The quiet little town of Pleassntville, NJ,
was aroused Sunday morning when the news
spread that Evan Adams. the man of one hun
dred and twenty-six housekespers, had been
driven up on top Of his house by his
latest importation. After breakfast, which con-
sisted Of only one potato and one cup of coffee,
which the woman claims was all that was
allowed her by Adams, she asked for her wages
and was refused. The woman then made
spring at Adams, who promptly retreated, rum
ming up ladder that was lying against the
side OF the house. The woman then pro-
cured an ak and began chopping the
ladder until Adams descended. The woman
then left, but returned shortly after,
and finding Adams absent, got into the
house and began breaking everything she
could lay her hands on. While SO occupied
Adams entered, whereupon she began to ding
books, furniture and broken crockery at his
head, and finished up by filling his hair and
long white whiskers with moIasses. She then

A Point for Smokers.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Lots Of advice has been given to smokers,
but I'll tell you something which has never
been written up and ought to be known"
This was told a reporter in the Grand Pacific
last evening by one Of the biggest tobacco
dealers in New York.
Come into the cigar store" he went on.
land You will notice that two out OF three
men will cough while lighting cigars"
The first person who set fire to q cigar
coughed quite violently.
Didn't tell your exclaimed the lecturer.
1.-TWO out of three will do that"
'Its caused by the smoke"
Never: When you are about to smoke cut off
the mouth end of the cigar. put the smoke end
in the mouth and then blow. This expells all
the fine particles of tobacco and dust
inside the cigar. When you have
done this reverse the torch, and you won't
cough when lighting it. Those little bits of
tobacco get down your throat and are in
furious. More people have been injured by
swallowing these little specks than you have
any idea OF, yet they think they were hurt b y
inhaling the smoke"

Railroad Engineers Ears.

From ths Chicago Tribune.
William Van Bokelin, engineer: II have
heard good deal about railroad engineers be-
ing color blind. Sometimes as you may know,
an engineers eyes become SO affected that he
imagines he sees things on he track But did
you ever hear Of an engine err whose ears de-
ceived him? 1 have. An engineer is always
expecting to hear the sound of q whistle. He
listens SO much for this sound that. after years
at the throttle, he will hear the sound OF which
l speak when there is none. In some instances
the company has had the ears OF engineers put
to test by eminent aurculists. In fact, have
been told that some companies have men en-
ployed who make an examination of the ears of
engineers after the engineers have been on the
read certain length OF time"

A Gingerbread Barometer.

From the Almsnach de PAteiier.
1t is nothing more or less than the figure Of

buys every year at the Place du Trone. When
he gets home he hangs his purchase on nail.
You know the effect Of the atmosphere on GIN
gerbread. The slightest moisture renders it
soft; in dry weather, on the contrary, it grows
bard and tough. Every morning on going out
Clavette asked his servant:
What does the general say?"
The man forthwith applies his thumb to the
figure and replies:
The general feels fabbv about the chest;
you'd better take your umbrella"
On the other hand, when the symptoms are
hard and unyielding," our worthy colleague
sallies forth in his new hat.
