One night, getting into a -four
wheeler after supper at the club,
Henry Irving gave the coachman a
cigar. It was one of the best sam
pies of Havana tobacco that money
could buy. when we pulled up at
Irving's door," said Toole, who re-
lated the incident tome, 1.-THE driver,
who was a poor, melancholy look
ing chap at the beginning Of our
short journey, had become what east
enders call "a regular fop. His hat
was stuck on one side, he was sitting
upright on the box and was smoking
with a conscious air Of enjoyment
and superiority that delighted Irving.
"'You like that cigar, eh?' said
Irving.
Like itG he replied; it's heaven
ly. Never in all my life tasted any
thing like it-couldn't "a dreamed OF
such tobacco, thank you, sir, and he
pulled away as he spoke, while Try
ing, producing his cigar case, said;
We'll, I'm glad you like it. Here's
another. Smoke it at home after
supper
mo, sir, not me, said the cab
man. 'Thankee, sir, it's very kind,
but I'll smoke it on my box, if you
please Why, the very smell of such
a weed as this in my house would be

to raise my rent, mind you, but to

SMOKING IN JAPAN.
Three or Four Well Digested Whiffs Ex-
haust Their Small Pipes.

haust Their Small Pipes.
Zone day while travelling in rail
way carriage" said a gentleman,
speaking Of his recent japanese trip,
I'VE had just pulled out our cigars to
commence smoking when the door
opened, and Jap and his wife came
IN. We forgot for the time being
our smoke and were lost in the con-
temptation of the queer couple. The
woman was carrying on her back
baby, which was strapped on in pc
culiar fashion. The poor little thing
had fallen asleep, and its head bob
bed from side to side with the mo-
ton of the car. We found out after
ward that the women were taught to
carry children upon their backs from
babyhood up. We saw infants not
more than a month old with dolls
strapped to their backs to educate
them to the method of carrying.
Then, when they got older, their
younger brothers and sisters were
strapped upon them to strengthen
their backs for their duty in life.
II found that the japanese women
considered the carrying of an infant
no inconvenience, as the education
which they go through fits them for
it just as much as walking. Well,
having exhausted the peculiarities of
our fellow travellers, our thoughts
turned to our cigars, which we held
in our hands. We were in predic-
ament, not knowing the customs of
the country. We did not know
whether smoking in a lady's presence
was considered bad form ornot. The
more we thought about it the more
we wanted to smoke. For so miles
we rode in misery, when finally the
woman herself put us at ease by
drawing a small pipe from her clothes
and filling it with tobacco, ightingit
and beginning to smoke. You should
have seen how eagerly we grasped
our cigars and lit them.

mouthpieccs, and only hold enough
tobacco for three or four whiffs.
They use a tobacco which is cut ex-
tremely fine and looks more like
light blond hair than anything else.
It is of a very good quality, however.
The Japs take Whit Of smoke and
inhale it, letting it pass out through
the nostrils. They rarely smoke
more than one pipeful at time, but
if they do smoke a second they dump
the little ball of ashes out of their
pipe, which they refill, then light it
with the ashes taken from the bowl.
This small pipeful seems just as sat
isfying to the japanese gentleman as
the longest cigar to the American.

She was a pretty fair looking WON

These conditions made her search for

After that they came in quick success
sion. There was a lveryman, and a
groceryman, and a conductor on a
railroad, and a carpenter, and finally
she hooked up with a little fellow
who seemed to have no particular
occupation. He was musician, I
guess, when he wasn't too lazy to
work at it. He got acquainted with
the widow when she was hankering

Hunters wild Ride Before Stamped
ing Herd OH the North Platte.

