Why Smokers Suffer.

"Lots of advice has been given
to smokers, but I'll tell you some
thing which has never been written
up and ought to be known"
This was told a Chicago Tribune
reporter in the Grand Pacific by one
of the biggest tobacco dealers in
New York.
''Come into the cigar store," he
went on, "and you will notice that
two out of three men will cough
while lighting cigars"
The first person who set fire to a
cigar coughed quite violently.
"Didn't I tell your" exclaimed
the lecturer. 1.-TWO out of three
will do that"
'It's 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 expels
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 injurious.
Moro people have been injured by
swallowing these little specks than
you have any idea Of, yet they think
they were hurt by inhaling the

Two Freaks.

The man-frog was first exhibited
at county fair in one of the rural
districts Of France in 1866, and al
Paris during the whole of the fol.
lowing year. He had a stout, i'll
shaped body, the perfect counter
part of that of frog, and thick
skin, cold and clammy, covered with
numerous welts and blotches. His
great frog-like face, eyes five inches
apart, and enormous mouth, was
hideous to behold. He attracted a
good deal of attention from the
Academy of Medicine, Paris, and
delegates from that institution were
deputized to make him an object of
study. During the four years fol-
lowing 1866 he travelled all over
France and parts of Spain, and
made quite fortune for himself
and exhibitors. He retired to his
native city, Puyre, and died of a
fever in 1874.
The man with a goose's head first
appeared before the public at the
famous "Gingerbread Fair" at Liv-
erpool in 1872. He was 20 years
of age at that time, had eyes per-
fectly round and a nose eight in
ches in length, fiat, and shaped ex-
actly like the bill of a goose. His
neck was three times the length of
that of an ordinary person, sur
by a round, fiat head,
without a single hair. He seemed
to have as much common sense as
the average country boy of his age,
learned very fast and soon quit the
show business and studied the pho
tographer's art. His name is JEAN
Rondier, and he now lives at Dion,

Six Cents Damages.

"Six cents damages" is one of the
verdicts most frequently rendered
and least frequently paid. The only
use of such verdict is to force the
person against whom it is rendered
to pay the costs of the suit. Barr
ing the costs, it amounts to a dis
missal of the suit. Occasionally
defendants against whom such a
verdict is rendered, will, in fine sar-
casm, make an ostentatious pay
ment of the sum to the injured plain
tiff, but usually no attention is paid
to the judgment by either defend
ant or plaintiff. Possibly verdict
of this sort, left lying loose for a
century or two, might be discovered
by the plaintiffs heirs and figured
up with interest to a sum large
enough to pay the fees involved in
enforcing its collection. This is
not likely, however, and such judg-
ments left unsatisfed are not con-
sidered liens on real estate, nor has
the attempt ever been made to col
lect such judgment by seizing the
body Of the debtor.
It is not always the case now-a-
days that six-cent verdict carries
the costs with it. In New Jersey,
for instance, in libel and slander
cases, if the verdict is lessthan $50
it carries with it costs only to the
amount of the verdict, and a man
who RECEIVERS verdict for six cents
in such suit has to pay himself
all the costs of the suit except six
cents. The costs may amount to
several hundred dollars, so the sat-
isfaction involved in the verdict is
rather expensive--N. Y. Sun.

Capturing Monkeys.

Most all monkeys which one sees
in the United States comes from
Gorgona, a little village which is
situated a short distance from the
Panama railroad. The inhabitants
of this district are mostly native
negroes, for no white man could
bear the climate without drinking
plenty of whisky and almost COR
tinually swallowing quinine. The
whole region is marshy and covered
with extremely profuse tropical
vegetation. At night there arises a
thick vapor laden with fever, which
hangs over the woods like a cloud.
This region of wood is the paradise
of the monkeys. They travel in
troops around the woods, led by
an older monkey. When the people
receive the information that the
travelling monkey troops are near
the village they repair to the woods
in chase of them.
Their plan is very simple. They
cut a hole in the cocoanut large
enough for the monkeys paw. The
nut is followed out and piece
of sugar placed within it. A piece
of string is then fastened to it and
it is placed in the road of the ap-
preaching monkeys. 1t is known
that monkeys are very inquisitive
animals. Soon enough they see the
lonesome cocoanut in the grass and
hurry to examine it thoroughly. 1t
is curious sight to see how they
climb from the trees, catering to
take a good view of the concern.
1t does not take them long to find
out that the inner part contains a
piece of sugar. One of the boldest
and greediest sticks a paw into the
nut to get the sugar, and grasps it
as tightly as he can. But his fist is
SO large that he cannot draw it out
of the hole again with the sugar,
which he holds fast to, cost what it
may. The negroes pull the string
until nut and monkey arrive in the
vicinity of the ambuscade. In the
mean time the other monkeys Won
der what is the matter with their
comrade. They hurry to see where
he is being pulled to with his paw
in the cocoanut. They crowd around
him, chattering and gesticulating
to their hearts content,
Now the great moment has come.
The negroes have large net ready
and they spread it out over the un-
monkeys, and before
they know it they are prisoners.
They are sold to the employees of
the Panama railroad, and reach the
North American market through
commercial dealers.

Ye are pack of mercenary wret-

your country for a mess of pottage,

for few pieces of money. Is there
a single virtue now remaining
among you? Is there one vice ye
do not possess? Ye have no more
religion than my horse. Gold is
your God. Which of you have not
bartered away your consciences for
bribes? Is there a man among you

Where Boarding is Cheap.

The Tribune notes that "you can
get good board there for IS cents a
week, and this includes washing,
the use of two servants to run er-
rands, tickets to shows, three shaves
and all the cigars you can smoke.
This sounds delightful until you
learn that it is almost impossible to
earn IS cents week in SIAM" But

Death to All Who Touch,

A costly ring, unguarded by po-
lice or special watchman, hangs
suspended by a silken cord around
the neck of statue of the Maid Of
Almodena, the patron saint Of
Madrid, in one Of the beautiful
parks in the Spanish capital. tits
set with diamonds and pearls, not
withstanding which there is no dam
ger of its being stolen.
The greatest thief in Madrid
would not touch it any quicker than
he would the plate on his own
mothers coffin. Its history is Gu
rious and interesting and equal to
anything found in medieval folk
lore. The ring was made for King
Alfonso XII, who gave it to his
cousin, the pretty Mercedes, on the
day of their betrothal. She wore
it during her short married life.
On her death the King presented it
to his grandmother, Queen Chris
tina. She died soon, and the King
passed the deadly little circle to his
sister, Infanta del Pillar, who died
within the month.
Again it started on it's deadly
rounds, next finding a place on the
finger of Christina, the youngest
daughter of the Duke Of Montpen-
sier, but in less than three months
she also was dead. Alphonso next
put the ring in his own casket and
lived less than year after SO doing.
No wonder it safely hangs on a
statue in an unguarded square,

"You can't get off without good
excuse" said the Judge.

"You must tell it or serye," said
the Judge.
"But, your Honor, I don't believe

The attention of the mayor and city
council is called to the fact that there are
a number of breaks in the surface coating
OF the jasperite paving on Douglas avenue
The number is such as not only to attract
serious attention but apprehensive com

work had been completed. OF course the

OF refusing to accept or to pay for the
work until not only the city
officials, but until the prop

that they have gotten what the contract
calls for, and what they have obligated
themselves to pay for. The truth is that
the city has agreed to pay a very round
price for a first class pavement, which
pavement was to be fully guaranteed. and
until such work and such guaranty are
made satisfactory, the representatives of
the city have but one plain duty, and that
duty is to refuse to accept and refuse to
