v iuCigarB.

a we'll known business man walked into q
cigar store the other morning and tool ont
two coins, says the Rochester Democrat.
One was q dollar md the other n half dollar.
He laid them both down on the case and
pointed to a box of imported cigars, saving:
Give me a dollars worth of those" The
clerk handed them out and the buyer laid
the Blk that he wanted in a row along the
case. Then he said to the clerk: Give me
half a dollars worth of any good fye-oent
cigar" The clerk did as he was bid and
the tye-ceEters were laid along in u row also.
The gentleman then took the row of i'm
ported cigars and cut the ends off of them
all. Then he mixed the tlve-centers and
the tWenty-centers up together and put them
all into bis capacious vest pockets,
A friend who was standing near, and who
had watched the operation with a good deal
of curiosity, said: "Wherefore?" "Simplv
this, my boy" replied the man Addressed.
II am in n business where | have to give
away a good many cigars. am a man who
likes o good cigar. | canno afford to give
the kind of cigars that | smoke nv
self, so L buy n days supply and cut the
ends off. Ihon | buy some CHEAP ones.

the person, whoever he may bo. He thinks
that tho ones with the ends cut off have

cheap ones, whereby | save a good many

a Natural Razor Strou.

There are now blooming in st. Augustine
sixteen plants of the agave Victoria regina
species, or what is commonly called the
century plant, says the Jacksonville. Fla.
1lmes-Union. A towering column rises out
OF the center plant to tho height of gixtv
feet, but it " often rolegated to the rubbish
heap as worthless, for the reason that ma n
thing of beauty il has no further charms
for tho eye. Yet many thousands Of tho
shaving people of tho old world utilize the
shaft of the plant. They make use of il as
a razor strop. W. Chambers, auditor of tho
West Coast railway line, has had ons In usn
for many yeara, and it shows not the slight-
est defect from use. The strop is made bv
taking tho shaft of the agave and cutting
it into lengths Of twelve inches; these arc
split into four or ms many ''quarters'' as
possible, allowing to each piece a suficiency
OF the pulp or heart of the stalk to present
a surface Of not less than one inch on
which to strop the razor. The heart hard
ems in time and presents n fine, soft and
naturally fabricated surface for stropping
q razor.

A MODELS STORY.

Posing for One Dollar Per Hour-Now She
Owns Her Own Home.
ARTISTS like a slender model" said a re-.
spectacle young boarding house keeper in
the South end to the writer recently. ''They
do not care for the large women, who appear
we'll enough on the Streets"
The young woma who spoke is a. widow
pretty. and rather attractive, with none OF
those easy manner which one is led to be-
lieve are the natural requisites for the mod.
els who pose for the artists.
You wonder how I came to be a model
she continued, "and you probably believe
that the lives of all women who pose as
studies must necessarily be open to criti-
cism. No; this is entirely wrong. Some
years ago | found myself in New York city
with no money and a little child, my hus-
band having just died.
sit was my ambition to give this child an
education and a comfortable home. I found
1 could become an artists model and earn
81 an hour, with no fear of lowering my
moral character. The artists in New York,
my experience has proven, are a quiet, dill
gent set, and although frequently posing
thirty hours in one week, ] never had ooea-
sion to ~criticise the action of any of those
who drew from me. For a long time l
posed for a class consisting of an artist. his
wife and eldest daughter.
"Their treatment was always of the
kindest. l would never pose for a Iarge
class, but / have heard many a model say
that if she were to have her choice she
would much prefer to stand before a class
of illustrious male artists than women.
1.-The women believe their models to be
in q much lower sphere than themselves,
and they do not hesitate to make the most
cruel and unkind remarks. In New York,
before artists in Glasses are allowed to
sketch from the nude. they are obliged to
pass a satisfactory examination in drawing
from head and by other tests. In Boston.
here, it is different.
II hear there is one class which one
may join to draw from the nude by paying
so cents an hour. This mere perquisite can
not fail to bring about q state of affairs
that ought to be prevented. Boys and men
enter the class with 40 knowledge of draw
ing. In Boston, posing of men is the Gus
posed at the Art Museum for a number of
sketch my back.
IN Paris, l am aware, it Is different.
Artists do not hesitate to acknowledge the
fact that they live with their models, and
their life together ends with the finishing
of the sketch or etching which may be the
work of the painter. With the money I
have earned in respectable posing | have
been able to give my child in education.
and this house, | am proud to say, is my
own. If occasion should require, l would
not hesitate in returning to New York to
earn $50 q week as a model, but nothing
would persuade me to employ myself the
same way here among the Boston artists"

THE San Francisco Chronicle is be-
ginning to show it's anti Harrison colors
very plainly. In commenting on the
silver question it says with some bitter
ness:
The price of fine silver has declined
abroad, and will follow suit in the United
States. This was to have been expected.
The attitude of President Harrison and the
mugwurnp press has thoroughly convinced
foreigners that We are as far az ever from
free coinage, and the white metal suffers in
consequence. A positive movement in the
direction OF free coinage would send up the
price TO the ueighborhood of $1.29 an
ounce. Now it ia not improbable that it
will sag back to the point from which it
startei when bimetalists believed the
United States was going TO remedy the out
rage of 1873. And with it the prices of
commodities will be gure to decline also.
The American farmer is enjoying a high
degree Of prosperity this year owing to the
misfortunes of aGriculturists in other coun-
tries. but az soon as average crops are pro-
duced throughout the world he will begin
to experience over again the pinchinR
effects Of tho contraction which follows the
appreciation of tho value of gold.

signifies 1.-THE son of a star"

two emblems are the ethrog and lulab. The
ethrog is a species OF citron. The lulab, or
bunch Of palm-branches, in olden times

Jected, and WAS seldom out of peoples

basket with which wealthy Israelites

satisfactory explanation of the fact has vet
been offered. This shekel was the last coin

THE st. Louis Globe Democrat
a~nxiously observes that ''the Ohio re-
publicans should consider only ono
aspect Of the senatorial question during
the pending campaign and that is the
fact that a republican legislature must
be elected or Sherman will be succeeded
by "a Democrat" But there are two
aspects of the senatorial situation and
neither can be ignored. Ono is the
Foraker aspect, and the other the Sher-
man aspect. That is why it is extremely
probable that Mr.. Sherman's seat will
DO taken by q democrat.
