1T is strange the way each part of
this country seems to have its especial
favorite for a smoke" said Mr.. L. s.
Throm, who travels for a large eastern
cigar manufacturing firm Now in
the east they smoke more cigarettes
than in other parts of the country. In
the northern states the nickel cigars
have a big sale. Down south the che
root, which might be called AN all to-
bacco cigarette, is a great favorite.
Out West you can't get the goods too
fine for them. They seem to care more
for the high priced goods han any
thing else.
but eastern Ohio, northern West
Virginia and western Pennsylvania are
in a class by themselves. That is the
great stogie country. Wheeling. you
know, is the center OF the stogie trade,
and it supplies all that neighborhood.
The wholesalers there handle very few
cigars, and they don't run in price over
S15 n thousand. A stogie is really
good, and all that is necessary is to be
educated up to it. These people have
been educated up to them by smoking
them all their lives. "-Cincinnati

WHAT TWO OFFICE BOYS DID.
Awful Result of That Curiosity which

AwfaI Result of That Curiosity which
Marks the Average New Yorker.
Two office boys at III Nassau street
were left alone at luncheon time and in
sole possession of the fourth floor front
room. They took advantage of this
freedom from restraint by fitting up a
doll with a pair of black trousers, a
white shirt and a black peaked hood
over its china head. They tied its feet
together and bound its arms behind its
back Then they slipped a moose at
the end of a long string over its neck
and threw it out over an electric wire
so that the doll hung dangling about
twenty fee. above the level of the
street
The first man who passed was on top
of a high seated wagon, and he slowed
up his horses to look at the efRgy hang
ing over his head. This caused a pas
serby to follow the direction Of the
drivers eyes and to stop altogether.
The man Immediately behind him and
a boy coming toward him had to halt
at this, and seeing hat the man was
looking up stared, too.
Three men standing still on narrow
Nassau street are enough 10 attract tn,
attention of a dozen others. The dozen
stopped, then another dozen lined up
on the other side of the street. No one
said anything to any n else, but each
stared up in the air at the doll.
A man on an express wagon saw the
crowd looking up and pulled up his
horse and approached the doll cau-
tiously. He evidently thought there
was some sort of trick about II, and
that the crowd was waiting there to
laugh at him. So he stopped. The
driver OF a cab coming in the opposite
direction, seeing this, stopped too.
This blocked the wagons and drays in
the rear, and the drivers shouted at
the e1pressman and the cabman to go
ahead When they tried to do so they
found the delay had caused a block be.

boy tried to back, and founo a long

sardou, the famous playwright, is
now about 60. but he hardly looks
more than AZ. He lives chiefly at his
lovely little place, Marty, near versail-
les, the story of his love for which is IL
Illustrative of the power of n well direct
ed ambition. When Sardou was about
IS, and very poor, earning his scanty
daily bread by giving lessons in Latin
and Greek, and employing his alum
dant leisure in writing plays that no
one would even read, he fell in love
with Marty, a charming property and
pretty house, which dated from the
days of Louis XIV.
Poor and struggling as he was Sardou
resolved that Marty should be his some
day. When at last his first piece was
produced he devoted nearly the whole
OF the proceeds to making a first pay
ment toward its possession. Later on
he acquired the freehold, and Marty be-
came his own. Who shall say how
much this aim In life aided him In his
work and his successesi Too many
men of genius fritter away large earn
lngs on small ends. Sardou bears a
striking resemblance to Napoleon l.

An important Improvement has been
made in the covering of pulleys, by
which it is claimed 80 per cent. more
power a be transmitted, and all
slipping is reduced TO an imperceptible
factor. This system comprises the fol
lowing points: 1t consists in the EN-
ployment of especially prepared leather
covering for the pulley, which is e1
tremely soft and elastic and never
glazes by the rubbing action of the
belt, as is the case when ordinary
leather is employed for this purpose.
1t is applied to the pulley and held
firmly to 1t for all time by means of a
special cement, which is soft and never
hardens like ordinary eement or glue.
No rivets of any kind are employed, but
the leather covering is firmly attached
to the iron of the pulley by the cement
alone.-New Orleans Picayune.

