Opinion on the Subject from One whs 10
Supposed to BE an Expert.
A cigar dealer on Park Row gives a
lesson to an Euening Sun reporter on
how to smoke for pleasure.
Few people know how to smoke
cigar to enjoy it,, said he. "Most men.
after buying their cigars, stick them be-
tween their teeth and gnaw the ends off
recklessly, tearing aud loosening the
wrapper in many instances, light their
cigars, and puff away as if their very
lives depended ON finishing them. In
many instances the finest cigar will burn
irregularly, and smokers lay the blame
ON the cigar. The cigar may be to blsme.
but In most instances the fault lies in the
way it is handled. After the cigar has
been bought the end should be cut
smoothly off by the clipper The reverse
end should be placed in the mouth and
the cigar blown through. This removes
all the little particles of dust which can
not be avoided in manufacture, and pre-
vents them from being inhaled into the
throat and from producing coughing.
The cigar should then be lighted, and
particular attention should be paid to its
being thoroughly ignited all over the
surface of the end. Instead of putting
away like a steam engine, three or four
puffs every minute make the best way in
which to enjoy the smoke. The smoke
should be kept in the mouth shoSs time
In order to appreciate the flavor. Then
it should be emitted slowly. In case one
side of the cigar should burn and leave
ragged edge en- the other side, it is not
necessary to relight it, as l have seen
many people do. A gentle blow through
the cigar, toward the lighted end, will
ignite the ragged side, and it will burn
regularly Smoking this way is a pleas
ure. 1t frets me to see q man smoking
cigar who does not know how to en- Joy it. "
The National Importance Of Irrigation.
Irrigation has not received the atten-
ton from the country at large which it
really deserves. The importance of it
may be seen by glance at certain facts.
First in nearly two-fifths of the area of
the United States the climate is so rain
less that without irrigation agriculture
is practically impossible. A great por.
ton of this area can be provided with
artificial storage of water, and it will
then blossom as the rose Second, it ia
less than the whole truth to say that the
possible population of farming region
may be doubled by irrigation. That is
irrigation so increases the productiveness
OF the soil that each individual requires /
far less land for his own comfortable
support. These are not new or modern |
facts. Far back in remote ages agricult-
ure had its origin and reached its great
est prosperity, both in the eastern con-
unent and this one, in irrigated regions |

Two Remarkable Acciden,.

Jefferson Miller OF Jacksonville.
Ind, has good reasons for his strong
dislike OF both rats and threshing ma
chlnes. In 1872 he was feeding a
tnreshlng machine in the barn when a
rat ran across the floor. Turning to
watch it his left hand was pulled off by
the machine. Again, in 1887, while
feeding the same machine in the ident-
zeal barn above mentioned, a rat ran
between his feet. He kicked at II
snpped and had his only remaining
hand ground to pulp in the greedy
machine.--St. Louis Republic.

Worked His Way Through,

you've heard of boys working their way
through college by teaching, of course said
a college man to Chicago Tribune reporter.
Il presume you know SOME old fellow who takes
pride in telling you that he BACKED boots to
If you're poor and want to get an education
learn to play ball. That will take you through.
I'll bet there are a dozen or more men in the
eastern colleges who are going through on
nothing but their ability to swipe ball when
at bat and make it swerye clear out of the way
when some other fellow is there
Il know a case in point. There was a young
Irshman up in New Hampshire. He never
had completed his common school educa-
ton, but he could fool old Anse with his
curves. The Amherst team ran up against him
in game once, and it was decided that he was
needed at Amherst He went, the boys agreeing
to pay his expenses through college. President
Seelye examined him. After finding out how
little he had studied, the president asked him:
"'And what have you done?'

curves was the reply.
"'O-ah-yes, re, lied President Seelye who

The Blessed Brood.

