The Smoker of the Egyptian Variety . Vic

The Smoker of the Egyptian Variety Vio-
rnl OF Other aIen.
The smoker of expensive Egyptian
or Turkish cigarettes is q man much
to be pitied. Not because he is q
cigarette smoEer-that IS q horrible
ofense at hest--hut because he IS
actually victinized and defrauded
and maiigne;l and traliuced as well.
In the first place he is rarely if
ever regarded as other than Il corsl-
mon leather lungea cigarette fend.
The rank ard fle take him to be a
consumer Of cehabilittatod cigar butts,
or if they detect the TO hl1io> delight
full odor of the rich tobacco, which
varies from other tobaccos, they at
once put him down as a victim Of ca
tarrh, and probably inquire if he Is
smoking a ''cubeb"
Nothing in the world SO S,;..lls 4
smoker of Egyptian cigarettes as that
accusation, unless it be tie sneei's CT
the men who smoke the tWo-fof-a
cent dreadful variety OF cigstr9tte.
The taste of tho latter Is SO vitiate;i
and their moral sense SO Hunted that
they seorn TIE Egyptian cigarette as
a thing Of evil OF ask for one i'll an
offhand manner, as though il were
one Of the kind they are i'll the habit
of inhaling into their own lungs.
These men can never bo brought
tn a realization Of the fact that tho
imported cigarette ct four CT five
cents apiece bears the same relation
to their kind as q twenty five cen,
cigar does to ''t,vcfcr"-t---o fer five
Having extorted one from the victim
they take a Whit or two, pucl1sr and
draw a vry face, and at the earliest
convenient opportunity Sly 1t into
the nearest cuspido1, to the great dis
gust of the aforesaid victim
Then there is another thing that
CRATES upon tho sensitive feelings o.
the smoker of imported cigar ,ttes.
It arises from the habit that utter
strangers have Of considering the
little paper rolls IS common property.
| When a box OF cigarettes is opened
it is almost ta1tamount to general
invitation to all present to smoke
like the tapping Of the lid of q snuff
box was hundred years ago. It is
then the patron OF foreign things
wishes he had never been born, for
likely as not some rank outsider
steps Up, and reaching forth q greedy
hand says, Say. mister, give Us a
cigarette, please.
OF course the only refuge fer the
highly cultivated Individual is either
to give up cigarette smoking entirely,

Some Vegetable Malformations.

Below ground there are more alb
normities to be found than most per
sons are aware Of The peculiar con
ditions that attend the subterranean
habit favor monstrous growths. Not
long ago cluster Of sweet potatoes
was brought to me. Some were all
red uron the surface, others We're all
yellow, and some We're one-half red
and the other side yellow. The Irish
potato is fertile il its freaks. Seem
ingly not content with the under
ground situation, potatoes sometimes
appear upon the branches among the
leaves.
Occasionally potato when planted
whole will develop other new and
small potatoes beneath the skin and
out Of sight, which only calls to mind
how hollow turnip may have its
cavity filled with an aftergrowth OF
foliage, only to be discovered when
the root is cut in two.-Professor 3. D..

Shanine Granite Columns,

Granite for columns, balusters,
round posts and ur,ls is row worked
chiefly in lathes, which, for the heav-
lest work, are made large enough to
handle blocks 25 feet long and feet
in diameter
Instead Ct being turned to the de-
sired see ~ sharp cutting ins5its-
ments. as IL ordinary machines fer
turning wool anl metal, granite IS

as it slowly tur42a in the lathe.
The d;slka, which are SIX or eight
inches in diameter, ere set at quite
an angle to the stone and move With
an automatic carriage along the lathe
bed. Large lathes have four disks,
two on each side, and column may
be reduced some two inches in diam
eter tho whole length Of the stone b,
one lateral movement Of the carriage
along the bed.
The first lathe for turning granite
cut only cylindrical or coptcal col
umns, but an improved form is SO
made that templets or patterns may
be inserted to guide the carriages,
and columns having any desired swell
may be as readily turned.
For fine grinding and polishing the
granite is transferred to another
lathe, where the only machinery used
is to produce simple turning CT
revolution of the stone against iron
blocks carrying the necessary grind
ing polishing materials. Wasersy

How the Price That France Had to Pay
Germany Was Settled Upon.

How the Price That France Had to Pay
Germany Was Settled Upon.
It was at Versailles, in that fateful
February of 1871, when Paris had
just capitulated and the spokes1nen
of victorious Germany and hurabled
France were haggling over the bar
gain of a peace. It was already ap,
parent that finance was to play a
prominent part in the settlement,
and some Of the ablest and strongest
financiers of Berlin and Frankfor;
had been brought westward to Vel'
sailles for counsel and assistance.
At their head was Herr Schwab-
ach, the leading brain in the great
Bleichroder combination, but even
he shrank from the responsibility q
managing alone SO vast transferra'
of coined wealth as was contemplat-
ed, and urged that his father-in-law,
Alexander Mendel, whom he regard
ed as the astutest and most capable
money manager in Europe, should
be sent for from London. This was
done, and old Mr.. blendel attended
the conferences held between the
parties to the negotiations.
It was at one Of these that Bis
marck, pressed bluntly to name the
minimum war indemnity which the
new German empire would consent
tn take hl11rtel out those tremendou
words:
"Cinq millards. y
There was dead silence for mo
ment. Then Jules Favre, springinG
to his feet, poured out q rhetorical
and impassloned protest against this

E1rly Scientific Reasoning.

Among early scientist theolosianS
one question largely discussed was:
whether at the redemption it was
necessary for God to take the human
form. Thomas Aquinas answered
that it was necessary, but William
Ocean and Duns Scotus answered
that it was not; that God might have
taken the form Of a stone, or OF Il
log, or of a beast. The possibilities
opened to wild substitutes forsClence
by this sort of reasoning were III
finite. DR.. Andrew D. White in Pop

Nature abhors vacuum and shows but
little consideration for prodigy. The
child known as u prodigy is unknown as
a man. Now and then an exception to
this rule appears in the domain of music;
a musical child becomes great composer.
Straightway it is asserted that genius al
ways manifests itself in childhood. But
lone swallow maketh not summer" To
the precocity of Bach, Handel and Mozart
we may Offset the slow development Of
Wagner, Weber and Beethoven. The first
lessons in music were irksome to Beet
hoven, and Weber was told by his teacher,
"Karl, you may become anything else;
but a musician you will never be-" Wag-
ner's teacher often greeted him with u
similar remark.
Parents who grieve over the slow de-
velopment of their children should be COM
forted by these two facts of nature: Most
prodigies are doomed to early oblivion;
the higher an organism, the longer it re-
quires to reach maturity. A willow can
be grown in three or four years; an oak
requires from so to 100 years to mature.
But when. it is grown it is the oak and
not the willow.-Youth's Companion.
