A Veteran Journalist en- Newspapers.

The most obvious faults of the daily
newspaper Of the present day are its mac
curacy and its partisan unfairress. From
these failings the magazine IS at least toll
erably exempt. The daily newspaper has
become so Untrustworthy with its loose
ness of statement its disregard of truth
and It's often willful perversion of facts
that fair minded men sometimes say that
they find more satisfaction in reading the
journals OF the party TO which they are OPP
posed than in those of their own political
faith. No man can be certain that he has
found the truth anywhere in the nevspa-
pers until it has been affirmed by major
ity of them all.
If the monthly magazine ever becomes a
daily newspaper let US hope that its first
and last purpose in life viii be to tell the
whole truth accurately. In the feverish
race TO distance ali contemporaries" the
daily metropolitan journal too often throws
decency and discretion to the winds.
Things have finally come to such pass
that none of these will believe the others
They are all busy in the discrediting Of
each others news. denying the accuracy of
each others reports and undertaking the
enterprises of every one but one-their own
journal. In such a state Of things what
can be expected of the general public, look
ing on at the jealous contention from the
outside? Is not the impartial observer
tempted to say, as he often does, Gentle
men, you tell the truth about each other"

About dozen years ago was staying az
q hotel in the Yosemite valley. The next

not know that, however. That man was
in public the most devoted husband ever
saw. 1t was Dearest" aud Darling"
and Sweetness every time he spoke to
his wife. He was regarded with admiring
awe by all the married ladies in the hotel.
But the way he used to bully that poor
wife of his when he got her alone was q

posed to view before the match is applied.
Notice these little points in cigars and pick
out one that has some little point that you
particularly notice. Some men prefer CT
CARS with yellow spots, others prefer hard
looking cigar, others loose cigar, and so
on. The preference is not material, the
pleasing of the eye is. When a selection
satisfactory to the eye has been made the
start at least to good smoke is assured.
Always look at the cigar before lighting it.
Turn it around in your fingers and look at
it. 1t is going to give you pleasure Then
light it, not by sticking it in flame or by
poking it in small globe, but by lighting
piece of paper, stick or match and hold
ing it up. Do not put the cigar in your
mouth and poke your face into flame
That prevents the eyes from watching
properly what is going on; but take a light
aud notice the flame as it goes to the cigar.

The earlier comic aImanacs," which con-

Value of stokers versus Boiler Tubes.

1t has been proposed 10 put safety valves
upon the stoke holes IN the great ocean
racers, so that the air can automatically
escape when the pressure is so great that
the boiler tubes and CRATE bars are in
danger. If safety valve were introduced
that would blow of when the stokers are
in danger there would be much collapse
among those useful hands. and much less
difficulty in securing each trip men who
are willing and able to so through the
fiery ordeal that stocking involves.-New

Engraving on steel.

Here Is another thing which many peo-
pie do not know. There are hundreds Of
national banks in the United States, each
of which issues bills bearing its name. An
assortment of these bills will show fire.

you notice any difference? See that YOU

Compare all the little dots and lines Yes,
they are identical. Well. the engraving of
one of these portraits is very expensive
affair, and no matter how skillful the en-
graver he could not make a second plate
which would be identical with the first
This Is the way in which the several
heads happen 10 be exact counterparts:
Many years AGO Jacob Perkins discovered
way of so softening steel that it could be
cut as easily as copper After the work
was done upon soft steel plate be hard
ened 1t Up to his time copper only had
been used for engraving purposes so far as
illustrative work was concerned.
After one Of the fine heads (emploving
this method) is engraved upon the soft
steel the plate is hardened to lis utmost
capacity. 1t Is then put on the bed of s.
powerful transfer press, and over 1t Is
placed roll Of soft steel which Is passed
backward and forward under . pressure of
twenty tons. This forces the soft steel into
the lines OF the hardened plate, and the re
suit IS a reverse IN high relief on the roll
of the engraved portrait where the lines
were cut into the metal. The roll Is hard
ened and the portrait is then capable of
being transierred-tAat is. rolled-into
nUmberless SOFT steel plates.

ESTHETIC SMOKING.
A SMOKER ANAEYzES THE FUN He
GETS OUT OF A CIGAR.
The Pleasure of the Weed Is Received
Through the Eyes-The Poetry of Hold
ing Cigar Between the LiPs-The Finer


Through the Eyes-The Poetry of Hold
ing Cigar Between the Lips-The Finer
Sensations of the Habit Described.
Almost all men smoke with their eyes,
though few Of them know it. They do not
light the cigar with their eyes, though often
poems refer to eyes, usually some girls,
as bright enough for that purpose; but the
real enjoyment of smoking comes through
the eyes and the touch. 1t seems to be
commonly thought that the senses of taste
and smell are those which are most affected
by tobacco, and those which alone make
man enjoy tobacco, but this is not correct.
Of course a man may taste a cigar, just as
he may taste . piece Of leather or piece of
wood, but, unless he chews, the taste of
tobacco is no more pleasing than the taste
of leather or wood; rather, on the con-
trary, it is sickening. Then men think
they can tell about cigars from their odor,
but Il reality they tell about them from
their appearance and their feel.
There are many men who hold cigar in
their mouths and roll it around without
smoking it. Some of them bite it and
others chew it, but the number who hold
It between their teeth or roll it around be-
tween their lips is greater. That is usually
the way with an old smoker. When the
cigar is lighted he has certain particular
place for it, and certain teeth between
which the cigar rests. With some men it
is front teeth, with others the incisors, and
some men shift their cigars away back.
DELIGHTS OF DRY SMOKE.
It is seldom that two men hold their
cigars in their mouths in just the same
way and at the same angle. There are as
many ways and angles Of holding cigars as
there are men who smoke them.
There is where great deal Of the salts
faction of smoking comes in. The nerves
of touch of the lips are as keen and sensi-
tive as those Of any part of the body; there
is no hard cuticle to dull them. The lips are
full OF sensitive blood vessels and sensitive
nerves. They curve, arch, straighten, be-
come hard, are drawn, and conform to
every emotion of the mind and to every
thought Most smokers have mobile lips.
The hard mouJhed man seldom becomes a
victim of the smoking habit He may
smoke occasionally because others do, or
he may chew, but he misses one Of the
greatest enjoyments of a cigar. These
blood vessels and these nerves in the lips
are near the brain. The contact of the
cigar with them goes at once to the brain.
That feeling and the sight of the smoke
are soothing; it is not the taste and the
smell
One of the greatest differences between
good and poor cigars is in the wrapper. 1t
is the wrapper which comes in contact
with the lips. a good wrapper is soft
softer than velvet or down; it is like fossy
silk. It does not feel this way to the palm
OF the hand nor when clinched tightly be-
tween the lips, but when held between the
teeth the lips touch it and caress it like an
imprinted kiss.
