POPPING OF A PAPER BAG.

A Baking Powder Man Tackles the
Sparrow Nuisance.
From the Louisville Commercial.
One of the slickest men I ever saw was
a young fellow out west who was selling
baking powder, and was up to all the
lodges to advertise his goods. He happen
ed to strike one little town in which En-
glish sparrows were a great nuisance and
the authorities had offered bounty on
sparrow heads. The baking powder man
saw golden opportunity to give his goods
a big reputation, and offered to extermi-
nate all Of the sparrows in town inside Of
two weeks.
His proposition was gladly accepted, so
he began his work. He selected a large
vacant lot as the scene of his operations,
and every evening would go out there with
several bushels of corn which he fed to
the Sparrows until they began to get ac-
quainted with him and came to the lot In
bigger droves every day. In the meantime
he had sent east and bought barrel OF
empty capsul IS, which he filled with the
baking powder, and then put salt on the
outside of them.
When he saw that all of the SparrOwS In
town were coming to the feed ground he
had large tank of water placed there and
was ready for the grand climax. On this
eVentful evening he took his sailed cap
SuieS OF baking powder to the lot instead
of corn and threw them out to the unsus-
pecting sparrows. OF course the salt made
the birds thirsty and they Immediately
flew to the water tank and drank. and the
result was something awful.
The water melted the capsules and made
the baking powder rise. The poor little
birds tried to stay on the ground. but the
baking powder was too strong and COM
PEELED them to rise straight up into the air
and finally popped them open. The specta-
tors could plainly hear the sparrows pop.
and said that it sounded like the popping
of a paper bag. 1t rained popped sparrows
all night. and the next day not a single i've
one was visible. 1t is needless to say that
there is only one brand of baking powder
for sale in that town.

A Raft of Rats Drawn by Fire.
rom the Kansas City Times

From the Kansas City Times
1T Is an indisputable fact that fire will
draw rats said Louis Simonds of St.
Louis. During a recent big fire near the
river bank in ST. Louis fire brigade acted
the part of Pied Piper Of Hamelin, and.
with the assistance of the flames. drove
out of their hiding places into the Missis-
sipps as many rats as did the NEUROLOGICAL
musician. While the water was lighted by
the reflection of the confiagration, blacl.
mass was seen floating toward the east
shore OF the river. This proved to be some
thousands Of rats.
They were headed by their chieftain, an
extraordinarily large, black fellow, and,
finding their quarters attacked by the
flames, had taken to the river for self
preservation. The current carried them a
considerable distance out Of their course,
ard during their passage some hundreds Of
them were drowned. Spectators on the
bridge made bets on the race but they
we're all declared off, because on the Illinois
side there was no landing place handy for
the fatigued rats, and as far as could be
seen. with the exception Of the stronger fell
lows, the whole bunch persisted in the
river"

Jump Hoops.
From the Galveston News.
James McElroy, a young man who was

as the only man who ever succeeded in
tanning and training a tigress. Wild ami

to their will after having succeeded with
nearly every other species of wild beast
The animal that McElroy trained is Vic

Bengal tigress. She was captured at the

nobody but himself to perform even the

and even slept beside her. In this way he
taught the little cat that she must depend
upon him alone for every necessary of life.
AS 1t was McElroy's intention to make her
the only tigress equestrienne in the world
he took her every day into the stables and
played with her among the horses, to ia
miliarize her with those animals.
This course of training was. continued
until McElroy decided that the tigress was
old enough to leave the kindergarten and
enter upon the actual work of receiving

ON BUYING CIGARS ABROAD.
An Inferior Article as Compared With
That Sold Here.

"
That Sold Here.
From the Chicago Record.
One Chicago man in London insisted that
the tobacconists in purchasing their Ha-
vana cigars, were guided by the pictorial
value of the pictures on the boxes.
He said the boxes were the hlndsomest
and the cigars the poorest he had ever
found.
The English tobacconist will invariably
hand out dry cigar unless the customer
makes a special request for something
fresh. Within the last two years some Of
the shops have made an effort to push
the Indian cigars. They may he just as
good, but any one who had become acc!Is-
toned to Havana cigars wouldn't think So.
They have flavor of their own and wolld
appeal only to cultivated taste. cigar
that would cost 10 cents in the United
States is sold for ~ cents in London, and
the 15-cent article Is cents. In Holland,
Germany and Switzerland it is possible to
get American cigars and cigarettes at a
comparatively slight advance over the cost
al home. but the stock is seldom fresh or
tempting. eA 81
Cigar stores in Paris are few and far he
tween. They are known as government
repositories. and are numbered as such
above the doorways. The cigars are for
sale in small, sealed boxes containing four,
six or eight cigars each. Usually the CT
CARS are of bad quality and not at all
fresh. The native cigars may be bought
singly, but they can be smoked by no one
except a brave Frenchman. Smoking to-
bacco is sold by weight. 1t is black and
very bitter. and is used in the manufac-
ture of French cigarettes. An American
1O-cent cigar of fairly good quality costs
16 or 10 cents. 1t may be set down a
rule that American tobacco in France
costs twice as much as 1t would in the
United States. In France, as everywhere
on the continent the natives, who pretend
to be connoisseurs as regards wine and
viands, smoke bad tobacco. 1t is tobacco
that smells like something burning" and
1t tastes worse than that.
