A correspondent tells US OF a curious
way to tell the number OF days In a
month. Shut your left hand; hold the
knuckes.upward; then with the right
forennger begin naming the knuckles
aud hollows between Thorn with the
months OF the year. January lights
on tho first knuckle, February tumbles
into the first hollow. and so on until
July perches on the little knucklc.
Then begin on the first knuckle again
for August and December will be
found upon the third knuckle.
Now tho point Is. that all the months
with thirty-one days strike the knuck-
les. and those with fewer than thirty
one days. fall in the hollows.
II is right amusing. but seems moro
clumsy than tho old jingle:
Thirty days hath September,
April, June and November, etc.

half a pound OF paper-shclled almonds.
half a cake OF Bakers chocolate, one
orange. with dark. rough. thick
skin; one lemon. one pound OF dates.
one small bottle extract OF vanilla
(from a druggist). Blanch the al
monds (this is done by pouring boil
ing water over them after they are
shelled and then slipping of the
brown skins); stone the dates; and in
cracking the walnuts be careful TO
keep the halves uubroken. Buy also
quarter OF a pound OF freshly grated
cocoanut Put the whites OF two eggs

gether into bowl. adding teaspoon
full OF vanilla. Mix well. and stir in

SMOKING AND CHEWING.
what TIE CIGAR and the riax Of Tobacco Cor
,taiu.

Joseph III. Bishie. revenue collector
OF North Garollna. at one. time was a
tobacco manufacturer and what he
says about the weed Is not at all pleas
ant Information To the smoker.
''Do you know what cigar con-
tains?n said Mr.. Bishie. 10 Chicago
reporter. as he took his memorandum
book from his pocket and read the fol-
lowing: Valerie. acetic. butyric.
formie proprionic. prnssic aud car
bolic acids. creosote. ammonia, sui
phureted hydrogen. pyridene. vIrtdine.
picoline. and rubldine.
''Isn't that enough TO make man
stop smokingp" said the collector.
"All those acids are found Ia pure
cigar. What then must be found In
the adulterated articleg Connoisseurs
imagine the little freckles that are
frequently seen ON cigars indicate "A
superior quality OF leaf want TO
dspel that idea. The pure natural
leaf in its yellow hue Is undoubtedly
the finest tobacco jn the market But
so many accidents conspire to render
the finest leaves scarce that even the
natural leaf is initiated Coarse leaves
are bleached by the use OF chlorine to
the yellow color OF the natural leaf,
and sulphuric acid. properly diluted
will produce the little frcckles you so
often see. SO. don't ever be misled by
the freckfed cigar.
But the men who chew are In even
more danger OF being poisoned than
those who smoke. The real nice plug.

which look SO inviting. is soaked with
all kinds of vile stun know OF fac
tory where New England rum is used
10 sprinkle the tobacco used To make
plug; another where Jamaica rum Is
put on 10 havor H. and another where
the rankest kind OF corn whisky is
used.
III know OF a negro In our state who
drank wineglassinl OF q mixture OF
Tonqua bean and wintergreen and died
half-hour afterward. But this same
stuff is used largely to adulterate the
leaf that makes UP the plug tobacco.
toll you that almost the only
chemically pure tobacco is that
which the planter dries on his
own roof and smokes in his pipe, after
crumbling 1t himself In his hands. But
the simplicity apparently don't please
the smokers. They prefer TO be
poisoned.
During the time Mr. Bisbie was Civ
ing the foregoing warning TO smokers
he was putting away at cigar that
from its odor was simply execrable.
and the hotel clerk will swear that he
saw the South Carolinlan take gen.
erous chew from huge plug half an
hour before he told what IL contained.