Touching Tribute TO THO Memory OF One
Of the Old Time Comedians.
From THE Autobiography Of Joseph
Jefferson In The Century, we quote
as follows; James Wallack, Charles
Mathews. Fechter, Waiter Montgom-
cry. Peter Richings dear me, | am the
only one left . and many Others. Such
Jokes. old and new; such "reminiscences,
foreign and domestic; tales of the
Drury Lane, legends Of the Theatre
Franchise, and of the Old
Bowery; then the discussion as to
whether the actors of the past were
better than those of the present-al of
the old actors insisting on 1t that they
were, and all the young ones insisting
on il that they were not.
Again | recall Warren as one of the
bright features Of a memorable feast
Mrs. James T. Fields at one end Of the
table and her husband at the other.
Beside William Warren sat DIR. Oliver
Wendell Holmes, while Mr.. LongfeIlow
sat facing myself-l, the youngest man
of those assembled, and greatly pleased
to be one OF such n group. Here was
table talk indeed-a feast of wit as well
as Of viands. As / think now of that
interesting day | seem tolisten to the
brilliancy Of Fields. the wisdom Of
Longfelfow and the wit Of Holmes.
Then Warren modestly joins in the
conversation, planning his words to the
theme under discussion-so adroitly,
too, that no Joke is suspected until the
climax. This is indeed the very art and
perfection Of an anecdote.
Time rolled on and we met quite
often, always In the ummer To sit
and talk with Warren under the trees
was ever a treat TO me. He had known
me when | was but n boy. and now he
knew me rs a grandfather. No lack

OF his debut. l was not there TO see it,
but know Of it a though the scene
had passed before me. Thousands
locked to witness it. Gray haired men
who had been taken to see him when
they were boys hurried to bid for
places that they might do him honor.
There was n loving cup from those who
cherished him; flowers from a whole
city; a token Of affection from his old
comrades. l saw him shortly after
this and there was n shade of sadness
In his face. He seemed to feel that all
was over. A laurel wreath will cheer
its wearer when it Is bestowed on one
who Is In the zenith OF his victory, but
1t weighs heavily upon n retired head.
William Warren bore up bravely
under the burden of seclusion; but
time and the loss Of that more than
magnetism which is imbibed by an
actor from the warm appreciation of
his audience, and which had stimulat-
ed him for so many years, gradually
told upon his health, and then his
bright mind faded and he passed away.
Boston's best o and daughters were
present to witness the ceremonies that
attended upon his final rest. Those
who had lived and wept with him in
his art showed, by their presence and
unsurpassed emotion, how they were
saddened by so great a loss.
Relatives and friends, who stood in
groups about the grave, were over
come with sorrow. John Gilbert stood
gazing into the grave with streaming
eyes and a dazed look. He felt that
the time was fast approaching when he
would join his comrade."

DR.. Brown-Sequard, In one of his
lectures. with reference TO a check on
sneezing, coughing, etc, says: Cough
ing al be stopped depressing on the
nerves on the lip in the neighborhood
Of the nose. Sneezing may be stopped
by the same mechanism. Pressing in
the neighborhood of ear, right In front
of the ear, may stop coughing. Il
is SO also Of hiceoughing, but much
less so than for sneezing or coughing.
Pressing very hard on the top Of the
mouth inside is also n mean of stop
ping coughing, and many say that tie
will has immense power.
There are many other affections as
sociated with breathing which can be
stopped by the same mechanism that
stops the hearts action. In spasm of
the CLOTHS, which is a terrible thing in
children, and also in whooping cough,
it is possible to afford relief by throw
ing cold water on the feet, or by tick
ling the soles of the feet, which pro-
duces laughter, and ut the same time
goes to the matter that is producing the
spasm, and arrests II almost at once.
| would not say that we can always
prevent cough by our VIII; but in
many instances these things are posi-
bic, and II you remember that In bron-
chitis and pneumonia, or any acute
affection of the lungs, hacking or
coughing greatly increases the trouble
at times, you can easily see how i'm
portant 1t is for the patient to try to
avoid coughing as best he can"