From Good Housekeeping.
Gather them close to your loving heart,
Cradle them close to your breast;
They will soon enough leave your brooding care
Soon enough ascend youth topmost stair
Little ones In the nest.
Fret not that the children's hearts are gay,
That their restless feet will run;
There may come time in the by and by
When you'll sit in your lonely room and sigh
For sound of childish fun;
When you'll long for a REPETITION sweet,
That sounded through each room,
OF Mother! motherl' the dear love calls
That will echo long through the silent halls
And add to their stately gloom.
There may come time when you'll long to hear
The eager, boyish tread,
The tuneleSs whistle the clear, shrill shout
The busy hustle in and out,
And pattering overhead.
When the boys and girls are all grown up
And scattered far and wide,
Or gone to the undiscovered shore,
Where youth and age come never more.
You will miss them from your side.
Then gather them to your loving heart;
Cradle them on your breast;
They will soon enough leave your brooding care.
Soon enough ascend youths topmost stair
Little ones in the nest

MI. Blair and his Bill.

Senator Blair's educational bill is ap-
preaching vote. The Senate viii pass it
or reject it within very few days if Mr..
Blair does not do too much talking. He
has done the bill harm by occupying 50
much of the time Of the Senate in its be-
half He has shown wonderful industry
and great earnestness in his support of it
during the years that it has been before
congress ard the country, but he has not
given evidence Of the possession of
a great deal of judgment. If the bill
is defeated its defeat will DO due to some
extent TO Senator Blair himself. In more
skillful hands its prospects would be much
brighter. When the senator attacked the
newspapers for not publishing his speeches
on the bill he made great mistake. Few,
If any, of them had failed to publish the
substance of his speeches. They though5
they had done him full justice They lost
whatever sympathy they may have had for
him, therefore, when he asserted that they
had entered into conspiracy TO ignore him.
That assertion Of his was almost an adrnis-
sion that he regarded his bill as virtually
defeated.
He has become so thoroughly interested in
his bill that he has failed to notice the
change of public sentiment that mas taken
placs with respect to it. The greater part
of the southern people favored it when it
was introduced into congress seven or eight
years ago. They were struggling with
poverty and heavy taxes and they found it
impossible to provide their children with
such educational advantages as they wanted
them to have. Without studying the Blair
bill carefully. they accepted it because it
offered the kind of assistance of which
they stood in need.
During the years that the bill has been
discussed two things have happened. The
material condition Of the southern people
has greatly improved. and they have been
made fully acquai ted with certain features
Of it from which Objectionable results
would flow. The great majority of them
are not now, therefore, in favor of it. They
are confident of.their own ability to provide
for their schools, and they believe that it
would be wise for them to do SO.
Senator Blair believes, of course, that
they are mistaken. AT the bottom of his
belief, however, is the fact, probably, that
he doesn't want to suffer a defeat. This
bill of his is the greatest work of his life
If it were to succeed it would cause his
name to be remembered, because if the
government once undertook to support the
schools of the country it would continue,
in all probability, to do 50 as long as it ex-
listed. The people would soon get used to
having the government bear the burden Of
educating their children, and they would
not willingly take up the burden again.
Like the infant industries, the schools would
remain under the protection of the govern
ment 1t looks, however, as if Senator
Blair's name-would not go down through
the ages as the author OF a national public
school system.

Too Thin.
From the Ne,c YORK World.


A fat woman with very red face got on a
crowded Broadway car yesterday. She was so
exceedingly fat that it was a great effort for
her TO stand at ALL and aryoung man. as thin as
she was stout, squeezedup out of his seat, and
lifting his hat gracefully invited her to sit
down.
The fat lady looked him over with contemp.
tuous CLINT in her eyes, and then, in a loud and
angry tone, said:
Young man, suppose you thought you was
awful cunnin' to ask a woman as fat as am to
sit in the six-inch space that you have been
occupyin'. | am fat, but / am not foolish. aud
if you thought you would mortify me before all
these people, why yer barkin' up the wrong
saplin'. I'll letyou know who's to be mortified '
The thin young man blushed crimson and
muttered that he meant no harm 'didn' {
notice. ETC.
20, you didn't notice, didn't your Well.
this'll teach you to notice next time and not in
suit respectable ladies in such way. I'm fat
and I'm not ashamed of it, but if was thin and
scrawny as you are would go pad myself from
A to lizard"
The young man tried again to say his inten-
tions were the best, but she cut him off,
Shut up, you wasp-waisted cadaver, or I'll
pull you in two. Come back here and sit down
again in this crack, you long-drawn out link be-
tween hard winter and hereafter"--
She reached for him, but the young man had
wisely fed the car at the last crossing
