Smokers Beware.

There are reports of a mouth dis
ease among smokers caused, it is said,
by Sumatra tobacco, which forms
part of large proportion of the cigars
in the American market. Sumatra
tobacco is high-priced, but the leaves
being large and smooth, it is in great
favor as wrapper among cigarmak-
ers. As the leaves, beside being broad
and sleek, are very thin, the cost of
wrapping a thousand cigars with them
is not greater than of wrapping the
same number with tobacco much less
expensive by the pound. The taste OF
Sumatra tobacco is not pleasant. 1t
imparts to the cigar a fiat, bitter flaw
or, to which smokers object, although
as wrapper it gives the cigar a
smooth, pretty appearance. If the re-
port proves true that it is filling with
sores the mouths of cigar consumers,
the tobacconists' great favorite will
soon be condemned, in spite of its good
looks and convenient uses. --Ctnctlt1adts

A Pumpkins Wealth OF Seeds.

There were 636 seeds in that pump.
kin, at which everybody attending the
Chicago Exposition took a guess. Mr..
II. Mcl all, the exhibitor, opened the
big yellow rind at the Exposition. The
guessing at the number of seeds had
been exc ting, and when the count was
announced there was perfect blockade
all around the exhibit. Mr.. Mccall
split the pumpkin, which had shrunken
nearly third in size since it was first
objected to speculation, and took out
the seeds. They were distributed in a
number of tin plates and carefully
counted and recountcd. Then they
were checked over and G36 was an.
nounced as the number contained in the
pumpkin.
About $4,000 people, representing
nearly every country and province in
the civilized world, had entered theil
names and guesses, but of all of them
only one guess was correct. Mrs.
Charles Bixby was the lucky guesser, and
the only one who has ever in the three
years past guessed the number of seeds
exactly at the tournament. A number
of people guessed 635 and 631, but Mrs.
Bixby alone guessed 636. She will con-
seeuently get the prize sewing machine
promised to the person guessing nearest
the number of seeds. The guesses were
wide enough to cover anything from a
seedless pumpkin to freight car load of
seeds. One man guessed and another

A Wife's Thou ;htfulness.

Here is a pleasant recipe, which can
be commended to wives whose husbands
cross the sea without them, says cor
respondent of the Pittsburgh dispatch.
On the first night out, just as my Wis a.
Wis at table was sitting down to dinner
in the beautiful saloon of the City of
New York. steward stepped up to him
and handed him letter, saying: "Wlth
the Captains compliments, SIR"
Every night this performance was re.
peated. Sometimes the Captain himself
presented the letter. 1t was mysterious
and interesting. The gentleman who re-
ceived the letter seemed to be greatly
astonished when it came to him on the
first occasion, but afterward he merely
showed signs Of enjoyment in reading
its contents. He was very delightful
man and a great favorite at our table,
but though everybody was dying to
know where the letters came from, no.
body had enough impudence to ask
him.
But on the day before we reached
New York happened to be standing on
the companion way with this gentleman,
when the Captain presented the letter,
and the former said, as he tore open the
envelope: "Queer idea of my wife, isn't
it. She sent the Captain several letters
addressed to me, and asked him to de.

The following extract is from General

only furnishings consisted of table-at

chairs, and the universal feather-bed,

of the room. On my remarking upon
the limited character of his quarters, the
Count replied, with great good humor,
that they were all right and that he
should get along well enough. Even
the tramp of his clerks in the attic and
the olanking of his orderlies' sabres be-
low did not disturb him much; he said, in
fact, that he would have no grievance at
all, were it not for guard of Bsvarlan

Dead Cows Raise a Sunken Ship.

A somewhat remarkable thing lately
took place in the river just below Evans
Vile, Ind. A few days since the steamer
Robert B. Carson sunk in forty feet OF
water, together with thirty head of cat
tie confined in the lower deck. For
two or three days number of hands did
all in their power to raise the sunken
boat but without avail, aud the project
was abandoned Early one morning,
however, to the surprise of one of the
harbor boats, the pilot house and hurri-
cane deck of the Carson suddenly ap-
peared above the water. When crew
was sent down the steamer was floating
along sustained and upheld by some
mysterious agency. This was subse-
ouently traced to the cattle themselves,
which had become inflated by gases
generated in the carcasses, and the COM
bined buoyancy of these dead bodies had
actually lifted the steamer to the surface.
The boat sank again when they were cut
loose. Old steamboat mep declare it
the strangest occurrence in all their ex>
perience. -Ntso Ysrk Sun.

Fields of ice, sometimes having an
area of one hundred square miles, are
detached, and free exit afforded foi
the imprisoned icebergs. Icebergs and

the cold current that follows the bend OF
the eland from Labrador to Florida, Field
ice is formed on the sea surface during

origin far inland. and are the growth OF
years. Greenland glaciers glide gradually
down their gentle slopes into the sea,

hardy Norwegians are about to cross
Greenland, and intend to make special
study of the movement of the coast

bergs were formed little way off the

Blow in the Slot.

A quiet man with very forid face
was in crowd of hotel loungers up
town the other night and the discussion
turned upon beating the weighing
machines which respectfully request that
a nickel be put into the slot. One fel-
low could beat it with wire pushed IN
until it touched the spring which puts
the weighing machinery at work and lets
the needle loose Another made it work
by inserting knife blade, and another
put in a tinfoil nickel nicely ads susted as
to size and shape. The quiet young man
said soberly: tWhy put in anythinga
Blow into the slot" and Jumping upon
the platform he fastened his mouth over
the slot, and. putting out his cheeks,
threw a small cyclone into the works:
Sure enough, the old thing worked
and the needle registered his weight Is

"Well, declare" said the man.

They all blew until exhausted, and
still the needle never budged.

Sweet Apples for Baking.

Most kinds Of sweet apples do not
easily bake soft as the best cooking sour
varieties do. They have, besides, toe
little acid to fit them for pies, though
where no other fruit can be had than
sweet apples the demand for pie may be
met by mixing them with vinegar. But.
they need no addition for baking by
themselves. The esweet apple thus pre-.
pared is excellent and healthful and be-
ing free from crust with its mixture OF
-four and lard they are easily digested
by even the most delicate stomach. There
ought to be a much larger demand for
sweet apples than there is. There will
be when people learn how good they are.
