Men After Women,

The women folks in the vicinity Of Aus
tin, Burnett and Eighth streets are expert
encing considerable annoyance from the
other sex. The other night lady paid
visit to her sister, who is married, and
who lives only few blocks from her
parents residence, when she started for
her home a man, who was standing at a
corner, followed her. On noticing this
she returned and asked her sister to &C
company her home. He then followed
both, but when the residence of the visit
ing lady was reached the man disap-

go home with her, but she'cut away and
made Decline for home as fast as pos
sible.

How Eskimos Use Tobacco.

These people, for thesake Of making their
tobacco 20 further, cut it up very nne ana
rnix il with finely chopped wood In the pro
nortion of about two parts of tobacco 70
one Of wood. Willow twigs are commonly
used for this purpose, possibly because they
have a sli0htly aromatic flavor. The mode
of smoking the weed thus prepared Is very
odd The smoker, after clearing out the
howl OF his pipe with a little picker or
hone plucks from his deerskin clothing IN
some conspicuous place small wad OF
hair. This he rams down to the Dottoh Ol
the bowl, the purpose of it being to prevent
the fine tobacco from getting into the stem
and olooQing it up. The pipe is then filled
,Vitb tobacco, Of which it holds only very
small quantity. The tobacco is then lg-
nited and all of it is smoked out in two or
three strong whiffs. The smoke is very
deenlv inhaled and Is allowed to pass out
slowly from the mouth and nostrils.
This method of smoking would be found
exceedingly trying bg any white man. In
faet IL usually brings tears to the eyes OF
the Eskimo, often producing giddiness ana

Weed Maps in Germany.

The Germans have some educational
ideas which we in this country have Dor
rowed with profit, and there are still
others which we might be wise to adopt.
Among them no doubt are the wall
maps of different species of pestiferous
weeds, which hang in schoolrooms where
the children can see them as long as they
go to school.
A practical idea underlies the display
ing of these maps. 1t is well known
that farmers are prone to treat all weeds
alike, and hardly to observe any differ
ence. between them, whereas the natures
of weeds differ as much as the natures
of other plants do, and the sort of
treatment which will externinate one
will sometimes increase and multiply
another.
1t is important therefore that the farm
er and gardener should understand the
weeds which they are trying to extermi-
nate.
1t is here that these German wall
maps come in. They show colored pic
lures of the most pestiferous weeds, in
all stages Of growth, and also the ways
in which they scatter their seeds and
propagate themselves. By learning them
thoroughly, through seeing them day by
day ON the walls, the child grows up
with knowledge Of the best way to ex-
terminate them.-Youth's Companion.

Liszt's Gypsy PrOtege.

The great pianist, who was passion
ately fond of the gypsies, once endeav-
ored to educate and civilize gypsy lad,
but failed ignominiously. The wild spir-
it of the nature of countless generations
could not be tanned, and though as a
child liking the novelty of the new life
the young gypsy submitted, but with d
bad grace, to the instruction of the
teacher List provided, he soon broke
loose, and became arrogant and inor.
dinately conceited However, his I'M
tutored playing was excellent, and he
became the pet of those foolish women
in society who are ever on the lookout
for some new craze to feed their Tightly
craving after variety. Soon the child of
nature pinned for the freedom of the fields
and savagery, and so he went. He ran
away three times and was brought back,
and then List let him go for good.
In after years he turned up again in
one of the numerous wandering gypsy
orchestras, but he was only then a medi-
OGRE Experimentation had actually
killed the real ability that as child he
had possessed. SO was shattered one of
the dreams of LISTS life; he learned
that savage man could not be tanned
quite so easily as savage beast, as many
had discovered before him.-Belgravia
