EONNETS AND CIGARS.
Sure Relief for the ETan Whose Wife Buys
 Cigars for Him.

When lovely woman stoops to folly and sets out to buy her husbands cigars for him one of two things is New York Press. If the unfortunate head of the household is of choleric temperament he uses language and pitches the offending weeds out of the window. This naturally gives pain tc their innocent purchaser and is eX- tremely likely to bring about family hurricane, with plentiful shower of tears. If the victim of his wife's good intentions is suave and diplomat he says nothing, but adroitly substitutes a box of cigars of his own choosing fo1 the gift which was meant to add to the comforts of home, and generously pre- sents the first box to the Italian boot black around the corner. This is un- doubtcdly the better method of tue two, but it has the serious disadvan- tage of encouraging the misguided wife to repeat the experiment which apparently worked 0 well. This is apt to be trying to tht patience even ot a patient husband. Besides it is very hard on the bootblack.
 AsSuredly some method should be adopted to prevent occurrences so re- grettablc. Since argument in such cases would in all human probability be utterly useless, we venture to sug- gcst another remedy. When a mans wife infiicts on him the gift of box of cigars let him accept them smilingly, remembering the bootblack around the corner. Then let him reciprocate by going out and purchasing his wife a bonnet approved solely by his own masculine judgment. The cure may seem . trifie expensive, but it will work. The woman does not exist who would not take the hint. For the bon net chosen by a man without reference to his wife's tastes is certain to be as acceptable as the cigars which the wife buys for her husband.

FOND OF WEDDING CAKE.

Post Office Rat Making Free in Cleve-
 land with Letters and Packages.
 'Have you ever heard of our post office rat?" queried handler of Cleve- land mail addressing a writer for the Leader. He is q kleptomaniac, born thief, I guess" continued the clerk. ''He steals letters and we cannot keep him from it. He has a taste for wed- ding cake, too, and his conscience never restrains him from indulging it. We have set trap for him repeatedly, but he is too wise for us." The clerk then discoursed concerning the habits of the distinguished rodent. He hides among the rubbish of the room." he said, land has several means of ready access to the outside world. He takes charge of affairs when we are out. The other day he was seen sitting upright on the table nibbling at package of hickory nut kernels which happened to be side-traclzed during transit through the mails. Not long ago box of wedding cake got lost. A card was mailed to the sender to come and cor rect the address. She called and when we looked for the package it was gone. A feeling something like that which crept over old Mother Hubbard when she went to the cupboard to get her poor dog bone gradually gained pos session of us. The rat had made off with the cake, and the closest search revealed only scattered fragments of precious sweetmeat. We thought for long time that some inquisitive per son was taking certain missives, but our suspicious proved to be unfounded One day we discovered several of the missing letters near a hole made by the rat under desk. He had taken them as far as he could, and then had bade them good-by."
 The rat makes the correcting clerks office his principal rendezvous. It is there that stray letters and packages are held for time to ascertain their correct address or for additional postage.

A ZONE RAILWAY SYSTEM.
Results in Tripling the Passenger Busi-
 ness in Hungary.

Results in Tripling the Passenger Busi-
 ness in Hungary.
 A remarkable revolution in railway traveling was brought about in Hun gary some years ago by the introdhc- tion of cheap fares and the zone sys- tenn, says the London News. The fares were lowered from about 10 to so per cent, and the country divided into zones, having Buda-Pesth as their ce1l- ter. The first zone is fifteen miles broad, the second to the twelfth are each nine miles, the twelfth and thir- teenth fifteen miles, and the fourteenth includes Gll the rest of the country. The fare for each zone is 10d. first class. Sd. second and 5d third; while the rates arc reduced Cne-half for parties of workmen.
 What the new system has accom- plished is shown by a report just issued by the Hungarian government, dealing with the working of the state railways for the years 1901 and 1892. From 9,000,O00 passengers carried in 1888, the year previous to the introduction of the zone system, the number has risen to over 2s,5o0,O ,O0O, an increase of 21G per cent. This result is almost entire ly due to the new system, the augment ation being six times greater than on the Austrian railways during the same period.
 The receipts have improved to the extent of 40 per cent. The third-class carriages were abolished last year on express trains running beyond the short distances. The growth of the traffic in the first zone by the ordinary trains has Teen as much Gs G27 per cent, mostly in the third-class. It is noteworthy that the first and four teenth zones, ur the shortest and long est distances, give the largest results. both in the number of persons carried and in the receipts,

TIE USE OF PAPER MONEY
Common to Nearly All CiFilized Countries
 -Issues in Eari ,us Nations.

