These people, for the sake of making their
tobacco go further, cut it up very fine and
mix ii with finely chopped wood in the pro-
portion OF about two parts of tobacco to
one Of wood. Willow twigs are commonly
used for this purpose, possibly because they
have slightly aromatic flavor The mode
of smoking the weed thus prepared is very
odd. The smoker, after clearing out the
bowl of his pipe with little picker or
bone, plucks from his deerskin clothing in
some conspicuous place a small wad OF
hair. This he rams down to the bottom OF
the bowl, the purpose of it being to prevent
the fine tobacco from getting into the stem
and clogging it up, The pipe is then filled
with tobacco, Of which il holds only a very
small quantity, The tobacco is then ig.
nited and all Of it is smoked out in two or
three strong whiifs. The smoke Is very
deeply inhaled and is allowed to pass out
slowly from the mouth and nostrils
This method Of smoking would be found
exceedingly trying by any white man. In
fact, IL usually brings tears to the eyes OF
the Eskimo, often producing giddiness and
almost always violent fit of coughing.
A native will sometimes be almost pros
trated from the effects Of a single pipeful
These people carry their fondness for to.
baccO so far that they will actually eat the
foul, oily refuse from the bottom of the
bowl, the smallest portion Of which would
produce nausea in a civilized person This
habit has been likewise observed in north
ern Siberia, They also eat the tobacco
ashes, perhaps for the sake of the potash
they contain.-Washington Star.

THE owners and friends Of the
superb steamships that fly the Brit
fish flag on the Western Ocean, and
elsewhere for that matter, are angry
with Sir Julian Paunceiorte, Her
Maiesty's minister at Washington
He was a guest at the initial trip
of the St. Louis, the new American
liner that was christened by Mrs
Cleveland. Sir Julian signed some
resolutions declaring that the ST.
Louis had, under American aus
pieces, inaugurated new era in
the history of ocean traffic. The
Cunard and White Star people were
furious and with their great intiu-
ence caused the matter to be brought
I'D in the Commons. The eXplana-
ton furnished by the parliamentary
secretary of the foreign office, Sir
Edward Grey, that the British en-
bassador did not sign the resolutions
in his official capacity is not salts
factory to the ship owners. They
say that Sir Julian should have
remembered that an ambassador
has no private capacity and that the
statement will be used to advertise
the American line to the detriment
of the British lines, which they
claim have proved their superiority
The newspapers declare quite
bluntly that Sir Julian was made
the victim of a regular yankee
trick"

NOT Much IN IT

In its issue Of Monday June 2lth,
the san Francisco ChyGNitic devotes
four columns, with three pictures,
to flibus,er fact, rumor and specul-
alton. The story is healed "Plot
Against the Dole Regime. ~ Ii is
based on the tale Of a Capt. +.
Lupp. He makes an expose OF the
movements Of VIM. Stewart, whom
the Chroujtlc fails to identify as our
old friend Opium Brown. Lupp
has sailed IN the Halcyon, the fast
Yacht shat once brought a cargo Ct
opium from Hongkong to the ISL
ands. Lupp was offered 5000 down
and $4,000 more in the event OF
making a successful cruise to
these waters in a craft to be provided
bv himself While he was coasting
about for a boat for the business he
learned that Stewart had purchased
the Yacht Aggie, having the trans
fer made to a Seattle party. Lupp
then rushes to detectives and re-
porters with the story that Stewart
had mentioned arms and ammuni-
ton as the cargo to be carried. He
also took occasion TO remark that
Stewart had trihed with him.
To this stage the yarn may be
summed up in the surmise that
Stewart, alias Opium Brown,
who has been landing small
consignments of dope iii the
group, proposes to handle cargo.
Or Stewart, who is a decidedly
clever rascal, may be setting this
story afoat as a flank movement to
deceive the Hawaiian Customs ser
vice, which is close on his trail.
The hlibuster theory is rather
exploded when the yacht Aggie is
considered as the vessel for such an
expedition. One Of her former
owners said of the craft: 1--WE have
had as many as thirty aboard in
Yacht race. She could, however
carry forty or fifty men at a stretch

