How q WIde-Awake Stranger Deceived q
Michigan Livery Man.
Speaking Of horse-trading reminds
me of a curious trade / was mixed up
in a couple Of years ago in Michigan.
/ was in the livery business and a
stranger brought in a nice-lookiug
horse which he offered me for mere
song. The price seemed so low that /
fell into the trap, but soon discovered
that owned an animal that no spur in
the State could goad into so much as a
trot ] traded him off to doctor who
prided himself on being able to ride
any horse that could be saddled.
spread the report that the animal was
holy terror, and that no man had
ever managed to ride him. The report
reached the doctors ears, as expected
it would, and he soon made bet that he
could ride the horse. The parties to the
wager came round, and, as the doctor
liked the looks OF the brute, | soon
persuaded him to trade very decent
driving horse for it. | warned the
doctor against riding the horse through
the streets, and he said he would try
it on quiet road. Well, he won the
bet and the next day asked me if l
would trade back If he gave me 500 to
boot. ! agreed, and he told me | had
better send a wagon to his place. for
the alleged bucker could never walk
back. He paid the money over and
took away his horse. When ] sent for
the animal which had caused all the
sport found had traded for a dead
horse, which had the privilege Of
burying. The doctor had felt so sore
about the trade the previous evening
that he had shot the alleged high-spir-
tied brute the minute he had succeeded
in dragging II to his own stable. AL

SHOULD WOMEN sMokE7
Mrs. Frank Leslie Answers tho Question

Mrs. Frank Leslie Answers the Question
in the Negative.
The rule is no, the exception YES,
but the exception is generally mat
ter OF latitude. No pun intended.
Women In Turkey, in Peru, in various
tropical countries smoke, and with
them we have no quarrel. Some wom-
en- profess TO smoke by order OF their
physicians, and for them we have a
sincere pity. Other women smoke be-
cause they wish to be classed as Bo-
hemians, and with them we have moth
ing to do.
Tobacco may be sedative, but 1t is
also decolorizer OF skin and teeth,
and the girl who at twenty thinks its
use cunning" or .'chic," won't like its
consequences at forty.
Doubtless there Is something
naughty, piquante. provocative and
amusing to men in seeing a pretty girl
or woman aping their own mannish
ways and Offering or accepting a
eight from them, and pretty hand
or wrist is certainly shown to advan-
tage in managing cigarette. but the
dainty arm and shapely hand must be-
long to very stupid head il they can
find no other way OF airing themselves,
and the admiration that men give to
the woman who smo6es is very apt to
degenerate into license.
Every woman should know that her
power over nsan lies in making him
feel her TO be purer, better, more
moral than himself II she descends
to his level, even in her amusements,
she soon finds that he is her master.
A man likes to idealize the wo man he
admires, especially the woman he
wishes to marry, but If in approaching
the ideal with tmid reverence he
finds her redolent OF tobacco, If the
sweet mouth he longs to press is taint-
cd with nicotine. If the dainty fingers
still bear the discoloration of the
cigarette | fear the idealist would flee,
as did Lamia's lover, in horror and dis
may.
Man is attracted to woman by un-
likeness, not likeness, and the less we
dress or talk or amuse ourselves in a
manly-or rather mannish-way, or
copy him especially in his vices. the
more earnestly will he seek to induce
us to embellish his ruder life with the
refinements and beauties of our own,
and the grabbed old writer was doubt
less correct when he said: There is
no smoke without fire, and the smoke
of tobacco from a woman's mouth
shows the smouldering of evil fires in
her heart. Mrs. Frank Leslie, in n.

So destructive are the depredations OF

observes u writer in Chambers Jour

great to prevent IL sncrarce into build

to be pulled down. In the old era of
oak-built ships they were sometimes
found to be unseaworthy before they
left the stocks, with such celebrity does l.
do its deadly work. AS for renlrdiAl
measures, prevention is the only certain
cure. The selection of sound. we'll ra-
soned timber is as essential as the avoid
ance of damp and the securing OF ude-
quate ventilation in every part OF the
structure.
The most efficacious prophylactic is
saturating the timber with creosote un-
der high pressure, 30 as to thoroughly
permeate every portion OF the wood.
This has been practically proved in coal
and other mines where this DESTROY or

where only creosoted timber has been
used for the last thirty years, the extra
cost has been amply repaid by the COM

thus treated. In house building wise
precaution is the well smearlng Of all
