to one of his con-
dnctors, whose name is Johnny:
johnny, set your gun"
The order is going to be enforced this
winter, and the song will be more popular
than ever.-Chicago Mail.
