Neal bows wa on SMOKING.

Gen. Dow is strongly opposed 10 the
use Of tobacco. and has carried on life
long crusade against il, He always has
claimed that tobacco dulIs the moral
sense. Many years ago. before there
were any railroads, 4 man travelling In
stage coach with Dow one dag lighted
a cigar.
..Iwish you would stop smoking. sir.
said Dow.
rs smoking offensive to yous'' The man
asked.
Eyes, sir"
"Well, I'll stop as soon as I've finished
this cigar.
Without another word Dow suddenly
reached forward, pulled the cigar from
the mans lips and threw it into the road.
The man fired up, but looked at the
well knit figure of his fellow passenger,
regarded the bright light in his eyes
and cooled off.
II recall an incident coming down the
Rigi, while was travelling in Europe"
said the general European railroads did
not provide a separate smoking car then,
and I don't know as they do now. 4
passenger in our car was complacently
smoking his cigar.
sssYou're an Englishman. sir. aren't
your said to him.
".oh, no. said ne briskly; I'm an
American
e'What! you an American and smok-
ing in the presence of ladies.'
He stopped smoking, but with poor
grace, and he looked as if he would like
to eat me.
He was of different type from
man whom I met on a steamer in the
English channel asked him to stop
smoking, and he did so with profuse
apologies. l told him that I believed
that tobacco dulls the moral sense. but
he smiled at the idea

sary of the birth of the house of Victim
as the ruling dynasty of what is now the

considerable share in the liberation .oi
Vienna from Kara Mustapha and his be-

The Times correspondent, selected as il.
Illustrating one of the most meritorious

About five hundred officers, all mount

The pleasures Of coffee are by no means
dissipated in the warm weather, when
hot coffee is not needed as q means of
defying the discomfort Of cold weather.
Cold coffee is 4 delicious beverage when
well made. Coffee ice made of strong
coffee frozen in freezer, and served in
cups with whipped cream, is dainty
dessert or a convenient part of the after
noon tea menu; coffee soda is a peculiar
summer drink, and few people accus-
toned to the morning cup OF coffee
make any difference on account of the
weather in this most important feature
OF the breakfast table. An expert in
coffee maintains that the best coffee is
made in the cid fashioned Tin coffee pot.
Don't give me any new patent arrange
ment for making coffee" he says; 'sthe
old tin pot is the only kind Of cooking
utensil that preserves the aroma and the
full favor OF the coffee"
After the coffee has been boiled and
settled pour It in good strength upon a
cup half filed with cream and hot milk.
Most true coffee epicures have bever-
age prepared with full strength that will
give delicious aroma and a true but
delicate flavor to a cup of rich cream
and boiled milk. Rather peculiarly the
average American drinks about the same
amount of coffee now that he did eigh-
teen years ago. In 1870 the average
consumption for each person was seven
and one-half pounds, in 1888 it was seven
and two-thirds pounds, showing that the
taste for coffee neither increases nor de-
creases.-Boston Journal.

A Dissenting opinion.

There IS an immense deal of supersti-
ton about the intelligence of horses. !
stopped today at the curbstone to chat
with an expressman. | said TO him,
How much does your horse know =
THAT horse, sir" he replied, knows just
exactly rs much as man." This is the
way everybody talks who owns horse,
or tends horses, and it seems to me to be
perfect nonsense l have seen horses
walk around post until they had wound
the bride all up, and then stand for
hours with their heads up against the
hitching post, simply because the didn't
have sense enough to walk the other
way and unwind themselves. / have
seen them, when hitched to ring in the
pavement, get their feet over the bride,
and then go into fits because they didn't
have sense enough to lift their feet back
over tie bride again.
| have seen them dance around in a
burning barn with their names and tails
ON fire, simply because they didn't have
sense enough TO run out. Anybody can
steal a horse without any objection from
the horse. \ horse will stand still and
starve or freeze 10 death, with nothing
between him and a comfortable stall and
plenty of oats except an old door that he
could kick down with one foot and that
could be opened by removing pin with
his teeth. If this shows high degree
of intelligence, even for a brute, l cam
not see it. Compared with the dog, the
elephant, or even the parrot, the horse
seems to me to be perfect fool.-Side-

A Great Act.