Almost. if not quite, all civilized countries use paper money to facilitate payments within their own jur;sdic tions, says the St. Louis Globe-Demo crat. The United States uses paper money tO a greater extent than any other country. and in notes of smaller denomination than any other country of cqual importance. All of our paper bills except the gold certificates are in the denominations of S1, S2. s, Sl0, S20. $50. S100, $500 and S1 ,OO0; our gold cer- tifcates do not appear in dcnomina- tionS less than S20. The Dominion Oi Canada issues S1 and g. notes, anG various banks issue notes varying from s to S1,O00. Mexico issues paper money of 10 pesos and upward and the South American states issue paper ot similar denominations The Bank o1 England issues all English notes in de nominations of g, e10. e20, $50, el00 e200. $500, G5G0 and 1,00O The banks of Scotland and Ireland issue notes o1 e1 and upward. The Bank of France issues notes for 5 francs, 1O), 200, 5O( and 1 .000 francs. The Bank of Belgium issues notes of 20 francs and upward Italian banks issue notes of lire and upward to 1000 lire. The Bank ot Germany puts out notes for 5 marks and upward to 1000 marks. Austria issues notes of guiden and upward. Russia is the only European country which issues government notes, its paper money being of the denomina tion of 1 ruble and upward. Sweden. Norway and Denmark issue by their banks notes for krone, 10, 25, 50 and 103 krone. India does not issue paper money. nor does China now. Japan provides paper money of 1 yen, 2, ,, 10, 20 and 100 ycns, and the other countries. as a rule, issue paper money, the low est denomination of which is usually ten times the value of the coined unit of value.

ALI-BEN-ALI, THE CO1eLER.
Tow He Lost Ills Wives and His Faith at
 the Same Time.


 Ali-Ben-Ali was and is renegade. He believes in three gods, and drinks spirits of wine, corn and rye. He also believes that women have souls and that, while there are many houris in heaven, there are more in hell. When the rluezzin calls to prayer he puts his thumb to his nose and spreads his fin gers out, which is his Turkish way of expressing dcrision. Once upon time he owned seven slaves, four of whom were white. Great men were his friends. Now he cobbles shoes, says Vance Thompson in the New York Ad- vertiser.
 He might have been a happy man to this day had it not been for that devil of an Alcibiades. Ali-ben-Ali was sit ting on his feet, looking through the open door out on the blue waters of the Bosporus and the low sandy shore beyond when the Creek came up. He was a low-browcd Creek. He was peddling slippers with long red points which curled over like rams horns. Ali was absorbed in thinking of his seven female slaves. He kicked the Greek in the back violently two or three times, but otherwise ignored his presence.
 The subtle Greek departed. Under his low brow he devised this revenge. lie wrote letter to the sultan.
 "Well see about this" said the sul- ten. "Mesrour, off with Ben Ais head and bring me his seven nice wives"
 Mesrour returned in half an hour, the seven slaves, of whom four were white, trailing after him.
 Ben Ali is dead" he said.
 Mesrour lied. Ben Ali. by bribes, had secured his escape and, disguised as bale of tobacco, was stored away in a hold of vessel bound for New York. He is in New York now to prove that this tale is no lie. He cobbles shoes. At times he drinks strong spirits. Then he curses the com mander of the faithful and Alcibiades, the low-browed Greek. The sultan is } Mohammedan, and him Ben Ali curses; the Greek is a Christian and is cursed of Ben Ali.

NAPOLEON'S HATS.
Existing Relics Of the Great French Elm
 perOr.


