PHILOSOPHY FOR SMOKERS.
A Man Known by Ills Cigars and the Way
 He Smokes Them.

A Man Known by Ills Cigars and the Way
 He Smokes Them.
 As test of character tobacco is use ful. A man may be known by the cigars he keeps as we'll as by the way he smokes them. No man of refined taste will smoke 8 bad cigar. The philosophic smoker takes his comfort in a leisurcly way, amid proper surround inps. and is able to shut himself out from the world and all its petty annoy ances as he follows the curling wreath into the dreamland of reverie. The man who allows his cigar to go out a great many times and relights it in successive spasms of fdgetiness may usually be set down as an incoherent character, quite prone to get off his trolley, so to speak, and certainly lack ing in tenacity of purpose. Tha man who fulnbles his cigar good deal and manages to get the wrapper unraveled and the fire all on one side may be dis missed as nervous person, with pro- clivity for uncomfortableness. says the Baltimore Sun. Men who chew their cigars, leaving their teeth prints on them, and do this for long time before lighting them, are quite likely to be stern, determined men, full of grit and resolution. Gen. Grant used to handle a cigar in that way, and Bismarck k said to do likewise.
 As an index of generosity or mean ness of soul, the cigar is quite trust worthy. The generous man, ii he smokes at all, is sure to indulge himself and his friends, when they call on him, with good cigar. The man who, with abundant means to smoke the best, de- liberately buys the worst cigars, and pretepds to enjoy them, is capable of almost any conceivable meanness. Per contra, the man who can find solace and refreshment from . cigar of good quality, or pipe filled with choice to- bacco, and who is always ready to open his heart wide and let his tongue wag the most merrily when he takes his friend into the hospitalitics of mutual smoke talk, is pretty sure to be one whose instincts and impulses are in the main honest, genial and right.

Most of Than Nohlaa.

According to the newly-issued army list at Berlin there arc only two men out of the sixty full generals who are of bourgeois origin, all the others be- ing of noble birth. There are no less than forty-nine regiments where the corps of officers consists exclusively of aristocrats. This shows that the aris- tocratic element in thc corps of officers in the German army is increasing, the percentage of rlcbcian-born officers having greatly diminished since the death of Emperor William I.

Calm Ansver to the Judre.

Robert Mclean, of Greensboro, N. C., was once practicing before Judge Tourgee, when he lost his temper at some ruling and used some petulant expression. Instantly the judge said: "Mr. Mclean, the court does not under stand you. Do you mean to express contempt for the court?" Recovering his temper, Mclean, balancing himself, said with the greatest good humor: ''I hope your honor will not press that question"

Bicycles at Last Introduced Among Red

Bicycles at Last Introduced Among Red
 Men of Indian Territory.
 The other day a strapping big Indian, smelling of campfire smoke and whisky, walked into bicycle store on Delaware street. For a long time, says the Kan sas City Star, he gazed at the bicycles ranged down both sides of the room, then he pointed to one and said: 'Me want" After long dicler he bought 8 secondhand wheel for fifty dollars, every cent he had. He had a return ticket to the Indian territory, and he borrowed a dollar from the bicycle man to feat with" going home. Then he pushed his bicycle out of the door and up street. There are now many Indians riding bicycles down in the ter ritory. At least thirty are in use at Talequah, and the towns of Musko- gee ..Vinta and Sepulpa and many others have riders. Imagine an Indian war with this new state of affairs. A little handful of men-they are always little handfuls-are crouched behind the ruins of their wagon and the bodies of their dead mules selling their lives dearly. Just out of rife shot there cir cles about them on bicycles band of fierce and bloodthirsty Indians with lit- tie caps with green visors and trimmed with eagle feathers. When every thing looks darkest the whirr of the wheels is heard in the distance and a troop of United States bicyclery dashes up, the steel of their machines glinting in the sun and with ringing cheers charge in pursuit of the retiring Indi- ans, who pump away across the prairie at full speed.