CAPTAIN PALMER, the CORE

of letters. All are from the New

Captain Palmer says the Govern

management is required for
almost any undertaking. The
thing that runs with the least
friction, that fairly seems to be
running itself, usually has be
hind it a greater bulk of
management than the thing
itself measures. But this
writing is shaping itself in the
direction of an essay on Glow
to Succeed" Discussion of
that topic is the sole right of
people who never succeed,
hence it will be abandoned
here. OF schemes for making
money, like making books,
there is no end. An advertise

an Ounce Of gall is worth a

figuring every day on the pro-
position of whether it is cheaper
to own a house than pay rent.
The conclusion must be that
ownership is preferable because
then it is yours and you can
do as you like with it. You
can talk tariff, which is a dead
issue in the United States, or
you can spout silver, which is
still alive and you can finally
put it down that the next cam
paign in American will be the
hottest ever known and will
result surprisingly.

had changed her course point or two
and was heading for the San Pedro.

passengers were crowdlng upon the
deck.
To their surprise they saw that the
San Pedro was moving in the same di-
rection as themselves an'1 throwing a
heavy cloud of smoke.
"Run, you bloody little scoundrel!"
said the captain.
Scarcely had he got the words out of
his mouth before there was another
puff of smoke-this time from her
stern, and almost Immediately there
came a crash and a hundred voices cried
out in alarm and indignation.
The shot had struck the Corinthian
just abaft the bridge; torn away about
ten feet of her upper works and gone
through the stern taffraii. Three men
were knocked down by the splinters.

rage and he stamped his foot and swore

The vessel was now racing through
the water at an increased speed and
the action of the engines made an
audible throb.
There was intense excitement among
the passengers, many of whom were
calling up to the captain to stop the
vessel.
He looked over the brass rail of the
bridge at them with indignant con-
tempt. As he did SO, one man pulled
a pistol and shouted: "Look here, we

Tho Thoughtful Charity OF Benevolent
Physician.
nDr. Glynn, benevolent but eccentric
physician of Cambridge, England, was
once consulted by poor woman about
her only son, too ill to be brought to
the doctors Office. The maternal
anxiety so affected the doctor that he
went several times to see the boy,
though the roads were almost impassa-
BILE for carriage, and supplied him
with bark and port wine at his own ex-
pense.
The boy recovered, and one morning
the mother entered the doctors room,
bringing a large wicker basket.
''We can't get no rest, DOCTOR" said
she, ssfor thinking of the trouble you
have had, and so my boy resolved this
morning to send you his pet magpie. F"
The doctor looked at the bird, re-
marked that he was fine fellow, and
then continued:
II am very thankful to your son, and
very proud of his present; but am a
good deal from home and my servant
is careless fellow, and am afraid
that he might forget to feed him. I
must therefore request you to keep
him for me, and / will allow you a
shilling a week for his board as long as
he lives.'
The old woman accepted the good
mans thoughtful suggestion, and was
paid the first months board in advance.

The Picturesque Visitor AIKEN for Rob

| The Picturesque Visitor Mistaken for Rob
inson Crusoe.
Sir Thomas Robinson was tall, un
couth man, and his appearance wa.
rendered still more striking by hi.
.hunting-dress, which consisted of g
tight green jacket, buckskin breeches
and a Positions cap.
He was liable to sudden whims, and
once set off suddenly, in his hunting
suit, to pay visit to his sister, who
was married and settled in Paris. He
arrived at the house while there was a
large company at dinner.
The servant announced M. Robinson,
and in walked this remarkable figure,
to the nmazement of the guests.
One of them, French able. lifted
his fork three times to his mouth and
each time laid it down without tasting
the food, and with an air of intense
bewilderment. Unable at last to re-
strain his curiosity longer, he burst
out eagerly:
Excuse me, monsieur; are you the
famous Robinson Crusoe, so remark
able in history?"
The laugh with which this naive In
qniry was greeted seemed for time to
add to the abbe's perplexity, until he
was assured of the identity of the
strange guest. Companion.