When young lady has safely got Il
dog, carefully inclosed in basket, past
the "dogs-not-admitted" sign, the ticket
seller, the chopper man and the guard,
and is seated at last in the car, she is the
happiest person in the world-for she has
Struggled, that vice dearest to the fem
inine heart There is look of triumph
on her face, touched with shade of fear
lest she may be found out, after all, that
no other situation in the world can bring.
1t is seldom that she can resist the temp
tation to open the cover little just be-
fore she reaches her destination, and let
the dog insert his nose in the outer world
for moment that the other passengers
may see that she has triumphed. And
when she walks out of the car it is with
queenly sweep which would make the
manager OF the road feel very small if he
could see it.-New York Tribune

ChiIdren's Dress.

Some mothers affect very odd styles in
dressing their babies and little children,
and they look quaint and bear with them
a sweetness and fragrance like that from
old time linen dresses I saw little
girl of about years old yesterday in the
horse car. She had little short wasted
dress of white nainsook, with sash
drawn up just under her arms. The
skirt had three quite deep tucks, and it
reached her ankles. She had on midgets
of slippers with silver buckles The
sleeves were short and left the white little
dimpled elbows bare, and she wore a
cunning little close cap of muslin.
The whole outfit could not have cost
three dollars, but there wasn't a person,
not even excepting a grumpy looking
old man, who didn't smile at that pre-
cious little baby sitting there so demurely
and sweetly innocent Of her own quaint
beauty.
It doesn't require velFets and silks to
make childhood lovely. Dress your little
ones comfortably and simply, but keep
them clean and neat and healthy, and
am happy to say that it is the fashion
now to do just these things.-Fashion

Dressing Children.

For play or school the palmer the dress
for children the better it is for both pa
rents and children, for it is torture for
children to wear a gown that is on their
tender little consciences. The more active
and healthy the child the harder it is for
it to be restrained by the ever present re-
membrance of that pretty dress that cost
so much money and labor, and that must
not be soiled or torn. Dark blue flannel
or calico, cashmere in dark colors, and
linen and the indestructible nankeen,
are all good, sensible materials for ordi-
nary dresses for little girls, and in them
they can move unrestrainedly and have
chance to develop healthy bodies,
which are the foundations of happiness
i had almost said morality, and don't
know but it is SO anyhow. - Fashion

The Parsees are sun worshipers. There
are only about 70, 900 of them in India,
and 80, 900 of these are here in Bombay.
The men dress in long, preacher-Iike
clothes Of black, with hats shaped like
coal scuttles, and they are very fine
looking. Their dress, when not in bust
ness, is often of the whitest of linen coats
anc'~xirts. They are the best business
men in the world. They own millions of
dollars worth of property L.ere in Bonn
bay and are largely interested in the
trade of India. They are more akin to
the Christians than the Hindoos in their
methods of living. They believe in
spending their money, dwell in good
houses and drive about in fine carriages.
They are charitable as well as rich, and
some of the finest of the public buildings
of Bombay have been built by them

NEWSPAPER SCOOPS
Some of the Feats Performed by Wide

Some of the Feats Performed by Wide
awake and Ambitious Reporters.
a history of scoops would form very
good history of journalism from the time
newspapers first began to be issued. One
Of the great scoops Of history was pre-
diction. The particulars of this scoop
are so historical that they can be found
in ''Kinglake's History of the Crimean
War" The London Times predicted the
battle of Alma 1t called the battle that
had not yet been fought by the name it
has been known in history. 1t pointed
out where it would be fought and pointed
out what would be the result. This re-
naarkable prediction was verified in every
particular, and, although The Times
afterwards kept on the predicting bust
ness as to the fall of Sebastopol, none of
its other predictions came true. This
shows the beauty of stopping predicting
when you have made one big success.
A scoop which involved good deal of
personal danger was accomplished a few
years ago by the correspondent of The
New York Times in London. Mr.. Harold
Frederic went through the cholera sinit-
ten districts of France and Spain, and
cabled a page to his paper, giving an ac-
curate history Of the plague, and show
ing for the first time what was to be
feared from the cholera epidemic and
what was not. In fact, it gave people
for the first time an accurate estimate of
the situation.

America The New York Herald man got

WE can hardly overestimate the
value of the stride made already to
ward the discovery and invention of
explosives that are safe for carriage
and handling Dynamite has been a
source of anxiety and danger only
worse than gun-cottOn as that was
worse than powder. But as it was
with Illuminating materials, so with
explosives. We have in beIlite a sub
stance that can be thrown about
roughly. A cartridge may be broken
in two and burned In a FIRE, where it
VIII consume slowly. It may even be
lighted while held in the hand and no
danger be incurred; or, what seems
more wonderful, a fragment Of bellite
may be fred from a gun without ex-
ploding when striking an iron target.
Yet, fred by a decorator, the new ex-
2iosive Is far more powerful than dyna-
mite.
