down town, he found that the conductor
had passed plugged cent pieoe on him.
Mr.. Billiwink did not care for the value
of the coin, hut he had the average Amer
lean dislike to being overreaohed, and he
put that plugged coin back into his pocket
and bidod his time.
In the evening he climbed aboard .
north bound street car, and when the
conductor came round Mr.. Billiwink
handed him that identical cent piece
The conductor looked at IL and handed
It back.

Keep Their Lands.
WASHINGTON, Nov. s0.-The annual re-
port Of Secretary Hoke Smith, OF the In
terror department. deals largely with In
dian affairs, and he presents some prae-
teal suggestions for the development and
civilization Of the race.
The secretary discusses the subject of
education and of allotments of land in
severalty, and urges that the education of
the Indians should be for the purpose Of
fitting them to perform the particular re-
possibilities most likely to fall to their
lot. He presents the possibilities Of the
reservations as land to be improved and
developed, to which the Indians should be
taught to apply those modes Of agriculture
recognized in civil life. Their education
should fit them for this work, and they
should be led on with the assurance that
the government in dealing with this land
will treat the Indians with perfect hon
esty, and make no further effort to trade
them out of 1t for the benefit of those who
wish to settle upon it. Let Indians keen
their lands.

THE VAST SOLAR SYSTEM,

If our sun were removed to tho Pleiades,
1t would hardly be visible in an opera glass,
with which nearly 100 stars can be seen
in the cluster. Sixty or seventy Pleiades
surpass our sun in brilliancy, Alcyone be-

takes subordinate rank when compared
with the five most brilliant members of q
group the real magnifcence of which we
can thus in some degree apprehend.
If we seek to know the dimensions of
the cluster itself, we are met with many
difficulties, but on the assumption that it
is approximately spherical in shape we can
calculate its diameter to be over 40, OOO,-

GOOD or bad Cigars May Make or Mayfair

The gentleman who taught Prince Bis
marck Russian has been giving his reool-

ance of his is especially noteworthy. Upon
the professor complimenting the prince
upon his cigars the latter replied: GOOD

Not only diplomats, but men Of business
have cause to speak highly Of it. 1t makes
intercourse easy from the first, gives the
talk friendly tone and facilitates agree

ments and among the Junior partners of
the old ones its merits as lubricant are
well understood.
When an American comes here to

is per cent in that Englishman's favor
who offers him good cigar. 1t is of itself
an act of hospitality, and one which in
this country he will the more appreciate
from Its rarity. The advantages of the
business cigar are various. 1t predisposes
the mind to agreement, avoids awkward
pauses and deprives silence of nntagonism.
Instead of prolonging matters, as 1t
might be thought to do, 1t shortens them
by doing away with superfluous talk A
man with good cigar is indisposed to
open his lips unless he has something to
say. In diplomacy can understand that
tobacco is even still more potent ally.