A Hunters wild Ride Before Stamped
ing Herd on the North Platte.
ut was in the summer of 1S49. A
lot of Californians were in camp on
the North Platte, In the vicinity of
Chimney Rock. which is a landmark
now of former times. The Californi-
ans concluded they would like some
buffalo steak out Of a herd they saw
grazing in the distance. 1t was no un-
common sightin those days. But you
won't eeitany more. Nomore buff
falo, and never will be again. The
party | mentioned started out to run
down one of the herd. Witcher took
the north side of the herd, and his
friends came up on the south and
west sides. That stampeded the
herd, for the boys had fired on the
buffalo.
"They took a header toward Witch
er, who was on horseback. He saw
them coming, and he knew they
wouldn't turn aside for him. He had
seen them run before. In spite of the
speed of his horse he was soon over
taken. He saw the herd gaining on
him, and he began thinking. He had
been in many an Indian skirmish,
and I reckon a man has to think as
quickly in time like that as he ever
does in this life. Witcher had his
mind made up what to do by the
time he was overtaken, provided he
wasn't trampled to death before he
could do it.
1.-THE foremost of the herd, an old
bull, came upon him and gored his
horse to death almost instantly.
Witcher was an athlete and as quick
as a cat. He leaped upon the back
Of the buffalo and grasped his shaggy
name with both hands. That only
accelerated the speed of the buffalo.
Witcher realized that he had saved
himself for the time being. But he
heard the snoring, believing, infuri-
atod stampede behind him. His ami
NAL might be run down OF he might
lose his grip and fall to be trampled
under hundreds of feet at any mo-
ment. Pandemonium on foot was
gaining on him. He had to do some
more quick thinking. He knew his
only solution was for his buffalo to
fall back to the rear, and this is how
he did it:
''He had long knife, such as the
forty-niners carried in those days
He managed to getit out, and hanging
on for life with one hand he reached
VITA his knife one side Of the neck of
the buffalo and slashed into it. The
animal leaped like a maddened devil
at the thrust, and Witcher held on
like tick on a country dog. Quicker
than it takes to tell it he changed the
knife to the other hand and made a
slit on the other side Of the animals
neck. The blood spurted from both
sides and stained the ground over
which Witcher was going at a rate
that was too much for his comfort.
But very soon the animal commenced
to weaken.
Slowly he began to fall back, and
finally all the others had passed him
in the race in which he had had the
sendoff. The animal fell, and Witch
er jumped from the back Of the buff
falo which had saved his life. Under
any other circumstances to have
killed that which had saved him
would not have been like Witcher.
But this was q case where it admitted
of no sorrow. 4 man would kill @
dozen buffalo in those days to save
his own life. Chicago Herald.

| An Interesting Operation Is That by Which
He Changes His Skin.
A day or two before the actual mo
ment Of melting the caterpillar ceases
to eat and becomes wholly inactive
as far as locomotion is concerned
usually remaining perfectly station
ary. The worm appears very weak
and languid, but this notwithstand
ing he continually gives his body
berries Of gyratory motions, but al
ways without shifting station. First
the back will be bent upward or lat
orally, and a moment later it will as
sumo its normal condition, where
upon the head will be elevated, only
to be as speedily drawn down again.
At another time it will be noticed
that the anterior part of the body
will make two or three very rapid
vibrations back and forth to the
right and left, while less perceptible
motions are communicated to each
separate ring or segment Of the crea-
lures body.
It has been observed that this seq
mental motion is not distributed
evenly among the various rings,
some Of the joints seeming to dilate
considerably, while others contract
to less than half their natural size.
The effect Of these alternate contrac-
tons and swellings soon becomes ap-
parent, for the outer skin, now rem
dered dry as parchment by the sub
traction of the juices by which it was
previously nourished, begins to split
on the back of the second or third
segment behind the head, the open
ing disclosing portion of the new
integument. The rent being once
commenced is easily extended by the
dilation of the body and the various
other movements which are impaired
to it until at least three segments are
open, thus leaving a considerable
portion of the back exposed.
AS soon as the creature is conscious
that its back is free, that portion is
quickly curved upward, a movement
which invariably disengages the head
and leaves the whole forward half of
the body free from the envelope. The
head is next reclined upon the empty
case, nothing remaining to be done
but to Withdraw the hinder part of the
body This operation is performed by.

ing them toward the head until they

borious operation is performed in a