 Careful inquiry has jed to the discov- cry that there are TO fewer than nine of Napoleon l.. hats still in existence. A writer in The Vie Contemporaine gives list of them. One is in the pos session of Mme. Claitte, whose grand father, Gen. Giraud, picked it up at MarenGo. At a critical moment Bona parte started of at gallop, and the wind blowing off his hat he did not stop to pick it up.
 Another of the hats, says the London Daily News, is in q little crypt beside Napoleon's tomb at the Invalidcs. This was worn on the 7th, Sth and 9th of February, 1907, at Eylau, and it is the identical one represented in the colossal picture of the battle by Gros, to be seen in the Louvre. During the peace which succeeded the battle Gros was commissioned to paint the picture, and in order that the figure of the em- peror might be faithfully depicted the hat was given to the painter.
 At the death of Gros in 1885 it was found under a glass case upon a wooden stand, and it was sold by auc- tion among the painters effects for two thousand and forty-seven francs fifty centimes to Dr. Delacroix, who presented it to Louis Philippe. The latter, after the famous second funeral of Napoleon, ordered it to be placed be- side the remains with the emperor's crosses and the sword he wore at Aus terlitz. Of the remaining hats, one belongs to Prince Victor Napoleon and another to the museum at Gotlla.

The late Prof. Morse made love by lightning, as it were. He met his first wife during an evening call at the house of her father and proposed mar riage to her before he went away that night. After some happy years she died. leaving him with several children. He rcmained a widower until at the

COURAGE E.. cU1oC2Y.
Why Experienced Practitioners Are Cool
 While Operating.


 An cld surgeon, engaged for the mo raert il dissccting, a cold roast quail. a:.d rzallirg, it must be confessed, only an indifferent job of it, had been lis tening incidentally to the conversation Of his table companions who were dis cussing tkc cal-npess and nerve dis played by the average practitionerdur- ing surgical operations, says the New York Herald. Both agreed that the poise and coolness shown by surgeons at times were extraordinary and hard to understand.
 Now, friends, if you will permit me-" interrupted the surgeon at this point, ''I would like to tell you that there is nothing extraordinary about it. The 'nerve,' as you call it, of the surgeon under such circumstances is the uost natural thing in the world. It is not display of calmncss which has been put on for that occasion, or an exhibition of courage summoned up for an unusual emergency, but simply the normal dcmeanor of a practical, matter-of-fact man who knows what he has to do and how he is going to do it.
 "The trouble with many people who marvel at what they call a surgeons courage is that they fail utterly to comprehend the conditions under which he performs his work. They imagine that he is experimenting, or that he doesn't know his ground, or that he will cut something that he ought not to cut. Nothing could be further from the facts. No movement in science or mechanics is preceded by Q more accurate foreknowledge of its results than the average operation in sura ". There is no such thing as guesswork about it. The operator knows he is performing an operation which is based upon an exact science. He follows rules which apply to all cases, and is secure in the confidence that causes which have produced cer- tain effects in given instances will do so in all others.
 "Why, then, should there be any need in his work for extraordinary courage? There are cases, of course, so critical or so unusual as to excite even the calmest and most self-con- tained operator, and when these are under treatment the surgeons powers of self-control are frequently taxed to their utmost limit. To the man who, in such a case, can wield the knife without a tremor, when life itself de- pcnds upon the accuracy and delieacy of his touch, we must award the praise due to real heroes. But in the aver age case, say of amputation or of skull fracture involving cranial operations, the surgeon neither needs nor possesses more than the courage of an intclli- gent. sincere man, who knows his duty and has learned how to perform it. His technical knowledge of anatomy and it's methodical habit of work ac- custom him tO conditions which alarm and excite non professional minds, and he goes about his task with a certain quiet, vigorous, assertive confidence in the result of his movements which the observer is quite likely to mistake for a marvellous courage summoned up for that particular occasion. It is courage of a certain sort, 1 confcss-the cour- age of absolute confidence in the in :sllibility of the science he repre- SentS"
