What Smoking Does for Boys.

Now YORK AdVeruser.
A certain doctor. struck with the large
number of boys under fifteen years of age
whom he observed smoking. was led to in
quire into the effect the habit had upon the
general health. He took for his pur-
pose thirty--ight boys. aged from nine to
fifteen. and carefully examined them. In
twenty seven of them he discovered injur-
ious traces of the habit In twenty
two there were various disorders OF
the circulation and digestion. psIpitation of
the heart. and q more or less marked taste
for strong drink. In twelve there were
frequent bleeding of the nose; ten had dis
turbed sleep. and twelve had slight ulcera-
tion of the mucous membrane of the mouth,
which disappeared on ceasing from tho use
of tobacco for some days. The doctor
treated them all for weakness, but with
little effect until the smoking W as discon-
tinued. when health and strength were soon
restored.

How to Keep the Finger Malta.

My finger nails-ahi There is a little
woman in the Rue st. Honore. Paris. who
manufactures nail pomade TO soften and
whiten them-who has her own invention
of files. This red pomade comes in tiny
olive wood boxes and is put on at night,
taking care TO cover the nail with q thin
coating of this paste perfumed. In the
morning wash Oft what remains that has
not been absorbed. but never use a nail
brush-it ruins the fine tender flesh about
the finger tips. A little cotton on the end
of an orange wood stick will remove any
Impurities. or SOIL or stain. And never use
cut them; makes them brittle.
The little files / speak of are about five
inches long and very thin and fine. They
are not to be had IN this country, being an
exclusive manufacture of the little mani
cure in Rue ST. Honore. Burnish your
nails with cbamois skin; it keeps them
healthy, and never use any hard substance
in cleaning them. Always add the small
quantity of cotton and they will remain
both delicate in appearance and so timber
that they can be bent backward without
breaking.
Too much water for the hands. without
other ingredients. is injurious Most skins
take well TO oils or ungents. A good thing
for the hands is equal parts of lemon. gly-
cerine, u small quantity of borax and triple
extract of violet, TO swe eten the W hole. Use
this occasionally. but not for all times aud
seasons. Vary it-learn TO know what suits

They Withdrew Their Sympathy.

Boston Post.
In the chair car of q Baltimore & Ohio
west bound train the other day were travel
ing q man evidently about forty years old
and his daughter. about five years of age.
She was an unusually bright child, and
the pair attracted some attention from the
other passengers. During the journey the
father went to the smoking apartment and
during his absence the girl struck up an ac-
quaintance with lady. Then this inter-
esting conversation ensued. which was aud
:ble over most of the car:
Are you going to see your mammal"
asked the lady.
II haven't any mamma" was the reply.
But papa's taking me TO mamma"
why. how's that i thought you said
yon hadn't any mammal"
well, she amt my mamma now: papa
hasn't married her yet"
The lady wisely dropped the subject hut
when the father returned no sympathy was
wasted upon him rs widower, you may
depend on it.

How to Take Brandy I'm u Theater.

New York Recorder.
The delicious perfume of brandy per-
meated the east side of the orchestra circle
of the theater and every man turned
around to see W no had dropped q flask on
the floor. No one looked guilty and the
rising of the curtain prevented further in
vestigation. AS the curtain was rung
down again on this act, two gentlemen
from the suspected portion of the audi
forum arose TO leave.
Going out againp asked lady who was
with them.
Just moment replied the elderly man.
Stay long enough TO bring moro OF
those
The man smiled and hurried cut Enter
ing a cafe near by he called for two cock
tails, and while he stood drinking directed
the bartender TO make four more plums.
The bartender took four nice Jumps OF
sugar and, laying them in O saucer.
sprinkled Msrtel brandy on them. Then
be wrapped each lump in piece of waxed
paper. as earamels are done mp. and placed
them In q little brown bag. The gentleman
took them and went back into the theater,
where he quickly distributed them among
the ladies of his party. They placed them
in their handkerchiefs, and as the curtain
went up again quietly slipped them be-
tween their Dearly teeth. aud the same
scent of brandy was waited through the
auditorium. Nice way to take your brandy,

Advertising fn she SKY.

An esteemed scientific contemporary
says that genuine sky signs can now
be installed for the enterprising adyer-
tiser. by a simple arrangement Of
mirrors. rejecting glasses and lights a
sort OF gigantic lantern can be set up
by which images can be thrown upon
the clouds. You will be aole TO adver-
tise your wares in letters 100 feet long
on the skies so that they will be yisi-
ole over dozen counties.
As II this truly awful prospect were
not enough. we are told that these sky
signs can be made luminous. so that
they will blaze all night. Heine in
one OF mis- rhapsodies, said that he
would like 10 snatch a burning pine
from its Norway mountains and write
with IL the name OF agnes" in letters
OF fire on the skies. But he would
probably not have cared TO adorn the
ornament with a blazing description OF
somebody's patent trouser stretcher or
glowing picture OF a lady wearing
the latest thing in hygienic corsete.
